The Balance of Trade.
When the original thirteen "colo
nies banded themselves together
a political institution, known as the
United States, its statesmen realized
that a hard struggle was before
them as in every department
commerce the balance of trade
was against them—in other words,
they were sending more money
abroad for what they needed than
they were receiving from abroad
This condition has been of vital in
terest to every Hew country and
even to some who count their ages
by the century. When any one or
any community arrives at that
period in its experience where more
money is coming in than going out,
they are certainly building a strong
foundation f6r the future.
There is little in the experience of
the lives of nations that may not
apply with just as much force
the lives and undertakings of the
individual communities. In fact,
applies with almost equal force

this applies with greater force to an

that in any county in Iowa there

among its people the sum of $50,

sum is in circulation because it
needed to conduct the business

needed, apart of it would retire and
if more was needed it probably
would be forth-coming from some

three or four of our prominent na-'
tionalities. Let us ask the reader
why it is that in neighborhoods
where Germans or Scandinavians
predominate you will find a pros
perous community—a locality where
almost every farmer is able to pay
cash when he buys a few hogs or
fattening steers and you also find in
that locality the merchants meet
their bills promptly? Can you
imagine why, what the
cauBe
We are not insinuating when we
suggest that the nationalities named
are to a certain degree clanish and
to a very large extent, believe in
trading among themselves in other
words trade at home and for that
reason you will find such communi
ties always supplied with working
capital.
How remarkable it iB that in our
own state, in cities where the Ger
mans largely predominate, and we
have some striking examples, you
find the banks carrying larger de
posits than in any other cities of the
state. These bankB always have
money to loan to the people of their
community. There is only one "rea
son, and that is they keep tlieir
money at home.
Does this effect the price of farm
lands?
It surely does for in all such com
munities you will find farm lands
selling at a higher price than in
communities where people are con
tinually pending their money to
large cities for what they need.
In the first place there is nothing
saved by buying away from home.
It may seem so at the time but if
we understand all the tricks in the
trades and the deception used in the
manufacture of goods, we would
readily be converted to the home
trading idea. Secondly, we know
that such a condition depleats the
working capital of our communities
and
makeB
us depend upon the very
people of Easteyn cities whom we
have patronized. We give them
the profit on the goods wo need and
then give them the profits on re
turning the money to us that we
may borrow.
If we are not mistaken the coun
try at present is on the eve o£ the
discussion of this most vital of ques
tions.

his books for his business, makes
out his own bills and receipts and
learns how to do business with the

Considerable interest has been
