Tux Pu1cr OF DRxAD-1t has been well ask

90, FRIDAY, JUNE
TIE Pu1cx OF DRtAp.-1t has been well asked
br contemporary, "Have our Bakers heard the
news3" and it then proceeds to say: "When
the European wnr broke out, the news operated
like yeast, to raise the price Of bread; but the
bakers forget to reduce the price, now that
-four has fallen again, 1T is poor rule that
won't work both Ways"
There can be no doubt Of the truth Of this
statement, Us every one must admit, who has !
seen our bread from the bakers hands, grow, |
dsy after day, "smaller By degrees, and beau~
tifuIly less" until the purchase Of bakers |
bread has become an enormous ta1 upon the |
families of this community, while it takes con-
siderable money now to feed growing family |
with the simple staff of llfe*
Bread is dearcr in America than in England,
where -four is much higher. In France they |
regulate matters in different way. Indeed, it
behores the crowned heads to protect their sub |
jects against the extortions OF bakers, for the
safety of the Government is jeopardized when
work is scarce md bread dear. "Cheap Bread"
is IN old revolutionary cry. The whole tide Of
legislation was changed in England by the Free
Trade laws, which gave the people cheap bread,
and its effects are demonstrated to-day in the
decrease at pauperism aud the rapid progress
Of the country.
We saw last winter, in New York, a fair copy
of the Bread Riots of Paris. Cheap and good
bread is m important subject with us IS well
Us Europeans, and We regret that our Bakers
do not regulate this matter on principle. We
haye nc Louis Napoleon to say how much in
price our bread shall be,-nor would it accord
with our institutions,--n Sir Bobert Peel to
repeal the corn 1aws; but We have q remedy,
which if more extensively followed, will soon
produce au effect on the size Of our loaves, and
that is for erery family to bake III possible) its
own bread. Let it be considered lad like hc.
comp}ishmcnt, equal to crochet, or the Lancers
for d lady to make good loaf Of bread; then
bread would become cheap and wholesome. We
hope the Bakers will meet together aud deter
mine, if possible: on some standard for the
weight aud price Of bread. =
