To Tue PRINTER. Pleaje to infert the following Thoughts upon our prefent Difficulties, on Account of the Want of Provifion, and you’ll perbaps oblige the Community. K.S. EVERY Perfon that has any Spirit of Humanity, and feels in the leaft De- . gree for the Sufferings of the Public, muft, when he looks around and obferves the va- rious Diftreffes of this Province, be touch’d with the tendereft Sentiments of Compaf- fion. Not only much of our Riches is tranfported to the neighbouring Govern- ments, but many poor Families, defticute of the Means of procuring the Neceffaries of Life, have really fuffered a good Deal of the Calamity of a Famine. And as Bread isan Article abfolutely neceffary for Man, they that have it to difpofe of, have it in their Power to make what Advantage they pleafe; by felling it at any Price, however extravagant. But toufe Force by compel- ling Men to fubmit to the Buyer’s Price in- ftead of the Owner’s, without a legal Pro- cefs,is a Thing as unreafonable as tis fub- verfive of the Liberty of Individuals. But to the Honour of the mercantile Gentle- men of the Town, it muft be acknowledged they have thewn a moft laudible and be- nevolent Difpofition ; that, while they had Opportunity to draw all the Wealth of the Province into their Hands, they willingly rejected -it, fcarcely making a reafonable Profit by vending their Corn they import- ed. And it muft feem ftrange to an im- partial Mind, that any Man fhould deviate from fo fair and worthy an Example, by raifing the Price of what the P oor only are under a Neceffity to procure. Iknow there are many Apologies mada in Favour of fucha Meafure, which, a* they contradi€t our plainefiNotions of Juftice, it will be needlefs for me to pretend to an- {wer. But fuppofing there may be fome Excufe for making a large Advance on fu-! perfluousCommodities that noBody is forc’d to buy, as Rum, Cambrics, &c.. Yet no Perfon can think, with a clear Confcience, "us lawful to extort from the Poor, many. of whom will be reduced to the fad Dilem~. ma, either to ftarve or be ruin’d. Portfmouth, May 18. 1762.
