Our Modus Operandi. .

We are content with “Small Profits.” We believe that “Quick Sales” result therfrom and enables us to replenish stock and receive another small profit. The merchant who follows this plan cannot fail of success, and at the same time give his patrons something nearer an equivalent for their money. Re - member “Nimble Sixpen e.”— ‘Small Profits and Quick Returns” kept in perpetual n otion does a power of trood all around—it dispenses its blessings alike upon the seller and the buyer. It is the sue - cessful plan of the) Chicago Bargain Store.

The cl airman of the Indiana Tariff Reform League, enumeratng the things which the friends of the Chinese system of an exclusive home market claim for a protective tariff, says: ‘ They point to our restored union and say protec tion did all this. They call attention to the natural development of our vast resources and tell us we owe it all to high taxes. They tell you tnat you are all prosperous and that you owe your prosperity to a ready home market at high price, and that protection gives you this wonderful home market They compare your condition in this sparsely setthd, new country, with that of the poorest peasant in old crowded Europa and tell you that all the difference is due to protection. These are only a few of the falsehoods they resort t . They do not tell you, howe.er, that protection has driven our flag from the ocean, that their grand institution has taken from the many and given to the few until the rapid growth of millionaires and paup era has become phenomjnal. They do not ted you farmers that you

have bought in a highlv protected market and sold m the open market of the world, until farming, which ought to make good return ou the money invested, is poorest paid of all industries; that under the magnificent system a large portion of the finest farming land in the Mississippi valley is plastered with mortgages given to securelloans made from residents of bleak and sterile Mew England. You are borrowing back the money the government has compelled you to donate m the form of a tax to these favored classes, and if you do not keep your interest paid, you will have to surrender your farm to them and become thei r tenants. I refer to these fac's to show you that you are interested in the work of tariff reform.
