TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY 1T is THE
BEST POLICY.
sELF-lNTEREST A BIG FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
- a. Whole Benefits Each Indi-
vidual-The "Why and
Wherefore"

As self-interest is the law which gov
erns the transactions of trade. 1t is the
first light In which the subject of
Trading at Home" must be 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 is detrimental to the
financial welfare OF the community.
1t Is In this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a COM
munity. Money which should be kept
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-
dunn of trar sfer among local mer-
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion of money
is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby; 1t extends eventu-
ally to every member of the CON-
munity. 1t is curtailment OF business
which affects the value of all property
even to the labor Of the man who is
dependent on days work for his liv-
ina. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home in a degree
which more than offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
tina purchase.
Every dollar sent out of any COM
munity for goods which can be pur-
chased at home represents a percent

age of injustice to the community it.
| loses the profit on sale. Not only
that. but the price of the article rep
resents SO much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
| up means that the operations of the
merchant are curtailed to that extent.
He has that much less to spend; that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage Of the
butcher. the baker and the other pur-
veyors OF the necessities of life; to in
vest in property. in newspaper adver-
Using; to deposit in bank where it
i 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.
1t 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 it 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-
ton in trade
Accordingly. 1t is to the interest OF
every member of community to con-
fine his expenditures as nearly as pos
sible 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 a community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and II the money 10 not divert
ed, it revolves constantly In the finan-
c.al circle of the community, earning
profit for everyone who handles 1t
and turns 1t over.
Accordingly. the money spent at
home is bearing compound interest for
the community Its effect is apparent
even to the outsider. Spending money
at home is species of loyalty which
makes materially for the progress OF

IL had been closed for the greater part
of that time.
John Carney had remained at Car

either him or Bobbs at varying inter-

and the only way l had OF addressing

Miss Weston's health improved suf-
ficiently to permit her travelling, and
she continued to reside with Miss Car

vised her to do. Later they travelled
considerably abroad, and finally settled
down for protracted stay at little
village on the Mediterranean coast. in
the hope of benefiting the health of
Miss Weston, who, as afterward
learned, was suffering from consump-
ton.

every community to rsin,est the
money 1t produces in the community
which produces it.
The chance of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tised at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description of the adver-
saved on the price of an article SO
bought is usually sacrificed In the
quality of the article. Buying from the
mail order house is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
home merchant without examining
the goods, but will often send his
money to a mail order house with
blind faith that the article will prove
to be as represented. How often this
faith is misplaced can be proven only
by comparing the goods bought from
mail order houses with the goods Of
fered for sale at home. II the mail
order buyer would follow this system
for a little while, he would probably
find that the goods offered at home are
Of better quality and as good bar gains
as the mail order goods, taking quail
ity into consideration. If this pre-
sumption is true. the buyer of mail or.
der goods Is a distinct loser. as he has
secured Inferior goods and has robbed
the community in which he lives, .
well as himself. of the use OF the
money. F. r. SINGLETON.

the community. II the community Is
composed of the sort of people who
spend their money at home 1t adj
vances rapidly. There is money for
public improvements, money for new
enterprises. The money which the
loyal man makes at home is invested
at home; the city grows. the streets
are improved and the marks of pros
perity and progress are evident on
every side.
We are won't to inveigh against the
wealthy man who makes his money in
one town and invests it in another.
TO the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
injustice by his failure to put his
money In home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
perity of our city. The criticism Is
justified and 1t holds just as good in a
lesser degree to the man who trades
out of town. 1t is the same offense
on smaller scale.
The effect of theSzeyerse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has in
mind q notable instance. Two cities
of about $4,000 population each are
situated on opposite sides Of river
which is boundary between two
states. Each contains several million
aires who made their money in the
lumber trade in tho two towns. The
millionaires of one OF the cities are
putting their money into other indus
tries in the same town as the lumber
ing goes out. AS result, the town is
rapidly forging to the front: every one
is prosperous. the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is valu-
able and every one is working. The
millionaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishing for lack of money !;
new industries cannot start because of
lack of capital; merchants are fail.
ing: stores and houses are being va.
Gated; people are moving away and a

amples OF the value Of money spent at

RHONE HEARD FROM
Against the Roads in Her Fight
for Freight Rates.

AT noon today Secretary Aupperle
of the Chamber of Commerce. re-
ceived a letter from Henry Il. Rhone,
of the committee sent TO Denver by
the Chamber of Commerce to present
the matter of freight rates to the
member of the interstate commerce
commission. who is sitting in Denver
now, hearing complaints against var
ious railroads.
Mr.. Rhone says that the attorney,
Shwayder, who made the stipulation
with the attorneys of the roads of
Colorado that there should be moth
ing doing, with any complaints from
western Colorado. so long as the
case of Baer Brothers, of Leadville
VS.. the d. e r. G. was undecided in
the supreme court, was doing moth
ing more or less than endeavoring
to put us in box.
Here is the language of Mr.. Rhone;
"This morning l called the matter
to the attention of the court and got
It in the records that Grand June
tion had nothing to do with that case,
contributing nothing toward its pre-
sentation and did not propose to be
bound by the stipulation.

neys for the Rio Grande that we
would not be bound and also the rul-

in hole-but we are out now.
"The case is very interesting and
shows that Grand junction has a
