FRIDAY, JANUARY 22nd, 1915.
_ DIRECT 'I3ADE
Anexchange points out that the Postmaster at Wasil-
ington, D. C., is working out a'novel, plan to eliminate the
.middleman “and arranging matters so that citizens of
Vllashlngton and various other towns may materially re-
duce the cost of living by buying direct from the far-
mer." `
The method adopted by the Postmaster is to furnish
enquiries with lists of the names of farmers who are will-
Ing to utilize the parcel post for the direct shipping of
farm goods. These lists contain prices of marketable com-
modities and include postage. information is being given
out at all post offices and quotation prices of foods are
placarded everywhere. Among the principal products
offered for_sale are vegetables, poultry, fruit, butter, eggs.
jellies, flowers and other things, Our exchange says that
“an idea of the saving effected by the method of buying
may be gained from the fact that when eggs were selling
in Washington at 45 cents a dozen. strictly fresh eggs
were obtainable direct from the farm for 25 cents which,
with the postage and cost of mailing brought the price
finally up to 28 cents a dozen."
It is undoubtedly true that mutb could be saved
by consumers in buying direct from the producers, as IS
suggested by the Washington Postmaster. The trouble
with the scheme, however, is that it is altogether in the
interest of the consumer and leaves the producer lust
where he was under the old system. The farmers \vho
supplied the Washington market no doubt received 25
cents a dozen for their eggs before the parcel post system
was adopted, while the Washington consumers paid their
retailers 45 cents for them. _The retailers Set- \l0ll\ ill-‘
buying and selling prices; the farmers are willing to ac-
cept the former and the consumer is obliged to accept
the latter unless, as has been done in \‘Vnshington,
he steps in and gets ahead of the retailer. \\'e do not sec
that the farmer is specially benefitted by the arrange-
ment. It makes little difference to liimwliether he SMS hit*
25 cents a dozen from the retailer or from a private cus-
tomer. Jndeed the former usually means less trouble.
In our own province the parcel post is quite extensive-
ly used botll in buying and selling and its use might well
be even further extended. Both by DHYCOI D081 ‘Hill Ulf
private carriers many citizens of Charlottetown, and
doubtless of towns and villages through the pruVil1Ct’.
procure many ot' their supplies regularly, direct frolu thc
farmers. Where this is done thc business has been mutual-
ly arranged and is conducted on the strength of mutual
confidence; the consumer knows il1Sl Wllal he IS Kdliinfi
and , generally' speaking, he is getting the best product
that the farmer has to dispose ot`.
Quite a number of farmers have won for themselves
a reputation for honest and superior products. Those who
buy their butter, eggs, poultry, nlilk, cream &c., have thc
fullest confidence in their cleanliness and in their honesty.
The demand for such products is practically unlimited
cven in this little province. To lhcsc thc onrccl post or
tho gystcm of in-nling dirt-rt with thc 1-clmullicr is u gr:-:tt
boon and their products bring an they lmvt- u right too,
iligher prices than thc goods thro\-:u indiscril1linatel_v on
the market. The score: fl' good prices and rvctly sales
lies in the quality of tin- product and th.;-rc will be no dif-
ficulty in establishing a direct trait: at gofnl prices with inc
'consumer when the qualify is arsuurcd.

“The country is not interested in politics, of which we
hnvc all time nd nauscanl." Thus says Tile Patriot ill
its yesterday's lssuc and by way of example devotes thrcc
columns of its precious space, not to politics but political
abuse.
It would bc impossible for any self-respecting journal
to .compete with our Contemporary lil its use ol` billings-
gate; it is quite an adept at mud-slinging und for those
who like that sort of controversy it is just the sort of con-
troversy they gct. But it does not appeal to the thinking
part of the community and the others are welcome to it.
In yesterdays issue oi The Guardian we asked:
"Why did the Field Secretary in his report to The
Patriot suppress the names of the two speakers who made
lidiculous charges against thc Government in connection
with the appointment of a prosecutor for Prince (‘.ounty'.’
The names of all the other speakers whose remarks were
reported were given; why were-n't these two? Our report
of the proceedings and those appearing in the Summer-
side Journal and Sumnlerslde Farmer were practically'
identical.-__ What _Is the significance of the anonymous state-
ments ill-The' Pat'f~iot's report? Why should the names
have been suppressed?"
The Field Secretary fails to respond at ali, while The
Patrlot-satlsflcs -itself merely with a fnsllade of billings-
gate "Which cuts'~'no ice."
Why' this ominous silent-e‘.f True. wc are invited to
ask certain gentlemen for the names of the speakers. but
why should we adopt this round-about way when it is open
to 'I‘hJ"Patriot or its reporter, the Pleid Secretary, to sup-
ply the"information? The names of all the other speakers
were flven along with their contrlblltlon to the discus-
sion, why should it be necessary for The Guardian or any
of its r' dere to apply personally to others present to have
their izloslty satisfied?
Th ,tactics adoptetl in this instance are characteristic
of tllifpollcy pursued by The Patriot and its new-found
friend since November last. _ .
