him as a singular and strange condi-
tion Of things that American con

kets. Don't it look like there is q
screw loose somewhere when these
American-made goods can be shipped
across the Atlantic ocean, $500 miles,
and sold in Liverpool and London
cheaper than they can be, or are, sold
right here at home where they are
