DIFFERENCES IN PRICES.

COMPARATIVP COST OF WEARING APPAREL IN 1864 AND 1878 From th* PitA*b. r/Comjn -re al-Uaze'te

Some time ago we gave figurefi showi the differences in pi ices of various articles of proviaons, when "money WM plenty and tirmswerc good," compared with the CD6t of the same article* now Everf man and woman could appreciate the force of these figures, because they tailed exactly with the pratti al knowledge of every one who bought provisions. Below we append a comparative price list of at tides to wear, furnished tio the Phil adeiphia North-American by one of the largest dr-goods houses in the country, and which may be relied upon as accurate.

Those who clamor for inflation, which means higher prices for everything else as well as labor, should study these figures. Just think of it. There is an average reduction in the cost of these articles of from eighty to ninety per cent. It took fifty cents to buy one yard of calico in 1864. Now eight yards, or enough for a dress, can be had for the same money. And so all through the list. Now the fact to be emembered by the inflationists is, that wages go up slowly, while every article of commerce can be marked up each day and once an era of inflation entered upon, no one an tell when the end may come. It would not come short of universal distress and bankruptcy—even worse than the hard times through which we have just passed. )f the laborer car* buy to-day only double the quantity of provision* and clothing compjred with the prices of 1868, he instill the gainer direct ly—and will gain largely in an indirect way, because the business of the country is now conducted on a healthy basis, and not the result of wild and ruinous speculation. It is to the interest of all, rich and poor alike, to stick to honest money, and good times will surely come, and come to stay.

The above item of local news taken, as credited, from ti e'Indianapolis Sentinel of to-day, is respectfully referred to the Brazil Miner. Might it not confer a favor on the poor, starving fellows who have no work at any price, and who are, as it says "the pigs that are squealing through its trumpet," by publishing thi» item? When farmers, or any other class of employers need workmen, is not a hungry man, who says he cannot get work a fraud and a cheat? Farmers in Vigo county, are also in need of workmen to help them harvest their corn crop. ff 1

The Studabaker referred to in the ar ticle copied above was the tiatic canai date fur Congress in the Twelfth, or Foit Wayne congressional district. He i» quite a wealthy man, owning a bank at Bluffton. He has always been known as a very close and erly tort of man. When he went into the campaign he began throwing is money about, as was supposed, in a very reckless manner, altogether unprecedented in his history. His conduct in this regard was so unnatural, that people who knew him were dispofed to believe—60 said Hon. Wm. Fleming, Treasurer of State, during the campaign—that he had his mind. But it now appears that Mr. Studabaker was not paying caf-h for the campaign luxuiies he was dispensing with so lavish a hand. He lost his election, but he found his eld, close habits.

ONE of the queer features of the campaign in Massachusetts, which cloeed with Butler's burial, has just come to light. When Kearney came East from California he was accompanied by a pri. vate secretary, a wild-eyed blonde named Carl Brown. Brown has returned t® San Francisco, and Sunday night made a specch on the Sand Lots to the assembled hoodlums. In that speech he made the startling rtatement th»t Kearney designedly defeated Butler, by making incendiary speeclies.

This is a story worthy only to be told to the mai ines. There is no 6ort of que6 tion that Kearney did contribute, and veiy considerably too, to the defeat of itler, by his incendiary speeches. But it was not done with the design of injur ing Butler. Twin fools—for despite his boasted smartness Butler showed himself a conspicuous ass in this—they had an insane idea that the staid and sober people of Massachusetts could be bulldozed, by incendiary speeches into supporting, the Essex monstrosity. Kearney made no more incendiary speeches in Massa chusetts than he made all over the country, in California first and in other states afterwards. His 6peccheR were little, if at all, more incendiary than those delivered by Butler himself, though they possibly had the merit of sincerity whollv wanting in all the utterances of the boastful, but foolish braggart, Benatnin

THE administration is reported as in tending to investigate alleged cases of violence in the Sjuthern States, previous to and during the election, with a view to punishing the offenders. If the administration is wise it will keep out of state politics, letting the people of the several states manage their elections in their own way without any interference. It might happen that the Federal Government could in some cases recUiy wrongs perpetrated, but the principle thatelections can be regulated all over the country by a central authority in Washington is a vicious one and essentially at war with the principles on which our Government is founded. The chances of wrong being^one at Washington in attempting to regulate them are vastly greater than the likeli hood of error on the part of the several States. Therefwas enough and to spare of fedei al interference during the two disgraceful terms of Grant. There was more than enough ot fraud and violence and intimidation and wrong done then in ruling states by cousins and brothers-in-law and corrupt hangers-on. The south, saving only for the fever, is vastly more prosperous and better managed now than it was before. Besides it is right that States should attend to their own elections. The people of a State know better than an body at Wash fngton posaibly can, what is needed and what should be Uone. There cannot and must not be any further bolstering up of returning boards in any State, bv Feder al bayonets.

