Speaking OF the great improvements
In shipbuilding he suggested that in a

atod at Niagara and transmitted over

Strange as this forecast might be,
he said II was no more incredible

The world moved on In succession
of dreams and their fulfillment
Sir Hugh bell said that II was alb.

ambition, hence the contentment

their ambition, hence the contentment
that prevailed.
But in after years, when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con.
tent with conditions of trade, devised
plans by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being a cheap way of
putting the merits of their goods be.
fore the people, this plan appealed to
them and it was adopted At first they
operated on small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making it pay, he added TO his adver-
rsing fdnd. And SO 1t has continued
until to-day millions of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
a question uppermost in the minds of
country merchants for several years
past; some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home. In the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
own their own farms but that would
be interested in building up his own
LEGALITY. He realizes the fact that if
his farm is to be valuable it must be
farmod in the most scientific manner
and all buildings, fences, etc, must be
kept up in the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be To-
Gated not too far from some good
town, for we all know that farm land
brings a much better price when near
to some good town or village 1t is
not hard to get the farmer to realize
this, for if he ever sold any farm land
or Lrled to sell any, he knows this to
be a fact. Well, then, after he has
realized this fact, the thing for him
TO DO is to Eatronize his home mer-
chants and business men, so they may
be able to build and maintain a good
town.
Public schools are much better in
the towns than in the country for the
reason that where the population is
most dense, there is more taxable
property to the amount Of territory
covered, hence there is more money
collected for school purposes, and as
a result moro and better teachers are
employed. All this is Of the highest
importance TO the farmer, as most
farmers who are OF any Importance in
their profession are interested in CIV

Of the Country Towns--A
Menace to the
Nation.

copyrighted. 1906. by Alfred C. Clark)
AS the years so by we are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question of trading at home.
During the past decade the habit of
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions % years ago were
satisfactory. At that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were "monarchs of
all they surveyed" so to speak, in the
lines represented. and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
80 much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants.
but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops. generally. and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
want)d; and this was the height of

A Fish Story.

''Trout protection! Nonsense" said
o gunner of local eminence. Trout
aro amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their deprodatiors among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for
trou: to jump from the water, seize
duck by the neck. drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air, where
It can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out Of the jurisdiction Of the courts.
Arc there any fishermen? None? Too
bad This would be a match for one
OF their fish stories"

A Delay That Is Not Dangerous.

Another revulsiCn in business must

the advantages TO be gained by such
a reduction are seen plainly enough
by all the thoughtful men. Such an
interruption in industrial activity and
in what is called prosperity is unlike.
ly to take place until after 1908. Per.
haps it may be possible to conduct the
presidential campaign Of 1912 on the
tariff reform ssue."-Hartford Times.
There is in this, as it seems to us,
more than the average wisdom dis
played by Democratic newspapers
when dealing with the tariff question;
certainly far more astuteness than is
exhibited by Mr.. Cleveland in urging
that tariff reform" be made the para.
mount issue of the Democratic party
in 1908. Revulsion in business will
come soon after the Republican party
undertakes tariff revision downward.
Then will it be possible for the Demo-
Gratis TO conduct the presidential cam
paign on the tariff reform issue.
And with an excellent chance Of sue
cess, too. The Times is right. The
Democrats will fare better if they
stand back awhile and give the Re
publican party a chance to burn its
fingers with tariff reduction.
