RESENTING 4 R.NEG1DES ADJCE'
Last October The Neic- York Times made the
Outrageous assertion that mo supporter OF
James G.. Blaine can be found outside of three
classes, the thieves. the dupes and the blind
spartisans.r a month later The Times matched
this wanton insult of tried and true Rcpdbli-
cans and sought to commend itself to It's new
Democratic associates by mcanly endehyoring
TO convince the country that Mr.. Banes sup
porters in this State-New- Workers OF unln-
peached integrity from Lake Erie to Long
lsland-were conspiring TO win the Presidential
election by frauds upon the ballot-box
Since November The Times has frequently
displayed the same sort of venom. Despised
by Republicans and distrusted by Democrats,
IN It's extremity it poses ~ an independent
newspaper with incidental protection for De-
mocracy, flee trade aud Cleveland. Now and
then. however, it has the cool impudencc TO
offer advice to Republicans-to the men whom
a few months ago il stigmatized as thieves
dupes, blind partisans and conspIrators against
the right of suffrage. Naturally enough those
To whom this advice is addressed resent II as
brazen impudence. The Utica Herald, com
menting upon the fact that The Times has re-
sumed it's habit OF lccturing the various rural
counties OF the State as to their duties IN re-
- spect 10 legislative representation pungently
remarks that If the ST. Lawrence County Ko-
apubllcans want TO know what good Republic
scansm is, they will do well 10 look to their
home papers rather than to The Now- York
Times for instruction OH that point"
If The Times does not relish being snubbed
by Republicans it will do well not to undertake
to lecture them or to impress upon them IT'S
political views. Having abused them for ex-
ercising the right of private Judgment as honor
able men were never abused before, it must not
complain if they decline to give it II hearing.

FLOUR AND WHEAT COAPARED.

1t is observed by some that the price of -four
remains remarkably low, notwithstanding the
efforts made with scant success TO lift the price
of wheat A little comparison ut this point
may cast light on the subject. Four years ago
the best pateut -four sold at S5 barrel, and
the same eour sells now at Sc. But No. red
winter wheat four years ago sold at 81 32, and
the same wheat sells now at 90 cents. -Four
years ago spring wheat extra -four sold at
So Is, and super6ne from 81 30 to 81 80.
Now the spring wheat extra sells at $3 30 to
81, and the snpertine at S3 to $3 50. But
four years ago the price of No. Chicago spring
in this market WAS 81 26 and now it is "a
cents. 1t is reckoned that barrel of flour is
equivalent in consumption or in exports to 4l2
bushels of wheat. Fom years ago the average
cost of the wheat in q birrel of -four was
50 sole, and on tho same date the average cost
of ten different qualities OF -four was % oOl2.
But the average cost of the Az bushels oil
wheat is now 81 81. and the average cost of the
same ten qualities of -four is now 81 37l2
Ii appears, too, that tho decline in prices has
not been regular or equal for In 1882. about
this date the average cost OF ten barrels OF
Hour was 50 73, bat the cost of the wheat was
only 81 0S. Again, in August, 1883, the
average cost of the -four was So l1l2, while the
average cost of the wheat was So 21l2 One
year ago, the average cost of the ten barrels OF
-four was 81 SO, while the cost of the wheat
WIS - C5. At that time wheat was much
lower than it is now, and was relatively too low
for the price of -four. Now the difference be-
tween the two in relative price is comparatively
small, the relation being substantially the same
as in August, 1881, when four and wheat both
cost 50 S0i2 against 81 81 or 81 37i2 at the
present time Thus it appears that the decline
in the price Of flour has not been exceptionally
great, but only about eQuivalent to the decline
in the price of wneIt. It appears also that al
though the exports of -four have very greatly
Increased, 50 that much larger proportion of
the wheat sent abroad goes in the form of flour
than was thus exported i've years ago, the rela-
tive price of the two remains about the same,
and is perhaps more fairly adjusted at this
time than ia usual in the history of the trade.
In short, unless tho demand for flour suiiices to
lift it to considerably higher price, there
seems little reason to believe that speculative
operations to advance the price of wheat will be
long successful.
New-York tribune., 1885-08-18

Numidian lion whose p0st-ofice address Is the
breast Of that patriotic organization. Worse
still, infinitely worse, declining to patronize the
home market, Secretary Whitney has filed the
Brooklyn Navy Yard offices not with Brooklyn
but with alien patriots. Members OF the
Tweed-successor brigade are given all the lat
things that grow about the Yard, and when
Kings County begs for recognition she Is
cordially invited to stay out in the cold. Do
her Democratic sons who marched under the
banner of Cleveland and Hendricks think that
they too would like bite of something "Let
them bite the DUST" says the Secretary. No
wonder that The Eagle is in a state Of mind.
1t would not be surprising if it came out in
donble-leaded italc BREWER with proposition
to burn the Bridge and the ferry boats, 80 as to
cut off all further communication with Messrs.
Whitney and Thompson
But our melancholy contemporary is not con-
tent with leveling its sarcastic reproaches at
the Secretary of the Navy and Tweed's sue
cessor. 1t also falls foul of the Secretary of the
Treasury. This is the way it accuses Mr.. Man
ming of case ingratitude
When Mr.. Manning came to Brooklyn to beg the sup
port Of our delegates his mission would have been o
beyond question: have resulted had he felt constrained
to mention tho low mental condition Of the Brooklyn
Democracy. In those old days Mr. Manning rather 3D.
mired the shape OF the typical Kings County Democratic
head.
That settles it-Mannng is monster. But
for Brooklyn this would have been President
Bayard's Administration. The Navy Yard was
not mentioned when the deal with Manning
was made but with that bonanza in view the
Brooklyn contingent consented to allow its
convictions of duty to draw its affections away
from the son of Delaware and fix them upon
Cleveland. Yet now, with Cleveland in the
White House, and Manning in the Treasury,
Brooklyn Is excluded from the Navy Yard |!
There may be some question about " the shape
of the typical Kings County Democratic head"
but there can be none about its condition. It's
awfully sore.
