tered that it will be right and do them JUS
tice.
The Age has extended correspondence in
the five States of Illinois, Michigan, Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and it has yet to
hear the first man say he is not heartily
willing that the railroads shall be permit
ted to make not only fair but strong
profit on the legitimate and fair cost Of
| their roads. On the contrary, the people
want them to realize a round and liberal
but they are resolved that the roads shall
not further rob and ruin them by extorting
from them ten per cent. profit on fifty per
cent Of watered stock, and forty per
cent. profit on the real cost of the roads to
the present owners. That game has been
carried far enough. The monopoly oil
garchy have been too long permitted to
meet in their back Offices, in New York,
and elect to levy, after thirty minutes
consultation, from half million to two
million Of uni ust tribute on the industrial
interests Of the West. That game, the
| stalwart people of the West have resolved
shall be blocked, and they care not what
amount of buster and lamentation it may
| create here o: elsewhere. 1t these States,
the territory Of which was ceded by Vir-
ginia to the national government on the
condition, when formed, they were to be
FOREVER FREE, are to be perverted into de-
Tendencies TO less than two scores of un-
principled money sharks and corruptionists
in Wall street, it is high time the matter
was understood, and an examination made
| to ascertain whether the letters have been
so forged that they cannot be loosened, and
some of the lost rights regained.
| At the next session Of the Wisconsin leg
islature that body should so amend the Char
ters Of all railroads in the State that ma
:jority of each board of directors should be
| residents of the State, and the books and
papers kept withinthe States jurisdiction,
SO that at all times they would be subject
to the examination Of the Railroad Com
missioners and committees of the Legisla-
ture.
The Wall street gentry and Mr.. Mitchell
have yet to learn that, in order to be sue
cessful In public enterprises under control
of State legislatures, there must be mutu-
ality Of interests between the corporations
and citizens that will prove alike advan-
tageous to each They need yet to be
taugh bit that the power that gave can take
away, and that when the roads forget the
power that gave them an existence they
have outlived their usefulness
The Grange advance., 1874-07-22
Politics In the Grange.

In our Judgment the Grange has no right
to talk politics as politics, no right to hold
conventions or make nominations.
But it has, we think, a perfect right to
discuss questions Of political economy, such
as the mode and degree Of government
revenue, the advantages or disadvantages
OF direct taxation as compared with taxa
tion by duty on imports. 1t has right
to discuss all questions as to the transport
tation Of the productions of the country :;
the comparative advantages of water and
rail transportation; what lines of water
communication are most important to Min
nesota how can they be obtained, sc. It
has also right to discuss the patent laws
and how they can best be improved ? How
the postal laws affect the Intelligence of
the country? Whether the postal denart-
ment should be sustained by the general
government as the war department is, and
the mails carried free? And a hundred
similar questions.
These discussions should be conducted in
an impersonal, bipartisan and fraternal
manner.
,lf these discussions lead Oranges to con-
clusions adverse to any political party or
parties, they can put those conclusions into
force outside of the Grange, and can as pri-
vate citizens enter into any political move
ments they see fit They certainly cannot
be asked to submit to injustice and injury
to save the feelings or promote the interest
Of any political organization.
We would suggest that the Oranges, es-
pecially in the winter, get up debates on
the great questions we have referred to; {;
meeting not as Oranges but with their
doors thrown open to all the public: and
having selected debators on the opposite
sides Of the question at issue, proceed to
debate it. This course steadily pursued
would make the farmers of Minnesota the
most intelligent body Of men on earth

