To THE POINT.

VIM. NJ. Plymat, of Mapleton, Blue
Earth county, Minn., one Of the lead
ing Changers of Minnesota, writes a
letter to the Mankota Union, in which
he says:
Farmers, mechanics, merchants, law
yers. doctors, men of thought, of whatever
trade or avocation, let us become men OF ac-
ton, and organize a new party, while we
free ourselves from the entangling alliances
Of the existing corrupt parties, and shake of
the robbers who rule in and reign over
u.s." Let us draw straight line OF justice,
and thew straight to the line, let the chips
fall where they may" Our country is In
jeopardy, and if the people do not rise up IL
their sovereign power and rescue her from
the hands ofthese perjured robbers, anarchy
will soon be our reward"

Some few small lots of wheat have
been offered but millers are not vet
ready to take hold Of the new crop, ex-
cept that they make some inquiry for

Very little barley is coming in as yet.
Buyers are offering 90c.
In coarse grains, feed, meal, -four,
ETC., there are no changes since last

From the Constitution of the National
Grange.]
The ULTIMATE OBJECT OF THIS oRGAN1zA-
TION is FOR MUTUAL INSTRUCTION AND PRO-
LECTION.
Human happiness is the acme of earthly
ambition. Individual happiness depends
upon GENERAL PROSPERITY


From the address of the Master of the
National Grange, Master Adams Of Iowa, de-
ivered 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 gratihed that our members
are substantially a 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 achich can only be
reached through legislation.-lt seems I'M
PERATIvE that such questions should BE dis
cussed in 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 PUBLIC PLACES, l0ere such as come
home to the consciences 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. F"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied as follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM
eve emphatically and sincerely assert the
OF TepeaJeQ truln taugnt IN our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dinate, is not political or a 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 discussiheir merits in
its meetings.

TRUE POLITICS, ALL TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP, 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.

up that ipalienable right and duty which be-
longs to every American citizen, to take &

State Republican Convention on the

that this made Red Wing the greatest

New YORK, Aug. 5.-The latest mail
advices from Europe in regard to crop
prospects there are not so good as the
last preceding reports. Though the
French wheat crop is good average
one, still the hopes that it might be
classed among the rich crops will not
be realized. Rye and barley will yield
a good quality but rather limited in
quantity.
From Vienna the official bulletin says
the continued July heat has done harm
only in comparatively small part Of
the empire, but was pretty damaging to
barley. oats and rye. Wheat looks
we'll and corn is also looking well.

1T NEVER PAYS.

It never pays to fret and growl,
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the Drawer blow.
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the pay
And clear the way
That better men have room.
It never pays to foster pride
And squander pride in show;
For friends thus won are sure to run,
In time of want or woe.
The noblest worth
OF all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain,
A conscience clear,
A household dear.
And hands without q stain.
1t never pays to hate foe,
Or cater to friend,
To fawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe;
The feuds of debts
And pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is scheaply bought with pain.
A humble lot
A cozy cot
Have tempted even kings,
For station high
Which wealth can buy
Not oft contentment brings.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR CON.
GRESS.

The Grange Aduaace suggests the
name of Judge Wilder, of Red Wing, as
proper candidate for Congress, in the
Second District and submits his name
to the Anti-monopoly convention Of that
District.
We are glad to endorse all that the
Adrance says of Judge Wilder's hon
esty, ability and respectability; but
would it not be better for the organs
of the new movement to hold back, and
let the people select their candidate for
Congress, and then support him. The
wisdom of many men is greater than the
wisdom of one man ; and it has been the
curse of the old parties, this ''setting up
of pins,' by leaders, and this debating Of
candidates by newspapers. While the
ANT1-MoNoPI1sr will be glad to open its
columns to courteous discussion Of the
merits of candidates, it will have no
candidate Of its own.
And,sby the way,is not the Adrdnce,
to use one of Sir Boyle Roche's express
sions, turning it's back upon ITSELF .
Not long ago it preached in favor Of
spontaneous action by the people; and
that candidates should shave the smell
of the barn yard on their boots.' We
shall have to appoint committee to ex'
anime Judge Wilder's boots.

ssTo-day the " Granger iron-clad railroad

tive to the st. Paul 4 Pacific road are appro-

length of both main and branch lines pas
senger tariffs have necessarily been ad-
vanced The fare from St. Paul to Breck-

Delano it has advanced to 81 90, and to
Litchfield the rates are increased 20 cents.
But the most important local change is the
increase of rates between St. Paul and Min

the return, formerly cost fifty cents, it now
costs one dollar and ten cents"

the Grangers are thus alluded to:
1.-The conspiracy of one party Of free
men against another, who object to
joining carbonarism of whatever sort
and scorn the humbug Of secrets and
childish signs, has created much ILL

from well-deserved obscurity, and is
quickly turned to advantage by not
overscrnpulous brothers to influence
the couiys of rural justice and politics,
without any real effect on reforming
our bad habits.

Of ''silence is WISDOM" and conclude
