SUNBURY, NOVEMBER 27, 174.
A Chance. Previous to the election
the Democrat cried out "a change and we
promise you bolter times." In whatever
way the change that is needed, and which
must come in some way or other, is a reduc
tion in the cost of living. The reduction
of wages of from thirty to fifty per cost, in
manufacting districts, Ins, as yet, had no
effect upon the prices of the necessaries and
common comforts of life. Food of some
kind is as high as ever. Butter, eggs, beef,
pork, potatoes, etc., are still at war juices,
but we doubt if they can be much longer
maintained. The farmer makes a mistake
if he supposes that he will continue to
flourish and get great profits while wages
are falling daily, and mechauices and labor
ing men have little or no money to spend.
The wages in manufactures must fall still
lower, but farm products will have to drop
accordingly. It is possible for pig iron to
go as Ww as fifteen dollars a ton, but wages
would then be from fifty to sixty cents a
day, and eggs should tail to six cents a
dozen, butler to twelve and a half cents a
pound, potaUxs to twenty-five cents a
bushel, aud other things proportionally
which would be a decline from present
prices of about seventy-five per cent. We
can't have Free Trade aud anti-war prices ;
in manufacturing industry, and monopoly !
and war prices in agricultural products.
The. effort to maintain the latter, under the
change in the Tarilfwhich is now threaten-
d, would send large uuuibers of men from
workshops to the land. They would be-J
come producers, iustead of Iving consum
ers of food, and would be the farmer's l i
vals instead of his customers. Reduction i mittees and delegations of merchants and

The Lfsox. The cause of the late le
verse sustained by the Republican party,
has been discussed by nearly every Journa
list, and the regrets over the victories and
defeat?, have in a measure died away.
The c.iu.-es and itisluences, which operated
toward the one end and the other, begin to
be takeu into consideration. The two
great political parties, which have so long
divided the country and promises to divide
it for some years, that we are looking into
the future,it will be wise for the li.-imMiciui
leaders to calmly glance into the immediate
past, and sfk out and remedy the evils
which have brought the parly to its present
condition. The more thoughtful of the
party leader, on both hides, unite in the
opinion, that the hard times have
had more to do with the reverses f the
Republican party, than the hard knocks it
received either iu Congress, iu the news
papers, or on the stump. When Congress
met last Ieeunlor, says the Washington
lh jii'hi 'evi , the country was et.-igget ing
under the effects of the panic of the preced
ing September. For nearlj- two months
the prostrate industries of the country have
been anxiously awaiting it's meeting,in the
expectation that w ith it would comc anend
to the suffering and distress that were felt
upon eveiy hand. If the reader will go
back to the. newspapers of that day, he will
find that the I 'resident was urged to call
Congn ss together in advance of its regular
time of meeting ; but he did not do so, and
when the hour of final adjournment came,
in the early days of the following summer.
the fc'iin and substauce of its work only
showed the wisdom of the course lie saw
fit to persue.
"The winter and the. spring wire all i
wasted in idle talk and discussion : in the
airing of all maimer of crazy theories by
all manner of speculative, impractical men.

"The Republican party can be made
stronger before the country by 1S7U than it
has been for vears. if it wilt only c
eize the opportunity within its grasp dur-
ing the next three months. But if it shall
persist in going on as it has been going,
when the next election comes there will be
scarcely enough left of it to call a conven
tion or make nominations. It will not do, as
some of our contemporaries and leaders are
whispering and suggesting, to stand still
and give the Opposition, flushed with suc
cess anu victory, rope enough. That is

Those who undertakes to organize the
victorious Democratic party for the next
Congress and the next natioual canvass for
President will discover one subject upon
which the Representatives of the South arc
not likely to prove of the samo opinion us
they were before the war. We refer to the
fostering of domestic industry by means of
a protective tariff". For iu the interval that
has e'a used since thu conflict closed, the
South has devoted its attention to the cs-
ablishment of mining and manufacturing
interests with an earnestness and a zeal
boru of the experience of that conflict. To
their infant industries protection is not
merely desirable ; it is essential, and whelh
her their Representatives be white or black,
and whether they call themselves Republi
cans. Democrats or Conservatives, thry
will general!- Ik; found impressed with the !
necessity of stimulating domestic industry.
Rut in the meantime the industrial de
velopment of the North has grown to be
prodigious, while the pressure of the im
porting interests has become so great that
the protective duties have been seriously
reduced. Thus it happens that free trade

