He has no use to re- duce prices, as he has kept up his old Hard-Times prIces, in spite of the advance in all classes of goods. He built up his immense trade, by selling goods at his own free will, at the lowest legitimate figures. Yes, the people want facts and will always protect the Originator, of low prices.
