They have borne the brunt of competition throughout the year, but just as the busy days approach the ‘country is flooded with’ cata- logues of eastern houses who invite you to send your. money away for jewelry,'drygoods and articles of all sorts for-the Christmas séason. A moment's thought will reveal: to the wage earner, and many who are not wage earners for that mat-,|} ter, the folly of such a step. The fundamental principle of labor in this country is good wages. tained throughout every avenue of |' employment, and clerks and ‘sales- people generally, not only receive a fair wage but their hours are num-| bered by a'unionism which enables them to know when their day’s toil will end. -In contrast to this are the poorly. paid,. overworked men, women and: children of the east, who stand behind the counters un- til their feet ache for_a paltry pit- |‘ tance not sufficient to previde for those dependent upon them’ the common comforts of life. It is this condition which enables the eastern dealer to-pay for his illustrated cat- alogue which induces you to send’ to him the margin that belongs to the'business meit of your own com- munity. He-does nothing for you'| or yours. He contributes in no way to the welfare of the city, pays no rent, no taxes, makes no dona- tions, is not called upon to join in a subscription list, and simply works to the one end of crippling your fel- low merchants and businessmen. The mechanic or artisan” would not, for one moment, tolerate the importation of labor to work beside’ him, at a cheaper scale, and yet he practically lends approval to the same principle when he encour- ages trade for a merchant 2000 miles away, ‘to the detriment of the merchant at home.
