his Daily journal that the Morrill, tariff is a
decided success. 1t promises to raise the
revenue for which it was designed one hun
bred millions per annum. That is nearly
equal to the amount raised by the British
tariff. This must be aattering to our repre-

Going Up Higher.

The panic is on. Gold is worth thirty odd
cents premium,-and the effort ia being made
to raise the price of other things in proper
ton. If the spectators and sharpers can
only get up panic they will be enabled to
line their own pockets and fleece the poor
and unsophisticated.
As navigation is about closing the flour
Spectator is tucking an extra price upon his

butter is now good article for export, thus
raising its market value cent or two a
pound. This was enough to set the butter
spectators all on fire, and they are securing
the country, buying all they can get even at
three and four cents advance. Hops are hop
ping up, twelve cents pound being offered.
Even that nasty-smelling, greasy article that
we are all compelled to use more or less, kerr
osene oil, has an upward tendency. Sugar,
cotton cloth. coffee, tea and tobacco, and sew
eral other necessa'ies, are already up out Of
sight, and the closing of navigation, the ex-
port of butter, or the Presidents emancipa-
ton proclamation cannot raise these much
higher. Even the raw material on which We
print our paper has risen 33 per cent. And
yet, with job work clean down and advertis-
ing merely nothing, We occasionally find a
man who has just sold his butter for % cents
his hops for shilling, and wool for half a
dollar, who has the "cheek" TO say that "the
times are so hard that Icant afford to pay a
dollar and a-half yean for newspaper, INT
if youW take dollar, guess III take it an
other year!!"
My dear poverty stricken friend, newspa-
pers are going to cost their publishers from,
33 to 100 per cent more the coming year than
they have before for fifteen years, and if you
can get your paper for the same price as
heretofore, when you are paying higher for
everything else, you may think yourself ex-
tremely fortunate.
But this subject of exorbitant prices is
one in which we are all Interested With the
necessaries of life at their present rates and
with an upward tendency, We do not see
what the day laborer can hope for the COM
ing winter With work half or two-thirds
of the time, a family of greater or less mag
nitude to care for, with chance of more or
less sickness, the prospect is certainly rather
gloomy. But there is one remedy, in part at
least Exorbitant prices are generally fcti-
tious prices, put on by spectators and it
becomes every person to in every possible
way discountenance such swinding. A uni
ted determination to buy the least possible a
mount of anything which bears fictitious
price, and to shun altogether those dealers
who wish to speculate by others necessities,
will Dc much to regulate this matter and keep
the necessares of life at least at living prices.
P. S.-The spectators overreached. Gold
has fallen five per cent in New York, -four is
coming down, and butter is not worth over 90
cents per pound.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.-We must say
that We enjoyed the way in which Geo. F.
Train pitched in to England on her own
soil. 1t was quite refreshing to read some
of his speeches before the aristocracy of that
country. But come to get him on this side of
the Atlantic he does not read or sound so
veil. He undertook to harangue an audi
ence in Boston few nights ago after Hon.
Chas. Sumner had spoken. He was arrested
b! the police, booted down stairs, and other
wise roughly handled and abused, we have
no doubt. But the people wont stand his
bombast and buster; they are down" on
him everywhere, and at the rate he goes on
he will soon be played out. The best no.
tlce We have seen of him is given in the Man.

He was not booted down stairs for his insult

Congressional enactment upon reducing the in

are not foreign enemles-if We shall have the
