HARD TIME*.
Tho 4ioo<l Old Aute-llellmii Dayv |
un Compared with the l'rcxeut
Hard Time*.
i'OMt ol Liviui; aud Salaries Paid:
Then and .How.
Now that everybody in erring "hard1
times,'' and complaining of tho scarcity
of monev and the high price of the neces-1
paries ol life, a brief review of the mar-1
kets, in connection with the wages paid be-1
fore and after the rebellion, way- bo found
interesting. In tho palmy uava "befo'
the wall," when every man jingled hard
money In bin |>ockct, the country was!
reaping the benetita of bountiful harvests,
peace, plenty and prosperity. But how
marked the "change. The entire nation
was Huddenlv called to arms; otliees,
stores, workshops and fields were deserted
for the pomp and pageantry and circumstance
of glorious war. \Ve all remember
tho steady advance of rent*, of
clothing, of provisions, of the little luxuries
we hau been in the habit of enjoying
at a trilling cost. At the close of tho
war prices were at their highest,and maintained
a uniform rate until about 1870,
since which time a gradual shrinkage is
perceptible. With theadvancc in the cost
of living wages also rose, no doubt more
esjjccially for tho reason that during the
war workmen were hard to get at any
price. Wages, also, have been reduced
within the past live yearn from war rates,
and corftfideralilv lower, too, tlfan the
, corresponding decline in tho cost of living.
Jlutthat all our readers may see
and judge for themselves we append below
a table containing the wage* paid
workingracn in 1S4J0, just before the rebellion,
in 1870, live years after the cruel
war was over, and at the present time.
It is impossible to give one quotation, ns
a general rule, that will cover exactly
either wages or prices of living, anil
therefore we generally give two.

It will be observed that the salaries of
the railroad men are now the same, or
nearly so, as in 1800. This in ay not l>e
entirely correct, as the ligtircs lor the
year 1S00 were given from memory alone,
there being no data in the city by which
to obain the necessary information. The
wages paid nt glass ho.uscs, quoted above,
were obtained from the books of Messrs.
Ilobbs it Barnes, who were proprietors of
the South Wheeling Glass Works in
1.S00, and the present firm, J. II.* Ilobbs,
Brockunier & Co. We take the salaries
naid on^Wlieeling and Parkersbtirg and
Wheeling and Cincinnati packets for our
steamboat quotations. The wages of the
mill men, mechanics, clerks, etc., were
uniform in the city ho far as our observation
extend*.
Having fhown the earnings of the
workinginen, we now propose to show
the cost of living in the years mentioned.
Only articlc* in ordinary use, going to
mako up the necessaries of a family, arc
quoted. These articles nro in common
use by the families of the capitalist ami
the workingman, and will he equally interesting

