It is these officials and1 other "proletarians',' who were clever enough or fortunate enough to obtain positions of responsibility, under thV' pew -regime, who' are the customers of our "dealers'5 , in old; things- - Nevertheless their 1 ^patronage would not be sufficient to keep the many "dealers" in business. There is another set of customers to, help them�the peasants.
In the last few years villages became swamped with money. Notwithstanding all the excesses and ravages of the [QN^V nQfLllffi4 Qf. past few yearsr the peasant always
9/f *>arnur8X 31* Urought his corn to the city and has
always been able to obtain exorbitant ''prices, in the shape of millions of paper roubles, which he did not know how to use. These countless millions of paper money, which the Red government keeps on printing, find their way, to a very large extent, into the village. The needs of the average peasant are infinitesimal, and he quickly- stores away plenty of paper money which he cannot use. The Kussian peasant produces all his own needs, even spokes to his wheels and candles for his light. What need has he for the city? It is so much better in the village. While the city is\ dependent on the village, the village needs none of the city and can get along without it.
The peasant, coming to town, his pockets full of paper roubles, manages to exchange the paper for something substantial. He will buy anything and everything�nothing can be too expensive for him. It has become a new mania for hrm to acquire the discarded luxuries of the' city folks. He will spend 'thousands for velvet.clothes, stylish furniture, mirrors and pianos, tn fact, he would much rather get things like these in exchange for his product than the useless stacks of .paper money.- It is thus that the city gives up its remnant of comfort and the luxury of modern life for the primitive Wants jof the new Russian order.' To, be sure, the peasant acquiring all these modern luxuries, knows not what to do with it, and he iwill keep these articles piled up in his aingy hovel for no purpose and with no real use, but he will keep on gaiing at the pretty things, and occasionally put on a silk or velvet cloak, the like of which was never inthe fondest dreams of his serf ancestors who tilled the soil before him and never hoped or expected to see the "day," of the peasant's glory.
As far as Jews are concerned, who hitherto formed the bulk of the- town population, it Is their personal property that mostly findsits way to the Russian -peasant. ' x
It is a pitiful sight to see theiines of Women belonging'to families of mer-' chants, former;manufacturers, teachers and professois, sWvering with cold arid offering to sell their discarded clothes and furniture to farmers' wives, who sit on their old-fashioned vehicles, inspect with a critical''eye the.wares offered for sale, and poke fun at the poor "aristocracy," now reduced to a condition of subservience to the. new ruling class. The peasants' wives, dressed ia the Snery of another class, . make them feel that the world has gone topsy-turvy.