KEARNEY has been telegraphed to by his friends iu lifornia and implored to come home to heal dissensions in the party there. Some fellow named Wellock, it appears, has arrogated to himself dictatorial powers among his fellow

desired to heal the discontent which has sprung up during his ab»ence. He will leave Boston at once and betake himself to his wild western home. If he should leave the country with John Chinaman there would be no tears 6hed over his departure. But while he lingers at the "Hub," he 1*6 getting in his perfect work of ruining the fiatic cause which he imagint6 he is helping. Tnis is well illustrated in a dispatch from Boston, giving the particular of a convention held there last night, for the purpose of nominating a city ticket.

By the bve, it will occur to the ordinary individual that the Athens of Airerica is getting more than her share of political toil and trouble. One exciting canrass hat just closed, and now another has been commenced. But this i. a digresbion.

As already stated, a Crnvetition Was held there last night to nominate a ci ticket. An effort was made to have the convention endorse the nomination

-arney did not approve of the scheme a id, as will teaeen, was able to prevent it. ifut we let the dispatch tell the story mis-'as follows:

The ward and city committee of the Workingmen's party held a convention to-night, for the no'niinatn.n of a fulll citv ticket. It was the noisiest and most turbulent convention ever held in this city, the gaB being put out in the hall during the proceedings. Dennis Kearney made a speech, urging upon those pre»ent the necessity of the nomination of workingmen for city offices. He was interrup ed several times by delegatt-s, the majority of whom were in tavor ot Prince for mayor, several delegates goinsr so tar as to shake their fists in hia lace, inquiring why he should come lure meddling with the politics of the city. Arter some time, a full ticket was nominated, composed exclusively of working men, with David J. King, a hatter, for mayor. The Gieenbackers failed to nominate a ticket, and appointed a committee to bring in a full list of nominations on Thursday next." jv-*

THE NEXT CONGESS. Below is -given a table showing the complexion of the present Congress and of the next one. It will be seen that t» Democrats have a clear majority over all, of two votes. This will be increased bv the co-operation of several Fiatics of Democratic antecedents, and elected by Democratic votes. Men like S. S. Cox, of New York, and William D. Kelley of Pennsylvania, who have belonged respectively to the Democratic and Republican parries for years, and are at present members of Congress, have beet placed in their proper places as Democrats and Republicans. The Democratic majority is not a large one, but it amply sufficient to secure the organization of the Houce and pass all measures upon which the party is a unit. The table is believed to be accurate. Anv changes which are likely to be made in it will be more apt to be in favor of than Against the Democrats. The table is a6 follows:

TWO SIDES OF THINGS. Comparatively poor people see plenty of the dark side of human nature. Nobody cares much what they think and what they oay, and the Consequence is that those who are brought in contact with them, place little, if any, restraint upon their conduct. A weli-to-do individual will, when brought face to face with one of his humble fellow creatures, often use language of the most improper caracter, and display decided sourness of temper, but when he is thrown across the path of one who is higher up in the world than he is himself, he suddenly be' comes cautious and talks only that which might safely.be enunciated in the most tarched-and-ironed drawing room in the land, and assumes a demeanor which would lead an on-looker to the conclusion that his disposition partakes largely of that of the sweetest of cherubs. He must, indeed,v be a thorough-going popularity hunter who deems it worth while

to go to any pains to conciliate the favor of persons who a:e in a struggling condition. Those, it is said, who decline to do this must be credited with the possesi.ion.of the very soundest common sense, for what is the utility of ingratiating one's self in the good graces of thofce who are not in a condition to do anything for one? Under these circumstances it is only nitura! that poor people should come to regard life from a sombre int of view, and b» le 1 to form an unfavorable estimate of human nature. What makes the case so bad as it

ifis

not

that they only see the worst side—which is probably the real one— of the people whom they are called upon to meet during the course of their lives, but they are shown but little of anvthin^ of the cood. Even those who consent to befriend them are in the habit of doing so in such nn ungracious manner that it is a wonder the donors do not frt quentl set their grudgingly be-towed gifts throwu back in their faces. The re cepients of favors such as those just re ferred to receive an infinitesimal amount of notice from the gang ol beneac tors /-'to :'f- their speciesVr who are roaming about the world seeki g, not whom they may devour, but whose lives they may lighten and relieve by the charm of their extremely delight ful company. These generojs-hearted beings could not think of devoting them selves to those who could not give them any rquivalent in return for what they do, for this would be lading people under, an obligation, which is the la&t thing that, true to their considerate interests' they would ever think of doing, unless there was a more than reasonable probability that the same would be wiped off along with the compound interest which has accumulated thereon, at a no very distant date.

