Party Mud SINGERS.

If the Granger is compelled to de-
eide for which party's candidate he
will vote from information obtained
through reading the 'partizan papers,
he will have great difficulty in deter
mining which ticket is most deserving
of his support. The argument for and
against is one of elimination and re-
crimination-of the kettles denuncia-
ton of the pots color. The Republi-
can journals aver that whatever is
wrong is made so by the Democrats,
and the Democratic papers fill their
columns with the exclamation "Thou
canst not say we did it; we were not
in authority" The Republicans re-
spond that the Democrats would have
shown no cleaner hands than they,
had the opportunity for plunder, mall
fesance and other ugly business pre-
sented itself. 1t seems to be case of
"you'r another" and if the facts are
ever reached it will not be accom-
pllshed through light shed by party
organs. The Granger is not, however,
so easily duped as party leaders would
have us think. In this State the par
ty record is book within the reach of
all, and the chronicles are so legibly
written that all may read and under
stand. The leaders may denounce
each other and the organs may charge
and deny but all will not suffice. The
honest voter has learned to read and
think for himself. Men-especially
the laboring men-have reached that
stage in the scale of political progress
sion when they will no longer accept
as fact the unsustained assertion of
political leader or partizan journal.
They have learned the Importance of
demanding the proof and if it is not
forthcoming from the party organ, they
will satisfy themselves by applying to
the independent journal, which they
know speaks of party and candidates
as it finds them, influenced by interest
and unbiased by prejudice. With
this source of information within his
reach the Granger will turn from the
partizan pleading and cast his vote
for candidates that are honest and ca
pable, recking little on which ticket
their names appear.

obtain the wheat to load it. Their
plans were soon laid. They held their
own tonnage and waited until the
Grange agents had contracted for all
the tonnage to be secured. They then
reduced the rate of the tonnage under
their control below the price at which
MoRaAN's sons had contracted to pay
and commenced loading with wheat
purchased at the price demanded by
the farmers. This bit of strategy ena-
bled them to deliver wheat in Liver
pool at less figure than MoRGAN's
Sons could afford under their tonnage
contract. 1t was clear case of over
reach, and the pains and expense to
which the ring went to accomplish
their purpose only proves how anxious
they were to destroy system which
completely broke up their old monop-
oily and prevented the continuance of
a business by which they were realiz-
ing millions at the expense of the
farmer If, as is claimed by some of
the monopoly organs, the Grange did
not interfere with the purchase and
profit of the ring dealers, it seems bit
of absurdity on their part to incur the
expense and trouble they have to break
up the Grange agency by bankrupting
the house of MoRGAN'S Sons. We are
told in tone and spirit of rejoicing
that the farmers have lost heavily
through the failure of their wheat
agents. What is the aggregate of their
loss we are not informed, and will con-
cede that it is a large amount, but
large as it is, we do not believe it will
foot up one quarter of the sum they
would have been swindled out of had
the ring been permitted to carry out
their hitherto successful programme
of purchasing the wheat at their own
price. A new line Of argument re-
Gently adopted by the ring journals is
the ringing of changes on the word
''merchant" with the evident inten-
tion of creating an impression in the
minds of the public that the merchant
is the "middleman" against whom
the Grange is protecting the farmer.
This would be shrewd dodge, were it
not so transparent that it will not de-
ceive single well informed man. The
Grange does not fight the merchant.
Its warfare is with the ring and it's
agents, which are the real middlemen.
We cannot discover the force of the
argument against the Grange which
some of our contemporaries affect to
see in the failure of the house of Nor

THOSE of our visitors who had Occa-
sion to pass along or across Main
street any time during yesterday, will
form very curious ideas concerning
the remonstrance of certain property
holders, in which it was set forth that
the street was in as good order as it
could be placed. After the rain of
Monday night, Main street was il a
deplorable condition for travelling pur-
poses. The mud was deep = deep
enough for any purpose-but its con-
sistency was not all that was desira-
BILE. 1t was too thick for boats and
too thin for wheeled vehicles. A stout
man with high-topped boots could
ford the thoroughfare if he was careful
to keep on the rifles, but for women
and children, or even weak men, to
attempt the passage was simply to
tempt Providence yet when the
Council propose to improve the street
the property holders solemnly aver
that it is in as good condition as it is
possible the place 1t.

The Farmer and the Rinq.

The failure of MoRGANs Sors, the
accredited shipping agents of the
Grangers, seems to be q matter for ex-
ultation on the part of that portion of
the press which has never been able to
see anything good in the Grange
movement, and there are not a few Of
those sapient gentlemen who are cry
Ing out ~ told you sol" We have no
disposition to argue the right or wrong
of the policy adopted by the firm that
has just found itself compelled to sus-
pend business. A glance at the case
inclines us to the opinion that the
house of MoRGAN's Sons fell into an
ambush laid for it by the willy old
wheat ring managers, who would will
lingly spend few million dollars to
break up the system of protection
guaranteed the farmer through the
Grange organization. The Grange
Agency secured a large amount of tom
mage at figures which would have been
considered reasonable under the tom
mage monopoly. This contract system
seems to have been the only weak and
assailable point in the programme,
and circumstances eonspired TO make
the attack on this point very effective.
The ring had also secured large
amount of tonnage, which at the rates
they intended to charge they could not
use, for the reason that they could not

Number ofTypes i'm a Newspaper.

The number of types used in news
paper the usual size is about 600, 900
4. q, the actual number of bits of metal
arranged and rearranged in preparing
s. newspaper for the press. We suppose
few people think of the printing trade
as one of the most exact and particular
of all handicrafts; but it is. In making
up type, variations that might be al
lowed in the first machinery would
render the the type useless. 1t is very
rardly that type furnished by two sep
arate fOundries can be used together
without great deal of trouble, though
they try to make it after the same
standard. We read once in q while of
a wonderful piece of cabinet work, or
mosaic work, containing ten, twenty,
or fifty thousand pieces, the maker of
which has spent months, or even
years, of labor in producing it, and peO-
pie 60 to see it as great curiosity; but
the most elaborate and carefully fitted
pierce of work of this kind ever made,
does not compare with that which the
printer does every day for minutenes5
of detail and accuracy of fitting. The
man who does the first is looked upon
as an artist-a marvel of skill; and if a
of his pieces are put in wrong
side up, or turned the wrong way, it is
not observed in the general effect; but
if the printer, in fitting ten times as
many pieces together in sinfile day,
puts one where another should be, or
turns one the wrong way, everybody
sees it, and is a.nazed at 'the stupid
of these printers"