in the hall-way, and a chant was iudulged

Putter and cheese are almost indispensa

are uulritious and healthy ; but an inor

Destitution In Huumik.
Atchison, Kansas, Nov. 21. The Dally
Champion publishes from advance sheets
of official reports made to the State Board
of Agriculture some statistics showing the
destitution existing in several of the frontier
counties of this State. Seventeen counties,
in which there uiv an aggregate of 1"0,000
acres planted in eru, produced not a bush
el of this cereal. Five of these counties
produced au average crop of wheat, ryp,
oats, bai ley, and buck w heat ,aud areabuud
antly able to relieve any individual cases
of destitution in their midst. Tho other
twelve couuties, having an aggregate popu
lation of 23,0(X, are all on tho remote fron
tier, and settlements in them have all been
made within three years. The eight in
which the greatest destitution prevails have
all licen populated within the past year or
two, and the greater part of their popula
tion settled within their limits either last
spring or the preceeding fall. These eight
have an aggregate population of 17,000 set
tlers, who generally had their first crop
planted. They had expended all of their
means in building their houses and putting
in their ctops. Drought and grasshoppers
brought a total destruction of everything
they had planted, leaving them totally des
titute. They are without cither food,
clothing, or fuel to sustain them until they
can produce something on which to live,
and must be sustained by charitable con
tributions of the people in other sections of
the State and the country at large.
The ('ftohipion computes the number of
destitute m the State at from twenty to
twenty-live thousand, but of these, many
are located in older counties, where the
crops, with the exception of corn, were a
fair average, and more fortunate citizens
are able and willing to help their destitute
is very genera!, and almost the whole popu
lation will need more or less assistance.
At least lt,000 people must be assisted dur
ing the winter and until another crop is
grown.

Full of significance for next winter, is
the falling off in the number of public balls
lo be given. People have not the money
to spend on dress and entertainments.
There used to be a score of balls given by
political clubs every season, not one of
which is on record for the coming winter.
The great annual masquerade of the Arion
Society of rich Germans, which used to
count its guests by thousands,is withdrawn
from the Academy of Music, to a smaller
hall, :i significant triumph of prudenec over
pride, for the rivalry has been high be
tween this club and the Liederkranz as to
which should show the largest and most
brilliant house at their annual balls. Very
few military balls will be given in compari
son with former seasons, and cheap balls
for the lower classes will be foregone in
dulgences. The thought in every one's
mind will be, not how to dance, but how
to dine, and there is such a prudent taking
in of sail as makes one of the most cheering
' indications for the stormy season ahead.
People are not ashamed either to talk or lo
practice economy. The word is passed
round that such and such families do not
entertain this season, aud no offence is
taken, and no aspersion of closeness made.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE POOR
is a problem which wise heads are intense
ly occupied in solving. Not a few of the
radically-disposed newspapers finish the
question in a sufficiently easy way to them
selves by denouncing all plans of relit f, and
all charities except the offer of work. The
dread of drawing paupers from outside of
the city, by the idea of soup-houses aud
free lodgings, weighs heavily on the minds
of some respectable gentlemen, and not
those who contribute most to such chati
ty either. It is very well to say, if any man
will not work, neither let him eat : but
what about the women and children, who
are likely to starve when the foundry door
closed, and the factory turns off its hands
before work can be hunted up. Josiah
Bouuderby, of Coketown, has a large num
ber of family connections, who are busily
crying down the idea of relief, in the news
papers. Every effort will be made by the
benevolent to find work for those who want
it this season, but there must be piteous
suffering among the destitute, which only
the freely-given loaf and pail of soup, and
warm shelter, will prevent from staining
our civilization with wholesale starvation,
and deliberate murder. There is not work
enough for the thousands who must have
work whereby they may earn their bread,
and the bread must come from somewhere.
The objection to soup-houses and free
distribution generally, which has positive
weight, is the fact that within a week after
the inauguration of any free system of
charity which gives food and shelter to-all
who ask, every lazy cur in the country
makes his way somehow to the city, and
lives here till the charities close, in the
luxurious idleness that such men love. The
number of great, stout, big-limbed, healthy
men who haunt the soup-houses and the
free-lodging houses would surprise you.
They come by the thousands the moment
the cold weather prevents them from sleep
ing in barns and living by beggary and
theft in the country. It is a discouraging
thing to have well-meant, charity diverted
from its proper channels in this way ; to
have relief intended lo assist the deserving
poor made to foster professional beggary.
But what can be doue? Because the thieves
get the half of all that is given, the honest
i poor cannot bo allowed to starve. And so,
j I presume, the soup-houses and frce-lodg-j
ing houses will be opened again, and the
! just and the unjust fed together.
REDLXTION OK WAGES OK TEACHERS.
There is trouble among the teachers.
The instructors iu the public schools of this
j city have always been paid just enough to
keep soul and body together, that is, if the
body is strong enough and the soul suffi
ciently subdued not to require much for to
keep them alive. The average wages of
the teachers in the primary schools was
l"i0 per year, and in the higher schools
S7.10. Now nobody can get decent board
in this city for less than 10 per week, or
j 5.120 per year, and the board you get at
that price would not come under the head
j of luxurious by auy means. Add to this
tlie cost or washing, of car-fare to and from
her school; and you can figure how much
the poor girl had left for clothes, to say
nothing of an occasional book, or a concert,
j or anything iu the way of diversion.
! AVhat do you suppose the Board of Ap
pointment of this great, ri'' citv ---
to do, or rather lm "'y ' They have
jeiiDcratciy struck off 7 per cent, of these
meagre salaries ! Think of it ! The teach
ers remonstrate, but to no purpose. They
are informed that thousands of qualified
jieoplc stand ready to take their places, at
even a greater reduction, and that the in
evitable "law of supply and demand" must
come in here, as it docs everywhere else ;
that the Board is bound, by its duly to the
tax-payers, to get its work done as cheaply
as it can. And the Board, after making
this reply, probably adjourucd to a supper
that cost all it had wrenched from the poor
! teachers which you may be sure the tax
' payers paid for.
j How natural it is to pass from this state
j incut of oppression to a picture that follow
ed it, uamefy,
THE RAID UPON HOUSES OF ILL KAME
1
that took place Saturday night. This was
j :i curious sccue. The police wer put into
I plain clothes, so as not to alarm their iu
! tended game, and an indiscriminate raid
was made upon gambling dens, houses of
prostitution, and street-walkers. In one
greasy den sixty-two men and women were j
arrested, all of them playing "policy." ;
Thirty-one houses were "pulled," the ar- i
rests numbering over a thousand, then
operations were commenced on the btreel j
walkers. Officers weie instructed to gob-1
ble every woman of bad repute on l!road- j
way and the streets leading from it, and in '
less than two hours, three hundred were
i safely stowed away in safety. It was a sad
sight, those persons on Sunday moruiug.
I cared nothing for tWt men, but my heart
bled for the women. There were amoug
them hundreds of modest, innocent-looking
girls, who bore upon their faces only the
suguiesL traces oi sin, who were unmis-
takably the victims of circumstances. These
wept bitterly at the exposure of their de-
gradation, many keeping their faces to the
walls or hidden in their hauds, that they
might not be seen. Possibly the next raid
will catch some of the very teachers whose
salaries a well-fed and comfortable board
cut down to below the starvation point.
Who kuows V Necessity drove half the
girls captured last Saturday night to evil
courses, and every such action swells the
ranks of the vicious. If a girl's love for
life is stronger than her power of endurance,
when huuger and cold and despair have
conquered her sense of shame, it is a very
short step from virtue to vice, and an easy
one. The girls who hid their faces Sunday
morning from shame will, after one or two
more arrests. look out souarelv and bra-
zeuly in your face, and laugh at your pity- i
ing looks. After this stage, there comes i
about a year of wild :iot, and then some
morning the body is taken out of the river,
and, without identification, buried in Pot
ter's Field. But the f it, sleek Hoard, every
member living in good houses, and feeding
well every day, with daughters carefully
looked after, cuts oft' seven per cent, of the
already beggarly salaries of the poor girls
who teach the youth of the city, and upon
whose labors their welfare depends. It's a
curious world; the.

