Capt. P. H. Bowling, prominent Ohio
Republican, who has held the positions of
Postmaster at Toledo and Internal Revenue
agent under the Administrations of Grant,
Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, and has always
been leading and active member of the or
ganization in his state, has announced his
abandonment of the Republican party. The
reason for this abandonment is the effort OF
the Republicans of Ohio to raise sectionalism
again, when they declared in their platform
that ''the rebels have taken charge of the ad-
ministration of the government" Sectional
ism is slowly, but surely dying out.

The Cost OF Food.

Every o1e feels AN interest in the cost
OF food products. \ recent number Of the
american Gtocar Geyctes considerable
space ta a comparison Of the prices Of
many staple articles in the years 1870
1879 and 1851 Ii shows that l. articles
of general consumption have 1eclined in
price more than so per cent. since 1870.
The differences in specific articles is as
follows she first f.ures being the average
prices iu 1870 and the second the prices at
the close OF last year: Granuated sugar
declined from Is to 50 cents; Rio coffee
from 117- 20 95z cents Coffee brought in
1879 a cents }, Japan tea from 5612 to IS
cents, rice from ga TO 434 cents, mess
pork from S26 - to SD - per barrel, lard
frcm 1914 to 90 cents, butter from % to
% cents, cheese from 1715 to 1214 cents.
mackerel from - 10 . cents, Goldfish
from So % ~ cents, wheat from 81 %
10 - cents, -four from So so to 81 so per
100; corn from 81 TO 90 cents, canned
peaches from 81 80 to 81 50, canned oys-
te-s from 81 80 TO 80 cents, canned salmon
from 81 - to 81 y.
These are. If course. the wholesale
prices in New York Il is doubtful if
consumers have reaped the full benefit OF
the decline. Ii has probably been shared
bv the consumers ana the retail dealers.
Ii must lie taken into consideration that
a profit of 10 per cent. on these goods in
1870 represented as much eain on specific
transactions as a profit Of 20 per cent. in
1884. while freight and the other expenses
connected with handling them have not
been reduced in proportion to the decline
in the cost Of the goods.
It would seem that with such cheap
food the people ought to live well and
prosper. The profits in general business
and wages, however, have declined at
least as much as the retail prices OF food,
and thousands of men are now idle who
were probably employed in 1880.
There is promise of at least a partial
revival of business in the near future,
and reasonable ground for hope that the
next four years will bring more genuine
prosperity than the country has expert
enced since the paaic Of 1873.

great improvement in Michigan under
takers would take place at once. They
would probably be known as Doctors Of
Interment, and instead of the doleful
signs now seen over 'undertakers' Shops"
modest shingles inscribed, for instance,
"JOhn Smith, d. L." would introduce the
client to the undertaker's elegantly fur
nished Office, the walls Of which would be
lined with appropriate notices. The mere
mechanical part of the buryIng business
would be conducted by a different class
Of men, who could only furnish caskets
on professional undertakers' prescrip-
tions. The undertakers would have their
colleges where students would attend
lectures and be taught code of ethics,
appropriateness in dress, countenance,
etc. At funerals the carriages contain
ing the undertakers and families would
rank with those Of such mOurners as the
physicians, the lawyers and the minis
ters, and the bills would correspond with
the reputation Of the undertakers, and
would include only professional services,
the charges for casket, hearse, ETC.. being
left out Of the question. OF course, quacks
would be prosecuted to the extent Of the
law, and young D. lis would be spurned
as unworthy of the confidence and respect
of a befeaved public.
