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.
lions are made suffer accordingly.
Figures ever tell better story than
words. Here are figures which tell
story so stupendous that its full sig
nificance cannot be grasped in 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
$S0,000,000. In the year 1904 these
same concerns did business of about
e62,000,000, a gain Of $18,000,000 or
nearly 30 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-

THE JAMAICA DISASTER.

Rear Admiral Davis mission Of

an abrupt and painful conclusion In
consequence Of Gov. Swettenham's OBJ
lection to the presence Of American
sailors engaged in the work Of clear
ing the streets. guarding property and
succoring the wounded and sick. cul-
minating in a sarcastic and insulting
letter to the admiral peremptorily re-
questing him to reembark all parties
which had been landed. Admiral
Davis promptly sailed away with his
three vessels.
American refugees from Kingston
arrived In New York and issued for
NAL complaint against certain British
officials in Jamaica and especially
Capt. Parsons, of the steamer Port
Kingston, which was chartered for Sir
Alfred Jones and party. The captain
is accused of driving refugees from his
vessel, refusing them food. forcing
them, including women and injured,
to sleep on the docks and behaving
generally in an inhuman and uncivil
manner. Gen. Whit at Havana, on re-
quest of the British consul there. sent

Admiral Davis.
The president has assured Esme

more very severe shocks terrified ia

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 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 81, 000, 900. and probably more.
for q 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 1t is playing in this direction
will be understood from a second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
It is due to himself that every patron
of the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out
come is to be II the mail order bust
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked its prog
ress during the last half decade.
It Is useless to repeat the well worn
argument of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants In
the regular channels of trade to leave
their customers more money than
ever to devore to home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy of this
statement has been proved over and
over again by actual and minute COM
PARSONS of goods. as to their quality
and prices. re refute It finally and
indisputably by simpler and more
direct method Il Is necessary only to
ask the reliable business men of any
of the smaller communities to show
the evidence from their books and ac-
counts of the harm the mail order
habit II doing their communities.
It Is a truth az old as the hills and
rs certain as the rising and setting of
the sun that no country or section of
= country can prosper unless the poo

p,e m a whole shall DO prosperous.
such general prosperity as may exist
cannot be retained II the institutions
of the already larger and weaitnier
communities are to continue to Dc
built up by contributions that should
be spent at home from the thousands
OF smaller communities.
The need of the country, 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 cenfers
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.
In large number Of instances ne is
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 az
regularly received as the home papef.
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.

1t is not easy to forecastthe
great movements of mankind.
We have the recorded facts of the
migration. invasions. cXpulsions
and amalgamations of great masses
of mankind, but the motives that
prompted and inspired them are
but little more certain than brale
guesses. 1t is difficult to read the
future. Judging the future by the
past, such of it as we understand
as there were great movements
of men in the past, so will there
be in the future. If we make a
brave guess about future great
movements, and by chance guess
right, then we are profits but it
is well to Judge both past and fu-
ture in the liget of tee present.
How often we see a great preasent
movement with well-delined nc
tive at the start end with the mo-
tive so greatly modified as to be
an entirely different one. Take
the great civil war in the United
States. All along the great quarrel
that led up to it, the chntention of
the ultimate secessionists was for
the aight to carry slavery into new
territory. When they began to
realize how difficult it would de to
hold even the territory they then
had, they gradually took up the
contention for the right of a State
to withdraw faom the Union. On
the part of the United States Gov
eminent, the contention at first
was the mere maintenance Of the
Union; but how different at the
conclusion.
Now that the Union has been
maintained so far as land boun-
daries are concerned and CONNER
cial relations have been knitted
into a homogeneous whole, the
North has abandoned all interest
in the welfare of the Negro,
hundred and eighty thousand Of
whom helped to win the victory
and the south has successfully
cramPed him back into his 'snte-
bellum condition politically and
socially, and still call themselves
'Confederates" and the North
who a few years ago ref[ered to
them ) Rebels" now with rever-
cnt. IN covered head, refers to them
as "Con federates,' and the Negro
as damn ed 'niggers."
On this basis am going to
make a brave guess, and possibly
prophesy. In the eX-slave States
there are now abour nine millions
of Negroes. They are so treated.
and long have been by their white
neighbors, that hatred between
the blacks and whites is constantly
near the point ofeXplosion. The
whites are compactly organized
and have carried their provocaton
to a point where they dare not re-
lax teeir vigilance. The blacks
too have leorned much and arc
learning. They too have.their Sc
cret organizations all through the
"black belt" Each succeeding
generation of Negroes is harder to
whip than its. predecessor. Even
during the Civil War the ignorant
slavea had surprising knowledge
of the military situation. So far
as | could see they knew it as well
as did the whites who reaed the
papers. How they acquired that
knowledge was a mystery to me,
for their white masters did not IN
