Address Of the wisconsin Graneers

The Executive Committee of the State
Grange of Wisconsin has issued an ad
dress to the Patrons of that State in
which they urge them to beware Of the
attempts Of the railroads to corrupt the
ballot box at the coming election. and
next winter undo all that was done last
winter. The committee remind the
Patrons that the State and National
Oranges have both declared for cheap
transportation and that it is the
fixed purpose Of the Order to "open
out the channels Of nature great ar
teries that the life blood of commerce
may flow freely The address further
says. we have declared that we arc not
the enemies OF railroads, but we are op-
posed to such spirit and management Of
any corporations or enterprises as tends
to oppress the people and rob them Of
! their just profits" They also declare
I'VE desire only self-protection, and the
protection of every true interest of our
land by legitimate transactions. 'legit-
innate trade. and Legitimate profits.
We take from the address the follow
ing extract;
If it be possible BY corrupt means
to repeal law, how much longer will
we wait to see laws enacted through the
same means in the interests of the or
ganized power which corrupts. and in
reality confer ''vested rights. which
shall eventually absorb all other rights

bloody revolution.
The Patrons of Husbandry have it
II their power to check the aggressive
power of organized capital. and the day
IS at hand in Wisconsin which calls for
the exercise Of it.

A GRANGE AT ITS TRUE WORK.

The New Hartford, (Winona county,,
Grange has been discussing Window S
proposition to build a grand trunk
railroad from New York to st. Louis
and Council Bluffs. 4 committee, con-
sisting Of Thomas Gordon, C. S. Grey,
and Edward Mott. make a very able
report discussing the proposition. In
it they say:
They also propose to carry grain from
Chicago to New York for fifteen cents per
bllshel, st. Louis eighteen, and Council
Blu1fs twenty-four cents, on condition that
they receive freight to justify them, but if
they cannot get the vast amount specified III
their memorial, then they must raise the
tGrtf on all produce; but if this road is built
we III Minnesota derive from its operation !
The cost OF shipping to the nearest
point OF intersection would cost Us in trans
Ter as much at present. The whole
scheme is another Central Pacific Credit
Mobilier swindie, only on larger scale, and
as such we reject and condemn the whole
scheme.
Go on, gentlemen. Talk up point
dlICt polHt VI lllc llOuS ICluSOlcS pro-
posed for you, and discuss them all.
Do your own thinking. Don't accept
the conclusions Of others; they may be
your friends, and they may be. on the
other hand. simply contriving plans to
rob you.
But above all. think for yourseires.
Politicians are. like fire and water, cX-
cellent servants, but abominable mas
ters. If YOU let your servants do the
thinking. they will soon be the masters
and you the servants.
The ritual is well enough; the ties of
brotherhood are charming the social
development is to be desired, but, above
all, inform yourselves. read, reason,
debate. All reform must begin in your
own brains.

MORE SOPHISTRY.

The organ Of the Monopolists, the
Farmers Union, is again pouring poi
son into the ears of the farmers of Min
nesota. Fortunately the ''leprous dis
tilment," drawn from the alembic of
President Drake, is so diluted by Aber-
nethy's natural flow of dish-water, that
it will simply disease and not destroy
the victim.
In the last number of his paper he
says:
1.-THE West needs money 1t should in
vite foreign capital to come IN, to aid in the
development of the vast tracts OF territory
yet unsettled, and we should BE- careful not
to have our acts mISconstrueG on the part of
those who hold the purse strings.
The West needs prosperity more than
it needs money; for money does not
always mean prosperity. In 1857 one
could borrow all the money he wanted
at three per cent. month and 1853
and 1859 saw the State swept as by the
bosom Of destruction.
In Wall street. New York. money is
now piled up in immense heaps, waiting
for borrowers at four per cent. per an

Of laboring men are without work and
almost without food and the chief Of

large force of armed police, in Wall
street at the request Of the bankers
and money brokers. to guard their
money heaps from the mob. Here
money and starvation are brought face
to face. and revolvers and clubs alone
can keep peace between them. Why
ism Abernethy there. to convince these
starving mechanics that money being
plenty their stomachs are therefore
Unnecessarily; and that the craving
they feel is simply an illusion.

him to the earth.
Neither do we want any more "vast
tracts of territory settled until that
which is settled is rendered prosperous.
The best guarantee for the growth of
the frontier is the prosperity of the
country behind it. We want no pau
pers in Dakota Territory competing
with paupers in Minnesota, all miser-
able together.
And, says Abernethy, we must be
careful not to have our acts miscon-
strued on the part of those who hold

Prof. Stock bridge addressed them ::
He said we wage no war on the mer-
chant or middle-man. The proper du
ties Of the merchant are essential to
our prosperity. But the exchange of
produce has led to abuses

would take lessons from the most sue

BATTLE HYMN OF TOLL.
BY MRS. s. N. SMITH.

