008? OF LIVING [N NEW Y0RK, The Price of Food Preducts Going Up-=Alarm Among Boarding- House Keapers New York Herald Butter is spread very thin upon the bread inmany humble flnmvl just now. The cost of living has increased so heavily during the past three months ~and more Kanicul-rly within the last three weeks—that a general scal- ing down of domestic expenditureshas become necessary to people of moder- ate menns, while the Targs olase de. pendent on daily Iabor for bread ia pinched already, " and is looking for- ward to the winter with fear and trembling. The chief reason assigned for advancing the price of food pro- ducts is the dr‘out{n of the summer, which injured the crops of grain, dried up vegetables of all kinds, and made grazing scarce and poor quality.. This 18 one of tho seasons whon the poor are foreibly dmpressed with the fact that the bounty of the earth is the ae- tual scource of human comfort and prosperity. All the wheels of trade are revolting at full speed, a d traders are waxing fat, yet the cost of ‘‘the poor man’s loaf” goes up apace, while his wagos lag behind. The price of the loafin question, to be #ure, is nomin-& whig it was on the 1st day of Augubt] butit has decreased in size and weight.” The.b cent loaf vhich used to weigh 1 pound 6 ounces now contains only 1 pound 4 ounces; the 8-cont loaf has been reduced 3 ounces to 1 pound 9 .ounces, and the 10-cent loaf now weighs but 2 pounds, where- a8 it was formerly four ounces heavier. ‘When dishonest bakera deals with the ’?oom class of gusto it is doubt- 'ul whéther the loaf will cometip even to the reduced standard. Butter— which with the leaf makes up the great staple of the poor man's family—has advanced about ‘25 per cent, within three months. When the price early crop in this state, and that the vines were generally very much damaged, When fresh meat and green vegeta- bles become dear people in moderate circumstances use less of them and purchase canned goods instead. This fact accounts for a sharp rise in the price of the latter. Ttappears that the canning factories all over the country have put up much smaller uantities this year than usual holesalo dealors stated to the report- er that the canners filled only half their contracts, the crops of vegetables being not only very small but of poor quality And, by the way, there will be little, if any, good celery this fall acoording to the statements of these gentlemen. There is one ray of comfort in the present situation, and it is found in the probability that prices will not go any higher. A prominent wholesale grocer, who kindly furnished the re- purter with comparative prices for a number of articles, stated that in any changes that may come the tendency of prices from this time will be down- ward, Doubtless there would be par ticular articles which would not de- cline; but the fall trade had culminat- ed, the speculative combinations were generally broken, and food products ought to become cheaper. The *‘ cor- nering,” he thought, was responsible for much of the rise. The degree to which legitimato business could be hurt by speculative trickery was, he thought, ‘a very serious question in our political economy, and the neces- sity for some solution of it was being forced upon the people. The ability to corner the great etaples of com- merce first came from the transporta- tion companies discriminating in fa- vor of !Ku larger dealers—in effect, going into partnership with them to ennlfio them to monopolize various branches of trade, The .boss bakers of Jersey City have decided to raise the price of bread 1 cent per loaf on and after in August was 24 to 30 cents a poun: it now_ costs at_retail 30 to 42 cents. Hencc It in ot only #pread but carefully kept out of the hotelsih the slices. Flour of the commonest for 87 a barrel, whereas it can not be had now for Jess than$9. - In former years when flour became dear the laborer with seven children and wages of $1.- 26'a day; used to Tall back ugon pota- toen an b cheap and wholesomediet for the family. But the grocer who sold him a peck . for 14 cents in the first week of August last, now charges 28 cents . for, poorest. quality. Not many pecks in a day's wages at that rate. Being @ thrifty woman his wife could, at tgs time alluded to, have bought a barrel for 8150 to §1 76, but it would require $3 50 to $4 26 to pay for a barrel to-day. DEARNESS OF MEAT AND OTHER FOOD. Getting down to hard pan again, oaten meal is, perhaps, the cheapest and most nutritous of foods, and doubtless increased consumption was an element in the advance of this pro- duct from 4 cents to 6 cents per pound. While the injury to the crops was un- doubtedly sufficient to cause a natural advance of prices, it is admitted by wholesale grocers and others that the speculative ‘‘corning’ ‘of the supply food staples at tho West made therise much sharper and more sudden than it otherwise would have been. In this climate meat is absolutely neces- sary to susiain life, but the dearness of even the chea animal food makes it unattainable to the laboring classes. The failure of the corn crop in many districts of the West made hog food so dear that farmers found it more profitable during the latter. part of summer t) convert their pigs into pork and sell the grain, which other- wise would have gone to fatten the animals for the market in the fall. Hence