ing at home is the most valuable
to the town. A day laborer who
spends 500 during the year,
and spends it with home mer-
chants, is worth far more to the
business OF the town than the
ricn man whose expended wealth
drops into the till Of some foreign
merchant, whose cvt prices on q

had a chance, would like to dupli-
