The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-09-24

From the address of the Master Of the
National Grange, Master Adams of Iowa, de-
livered at the last National Grange meeting
at st. Louis, January, 1874:
"Article xii also demands most serious
consideration to definitely decide what in
terpretation shall be put upon the word
political" am gratitied that our members
are substantially q unit in the opinion that
the Order should not in any sense become
political party. But at the same time, there
are questions most Fundamentally affecting
our material interests Which can only be
reached throrgh IegisIation.-It seems I'M
PERATrvE that such questions should BR dis
cussed tn tie Grange. Shall it be said that
such questions were political in the meaning
Of the Constitution! The questions Of
TRANSPORTATION, TAXATION, FINANCE, COR
RUPTIoN IN PrBLIc PLACES, tcere such as come
home to the eonscisnccs and pockets Of our
members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege Of can
vassing them on the ground of politics"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied As follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
"We emphatically and sincerely assert the
OFT repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dinate, is not political or party organiza-
ton, No Grange, is true to its obligations,
can discuss political or religious questions,
nor call political conventions, nor nominate
candidates, nor even discuss their merits in
its meetings.
fettne PRINCIPLES VIZ TEACH CNDERLIE ALL
TRUE POLITICS, ALL TRCE srArKsMASsHIp, and
If properly carried out will tend to purify the
whole political atmosphere of our country
For we seek the greatest good to the greatest
number.
We must always bear in mind that no one,
by becoming Patron Of Husbandry, gives
up that inalienable right and duty which be-
longs to every American citizen, to take
proper interest in the politics ct his courtry."
Eve propose meeting together, TALKING.
TOGETHER, and generally ACTING TOGETH-
Err, for our mutual protection and advance
ment"
"We are opposed to any such spirit and
management Of any corporation or enter
prise as tend to oppress the people and rob
them of their just profits"
"We are opposed to excessive salaries and
high rates of interest"

THE WHEAT QUESTION.

''To sell or net to sell, that is the:
question:
The SPECTATORS are becoming bewil-
dercd. One of the Milwaukee circulars
says:
Our market has been extremely dull. The
shipping demand has necessarily been very
limited and spectators have kept alOot.
The check to the move in the interior is
something new and they do not know what
to make Of it, or how TO calculate the effect
and force of it. We do not hesitate 10 re-
affirm our conviction expressed two weeks
figures and become convinced that they are
legitimate, they will sell at least sufficient
to pay their debts.

We would advise our friends to build
granaries on their own land and store
their own wheat and insure it. This
plan has several advantages first,
they save storage; secondly, they avoid
the risk Of the warehous eman failing
thirdly, they will not be compelled to
sell on the first of June, but can hold
over until after the next harvest if nec-
essary; and thus take advantage Of
possible failure of the crop next year.
One thing is certain, if the farmers
persist in not selling this year they will
smash the speculators who have been
trying to make money by bearing"
the price of wheat. They are now ad
vising the farmers. through nearly ali
the newspapers, to sell at Once.
Let us see how the highest price Of
No. l wheat in Septemb Der has compared
with the highest price in May during
twelve years, in the Milwaukee market:

@arket gepurta.

st. Paul Produce Market, Sept. 22.
The general state of the market re-
mains without material change, the
supply Of leading articles continuing
small, demand large, and prices firm
with an upward tendency.
In wheat there is really no movement,
farmers continuing to hold back in
hopes of better prices, which seems to
be as far distant to-day as when the de-
cline first took place. No change in
quotations to note. Other coarse grain
firm at previous quotations, with a sup
ply far below the demand.
For -four the same general remarks
will answer. Corn meal, ground feed,
bran and shorts no change to note.
Rye -four scarce with an activedemand,
at S255 to S2.75 per hundred.
The trade in provisions sustains pre-
vious comments and quotations, the in
dications of an upward tendency for
governing articles being maintained.
The only change in notations is in
hams, which we quote at Is to Is IL
cents, and clear sides II cents, an ad-
vance in both cases Of half a cent.
Eggs continue very scarce, much be-
low the demand. and End ready mar
ket at Is cents for fresh.
The market continues well supplied
with fresh fruits. Quotations obtained
from B. Presley & Co. are: Apples
$500 to $3.50 per bbl.; California
pears, ss4 to $5 per box; Illinois do$1
to sl.50; peaches 81 to $l.50; grapes,
Concord 8 to SC per h., Delaware 10 to
IL lie, and Catawba 10 to IL l-2c
California ounces, SIS per box; Califor-
MIA grapes, 90 to 25c per lb.
OF game the market is in only mode
rate supply, with good demand and
prices we'll maintained. We quote
prairie chickens, scarce, at 50 to $2.25
per dozen tame chickens, IS to 40c
piece by coop; partridgcs, $3.50 to
So per dozen ducks, $3.50 to $3.50,
quails, scarce, good demand, at $3.50
to So.
While in this subject, we againicaM
attention to the fact that city ordi-
nance pr ohibits the marketing of game,
unless drawn, and makes the receiver
of the goods equally liable for violation
with she shipper. Commission dealers
complain that many shippers fail to
comply with this requirement.
The vegetable market continues in
good supply, prices generally ruling
low.
