Are We Verging Upon Revolution?

/ Is Tt*not a remarkable circumin this land of plenty ; and saloon alter reaping an immense harvest people should be suffering for bread? Only a month has passed Since, al the suggestion of bur President, a day was universaUy observed by the people of the United Str.tes as a season of thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God for His many blessings to us as a pec pie during the past year, prominent among which was a bountyful harvest that had filled the land with an abundance for man and his domestic animals.— Scarcely have the triumphant notes of gladness ceased to issue from costly organs and chase the echoes from carved pillars, down carpeted aisles, and over softly cushioned seats, in the gorgeous churches whtre meek and humble worshippers come cloth'-d in elegant silks and fine broadcloths to lift up fcontnte hearts in devout adoration to Deity for the loving kindness which places the good things of life within reach of the families of stock and gold gamblers, national bank officers, railroad kings, protected manufacturers, high government officials, members of congress, editors and proprietors of city journals that receive government patronage or are subsidized by capitalists, and of popular ministers whose characters are like gilded tombs —scarcely have these people digested their stuffed tnrkey and recovered from the exhileration of the champaign with which their dinners were swallowed, than a piteous wail for bread comes from the famishing thousands next street.

Congressional committees consume hour after hour trying to devise ways to furnish cheap transportation to Eastern markets for the surplus products of the West. Meetings of producers are held in various parts of the country, to try and solve the same great problem. Newspapers and wise men throughout the land have turned their attention to unraveling this vexing riddle, and discussions of it are heard on every side. There is more meat and breadstuff in the great Mississippi valley than people know what to do with, yet from the midst of this abundance the cry of thousands comes up that they are starving, though surrounded by vast store houses literally bursting apart with their weight of pork, beef, flour and grain. They can get no employment, and have no money to buy the food they actually need, and which begs, a market. At Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Chicago immense meetings were held last week by people thrown out of employment and without money, who came to discuss how they are to live through the winter. Each of these meetings was attended by thousands who said they were pressing closely upon the verge of starvation. What cause has produced this condition of suffering? Who are to blame for it? What is the remedy, and how should it be applied? Something must be done speedily to relieve this distress else there will be riot and bloodshed, for people cannot long endure starvation. Such immense demonstrations are not prompted by mere curiosity, but a more powerful and relentless force is behind. These men are not the class who meet to make speeches, pass resolutions and nominate candidates for office. No trivial or ordinary occasion will bring them together in such numbers as attended these meetings. They are men commencing to get hungry; people whose children begin to cry for bread; men whose wives are becoming faint and sick from fasting; they are industrious poor people who are refused work and have no money with which to pay rent or buy clothing, fuel and food. They met to counsel with one another and discuss what they shall do under the circumstances. American laboring classes are better educated than their European cousins; they reason more and act less from impulse; they feel they have a voice in making and executing the laws, consequently they hold them in more sacred respect. But hunger and civilization do not flourish together. The disposition of hunger is much the same the world over, whether it is exemplified in man or beast Ferocity w its companion wherever it dwells. Civilization makes men slow to commit violence, but starvation is more powerful than civilization, and when it goads its victims to madoew their fury is demoniacal

Large numbers of men will not starve to death within reach of food without struggling for life. Such meetings as those held last week in the cities which may be called national granaries and pork houses, are gathering clouds that may presage terrific storms.

It is not meet for Congressmen to wrangle long in order to secure themselves prinqely salaries when tax-payers want bread. It is not right for the President of a democratic republic to be. paid five dollars an hour, while the wives and children of those who elected him are starving. Capital must harken to the appeals of Labor for food when pinching times prevail in the midst ot plenty, if it would rest secure among its possessions. If. wealthy monopolies in America, which have grown up under the fostering care of tariff laws and all manner of special legislation, now mean to refuse work at living wages to the poor man whom they have deceived with specious sophisms about the benefits and constant, liberal wages which a protective policy would assure him, let them collect their valuables and find a safe retreat until the storm breaks and spends its ungovernable fury. Bread meetings are sometimes forerunners of bread riots. Bread riots under circumstances now prevailing here in the West may indicate either that Capital is unjust towards Labor, that unwise statesmanship disturbs the relations of society, that the administration of government is profligate or corrupt, or that there is a combination of these evils afflicting the people.— The trouble may be corrected by reformation or revolution. In a republic, reformations can usually be effected through the ballot box; but bread riots are often indications of approaching revolution. Are we verging upon such a calamity?

Beet Sugar-Making.

