THIS DISCOVERY WAS MADE
BY THE INSURGENTS.

Competition protects the purl
chaser, for when a number of in
dependent producers stand ready
to supply him with what he needs
he can choose between them and
buy from the one who offers the
best product at the lowest price.
He is also protected in quality,
because those who copete for the
opportunity to sell to him must
show either advantage in price
or advantage in quality
Competition protects the man who
produces raw material, for when
there are a number Of bidders for
that which is being sold he can ac-
cept the highest price offered.
Competition also helps the wage
Garner, for his kill is the pro-
duct which he offers upon the
market, and where a number Of in
dependent industries are endeav-
oring to secure the highest skill
the skilled laborer has the best as
surance Of obtaining a fair re-
compense; when there is but one
employer the employee must take
the price offered, because he will
lose the advantage Of his expert
ence if he must go out to find a
different kind of employment

The first bill introduced in Con-
gress for a Federal building was
by Hon. w. T. Crawford and
right there is where the agita-
ton began. Yet John Ct. Grant
comes along and claims credit for
an appropriation for this purpose,
which has not in reality been
made. Until recent years Hender-
sonville had not attained the size
to warrant a Federal building
and with Crawford in Congress
last year, cooperating with Con-
gresham Thomas and the others,
there would have been "some-
thing DOING all around.
