Patronizinu Home PeonIe.

An exchange says that war has been
declared on the great catalogue
houses of Chicago and other cities
by the 500 retail merchants of the
west. In one of the most striking eco
nomic movements this country has
ever known the small dealers are
fighting, they say for their lives. The
mammoth institutions, employing
thousands of workers, doing their
business entirely through the medium
of their bulky catalogues, spending
no money in The communities whence
they derive annually millions Of dol
lars of patronage, are forcing in
creasing numbers of home merchants
to the wall and so their opponents
claim, are making commercial
graveyards Of once prosperous towns"

to get wise and trade at home.-Phil-

Amhinuous.

A Washington correspondent who
used to run newspaper in Iowa tells
how the heavy advertiser of the town
once entered the editorial Offices and,
with anger and disgust depicted in
every line of his face, exclaimed:
That's a fine break you people
have made in my ad. this week."

the indignant one.

advertiser, thrusting a copy of the pa

Individual VS.. Corporation.

A well-knoYn eastern financier, for
some time the president of a large
trust company, recently resigned, Civ
ing as his reason that a man, accord
ing to his belief, can do better work
for himself, and that no man can
really earn salary equal to what he
can make in business for himself. In
these days when all kinds of business
are being converged into corporations,
the number of trades in which a man
may engage in business for himself
have become SO few that for great
bulk of men, even those having the
mental equipment which in other
years would have been sufficient to
make them their own masters, there
is now no other opening than that of
service for some corporation. For
the bulk of the people, outside of
those in agricultural pursuits, it is
service for the corporation or no work
at all. This truth is becoming more
evident day by day. Even the farmers
are feeling the grasp of corporate
methods. 1t is true that millions must
have the products of his lands and his
hands, but the corporations are the
mediums he must work through, and
from him they exact their fittings. It
is to the interest of the farmer as
well as the laborer in every walk and
sphere, to prevent as far as possible
further encroachment of organized
capital, and this can be done by as
far as possible keeping the dollars
that you earn in circulation in the
community where earned, and thus
prevent the further concentration OF
money and of business in the great
cities.
