not misconstrue, as | am care
full to avoid miscitation. In
the beginning we will speak of
the producer and the consumer
which are of equal value each
to the other. Neither should
be repellent to the other. In
every case where there is a
producer, you will find the
consumer and often a half doz-
en- and in many cases where
the half dozen is found there is
no producer, therefore the con-
sumner outnumbers the pro-
ducers. In which case we have
before us results that would
naturally follow good prices
for what you sell and good
prices for what you buy. We
look. for the high market price
when we sell; for the low mark
ct price when we buy. When
you produce something and put
it on the home market in all it's
crudity, and after passing
through many hands while be-
ing made ready to wear. eat or
use on the farm or in the home,
it is brought back to you a
finished article that you will be
sure to need, because all we
have has been produced by
some one. But when you hear
what the price is, it is then
that you consult. your catolog
to compare prices-not goods;
and sorry to say. you too often
confide in a million dollar con-
Germ, whose source you know
not of. But after all, you don't
like the capitalist. Relative to
the dealer, l will say that I
have more respect for the one
that adds to his wealth than
the one that does not, and if
enough is added and he puts
forth branches and grows into
a huge capitalist. l say alright.
Furthermore if we prefer deal
ing with the so-called, [ sug-
gest that we give our home
mai the preference and see if
we can make a few nearer
home. We need more men at
home with more money than
they now have. That would
enable him to finance improve
ments that are necessary to
make our country what it
should be.
This is written for and to
whom it may concern. l take
a part for myself. Iwould like
to know that all the money we
spend was spent at home. Then
there would be some prospect
of getting at least some of it
back. Will some one please
give a satisfactory reason why
more of it is not kept at home?
It might be we'll to- state that
in some instances the farmer
thinks he is not getting a

the Tacoma shelter, making the third
 shipment so far this winter. Con sidering the fact that the company
 property is situated some distance
 from the railroad and the ore can only be transported to the railroad while
 there is sufficient snow for sledding. this is most remarkable showing. and reflects great credit upon the management for the efficient manner in which the property is being hand led under the difficult conditions of transportation. It also demonstrates beyond all doubt that the property is a most valuable one, and as soon as proper transportation facilities are available will become one of the greatest properties in the country.
