All men are not in the hands of the

Can get their goods at reasonable prices.
But let me say to you who are out Of

THE GRANGE ADVANCE

Is weekly newspaper devoted ex-
clusively to the interests Of labor and
agriculture, and the following is it's
platform:
l. 1t proposes to secure for labor a
legitimate reward, not by destroying
any other industry, profession or call
ing, but by increasing the power and
influence of the laborer so that he may
exercise some influence in fixing the
price of what he buys and sells.
2. 1t. proposes to throw its whole
influence in favor of CHEAP TRANSPORT
TAr1oN, until the very lowest rates and
tariffs compatible with a fair remuner-
alton to the carrier are realized, believ-
ing this to be one Of the greatest, if not
the greatest question before the Ameri-
can people to-day.
3. It proposes that if railroads are
puolic corporations they must and shall
be made to subserve the public interests
that they shall not be permitted to
take private property for road beds, de-
pots, &c., and collect municipal and
county bonds on the ground that they
are public institutions, and then turn
round and rob the people by extortion-
ate rates and tariffs upon the ground
that they are priuote companies, and
under no obligation to the public
4. 1t proposes to be strictly non:par-
tisan, but will not hesitate to expose and
denounce corruption in whatever party
it is found. and will never fail to drag
the guilty individual to the bar of pub
lie judgment, no matter how high his
position, or by how many millions he is
backed. 1t will deal fairly with all
candidates for Office, and will endeavor
to hold each of them before the public
in his true and real character, without
fear, favor or affection. ..
5. It proposes to do all it can for
the mental, moral and intellectual ele-
vation Of the masses, being fully con.
The Grange advance., 1873-12-17

and hasty action. Again we say the
first object to be secured is organiza-
ton. A company of we'll disciplined
soldiers will hold at bay a whole regi-
ment OF raw militia. Not one-fourth of
the farmers arc yet enlisted in the Pat
ron's army.
There are nearly four hundred
Oranges in our State, but we are not
yet half organized. When we have a
majority Of the inteli gent working
farmers of the State enlisted in our
cause, and united under the leadership
Of honest, capable men, we will not only
merit the respect Of the world but we
shall deserve success. We should re-
member that ''deep waters run slow, :"
and seek to add permanency and stability
to our Order We trust the action
taken at the State Grange may be such
as will romote harmony, and tend to
infuse greater earnestness and devotion
to the Order in every subordinate
Grange OF the State. S. D. II.

Opinions of the Press.

SINCE the recent elections the Grange
men are stimulated to greater efforts, their
numbers are increasing, and they are man
lfesty destined to control the political fu-
ture OF this country. Their newspaper or
gan, The Grange Aduance, published at Red
wing, is largely circulated here, and is
quite popular sheet.-Pierce Co. Herald.
THE Grange movement seems to be gain
ing strength. They are now publishing a
newspaper in Red Wing-The Grange Id
uance--to advocate the cause. Any move
ment that tends to the pecuniary improve
ment of the farmers and to their general
intelligence should be encouraged.
County Herald.
HE GRAN GE ADVANCE is the title Of
form, recently established at Red Wing.
1t is edited with ability, and as it's name
suggests, is mainly devoted to the discus
sion and promotion Of those interests en-
braced in the Grange movement. From
the number before us, we judge the AD-
VANCE is neutral in politics, laborine.

and other industrial interests in the State

NEW GRANGE PAPER.-The new Grange

Unappreciated Blessings.

How many are the unappreciated
blessings We enjoy, missed only when
some sudden change in life causes their
withdrawal from our grasp. Even the
glorious sunlight that brightens our
every day life, is missed only during a
long protracted season Of clouds, gloom
Or storms The familiar step Of those
we love, our home landscape and sur
roundings. seldom are appreciated except
when among strange scenes i'll distant
lands. The dear. kind, little words and
loving acts Of our own household band,
what Importance they assume when we
wander sadly amid strange faces and
unsympathizing hearts. How like sweet
est far-of music their love tones steal to
the heart and memory Of the absent,
homesick way-farer. How tenderly the
refrain of the home song echoes to the
weary, longing soul. I. R. c.
