A still more Interesting phase of the question to the relation between high prices and the parcel post system. The merchants of Beaver by the above an nouncement have practically admitted that the parcels post is causing a competition which they are finding difficulty in meeting. Personally, we have never believed that local merchants art responsible to any particular extent We believe they are victims, to that they , for the high standard of prices. are being held up by the jobbers and wholesale houses. There have been too many middle men before the merchandise reaches the local merchants. In some caaes our local merchants may have done wrong in that they have tried to make too big a profit for themselves, but generally speaking, local com petition in Beaver, Milford and all of Beaver County for that matter has been such that ths rate of profit for the local merchant has not been very much. In other words, i: If the parcels post system is entting out the middle-mathe parcels post system to enebling the original manufacturer or other producer to deal directly with the consumer to a sufficient extent that some of the men will be eliminated it will result in taking off several of those intermediate profits from the final price paid by the consumer. n, A LOCAL SAMPLER PROPOSED WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INDIGENT?

This neighborhood to largely dependent upon the mining industry, although that Is by no means the sole support. It is, however, one of our big things. We know of no way that a small producer can ever become a big producer without first shipping ore on a small scale. For the last several years there haye been eo many bitter disappointments to ths smolter returns received that would seem almost sure that there to some unfair treatment being meted ont by the smelters to the ore producers. The larger mining companies on basis which enables them to get regular contracts, fare, of course, much better. We are neither mining experts nor smelter experts end we are not to possession of sufficient date to enable us to diacnes this question Intelligently. It to, however, absolutely trns that if the smelters do not give proper returns and pay for the actual mineral contents of the ore, such a procedure Is a body blow to the mining Industry, to the railroads and to every body else that gets any portion of their support from this industry. Ons man In Beaver eounty recently made extensive tests of some ore which he was shipping, and, In fact, took such great care and precaution to be sore of the .ssssy value of his ore, that it would not seem possible Jor; him to be but Instead of netting a nice round profit he netted a substantial loss, apon several cars of ore which he shipped on the strength ofr his assays.
