changed a lot it will be in the fu-
ture. If the farmers could devote as
much time to securing their hired
man. in the store, as they can to Sc
curing hired men for their farms, and
could supervise his work as contin-
ually and effectively, they would sue
coed in getting satisfactory results;
but there is not enough in it to make
it pay to lose time from the farm
to devote to the store.
The TIMES clearly recognizes the
abstract right of farmers or workmen
to band themselves together for the
purpose of conducting mercantile es-
tablishments. The wisdom of their
doing so is equally a matter for them
to decide But it ventures to suggest
again that in the long run the danger
will be found to be to the stockhold-
ers, whom the Manufacturer seems to
think will be especially benefited. BY
the way the country merchant has
not found the big mail order houses
more fatalistic to its interests than to
the interests of those who perpetually
buy Of such concerns. And in saying
this we have in mind solely the inter
ests of the patrons of such mail or
der houses, as purchasers, without
considering the obvious advantages to
the community OF keeping the money
