Trading with your own Mer
chants.
Jobbing Trade.
[continued. ]
The principle is the same when ap
plied to the wholesale merchants.
Cause and effect have their relation
with wholesalers, no lc.-.s than with
retailers. If the retail purchaser ef
fects his interests injuriously, by dim
inishing the value of his real estate—
and that of his neighbor —by dimin
ishing the value of taxable property
in the community, the wholesale pur
chaser docs the same relative to their
own cities, by diminishing property
valuation and State taxation in the
cilies The same indifferent feelings,
the siime depression of business, the
same want of energy that afflicts a
depressed planter or county mer
chant demoralizes your city merch
ants.
With Jobbers several circumstan
ces tended to force the jobbing trade
to a northern centre, until since the
war. Up to the surrender of South
ern armies Georgia merchants had
no great aspirations for an extended
jobbing trade. Each city seemed
content with supplying the few re
tailers doing business near them. The
cross-roads and village merchants all
went to New York or Charleston.
Fall and /Spring would find merchant -
of all sections hastening to those
great centres of trade, laden with
money—the fruits of honest wearied
toil of the Southern farmers. W.th
this they bought goods and returned
to sell them to the people whose
hard earnings had "one to enlarge
the estates in those cities.
Importation was effected through
those cities, almost entirely. This
gave them an advantage which pro
duced ridicule of all inland ports of
entry, discouragement of the jobbing
trade in every other city, and an at
tempt to monopolize the entire whole
sale trade,
Could the Southern planter appre
ciate the immense amount of money
their toil and energy have contribu
ted to the greatness apd affluence
of New York, ‘they would be. surpris
ed. Suppose you have, trailed with
your merchant to the ainoupt vf SSOO
■ a year. Suppose lie made 15 per
cent on hijpgoods. You would i*y
him Of that amount, lie
would retain about $lO, and as pro
fits forward about $l3O to New York.
Out of these small profits he must
support bis family, improve his es
tates, buy his goods and pay his
freight, and sustain losses. Ilis
profits being so small will not admit
of improvement or enlargement of
estates. Not only the bulk of money
produced by Southern labor, but
most ot the merchant’s profits must
go to building up and advancement
"of other cities, while our own must
remain in the same or declining con
dition. \
• A few"enterprising men in Savan
nah, Augusta, .Macon, Atlanta and
Columbus have dared to establish
a jobbing trade worthy of patronage,
and the success of their enterprise
fully prove the wisdom of their course.
Snice they have done thus, though
against prejudice atiiome and abroad,
those cities have advanced in wealth
and XJiqy
wants of ouiypeople, consider their
interest. Manufactures arc encour
aged, resources are developed and
general advance in wealth and intel-
ligence is promoted. The more they
are encouraged the better arc they
prepared to dove lope the -resources
ol the county. It is that which es
tablishcd manufactures, worked the
coal and iron mines in the North, and
it is that which is unfolding to the
world the hidden wealth of Georgia.
It has heretofore sustained direct
importation iu New York and it is
now at work attempting to unite
more closely the wealth, interest and
intelligence of Europe and Georgia,
by direct importation t hrough o n
own cities. This is right. It fosters
independence. Even the limited en
couragement given those enterpris
ing men, retains much of our cotton
for our Own mills, is enlarging our ci
ties, increasing our wealth and bles
sing the people at large.
These wholesale merchants buy ve
ry largely, and in so doing get their
goods at reduced prices, because of
the quantity bought. They also get
the advantage of reduced, chartered
freights. The per cent,go gained in
in these two items alone will give to
the Southern wholesaler a handsome
per ccntage, and they can well afford
to sell in the same quantity to the
small retailer as cheaply as they can
be bought in the same quantity in
New York. Then their freights will
bo saved clearly. The item of freight
itself will swell the profits of any mer
chant handsomely.
A few days ago a large lot of prints
was sold in New York at 5£ and
6 1-4 cents per yard. Those mer
chants can easily pay their freights,
their city and other taxes, and sell
their goods at 7 and 8 cents per
yard, and make a handsome profit.
A Columbus firm sold to a Macon
firm a few days ago a bill of a cer
tain kind of goods, amounting to
$20,000.
The seller in this case made more
money than if he had sold a less
amount at a higher price. The buy
er in turn could sell die same lot in
bulk and sometimes at small advance
and make money, and yet all parties
be bemffltted. Admit this not to be
true. Tlhwc are standing proposi
tions from.merchants of each of those
cities to duplicate any New York bill
in quantity, quality and price.
Then why go north and elsewhere
when these otters are extended to us
at our own doors ? In the article of
freight alone a living for a small fam
ily would be saved. Encourage your
wholesalers at home, as you would
yolfr dearest interest. They will ben
efit their cities, benefit the merchants,
benefit the people generally by pro
ducing cheaper goods for consump
tion, and will bless the country by
building up your cities, and enhan
cing the value of all real estate, and
by giving a general impetus to inter
est and intelligence.
