PATRoNIzE HOME INDUSTRY.

In all times. but more especially in
crucial seasons like the present when
the life Of community depends upon
the active and continuous circulation
Of a limited volume Of ready money

omy in buying every commodity re-
quired for family consumption or other
purposes; but II may be fairly doubted

over the charges asked by home mer-
chants Granting even, however, that
this is 50, and that small saving
is effected by buying goods in Port
land; in small, isolated neighbOrhood

so intimately related and involved with

public injustice, but suicidal policy,
TO send one dollar away from home
