ENGLISH PRICES FOR AMERICAN GOODS.


One of the commercial puzzles yet to
be explained is the reason why you can
buy excellent Blue Point oysters in Lon
don for a shilling dozen why Atlantic
and Scribner's monthlies can be bought
there for the same price; how is it that
American butter. cheese and beef are
now to be found IN nearly every village
of Scotland and England, while The greater
part of the sea coast population of
Wales live on American canned goods,
all of which can be bought for far
less than here-a good cut of Ameri-
can beef, for instance, costs two pence
halfpenny, or five cents pound.
Developing our commerce is 4 good
thing, but is there any reason why we
should not be able tO get things pro-
duced here for at least the same price
that our British cousins can? If the
Atlantic and Scribner's monthlies are to
be bough: in London for shilling. why
should we pay more than "A quarter of a
dollar for them: Or. what is a more
vital question, with American beef at 5
and cents a pound at retail, why Is it
that the lowest price in the wholesale
market here is IL cents pound, and
that without the added expense Of trans
portation and other incidentals: An ex-
PLANTATION is in order from the producers.

HOW IT WILL BE DONE.

hO" WILL DE DON L.
A letter from the Washington CORES
pondent 10 the New Gork Tribune
shows that in the organization of the
Chicago convention, the framing of its
rules and the disposition of contests the
will exercise no power at
all-the temporary chairman will be Sc
leeted by the national committed, a ma
jority of whose members are opposed to
Grant. The committees on permanent
organization, rules and credentials will
be made up by the several state and
territorial delegations, each naming one
member. The antiGrant men have u
majority of 81 of these delegations,
while the Grant men have only 10, the
remaining g being equally divided.
Controlling, as they inevitably
will, the action of the COM
mittees, the anu-Grant men will
provide the convention with II perman-
ent chairman, report IA rule giving TO
each delegate the right to his Individual
vote, and determine the Illinois contests
in favor of the delegate representing the
people, and against those representing
General Logan's machine. Thus, on
every important question the Grant men
will have the organization opposed to
them, and will be forced to make q fight
against the reports OF the regular com
mittces. These are stubborn facts
which are not to be got rid of by loud
Boosting of fictitious strength.

The plea for whisky which is predicat-
ed upon the arguement that the farmers
of this state must have u market for their
grain and that the mashtub must fur
nish the demand, will not hold water in
Kansas. Nature has provided hundreds
and thousands of bona tide hogs through
whose agency corn can be converted in
TO pork at a handsome profit, and has
thus obviated the necessity Of degrading
men to the level of swine by the con.
Ammunition of whisky.

The K. c. Journal arises To observe
that Kansas newspapers have volumin-