One difficulty which has operated
against home wholesaling has existed
and does exist now, in failure of
wholesalers to observe a strictly
faithful relation with the retailor.
They have been charged, and qtr c
recently too, of jobbing to merchants
at their jobbing house, while at the
same time in their retail house they
would sell to the customers of those
same merchants the same articles by
the piece or single thing, at the same
price they were sold to the merchant
in large quantities.
This s a violation of every law of
trade. It is a violation of confidence.
It is unjust to sell a man an article
in large quantities at as high price
as in small quantities. The retailer
is injured in that he has been under
sold by the jobber who should have
j-otected him.
NUMBER 4.
lie has not only been required to
pay high prices, perhaps, for his
goods, but his customers have been
taken away from him by the very
person he wishes to pay, and who
wishes to lie paid, in selling to his
customers, by retail at the sane
prices as by wholesale.
This circumstance alone is enough
to discourage home merchants, from
home wholesalers. In every such
case the wholesaler not only merits
but should receive the reward of his
injustice. They not only injure their
own trade and cities, but build up
foreign trade and cities. If I was a
merchant I would mark all such.
I have written these pieces
through the purest motive, for the
general good of our county. I know
no other interest. lain not a mer
chant, nor am I interested in mer
chandize. Of this you are aware, if
they produce benefit, directly or in
directly, I will bo heartily glad.
That they can do no harm, 1 am
sure. Citizen.
A Heavy Bain.
What a heavy rain really means in
avoirdupoise weight is well illustrat
ed by some statistics given by Mr.
Symons in his recent report on “The
rainfall of Great Britain for tbe year
1874.” The rain of October 6th tvas
the most important which occurred
during the year, and lias probably
had no equal since July 6, 1872. At
about 80 stations the fall exceeded
2 inches ; at 28, 3 inches ; at 4, 4 in
ches ;at 2, 5 inches. The heaviest
rain, from two to five inches and more
was preity well confined to the west'
ern p rt of England ; parts ofCumbcr
land, Westmoreland, and North
Wales having had fails of 5 inches
fn connection with tins widely-dis
tributed and in some places heavy
fall, Mr. Symons has given an inter
esting calculation of Ihe whole weight
ght of water precipitated on tins day,
which he reckons at 3,797,000,000
tons. He adds
‘lt is rather curious, ah hough pure
ly fortuitous circumstace that this
graud total of nearly 4,000,000,000
tons should be almost exactly equal
to a uniorm fall of one inch over the
whole of Englann ann Wales. There
is another aspect of the question
which has not yet received adequate
study :
How much air has been deprived
of its vapor to provide this uniform
deposit of 1 inch of rain? A cubic
inch of water contains 252 grains.
Taking the temperature of the air at
55, a cubic foot can contain only five
grains; and ns the air was certainly
not deprived of half its moisture,
even allowing for change of tempera
ture, caoh cubic foot could have yield
ed at the most only threfe grains.
But there are 1728 cubic inches in a
cubic foot, and therefore each cubic
incli could have given only l-576(say
1-600) of a grain. As the inch of
rain requires 252 grains, we have
theresub, 252x600=151,200 vertical
inc Les, or 12,600 feet, or rather more
than two miles high of air must have
been dried to have yielded the water
deposited.”
She had been so petulent and
cross for several days that h J
thought of a device to soothe ’ ’
and accordingly remarked ir
vety voice ; ‘My love, d<j_ e yQU
think you would like tr
to the seaside, and oy> U y
air?’ Don’t be a fivnions, and
short reply, ‘the air iback when
is salt.’ accU&to **-

Bijah on Currency.
“Well bub,” replied Bijah as 110
finished hanging up the broom, ‘‘
this currency question bothers ma
ny besides you. though its clear en
ough to me. lou see that twenty
five cent scrip, don’t you ?”
The boy remarked that he did,
and Bijah placed it on the window
sill, weighted it down with a peach
stone, and continued :
“jThat bit of paper is marked
“twenty-five cents,” but is it twen
ty-five cents ? Is it anything more
than a piece of paper ?
’“I dunno” solemnly replied the
hoy. “lias that piece of paper smy
real value beyond its being a prem
ise to pay ? demanded Bijah.
“What paper ?”
That ’ere twenty-five ”
He stopped there. Someone
had sneaked up the alley and sly
ly stolen both scrip and peach-stone.
“Never mind,” condoled the boy
“it hadn’t any intrinsic value.”
“It hadn’t, eh ? growled the old
jaunter “I just want to catch the
wolf who absorbed it !”—Detroit
