The Pablo Meeting to be held this afternoon IN the
Park a, o'clock, is, we believe only The hss.nn@
of general movement of inquiry into the causes OF
the present exorbant prices every necessary OF lie
and the best means of discovering remedy If re-
medy can be discovered. II is flour meeting-a
fuel meeting-a rent meeting-a food meeting-a
bread meeting-every kind of meeting except po
ltcal meeting.
About two months ago, the merchants were on the
eve of like general movement, 10 inquire into the
causes Of the high interest and exchanges They had
not the moral courage, however, TO come forward III
the face of the banks and usurers. Soon after that
abortion the master mechanics whose discounts were
reduced and price Of shaving increased also made
preparations for meeting-but they also We're c-
fenced and shrunk from the responsibility fthe array
The usurers spectators and extortioners went on in
their career Not satisfied with doubling interest and
quadruptng exchange, they have increased the abso-
late necessares of life-four fuel food rent, until
hunger, cold, thirst and starvation compel men to
throw of their lethargy-to FORTH en- rnasse, to
take into deep consideration the condition of the
times.
This is not, therefore, meeting of any particular
class-t is meeting ofshe 1ollole body Of merchants,
mechanics, ia6orers, acorking men, drawn together to
consist on the high prices Of nterest-the high prices
of exchangethe high prices of fiour-the high prices
of fuel-the high prices of rent-and indeed, on the
causes which have, during the last two or three years
altered the of exchangeable value nearly one
III Oh
never before accomplished in the history flhe world
This is not meeting of politicians and SPECTATORS,
for we believe to the rascally politicians both wing
and democrat wendebted for the terrible exactons
and high prices fiving country, rich and fertile
beyond any otherin the world.
We trust, therefore, that this meeting may be con-
Quoted with ORDER decorum, and intelligence through
out Let reason, knowledge and common sense be
the guide. Its magnitude and importance never have
been surpassed. 1t is question of life against death
of hunger and cold against avarce and usury-of
common sense against party pohcs-of protection
against the arts of the specuaor politician and extor
toner. Let every measure and every movement be
conducted within the limits Of existing law. If our
present laws corrupt bad injurious they can only
be amended in illegal way. Let there be no riot-no
mob-no breaking of the peace. Every principle and
pie in this movement Let no disturbance be created
to call forth the legal authorities against you.
Heaven is with you-be not afraid--be firm, persever-
ing, determined and prudent. Let committee be APP
pointed to investigate the true causes of the present
terrible state of things Hear every opinion-let
flood Of light be poured on the whole subject The
people Of this cythe people af this country are ripe
fer some great change. Revolution is in the bud and
the spring will bring it forth.
The SUBSCRIPTION fills up apace. The ladies have
now taken up our cause against the Clinton Hall As
sociaton, and they pouring in their cents and six
pences upon MS, like a flood tide Before we have
doue, we shall give the Association few lessons in
morality that they will not soon forget. The follow
ing note is only specimen of the many we received
on Saturday
New YoRK, Feb. IL, 1897.

rents, food, fuel &c. Also we send you pay for two
subscriptions TO your fund, Of ST cents each.

Most devoutly do / thank Miss Mary and Miss

pences and after gazing them with pleasure, kissed
them--most fervcnty kissed them and then put them
into my pocket, there remain till the Association
be taught their duty
The fsnd is now nearly SO. Think Of that! One
half Of subscrbedby the fair ladies' Think Of that!
BAcHELoRs' BALLs.-Two bachelors balls are now
under way-one at Niblos, by the successors of the
committee, of which / was unworthy member
and the other a, Tammsny Hall, by younger party
Both to be celebrated tomorrow night.
In taking a walk up Broadway, on Saturday after
neon to enjoy the fresh air and stretch my legs lit
tie, l fell in with friend, who tapped me on the
shoulder just as / was nearly opposite Niblo's At
first thought it was an officer with subpoena, and
started. :" Hows the money market2" said he
How're fashionable boarding schools2 How're the
seamstrssses7 Hows Maria Monk7 How're rents7
How's every thing7'
smiled at the multitude and frequency of his qucs-
tons.
Without waiting for reply, he took me by the arm
/" Come along-I'll show you something special
something thatwill astonsh you-something that you
are not prepared to expect"
consented-I entered Nblo's-I received Niblo's
Jemy's bowl entered the ball rsom, and lo and
behold there stood up, like petr6cd philosopher
or saint in alabaster.
OF all the decorated ball rooms that we have ever
seen, that OF Nblo's preparing for tomorrow night 10

gnnt-ths mos, exquisite The whole apartment il
