Is There a Great Common
Danger?

OaHgerI
By II. g. Kruse, Editor Benton County
Times, Yinton, Iowa.
More and more plainly the
fact dawns upon our mind that
the system of centralized dis
tribution now gaining strong
hold on the people is a menace
to the institutions of our common
country and a system fraught
with danger to our very Liberties.
We have seen a light; we have
been converted. Heretofore we
have looked upon the great cat
alogue houses as agencies fill
ing certain want; but that
theory will not stand an impair
tial and intelligent investigation.
Suppose this idea is CARRIED out
to the limit and that the cata-
logue concerns absorb all the
business of the country. What

much. The selling of everything
will be only one function OF th'
great centralized system Of dis

buying of everything, and wit
the selling of all articles o
commerce in the hands OF tn
few and the buying of all pro
