Prospect of Prices of Western Agricultural
Products.

AS over-production and reduction oil
the currency have reduced the price OF
most manufactured commodities, and steam
is now employed on the prairles TO drive
the plough, it would be very strangeit agrl-
cultural products (pork excepted) did not
also decline in price. The cash received
for bushel of wheat will now purchase
in this village, 10 lbs. of good Rio coffee,
or 90 lbs of inferior N. O. Sugar. A
pail Of butter will exchange for bundle
Of domestic calico and muslin, as large in
bulk as the butter itself.-Ought farmers
to expect this unequal exchange OF com
modlties to continue so much IN their ia
vor always? | think not.
Flour is now selling in New York at Sc
the barrel to export to England; ii Great
Britain has good crops this year, and there
is 90 failure of crop on the continent oil
Europe, nothing can prevent very low Pr-
ces for flour in New York in one year from
thus time, but failure Of our own wheat
crop, which is improbable, or partial
failure Of our summer crops, which, from
present appearances, is very possible. In
either case farmers must expect and pre-
pare themselves for small profits, as high
prices from failure Of crops is calamity,
which compels even the farmer TO eat dear
food. 1t is common for farmers to com
plain Of the low price Of wool, yet wool is
much lower in Europe than in the United
States; the English manufacturer gets fine
wool from the continent for % cents ID.
while our manufacturers pay our own far
mers 40 cts. for wool of like grade. The
fact is, what is low price to an cytrava-
giant, expensive man or family, is a high
price to those whose wants are fewer, VINO
practice better industry, economy and
sclf-denial In this reduction of profits,
and the consequent means Of expenditure,
who does not see precious result, even to
the Farmer? Ask a thriving, wealthy
American lord Of the soil what are his
troubles; if he IS honest, he will tell you
it is the effemna,e habits and expensive
wants of his children. With uninterrupl-
ed pecuniary success, where would these
troubles end. S. w.

The Chinese Gardeners.-The most
perfect gardeners in the world are to be
found in China. They have experiment.
ed with SO much accuracy, that they exceed
all the world besides in their cultivation.
They neglect nothing. All sort Of hair
are used as manure, and BARRIERS shavings
are carefully appropriated to that purpose.
The annual produce must be conside rabe

Of heads are kept constantly shaved. In
the case Of every thing except rice, the Chi
nese seem rather TO manure the plant itself
than the soil, supplying it copiously with
their liquid preparation.

PILLS.

EWVHESE Pills raise from the greatest
M weakness, distress and suffering, %
a state Of strength, health and happiness.
Tie name Of these pills originated from the
circumstance of the medicine being found
only in the cemeteries Of Persia.
1t is now settled point with all who
have used the Vegetable Persian PILLS,
that they are pre-cminently the best and
most efficacious FAMILY Medicine that
has yet been used in America If every
family could become acquainted with their
Sovereign power over disease, they would
keep them and be prepared with sure
Remedy to app y on the first appearance
of disease, and then how much distress
would be avoided and money saved, rs
we'll as lives of thousands who are hurried
out OF time by neglecting disease to its first
stages, or by not being in possession Of a
remedy which they can place dependence
on o. All who wish to guard against
sickness, should use the Persian Pills free
ly, when needed: no injury can ensue, if
used from youth to old age, when taken
according to the directions. IN
The admirable effect Of this compound
upon the human system, led physicians
and families into its general use. Their
long established character, their universal
and healing virtues, their detergent and
cleansing qualities, Of their specfcal ac-
ton upon the glandular part Of the system
are such as will sustain their reputation
and general use in the American Rcpub-
lie.

A WORD TO THE PEOPLE.

''The ruin or prosperity of a nation depends SO
much upon the administration OF It's Government,
that, to be acquainted with the merit OF ministry,
we need only observe the condition OF the People.
IL we see them prosperous in their industry, united
at home, and respected abroad, we may reasonably
presume that their affairs are conducted by men OF
experience abilities and virtue. IT, on the contrary,
we see an universal spirit of distrust and dlssas
faction rapid decay of trade dissensons in all parts
of the nation and total loss of respect iii the eyes
Of foreign powers, may pronounce, without hcsl-
taton that the government of that country is weak,
distracted, and corrupt
The above eloquent remarks of Junius are not less
true at this day than they when that scourge Of
a corrupt and imbecile government penned them
as worthy the attention of the people Of the United
States at this time as they then, of the people of
Great Britain whose lust indignation was reused by
his powerful pen against the corruptions of profit
gate ministry. We, therefore, call upon the people
of this country to ponder them well they are the
language of who spared not those who sat in high
places and welded power; one who made the KING
tremble and his ministers to quake with fear.
If, them the condition of the people be just critic
rion of the merit of wise government, what are we
to think of those who delegated by the people to
assemble at the nations Capitol, and control the des
TIMES of this Republic Will any man, of either
political party, of political party, undertake to
affirm that the people of this country prospe-
rous in their industry, united at home, and respected
abroad; :" On the contrary, can any one deny the
existence of universal spirit of distrust and dis
satisfaction rapid decay Of trade, dssenson in all
parts Of the nation and loss, if not total loss
of respect in the eyes Of foreign powers I" If not
then we may pronounce, without hesitation, that
the Congress, if not corrupt and distracted is at least
Indifferent and no longer entitled to the confidence
and support Of their much injured constituents.
Our public affairs have come to such pass that i
is the duty of the press, the shield of liberty and its
trues friend in all ages and countries to speak bolc
and fearless language and of the people whose
rights and interests are dsregarded and trampet
upon by those whom they have elevated to the seat
of power to speak also in those tones of superiort
and independence which become men who know thei
rights, and knowing dare maintain them; who no
only feel their dignity reemen, but duly appreciate
their obligation not to suffer any false Representative
TO diminish the noble inheritance of freedom whic
they now enjoy and are bound to transmit to poste
rity unimpaired
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-02-02

Such course would be unjust not only to
them, but to the inhabitants Of this city But
the injustice is still greater, TO condemn the
numerous officers in the Departments TO wait
till the month of June or July, before they re-
ceive the compensation which their labors have
sacrifice in order 10 meet their daily liabilities.
Nor do we wish 10 hurry the action of Congress
on any measures which require mature delibe-
ration. We will not dispute the propriety of a
minute scrutiny of every item Of estimates sent
by the Departments TO the House of Represen-
tatives. But yet the laws ought TO be passed in
time TO authorize the payment of money when
it has been earned.
The remedy for the evil we proposed some
time since The fiscal year now commences
with the civil year on the first Of January-and
appropriations are made for the service of each
year As Congress meets IN the beginning of
December, il is impossible 10 mature and pass
the appropriation bills by the first Of January.
The remedy we proposed is very simple. 1t is
TO commence the fiscal year on the first of July,
and make the appropriations for the year com
mencing on that day. We hope TO see Con,
gress adopt this plan.
Our attention has been drawn to this subject
by several communications, complaining Of the
delay in acting on the appropriation bills. BY
these remarks, we hope we have satisfied our
correspondents on this topic.
