Hon. Charles Foster has entirely lost prestige in Ohio. In a recent speech in that state he deni d that he had taken ste: s to issue bonds during the closing months of Harrison’s administration. The Times Star, of Cincinnati, a radical Re publican paper, refers to Mr. Fos. ter in the following uncomplimenary terms:

A letter is produced, written by Foster to an official in the Tieasu. ry Department, instructing him to prepare plates for a new issue ot bonds. This letter contradicts directly the statement made by Foster. But really it makes little difference wbat Foster says on this sutjeot. He is a discredited po litical quantity in of Ohio.. He seems determined, however, to push himself into politics and make himself hoard. Why the republican managers wish to pa rade him before the republican party is more than we can under stand.

“This year’s crop, (of cotton) although very light in quantity, will bring $21,000,000 more to the farmers of the South than that of two years ago.’’- Republican. At a meeting of [the knit goods manufacturers, held in this oitj, Thursday, it was decided to at once increase the price of goods from 15 to 40 per cent, according to the relative amount of wool and cotton used in their manufacture. The reason given for the adv. nee is the increased cost of cotton and wool, and it is declared that the selling price us knit goods is to bo based strictly on the cost of raw material. The manufacturers also agreed that if it were necessary to secure the increased prices, they would curtail production, oven to the stoppage of their mills —New York World. Nothing said about in increase price on account of increased pay to wage-earners. But prices will be maintained by curtailing production, and increasing idle hands. The same old trick of the trusts. Tho Republican is always on the side of tho owners of the product of labor, ard therefore has no sym pathy to waste upon the laborer.

With the Indianapolis Journal denouncing government by injunction ana the Chicago Tribune denouncing the Dingloy bill, one can not help wondering what next surprise the gold-bug press will spring this off year. Tins, however, from the ablest gold organ of th 3 west, th J Hi. Louis Globe-Democrat, rogardi g ‘ silver standard Mexico, is quite as frank and bold a confession of the truth as anything that has been allowed to creep into the columns of the Tribune or Journal in this, an off-year: “A nation which manages its financial affairs with each consummate skill as exico has displayed in the last twenty years is affected but slightly by the ordinary reverses of fortune.’—St. Louis Globe Democrat, Grid Rep. Prices are rising on articles of consumption. The trusts alone are being benefited. Judge Healy’s is thfe place for shoes—Genes',. Ladies’ and Child* ren’s. Don’t forget it.
