HOW MARKETS ARE KNOCKED DOWN (Written Sneclally for The Bulletin.) A huckster who came into my lane the other day to sec if I wanted any sweet potatoes or clams or other fruit which 1 can't raise for myself, had also some caulifiower aboard. Seeing some rather curdy looking heads in my shed he asked what 1 was getting for them.“Oh, anywhere from ten to twenty-five Cents” I answered, “ac- cording to size and curdiness” Then he told me why he asked. A dozen or so miles back on his route an old farmer who was look- ing over his‘load asked him what he got for his cauliffiower which, be it noted, he had just bought at a city market. ‘I have to get twenty cerits aplece” answered the huckster. “Wha-at?" fairly shouted the old farmer. ‘D've want to rob folks? Why, I've had & hundred biggern them in my garden this fall, and T've sold 'em for five cents apiece to any- are also my neighbors, practically all of them, I have not asked any more, quality for quality, than the ruling prices of the past few years. I have sold a few heads which were either small or scraggly or unblanched for five cents to women who said they would “do” for pickles or chili sauce or similar use. Bu: I would as soon have thought of selling silver quarter- dollars for a nickel aptece as selling really good caulifiower heads for much less than twenty-five cents. One candid customer, who was told that the price for two fair heads was twenty cents each, answered; “Youre giving them away. 1 priced some in town day be- fore’ yesterday, not as white as these and no bigger, and they wanted thirty-five cents for them at the mar- ket” “Well”, I anewered, with a lit- tle laugh, “that's why you didn't buy of them and do buy of me, I s'pose.” body who wanted 'em Incidentally,—though, this isn't at - all the point I'm after in this talk, these incidents show the true selling Now, | don’t know how it has been (ficlq of us eastern farmers.

The ordinary housewife cannot un- derstand, if she can buy caulifiower from him for five-‘cents a big head, why she should. have to pay twenty- five cents to-anybody else. -She is inclined to suspect that those who ask twenty-five cents aro wanting an ex- rbitant price. She does not under- stand that he, by reason of a combi- nation of ignorance and stupidity and fortuitous luck, is selling her a silvar quarter for a nickel five-cent piece, and that he cen’t keep it up nor can anyone in regular husinéss do the like. | He is giving her a caulifiower and twenty cents in money, every timte. She assumes that he must know what he is doing. As a matter of fact, he doesn't. And right there is where certain farmers make the biz mistake. They fhappen o have a streak of luck which, when it comes, they are apparently i capable of taking advantage of. They are too shiftless or too engrossed in lesser matters to find out what it really means to them !n Inoney or profit. So they waste, ingnore, throw away the gain that chance, kinder to them than their own gumption, has laid at their feet. Not only that, but they callously injure scores of more last I found out that a rather shiftless ne'er-do-well living in a shack on the mountain had set out, the spring be- fore, to raise an acre of cabbage.

Mr. Mountaineer set the whole acre to them and' didn't find out his_mistake till they began to head. Then he didn't know what to do with them. He didn’t even know what they were and was inclined to turn his cow into them to feed them off as waste, when a speculative and none tco honest neighbor suggested to him that, per- haps, they might be worth “suthin, even if not quite so much as cabbage, and offered him two cents a head for the lot This offer set Mr. Mountain- eer to thinking. He loaded some into his ramshackle old wagon, hitched up his old nag and came down into the valley, where he soon found plenty of canny housewives ready to take his caulifiower at five Cemte a head. As this was, all he expected for. cabbage, he sold off his load and went back fs another, ‘congratulating himself on his wonderful luck. In short, he filled up the little town with five-cent cauli- flower, s0 that those of us who knew what it was wortn and who had had ‘to pay caulifiower price for our cauli- flower seed found our market gone for the season.

It may be that these particular boys are tougher in_ their acts than were the boys of old New London half a century or so ago, or even less. But this is doubted by one who was a boy at that period. This may possibly be accounted for in the fact that there were less boys and less policemen then than now. .

The banking 'aw is a good law in certain of its provision but Mese provisions are those of the Aldrich bill, which before election the Democrats so frantically denounced. They denounced in similar fashion a tariff commission and an industrial commission; and they are now in rather impotent fashion feeling after both. They have passed a child labor law (which js so drawn, however, that it may be utterly ineffective) after Mr. ‘Wilson ~ had emphatically declared against’ it. They champion ‘a law which wlll make the needed revival of our shipping by private enterpris more difficult than ever. The tariff law. was working ruin to our industry un- til the war created an outside tariff more protective than any we ‘have ever previously had. The President is astute and far- sighted in his management of politi- clans for party and personal cnds. He belleves that the solid south will vote for anything with the Democratic label wholly without regard to the principle involved. The solld South is ultra- conservative: but inasmuch as In the South the negro and the poor white laborer are both of them unorganized, an appeal to the class followers of trades unionism in the North does not disturb Mr. Wilson's power in - the South. In consequence the Democra- tic party under Mr. Wilson's leader- ship seeks to develop as a radical la- bor party in the North, so as there to capitalize the®labor vote, while re- maining reactionary in the South, and endeavoring to reassure the hig money interests because of what _the South can do in national matters.
