With the superficial and limited
work of that body, led by the energet-

results have been startling. Millions
of dollars have been saved the people
of New York through the stamped

price manipulations.
We have such an endless procession
of prices affecting various groups in
America, that Congress is kept busy
passing special legislation Cor relief

knowledge of the effect, or time to

There Is no question in the world
that the farmer needs something done
for him, when his product is suffering
unhaard of low prices, and he is pay
ing unheard-of hight prices for all he
buys.
But it must be highly amusing to
the gentry who have by en- elaborate
system of national distribution erect

barrier between the farmer and Sup
