\n“We need to turn consumption into paths that strengthen theconsumer and call forth the best qualities of those who providefor consumption,\"  \nProfessor Marshall,University of Cambridge,England  \n一  \n“Cost must be reduced to terms of life,only when it is recog-nized that all cost is expenditure of life and that every consumerby each act of purchase is exerting a direct power of life or deathover a class of producers shall we get a truly scientific grasp of therelations between producer and consumer in industrial society.\"  \n“You may increase the wealth of a nation far more effectivelyby educating the consumers,than by increasing the efficiency ofthe producer.\"  \nJ.A.HOBSON.A.M.Author of“The Evolution of Capitalism,”&c,&c.  \nThe Consumers'League.  \nIt is perhaps a little unusual to use the word“con-sumer”in the sane sense as the word\"buyer,\"but no word hasbeen found quite so adequate to its purpose.A Consumers'League is an association of persons who desire,so far aspracticable,to do their buying in such ways as to further thewelfare of those who make or distribute the things bought.A“League of Buyers”would answer quite as well,if we meantby buyers just such people as crowd the stores from day today—if we meant ourselves,purchasing and using suchthings as food,clothing,pictures,and books.Understandingthe word“consumer”simply as buyer and user,the ques-tion arises at once,does our ordinry buying of things carrywith it anything like moral responsibility?That this is true,in the most matter-0f-fact way,no one will douht who is wilingto think;to think with some earnestness and a little patienceabout certain economie truths,which have grown into clearnessin quite recent years.  \nPRICE,15 CENTS.  \nAny profit that may accrue from the sale of this paniphlet will go for the usesof tue League.  \nWe shall give these truths their simplest form of state-ment if we say that the buye(consumer)may be,in the veryact of buying,a creator.The shoddy buyer is shoddy maker.In a very real sense,to buy a harnful thing is to help makethat thing.We often use the words\"order\"and\"getmade”in ways which bring out the responsibility of the buyerfor the kind of thing he“orders”or\"gets made.\"\"I hate  \n4  \nthese high-heeled and narrow-toed boots,\"says a manufacturer,“bit people will buy them and so I make them.”  \nStill more than this is trne;to buy products nade bylabcrers working in unwholesome surrroundings is to helppersetuate those evil eircumstances.  \nIf a fact so important as this were once clearly seen andadnitted,there would be little need of further explanation.If,in the world's economie processes,to buy an ugly thing isto ret it made;if to buy sweated garnents is to become apartner of the sweater,we should readily concede that buyershave a responsibility as definite as it is serious.A swarm ofdot bts and perplexities might arise as to the practicability ofaylying
