THE COST OF EIKING, NOW AND
BEFORE 7lHR WAR,

A comparison Of the prices Of the sta
plies of the country in wholesale markets
in November, 1889, 1864, and 1874. shows
that prices are nearly as low, and in some
cases lowe, now than before the war, if
we are reduced to the gold standard.
Wheat is selling at about the same prices
in currency that it sold for goldin 1859.
Corn is selling for half what it did in
1864 (the year when gold touched z85),
and about the same price, gold Values,
as it did in 1859. Cotton is worth little
more than in 1859, but is dbout one
ninth the price reached in 1854. Pro-
visions, sugar, and coffee show a heavy
decline, but the present currency quota
tons are above the gold prices Of 1882
Dry goodslshoH a greater decline, since
1864, prints being below the prices Of
1859 Beefwas rather higher in the To-
cal market before, the war than to-day.
Sales we're reported in the Ledger in
November, 1853. for 4 ,to, g gents, per
pound. u The corresponding cattle report
Published this year quotes sales at from
4 to 81 cents. But before these articles
reach the consumers items of cost are
added to them, which havelnot been re-
duced in proportion'to the reduction in
prime cost." The taxrate Of 1888 on real
estate was sI-7S onia very low, valuation
Of property; to-day Il is q. 20 on a cash
valuation, A house which was worth
81 ,5ooin 1850 could not be bought for
twice that amount now. and rents are
from two to three times as high now as
before the war, While tits true, there
fore, that what are often called the "nec-
essaries Of life" have been reduced in
price atwholesale 10 nearly the prices
which ruled in 1889. il is not to be inter
red that the cost Of living to working men
has been corespondingly reduced. Pro
visions consume about one one-third to
one-half working mems income. The
other half is expended for rent, clothing,
fuel. lights, and other expenditures Of all
kinds, and in many Of these there has
been no reduction from ante-war prices.
But with reduction in the prime cost Of
provisions. there will undoubtedly come
in time reduction in the value Of things
for which corn, beef, wheat, &c., are ex-
changed; or in other words. reduction
in all the many things which together
make up the real cost Of living.

A Voice From the Grave-Charles Sumner on
Hamilton Fish.

Charles Sumner prepared a great speech,
which he never delivered, but which we
publish to day, depicting in clear colors the
meanness OF Gen Gran. and Hamilton
fish towards himself and Mr. Motley, our
former Minister to ENGLAND. Anything 50
numillating to Mr. Fish, SO derogatory to
MS character, with all our hostility to the
Administration, we are palued to see. LII
only goes to show that the depraved man,
who had no higher conception OF the great
ytfce OF President than that 1t Was a per-
sonal possession: to be used for the pay
ment OF pecuniary obligations, has CON
tauinated everything and everybody with
in his reach.
Think OF Hamilton Fish going to the
house of Charles Sumner and trying, act
ually trying, and proposing to buy off the
great Senator from his conscientious oppo-
sition to an Administration measure by the
,tfer of the mission to England
Think of the President OF the United
States saying that if it were not for his Of.
ice he would hold Mr. Sumner personally
responslble-the low bully What did lie
mean? He could only mean one thing II
ne were not President, he world be duel
list, or second Preston Brooks.
Like ma ter like uan. A member of the
Presidents household, too, would have Xix
ed to come to tistcutfs or pistols with Sena
| tor Sumner.
We take this speech from the Tribune
and lay it before the public. 1t will be
wide. y read. 1t will exert most damag
ing Influence on the standing of Mr. Fish
People will say he is almost as bad al
| Grant.
. Neil, Sumner is now dead, without any
physical blow upon the head, which il
