EFFECTS or RADICAL LEGBIArIoN UP0s
PRIcEs-About one year has elapsed since
Lees surrender and the rebellion was sup
pressed At that time april 8, 1860 gold
was selling In New York at forty-slx cents
premium; cotton, thirty-six cents per pound;
-four, twelve dollars per barrel; pork, twenty
six dollars per barrel; beef twenty-one dollars
per barrel At this time april, 1860 gold b
selling at tweny-eight premium, or eighteen
per cent less than It was year ago; cotton
commands forty -four cents per pound; hour Is
sixteen dollars per barrel; pork, twenty-six;
beef twenty-four. With the heavy decline in
gold one would imagine that Q corresponding
decline In articles Of general consumption
would follow; but such, We ind, Is not the
case. Flour, pork and beef have advanced,
and even cotton has gone up In price, not
withstanding the receipt Of the large amount
Of two million bales, besides perhaps three
hundred thousand bales that have reached
market and not been reported. A balance Of
half million bales probably remains In the
interior yet to be shipped. How are we to
account for this advance in pricest How is It
that the burdens Of the people are increasing
instead Of diminishing as gold depreciatesf
The products Of the South are coming forward
and the value Of the currency Is appreciating.
We think correct answer TO these questions
can be found in the radical legislation in Con-
grem. The disturbing elements there have
kept the business Of the country in an unset
tied condition ever since the war ceased.
With the return Of peace 1t was generally sup
posed that the country would be allowed to
recover Its energies, and trade resume its ac-
customsd channels. But the radicals, fearing
to lose power, are constantly laboring to keep
alive sentiment of hostility between the
North and the South, to arouse sectional
jealouses and bitterness, 10 unsettle trade,
and to increase the loads that are now OPP
pressing the people. When will the country
be relieved of the intolerable curse of radical
ismf
