dri'f'ted into the habit of sending away from (hey were a little cowardly, for this would
home to purchase articles of need that
ought to be handled by our own dealers
and countrymen as cheap as could be iaid
down here through the mail, or on board
the cars. Next, it confronts us with this
question, why is it that our local dealers,
merchants, grocors and jobbers of a.l kinds
can not sell us goods as cheap as those big
mail order houses in St. Louis, Chi:ago,
New York, etc.?
Chandler has now reached the point
where her dealers purchase dry goods, groc-
eries and produce of all kinds in car load
lots, therefore, seemingly, they should be
able to sell goods especially dry goods,
notions, millinery and trimmings cheaper
than they do at Chandler. People who have
lived here for a long time have gotten used
to paying these prices and they don't think
much about it, but for two or three years
the people have been coming into this coun-
try from the states till now we have a great-
ly mixed population and it is the people
from the eastern and northern states that
complain most of the high prices. They
have been used to buying dry goods and
notions cheaper, and a good article too. I
don't know how it is, but it is a fact never-
theless that all dry goods notions and shoes
hats and ready-made clothing are sold high-
er in the territory than they, are in the
states. When we speak of this difference
in prices our merchrnts complain that the
railroads charge such high freight rates that
they are compelled to sell high to get out oh
their goods. We know that the railroads
do charge higher freight rates from Kansas
City and' St. LouiJ, there being no compe-
tion, the railroads have it all their own way.
First class freight from Chicago to Chandler
is more than double from St. Louis to
Chandler than what it is from Chicago to
St. Louis and about in the same proportion
from other points in the territory where
there is no competition.
Now, let us see if our merchants and
retail dealers are really desirous to have
freight rates cheaper by having competing
roads, or are they satisfied with existing af-
fairs and high prices. There is a chance
now for the local dealers, tradesmen, stock-
men, merchantmen, to show their hand at
it, as the Cherryvale railroad is now mak-
ing arrangements for a survey through the
county and probably through Chandler. I

leave them no excuse, no high freight rates
to hide behind. Be this as it may I am in
favor of an other railroad, or two o£ them;
three would be better still. Now that Chan-
