" THE FAIR" of buying what they require direct from the farmer and getting it at first cost. Our market was established with that end in view; but in practice it doesynot work-out that way. The market as it is. now conducted is specially for those buyers who come in from the outside and buy all that a farmer's wife has to offer be it much or little, and if a citizen wants a few pounds of butter or a dozen eggs they have to be bought from the middle-man at an advance in price. The citizens of - Port Perry furnish the market building free, and have Mr: McKnight al- ways in attendance to carry the produce into the building, aud who gets the benefit? - The farmers certainly aud they alone.' Now why should the people of Port Perry pay out '$80.00 per year of their taxes to provide : free dccom- modation for the farmers to sell their produce - when the ordinary citizen is practically debarred from receiving any benefit whatever, Sunderland provides a market building and charges one per cent. oir the business done. = When the tax was first put on there was some kicking, but the farmers as a whole saw the justice of it .and th y.it now. cheerfully. = Ux. ridge. provides no building and the market i§ held on the street, rmers have no to pay for, but it Bete it they joins their many friends |
