Would Destroy Confidence.

Congressman Fordney writes TO the
American Economist as follows:
Saginaw, West Side, Mich, July %.
Editor American Economist, New York.
Dear Sir: Apropos to your strenuous
fight for protection, and incidentally
against the proposed Cuban reciprocity
measure, / inclose clipping from a
local paper which goes TO show what
the American sugar beet and beet sugar
industries may develop into if given
the same chance in the future which
they have had in the past. What Is
true of Michigan will in time be true of
ness is not destroyed by harmful legisla-
ton. 1t may be urged that 20 per
cent cut will not destroy the industry.
That might be true, but it certainly
will destroy confidence in the industry
and retard its development, TO say the
least. And is an American Congress
going TO strike this all important enter
prise. as well as others, a body blow,
simply TO assist the Cuban farmer, on
the surface. but in reality the Sugar
Refining Trust! Respectfully,
j. w. FoRDNEY.
The newspaper clipping to which
Congressman Fordney alludes is from
the Courier Herald of Saginaw, Mich,
an important center of the sugar beet
and beet sugar interests. The article is
headed Don't Monkey With the Sugar
Beet" and is intended to show the vital
Importance of sugar beet culture in that
part of Michigan as affecting the pros
perity alike of the farmers and the wage
earners who find employment in the
beet fields For example, two girls,
both under IS years of age. last week
received slS. 50 apiece for wedding sugar
beets. This one item is pointed out as
an inkling of the reason why the agri |
cultural interest of this section Of the |
Safe stands so solidly against anything |
proposed at Washington that bears any
menacesto the beet sugar industry: and
also why Congressman Fordney last fall |
had the good will of the people of the
districts of the Eighth Congress
sional district without regard to their
party connections. The Courier Herald |
closes by saying:
The sugar beet has been potent and
large factor in the prosperity of this
section of Michigan And any one who |
approaches it around here with intent
to minimize its influence will run up |
against trouble.

The Home Merchant.

Florida Parishes.
We have stated to our readers
again and again that it was their
bounden duty as good citizens to
patrOnize the home merchant
rather than send out Of town to
buy their necessary supplies
and we now reiterate the state
ment and would make it more
emphatic. There are very MANY
reasons why you should give the
dealer near you, your trade and
support. He lives here and helps
to build up your town and de-
velop tie country, and helps
you. You need your home
stores and they need your trade.
Stop, think. and tell US what a
town would amount to without
its merchants.
But besides the duty of ali the
people to give the local merchant
their trade, there is also a duty
that the merchant owes to the
people, and that Is to supply
them with fair assortment of
good goods at prices not far
above the prices of mail order
houses in the large cities.
Our home merchant can as
rule put goods in his store for
much less money than any of
his customers can buy the same
for and pay freight on them. If
they would do this then sell
close, could they not keep a
large share of this mail order
trade at home? 1t is much more
for people to buy
goods that they can see before
hey buy.
Probably more than $4,000
soes each year from the terri
DRY from which our merchants
raw their trade, and quite
likely it might double that figure.
