The Peddler and the Daily Press.
Merchants Mail.
The oft repeated efforts of the Mail
to open up the eyes of the daily press
on the enormity Of the evil done by
peddlers and hucksters to the legiti-
mate merchants business, which indi-
rectly effects the daily press. is slow
ly but surely bearing frui0 and some
fine morning we expect upon awaken
ing to find that every publication,
daily, weekly or monthly, are on our
side and clamoring for the peddler's
downfall. The rapid increase in the
number Of these peregrinating VEN
ders has been noted by the daily press
and following in the wake of the
trades journals they are demanding
of the state and city Lawmakers, the
passage of such measures as will most
etfectually wipe out or best restrict
this evil.
The great dailies of the astern and
western metropolis, and In fact one
or more of those Of every large city in
the union and from many smaller
ones are pointing to the evils done
merchants and business men-their
advertisers, by these peddlers, and
suggesting relief measures. For
some time past it has been the aim of
the Merchants Mail to interest the
daily press in this matter-that so
closely concerns it, and it is crafty
ing for us to know that our efforts have
not been unsuccessful. If the daily
press would look at the thing in the
right light it would be unanimous in
a cry for the suppression of the ped
dler. Read what the Albany Daily
Press and Knickerbocker, the latest
acquisition to the ranks Of the ped
dlers' foes has to say on the subject:
The Chicago News very justly conf
plains of nuisance which exists in
that city and all others, consisting of
peddlers, canvassers and other vend-
ers of goods more or less worthless.
These peddlers are untiring in their
efforts for admission to the homes of
the people and, when once they have
gained admission in forcing their
wares on the people whom they would
make customers. All these people
should be required to pay license,
and we suggest that our city ordinan-
ces be so amended.
