Low Tariff Prices.

Mr.. p. K. Studebaker, of the well-known
Indiana wagon-making firm of Studebaker
Brothers, recently gave the following recol-
lections of the prices that prevailed i'm the
old days of democratic administration and
low tariff:
l remember distinctly the good times be-
fore the war so often talked about. We
then had comparatively small public debt,
and had the revenues from the sales of the
public lands. The tariff was low, but our
industries were lower still. We had tariff
for IRE venue exclusively" and no war debt
to pay, yet we paid six cents per yard for
calico when it was at its lowest point. Ev-
cry manufactured article made abroad cost
more than it does now under the present
"robber tariff" and the only defense our
people had against the high price was in
spinning and weaving the most of their own
own goods. Farm hands were paid at the
highest $13 per month. Corn sold as high
as 3S cents. Wheat once reached so, but
the squirt was only temporary, for 1t fell back
to GO in few weeks. Horses sold at from
$50 to $50 andth best cows could be pur-

chased at &l5 to $50. Hogs sometimes
reached $3 75 per hundred, but the average
price from 1840 to 1860 was ~. Butter
sold at from to 10 cents per pound and
eggs ranged from B to cents per dozen,
and at points remote from rivers and lines
of transportation there was no market for
any farm products except the cereals and
live stock. In those days we sold wagons at
retail for $110 which we now sell for $50.
Plows which then sold for $l2 are now sold
at Sc. Labor of every kind commands from
20 to GO per cent more than IL did then,
while every manufactured and imported ar
ticle which labor uses or consumes, sells
from 20 to 200 per cent cheaper than it did
before the war, and the only articles which
command higher prices are those produced
on the farm.-Detroit Post.

gentleman and an expert at the game,
not only would not rule partially to-

contrary stood 80 straight that he rather
leaned towards the visitors for manifest
