TIE FALL IN PRICES.
Some Of our wholesale and retail merchants are
complaining bitterly becsuse the TnBuAK con-
tinues to record the I'll Of prices In New York and
Chicago. This IL very foolish. It ia our duty ~
Journalists to announce to our readers and the
public every change In tho msrkets, 10 msttef
whether It be an advance CT decline. We are
publishing a newspaper, not for o7e class Of the
community, bnt ior ths people It large, and re
have no interests apart from theirs. The news-
papers are not worthy Of either praise or blame in
the matter. When goods were advancing Eapidly,
re did not fail In our columns to announce the
rise, and NC heard no earping complaints thereat
from merchants, md now when prices are falling
We would be false to our t1ust II re did not inform
the people.
But this matter OF prices Is not regulated BY
journalists, as every sena1hie reader knows. Cod
is the barometer and when 1t falls from 26o to l9o,
wemay as certatn1J expect propostiona!e fall In
