This is the first time I ever heard of a
Government denying the people the right to
buy foreign products, as cheaply as the
foreigner is willing to sell them; and, being
a person of limited mind myself. I cannot
understand why our people should be com
pelled by law to pay as much as foreign na
tions pay.
AVhat was Senator Smith's reason for vot
ing for such a law ? AVhy shouldn't you, for
$lO, buy something which sells in Russia or
Germany for S2O. if the owner offers it to you
at the lower price?
This isn't abuse: its's a question.
In justice to a harassed fellow-citizen, I
must.say that James Price's explanation of
why he was put in the calaboose at Marietta,
appears on the surface to be reassuring.
The only wonder is that Janies hasn't been
in the calaboose at other times and places.
James is a bird. If he had been at his post
of duty in Atlanta, it stands to reason that
he wouldn't have been in the calaboose, in
Marietta.
It seems to me I remember something about
Burns having Zus troubles at the same place.
Marietta must be a real, live town.
