Editors Herald, sirs there has been some dis
Cussion in your valuable paper concerning the
grangers, "or patrons of usbandry," and as 1

corning them. through your valuable paper. what
are they for what can they do takeing the Course
they are takeing, they say they are trying to put
down Monop-olie when il they succeed it will
be the greatest monopople that ever was ever
known. for instance in our last legislature the
railroad question was brought up. owr granger
frind signed petitions to have the tariff regulated
to suit themselves. they think that the rail-
road charges such outrageous prices thinking
nothing of what it costs to build railroad and
support it after 1t is built, and when they saw
the Course our legislature took in the Matter it
made them mad. and in there Convention con-
demned our legislature for not takeing there
part. this is a free Country or Claimed to be. is
1t freedom to tax our railroad Companies, and
then regulate there tariff. and again in each and
every that they are strong enoug, they hav what
is called Changers store and in there Contract the
merchant is to sell them at such a per cent but
if they Can get goods any Cheaper in any other
store they will 60 there, and let the grang store
60 to thunder. any farmer will buy one hundred
dollars wort year. when they enter the grange
1t costs $500 then it about that for expences
through the year, then. they pay 10 which will
everage bout 16 per cent, and then they have the
bothere OF Conventions, and such things any
Merchant will sell for ~ per cent with graf
deal better fealings prevailing through the coun-

THE MARKETS.

Chicago, April Is. ;
The Times Ct this morning says: "There
was nothing particularly new in monetary
circles on yesterday. As the pleasant
character of the weather impaired consid-
cradle life to trade in all departments of
commerce, the business enjoyed by the
different banks was really active, and
much better than usually witnessed on the
opening day Of the week. In fact, all the
prominent grain and mercantile banks
presented q remarkable busy appearance,
though in the general condition of the
money market there was no change worthy
of special comment. Money, though in
some quarters little close, was, on the
whole, sufficiently plenty to prevent any
uneasiness about the situation in the loan
market. As during the past week, outside
and miscellaneous borrowers, as we'll as
parties holding no particular or direct
claim upon the banks for assistance, were
generally refused funds, but for holders of

Gold was q shade easier than on Satur-
day last, though there was no important
change in the condition OF the market.
The premium closed at 1177s@11sss.
The markets on Change were quite firm
on yesterday. In all departments of the
general produce trade, the feeling was
more "bullish" in its character than was
generally expected, and on wheat we note
fresh advance of Nc; on corn1sc; on
oats Nc; on rye 1c; on barley 1@2c on

AN INQUIRY AND AN ANSWER.

Eds REHABILITATION me to make some
inquiry in regard to the school fund. A
few years ago the farmers of Mahaska
county could go to the school fund and
borrow out of that fund any money
that they needed by giving real estate Sc
curity. Now there Is not any money in
the school fund that they can get. Now
the inquiry Is, where is the money gone to?
Our farmers are now borrowing money
from companies outside the county, and
the interest the farmers are paying leaves
the county and never returns. Now it ap.
pears to me that if the school fund was loan.
ed in the county it would be a benefit to
the citizens of the county and to the fund
itself.
Yours respectfully, =.

that the school fund of this county, amount.