Retren chment i'm Our State Govern
ment

A writer in the Nashville Bulletin
has been making some investigation
into the profits OF certain local offices,
and finds that, after deducting the neces-
sary expenses for clerk hire, ETC., they
are in round numbers and reasonably
estimated as follows: Clerk and Mas
ter, SIS, 600: County Court Clerk, S9, 900 1;
Circuit Court Clerk, ST. 600; Criminal
Court Clerk, $4,000; State and County
Tax Collector, $4,000; Railroad tax
Collector, $4,000; Jailor, $1,000. The
same propOrtiOnate sums are doubtless
paid in every county Of the State.
There are ninety-three County Trus-
tees in the State, receiving not less
than 81 900 each for his services that
could and would be rendered for moth
ing by any local bank. There are
twenty-five courts in the State which
could be abolished at a saving of fifty
thousand dollars per annum. A gen
eral reformation of the judiciary and
judicial expenses, it is estimated, could
be made to save the State over 100000
dollars annually. Two officials of the
State governmentrec receive in perquisites
this term, above their salaries, as much
as seventeen thousand dollars each.
1t is further estimated that there are
six thousand useless and supert1uOus
salaried officers in the State that could
be dispensed with without detriment
to the public service. 1t is further es-
timated that the expense of running
the county government in Davidson,
is over seventy thousand dollars more
per annum than it cost before the war,
when the section was rich and pros
porous. Now, if these are facts, what
more eloquently suggests the impor-
lance Of an economically inclined re-
form Legislature? This is something
that appeals to the business common
sense of the public. What are they
going to do about il ?-N0sRUilIG Ban.

Re8OLUed, That it is our earnest de-
sire that our next Legislature adopt
all suitable measures that can be re-
sorted to to lessen the burthens of tax
| alton that now rest upon us, and &c
this end we urge the necessity of strict
measures of retrenchment and reform
| in every department of the Govern
ment, and TO secure these ends, we
| urge the necessity of selecting none
| but honest and capable men to seats in
our State Legislature, and, indeed, We
would impress upon our fellow citi-
Zens everywhere, the absolute neceS-
sity of selecting to official positions in
every department, men Of ability and
undoubted honesty.
ResoLved, That we regard the pas
sage of the 90 funding actn by the last
General Assembly, as a grievous sin
against the masses of the people, and
we recommend its speedy repeal OF
modification, so far as the same can bt
done consistent with the honor anC
credit of the State.

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

The Chattanooga Commercial, of
yesterday, contained letter from this
place, signed " a Vot 4r,n in which the
writer makes mean, Vindictive at
tack upon this paper and its editors,
reiterating the silly falsehoods retailed
during the recent canvass about a
- ringn We have information that
the writer is one Frank Hyberger, for
the present, residing here. Although
he criticises a letter written from this
place to a Loudon paper last week,
and to which we alluded yesterday, we
have no doubt that he is the author of
that also. He found that in his letter
to LoudOn he had made the impression
that Judge HOuk and his friends were
responsible for the result Of the elec-
ton in this county, and he hastens to
explain in another paper, attacking his
first letter as having been written by
an indiscreet and mistaken correspond
ent.
Now who is this pure (?), virtuous (?)
and heightened (?) statesman that
feels himself called upon to save the
people of Knox county from the DOM
ination Of an imaginary ring, and
what has stirred up his fearful wrath
The people Of Kla0rUiUe ecto EnoaO him
at all, kyaOO that he belongs to q ring,
and achat Kind Of q ring it is? The
reason why he cries out" ring" to
Republicans, is because they have
not considered him of suffi-
cient Importance TO consult him
about anything. Who is he that he
feels such deep interest in the people
of Knox county? But for the fact that
he accidentally got to be Governor
Seniors private secretary he would
never have been heard of, and but for
the additional fact that he was some,
! time ago appointed to an office under
| the Southern Claims Commission, he
would not, perhaps, be here to-
| day. The character of this man
| is such that his accusations do not de-
mand any notice at our hands, and we
now allude to his letter only to show
from what source this cry about rings
proceeds.
AS an indication of his political
standing, we have only to state thai
in the late canvass he rode over the
county with Charles H. Flournoy, anC
furnished the false report and misrep'
resentation of Mr.. Maynard's Thor
Grove speech as published in the
Press and Herald. Isn't he beauti
full pink of consistency to be talking
about 1" incompetent Republican
leaders ?" He has been writing letter!
all over the State with a view of stir
ring up discord in the Republican
ranks in this Congressional district
knowing that this is the only way t
bring himself into notice.
