Reciprocity Must be
Practiced.

An animated discussion occur
red in our presence a few days
since over the question that one
will, inrariably, buy, in the cheap
est market, every article of house.
hold use for the family. So far
as it relates to our home mer-
chants, we say correct. But when
it is made q pretext to buy away
from home, we emphatically say
it is wrong, and should not be
done.
Why?
Because, primarily, it reduces
our money circulation, and, there
by, in its many rami6cations,
works a loss to and injuriously ef-
fects several lines of business.
Let Us illustrate: Suppose a
dry goods merchant, to save a
few cents, sends 10 Solari or some
other New Orleans merchant a
$50 bill of groceries for the fami-
" use, that is just that much tax
on away from our local grocery
mon; with that money the grocery
men could buy dry goods for their
families, and, would, perhaps, buy
from this same merchant. So
that in sending that money away
it goes out of home hands, and is
lost to local circulation. Now the
New Orleans merchant, does not
spend a cent here-he has no fam
lily, no clerk hire, no rent, and be-
nefits no one here. On the other
hand. our local grocerymen, buy
their dry goods and other necessi'
ties from their home merchants
and keeps that money going from
merchant to merchant, and all
gets slice of it; and, in conse-
auence, business is moving right
along.
Now, suppose, for family use
the dry goods man should buy his
groceries in the city; the hard
ware man should buy his dry
goods in the city; the druggist
should buy his groceries, dry
goods, hardware, and furniture ir
the city; the grocery man should
buy, also, all these things in thu
city; and the general buyer would
20 to the hardware man to order
his groceries from the city, or, thu
grocery man would be requested
to order some dry goods from
Holmes for his customers, viii
some one tell us where the goot
to the town, and its business
would come IMP
To keep our town in its presen
prosperous state, as we'll as for it
further progress We must preach
and above all, practice reciprocit,,
in our business relations.
