Activs preparations ars being made ID
our town Or ths tzansectiou Of ! nors than |
'uiually hsavy En- and winter business.
The light yield q the corn corp and low
prices paid for wheat, unite considerably
to diminish the Otherwise favorable PROS
pect, but still handsome incresse Of trade
may be confidently relied Oh. Notwith-
standing our pork packers have sustained
heavy losses on their last years transac-
tons, we learn th,f they are all getting
things in readiness for packing upon .
more exten'led scale than ever, if they
can get rae hogs. Owing to the scarcity
Of com, It is possible that fewer Of these
M be brought to market from our own
Territory than were cut up last season;
but should the river close as early as usual,
SO as to open free communication with
Illinois. the falling off will be more than
made up by the gain from that quarter.
What the price will be is now hard to con-
lecture. The enhanced value Of corn,
occasioned by the shortness Of the crop,
will naturally induce the farmers to ask an
increased price; while the dealers, admon-
ished by their recent losses, will not be
disposed to pay as much.
The stocks Of goods on hand and coming
are larger and better assorted than any
ever before opened in Burlington; and be-
ing mostly purchased in the Eastern cities
and shipped at season Of unusually low
freights, can. and we confidently believe
will, be sold as cheap as they can be pur-
chased in st. Louis or any Western city.
| We again call the attention of dealers in
the interior towns to this fact, convinced
that an examination Of prices will satisfy
them the time and money spent in going
to St. Louis are both thrown away. Goods
delivered here from Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, cost our merchants jus1
what they cost those Of St. Louis, adding
on only the difference in the freight, ant
! sometimes insurance; and these the pur
chaser has to pay at any rate, no matte
; where he buys. Being thus equal, tn
comparative cheapness Of living, hous
rent, and expenses generally, enjoyed b,
our merchants, may be taken as fair cfi
set to the proportionately large bushes
transacted by the wholesale city dealers
J, which enables them to sell at trifiingl,
!. diminished rate Of profit. Nearly all GU
!, merchants have laid in their supplies wit
J the view Of selling by the package, an
y business is beginning to be gradually sepa
:. rated. In addition to the new and heav
e stocks Of dry goods and groceries alread
i received, as evidenced by oni advertiser
J columns, we learn that an extensive hare
6 ware, cutlery and queensware establish
:. ment, is daily expected, to fill up one {
+ our largest store rooms. These thing
y show the increasing business of Burlinl
le ton, and hatteringly foreshadow limal
4 prospects.

The advance from August, 1912, when
the tariff was at the compromise rate Of 70
per cent, to 1874, has been an average Of
80 per cent. This large advance in the
selling prices Of the leading houses is suf-
ficient to &C, omit for large imports from
abroad, and for the enormous revenues Of
the government derived from goods now
in the hands of importers and jobbers, but
not yet sold to the consumers.
The quantity Of goods now procurable for
the same money is much less than last year.
In the above table We have the incontro-
vertible fact that red flannel has advanced
% per cent within the YER, as have also
saiincls for cheap pantaloons. Jeans and
shirtings have advanced 70 per cent.
These are articles al purchased BY far
mers, and are indispensable to their COM
fort. The farmers, forming four ffihs q
the whole population, may be said to reg
ulate trade by their purchases. Now i
we take table Of the New York prices
Of their sales now and at the same time
last year, we can judge Of their ability to
make purchases.

Rise IN the Price Of Domestic Fab
RIGS.
Considerable space is occupied in the
last Hawkeye with what purports to be q
reply to some remarks made in our paper
two weeks since, relative to the tariff, the
wages Of operatives, and the advance in the
price Of domestic goods. The point of the
whole article--if point it has any-is, that
our assertion that the manufacturers are
realizing 30 and 40 per cent is pronounce
ed s.talse," and it IS denied that articles Of
home manufacture have advanced to
the extent stated BY US. The often
sive word above quoted We fling back into
the teeth Of the conceited whiffet who pen
ned it, and with this shall be content. Har-
pooning tadpoles is, proitless business,
and We shall not engage in it now, what
everthe provocation. The denial derogates
.nothing from the truth Of our statement;
and we here re-affirm that we have seen,
within the last year, numerous declarations
Of semi-annual dividends Of fifteen per
cent. We cannot, however, for the sake
Of satifying man who has shown that he
does not know how to conduct friendly
controversy, go to any further pains to cs-
tablish this fact.
1 In relation to the rise in the prices Of
domestic goods, our readers will find tha,
we are amply sustained in our position By
the following table, copied from late New
York paper. Here is something for the
wiseaere Of the Hawkeye, which we hope
he will not demolish in his next number
by the sweeping assertion that it is "false.'

SVnPctC.
ROBERT p. DUNLAP is elected to Con-
gress in the third district, lately represent
ed BY wing, BY triumphant majority.
JoHs d. McCRArE, sterling demo-
crat, as probably chosen in the fourth dis
trict BY 2 or 300 majority.
HAsNIBAL HAMLIS is re elected in the
9th district, in spite OF the bitter wing OPP
position.
MIR. WILLIAMS, DEM, has carried the
seventh district.
In the first district the democrats are all
powerful on Governor, but have failed on
the Congressman through division; there
is no choice; and the district is safe for
the democrats whenever they unite.
The fifth is yet uncertain-and the
wings are able to hold on to old federal
kennebec only.
As to the legislature--the wings will
scarcely make show in the Senate, and
will have only one-third Of the house
In short, Maine has done nobly, and
will be prepared to give Polk and Dallas
tremendous vote; vote worthy Of the
The Boston Atlas gives up the State.
It is disappointed and petulant, and says:
Enough is known, however, to con-
vince us that we have little to hope or ex-
pc t from the State of Maine. The spirit
of Loco Focoism and Radicalism is rife, as
it has for long time been in that State.
In 1910, under the influence Of the unprc-
cedented element Of that year, the
wings were enabled 10 carry the State for
Harrison. What with the extreme activity
~ -eckle:s ferocity Of the Loco Focos-
he intervention Of the third party-and
the inexcus,,bfe hanging back Of portion
Of the whigs-~e suppose there is little
chance that any elevated views Of National
policy, or any impulses OF patriotism, will
be sufficiently effective 10 save li.t State
from the deep disgrace Of falling into the
thin ranks Of Polk and Dallas-Free
Trade and Texas. Let her go Let her
60. We shall do well enough without
her.
I'VE present below the returns, as we
have received them, from l6l towns, Of
