An Internal SwindIe.

TO the Editor Of the indianapolis journal:
Last summer I had occasion to visit . family
living in the south part of the city. The fami-
ly was distressed by sickness, Ia boy with a
broken leg and a sick mother were both in bed.
The husband had gone from home to work, and
there was nothing in the house to make the
up in . light spring wagon. No sooner did the
woman see him than she commenced shedding
tears. l asked her the cause. "That is the
sewing-machine man; he has come to take my
only means of making q little money away.
Since my boy has been sick / have not been
able to make my payments. He says have
forfeited what l have paid. and that he must
take it away. I have paid s4S. so and $3.50 il
yet due"
/ returned the next day to inquire after the
result and the particulars. The machine was
gone and the woman told me the price
was $50. She was to pay ST. a week. She was
making pants for one dollar and eighty or
ninety cents for . dozen. She could save from a
weeks hard work. day and part of the night.
81 or 81 80. besides payment on the machine.
On inquiry ] learned that many machines had
been sold in the same way to poor families, at
from $50 TO $50; that this was an extensive
business. Who the men are / do not know; but
suppose they ara migratory swindlers who 60
from place to place and not citizens of Indianap
oils, Now any ono who knows anything about
saving machines knows that they can be Dough,
by the dozen for from SIS to 800 each. Think
of it'll $40 or $50 profit exacted OF the very poor
est women, and then that they have TO dc
enough work on them to pay for them to wea,
them out.
I can give you fifty or sixty namss of case,
similar to the one mentioned. One woman or
Shelby street was to pay $50, and paid S.;
when her machine was taken from
her. 1t is time this thing was in
quired into and . stop put TO this
t~ranscendently mean swindling. The families
wroneed in this way, many Of them. have to &c
to the county for aid or suffer. who. if they had
paid only a fair price for their machines. could
have paid for them and kept absolute want from
their homes. II any one doubts this statement
or thinks the picture here given is colored tos
highly. let him 60 out among the poor people
and ask. Nearly every colored family IL be
sieged by these men. Many of them have pait
twice the worth Of the thing and will be. or have
bsen. compelled to give them up and lose wha1
they have worked so hard for. RANDOM
