n -PEDLARs.

PEDLARS. i
That" thrre are some honest people
in every Calling" is an old adage, and
by many believed to be true one nor
should we now attempt to dispute its
correctness, but for the existence Of a
certain worthless, rowing class Of peo-
pie designated Pedlars, alias travelling
merchants.alias venders ofstolen goods.
This gang Of spoDgers have no occa-
sion to be honest they not only carry
all their worldly effects son their backs,
but their characters are there too, nor
does it add great weight to their lug
gage. They are without a name. (or if
any fictitious one) far away from their
acquaintances, so that, should they be
detected in any thing dishonest or i'm
moral, it would not have that effect up
on their standing in life which It should
do. People are not uufrequenily ob!ig-
ed to purchase their goods, in order to
free themselves Of their company, and
instances have been known, where fe-
males have been absolutely frightened
into bargain. They'prowl about the
country picking up chiidren's ,oppers'
to support themselves in idieness and
sometimes dissipation. But there are
other reasons why this class OF stroll
ling knaves should not be encouraged :
Every cent paid them Is dead loss to
the town from which il is carried ;there
isno more come back to it than thereEs
to the specie dollars cent to India il
is like throwing money into the sea-
1t is one of the most fallacious ideas ev.
er admitted into the human ,noddle, that
goods are to be bought cheaper of a
Pedlar than Of our town and village
merchant. There is not single rea-
son for the supposition, Can per-
son who buys of the wholesale dealer
fifty or an hundred dollars worth OF
goods, get them cheaper than one who
buys thousands? But admitting that
some articles could be purchased few
cents cheaper ofthese lying vagabond:
than Of the regular traders, is it no pol.
icy in me to pay this difference TO m,
neighbour, for the chance of again get
ting hold Of the money? If L am :
halter, shoemaker, or other mechan.
ick, is il not to my interest to buy my
dry goods Of the merchant my neigh.
bour, TO the end that be may have the
wberewi'hal to buy my hats or my
shoes? That they do, however, sell
any article cheaper than other people,
is not true there is either deficien-
cy in weight or measure, or a, differ
ence in quality. 1t is very reasonable
to suppose there must be, and in view
of this consideration, Pedlars should be
classed with Quacks and exhibitors oi
learned goats. dancing bears and pump
ing cows. They should not be encOur
aged in their idle, dishonest manner o
getting living. e
