PatrOniZe the Home Printer.

The editor of the Weimer Mer-
curry states that a merchant of
his town.. Louterstein. upon be-
ing approached recently by a
solicitor for a city job printing
establishment, made the foreign
printing house drummer feel
ashamed of himself by telling
him, Il believe in having my
printing done at home. We have
a good Office here. the work is
perfectly satisfactory and I find
the prices very reasonable. The
more money l spend with my
home printer, the more money
he will have to spend with me.
Besides this, it enables him to
employ more help in his Office,
and the money paid to these en-
ployes will find its way into the
home channels of trade. If l
give you an order for printing,
it means just that much money
taken out of town. Even if you
give it a little cheaper than the
home printer I am compelled to
pay express charges on the work
which about evens up matters.
The home printer lives among
US, and helps to keep our insti-
buttons; he is my neighbor,
friend and patron, therefore l
propose to give him my printing
so long as I am in business"

our COUNTRY n YEARS AGO.
Two Generations Have Seen America
Rise from Primitive Rurality.

In 1881 the American people we're
free, but they held in their hands the
land-tools of slaves. They had to la
Dor and sweat in the fields with the
crude implements that had been pro-
duced by ages Of slavery. For two
generations the sickles, fails and
wooden plows with which they had
tried to build up a prosperous repub-
lie had held back agricultural progress.
Let us try to reconstruct mentally the
America of those days.
Enterprise a not then . national
characteristic. The few men who
dared to suggest improvements were
prosecuted as enemies Of society. The
first iron plows were said to poison
the soil. The first railroad was torn
up. The first sewing machine was
smashed. And the first man who
sold coal in Philadelphia was chased
from the state as . swindler.
Even the railway was a dangerous
toy. The telegraph was still . dream
in the brain of Morse. John Deere
had not invented his steel plow. nor
Howe his sewing machine. nor Hoe
his printing press. There no
stoves, nor matches nor oil lamps.
Petroleum was peddled as a medicine
at one dollar q bottle. Iron was SIS
q ton. Money was about as reliable
as mining stocks to-day; and all the
savings in all the banks would not
now buy the chickens in Iowa.
The total exports amounted to no
more than we paid last year for dia-
monds and champagne. Chicago was
a 12-family village. There was no
