Scientists are theorists in nine cases

MEN ACE TO ALL
Giant Mail Order Concerns
Are Sapping Country Of

SMALLER TOWNS CRUSHED
BY Assisting in the Capitalization
Of Wealth, Patrons Of These In
stitutions Contribute to Their
Own Injury.

Copyright, 1906, by Alfred c. Clarke
Every year millions upon millions of
dollars find their way from the towns,
villages and rural districts of the coun-
try to the Golfers Of the mail order
houses in the cities, and go to the up
building of enormous institutions in
the centers of population. Naturally,
the sources from which the contribu-
tons are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell a better story than
words. Here are. figures which tell
a story so stupendous that it's full sig
nit1cance cannot be grasped in a mo-
ment, but the mere sight of which are
awe inspiring:
In the year 1905 two mail order
houses, located in Chicago, did bust
ness amounting in round numbers to
$8O,O00,O00. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did a business of about
$62,000,000, a gain of $18,000,000 or
nearly 80 per cent. in single year be-
ing thus exhibited.
These figures represent the sale last
year of one dollars worth of merchan.
disc. for every man, woman and child
in the country by two catalogue houses
alone, and those operating from the
same central point. Dozens more of
varying size and importance are oper.

Such general prosperity as may exist

Of the already larger and weather.
communities are to continue to be
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
of smaller communities.
The need of the country, a desper-
ate need upon which the welfare of
the individual depends, is for the
upbuilding and continued progress of
the smaller communities, so that the
wealth of the country may be distrib-
uted over the entire country, and not
congested and controlled In large
amounts in comparative few centers
of population.
Therefore, the man who sends away
from his own community money which
he might have spent at home and per-
mitted a fair profit to the home mer-
chant to be retained there for the
benefit of the community, is injuring
his community, and thereby the pros
poets for his own future prosperity.

doing more than this. Unwittingly, or
unthinkingly, perhaps, he is violating
his own principles of right and<justice,
for, at the expense of his own COM
munity, he is needlessly contributing
profits to the capitalistic combinations
which he continuously cries out are
menacing the country.
The mail order giants direct their
energies particularly toward the peo-
| pie Of the smaller towns and the agri-
cultural districts. In hundreds of
thousands of the homes of these the
catalogue of the mail order house is as
regularly received as the home paper.
The man on the farm last year sent a
very large portion of eighty millions
of dollars to two of these institutions,
in one community, alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Admitting,
purely for the sake of the argument,
that the farmer or the resident of the
small community can save a few dol
! lars on some of his purchases, or even

that he could do so on all of them, can
he afford to continue to impoverish
his own community, upon which his
own prosperity, the very value of his
LAND depends?
If he will ask himself this question
and consider it soberly and fairly in
all of its phases, including the many
which cannot be touched upon within
the limits of single article, we think
his answer must be that he cannot.
The wonderful productivity of this
country has been sufficient to over
come the various adverse economic in
fuences which have existed during the
period of years in which the mail or
der business has accomplished it's
greatest growth. Everyone has been
"getting along pretty WELL" While the
increasing flow of golden millions from
their source in the land of the coun-
try to the already great centers of
money and population has held back
the growth of the smaller commune
ties, it has not yet occasioned a great
disaster. The test will come with the
first pinch of hard times" a condi-
ton which no country ever has been
able to escape at recurring intervals.
When this time arrives those COM
munities will best stand the test which
have best conserved and husbanded
their resources.

number Of millions which found
order houses. The smaller comm
were thus deprived of it, suffered
to coast and from border to border.
A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the mail order field, and
this does not. take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly. auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to; already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than $1,000,0 900, and probably more,
for a new home. The other lately has
secured a new location and also will
expend at least 100000 for an i'm
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
ly on the subject must become i'm
pressed that the influence of the mail
order business is toward the central
ization of wealth, and how enormous
part it is playing in this direction
will be understood from a second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.

of the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out.

statement has been proved over and

ask the reliable business men of any
of the smaller communities to show
