Ex pIoded Claim of sympathy with
LabOring Men.

New YORK, Oct. 19.-In July the dele
gates Of the Typographical Union wen to
Blaine and, al he said he was the working
mans friend, demanded that he would
make his organ, the Tribune, pay full
rates. Blaine promised, but referred them
10 Elkins. They demanded Of Elkins that
the Tribune be made q Union Office or the
patronage of the National Republican
Committee be withdrawn from that paper.
Elkins answered two weeks later, saying
that 'no patronage OF the committee has
been given to the Tribune" The printers
have since discovered the trick to be this:
Elkins arranged for the State Committee
to transact business with the Tribune,
the National Committee furnishing the
former with funds. Then the printers
decided TO act. Blaine and Elkins
got scared and asked them to wait and
see Whitelay Reid. The latter made ar
rangements which were satisfactory, but
procrsstinated in signing the agreement.
I he printers, being suspicious, insisted on
q clause being put in the agreement
which practically nullifed the whole mat
Ter. Negotiations then ended, and now
the printers say that Blaine, Elkins and
Reid are playing them for suckers"
aud trying 10 stand them off until after
election. This is q sample Of e,s.le's
irieadship for the workingmen. To-day
the Typographical Union met. There
we're over 500 at the meeting. The Re-
publicans unanimously adopted resolu-
tions denouncing Blaine and advising
the workingmen 70 support Cleveland.
The resolutions are very bitter, but the
printers say they won't stop here. They
have appointed several OF their men to
60 through the doubtful States, telling
the story Of Blaine's dupljcity toward
them. The matter is causing a great
sensation in ~workiugnen's circles, and
will lose Blaine thousands Of working
mems votes in this city alone.

q
nized rule among all shrewd business
men that a credit customer must be
charged more. than a cash customer.
IT is right that the man who must be
carried for three months or year,
with possibility that the whole ac-
count may be lost, should pay more
for his goods than the man who brings
the cash. 1t is right that he should
and he always does. 1t thus happens
that the man who can least afford 1t is
the one who pays the most for his
goods. The obvious remedy for this Is
to pay cash. OF course we recognize
that there are times when this is SIM
DIV impossible. But those times do.not
come as often as one imagines they do.
The trouble is that most people do
not accommodate the expense OF their
living to their income, but go blindly
ON spending little more each week
than they earn, trusting to some sud-
den turn of the wheel of fortune to
help them out. A little experience
ought to teach people that this venera-
BILE wheel very seldom makes that
kind of turn. The only way to get
helped out of it is not to get into 1t.
1t may require unpleasant stinting fol-
week or so, but you will feast all the
merrier for that on the week follow
ing. We hope that at least one OF our
readers, who has been in the habit OF
"ticking", will resolve to pay as ne
goes for one year. We will cheerfully
grant him space in our last issue Of
next year, to tell how he is satisfied
with the experiment.
Thus endeth the first lesson.

A SIGNIFICANT COMPARISON

In comparison with the prices that
have ruled for four or five years, the
market price of farm produce and live
stock is very low. AS matter OF COM
parison, however, with the prices OF
the various articles of necessary mer-
chandize, we believe that the prices
now ruling in the produce market are
not So low as they really appear. There
never has been a time in this country
when dry goods, clothing and grocer
les could be bought 80 cheaply as they
can now. Two years ago corn brought
30 cents, and hogs five and six cents.
But calico cost from four to live cents
a ward more than it does now. Muslin
cost 81 and ten cents yard then, but
it can be bought now for 5 or 6 cents.
Sugar cost 81 to 121 cents per pound,
whereas from IA to IL pounds may now
be bought for dollar. Coffee cost %
cents pound, whereas 1t is now sold
as low as 12I cents per pound. 1t thus
appears that although corn is worth
only 20 and % cents yet as matter OF
fact the purchasing power of load OF
corn is very little less than it was
when corn sold for 80 cents. If farm
ers would take these things into con.
sideration, they would not be so 10th to
sell their corn at a low price.
Since writing the above we notice in
the Junction City Union comparison
of the prices of a number of articles In
the year 1874, with prices on the same
articles in 1884, that SO well supple
ments the foregoing that we quote il
below. In order to appreciate this
comparison it must be remembered
that in 1873 Kansas produced only A..
DOC. 900 bushels of corn as against 1S2,
OS4.526 bushels i'm 1883, and that the
price in 1873 was about the same, &C
cording to our recollection that 1t is
now. The comparison is as follows:

A SHORT SERMON.

While we think Of it, we take oc';as-
ion to suggest that the best resolution
that can possibly be made by any one,
and resolution that ought to be made
and steadfastly kept by every one, is
not to ask or give credit. This is
meant especially for retail purchasers
rather than for merchants. Every
merchant fully realizes the disastrous
results of the credit system upon his
own business, but the purchaser does
not quite SO readily see why he should
not accept credit if he can get it.
There are two reasons why he should
not. The first is that it is unjust to
the man who trusts .. him. When
times are good, considering that the
buyer is honest, the creditor may not
suffer. But let hard times come sud-
denly and however honest his inten.
tons, the buyer finds himself utterly
unable to meet his obligations, and
the creditor must suffer the consequent
ces. AT least one good firm in this
county has failed within the last
month for exactly this reason. Enough
and more than enough was coming te
them on their books to have tided
them over the crisis. But those whom
they had accommodated were unwil
ling to sacrifice a COW or sell their corr
at a lower price than they thought
they ought to get, and so they hat
to go unto bankruptcy. We know 9th
er firms that are towering on the verg,
of the same precipice, and for the sam,
reason. We repeat then that it is fla
grant injustice to demand credit of
man when you are not absolutely Ger
tain that you can pay him whenev
er he needs it.
In the second place, the mostextrav
agant mode of life that man can fol
low is to live on credit. 1t is recog