It is said that the importations of sugar into the United States last year, exceeded the amount expoi ted to the value of more than eighty millions of dollars. A vast sum Surely to be taken out of the country and paid into foreign coffers for one article alone! And if there is any means that can be devised to prevent the outflow of this great stream of money, it certainly would be worthy of the attention of our greatest statesmen. Eighty millions of dollars would go far towards building an immense trippie track railway from the eastern seaboard into the heart of the Mississippi valley, and afford a partial solution of the vexing problem of cheap transportation for Western grain, cattle and pork, and for Eastern manufactured goods. Or, if used to establish manufactories at the South and West, eighty millions of dollars a year would in ten years forever settle the transportation question, and at the same time would more thoroughly develop the material resources of these sections than has been done since the days of creation. For the last six or seven years France, Prussia and Austria, in no more favorable climate and with no better soil than the United States, have imported no sugars, but have been supplied with that made from beets grown in their own fields, and which was manufactured by their citizens In domestic factories. The example of these states is being rapidly followed by Russia, Hollahd, England and the inhabitants of bleak Denmark and Sweden. If sugar beets can be grown to advantage in Europe, so tMt they become the source of great national savings, why would it not be well for Americans to turn their attention to this crop? At Northampton, Massachusetts, and Fon du Lac and Black Hawk, Wisconsin, indeed, the cultivation of beets for sugarmaking was tried and the experiment pronounced a failure; but at Freeport, Illinois, and at Sacramento and Alvarado, California, better success has attended this industry. The smallest of these manufactories has capacity for working fifty tons of beets daily; and a million and a half pounds of beet sugar were made in California last season. European beet sugar making, with its satisfactory results, has all grown up in about thirty years; while the experiments in this country have been made since the war of rebellion. Should the experiments in the United States prove as successful as those in countries across the Atlantic ocean, some of the present readers of this paper may live to see the time when Cuban civil wars will not materially effect the price of sugars in this country; and when instead of sending eighty millions of dollars out of the country annu-

ally for this commodity alone, there will be a yearly influx of as large sum derived fiom exports of beet sugar to loreign markets. And should beet culture be found profitable in Illinois, this new industry may in a few years bring manufacturing establishments into Jasper county, to help people it, a»d help develop the natural fertility of its many thousand uncultivated acres.

Hon. Jasper Packard, Representative in Congress tor our District, thus far this session has shown a disposition to attend more closely to the interests of his constituents than he has exhibited at any other period in the five years he has been at Washington. Although Mr. Packard is capable of very small, contemptible tricks, and although his conscienciousness was weaker than his avarice when he voted for the salary-grab act last winter, yet should he labor zealously this winter for the best interests ol his district and for the welfare of the nation generally, it ought and will go far towards mollifying those who have felt outraged and disgraced by the former weakness and dishonesty of their representative. Mr. Packard shonld be encouraged by all good people to perfect the reformation he has so well begun. Isaac Farneinan, who beat Gen. Milroy lor Treasurer of Carroll county, has been fined S3OO and sentenced to the penitentiary_jor. three years, for failing to turn over the county funds to his successor in office.

A telegram to the Inter- Ocean from Metamora, Ills., on the 20th, furnishes the following item concerning parties who were well known in this locality a few years 1 since: Thejuryinthe Workman murder case, after being out about an hour, brought in their verdict of not guilty. Intense excitement was manifested. The defendant, emaciated to a skeleton, lank and tall, with black clothes on, her eves wild with excitement, ■ raised her gaunt, bony hands and : exclaimed: “Glory to God! glory to : God! glory hallelujah! hallelujah to the blessed Lord! blessed be Jesus, my Savior! God be praised! God bless my i attorneys! I am poor, but I have a ; Father, and he is rich! God bless the I officers and the jailer for their kindI ness! God bless them! bless Jesus, he I has been my Savior since 1851, and ; He is with me yet,” and so she kept I on waving her arms, while the voice ; of the Sheriff in adjourning court was ■ lost. In the scene that followed the ' greatest excitement and sympathy ; were manifested, the* jurymen and I many of the audience shedding tears. The remarks of the counsel for the : defense brought tears to more than one eye. The prisoner was led from the room by her husband. was deeply affected. This city has, in round numbers, ■ fifty drug stores. These fifty drug stores sell to habitual opium eaters i from four to six ounces per week. ' Call the average five, and we have five times fifty, which makes two hundred and fifty ounces- Fifty-two weeks in the year, makes fifty-two 'times two hundred and fifty, which , makes thirteen thousand ounces. An ounce contains four hundred and : thirty-seven grains. A grain is an ■ordinary dose. Thirteen thousand ounces make 5,681,000 grains. Five million six hundred and eighty-one thousand doses of crude opium is swallowed in the city of Indianapolis every year. I Morphine is opium in a condensed form, and is used more by females than males, because it has no offensive smell. Doctors prescribe from one-eighth to a quarter of a grain for a dose. Call the average dose a quarter of a grain. Our fifty drug stores sell annually, one million two hundred and forty-eight thousand grains. Four doses to the grain, makes four million nine hundred and ninety-two thousand doses. A grain of morphine under certain circumstances is sufficient to produce death. From two to five grains will kill almost anyone who is not habituated to the use of it. So, it is a plain case that if 497,000 of the citizens of the State of Indiana who have never used morphine were to resolve to consume in que day the amount used in yTiidianapblTs in one. year, we would !oh that day have 497,000 suicides.— : Indianapolis Herald.