there was an unusually early rush of pork to the great packin%ceu- tors; once in barrels it wa® bought up by speculators, but the supply was so large that the advance in this class of meat has not been 8o very excessive. However, hams have risen from 14 to 18 cents a pound, and shoulders from 8to 12 cents. Sausages, salted pork and bacon have not yet risen much; nor haslard. Inbeef prices havegone very much higher indeed. For thebest ~eef about 30 percent,more is charged than at this time last year, and whole- sale butchers claim that top figures have not yet been reached. In con- sequence of this restaurant and hotel proprietors all over town have been marking up the prices on bills of fare. In the first-class restaurants where a sirlo n steak used to cost 75 cents the charge is now 81, and a Porter-house, which was formerly sold at §1, now costs $1 50. At Delmonico’s down town jan extra fillet of beef can now be eaten only by one ‘who can afford to pay $260 forit. Hotels on the Kuropean plan have not generall; raised their tarift for rooms, but all | P! have clapped an increase on the bills of fare. At'the up-towns hotels on the American plan the charge which last year was $4, and was subsequent- ly raised to $4 50, has been advanced to 85. That much abused creature, the *‘boarding missus,” has become thoroughly frightened at the changed aspect of affairs and is giving the young men notice that they must con- tribute larger ' sams per week to the support of the establishment. It isa fact that many have given up keeping boarders as theve wus no profit in the business under present conditions, An instance 'came under the writer's observation ficswrdn of a small res- taurateur in Maiden Lane selling out - %ace withlthe intention of séeking employment 88 & waiter in one of the large establishments, He said his customers would not stand an ad- vance, and he could not make a living at the existing figures on his carte, “‘CORNERS'' THE CARSE OF COBTLINESS, As the dealers can ot very well claim that drouth affected tea, coffee, sugar or molasses, these staj re- main very near the prices which pre- vailed last year. The, coal crop was certainly not affected and there has been no further advance on the high prices made for anthracite last win- ter, On the other hand, kerosene oil has gone up $2 per barrel and now sells at 810 50. The small dealer who pays this advance naturally claps on a still heavier one when he deals it out by the quart. Milk has advanced from 8 to 10" cents a quart, and eggs from 18 to 24 centsa dozen, The re- porter who gathered these facts yes- to discovered the existence of a ‘‘corner” in beans! At any rate, they are 16.cents per quart now sgainst 10 cents!in August, and there is said t mourning in Boston, Dealers d | Monday next. SPEEOH OF WENDELL PHILLIPS, In Atd of Irish od in Boston, Frrrow ormizens:—I remember a, similar gathering;under thisroof, when we cama together to welcome Dillon and Pnnalflo their labors on this side of the water. Mr. Parnell hasan imperative engagement which keeps him front being with \I:.El lause and lsughter.] | Our friend &Ffia waa not surprised at the recent agtion of the Administration in Enpland. Well, we at a distance are like theold listen- er to the college debates in Latin. He was at a distance because he didn’t understand the language, and we are 3000 miles off. When some one asked of him what use was his attendance, and how he judged the debate, he said: “I have no trouble; I watch the two men keenly, and the man who gets mad first has no argument.” [Applause.] We all remember that twenty years ago, under this roof, the men who could not be answered were mobbed. 8o I think that in England to-day, the men who can not be answered are ut in jail. [Applause.] If Mr. ladstone could haye answered Par- nell, he would have appealed to argu- ment, civilization and intellect to right him. He felt himself weak in argument and appealed to force. Now, as [ told you on that occasion, you can not shoot an idea. Neither can you imprison an idea. The momant the man who represents it is within four walls, every humane eye, every enlightened heart, every glorious aspiration, centers upon him, and he Deliver- Night and moral movement of the age. [Applause.] THANK GOD THAT GLADSTONE ARRESTED PARNELL. He lifted him from being the head of the Land League to being the head of the great moral and humane move- ment of the age. [Appl-uw.} But it was no surprise to me that Mr. Glad- stone committed the final blunder of arresting his great antagonist. You have reminded us, sir, that in that great strugfle when freedom hung in the critical balance in these forty states, the voice that came from the leader of the great Liberal party was an amen to Jefferson Dayis, who tried to turn this free republic into a slave- holding despotism. [Applause.] What wonder that the same man t{o-day should do his utmost to perpetuate slavery among the peasautsof Ireland 7 T don’t believe there is a drop of liber- alblood n all of Mr. Gladstone's body. Applause.] From the crown of hi- ead to the soul of his feet there isn't a drop of blood that looks forward— not one; every one looks backward, In his youth he was a firm and un- yielding Tory, and the Jews have a roverb, “Don’t trust a convert, even to the third generanion.” [App'ause.” The Jews might quote Mr. Glad- stone as sufficient proof of the truth of their ancient proverb, He thinks he is going to subdue Ireland. Well, men the latchet of whose shoes he is not worthy to unloose, have tried that job 400 years and failed. g}Arp]nunu,'] Cicero said to a Roman ully, I have laughed at Catiline's sword; what do I care for yours?’ 