The Daily Dispatch: August 13, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Price of wood. (search)
rofit of $25.50 per cord. If this was so you ought to have marked the passage with twenty instead of three points of admiration. What it costs a farmer or wood chopper to put wood on the canal boats I do not know, but presume it cost twice $9.50 from the fact that I have an advertisement in your paper of this date offering to pay $16 per cord to haul wood six miles from town to my office on the basin bank, and have not yet had one offer to do so, although the advertisement has been in the paper one week. Another fact is that I pay from $27 to $28 per cord for oak wood at my yard on the basin bank, pay $4 to haul it out, 87½ cents per cord tax to the C. S. Government, 35 cents to the State, in all $33.22½, whilst I see the same delivered to customers as $34, leaving to me only 78 cents per cord profit to pay yard rent, ($400,) clerk's hire, and to support a large family. If this is extortion, then the Devil help others, for I am sure God will not. Richmond, August 12th, 1863.
