Economy In Home Trade

In an address made some years ago
before congress the late Thomas B..
Reed said: Which is it better for
the farmer to do-send his supplies a
thousand miles to the seacoast, 5000
miles across the water and sell it to
the mechanic who gets less wages, or
sell it right here at home to the me-
chanic who gets more wages?" Reeds
logic is sound, but he might have gone
little further, and shown the farmer
how importaTA it is to have the home
market right at his door; how by the
building up OF the commercial and
manufacturing Importance of HE
home town, he widens the market for
his products, and that the Nvelier
and better the home place can be
made. the better will be the prices he
will receive for his products
