A COMPARATIVE statement of prices
in New York, Philadelphia, Paris,
London, Berlin, and other prominent
cities in all parts Of the world, shows
that New York is the most expensive
on the globe IN the matter of food.
The whole causerof this social mis-
fortune lies in the fact that the food
itself comes to the consumers through
too many middle men, all of whom
must make their percentage. The same
reason, to some extent, applies to our
markets. Could consumers and pro-
ducers deal directly with each other.
one would get their provisions
cheaper and the other obtain better
prices for their products. They could
divide between them the profits of the
middle men.
