Light Weights and short Measures
Again.

Light Weights and short Measures
Again.
Yesterday We fell in with Jacob
Deakyne, sealer of weights and measures
for New Castle County. He had with
him an assistant, horse and wagon,
regulated weights, scales, measures,
tunnels and flax seed. The latter was
for the purpose of running into dry
measures to ascertain their capacity
Instead of coping himself up in some
hotel where nobody would take the
trouble to hunt him up TO have their
weights and measures readjusted, &c
cordlng 10 The old plan, Mr.. Deakyne
has been taking pilgrimages around the
city popping into stores and places Of
business quire Unexpectedly and asking
to have measures and weights produced
that re might ascertain whether the
proprietors did business on an honest
basis. Mr.. Deakyne has an excellent
opportunity of ascertaining who are
honest dealers and who are not We
were Informed that there was great ir-
regularity in the weights and measures
i'll stores-indeed, those that were large
enough and heavy enough were the ex-
CeptiOns. In some instances half pecks
were found that had double bottoms in
them, after the Clifton order. OF course
az Mr.. Deakyne did not see the pro
prietors use these fraudulent half pecks
he had no case against them, but npv.
ertheleSs it has been demOnst rated that
they are used, and the fact becomes es-
tabliShed that some of our storekeeprrs
are nothing but frauds and cheats. The
man who would put false bottom in a
half peck and nse it for selling produce
to A customer, is a dishonest mana
thief, and if he had good opportunity
would steal his customers pocket book.
Last year and the year before last the
REPUBLICAN waged an active warfare
against the vampires in the city mark
cts who were sucking the life blood from
the working people with scanty wages,
by the means Of light weights and dis
b onest measures, and our efforts
were crowned at last with success,
the City Council coming to the relief of
the people and compelling the huckstors
and other dealers to have their weights,
scales and measures read juStcd. This
drove out quite number of dishonest
dealers and compelled others to become
honest not from conviction, but from a |
fear OF the law. This reform
lid not stop with the city markets, but
the Legislature gave Mr.. Deakyne, the
,ealer Of weights and measures, the
to bring other dealers outside
If the city markets up 10 an honest
of dealing. The visits of NJ.
)eakyne to the stores around town dis
loses the fact that the people have
been shametully leirauded and cheated
They could easily ascertain whether
hey get good weight in groceries, and
honest measures i'll potatoes and other
produce they buy by the half peck.
They should from time to time test nv
measures and scales they know are
lonest their purchases, and when they
ind they have been cheated they should
ever darken the door of that store
gain while the same dishonest pro
rietor remains. We hope Mr.. Dcakyns ,
ill keep Il record of the grossly dis
)n"st dealers hr meets with in his WISH
iions. 1t may be useful some time in
ne future.

great benefit to those who are entirel,

10 the produce and provision consump

general thing, succeeded as well in that

industry and integrity of purpose are
all that is required TO make a co opera

IL IL because such people who want to

they do not succeed as they should. Co

there where they are most needed
