The galaxy of Hunterdon orators of the
Democratic persuasion has had new man
added to it the present campaign, in the per-
son of M. L. Trimmer, Esq, of Pennington.
1t is really refreshing to see now man an
nounced at the Democratic meetings. The
old stereotyped names have done service for
so many years, and the Democracy have
heard their speeches repeated so many times,
that they have become little tired of them.
We do not know that it will be very
pleasing information to tho ladies that prints
and domestics have gone up in price, but
such is the case, and this rise is really an en-
couraging fact. The price at which these
goods have recently been sold has been less
than that for which they could be manlfac-
tured and majority of manufacturers have
for some time stopped production. The in
crease in price, therefore, is evidence that
the glut in the market is exhausted and that it
will be necessary to start up the mills in or
der to supply the demand. The prices, con-
sequently, must advance to point that will
pay the manufacturers for producing these
goods. This advance, then, means employ
ment for many out of work and a revival of
one branch of industry long stagnant. Other
industries must follow the same course, sooner
or later.
