We abuse the prefiteer, and
yet in many instances we are his
active abettor aud accompllce.
For instance: Last Saturday
a negro was peddllng new sweet
potatoes at private homes and
had no trouble in setting them at
Sl 90 a peck. The housewives
who bought the potatoes knew
they were belngsrobbed, but they
bought the potatoes, and thus
encouraged profteerlng.
When the people set their
faces like flint against these
things and say like Paul, 81 Will
eat no potatoes while the world
stands" the price of potatoes
will come down.
And so with some other things.
