st. Paul Produce Market, Aug. 10.
Minnesota operators in grain have
been for some weeks discouraged at the
prospect of prevailing low prices for the
new crop Of wheat, and their forcbod-
ing seems to be confirmed by to-day's
dispatches from Milwaukee, Chicago
and New York. Whether or not the
belief is correct that the worlds sup
| ply of breadstuffs is SO large that the
American surplus wheat cannot be
marketed within the coming year ex-
cept in competition with superabund-
ance Of European wheat, the effect Of
that belief is plainly apparent in the
three great markets of this country;
and certainly-until next Spring, when
the water courses are again open and
when the worlds supply will be more
closely measured,-it is not probable
that higher prices can be
established. 1t is more probable that
prices will go yet lower. In this latter
event it is safe to calculate that the ma
jority Of Minnesota and Wisconsin far
mers will hold the bulk of their wheat
until next June. 1t is suggested that
this holding wheat from sale by the
producers would have the effect to
stiffen prices not only for the time it is
held back but all through the year were
it not for the common practice of stor-
ing at shipping points. Time
and roads both favoring at
hat season, our farmers are
in the habit Of drawing their grain in
during the latter part of winter, and
much of it is delivered in the fall and
early winter. 1t is of course most con-
venient to do the hauling at those sea-
sons, and it is desirable to have the
wheat ready for immediate delivery
when profitable sale can be made. But
with the present prospect Of low prices
not only through the winter, but in the
spring, would it not in the end be better
for farmers to hold their wheat in their
own granaries, where it is out Of sight
as well as out of reach Of manipulators

has now four councils with a member

their members are saving over $1,000
per week in making purchases. They
have just closed a contract for supply

of $1.3O per ton. They claim that
they can buy -four in Chicago and have
it delivered at their doors for $7.45 per

Grange.
TIoN Is FOR AL 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-
livered at the last National Grange meeting
at st. Louis, January, 1874:
"Article xii also demands most serious
consideration to definitely decide what in
depreciation shall be put upon the word
political" am gratitied that our members
are substantially a unit in the opinion that
the Order should not in any sense become a
political party But at the same time, there
are questions most fundamentally affecting
our material Interests qchich can OnIu be
reached through tegisL&ti0n.-It 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

members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege of can
wasting them on the ground of politics.
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied as follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM
1--WE emphatically and sincerely assert the
OFT repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dlnate, Is not a 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 discuss their merits in
its meetings.
Yeti PRINCIPLES We TEACH UNDERILE ALL
TRUE POLITICS, ALL True CRAFTSMANSHIP, and
II 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.
