THE HIGH PRICES OF BREADSTUFFS To. , With gold atiese than 140, domes- tic goods at aboat the same rates as previous to the war, 4nd mest manufactured articles ia common wre at bat asmall advance; why is it that after a bountifal harvest, breadstuffs cos! us nearly three times as mach row as they did 4M 1860-'61, when gold was at par? This ques- ‘ion is often asked, but has never been satis- factorily-answerea. The sudject is one of ibe greatest imporiguce, and has ledto consider- able discussion among business memand in th newspapers. Inaumerabie theories have been Started toaccount for afact which exists in spite of elaborate arguments 10 prove that it ought not to, but none of tbe causes assigned for the comtinued high prices of our staple food Baye been entirely satisfactory, and econo- mists are still puzzled. There are those who summarily dismiss th subject by the well-known formala—«Tt is all mere speculation. A few rich monopolis's buy up thegram and keep it on hand uatil Searcity brings about rise in prices. That is all.” To these it may be replied:—“A tempo- rary inflation of prices might result from such combinations, but the imevitable laws of sup- ply and demsnd must break them down sooner oF jater.” (there say the surplus of currency enables tbe banks to accommodate the farmers with liberal lo&as on their prodace, which they are thns not forced to sell, and hence hold it for a rise in prices. Those who use this argument are reminded that here again the laws of supply and demand interfere with the programme; loans must be paid, pay-day is certain to com id borrowers might be forced to seli all at once, and ti down prices with @ run. Anot is that the great lines of communication between the West and the East are in the hands of rich monopolists; that bread- stuffs are cheap enongh where they are Produced: but that the extortionate rates oy freight charged for their transportation to market cause the high prices, and enrich a few mammoth corporations at the expense of both the producer and the consumer. This sounds reasonable enough, and may be par- tially trae, but t does not altogether ac- count tor the bigh prices is shown by the fact that in that great center of the grain trade Chicago, corn is daily selling at $1.05; whea; at an average of $195, and flour at 14, So the high freight arcument is not per- fect. The latest theory we have seen advanced is that of a Chicago correspondent of the New York Commercial, who argues that the West- ern tarmers who previous to the war were poor and in deb:. aud compelied to hypothecate their crops before they were gathered, a!l got rich during the war, ard they are now inde. pendent, and can afford to sell or hold on te weir produce just as ‘hey please, and that they do hold on until they get their price. T all very wi bow then? That all of the agencies mentioned have their effect in keeping up prices is likely enough but after ail may not the principal cause of the unprecedented—we will not say unnecessary— bigh prices of breadstuffs be found in the fact that the supply is not so great in proportion to the demand as it was seven years ago. We be. lieve that reliable statistics would show this to be the case. So many men taken from farm- sg pursuits during the war, and becomink producers instead of consumers; vast areas of cleared jand lying anproductive during that Ume; the European demand for our breadatuff, and the rise in gold were among the eanse: which made bread dear. Some of them stil exist, and are yet powerful in keeping up the prices. When they cease to exist altogether, and our production sball be as great in pro portion to the required supply as it was pre- vious to the war, we may expect prices to ap. proximate to the anie-beilum standard—in spite of the efforts of speculators and mono. poliets to keep them up—but not until then. pie Ronen tae ve Scarranixe AWDS.— We are sorry to see that the Richmond journal called Southern Opinion is publishing @ ‘:black list,” which consists of those men who voted the Republican ticket at the late election in Virgimia. There can be but little hope for the era of good feel- ing oF real peace while a course so thoroughly mischievous and suicidal is followed by jour- als professing to represent public sentiment ¥or, while neither Congress nor the people of the North are by any means lost to all sense of charity and justice toward the South, they will, notwithstanding, hardly sit complacent. ly and smilingly down and see their friends and adberents if that section thus ostracised and made odious—if so foolish a course can make them so; and the sooner this fact is real- ized the better for all concerned. We know it may be truly said that these incendiary sheets do not reflect the public feeling: buat it may and will be as truly }wered that they nevertheless have a circu - lation, and receive in some way or other a living support; and this fact is a damaging one. The better judgment of the Southern people should promptly frown down the crim- inal offenders. On the other hand, we rejoice to notice that the more thoughtfal members of the Radical party are coming to see the necessity of promptly putting @ stop to the frantic and incendiary utterance of men of the Hunnicut; “it ls not easy to say which set are doing he most mischief just now in the way of hindering wholesome reconstruction ai the South— the Hunnicutts on the one side, or the Pollards of the Svuthera Opinion school on the other.

Paying house rentis like paying gas bills, very eatisfactory, to say the least of it. Most per- sons can, by judicious and frugal conduct, pay for a moderae tenement, suck as is suited to their wante, in 8 few years: and the agencies above referred to, and the long time generally given im the purchase of fots, put it in the power of almost every man to obtain a home for his family.
