INsIDIoUs MAIL ORDER TRUST.
Big Houses Combining and Spreading
Over the Country.


So silently and insidiously that the
great public Is as yet almost unaware
of it's presence, a new trust is ex-
tending its tentacles out over the
country. It Is the mail order trust.
Already its strangling grip is tight
ening about the million small towns
and country merchants, who are the
backbone Of the national prosperity.
The mail order trust has capital
ICED women and child labor. 1t has
capitalized prison labor. 1t has cap
italized misfortune. 1t has capital
ICED vice. 1t has turned all these
things into dollars-dollars which
should have found their way into the
tills Of the country merchants, in
stead Of flowing into the trusts Wall
street board.
One mail order house recently in
creased its capital stock from $780,
900 to $40,000,000. A new 100000
900 merger of mail order houses has
been formed. Wall street flnanciers,
including the Morgan banking flrm
has had charge Of both these finan-
cial operations. Still another mail
order house, with SO acres Of floor
space. made a net profit Of $4,000
900 last year.
1t is evident the greedy eyes Of the
great mail order financiers are turned
upon the entire retail business of the
United States outside Of the great
cities. It is also plain that a gigantic
trust Is rapidly forming. The small

retail merchant is facing ruin. That
the grip of the octopus is already be-
Ing felt, is shown by the population
statistics. Nearly 1000 small towns
lost population in the census Of 1910.
It is declared that something must
be done by immediate legislation, OF
the parcel post will not be the COM
plete blessing It ought to be. It is
asserted the solution Of the problem
will be in the form Of a heavy tax
on mail order business. This tax
would, 1t Is contended, tend to stop
the expansion of the mail business,
and to reduce its present formidable
size. The money thus collected
would be spent for road building or
other local improvements in the dis
tricts which contributed to the mail
order houses.
The small retail merchant is the
prop of distributed prosperity, and
the growth Of the mail order trust
serves no common good. Here Is q
principle which works out: 'Tf you
spend your money where you get 1t,
you will be able to get 1t where you
spend It."
Through systematic advertising
campaign, the mail order capitalists
have sought to poison the public
mind against the small merchant
The people have been told that there
are too many merchants and that
their retail methods are wasteful
and costly. But would point out
the other side of the question.
The Chicago vice investigation
showed that $4,000 women employees
of mail order houses are existing on
starvation wages. many Of them being
driven by poverty to live lives Of
shame. The mail order houses are
the great distributors of prison-made
goods. They are the exploiters Of
misfortune, buying much Of their
goods at bankrupt's sale.
But who takes an interest in local
affairs and has a hand In the up
building of the communities? Whose
goods are assessed for the taxes to pay
for local improvement? Who, when
the crops have failed or the strike
Is on. and there Is no cash to send
away, extends the credit which, en-
ables the community to live2 The To-
cal merchant and not the Wall street
owned mail order house.
