The Trading Stamp Nuisance.
Wilmington. Del, Sept. Q, 1904.

Editor Evening Journal.
thoroughly endorse all that you
have said touching the trading stamp
nuisance Honest goods at honest
prices should be the principle Of mer-
chant and purchaser Who pays for
the goods taken from the red and
green stamp trading stores? Let us
see Not many days since "a lady
made a settlement at a store where she
purchased her groceries, and paid for
] them when her husband received his
pay, once month. II was "A hand
some bin for that month The trad
ing stamps due on the purchases were
Offered but she declined, thanking them
for their offer but assuring them that
she did not approve OF the system.
/ The merchant made a double profit
on that purchase or he estimated that
many would not take out the stamps
and that would enable him TO furnish
stamps to those who wanted them. so
/ submit that the party who draws
goods on the stamp Is aided I'm that
purchase by those who do not that the
party who refuses the stamp pays dou-
BILE profit, and an injustice Is done all.
a merchant said TO me not long ago
that his stamp book cost him 500.
Ia reply to my inquiry he said the
amount was charged up TO the GUS
toner as he must have his proft.
II trading stamp goods sell for less
than their actual value is Il not due
TO the fact that the profit is made out
OF the purchasers who do not accept
trading stamps? II is that element
that gives il the appearance Of gambl-
ling. In an ordinary and legitimate
contract both parties gain by enter
ing into the agreement. In a gambl-
ing contract one is sure 20 lose. BY
the terms Of the gambling contract, the
consideration must fall TO one or the
other upon the determination Of the
specified event"
IL must be admitted that this Is a
shrewd scheme, but it lacks the ele-
ments OF just business principles
Some accept 1t because OF the element
lof chance others are perfectly inno-
cent and VIII drop IL as soon as they
see the real character of the deal. The
price paid for goods in this way Is
often regarded to be more than It's
real value but the method is regarded
as extenuating. BY this sort of busi-
ness methods, if they should be digni-
fed with the title the laboring classes
(of whom there are not a few, dole
out their income ] believe your ef-
forts should result In revealing the
better way to the purchaser. He should
learn to save his earnings and not pay
them over to some other fellow In small
amounts to keep for him. lie says that

Does not the present system aggra-
vate the difficulty?
l believe that you are comforting a
favor by the agitation OF this subject
