minstration and, in 1872 the second year of Whig
administration, is submitted to the sober considera
ton of our readers:
Pork, per barrel $40 90 Sll 90
Hay, per ton 10 90 90
Iron boomers IS 90 As 90
Wool, per pound so IS
Labor, in haying and harvest
per day 90 g.
| Under heading similar to the above, the Pitts
burgh Chronicle, neutral paper, eXclaims- Is this
the entertainment to which are invited"
We invite the Clinton county farmers coolly and
dspassionately examine the above exhibition of pri
ces and if they think that we have got the hay and
wool too low for l842 let them try markets, and
if they can get cash even at the prices above spe-
cited. Hay, Of first rate quality, has been sold IN
the Plattsburgh market this season, low SO 50
per ton
We also call the particular attention of the laborng
classes Of the community to the present reduced prices
of labor and the distressing scarcity of money and
more especially do we invite their attention to the
present state of affairs of those who were deluded
and led asray by the Wig cry in 1910 and made to
believe that about these days the poor laborer would
get his "two dollars day and roast beef" AS for
money, the Wing orators, choristers, and musicians
promised, if Tip and Ty were elected, that il would
be as thick blackberries plenty toads af-
ter shower Tip and Ty were elected; but the
money has come up missing we have of it
he rich and poor for upon a level. Beef is
plenty and cheap but is, like all other provisions,
cash article, and the rich and poor alike have to do
without it..
But it would be doing President Tyler injustice to
'impue to him the least fault for the suffering cond-
ton of the country He has done all on his part for
the last eight months, that in his power to have
a Wing Congress do something to relieve the coun-
try He has called upon them to regulate the currency
and pass discriminating tariff, which would restore
confidence and give new impulse to every branch
of industry in the country But they have been deaf
| ofipS nd cd hair ho1o
gies to the single object of heading Capt. Tyler"
without even attempting seriously to do any thing to
save their sinking country from its downward course
| And what has been the consequence, SO far as the
President and the Wing members of Congress are
concerned, We answer that the President has, dur
| ing the crusade carried on against him by Wing
Congress, constantly and steadily rose in the estima-
ton of the people; while his prosecutors have been
daily sinking nAhe good opinion of every man in the
country housing set OF politicians, whose des-
! TIMES are linked with the Wing party and who want
to see the disgraceu and fraudulent scenes of 1910
acted over again IN 1874.
Was there ever a set of men more deuded and
humbugged than many of our farmers and poor
laborers by the leading Federal Wings in the polit-
cal campaign of lS403 No, never! What saw our
manufacturers, and particularly the manufacturers of
iron on the Saranac, the Sweden and Russia of
America In 1889 dealers in iron received in
cash SS5 90 per delivered the wharf in Platts
burgh In 1S42 the second year of the reign of the
Wing orators and CnOrlSterS OF lS4U the manufac-
turers of iron in this region cannot get $40 20 per
ton
The ill-gained Wing victory of 1910 was ca
lamity to every interest in the country The moment
the battle was over and the victory won the Federal
leaders in Congress- instead of turning their attention
to the financial condition of the country, and the de-
pressed and anguishing state of manufacturing es
adjustments, entered from the mark, into scramb
for Office, to the great detrimen of the public busl
ndss, and kept up the annoyance and disgrace of
the country, till Captain Tyler put veto on their
selfish and mschievous designs, by eecting from his
Cabinet and councils Granger, Ewing, and Bell, the
Dantons, Murats, and RobespIerre's that his prede
