Condition Of Enthusiastically of Money-Plenty Of
Beef-Frices
DEAR BENNETT =
/ address you from the far .west, and propose to
give yoa few items of the news of Illinois Times
are hard enough here, not but that we have plenty
to eat and wear, but we have no money; without
any circulating medium whatever; the farmer can
not raise money to pay his taxes-he is obliged to
team his wheat from here 10 Chicago, distance Of
one hundred miles, and sell it there for the beggarly
pittance of thirty to forty cents abushe then 60 to
the broker and pay him from five fifteen per cent
to get his eastern paper exchanged for gold and sill
yer to pay his taxes. Can any say that the tar
Diers of Illinois have right to complain The
people are, however, waking up to sense OF their
situation, and will speak 10 their corrupt legs
lature in tones not to be mistaken.
The weather here the past winter has been most
severe, there is now eight inches OF snow on the
ground, fallen within the last few days, and no i'm
mediate prospect of the weather getting warmer
Below give you the price of produce
Wheat 80 85 cts Potatoes q cts Corn 10 cts ;
These are ruinous prices to the farmer.
There has been division created lately in the
democratic ranks, by the removal Of Secretary Trum
bull by Gov Ford.
We have strong hopes here that our canal will be
completed in two or three years, this will be some
relief to us.
TEMPERANCE LECTURES. MANY of the sensi-
bic and intelligent friends of the great cause of tenn
perance are beginning TO be seriously aarme by
the conduct of sundry vagabonds who are going
about giving what are called Temperance lectures"
In this city there are several individuals whose ut
ter destitution of every thing that gives
specabllity is notorious, who have taken up this
trade, and most industriousy engaged in throw
ing the greatest possible discredit on the cause OF
temperance.
We very readily admit that men Of character and
talent-men possessed of all that influence which
an unblemishea reputation and high intellectual &C.
qurements always Gre ate might largely contribute
TO the advancement Of the interests of virtue and
sobriety,by getting up entertainments with special
view of attracting public attention to the tenn
perance cause. But when persons of the most
prohigate character-fellows whose impudence
and mental debility are equaed only by their moral
worhlessness, are found pacarding their names at
every corner as the chosen champions of the Tenn.
Perance Societies. and inviting the public to partake
o. their intellectual feasts' at shilling head it is
impossible for any rejecting friend of the cause to
refrain from expressing his alarm and disgust
We cannot doubt that effective measures will be
taken by the influential members of the Temper
ance Societies of the city, to prevent repetition of
the dlsgraceful exhibitions perpetrated on their
name. Only think of fellows who live move, and
have their being in the vilest haunts OF obscenity
and vice, lecurDg on temperance and virtue, pock-
citing the proceeds, and then spending them in de.
bauchery! Ii is gross outrage on decsncy and
morality. II such conduct be suffered much longer,
the cause Of temperance will be covered with dis
grace, the oberation of which will be almost as
difficult the regeneration OF its reprobate authors.
