The High Price of Provisions.
In speaking of the high prices of provis
ions, and the scarcity of money the Philadel
phia Ledger, justly remarks that the univer
sal complaint that provisions are too high, is
not without foundation. Now that a dollar,
for more practical purposes, should buy more
than it has done for years it is a curious
thing, to say the least, that it will hardly
command the usual quantity of the food
which composes the necessaries of life. If
one wishes to purchase furniture, or dry
goods, or horses, or carriages, or stocks, or
anything, in fact, except bread, meat, vege
tables, milk and butter, he can obtain them
greatly cheaper than he could six months
ago. Not so however with provisions. As
yet, the products of the.soil have been able
to resist, in a large degree, the downward
tendency of prices. These high prices of
agricultural products under a contracting
currency, whose purchasing power should
every day be growing greater are not found
ed in reason, and cannot be maintained.—
From every quarter of the Union, for exam
ple, we hear only of abundant crops. Un
der any circumstances, therefore, the price
of wheat must have come down; but in-the
present stringency of the money market, a
heavy decline has occured, and is still in
progress. Farmers, to sell their products,
must accomodate the price to the general de
cline. Accordingly, at all the great central
points of the West, grain has fallen in price.
The necessity of economy, which four fami
lies out of every five is feeling, will tend
still further to bring down wheat. The needy
will be careful to avoid waste. What is true
of this great cereal, is true also of other
simple agricultural products. It will take
time to effect this reduction, but it is just as
inevitable as the contraction in the amount
of money which measures and controls pri
ces. But as all prices under such a process
come - down together, their relative values are
not . altered, or, in other words, the same
amount of flour or potatoes will exchange
for the same amount of groceries or dry
goods, or any other exchangeable value
which the owner of the flour and potatoes
may need. The value of every product is
measurable in a less amount of dollars but
in the same amount of products. The pro
cess of reduction is slow, because every pro
ductive interest is fighting, though increpen
dandy, against it; but it is a sure one, be
cause the interests of all the consilmers
\ 1 \
larger number, are united to effect it
From tho P 1 t<. Pommyhargan
A Remedy for the Times.
.
Most .of our factories, mines, and iron
works have stopped. The mechanical trades
are languishing. The number of people
thrown out of employment, already alarm
ingly great, is daily increasing. The win
ter is approaching, and the small savings of
our mechanics, artificers, and laborers—the
most numerous class of the community—are
rapidly diminishing. Before long the last
hard earned dollar will be spent, the last ar
ticle of furniture and clothing that possibly
may bo spared, pawned perhaps, and what
then? They must live, they, their wives
and little ones, and where and how are they
to obtain the means of subsistence? Some
thing must be done without delay. On this
point all agree. What is it? Some of our
cotemporaries appeal to charity—charity,
private and public. But the distress is too
general to be relieved by this means. Again
there are those who could not be reached by
charity. Their feelings of self respect for
bid them to receive anything, save in pay
ment of their labor. These feelings society
is bound to honor; they form its moral foun
dation. Let society be careful not to lower
the standard of human dignity. Employ
ment, we repeat it, is the only solution of
this problem. Coal is needed, shelter and
clothinr , and all other necessaries of life are
wanted in the same measure now as formerly
and indeed in a higher, for the very reason
that for some time past the production of
them has been impaired. The true remedy
lies not in retrenchment alone, nor in &na
tions, however liberal the hand that extends
and charitable the heart that prompts them.
It lies in redoubled activity. It is absolutely
impossible to meet the emergency in any
other way, and whatever the conditions are
of an instant resumption of work, they
must be accepted. The changes in the rela
tions of capital and labor which altered cir
cumstances will devolve, should be promptly
anticipated by mutual concessions. Com
promises should be made in a rational and
friendly spirit to the advantage of all par
ties interested. - Production of the necessa
ries of life should not cease, for, it would
superadd scarcity to the prevailing financial
disorders. We must continue to mine coal,
to erect shelter, and to produce fabrics, for,
these things are daily used and consumed.—
Under our system of paper inflation every
thing has been unduly enhanced. After the
collapse of that system, its effects cannot
long continue to influence" our condition. A
marked reduction of prices accompanied, or
immediately followed upon its downfall, indi
cating the direction winch our efforts for the
restoration of the disturbed equilibrium of
business ought to take. Rents have assumed
under the stimulus of our system of paper
expansion an exhorbitant height; they have
to come down, because the system dill.—
Tames must be reduced by greater adminis
trative economy. The market price of pro
visions, of bread, meat, butter, vegetables
must be lowered; clothing and all must be
come cheaper. This, indeed, will be the ul
timate and inevitable result of the process
that is going on under our eyes. True wis
dom dict a te s not only sabmission to the inev
itable, but often advises us to hasten its con
summation. Once the equilibrium of val
ues re-established, there can he no doubt,
but that activity will be resumed. All will,
then, be contented and prosperous again.—
One of our cotemporaries proposes that the
cities should appeal to the charitable feelings
of the country population to assist their dis
tressed inhabitants. We have little faith in
the efficacy of such measures, for reasons
already explained. We appeal to the com
mon sense of our farmers, and their manly
honor. We appeal to their reason, as we ap
peal to that of our manufacturers, merchants,
retinnort, mechanics and landlords. Let all
do their duty and compromise and settle in
an amicable spirit their differences. Let far
mers come down with the price of their
market goods, readily accommodating them
selves to the altered conditions of things.—
This they will have to do compulsOrily, if
they do not do it voluntarily. The question
is simply one of time, only their holding out
aggravates the present evils. Let landlords
practice forbearance on the same principle
and for the same reasons. Let them be sat
isfied with a reduced rent, rather, than sub
ject tenants to the expense and trouble of
moving. This is, after all, only accelerating,
the process of general reduction that has be
come unavoidable. Let people of indepen
dent means live as they were accustomed to;
let them not be actuated by miserly , consid
erations, and pay as they go along in cash
for all their - wants, for, it is of the greatest
consequence that all our monetary means
should be put into circulation. Manufac
turers must resume work. If they cannot
afford to employ their people an entire day,
let three quarters or half of a day's work be
performed, so that those who depend for a
living on their daily labor may never be
wholly destitute of means. Let goodwill and
harmony not be wanting between the differ
ent parties. Let there be concert of action,
and above all things, let the money required
for the purpose of a revival of business not
be withheld any longer. It is in the coun
try. It was here two and three months ago,
and is here yet. Let those who hold it re
member, that unless it be employed immedi
ately, and unless the working classes be ena
bled to purchase with the proceeds of their
labor their share of the abundance of our
harvest, neither that abundance however
large, or charitable actions of whatever de
scription, nor any legislative devices imagi
nable will prevent an accumulation of evils
during nest winter that may baffie all efforts
of control. Every day that work remains
suspended adds to our difficulties. Prudence
and humanity both dictate that weshould do
without delay what we will be forced to do
hereafter.