And yet the times are perfectly frightful. It is 6ad, is it not In the old flush times the ground would have probably been worth $50 per acre, and would have borne 300 bushels of potatoes, of course, instead of only 150 per acre. If on that land -otne eastern capitalists should have a mortgage for half its value, which is $12 50 per acre, drawing ten per cent, interest, which is ju6t $1.25 per acre, the\ would be sapping the very li.e out of the hard working owner, who, with all dt his labor on it, gets only $75 in value in one season out of ground worth $25 per acre. Don't tell the Brazil Miner about the hard luck of this poor, trodden dow.i old farmer, or it will have another fit.—[Terre Haute Gazette.

He has iled in the aliove article, however, to maae his point.

It is gratifying to the GAZETTE to observe that its contemporary admits the prosperity of the farming communitv, His attention is directed to the fact that fully sixty per cent of the total population of this country is engaged in agricultural pursuits. If the farmers, then, are reasonably prosperous, more than half of the people J^are not enveloped in a "business gloom denser than a London fog and capable of being cut into cubes ann laid like bricks," as the Miner described the sit uation a few weeks ago. Instea of being in a fog the farmers are living in a bright and genial sunshine.1

We wish now to ask the Minei some questions with a view of determining to what class belongs

uthe

pig that is tqueal-

ing through its trumpet" and what it is squealing about. And first of all the attention of the Miner is directed to an article copied from the Pittsburg Dispatch which can be found at the head of the editorial columns of this issue of the GAZETTE. It will be kept standing there until the Miner and papers like it, which take a gloomy view of life, have learned by heart the important lesson it teaches. If the Miner wil publish it, such publication will establish its reputation for fairness and fearless ne6S. The article gives the comparative cost of certain staple articles of wearing apparel and hodse furnishing goods in

1864.

and

1878.

1878

It will be seen

that these staples can be bough: in the ••foggy"

at less than one-third the

prices paid for them in the "flush" 1864 A few weeks ago the GAZETTE published a table giving the prices of certain staple articles of provisions in

1864

and

1S78.

They told the same story. Will the Miner declare that the wages paid now in any trads ar® not mord than one third as much as they were in

1864,

or at any-

previous time in the historv of tbi6 coun try? Is it not true, then, that if wages have not declined as much, during a given period, as the necessaries of life, that those who work for wages are better off than they were at the specified time? Is it not plain, therefore, that all whj

work for wage* and who have wotk to do are better off now than they wrre in

1S64.

which i* generally taken as the time when this country was at its flood of prosperity If this be so, then all people are better off now than they were in 1864. Will the Minor please point out th fallacy in this leasoning

As to the unemployed—the people who want work, are willing to work, and cannot get work—they appear to be a class abiut which there

every

variety

of misstatement. Sam Carv was in the habit of saving during the summer that there was any where from one to five million of idle men in this country, according to the way in which Samuel's dinner sat on his stomach. He never argued the question and never introduced a ptrticlc of evidence. B. Franklin Butler was another gentleman who flung vast armies of idle and starving laborers at the heads of his iearers, without one particle of proof outside of his very much-to-be-doubted word, As a matte. of tact there is no reason in the world fo believing that the number of idle men is unusually large. The number ot acres of land under cultivation this year wa6 greater than it ha» ever been. That means more laborers. The mills have been unusually busy. That means more n.en at work. In handling this large crop the railroacs have been extraordinarily active That means more men'. The

Miner will confer a favor by mentionina sii.gle industry, excepting only the manufacture of iron, which has not been more than ordinarily active this season Does not this activity'in every branch of business refute the idea that there can be many idle men in this country We suggest that the Miner di op the domain of romance and give the figures showing the number of men employed at any time in the past in the leading industries of Clay cou ity, and the number employed now. We venture the preciction that even in Oay county, where some of the papers never speak of capitalists without calling them Shylocks, there are as many men at work now as there ever were in the history of the country, and that the wages paid will buy more of the necessaries of life than they ever would. Now let the Miner demolish the GA ZETTK by giving athentic figures.
