SHALL WE HAVE CHEAP FLOUR

4 slight decline in wheat and flour
may be fairly expected, now that Eu-
ropesn peace seems to be reasonably as
sured. The anticipation that it would
take all winter and perhaps till another
hsrves! TO bring any Black sea grain into
the market, in case of peace, Is not con-
tirmed by the intelligence from Odessa.
The Crimesn ports have about 100000
bushels OF wheat 10 pour into the market
as soon as the Dardanelles are opened, q
quantity which cannot but reduce the
price at Liverpool for some months.
The wisdom of those western farmers
who sold their grain as soon as threshed
was abundsntly justified this year. How
ever, our leading -four man IN Wheel
ing is of the opinion tina. the price of
wheat ard -four will not materially de-
elmo, even though we have no extraordi-
nary export demaEd, as the country was
unusually barren of wheat when the last
harvest was gathered. His opinion is,
that we have no such surplus OF grain in
this country as to cause a g!ut in the
market, even if We have to rely upon
our own stomschs TO furnish the demand.
90, those who have been inveighing
against the Russian war as the cause OF
hish-priced -four may not realize their
dream of peace and chesp bread.

WHAT THE REGISTER DOES.

Steubenville Herald.
THE Wheeling REGISTER and other
Democratic papers in this nelg hborhOod
handle the tarii question as glngerly as
sn old woman counting eggs. Their con-
clusion seems to be tia: it would be mex.
pedient to NEEDLE with the tariff at
present, bu: they propose to support 3
revenue tariff in the future just as they
have done in the past"
The Wheeling REGISTER is not ono
of the "gingerly" kind; it is able to say its
say in Anglo.Ssxon SO plain as not to be
misunderstood. The RRGIsTER. in dis
cussing the WOOD bill, pointed out some
excellent features in 1t, but one OF
them was not the reduction of the tariff
on iron. For instance: Mr.. WOODS
bill reduces the cost OF collecting
tho revenues of the government,
as we understand it, several
millions of dollars, ard it abolishes the
complicated and cumbersome system of
cumulative duties, of charging both spec
iic and sd valorem duties on the same ar
ticle, and so on. These are good features,
which we most cordially endorse, and
which we hope to see incorporated,
some timo in the future, in our
revenue system. But We do
not believe that this is favorable
time for discussion of any
change whatever in the tariff laws. The
public mind is absorbed in the consldera-
tion of the financial problems at present,
and that Is quite enough. After the
questions of our currency are satistac-
torily settled and business becomes ad-
iusted to the new order of things, then
we are in for revenue reform-but not
for the abolition of sll tariffs or for the
lessening of the present rates on iron or
wool. We think VIC are able to distin-
guish between reform and destruction.

Messrs. MARDoFF & Co., furnished the

cents per diem for their labor, which ag.

made monthly and therefore the State
can lose but little, if any, as the material
in possession of the State will probably
offset the contra account.
