[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 **- (The gunm Elista 3r,qus.
