HOME, SWEET HOME

Mid pleasures and palaces though it may roam,
The place to spend money is right here at home.
Development surely will follow it there
That never occurs when you send it elsewhere.
Home home, sweet, sweet home;
The place to spend money is right here at home.
An exile from home, you will murmur in vain,
ooh, give my old silver dollar aganr'
The smaller percentage that comes at your call
Is surely much better than losing it all.
Home home, sweet, sweet home;
The place to spend money ia right here at home.
Farewell thou promoter with promise of gain;
My old silver dollar at home shall remain.
The dollar the foolish send often to
Shall be used to increase the endearments of home
Home home, sweet, sweet home;
The place to spend money is right here at home.

On The Advantages of Free Ports

Mr.. F. c. Howe. Federal Commissioner OF 1mmigra-
tion who is one the best American authorities on
marine commerce in discussing the relation of free
ports the DEVELOPMENT of trade said in part:
"Ships will go hundreds of miles out of their way
to avoid ports surrounded by tariff wall The only
way therefore a country with tariff to compete
in the shipping world with free trade country is to
establish ports at strategcal points along its coast
line. Germany has done so and in comparatively
short period has built carrying trade which before
the war was seriously Threatening Engands supremacy