80 Ireland may say to the chancellor of the exchequer, Cromwell could not conquer me, nor William IIL: and I forced Wellington for the third time in his life to surrender; what care I for this windy Tory ina weak skiff? g:gplnuu.] Mr. = Gladstone sces ily, as our friend sald, 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 of men and women, heart- broken and poyerty-stricken, on the soil of Ireland, He may cover it with troops, from Belfust to Cork, and from Dublin to Connaught, but he hasn't réached freland as she lives n these riotic breasts; he has not reach the 10,000,000 burning hearts who have never forgotten their native land, Besides, the civilization of the age is fighting for Ireland. The Illinois farmer can put down a uarter of wheat in the market of iverpool 20 shillings cheaper than the English farmer can do it; and that takes the rivet out of the landed aris- tocracy of Great Britain, [Applause.] The fiery cross of land reform light- ens the hill tops of Scotland; the wa- ters are flooding the world. What is one man, what is one administration, against the spirit of the age! Why, this serene and beautiful spirit laug at a race, or a great name, when it becomes the pivot of the intellectual | & seems a tiny steam! But as he pro- ceeds in his task ho finds the stream connects with the great ocean, and he ia trying the vain and superfluous task of drinking up the ocean. Now Mr. Gladstone sees only 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 Irishmon; he doesn’t see the great spirit of humanity, the civiliza- tion of the age, behind her; and he might as well try to drink the ocean a8 to attompt to conquer the living spirit which for 400 years, nay, for 700, has nssortod itself. [Applause.] He is in a task which, consider- iog race, is impossible, You may weigh it against what gallant and per- sistent race you please; you may take Poland, the most nn!innl E”EIB in mck into Europe, that flung the Turk Constantinople and saved the cross from the crescent, and ot Poland is a name trodden out within the limits of 200 years of Russian oppression. For 700 years depopulated, starved, trod- den ‘under foot, Ireland, with the cross of her faith in one hand and the emblem of her nationality in the other, has defied the most obstinate and mast triumphant kingdom on the face of the carth [applause], and she stands to-day the pivot of British pol- itics, on which turn and by which are judged the great ocivil questions of the iemlor of the English race. And yet this boaster undertakes to do what for 700 years Englishmen have triod to do and_failed. [Applauae.] Oh no, oh no, Mr. Chancellor, you may thrust starving women and dying men out of their homes; you may stamp out everythin, that is happy in Ire- land; yes, perhaps for a moment you may even stamp out resistance, but liberty knows nothing about victory. [Appllllln,& lmu](in%> ont on the resent and judging by the past, Ire- and will stand happy and prosperous when Gladstone’s name will rot with Wetterburne, Lord Eldon and Lord North.

Five Hundred Girls Strike Against a “Horrid"” Foreman, Now York Special 40 The Chicago Tribuve. Nearly 500 girls: who work in the stripping department of Lorillard’s tobacco factory in Jersey City are out on a strike, and, taking all the circum- stances into consideration, it is one of the strongest labor strikes bably that was ever inaugurated. One would naturally suppose that a re- fusal to labor on the part of so lnrfie a number of employes would be' the result of an insufficiency of wages, but, unlike men who consider them- selves poorly paid and resort to sus- pension of work to right their wrongs, the girls do not profess to have any serious grievance. It appears from what they themselves say, that they are fighting against a system of re- straintthatis peculiarly ungallant to the female tobacco-workers’' mind. In the words of one of the leaders in the movement, who EXPLAINED THE -TROUBLE. to-day, “The girls were not allowed to have any fun.” The firm,no doubt, obsorving that the old foreman was letting the girls do pretty ‘much as they_ ple , and not docking them for short time, etc., replaced this man with one who has completely soured the girls’ hearts, and caused them to refi in a body. Said one of the irla: ¢The truth of it is, he is altogether too strict. have any fun at all. It is awfully dull to be obliged to work hard and have to keep as quiet as mice. When a girl wants to laugh or sing she don’t like to hear the foreman say, as cross asa bear: ‘Shut up there and stop that noise.” Our old foreman was not 8o strict.” 8o, not being allowed to carry on during working hours, the girls, nearly 500 strong, ARE ON A STRIKE, and declare as one girl, that they won’t go back so long as the horrid old foreman is retained. The strike has its effect on about 200 men also, who are obliged to lie idle just be- cause the strippers have struck, and it is a little hard, as one of them said to-day, that they should be obliged to knock off work just because a lot of foolish girls want a holiday.