steadily improves. The jieoplc seem to
have, let up at last, aud have exhausted the
stocks at home, compelling the retailers to
replenish. For this, New York is thank
ful. The faces of the merchants are widen
ing perceptibly, and the mourners don't
go about the street as much as they did.
The West is buying quite freely, and the
South is doing much better than we had
any right to expect. The prospect is get
ting better and better, aud sonic merchauts
insist that the year is not going to foot up
so badly, after all.
THE WEATHER
has shifted, and Jupiter Pluvius now
reigns. That is to say, it rains. The wet
is descending in torrents, the streets are
nasty aud slushy, and the city is as disa
greeable as possible. But we want the
rain, and so we lake it pleasantly. May it
continup a week. Pirrrrto.

"A Magnificent Conception, wonderfi
carried out.
The necessity of a popular medium for
representation of the productions of our g
artists, has always been recognized, and m
attempts have been made to meet the want,
successive failures which so invariably folio
each attempt in this country to establish an
journal, did not prove the indifference of the
pie of America to the claims of hiirh ar'.
soon as a proper appreciation of the want
au ability to meet il were shown, the publi
once rallied with enthusiasm to its support,
the result was a great artistic and commrr
triumph THE ALDIXE.
THE ALDIXE, while issued with all the r
larity, has none of the temporary or timel;
terest characteristic of ordinary periodicals ,
is an elegant miscellany of pure, light,
graceful literature ; and a collection of picti
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in t

entirely to the reproduction of native art.

art taste, one that will discriminate only
grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while pis.,

ing characteristic, the productions of the n
noted American artists, attention will always,
given to specimens from foreign masters, gi
subscribers all the pleasure and instruction
tainable from home or foreign sources.
The artistic illustration of American seen
