[The Promised Land by Mary Antin]@TWC D-Link bookThe Promised Land CHAPTER I 61/69
But why? Did not the Gentiles know the reason? Did they not know what price we had to pay for the air we breathed? If a Jew and a Gentile kept store side by side, the Gentile could content himself with smaller profits.
He did not have to buy permission to travel in the interests of his business.
He did not have to pay three hundred rubles fine if his son evaded military service.
He was saved the expense of hushing inciters of pogroms.
Police favor was retailed at a lower price to him than to the Jew.
