bazaar recently they wrote this Chi.
caeo concern and a similar one 10
the same city, asking for a eonlri-
button. The first letters brought
no answers, bat he secooa elected
reply from one Of the chicago
houses to the effect that they gave
sway a great deal in charity, bdt
confined their giving to their own
home town.
"Why not allow them 10 make
their money off their home town."
AS rule we make nothing BY
pa,ronizing other towns than our
own. II you trade with . mail
order house you have 10 send the
cash, and when you consider this
fact and compare quality, count,
freight, etc, you find you have
made nothing by sending your mon
ey away from home.
II you send your money away
from your home town for your
goods, they have the money and
you the goods, but il you buy from
your home merchant then your
home town has the money and you
have the goods, and both are mu
tually benefited and you have done
that much to help build up the bus
mess of your own town. Besides
this your home merchant can't af-
ford to sell 700 inferior goods for a
superior price. His prices must
average along with the goods or he
loses trade and the cool opinion Of
his neigh5or, and this no reputable
merchant wants to do. Your mer-
chant at home usually buys in car
load lots and gets his merchandise
just as cheaply as the city dealer
does, and when quality is considers
ed. he invariably sells more cLeaply
than the other fellow.
Your home merchant has a limit
ed field and is obliged, as a matter
of self interest, to deal fairly with
YOU. The amount Of goods re-
turned by their duped customers to
these mail order houses you never
hear Of, but it is said to be true that
one house in Chicago has now on
hand over 1000 sewing maehiaes
that have been returned to them, be-
sides uunIberless other articles.
Again your home merchant takes
your farm products, pays his license
and his taxes to build your court
houses, city halls, and make all pub
lie improvements. helps to build
your churches. maintain your
schools and contributes to every
home enterprise and has the same
interest in the community you have.
Has interest is yours and your in
terest is his, and by a union OF ef-
fort YOU can build up a prosperous
community and promote each others
interests. Patronizs home ms ii.

sounds the Alarm.

If, as is announced, the Republic
cans intend 10 get the best men to
stand for the senate AID legislature
throughout the state, Democrats
must take heed.
II the Republicans Of St. Louis
place such men before the people of
this city and the Democrats fail to
do so, the Republican nominees
will be elected. The Democrats
would deserve defeat. In the pres
ent state of tie public mind the
party which temporizes with ques-
tionsble aspirants for legislative po-
sision will receive merited rebuke at
the polls next November.
II is Of more importance TO elect
s,iaigh, men to the General Assem-
bly, than straight Democrats or Re-
p~ublieans. II Democrats fail to
realize this feeling Of the public
there is grave danger that the mex,
United States Senator from Missouri
will be a Republican. The people
are determined to abolish the cor
rupt lobby from Jefferson City If
such a thing Il possible.
Spacious promises will not count
in the next campaign. The eharae-
ter Of the nominees will be The only
criterion at the ballot box. Every
influence which makes for better
government will assist "a eneouFag-
ing the party fulfilling 10 the great.

must be RAISED.
The above sounds The alarm TO
the Democrats and intimsies TO them
that ''yaller dog nominations will
not do this year, tba, the people are
alarmed, and straight clean men
must be put forward. The Repub.
licans will have 10 put out men fl

We hear q great deal these latter
times about religious decsdence,
empty church pews and the inditfer-
ence Of church members, aud the
unbeliet Of the masses Of our CHI
zens, bat The facts do not bear ont
any such assumption. The mem.
bership Of the varions religious bod
les OF The United States has in
creased y larger proportions in the
last ten years than the population
OF the country during the same time.
The population has increased at the
rate Of about % per cent, while the
church membership has increased at
the rate Of nearly AZ per cent. So
it is apparent that the churches are
holding their own.

'chanics and isbbrefs find difficulty

sidered Old age, so clearly in the

Yet there must be some basis for
the criticisms some reason for the

be taken TO correct the evil"
The temper Of the labor element
on this point must be Judged from
