THE In dian peace commission will probably very soon cease to exist, as we see it stated that Congress failed to pro- vide for it's cOntinuance-in other words appropriated no money for it to expend. It always was a damage rather than a benefit to the public, and of very doubtful advantage to the Indians, for it doubtless has misled many of the red men in regard to the purposes of the government with reference to their thefts and murders. No one ought to regret it's immediate and per manent death.

THE COST OF LIVING.
Some Facts for Retail Purchasers.

In these times when every person of limited
means, and even some who are deemed indepen-
dent, are studying economy in living it is not un-
profitable to examine the real cost of provisions
compared with the price paid by consumers. Be-
gin with fuel: Coal is taken from the mines in
pennsylvania for $3.50 per ton; another $l50 will
cover the actual cost of transportation, making
SO per ton when IL reaches here. We oil know the
prices charged here and can calculate the amount
OF profits to somebody. Wood is delivered along
side the railroads, distance of not more than
twenty five miles from Washington, a. g or q. so
per cord; another dollar per cord is sufficient to
bring it bere-say IS per cord-the profits are less
than upon coal: still enough to show the con-
sumner that big margins are made. Look next at
not twenty miles from Washington, at SllO per
bushel. 1T takes five bushels OF wheat to make
barrel ll96 pounds Of flour. This, at the above
price Is, $3.50. Then there is our bran and mid
dlinEs, worth Sl.5O, leaving the cost Of the flour
- per barTeI-a trife over two cents per pound
Compare this with prices paid for family flour.
Again, Potatoes are bought at Wholesale for rs
10 20 cents per bushel. In the market and pro-
vision stores 80 and 40 cents per peck, or from
81 80 to $l.6O per bushel are charged.
The profit on turnips, beets, onions and other
vegetables is greater than upon potatoes. Ap-
pies and other fruits are In Ike proportions.
Beef BY the side or quarter can be purchased for
from three TO five cents per pound, according to
quality. Consumers pay In the market from l2%
to % cents per pound. Pretty good profits, these.
Pork, mutton, yeniEOD, poultry and game realize
quite as great profits these. Families who pur-
chafC their provisions in small quantities are com
pNllNu u lAg lutbe ana can Qis-
cover no way TO avoid such extortons and In fact.
thcreis 10 way. When We consider the prices paid
for hDe groceries we even more surprised al tho
prices paid than for provisions. The profit upOn
teas Is too great to calculate So upon coffee
spices, dried and canned fruits, &c, &c RaIsIns
which cost here to tho consumer - cants per
pound, the beet Of which come from smyrna are
grown and put up there at the inSignihoant sum
o. two or three cents per pound. Domestic fruits,
dried and canned, though not so extrayaRantly
disprOpOrtiOnate between original cost and cost
TO consumer are yet so great that when the people
eontider the enormous real profits made by mid.
die men there seems to be no room for the exer.
else OF patience. The only object IN presenting
these items Is 10 show facts, and let the people
mud for themselves the proper remedies and
means OF supply without submitting TO extor.
