date had the following timely
comment on the mail order oc.
topus
Nearly all the large wholesale
concerns in Kansas City aud
other ccnters of trade in tie
West have begun IA determined
war on the mail order concerns
in Chicago, which are doing
much 70 demoralize business in
the smaller towns. The writer
of this has always contended that
the man who patronizes a mail
order house is the loser in the
end. He may save a few cents
on the cost Of an article by pur-
chasing from a mail order house,
but If he would do his trading
with home merchants they would
be enabled TO carry better stocks
and give him lower prices. The
mail order house never gives him
a days credit on a single cent
every deal must be for spot cash
with the order-while in case Of
sickness or crop failure the local
dealer is willing to carry the &C
counts of his customers for a
reasonable time and extend them
all the accommodations which his
capital will allow him. II pays
in all ways to trade at home.
The mail order house does not
help you to pay your taxessor
build your churches and school
houses. The local merchant does.
The mail order house does not
sympathize with you or extend a
helping hand when sickness and
death invade your home. The
local merchant does.
The mail order house makes
you pay every cent Of express
and postal charges for the deliv-
cry of goods. The local merchant
lays them down at your door free
of charge within a reasonable
distance.
The mail order house will not
buy your produce at any price.
The home merchant takes II at
all times and pays you the high
est price. either in cash or trade.
In all ways it pays TO trade at
home. 1t would take all the
space in the Democrat TO .enusn
crate the reasons why you should
patronize your local merchant,
and not one line would be requir-
ed TO give reasons for buying
from mail order houses.
In discussing this matter with
a reporter for the Kansas City
World a day or two since,a prom
inent dry goods jobber said:
The mail order business sim.
ply transfers trade from the
rural districts to the larger trade
centers without benehtting any
one except the mail order houses.
The largest mail order houses
sell few goods locally, in fact, the
large catalogue concerns of Chi.
cago make no pretensions to sell
ing goods at home.
The most astounding fact in
connection with the mail order
business is that the country PEG
pie are willing 10 send their mon.
ey away from home to the great
detriment of their own localities;
seeking TO save a pittance in
which they are usually disap-
pointed.
1t should be the aim of every
farmer 10 build up a trade center
as near his farm as possible
which would add greatly to the
value Of his possessions.
The mail order business is a
detriment TO the country and an
evil which win fail Of its own
weight, for sooner or later the
people viii learn that they can
buy their goods more s~atisfactol
rily from their local Dealers

The call for the twenty-third an
nual convention of the Minnesota State
Federation Of Labor to be held at
Bra1nerd ON June 18th is being issued
today. The secretary-treasurer is at
tempting to mail copy to every trade
union in Minnesota whether or not 1t
is AFFILIATED with the Federation. Ac-
cordin6 to the call each union is en-
titled to one delegate for each twenty
five members or major fraction there
Of. Delegate bodies, such az trades
assemblies and building trades coun-
ellis are each entitled to not more than
five delegates.
A faRa and one third rate has been
secured on the railroads OF the state.
This will give a. rate Of 3A.76 from Du-
luth to Brainerd and return, and should
insure a large attendance from the
Duluth unions. There ought to be 70
delegates from this oity.

agricultural state than it is industrial.
This fact makes the work Of organ
ization decidedly difficult in the small
ler cities. The farmers have been
taught to believe that the union labor
movement is detrimental to the inter-
est of the farmers. We do not know
where they got this impression, but we
do know that interruptions politicians
have done much Ito make them believe
that the organization Of the working
men, with eight hour demands and in
creased wages means high wages and
short hours for farm laborers.
This argument Must be met by the
convention. The farmers must be put
on the right trac4. Their attention
must be called to the shallowness Of
such opposition. Union labor. high
wages and shorter hours of labor are
not the cause Of the farmers trouble.
II their minds have been diverted from
the real reason for their difficulties,
they should be shown by labor that
they are in error. The interests of the
farmers and workingmen are so closely
allied. and the IA ct that they are d.
vided against each other only encour-
ages those who prey on both to pursue
their work of lplander more fiercely.
When farmers and laborers are united,
and when they thoroughly understand
each other, there will be little show for
the parasites whose present tactics
keep them apart. When orce union
labor gets this prejudice removed from
the minds Of the farmers there will be
such a campaign. Of organization in this
state as was never known before
Political Action Anticipated.
Another, and really. the most i'm
portant question to come before the
convention, will be that Of political ac>
ton. Efforts have been made for years
to have the Federation declare itself
politically, but ultra conservatism has
prevailed, and every effort in this d.
rection has met with defeat. There il
a strong sentiment growing that this
ultra conservatism has had it's day.
For ten years prganaxsd labor has
gone before the state legislature ask
ing for: legislation for the relief Of
labor, and for ten years It has met
with repeated defeat. Politicians have
made ante election statements, and
have pledged themselves to support
certain labor measures, but when II
