FLOUR.

In the CHRONICLE OF last week we
published paragraph in relation to
the exorbitant price demanded for
wheat flour, and suge ested to consum-
ers that the remedy for the evil, in a
measure, laid in their own hands. The
Wheeling Intelligencer, however,
thinks we are "too far off the Lent
season" to think Of affecting The mar
ket in that way. We have no hope Of
relief at all. The Intelligencer has
suggested the reason. Our people, of
course, could get along all winter with
oue-fourth the quantity of wheat -four
they are now consuming; but, let the
spectators fleece them as they will,
they will buy it, in as great guam
titles as formerly. The people are
used to famine prices, and submit to
extortion without grumble. AS is
suggested, if dealers should combine
and insist on dollar piece for eggs,
wo should after time submit to the
extortion, and the consumption would
not materially decline. And, just as
long as the people will submit, the
soulless spectators and extortioners
will pile it on.
Prices are based on an inflated cur
rency, from which, from present ap
pearances, there is no relief very neal
at hand. Secretary McCulloch has
forgotten his Fort Wayne speech, in
which he promised to make prices
tumble, and is moving along rs in war
times, "bulling" and clearing with
the gold operators in Wall Street by
selling gold. Months ago the country
was led to hope, from the Secretary's
published statements, that he was pre-,
pairing to redeem some of our demand
obligations, and that the country would
be gradually relieved of its immense
paper circulation; but it seems We
were all mistaken. Notwithstanding
this, there is no good reason why prices
should be higher now, with gold al
lag, than they we're when gold brought

stronger support to its local press
Let no Republican fail to patronize his
local paper, beth by his subscription,
and, If he is q business man; by his
advertisement. Ifhe is not willing to
subscribe or advertise, and so sustain
a Republican paper unless 1t pays, he
cannot complain if editors are unwil'
ling to publish such paper unless it
pays. But let him regard it as one of
the duties he owes to his country to
sustain the local paper that represents
his principles, and he will find that it
does pay pecuniarily, intellectually,
and in conscientious satisfation. What
is true at all times is now specially
true, that Republican voters, officers
and conventions are bound, SO far as
they can, to sustain their local paper.
Perhaps they are not aware how thor
oughly every community is judged by
it's newspaper. In Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, or Chicago, in the large
newspaper offices, the country papers,
coming as exchanges, represent their
locality, as a delegate would represent
it in National Convention. A prac-
ticed editor will tell within few hun.
dreds the population Of town by its
newspapers. He will judge of its en-
terprise by it's advertisements, of the
taste of the inhabitants by its columns
of the morals of the people by its style
"If a politician or lecturer is invited
to speak, or a minister to preach, or {
business man to buy real estate, or al
intelligent emigrant to settle in q Ger

fit, and comes, or declines to come
