columns will, to the satisfaction of all, prove
the assertions of 81. T. B." false in every par
ticular The association was organized by the
writer. You will, therefore, understand that
know whereof / speak. We organized for
two purposes To DO our utmost toward pre-
venting tho District from forcing u license
upon tho dealers In the Washington market.
We pay our license to the company monthly.
We bought with the understanding that the
rental covered gas, water, watchmen, license
aud sweeps. The company bnrglincd to paw
tho District certain sum for their privileges
II the District lost any part thereof through
litigation that is no fault Of ours and we do
not propose to pay their debts. Our principal
reason fer organizing was to use every on
deavor to break up this unlawful traffic by
middlemen aud huGkstors who back up around
our markets, who buy and sell without license
or any tax or rental whatever, and who for
tho most part sell what the Legitimate dealers
inside leave after having selected what is
prime. 1t naturally follows that they 1.-THE
outsiders) can well sell tho cheapest for the
quality such as ii is. Tho assertion that wo
ever requested outsiders to raise or lower their
retail prices | pronounce false. While there
exists seven markets and four hundred stores
selling the same goods, wo will not amount to
much rs ring or as monopollsts. The person
who wrote the article last Saturday will hayo
to do better. lie will have to make better
argument If he expects any benefits TO arise
from 1t. He knows that his business Il unlaw.
full as well AS unjust to the market men. The
markets must be protected. We propose to
have that protection. We will leave nothing
by any name you please, dear friends. We
would like -, T, b." to sign his full name 10
any future article he may write, for no doubt
he is proud Of his position. Let us haze a fair
