The Grange advance., 1873-10-22

The instrumental part by Miss Graham was most
ably rendered, as all who know her ability would
be led to anticipate, while Prof. Raymond won
golden opinions from all for the tact and ability
displayed in organizing and 80 nearly perfecting,
in so short time, so many difficult choruses out
of material thrown together for the first time One
unusual feature of the chorus was sixteen tenor
voices on the first day of the session. The soprano
was also strong throughout, and the base steadily
grew to the end of the session, while the alto,
perhaps less srohg than the other parts, quite
creditable. All we're enthusiastic in their praises
of the hospitality of the citizens of Zumbrota and
the crowded house they gave at the closing con-
cert crowned the whole financial success. Here
after the County Association will be looked for
ward to as an era of musical progress. Near the
close Of the session constitution was adopted.
The Grange advance., 1873-10-22

ing Door or worthless article, and In many other
ways do they have the advantage of the buyer:
And add to all l.these the fact that all this money
is taken out Of the State drained from our soil and
sent to build up eastern monopolsts and is it any
wonder that farmers feel hard times that the coun-
try is becoming poorer. If our soil were mex
haustible the process might be continued forever,
but just as sure soil is exhaustible surely
with the present system will this country be i'm
poverished r.,
And yet with all these facts staring the farmers
in the face, it is charged against them by men
struggling to build up home manufactures, that
the farmers will buy of foreign in preference to
home manufacturers. The great Teacher when
upon the earth had occasion to reprove the Jews
for their folly in rejecting and killing the prophets
and enunciated the truth humliating to them and
to all other people that "A prophet is not without
honor except in his own country
1t seems that if this charge against the farmers
be true, they have run into the same folly Of the
ancient Jews dsregarding home enterprise,
and layishing their money where it can
never to return them. Now there can be
no greater folly than this, and we hope
our farmers are not guilty of the folly and if they
are we most earnestly hope that Patrons will labor
u1Ost earnestly ~ COEreCt tue wrong ana make all
such charges false.
Farmers NAV talk of forcing transportation COM
panies and manufacturers to terms but thev will
never come to terms so long as the farmer is in
their power, but let the farmer commence to sup
ply himself and then and only then will their
masters relent. This can only be done by building
manufactures at every favorable point in the west
There is scarcely an agricultural county in the
State but that buys eonugh of new machinery and
pays for repairs enough to support large agricu-
tural machine shop, and there are great many
points in the State much better adapted for the
carrying on of such shops than many of the places
further east where such shoo are located.
Such shops can only be built by men uniting
their capital to build them, and if there is any
work peculiarly appropriate to the oranges of the
P. Of H. it is just this. The organization Of the
Patrons gives all the advantage in the world for
the carrying on of such an enterprise. By the es
tabl1shing of such mandatory, the Patrons
could have their machinery at first cost. with no
profit to middle mer. By the establishing of such
the producers of the different kinds of products
are brought nearer together, fair exchange is
made possible. Better markets are crea'ed, the
mechanic gets better paid for his work and the
one half Of his expenses for farm implements.
With so much to be gained will not some one COM
mence moving in this matter?
