TRADING AT HOME

Wherefore"

As self'interest Is the law which gov.
erns the transactions OF trade. 1t is the
first lisht In which the subject OF
TRADING at Home" must Le treated.
Sentiment has little influence In trade.
+ The prosperity OF any community
depends on the volume Of business
transacted within its borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount OF money In circulation and
any Influence which takes money out
Of community IL detrimental to the
financial welfare Of the community.

In local circulation goes to swell the
volume Of money In the distant city
Instead Of remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as- the me.
dium OF transfer among local mcr.
chats and their customers.
The effect OF this diversion of money
IL not confined to the merchants who

self In tho first place. some merchant
loses the profit ON sale. Not only
that. but the price of the article rep.
rcscnts so much Of the merchants cap.
itai which is tied mp In the article and
IL not working. Having capital tied
! up means that the operations OF the
merchant are curtailcd to that extent.
| He has that much less to spend: that
much ici,s to pay In salaries TO his
clerks: to pay In patronage OF the
butcher, the baker and the other pur.

| may be used by other members Of the
community. or to devote to church or
charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita OF circulation In the community:
factor which determines largely the
value Of all goods or property on the
market: the scale OF wages and the In
terest on loans.
It Is not hard to trace the effect OF
| the diversion OF money from Its legiti-
mate channels. When money is scarce
| trade languishes because OF the lack
OF circulating medium: merchants and
all others curtail expenses: the volume
| OF trade decreases and nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter of the circulating
medium. When the volume OF money
increases. trade moves and 1t moves
as fast as the volume Of money will
permit. Money that is working is con.
stantly producing profit to all: money
that is not working produces stagna.
tion In trade.
Accordingly. II is to the interest OF
every member of n community to con.
fine his expenditures as nearly as pos
siblc to the community in which he
lives. Every dollar he spends at home
helps to make his own holdings more
valuable because they are more salable.
when community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and II the money 10 not divert

Accordingly. the money spent at
home is bearing compound interest for
the community. Its effect Is apparent
even to the outsider. Spending money
al home is a species of loyalty which
makes materially for the progress OF

bly, six or eight times that required under
ordinary circumstances II the negative
