If you examine the rest of the quote, it becomes clearer,

“I mean this town. They’re perfectly willing to let him do what they’re too afraid to do themselves-it might lose ‘em a nickel. They’re perfectly willing to let him wreck his health doing what they’re afraid to do, they’re-”

Aunt Alexandra is referring to the town asking Atticus to defend Tom Robinson and then torturing him.
