of the
13th

'
linst., there appeared

"‘Correspondence,’”
two articles,

A Poor’’ and
"‘Another
Poor,’’

:
These
articies
while
apparently
tend-
ing
to bear
on
some
attempt
at
profiteer-

ing,
are
iln their essentials
very
mislead-
ing, going indeed
so
far beyond
the limit
i
of reason
as
to accuse

If the Food
Commission
had
not
been
looking at the interests
of the publie,
the
-
prices
of
food-stuffs
would
todav
he
much higher,
as
is the
case
in
St.

'

[et
us look
a* conditions
there:
i
In
that
island

we
find
that
every
articie
in

grocer’s
.
line,
as
well
as
every
article
outsideof
same,
is
being
sold
at
a
higher
price
than
here.
If we mistake
not, the Crucian
has
to pay
nine or ten cents
more for meat thap
we do.
while
as for
sugar-—an
article
grown
in
nis home—he
pays
24
cents
per pound,
against
the
13
and
14
cents
per
wnound
paid by
us.
Surely.
the pevple
of
this island
must
know
that
it
is
through
the efforts