Willi the exception of dry goods",
which arc a* low ami in Konic in*latice*
lower now than in 1800, there is still a
wide difference in prices. For instance
print* which sold in 1800 at 0)al2^c per
yard now sell at UalOc per yard, and
"Wheeling stogies," which could lie pur*
chased in 'GO for $1 60 per 1,000, can not
now lie bought for lew than $10 per 1,000.
However, Uncle Sam considered
the latter nrticle a luxury when ho much
money was needed for the public service,
and taxed it accordingly, very wisely, we
think, discriminating a* much at possible
in favor of the real necessities of life.
The lax upon chewing tobacco ha* been
correspondingly heavy, and thee who
indulge in the weed now pay nearly five
time* a* much for the luxnrv a* thev did
inlSGO.
There ha* been quite an important Recline
in the price of men's clothing within
the pant live yearn. As shown bv our
figure*, a common cassitncre business
suit, such as is worn on the street every
day, oan now be had made to order, in
the latest fashionable style, for $25,
against $30 in lS70and$15in I860. The
difference in the cost of liner clothing is
till greater; a tine dress suit of the best
ijuality in I860 cost but $30, in 1870 as
high a* $75, and now from $45 to $60.
As it may be Interesting to some of the
youngsters of the present day to known
just what their father* paid for clothing
in 18C0, we will quote a few articles:
frock coat (fine), $15; fine dress pants,$10;
line vest, $3; sack coat (caasimere), $12;
cassimere pantfl, $5; cheap pants, $3 50;
common cassimere business suit, 5-15.
Boots and shoes arc made much finer
now than in 'GO, and their manufacture is
much more expensive. In those halcyon
days thet>ox-tocd boot hnd not yetuado
its'ap|>earance, nnd the ladies wore very
plain low-heeled shoes. There was no
machine work then, all the sewing boing
done by hand. Tliere was1 not eticfi a
wide range in prices, either, the practical
people preferring an article of durability
and simplicity to one of style and finish. I
The dealers generally keep on hand a few
pairs of thu old-tiuic low-hecled shoes, I
which are .sometimes inquired after by
elderly ladies who ohooso to keep their
feet comfortable, despite the dictates o/i
Darno Fashion. Co'nsiderfng the differenco
in the stylo of shoes worn then and
now, and the "improved facilities for the
manufacture of all classes of goods, our
quotations will hardly show the changes
in ths price during the past fifteen years. 1
Common "stogie" boots can even now Ikj
bought in this city as lotfr as $2 50, but
the average pjrico Is $-1 00.' Such boots,
mado by hand; wore worth $3 50in 18G0.
We quote this merely to show the impossibility
of giving any figures by which
the difference in the price of the same
class of goods cau be shown.
Of course tne prices of provisions and
produce are influenced more or less by
the supply. Potatoes were never plenticr
than at this time, while tlje fruit in this
section of the country was a total failure
this season. The wjieat. was^ damaged
this season by the heavy rains, whilo
there was an abundant corn crop. It is
no unusual thing to have a butter famine,
and occasionally there is a threat scarcity
of eggs and poultry. Therefore the prices
of these articles are not always influenced
by, the general hard time?C Groceries,
However, wiui me single- uxccpiiuu u?
sugar, arc Htill higher than before the
war,', though a trille lower than five
years ago. Tea now rates at 50ca
?1 00 per pound, against 50a7oc fifteen
yearn ago; and coffee at 23ft25c against 15
al8c. Soap is nearly down to old rates
again, selling at 8al0c per lb, against 8a
12Ac in '(JO. Beefsteak, in 18G0, was sold
at SalOc per lb, and rft the present time
sells at 12ia 15c. So it will be seen that
that there is yet sonic distance to go before
the minimum of ante-bellum days is
reached.
COMPARATIVE COST OF LIVING.
We will now show, as far as possible,
how much a man could buy with his
wages in 1800 as compared with 1870 and
1870. Taking the amount of money
earned in a week by each, we will undertake
to show how much flour, bacon, coffee,
potatoes and coal, which we take it
are among the real necessities of life,
can be purchased with the same:

From the above wo find that in 18G0 a
day laborer, earning SI f?0 per week, with
his week's wagon could purchase 69
pounds of Hour, G pounds of bacon, pounds
of coflee,2 bushels of potatoes and
37 bushels of nut coal; in 1870, with hi*
week'.s wage# he could buy 70 pounds of
tlour, 10 pounds of bacon, 2 pounds of
coffee,*4 bushels of potatoes and 15 bushels
of coal; and at the present time his money
will purchase CO pounds of flour. 5 pounds
of bacon, 1 pound of cofTee, G bushels of

and three and a half feet wide. It will
not be brought to the Centennial headquarters
in til is city, but will be forwardw
from Fairmont tho latter part of
March.
The Reason "SVnw?EdUorn Intclliijcnccr'
In your notice of Wagner's Minstrels,
you say "the Opera House was not
so full as it should havo been." 1 think
that one reason why it was not is that
our people are not so Hush that they can
pay seventy-five cents for minstrel or ordinary
entertainments. Jf tho price was
fixed at fifly coils for parquet and dress
circle seats when not rcservedj I think
tho manager would find the chairs much
better filled. Occasional.
Frame Building Bcrxed.?The alarm
of lire about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
was caused by the burning of a small
frame building on Water street, near
"Paper Mill" alley. The building was
owned by Mr. Amos Osborne, of tho Seventh
Ward, and occupied by a Cooper
named Clihe. The building, which wns
of no particular value, was totally destroyed.
Last week some of the urchins in
Wheeling wero running barefooted. If
inu puiar nave nuiun ovviuo
reached us now, struck Wheeling, we
guess they will draw on their shoes?if
ihev have any.?Martitphurg Independent,,
'jflie nolar wave is here, and the barefooted
l>oy has disappeared.
Pedestrianism. ? James Adams, of
Now York City, has mado a match with
Leo Hammond, of Bellaire, to walk sixtyone
yards while Hammond runs one hundred
yards. The match is for $100 a side,
and will take place at the Fair Grounds
on Saturday afternoon.
Only One.?The lockup contained but
one prisoner at 9 o'clock last nipht. Officer
Kex found him in an alley in Centre
Wheeling, near the St Alphonsus Church,
in a deplorably drunken condition. He
will be Hober enough to face His Honor
this morning.
Consumption may be prevented by
