4 I'm AZ N-~e @N
While the people are contributing every dol
ar they can spare for the comfort Of the soldiers,
{ is but just that the merchant and trading
classes should afford some evidence o. patriotism,
at least the negative one of forbeaTing to specu-
ate on the necessities and distresses Of the coun-
try. As It is, not only are these classes too much
intent upon their vocation of m~oney-making, but,
besides enrching themselves out of the needs Of
he country, their mOnOpoles and speculations
stand between the people and the soldiers. They
do double injury They reaptheiT own immense
gains out Of the double struggles for all that a
people holds dear, and battle and prevent the
volunteer contributions Of the people to their
brave defenders by moDopolizing articles of prime
necessity, initiating prices beyond the reach of
general purchasers, and embarrassing the trans
pOrtation Of volunteer stores to the army.
There is no necessity for speaking generally Of
this subject. We can designate any number of
articles, the prices Of which have been doubled
and trebled by trade mOnop0lies and speculative
combinations, without any reason in the nature
Of things for the sudden and monStrous imitation
Of former prices. There Is, for instance, no Just
eason why bacon should now be thirty-fve
cents per pound. Our exchanges say that in
The leading markets of this article the stocks
are, if anything, larger than when it was selling
nom thirteen 10 fifteen cents. Again, in dry
goods, the same uniustand speculative advance,
effected by mOnopolies Of capitalists, is evident
We have been told that for blankets, which
probably cost not more than one dollar and fifty
cents % two dollars per pair, five and six dollars
is now asked. Homespun that, las winter, sold
0Or sly and a quarter cent? is sold now (tho
same stock, too, at twelve and = half cents. Ad-
Fances in the same proportion have been made
in other articles necessary for the clothing Of our
troops.
II public sentiment is not equal TO chastise
and correct tn money greed Of merchants aud
radesmen, wc.see no reason TO hesitate at the
necessity OF the government TO take the matter
mder lis control, at least so far, without inter
tering with the legitimate freedom and enter
prise oftrade, as to break up speculative com
0~inatiOus against itself There are honorable
and noble cases where a lew of our patriotic
merchants, content with their ordinary regular
profits, have consented to dispose of their goods,
50 long as they lasted, az the usual prices. Tho
profits have been sufficient 10 pay at least for
neir time and investments. Why should not
MS honorable manifestation of Justice and patri-
"tism, given by q few Of our merchants, be
made the rule, ifueed be, by the rigor of the law,
for those others, deprayed by ~avarice, worse ia
tact than the expelled "alicn enemies who,
aaying mad. their money Out Of the Suuth, are
content to leave il without affecting attachment
p couutry the pluudor and spoil Of which they
only cared for.
