High Prices---what TO do.

The New York Economist argues that
prices will continue to advance. II says
the harvest is short, the staple Of the
IN anufScture of co o n
clothing all but gone-of woollen
utterly insuficient-wages, Which n,ust
keep pace gith the cost Of living, are ad-
vancing. What. then, is to be donel--
If inordinate prices are to be avoided,
we say it is necessary to lessen consump-
ton in every way. To increase produc-
ton is. for reasons we have given, i'm
practible; therefore, all that we can do is
to husband and ecoaomize the resources
we possess. 1t is for each man TO in
quire what his personal responsibility is
in this matter. Let us make one or two
suggestions:
Invest your money in Government
securities instead of private speculations
make Ihe establishment of your ma
tional credit your first business.
Introduce a rigid system of flugality
into your family government; let your
table be supplied with plain food, and
avoid foreign luxuries.
Let there be great modes alton in dress
it is a physical impossibility to furnish
the same quality of clothing as is usually
required; let there be graceful submis-
sion to the iron necessity of the hour.
Let no expense for entertainments
or amusements, usually INDUCED in, be
sanctioned during the coming season.
Are we not warned of the necessity
of timely attention to these suggestions
Do they not commend themselves at once
to the judgment and the conscience? Is
it not fitting that amid the roar of a
thousand cannon beIching forth dcstruc-
ton, and the groans of dying soldiers,
and the walls of their bereaved wives
and mothers, the sound of rejoicing
should be pushed in our streets! Is ii
not well that we, by rigid and personal
economy, should help the nation TO bear
the mighty financial burdens which the
war entails?

The New York herald Pre.eb,,r.


The recent amusing marriage ceremony
st the Brooklyn Fair, performed by the
Rev. Mr.. Cuyler after the ancient manner
Of the Puritans, gives the sanctimonious
Herald an opportunity to preach in this
wise:
Taken in Its most 'fnnocent phase this
mock marriage was q sort Of theatrical
performance, in which it did not become a
minister Of the Gospel to appear. But in
another phase it is more grossly immoral.
The institution Of marriage is sscred. IL
should not be triAed with either by lsymen
or clergymen, and especially not by eler-
gymen, who should "msgnify," instead Of
degrading "their Office" Indeed. the mar
risge ceremony is already too lightly re-
gsrded in Brooklyn, where seandalous ex-
posures and divorce cases are Of very fire.
queDt occurrence. In spite Of Mr.. Cuyler's
assertion that the charge is false" there
fore, and without the slightest tpersonsl
malice" towards him, we cannot withdraw
our statement that his psrt in the affair
was unworthy Of minister Of God and a
decided offence against morality. But It
is no new thing to find Puritan parsons
astrsining at gnst (rafling) and sWAl-
lowing cameP mock msrriages), and ws
have only to add, that all parties concerned
ought TO be heartily ashamed Of their share
in the transaction.

The New York World says: "The recent
city and town elections throughout the
State show decided Democratic gains.
Thus the city Of Troy increases its Demo
cratic vote six hundred. Lockport, Yon-
kers, and oswego also show conservative
gains" To which the Albany Journal Of
Friday thus replies:
The Worlds decided Democratic gains'
are myths. There is nothing Of the
kind but quite the reverse. The Demo-
cratic msjorities are now less ia all the To-
ealities Il names Except Yonksrs) than
they were last spring; while in Auburn,
which in 1858 elected Democratic Mayor,
now elects q Republican, and Utica,
which gave one Of Seymour's "friends"
over 600 msjerity last year, now elects q
thorough Union Republican by majority
Of 81. And the towns show even worse
than the cities for the Democracy. There
will be large Union gains, ss the
tables show which We publish from day 10
day, but which never fnd place in either
the World or Argus.
