social duty, and regardless of the Interests OF
their country, rs TO monopolize the trade in
those commodities most necessary for the
comfort ana subsistence of our soldiers and

ture, RS the public guardians, to adopt such
n easures as will prevent, as far Rs possible
the State and the people from becoming the
prey of such harpies.
