4 War AGAINST Peddlers.

The merchants Of this city are rising in
indignation and justly too. If ever city
was flooded with peddlers Waterville is at
this time. The worst of it all Is that
many of them, it is said, are here without
licenses to do their work. The officers of
the law are supposed to look after these
fellows and without doubt they do, but
the officers cOnfine their presence to the
business part of the city and this the ped
dlers know, so while the officers are look
ing after the interior, the peddlers are
taking care of the outside sections of the
city. These peddlers sell anything from a
parior organ to paper of pins or col
lar button and in the long run they cut a
good deal of ice with the local merchants
business. This question of trading with
itinerants has bothered us for many
day. for the dear people like to trade with
those whom they do not know and get
an inferior article for a little less than
they can get a good thing of their local
trader. Agents for organs, sewing ma
chimes bicycles, tea and coffee, hosiery
pictures. albums, rugs. and almost every
article that is useful in the household,
come to this city as We suppose they do
to other cities, and ply their trade in op-
position to the men who are here the
year round. who pay taxes and pay
man who stays here in business builds his
own block and pays taxes on it and the
stock of goods in it as well. A well regu-
lated store has in it as good as the mar
ket anordS and in these days of sharp
competition. the goods go for as little
as the trader can buy and sell them for.
Then along comes travelling peddler
who says he has the same that you can
buy In the local store, for less money.
Your wife. who is of saving turn of mind.
buys OF the peddler an article that has
worn out several shelves in the store and
congratulates herself that she has saved
you a cent or two. Perhaps you meet the
peddler on the street and invest Yourself
and when you have occasion to test the
article you also have occasion to swear.

All the time such people as Soper & Co.,
Gallert, Robinson and few others are
paying taxes on stores and residences.
Now the traders of this city are getting
weary of all this. They believe they are
giving you good article for as little
money as 1t can be purchased anywhere
and they are going to find out just how
much you appreciate their endeavors TO
please you. They are going to give the
peddlers a red hot chase for their money
or their licenses IL they have to hire men
to lay, for them. The farm house is the
prey for the peddler for he knows that
the city marshal does not get out that
way unless upon a special occasion The
officer looks after the agent that gets in
side the city, but that agent almost al
ways has a license, his sub-agent Is the
fellow outside. 1t is of no use to advise
you to trade with the man who lives next
door to you and who keeps your town In
trim. for you will not do 1t. You had
rather buy of the other fellow so you can
have a chance to run to the city marshal
and tell him how bad you have been
swindled and you expect to make some
one sweat for it all. Your buying of
tramp traders is an evil. 1t breeds con-
tempt in man for man; 1t Is the direct
cause of suspensions and failures in bust
ness: il makes town sleepy and behind
the times; 1t prevents the expansion of
business; it helps the foreigner, who does
not pay the tax or the freight. and rObs
the hard working merchant of his just
reward; buying you provoke the very evil
against which you pretend to guard.
