THE TEN TRADE COMMANDMENTS

The Mercantile Monthly gives these
commandments
FIRST-Thou shalt not do any
trading away from thy home town.
Secondly-Thou shalt patronlze thy
home merchant, for thy home printer
doth spread far and wide the story Of
the goodness and the greatness Of
thine place of habitation, and in
mutual trading shalt thee find the
profit to thy desire
ThirdIy-Thou shalt employ thy
home people, and they shall not be
driven from their homes to find
bread for their little ones
Fourthly-Thou shalt not ask for
long credit, as goods cost much
and the merchants brain is burden
ed with bills.
Fifthly-Thou shalt not ask for re-
duced prices on thine Influence"
for guilt is in thine heart and the
merchant readeth it like an open
book. He laugheth thee to scorn and
shouteth to his clerks "Ha! Ha"
Sixthly-Thou shalt do whatever
lieth in thy power to encourage and
promote the welfare of thine own
town and thine own people.
Seventhly-Thou shalt beware of
enticement and if other cities coax
thee, consent thou not for thou
mayest be deceived.
Eighthly-Thou shalt spend thy
earnings at home, that they mayest
return from whence they came and
again give nourishment to thee and
! those who come after thee.
Ninthly- Thou shalt not bear false
witness against the city wherein thou
dwelleth, but shall speak we'll of il
to all men.
Tenthly-Thou shalt keep these
commandments and teach them to
thy children to the third and fourth
| generations.

THE wIRz MONUMENT.
EDITOR Times-Recorder

Editor Times-Recorder
Mrs A. b. Hull; chairman of the
committee of arrangements for un-
yelling the monument, said: Eve
place the monument on land offered
us in Andersonville. Thus it will be
on Georgia soil. not near any place
that could be construed into an act
of retaliation or aggression. For,
friends, we are not building this
monument in spirit of animosity to
any one, but simply to commemorate
a man whose life, we feel, was sacri-
feed for us, and who has been much
maligned and much misrepresented .
This is a fair statement of why
this monument is to be erected and
no fair-minded man can object to it;
nor offer any good reason why the
monument should not be erected at
Andersonville, where Capt. Wirz did
his best and most faithful service
where he committed the alleged crime
for which he was hanged, where he
lived, the only home he had when the
war closed, and where he was ar
rested, gave up his life, for he did
not try to runaway. Now. must we
go back on our record for doing the
right thing and fear to put this mon.
ument where it will truly commence
rate and vindicate Capt Wirz There
is nothing to fear
1t Will be on our own land and or
our own side of the railroad If oul
friends from the North do not like
it they need not look at it, bui
they can ignore it as we do some
things in the stockade and the GENE

Andersonville do not want it, The

| the people from the north, and nt
children can see it here To tbs
first 1 answer most emphatically, We
do want it. Second, if Americas will
| furnish a veil we viii cover the

duce the railroad to give reduced
rates for children to visit Anderson

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

trail west TO the White House at Wash
lngton, is collecting a new army OF
the unemployed somewhere on the
Pacific coast and will lead them for
practice march to San Francisco.
Just what he will do with them then
Is not as yet disclosed.
This question Of the unemployed is
one that becomes important whenever
there is any lull in the business Of
the country. Ones sympathy natur.
ally goes out to the man who is really
seeking for work, but the experience
OF the past fifteen or twenty years In
this country shows that there are a
large number of men who on the least
pretext are willing to take up the line
of march and tramp anywhere, filch-
ing living out of their more thrifty
neighbors, many of whom are strug.
Cling with an intensity that cannot be
measured to gain for themselves and
their families livelihood and home
There Is warm place in the heart
of every true man for his less for
tunate neighbor who may be thrown
out Of work and is eagerly looking for
it, but for the man who is simply pos.
sessed of a spirit of wanderlust and
who does not recognize job of work
when 1t meets him on the street
there can be no pity. And 1t Is un
fortunately true that there is train
ed army of this sort Of men. They
are the hangers-on and camp followers
of the Industrial army, and they have
no love for work. They are the me1
who are always grumbling about
wages and doing the least to earn
them. They are the men who in the
natural order of things are the very
last to get employment in good times
and the very first to lose it wher
times are not as good.
The truth of the matter is that In
the central and newer west there is
still need of men to do things. 1t Is
true that wages are not as good as
they were in some places but there
is really an urgent demand for farm
laborers and there will be little pity
bestowed upon any healthy strong
man as long as real workmen are toe
prosperous to take farm employment
What is needed on the part Of hun
dreds of these men who float about
the country with no purpose and little
sense of self respect is higher sense
of what American manhood demands

WHY WE HAVE PANICS.

This is one of those questions for
which every man has an answer. In
regard to them it may be said that a
large number Of these simply show
what astonishingly large number Of
people know "a heap o. things that
amt So" Some of these opinions,
however, are worthy of consideration
and undoubtedly express the truth.
or a large share of it. The North
American Review in it's more recent
issue, has a series of articles on the
Financial Situation" by able finan-
ciers, whose views are entitled to
some weight
Summed up briefly these writer's
agree that the real cause of panics is
a desire to get rich quick. AS this
desire is more and more gratified by
large number, it grows by what it
feeds upon and at length becomes
frenzied finance without code Of hon
or or any rules of honesty. 1t is in
other words a mere speculative craze.
1t must be remembered that of the
wealth of the United States nearly
one third is represented by negoti-
able securities. The demands for
new capital which in 1908 was $1,s46,-
100000 had grown in 1907 to $780,
100000.
In addition to the rage of specula-
ton the great volume of securities
which are purely speculative with no
value that is substantial except as
they are held by moneyed institutions
as collateral, and one has little diff
ficulty in locating the cause of panics.
What the country needs is not only
currency reform but along with it
banking and stock dealing reform.
But in the face of existing conditions
there is no real reason why the de-
preston should be long continued AS
one of these writer's in the North Am
erican says, THE present panic found
us with our gamers rich, our exports
in excess of our imports to the extent
of over $435,OOO,OOO, our industries
not over stocked and our merchants
not greatly extended" Taking this
as basis there is every reason to
believe that business will soon revive
and be continued on a more substant-
ial and satisfactory basis than before.
In truth that revival has already be
gun in the west and Norfolk and Ne
braska people are prosperous and
have no reason to be otherwise than
optimistic.
