How it Works.

The Exemption Act Of Congress contains
9 provision which subjects to conscri ption
every exempted manufacturer who charges
a profit exceeding seventy five per cent. on
the cost Of productions The Greensboro
n. G. Patriot gives tie foliowiDg instance
Of the effect Of this provision, which illus
trates the difficulty Of Regulating prices BY
legislation:
At recent sale IN a neigLboring town,
. lnapufacsueer bought quantity Of lard
oil. bidders running up The price to SIS
per gallou, This was certainly enormous.
But whon asked hoy he eoald afford to man
ufaoture goods and pay such extrayag CANT
prices for materials, be rather surprised his
hearers when he told them he would have
been better pleased if they lad ran the oil
TO $75 per gallon instead Of S25. He said
the law allows him Z s per eeat. prods over
cost.of production, and Of course the great
er bis expenees, correspondingly large were
his profits, as rs per cent on S775 vas pref
cradle 70 Is per sect on S25, aud 50 on.
Thus it will be seen that It is to the inter
est Of certain persons to keep up the prices,
of, We might say, every leading article, -
aud heres at last, lies one OF the main Sc
crots Of the present high prices which are
more damaging to our cause thaa4 al things
else combined
