Waco, Feb 10.-I have noted with
pleasure the number, of progressive
cities of our state that crowd the
columns Of the Dallas Express, not
withstanding its oppositions and OPP
posers and especially o. to its price
now 10 cents per copy. The quarrel
or rather complaint, seems to be over
five cents. 1t has, like most other
state and Southern papers, heretofore
sold for cents per copy and now
its awful, 10 cents. ! am very sorry
too, to state that the majority of the
complaints comes from the leaders
or blind guides, who strain at gnat
and swallow a camel. There Las
been a fuss and complaint about
prices everytime they have gone up
every since going up prices started
|
1t happens to be for the gamer. For
instance. the former will never COM
plain about cotton going up to 80 d
40 cents and bacon, 1 mean pork and
lard to 40 and 80 cents per pour d /;
but If he has to pay an advanced
price for groceries and dry goods
its something fearful. I must say
however, that / am surprised at gro
GERS and other persons being so much
alarmed over cents.
l do not know all the why's MOI
maybe any Of the why's that the DIAL
las Express raised is price, but J
would suppose, believe every other
fair-mfnded, race loving American
citizen would answer because 1t be
came necessary: because the cost ot
