Wc'mt'v read Mr. Turner's artlclop agree with all he says and commend It to tho careful perusal of our friends. Mr. Turner In his article not only speaks for the retail grocor, 'but fw humanity. Ho lays down a foundation which If bullded upon will establish a commonwealth of Independent people. It Is true he gives the manufacturer a good word of prnUe, but this Is certainly cer-tainly timely. It Is tho manufacturer, and honest promoter, that risks his money for the promotion of his venture. ven-ture. If It falls he Is the loser, and If It wins he Is successful. And even then as Mr, Turner saysT "It, Is rather a narrow view to assume that tue parties for whom the goods are being Bold, aro the sole beneficiaries of the denl. If through tho support of the people employment can bo given to flvo hundred men InBtead of ten, does not the benefits thus accrued roach farther than tho purses of tho promoters of the proposition?." Most assuredly, And It Is the success of njnnufaoturlng and development ventures ven-tures thnt builds up'1 commonwealths, and Instead of a few people sending abroad for their daily wears, the result re-sult Is a multitude producing and making mak-ing that which they need.
