We have no patience to discuss
the turpitude of the creatures who
coin the necessities of the people in
to profits for themselves; who give a
dollar to a Volunteer Aid Society
while they extort a hundred from
the people; who, in these fearful
times, gunge their profit on mer
chandize not by cost, but by the ne
cessity which compels the people to
have it; who unblushing continue
their practices simply because there
is no law to inhibit; who dare to
walk out before their fellow-men,
and in the blessed sunlight of heav
en, without, a trembling terror that a
bolt will fall from the just arm of
the Ruler of its azure heights to

fore Him, their country and their
fellows. Judas sold the Lord of
Heaven for a price, and it is not
strange that there should be other
Judases to sell their own worthless
solves to Satan for a price? Let
them go to their purchaser.
