It should come down.
--What should come down! Why, rents. They are too high, by a large amount, and ought to be reduced to a ‘"war footing"’ Property and labor have largely depreciated in value, and business in almost every department is stagnant, while all the necessaries of life have become scarce, and increased in price correspondingly. Rents should be reduced for the sake of equality. If for nothing else. Surely landlords cannot expect their tenants to pay the same rents now that they did when business was active and all things prosperous--Atlanta Confederacy.
