The Calamity Howlers.

Long ago the Tribune predicted that so soon as the prices of farm products advance, those who wept copious tears over the farmers’ calamities would begin a new series of wailing over the high prices “of the necessaries of life.” Our prediction is true already. They mourned over the low prices of wheat and hung their harps on the willows in sore distress; now they will wail louder than ever over the high prices of flour and com and pork. — New Albany Tribune
