Night is carrying on an active warefare against the mammoth Departmental stores, in which many illustrations of the immense injurybeing done by them to the country at large are brought out. He shows that every line of trade is made to suffer, ' the carpenter who builds stores, the proper- ty holder who have shops to rent, the small trader, be he grocer or druggist, all have their octopus. Take a town like Exeter. If you pay the local merchant ten, dollars for anrovercoat, perhaps he pays it to the doctor for attendance,he to the druggist for drugs, he to the butcher for meat, he to the farmer for mutton, he to the laborer for digging a well, he to another, and, so. that ten dollar bill serves the purpose of trade in and around that town in definitely. Bet if you send it away to a departmental store for an over coat, that other overcoat lies on the local merchant's shelf, and that ten dollar bill may never again enter your community. , 1ecisonal mention Ed.
