look the fact that he receives nothing

so much money value and certainly
the manufacturer does not lose by

The country newspaper is a power
in the land Its place can never be
filled by the big daily papers or the
bulky magazines or agricultural jour
nails. 1t fills field entirely it's own
It is the barometer of the place in
which it is published. It's news pages
represent the life of the people, and
it's advertising pages should reflect
the business activity of the town. 1t
is the duty Of every good citizen to
give his support to the local press.
Particularly the business men should
patronize it with view OF bettering
his trade. 1t Is not money wasted to
use advertising space in it. One good
merchant in the town who under
stands how to advertise rightly, can
bring trade to the town that will help
every other business man in it. But
all should do their part, and the store
keeper who does not give his home

WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL.
Operation OF Injurious Trusts Can Be
CurtaiIed by Efforts Of the
Masses.

An evil that at present is receiving
more than ordinary attention in the
press is the concentration of vast
amounts Of money in the hands OF
corporations The accumulation OF
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law. will inevitably become
divided The millionaire who has
family. at his death will apportion to
each member share of his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children, they
in return will divide the accumula-
tions among their offspring and even
tually. it matters not how great the
fortunes of any one OF the family
may become, II is only matter OF
time until there is a scattering of the
money. and a great portion OF it will
pass from the members OF the family.
On the other hand. corporation meth
DDS mean the building Of system
that prevents the operation of the
natural law. In other words corpora.
tionS are machines that work con-
tinuously. and when one part is brok-
-
the accumulation goes on. The death
of Rockefeller will not result in a
discontinuance of the Standard Oil
company: the death of the present
stockholders Of any OF the large trust
companies, banks or insurance COM
panies will make little difference In
their existence All will go ahead
The safeguards of corporations in
many cases are excellent But the
inclination to control trade by the
crushing out of smaller concerns and
the destruction of legitimate compe-
tition and the controlling OF prices,
seems against public policy. All
classes are compelled to pay prices
dictated by these trusts for the goods
produced. Each year finds new com
binations to control trade 1t is the
Capitalization of capital that makes
such operations possible The person
who assists in concentrating money in
large financial centers does his part
toward helping along such combines
IL is only by individual action on the
part of every small producer and lab
orer in the country that conditions
can be changed Stand by every home
industry and do your part toward
keeping money in circulation at home
and thus bring about conditions that
will make the operations of trusts and
combinations impossible

DIDN'T PURCHASE THE NINE.
Prospective Owners Knew Not Where
to Get Pack-Train Needed.

The secretary OF an eastern com
pany that some time ago was anxious
to purchase silver-lead mine in the
northwest tells of an amusing incident
in the negotiations for it's purchase.
AS the ore assayed well and every
thing looked propitious, a mining ex-
pert was sent to examine the mine.
His report was favorable, too favor
able, in fact, and aroused the sus-
picions of the would-be purchaser; so
1t was determined to investigate more
closely. At this point wellknown
mining man of Butte recommended
that a certain rough and-read genius
should be sent to look at the mine.
You can deepnd upon his judgment"
the mining man said. You can trust
to his report. which in all probability
will be brief and very much to the
point The advice was followed. AS
predicted, the report was short and
pithy 1t read substantially as fol
lows: Gents: l have made an exam
ination of the x mine, and report
that the ore is there as represented;
that 1t assays high; that it Is there in
plenty; but to get your supplies in
and your ore out, you will need a pack
train of bald eagles s"-Harper's
Weekly.
