NEVER DrspoNp.-Ins view OF the trea-
SON and tcryism of these days and OF the
ihievery of many professed loyal men, we
hare sometimes despaired not only OF our
country, but OF man--as if the race had
degenerated, and God had given it over TO
destruction. But this is n mistake. Other
men, and in times of equal peril, have been
as wicked; the rogues Of to-day are only
repeating the old tricks. There were to-
ries and thieves in the revolution, aud the
war of 1912; they have re-appeared in
these DAYS. Here is evidence to the point
from George Washington -

fulness look upon every dispensation OF
Divine Providence as designed to answer
some valuable purpose, and hope | shall al

to bear without murmuring any stroke that
may happen TO my person or estate, from
that quarter But cannot, with any de-
gree of patience, behold the infamous prac-
tees of spectators, monopoizers, and all
that class of gentry which are preying up
on our vitals, and for the sake OF little
dirty pelf are putting the rights and liber-
ties of the country in imminent danger and
continuing a war destructive to the lives and
property Of the valuable part OF this COM
munity, which would have ceased last tall
as certain as we now exist. but for the en-
the enemy derived from this
depreciation Of the money

confusion of the reports it would seem diff
fcult to arrive at the proper quotation, but
the sale at SlO,75, we take it, represents
the figures at which seller and buyer may
meet in handling good brands of city.
Bacon and bulk meats are neglected, and

not very willing to operate at 81 so, the

REPRESENTATION ~ EvERYrHING.-Some
people are bound, sooner or later, to find
themselves mistaken. Speculation in all
kinds of staple merchandise was never as
rife as now. The entire business now done,
excepting for the mere necessities of con-
sumption, is a business of speculation.
There are immense quantities of material
in the country, and no sales except for
immediate consumption. Holders will not
sell at market rates. They look for fg-
ure higher Those who could purchase
large amounts are afraid to do SO lest the
merchandise decline in value upon their
hands. Indigo used to sell at 81 % for
the rarest qualities. Holders now refuse
to sell at less than 81 10, and freely ex-
press the belief that they will yet obtain
three dollars. Domestics, in all their va
Fieties, are thus kept out of the market;
so are tobacco and coffee. as we'll as many
other articles oflike necessity. Legitimate
business is narrowed down to the smallest
range. How long this sort of thing is
going to last remains to be seen. Sooner
or later somebody will be badly bitten.
Calicoes that sold for 81 cents per yard
now bring 1s cents. This initiation is not
healthy one. The goods are not worth
the money. By-and-by change will come,
and there must be lamentation among the
disappointed.
