PROTECTION FOR COUNTRY MER.
CHANTS.

The average country merchant works
under trying conditions. He extends
credit freely, CARRYING customers Tor
weeks. When some OF the same Gus
mers are able to pay cash they buy, not
from the merchant who has carried
them, but from a mail-order house,
which is sometimes able to undersell the
merchant precisely because it gives no.
body credit. About the time the mer-
chant has built up really profitable
trade somebody is pretty sure to open a
rival shop across the street. Sometimes
wholesale houses that the merchant has
patronized will cheerfuly supply the
rival shop with a stock of goods, al
though its chief asset may be a pious
hope Of taking away part of the older
shops trade. Such conditions would
tend to make anybody nervous; and it is
not strange that many country mer-
chants oppose a parcels-post in the fear
that it will give an additional advan-
tage to the mail-order houses.
Probably the multiplication of rival
shops Is greater menace to the retail
trade than the mail-order houses are.
The Comptroller of the Currency will
no longer permit the organization of
new national bank whose principal OBJ
ject seems merely to be taking business
away from banks already established.
A license will not be issued for a new
bank unless 1t appears there is some
reasonable need of additional banking
facilities in that locality. Multiplied
ton of competitive banks is sure to
weaken the whole banking position.
Two strong banks can serve a commun-
ity better than four weak ones. So can
two strong retail stores, if people only
realize it.
In the present state of the retail
trade no such salutary control over mere
wasteful competition is possible; but
one can imagine a degree of organiza-
ton by which it might be achieved.
The country town is very important
to the farmer and should be able to
count upon his support; but sentiment
plays little part in buying goods and if
parcels-post will really get city goods to
the farmer cheaper than he can buy
them at home he will proably favor that
measure.
There must be somewhat better pro-
lection for the country retail trade than
simple reliance upon high express rates.

THE MACHINE BUILDER RESUMES.

Machine Builder Austin L. Crothers,
is slowly, but surely making his last
move in machine building. He seized
the Roads Commission first. By switch
ing Herring from the Board of Public
Works he got control of that Board and
of the Public Service Commission, thus
killing two birds with one stone. Hav-
ing thus fastened his clutches on the
Roads Commission, the Board of Public
Works and Public Service Commission,
there still remained the Police Board of
Baltimore as the one powerful agency
beyond his control He tried to get
this without making too much noise but
the Police Board was not pliable and it
refused to move Farnan and substitute
a Crothers man. Since they wouldn't
Oblige him, the machine builder decided
to get control anyway and the only way
to do it was to get rid of them. He
now makes pretense, after months of
procrastination, of giving them trial.
The verdict was decided upon long ago,
but appearances must be kept up! In
due time he will have his clutches on
the Police Board and will then have all
the most powerful political boards under
his thumb. His scheming is potent to
all observers. The one question in
eyerybody's mind is: what good can all
this do Austin l.. Crothers?l His meas
ura has been taken, he was been found
wanting. If ne means to be a candidate
in the primaries with newly created
machine of his own otiice-holders, can
be VIM It isn't at all HkelE.

effect that the Democratic:majority of
the next House will, in case it is given
the opportunity, tack on the reciprocity
bill revision of certain of the Payne
tariff schedules. Once begun, there is
no telling where the business Ofrevising
the existing schedules will end. The
potential uncertainties of an extra ses-
sion, assuredly constitute what ought
to be a determining reason why the
Senate of the Congress that is about to
end should shoulder the responsibility
which is fairly placed upon it and pass
upon the reciprocity agreement. 1t is
a responsibility that should not be dodg-
ed, and it is reasonable. therefore, to
assume that there is more than a
possibility that the Canadian Recipro-
city bill will have been enacted and
sent to the President for his signature
when the present Congress shall have
finished its work.
The passage in the House on Satur-
day of the bill appropriating $4,000, 900
for the fertilization of the Panama
Canal settles with practical certainty
the question of fortifving the waterway.
Sentiment in the Senate is known to be
stronger in favoring the proposal than
in the House. 1t was demonstrated last
week that measures which to all appear
ances may be dangling in uncertainty
for weeks can be quickly disposed of
when Congress gets tensely in earnest
about doing things. Several of the i'm
portant measures this session which are
yet dangling may be enactments before
Saturday noon. The Gallinger bill,
which provides mail-subvention meth
cd for extending government aid to
American shipping lines engaging in
South American trade, yet pass the
House, just as the reciprocity agree
ment has something more than a fight
ing chance in the Senate The final
doings of the Sixty-frst Congress may
be-probably will be-of large signif-
canoe.

DON'T MOPE-HUSTLE.

When a man is Cup against it" he
had better not sit down and brood over
the fact. A lot of energy and time is
wasted in doing this. Many good man,
successful, has been "all in" at some
stage of his career, but bypulling him
self together and avoiding the mistakes
that got him in the hole, has come out
on top. 1t VIII be fonnd that in the
majority of cases the trouble with the
unfortunate man. is that he has allow
ed his business, his profession or his
work to master him instead of his mas
tering it. There is nothing to be gain
ed by allowing oneself to imagine that
the world is all wrong and that every
body in it is on the lookout to do"
everybody else. the world is all right
and will treat every man right if he
does his part. Don't NOPE, then. Shake
hands with the world make it your
friend and merit the best it gives, re-
membering, however, that it only awards
it's prizes to those who labor in earnest
to obtain them.
