Edward Atkin- son, of this city, read a well digested essay upon the high price of food. He claimed that the advance in the price of food since 1860 was over eighty per cent, while labor had advanced 1éss than sixty per cent, and the same relation would be found when reckoned on @ gold basis. One of the im- mediate causes of this unjust proportion was bad legislation, The issue of unredeemable money by the government was one example, No nation 1s really progressing whose increase M4 wealth does not beneit the lowest classes, a4 laws or bonaty or protective laws do not benefit the m but tinpede the prosperity of any nation.

With her has probably passed away, with @ single exception, the only living witness to one of the dastardly outrages perpetrated upon the honor of the then young and comparatively weak republic of the United States by Great Britain during the year 1807, i attacking while at peace the unsus- pecting frigate Chesapeake, killing a numper of her crew and forcibly taking from on board three American seamen, with one British deserter, under’ the arrogant and baseless assumption of the right of impressment and search.
