TIE Flour Market. = Dor readers will recol.
lect how suddenly the price of flour advanced
few weeks ago, on the receipt of the news
of the scarcity Of -four in England. That ad.
vance was wholly speculative and was no!
sustained; flour Is now selling as low as ever
This fact goes to show how utterly insignif.
cant is the foreign marke. as customer for
our produce. the suspension Of mining OPP
eralions, on tie abandonment Of the fisheries
or the destruction ofLynn or Lowell. would
do more to diminish our market for flour, than
the blight Of every wheat field 10 England.

that of prudence and economy, as TO the ex.
pense. and that Of constitutional law, aslo the
principle. If some, and even the majority,
have no scruples as 10 allowing unna.uralized
foreigners TO vote and to be delegates; yet,
they may halt upon the ground Of economy
And if, on the other hand, economy is no OBJ
ject with them, still their adherence 10 consti-

vote against The measure. Thirty or $4,000
is no small item for the Territory to save in
one short year, and especially when taxes now
range generally at about one per cent.
And, finally, as there is a memorial before
Congress, asking for authority for Us 10 become
a State, and for an appropriation for the ex.
penses thereof, it appears 10 me TO be boyish
kind of haste, 10 pass this law, and provide
for the expense out of our own pockets before
we know what the government will do 10 the
premises. And, as caution is TIE mother of
safety" il is to be hoped that the people will
use their only remedy in checking the hasty
and improvident acts of their public servants
by voting the law down, for this time, and
until we can more prudenily and legally enter
into the measure.

not be suspected of undue bias towards tn e

rcan ground upon the question, showing,
that so at least, all parties in this country
are united. In the course of long and
able article, it says:
