profitable for export thithor. Taking
wheat as another example, the average
price at Berlin was Sl7.O9 for 1000 kilo-
grammes, or reduced to bushels, S1.27 per
bushel. Up TO the LIST of September the
average price for wheat here was ninety
six cents for the year preceding, or nearly
| twenty-five per cent. less than it was there.
This discrepancy, it will be remembered,
was noted by our grain dealers last fall, and
the price Of wheat was sent up at one time
to S1.15 and $1.2O, which was higher
| figure than it would pay to export at the
time. The subsequent furry and still
higher prices should hardly be brought
into contrast with these figures, being
speculative. In the price of oats there was
n still greater discrepancy. In Frankfort
on-the Main domestic oats averaged S34.O2
per 1000 kilogrammes, or, reduced to
bushels, ffty-four cents per bushel. Here
the average price during the year, as be-
fore given, was twenty-seyen cents bushel,
or just one-half.
Now, then, to refer to The prices of iron
and coal the case is reversed. The best
Scotch pig-iron averaged Sl7.71 during the
year per 1000 kilogrammes, which is 2,204
pounds-a tenth more than ton-which
would reduce it to $16 per ton or there
abouts. In the United States, during the
same time, Hanging Rock iron sold for S27
and $2s per ton. The best German cast
iron-pig-which is rated as inferior to the
Scotch, sold for S12 the ton, while at the
same time first quality Ohio stone coal forge
iron sold at S22 and $23 per ton. This
shows difference of $12 per ton in one case
and $40 ton in another in favor of our
iron. The duty OH iron entering Germany
is S2.2S per ton In the article Of coal the
difference is about the same as in iron.
The average price of lump coal of ordinary
quality was S1.S2, while the Westphalia for
gas manufacture was $4 for 1000 kilo-
grammes English nut coal, anthracite,
was S295. The average price of Youghio-
gheny coal in New York was S210 per ton,
and anthracite averaged $667 per ton the
year round.
These figures conclusively show that the
cost of living in Continental Europe Mt the
present time is considerably higher than in
the United States--a fact which, when
fully understood by the industrial classes
of Europe, must tend to swell the tide oi
emigration to our shores. Much as our own
people may manifest signs of discomfort
this is the best country on the globe for the
industrial classes.

Ii an offender is caught and arraigned
1t is much better for his case that he con-
fess his wrong and throw himself upon
the clemency of the tribunal that has him
in hand than to fabricate and utter a de-
liberate lie to palliate his offense. What
may become of AcKLEN under his arraign-
ment before the House depends entirely on
the will of the majority. His guilt is
manifest, and his excuse, as rendered, for
committing the ofIense, only adds turpi-
tude to the case. Mr.. AcKLEN assigns as q
reason for his crookedness in presenting
the bogus report, in which an old report on
the same subject is incorporated, is that
the supply of the printed copies of the
former report had been exhausted. It now
turns out in the testimony of the Superin-
tendent of the Document Room, that this
excuse is without any foundation in fact,
MS there are at least fifty copies of that
report still on hand. This places Mr.
ACKLEN before the House us n deliberate
falsiier Of fact, as well as q crooked legis-
lator.

takes possession 1t was n surprise to the peo.
pie of the city to be informed that an un-
known physician of an obscure town in tho
Western part of the State has been appointed
TO fill such an importrnt position, and the case
affords striking illustration Of the folly of
permitting political considerations to affect
appointments to offices which require incum-
bents of ability, learning aud experience
~ y. Mail.
Paris is France, but the people of the
Empire State outside the commercial me-
tropolis do not consent that New York city
is the entire State. The appointment of a
Health Officer from the rural county OF
Allegheny strikes New York city as some
thing absurd, but those sections of the
State which elect Republican Governors,
when any are elected, in spite of Demo
cratic New York city, do not think so. The
Governor seems to have just ap probation
of the situation.
