The Hucksters.
Rrpm the RIohnond Eranlne

There is a subject of deep interest to the
citizens of Richmond, which demands the
attention Of the Council. The sxtortionate
prices demanded for all kinds of Vegeta-
bles and other supplies in the markets are
the subject of serious consideration. How
the middle aud poor class of citizens sup
ply themselves with the necessaries Of life
is a wonder The rich care not for the
cost, for their abundant resources enable
them to meet any demands. The specula-
tors care not, for they make enormous
profits on whatever they buy and sell. But
the classes We have mentioned, which con-
stitute- the large msjority of the commu.
nifty, are made to suffer beyond endurance.
One of the canses of these high prices is
the permission 70 the hucksters to buy
provisions and retail them again in the
market. The hucksters area small class
of disrepntabls persons, being mostly
shirkers Of military service, who, combi-
ming together, are enabled TO command
the market, and exact any prices they
choose from the necessity Of the people
10 @rmer times We had an ordinance pro-
hibiting this traffic. Il was thought wise
by the City COuucii under peculiar cir
cumstauces, to repeal this wise regulation.
The consequence has been that the huck-
sters noW-DeeleRe our EHlEOhu huu SeuN'
depots, hover around our commission
stores, aud at once buy up in guam
titles every srticIc Of food that
comes to tie city, and Immediately exhibit
them in market at enormous profits. II

done, as If tsith The szPTess desi0H 70 staTpt

seiEes All the transportation of our rail
roads, and it becomes almost impossibla
for private persons to obtain transportation
for anything, and when an article is per-
mitted to reach Hs, 1t is pouncsd upon by
happy hueksters, who prey upon the wants
of their fellow citizens. We call the At
tsution Of the Council 70 this latter griev-
ance. Their interference to prevent the
evil complained of would meet the apPro-
baton OF large majority Of the people
and eontribate much 70 alleviate the dis
tress of the Community.
We feel assured il il the desire of the
Council 70 do whatever in them lays %
alleviate the present sad conditiou OF the
masses, aud therefore take the liberty oi
making q suggesrion. This huekstsr ques-
tion is an old sore that has bothered many
Councils, bat the time has come when Il
should be met fully and fairly, and the

point decided whether it is absolutely
necessary that the food consumed by our
people should, after leaving the producer,
pass through the hand of'the hueksters,
thereby receiving an enhancement of so TO
100 per cent. We would make this simple
suggestion to the Council. At the meet
ing which takes place to-day appoint q
committee to examine into and report up
on this subject. II the committee, after q
examination of the subject, End
that they can do good, let them so report.
1t will at least be some solAce in our mis-
cry to know that our ills are beyond hu
man remedy.
