KARLH BULL Editor ■ca-aait ,-g» Entered a t the PoBt-Office, Cedar- ‘ville, October 31, 1887, as second class m atter, FRIDAY , MARCH 30, 1917 BIGINTERESTS SWAY OPINION Residents of Small Communi­ ties Main Sufferers, MAIL ORDERS PERNICIOUS A<ie Chicago Concern Did $100,000,000 ’ Worth of Business In Y ear Ju st Closed .and Paid 17 Per Cent D ivi­ dend ~ Small Consumers Should Unite. [Copyrighted, 19)4, by Thomas 3. Sullivan.] Commerce bus made all winds her messengers, all climes ber tributaries, till people ber servants. A Statesman may do much for com­ merce—jiioat by leaving it alone. A river never flows ecysmoothly us when it follows’ its own coarse without either aid or check. Let it make its own bed: it will do so better than you can. Perfect freedom Is as necessary to the health and vigor of commerce as it is to the health and vigor of citi­ zenship. — For years the men who sway the minds and mold the opinions of the public—the magazine- and newspaper ■writers and political leaders—have with all the power and invective at their command pointed out the ne­ farious practice of what they termed “big business” and “the Interests.” These titles were bestowed upon them simply to designate theifi as concerns which combined their capital for the purpose of illegally controlling either one industry or another. .Writers Should Look Further, No .man will dispute the fact that residents of small prosperous com­ munities wljlere a general business Is carried on do not enjoy pronounced advantages over the people living In cities where the population Is con­ gested: . „ But the publicists , who are bolding the “big interests” nfc> to the scorn of human mind should look further, as there Is n new “big interest*' appearing upon the financial, horizojn which threatens to eclipse anything which has yet appeared. TVe refer ta, the catalogue and mail order retail traders- As an example we will take one of the large mail order bouses of Chicago, and a little meditation will show what its business means to the smalt town. It is capitalized at' the enormous amount of $50,000,000. sold a t $100 pel share; $10,000,000 is.preferred stock, and $40,000,000 is common stock. Paid 17 Per Cent Dividend. We are credibly informed that this concern did $100,000,000 worth of busi­ ness in the ’year 1013 and .paid a divi­ dend of 17 per cept Wouldn’t tliese .figures appall you? Ought that not to be material for the pen of the “muck- raker,” or are the magazines silenced by the counting receipts for advertis­ ing? “Where did this $100,000,000 come from? It came from the consumer everywhere betweeri the waters of the Atlantic and the shores of the Pacific, from people who prefer buying, “cheap goods” from a picture book rather than good goods over the counters of their retail merchants. And what return does the big cor­ poration give the local town for the money that it takes out of it? None. It delivers the cheap goods, and that is all. * Cash Controls Shipments, I t sells only for cash. If money does not accompany the order the goods are not shipped. Your financial reverses, sickness or other misfortunes do not concern It . Mail order bouses are merely leaches in the side of in .ustrial humanity. They drain the s nail community of its dollars, and. v enkened by tbe loss of Its financial strength, tbe local town totters and falls a victim of tbo greed of the “new big business.” Many persons lose sight of the fact that a business enterprise is not neces­ sarily an octopus simply because it is engaged in wbat is sneerlngly called by many “big business” or because it employs a large amount of capital. A mammoth corporation may be conduct­ ed on as correct business principles and can be-ns regardful of the rights of competitors and the general pnbile as Is the humblest establishment own­ ed and conducted by an Individual. It Is tbe motive that inspires the manage­ ment In each case and the methods adopted In carrying out tbo controlling policy that determine the morality or immorality, the right or wrong, the justice or Injustice, of its claims to public confidence and support, Should Udlto A gainst Evil, But the cnee Is not a hopeless one. Let the business and professional men —the merchants, lawyers, doctors, teachers, preachers, farmers and labor­ ers—join In spreading nbroad tbe evan­ gel of ethics in business, fair dealing and rational co-operation, and great progress can and will be made toward the settlement of the vexing questions that now confront the business world. TM evil which Is bound To follow IB the wake of the “new big business" ought to furnish food for thought and cause the heedless mall order buyer to pause and consider before again of­ fending, Patoir. carpenters will receive M cents an hour after May 1.