Sheriff 31iller, John Hight and George Clements, also
exhibited horses deserving the especial notice of all who
prize a safe, durable, and reliable family horse,
Best pair of mules. Lore & McDivitt, 6 00
The extreme inclemency of the weather—the large
amount of stock on hand—the want of classifittion of the
same—the very limited premiums offered, and the lack of
a discretionary power, placed us in rather a peculiar situ
ation, nevertheless, as far as was in our power, in our
judgment. differing as individuals would necessarily do ac
cording to the nature of things, we hope that we have
rendered justice to those most deserving, and also hope
that those persons to whom we have not awarded premiums
will view the circumstances in their proper light. The
committee would strongly and respectfully recommend,
that at someone of the Agricultural meetings, a sufficient
time previous to the next annual exhiLition, a committee
be appointed from different parts of the county consisting
of good practical farmers, and especially tbos'e who take
an interest in good stock, and the improvement of the
same, to make a list of premiums, and further that the
committee appointed to examine horse stock be hereafter
endowed with a discretionary power.

CLASS 14.—FLOWERS.
In the judgment of the committee floriculture has ad.
'canoed in this county witaiin the last few years, and the
display of plants and flowers at the present, is better than
that of any former exhibition.
Mrs. Mary Miller contributed twenty-three pots of flow
ers, in bloom, consisting of roses and verbenas of various
colors, petunias, pinks, Sze.
Miss Jane Woods displayed eighteen pots of plants in
bloom, comprising roses, pinks, phloxes, petunias, &c., and
also a beautiful and well arranged baguet.
Gan. 3. C. Walton's Indy furnished several stalks of
dahlias in bloom, as well as a boquet of dahlias and ano
ther of various flowers, tastefully arranged.
And several other ladies, whose names will be mention
ed in connexion with premiums, exhibited rich and v‘ ell
arranged boquets; and all these together rendered the
floral department of the Fair quite a gay and attractive
spot. The committee regret that some flowers were upon
the stand which were neither labelled nor entered upon the
books, and the contributors consequently unknown to the
committee.
After a careful examination of air the plants and flowers
the committee award the following premiums :
To Mrs. Mary Miller, of Huntingdon, for the best dis
play of flowers in bloom, $2 00
Miss Jane Woods, of Huntingdon, for the second best
display of flowers in bloom, - 100
Mrs. Caroline Watson, of Mill Creek, for a display of
dahlias and a boquet, 1 00
And to the following named persons the following pre
miums for boquets of dahlias and culled flowers:

CLASS Ia—PRINTING.
The specimens exhibited were of branches of the art so
different as to render comparison difficult.
Wm. Lewis, for the "Globe" office, exhibited a large 'va
riety of mercantile and legal blanks. business cards, and
handbills, which came more immediately within the divis
ions to which premiums were allotted. They were evi
dently copies of the custom work done at his office, all
tastefully got up, and admirably executed, reflecting great
credit on the office, and would compare favorably with the
work of any office in our large cities.
Win. Brewster, from the "Journal" office, had only a
limited number of specimens, and those fancy and orna
mental, being printed in colors and bronze, and evidently
specimens printed as such ; consequently less perfect than
they could have been had a quantity been printed. They
were all neatly displayed, exhibiting much taste, and some
of the business cards were very beautifully executed. The
only blank exhibited by Mr. Brewster was a Broad Side
Deed, especially deserving of notice, as a fine specimen of
blank printing, being certainly equal if not better than
any blank on exhibition.
Under the circumstances, your committee, believing that
the efforts of our printers to establish for their art a repu
tation for taste and beauty, are deserving of commenda
tion and encouragement, and accordingly make the follow
ing award:
Wm. Lewis, for the largest variety and best specimens of
Business Cards and Blanks, 1 00

bills, I. 00
