Starving to death, I said. Yes, he replied, starving to death, While he was speaRing we stopped in front of Schaus' stOre to take a. look in 1 the wfiitlow. The picture was a noble land- sCape, a.nd myself and f1·iend were deligh-ted, Let ns 'step in, I said, and see what they have inside.

Ten thousand dollars for 'that little picture, I exclaimed. Oh, that's nothing, said he, tliere are pictures iu those cases worth $25,000; yes, sir, and we s'ell them too. Here were ,'lchreyet·s and Mil- lai$, and Messoniers, add .Bouteliers, and the other sons of gilded art, w .tose call Vas•, li!(e diamond!>, is weighed by the carat.

It amuses me to hear ' some of· our mer- chants complain of peopltJ going out or town to do theh· holiday shoppmg. They damar loudly about supporting home industry and home merchants, and tell how people will go off to Rochestm· o.nd Buffalo, and pay more for the same article than it wo~~ have cost right at ho!pe- No doubt such is the case. Iu fact I kno\v of many such instances my- self, and I too believe strongly in protection to home industry so fal' as supporting yout· own merchants, your own mjl1s, your own schools, own churche•, and your own concerned.· * * ... But what amuses me eswcially is to !'flethe very fellows who complain the hardest, and who l!rugh the loudest over those who go awa.y from home and pay higher prices fot many thipgs, patronize every tramp adver· tising spap that comes along, and pay four times lll! much for it as if they patrunized their. own local papers and pritlt shops. Nine tenth of tl:tese tmveling advertising schemes positively worthl~ss, and yet I know of si>me merchants (not all by any means) who vat out four times as much for these worth· less snaps represented by irresponsible trmps from Buifalo, Rochester or somewhere else as they pay their OW!l home. papers for legit· imRte advertising.
