LOCAL MERCHANTS AND THE WORKINGMAN.
THE EMPIRE is in receipt of an anonymous letter critising
its comment upon the advantages that residents of a com
munity secure through patronizing home merchants rather
than mail order houses. Incidently the writer adds to his criticism,
"Now 1 know that you have not the courage to publish this let
ter." The snap judgment on the courage of the Empire would
come with better grace if the writer had had the courage to sign
his name to his epistle. However, we will violate a rule that ob
tains in all well regulated newspaper offices, which requires that
no attention shall be paid to a correspondent who has not the
stamina to disclose his identity, to say that the burden of this
anonymous letter writer's contention is that the workingmen
who are not employed by those engaged in business in the City of
Juneau ? in other words, those that are employed by the mining
companies ? are under no obligaitons to purchase from the Jun
eau stores. He says further that they can save from 20 to 100
per cent, by purchasing from the mail order houses.
The Empire has not said that any one was obliged to pur
chase his necessities, comforts or luxuries from the local mer
chants. It did say that it is to his advantage to do so, and it
gave reasons why it is so. It said that trading at home keeps
the profits of trade in the West rather than sends it East; that
it assists to build up the local communities and to improve them
as places in which to live; that larger sales would permit the
local merchants to keep better stocks and sell on closer margins.
It said that the local merchant buys in advance and keeps his
Mock of goods near at hand and ready for the inspection of the
customer at ail times, and in that way caters to the wants of the
regular buyer at times when he must purchase at home which
is usually the case. Give him a larger business and he will serve
in this way better. Competition will care for the prices.
The Empire will say now that the benefits from building up
a thriving town accrue to every man that lives within or near
the town ? no matter the scope of his employment or for whom
he works. A larger city at Juneau would enlarge the opportun
ities of every resident and worker in it and its vicinity and add
to his delight in living here. This is so plain that its bare state
ment carries its own argument.
Nor will the Empire concede that any one saves money by
>electing goods from pictures and glowing descriptions in cata
logues rather than by personal examinations in stores. Usually
he does not do so.
Those officers of the army and navy who belong to the Or
der of Carabao will propably learn that the United States is not
an European military power, and that American policies do not
necessarily originate with the military branch of the Govern
ment.
SUCCESS OF RESERVE SYSTEM ASSURED.
THE press dispatches tell us that the big banks of New York
city will not take out State charters but that they will join
the new. reserve banking system provided for in the ad
ministration currency bill that it is conceded will become a law.
All of which means that the threat of Eastern banking interests
that their banking institutions would change their charters from
National to State banks was a bluff made for the sole purpose of
defeating the currency bill. Under the terms of the currency
bill. National banks are required to become members of the
banking reserve system, while it is optional with State banks
whether they join or not. With the big banks of New York in
the system, as suggested in the news dispatches, it is likely that
most of the banks of the country will follow their example. The
success of the reserve system is practically assured by this an
nouncement.
A "Brand New Rebellion Breaks Out in Mexico." Some way
those words have a familiar ring.