Now hopes that bid the ling gsring night to
Frightening morn give way,
Break through the clouds, dispel each
doubt, nerve every heart to-day;
Let nota soldier of the right grow weary OF

While toll is marching on.
She has borne g,ievous bondage through
the long midnight OF years
She has fed on degradation, she has drunk
Ell bitter tears;
Lo. she bursts her ciinging letters, sae has
done with Slavish ,ears,
And toll Is marching on.
She has helped TO fashion, b,indly, the
bonds that held her fast,
She has risen not in anger, 70 take vence-
ance for the past,
She has sworn that all her children stall
be free men at last
For toll is marching on.
She hath giants strength TO- day-take
counsel Of your fears,
And heed your oath, We rulers, who have
spurned her prayers and tears
Yield while she sues, lest justice tire, and
vengeance yet be hers,
For toll is marching on
Her waiting sons have heard the call that
thrills them through and through,
They gather al her summons from he old
world and the new,
From field and forge, from pen and plow,
they come, the strong and true,
For toll is marching on.
/ Resistless as the march Of fate their forces
sweep along,
Already they have set their feet upon the
ramparts strong,
That ages have upreared to guard the sure
retreats o. wrong,
And toll is marching on.
And soon opp-esSion's last strongholds,
that still above them frown,
Pierced through by truth besieging guns,
before them shall 60 down,
And justice. with her temples fair, their
ruined sites shall crown,
While toll goes marching Oh.

themselves and the coming generations

Abernethy continues:

Farmers, this man Abernethy is only
one of the legion that is now working
to deceive and enslave you. Every art
and artifice known to the ingenuity of
the most ingenious of men will beeused
to hold you in thraldom. You are the
great victim, the spoil, the prey, the
mighty game; and hundreds Of thou

New FREIGHT RATEs.--The absentee rail
road grandees who disobey laws and bid the
people defiance, assembled at Saratoga few
days ago and turned the screw still tighter
on the surplus crops of the farmers OF Wis
consin, Minnesota, Northern Iowa and Hi
nois. The additional charge we understand
is about cent bushel on wheat. We have
heard the increase estimated as high as a
million, or million and a half dollars, that
it will cost to market the farmers crop this
year. and this in defiance of the laws of one
of the States. Is it not time the States
tested their titles with the roads, and had
the question settled whether they have any
rights left or not ?-Chicsgo Industrial Age.
Minnesota's share Of this little steal
will be about $25O,O0O. A quarter of
million taken out Of our people by
one turn Of the screw. And, the lead
ing Republican paper of the State, says
we have no right to prevent them; and
the Republican Legislature passes law
which is tizzle and fraud, and then
they ask the suffering people to keep
them and their damnable Rings still in
power. VIII they do it !

politicians want both, and when they

Your Committee would also add a
word in favor Of the practice already
inaugurated by the Order, of requiring
public answers to questions publicly
put to candidates as to their opinions
upon the subjects they are likely to be
required to act upon. This is espe-

BAzAINE's ESCAPE.
Planned and Carried Out BY His
Wife.

PARIS, Aug. l2.-It has been ascer-
tanned that the plan for Marshal Ba-
zaine's escape from the island of Sainte
Marguerite was arranged six weeks ago.
1t was entirely the work of Madame
Bazane. The Marshal refused at first
to fly, but finally, owing to his failure
to obtain some modification Of his SEN
tence, Welded. He sailed from the ISL
and in the steam yacht Baron Ricaooli,
belonging to an Italian Company. The
prisoner refused to employ a French
vessel. He was accompanied in his
fight by his wife and brother. His
place Of refuge is not known. Some
persons say he is in Spain. The do
mestics at the fort where the Marshal
was imprisoned have been arrested.
