independent. The world is one of CO.
operation. The merchant for his live
lihOOd depends upon the labOrer,
whether he be farmer or artisan, and
the latter two are to an extent depend
emit on the merchant. The interests
of all are equal; their relations should
be most harmonious. Each one in his
particular sphere should take hearty
interest in the building up of the
home town.
We hear little of them because in
dealing with outside concerns there is
generally not much chance to get JUS
tice when swindled in what you buy.
The catalogue houses certainly are
not in business for their health, and
they must cut in quality when they
make prices that every dealer knows
are too low for profits. A travelling
man the other day told us Of an expe-
rience he had with large catalogue
house. He is travelling for an imple-
ment firm. He says that in taking an
order for barrel carts for farmers a
low price was demanded with the re-
mark: Put in any kind of old stock
you please. We sell to farmers and
they never kick on what they buy of
US. They're too far off, The result,
no doubt, was in turning out a lot of
carts With possibly pine aXleS ana sap
py wood, but all nicely painted to
catch the trade of unwise buyers.
An article which certain catalogue
house sells back to the farmer for 80
cents is made right here in Austin
and sold for 80 cents at good profit
to the manufacturer. One hundred
per cent would make the price only
60 centS.''

In the New England Grocer fol
A pril %, E. F. Hawley of the Farmers
Trading Co. writes as follows:
New Milford. Conn.,,
April IL, 1905.
Editor New England Grocer,
Boston Mass.
Gentlemen:-We enclose our check
for So to pay for your valuable paper
another year. We derive great deal
of valuable information every week,
and could not do without it.
l wish you would treat on the sub
ject of buying goods in your own town,
patronzing your own stores, ETC.
What is the cause of decadence of SO
many of our country towns? This
sending money to the mail order
houses of Chicago and other cities will
soon cause the shutting up of lots of
the smaller stores. It's penny wise
and pound foolish policy, as usually
the goods are seconds and the cheapest
made. Here with US it's the better
class that send their money out of
town. If they would patronize their
own town we should not have SO many
signs on our stores to rent. Please
write up something in your usual
forcible style, and think it might do
some good.
Yours truly,
E. F. Hawley,
Treas. The Farmers Trading Co.
In symposium on this subject fol-
lowing Mr. Hawley's article, the New
England Grocer brings out these
points: cit is ust such letters as the
above that enable us to make the New
England Grocer of value to it's readers.
We agree with our subscriber that
this mania for supposedly low price
goods resulting from the alluring offers
of catalogue houses is a great detri-
ment not only to the small trader but
also to the town in which his business
is located. What hurts him hurts the
town.
The financial power of the City
National bank of New York is more
than eleven billions of dollars, or more
than all the money deposited in the
savings banks of the country. This
one bank controls more than $50 other
banks. The conservative thinker can
see the danger in this great aggrega-
tion of capital being in the control of
a few men. Every dollar sent from
your community to the large cities
helps along the concentration of finan-
cial power.
Trusts are seldom built up in coun-
try towns, although the people of
agricultural sections unthinkingly
donate their dollars toward the up
building of combinations in large
cities, when they send money earned
at home to the distant city. Every
dollar sent away means more power
for the trusts, and enables spectators
to dictate prices for every product of
the workshop or the farm.
We should never be so short sighted
as to think that we may save money
by sending away for goods that we
might as well have bought at home.
1t is the business of the town that
gives it life. Take away the employ
ment of the workman, the shop keeper
or the merchant, and the town will
soon become dead place. When the
town disappears the schools deteri-
crate, farm values in the neighbor-
hood become lessened, and all this at
the exp ense of the community, and to
the bull ding up of some other place.

mention was made Of members who

extended to Sister Clark in her be-

corning Senators Hawley and Platt of
Connecticut. Many clippings were
read showing the great loss of state
and country in the passing away of
these honest men who were above
representatives of the righteousness Of
the fathers of New England. Espe-
cially was it said of Senator Platt,
though he was one of the wisest coun-
