V- ; ! . THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL ON RELATIVE PKICES. It always pains, us wheu.we 6ud ourselves under tlie necessity of rais ing our rates of subscription or ad vertising. We know that these rates look high, and yet, relatively, they are still comparatively lower than the ruling rates of . ny thing which we have to buy, either in car rying on business or in defraying our jjr own private eaiienses. I . We recollect that last rcek a gen-j iieiuan iroiu an aujoiuing Co mil)' coiuplaiiieu that five . dollars nve . uolUrs was very dtigfi for six months an hscriii tioii to the eekly Journal.

Now that thing won't do. We cannot afford to. work at that rate. We most have two pounds of bacou at least for a half a year's subscrip tion tojue daily. We must get at least otie pound of coffee, old liio, for siv months' weekly, or t uounds and a half for six months oi the daily. We have taken account of stock in the way of comparing prices, asd the result is that we ti ud we are get ting comparatively iiothiog,or what procure us nothing of thq. things we aud our workmen ? ueed ; hence in justice to them and ourselves we have adopted the new rates which we publish to-day. All other things have gone up to JJO prices aud over. We ask only eight prices. We ure not getting one .half the same . rela tive value of the Journal that we did before the war not one third.
