High Prices-Yfesd Times fcr l-aborers.
he Ga Times nd
Probably Of 10 period since the discovery OF the
geld mines, have the people OF California found It so
difficult to procure the necessaries Of life for Their
labor az during the past few months. In lsl9, prices
we're for time higher pou q present, but then
gold could be found in greater abundance, ami in
closer proximity to nayigGble streams where food
could be readily procured. Then the l4bcreI could,
almost anywhere in the mineral region, or in or
cities procure the necessarIes OF LIE py tew hours
exertiGn each day. But FOR the past fev months,
thousands Of our population have actually Suffered
from hunger. They have been forced 70 lige upon
coarse ard unwhoesoNnc food, and have, in many IN
stances, 40, bad syen enough Of this.
We hazard but little in saying, tia: the laboring
portion Of our popu,atoo hss made nothing for the
food has taken all Nor have merchants =. with tie
exception Ok importers Of sach articles essen
ta 70 the very existence Of the people, made their
expenses s,,e. - -.
markets food has adya1ced. While feet o. vessels
have been employed il bringing % shores every
commodity which tbe seart OF man can desire thoa
sands OF or citizens have actually entered from
hunger. They have no. been able 20 obtain ior se.G
service what worls srpply tho, dsily wants.
Let the man who doEbts what we have said follow
the poor laborcr to tie market even in this city,
where every commodity is cheap in comparison with
the prices exs&sd in other portions OF the State
Let him sec how far the earnings u the aborcF VIII
go towards the support OF q large family -four At
twenty-five cents per pound, choice piecca o. bees
fifty and as often sixty-two and half cents pota
toes twelve and half cents pork fifty cents but
Ger from sixty-two to one dollar and twenty-five
cents per pound wild d1c1a fFoin two " fcur DOL.
lars per pair chickens four II five dollars eacr
larl thirty ecven and half cents pes pyad co9te
arty-seyen and half cents per pound.
We might thus enurnerate almost every article Or
food in our market, and give prices correspondngly
high, were we SO Inclined, but here are enough t.