A Magnificent Air-Castle.

.The Chicago & South Atlantic Railroad Company, (which road will- pass through our town provided the people manifest sufficent interest in the road,) and in which the bankers and railroad men of Chicago and other cities are deeply interested, contemplate building next year one of the finest depots in the country, on Market street, between Madison and Van Buren, Chicago. It is to be 300 feet long, with a return of 100 feet, and will have a Cincinnati sand-stone front. The design for the front is remarkably rich, consisting of a grand centre projection; which is to be flanked by ornamental wings. The whole will be surmounted by a Mansard roof. The centre dome will be finished off with an appropriate figure, which will be elevated 175 feet above the sidewalk. The main entrance will be 40 feet wide, having two gigantic lions on either side. The portico will be supported by six beautiful polishep granite column?, and will be surmounted by figures emblematic of the West and South. Further above will be two massive caryatides, supporting the projecting roof. The pediment will be embellished by large'figures, among the more prominent of which will be a bust of Chicago. The wings of the building are to be surmounted by neat cupolas and dormer windows. The first floor, on either side of the centre is to be devoted entirely to wholesale stores, which will be 2p feet high, 25 feet wide, and 100 feet deep. The other stories will be 16, 14,14,12, and 12 feet high, as they progress upward, and will be laid off in offices. The elliptical cross tension truss will, support the floors and roof, and the building will be heated by steam, and

furnished >ttb all the modern improvements. Back of main building, and standing parallel with the front, will be the gfeat archway, 100 feet wide and 900 feet long, through which all trains will enter and depart. It will be supported by huge buttresses, from which the concentric arches, fifty in number, will spring. Heavy projections will be the principal ornaments of the front, and the style of architecture will Jje different, ' n mat *y respects, from any that has been used in Chicago.—Crown Point Register. Is not the foregoing rather a large chicken to count before the pullet is hatched that is to lay the egg from which it is to come? Not a dollar has been collected jet to build the proposed road with, not a tie has been cut for it, the right of way is not secured, the line has not been located, and not even a preliminary survey basbeen made. If the men who are urging this project forward really mean business, and desire local aid, they will accomplish more to talk loss Buncomb and perform more actual necessary preliminary work. Talk is breath, and quite a cheap article in this country; but it takes much money and a great deal of hard work to build big railroads.

In a political sense the Commercial is Thoroughly Independent. It recognizes uo obligations to party organizations. Its sincerity in this position is popularly understood, and so largely appreciated that its subscribers and habitual purehaseia in either political party outnumber those of the party organs, and its aggregate circulation is greater than that of its competitors combined. It takes a hearty interest in the politics of Europe, which telegraphic communication has brought into very intimate relations with us, and, earnestly vindicating and sustaining the development of nationality in Germany and Italy, it cordially sympatbs with th e Republican cause in France and p aiu. The specialty of the Commercial is The News of the Day*. We spare no effort and no expense at home or abtoad, tc obtain oy telegraph, by mail and by express, the latest intelligence, and to present it in the most attractive aud authentic form Our Editorial remarks upon events, and discussions of the questions of the day, are according to our independent judgment, having always in view the efficacy of the truth in the interests of the people. We do not seek official favors or partisan p iti-’nagc. lint rely wholly upon the business that grows out of the respect'and good will of the public at large. '1 be current history of the world will possess, this winter, exceptional interest. The affairs of Europe never concerned us more closely than now. The complications in onr foreign relations, even threatening war, mist command constantly our serious considerstiuli, and the session of the American Congress about commencing, will absorb in an unusual degree the attention of the country, for the most vital and s. aiching issue’, financial and political, await piaetical solution. The daily newspaper at such a time 1 ecomes almost a necessity of life, and it is not hazardous to claim for the Cincinnati CommkrOla- that It is - THE MOST COMPLETE AND TRUSTWORTHY JOURNAL ISSUED in the Ohio Valley—the center of the population and the .-eat of the political power of the Nation. Our relations with political parties are such th it we will not be suspected of, tampering with the news in the interests ofeiihor.

JpIIYSICIANS AND DIIUGGISTS. A prominent New York physician lately complained to Dundas Dick about his Sandalwood Oil Cats-vlks, stating that sometimes they cured miraculously, but that a patient ot his had taken them lor some time without effect.
