ducts of the country :

The present policy Of the general government
in financial affairs is more nearly right, at this mo-
ment than it has been for ten years past, yet the
probability remains that General Harrison will be
elected, and Mr. Van Burca defeated, because the
price Of wheat, and cotton, and wool has fallen eff
from the range Of former years. Song and hard
cider may affect the loafers without wives, and
office seekers without breeches-but prices touch
the pocket, and the pocket touches a that vi
brates to the breast, among all calm, thinking, and
rejecting men with wives and children.
The revulsion in the prices Of agricultural pro-
duce is producing political revolution in the coun-
try-in the same way that the revulsion in money
matters produced a political change in New York,
and all CONNIE rci al towns in 1887.

fessor Robinson, il was said expected to arrive

done, it is very doubtful whether many Of the pre-

felt in consequence Of the employing Of a German
