A PROTEST WHICH VOICES THR GENERAL PUB
IIC SENTIMENT.
We seriously question the propriety Of
the town hall building or any part of 1t. be-
ing rented for uses which are direct injury
10 our local eradesmen or to any BrattlsoOro
industry. For the second time within feg
weeks the room opposite the post-ofice is be.
ing used for a sale of goods which Is of no
benefit TO the people Of the town and is a d.
rect damage TO our merchants al & time when
they have heavily stocked their stores with
ssasonabis goods, and need and have a right
20 expect the patronage of their home field
We know that It Is impossible 10 stop such
auction sales, ana that It is impossible 10
make a certain class OF buyers see the folly of
patrouiZlng them, but ths towns property
certainly need not be placed at their disposal.
and the town authorities need not give them
further oOuntenAnce tnau the iaV compes
That goods are obtained al such sales cheaper
than they can be bought of our home dealers
Is not true. The goods are mad 60 appear
cheap, and few things are sold under prlce,
but this Is all Nine times out Of ten u viii
be found that the goods which we're 30
cheap were of meRn-qnality OF else that
they could have been bought for ten per cent
less AZ the nearest home stores BIt this D.
not all, nor is II the main point These trav-
cling dealers are here to day aud nobody
knows where tomorrow. They have no per
manent personal responsibility 20 back the
quality of their goods Our home dealers. on
the contrary, are here for every day in tue
year, and customers know right where to II Cd
them If their goods prove under quality or
other than represented Oar home mer-
chants nave their capital invested here, they
spend their money here, they pay their taxes,
they bear a large share of the public burdens
People who stop TO take these facts into con.
alteration condemn these peripatetc sales
without stint, and the renting Of the towns
property for their uss. For our own part We
hope We are seeing the last Of them.
