Another buying ten pounds of coffee at fifteen cents per poifod for $. 50, received six pounds, making twenty-five, cents per pound for rsme. The purchaser pays five cents freight per pound on 800 pounds,, which cost the shipper about $8 or $10, which nets them a net profit of f0 alone. They pay twenty per eent, to the agent who; sells for them. i . The farmers, and among the best in tbe county, have come to Tiffin in numbers and received their put up packages, not knowing what they wire paying for, and sending the good money which rightfully belonged to tho merchants and grocers at home to these traveling frauds who take their money, and possibly leave only enough to pay for their dinner. It it contended that the firm selling these goods has taken already from J 4,000 to $6,000 out of the county, in return for pos sibly $1,500 to $2,000 worth of poor groceries.
