I ■ f . .;: 4 v , $ / A 1 J ; ! * 3S I f There nhould havo been more peo ples ou t Im t Thursday to hea r the speech of Mr. I I. N . Ensign ■ a t the Fa rm e r's In stitu te on the “ Far eeh) Post” -. Mr. Ensign in an interesting talke r and Has n large fund of knowledge when iteoinea to explain* ■ing tho operation of different .bran ches of the government. One of tho speaker's im p o r ta n t ^ statements was that most of the 41 . commercial clnbuand similar organ- , izations ov >r the country are oppos- ■ ing this measure along with the 1U> .great, expi‘c,;~. companies in t h e ; United States. Mr. Ensign pro- , . duced figures'to show that our pres- j ent system of postal rates are unjust ; when compared with that of other ; countries. , j Whilo Mr. Ensign may he com cl j as to the action of the various com - j mercial bodies in opposing that measure, we do not know but that it is ju st and proper and th a t the ac tion is well taken, Y/o do no t want to be listed as against the measuro on the whole bu t must be recorded against thaf p a rt th a t will directly benefit the large mail order houses of Chicago, New York and elsewhere, tluiC. are are eating the very life out of the commercial business of today. Il tilers is some sort of protection granted the local merchants ngamsf the great mail order houses then we should favor parcel’s' post, but not on the order as it lias been proposed. The proposed measuro wouid. if • passed and made a law, nut a large percent of energetic merchants oui of business, in favor of a class tha1 instead of benefittnig the country is the g reatest curse the business- world knows. The small merchant is deserving of an honest living and not one is there th a t would earn the name ol ‘ being square should they sell tin small class of goods for tho saim price of tiie catalogue house. Tin local dealers know when they sell an article th a t it must be as repr - sented or the money will be returned ’With the mail-order fellow, tin money is secured first and goods known as "seconds” are sent, there seldom being a provision of a. sails factory transaction. Some month* ago the writer had an occasion U talk to a m anufacturer of a stand ard line of goods. During the con versation the mail, order subject came up and it was learnod th a t tht linn sold several thousands of dol lars worth of goods each year to tht various catalogne houses. One a r ticle pu t ou t by this manufacturer sold for fifty cents in all stores handling first-class goods. Wo re marked th a t the same article had been advertised in a certain medium by a mail order house for 30 cents. The m anufacturer explained that ju st the month previous he had shipped th is firm $1000 worth ot in ferior goods, p a rt of which would not stand tho factory test, p a rt of which had been returned by dealers as not being perfect. He explained tiia t the company could not loose such an amount and they always find a ready m arket for "seconds’’, among the catalogue houses.. The margin of profit to tho catalogue house was the greatest on an infer ior article. Thus, wosee how, impossible i t is for local dealers to meet the eonipc- litiou with the catalogue house. One selling a first class article with lguaran tee, while the mail order purchaser very often-gets an article th a t has been refused in some first class store. The small merchant sees the inev itable by the passage of tho parcels p ist and of course is out to defend himself. W ith the?mail-order house eliminated, we venture to say that ; Mr. Ensign will find the comnier- c.al clubs and similar organizations j favoring the lull. Mr. Ensign also touched upon the postal deficit of which we will havo something to say later. I ! Christmas Cantata Friday Night. HOLIDAY GIFTS!
