In order TO meet the present emergency,
and the wants of the present season, we have
perfected arrangements Mt st. Louis, with
Brother Price, the agent for Missouri, 70
purchase anything found in that market at
the very lowest cash price. The money to
accompany the order. Goods can be bought
in whole or broken packages, in the same
way SIS advertised BY Y. M. Hail, of Chica.
go, LII. But, Of course, II is desirable TO buy
in whole packages so far as possible. Par.
ties ordering goods in the grocery line can
make use Of the price list of Y. Nj. Hall, rs
found in circular No. 4, from this Office, as
guide in making the bills and sending the
money. Agricultural implements or other
goods Of any kind can be ordered Of Brother
Price, with an assurance that they will be
bought by him at the lowest cash rates in
the ~. Louis market.
But to carry this matter on successfully,
our orders should be collected together ia
each subordinate grange, as often as once 10
each month, and passed over to the council
agent with the funds accompanying, and be
by him properly sent forward. Each per.
sons order will be filed by itself, and then
the orders of given agent or locality, all
packed together and forwarded to the proper
council agent who will see that each parcel
is delivered to the party entitled In this
way everything is procured with the least
possible margin for handling. Brother Price
will sell all kinds OF farm products, Except
live stock.) The larger the volume of trade
we can concentrate into his hands the better
will be the terms we can secure.
In conclusion, permit me TO say that nego-
tiations are under way, and we think in due
time will be perfected, to enable us here in
the northwest, to ship our surplus products Of
certain kinds, direct to our own agents in the
South and East.
Our Order is in its infancy and rapidly
spreading aud no one can fathom its posi-.
bilities for good in the future. What is most
needed at the present time, is to perfect and
systematic our business branch. II cannot
be denied, 10 our own state at least, that this
feature has been prominent one in swelling
our membership and we ought to use every
means in our power to make cooperation in
buying and selling among agriculturists a
success; at the same time remembering al
ways that the achievements Of our Order, in
a social and educational point of view, are
not to be computed in dollars and cents.
And thus may We be enabled in due time to
solve the mystery of why it is, that the
producing classes of our land enjoy so little
of that wealth OF which they, and they only,
are the creators )" and in the words Of a
leading journal, may we not hope, The hour
is about to strike when labor will assert its
rights and demand, not only its whole share
Of what it produces, but that society shall
accord to it all the dignity which attaches to
any occupation"

X. S. A. p. of II.

The Executive Committee of the State

capacity, as State Purchasing Agent. He

office, and opened a correspondence with the
leading manufacturers OF agricultural nipple.
ments, with a view OF purchasing direct from
them, and saving to the farmers two or three
profits now made by the middle-men. u
He has established himself at Winona. where
he has warehouses and extensive yards, in
which he keeps a supply Of agricultural i'm
plements of various kinds. His salary is
made up by commission OF two per cent.
upon all his purchases, but all over 81 800
is turned into the Treasury of the State
Grange He has made arrangements with
the leading manufacturers of the country 10
furnish their manufactures at an average dis
count from retail prices Of thirty-three and
one-thrd per cent The manufacturers Of
the Marsh and Edward harvesters, the Nc.
Cormick and Champion reapers, implements
heretofore extensively used IN this State,
would make no terms with Mr.. Denman, and
as a consequence they will make no sales
here this year. Some Illinois pillow. makers,
who have had large portion OK the Minneso-
Ia trade, also refused to make any concess-
ions to the farmers, and consequently they,
too, are virtually ruled out Of this market.
In place of these implements, the Hubbard
reaper and mower and the Hubbard harves-
ter, now manufactured in this city, aud the
Monitor aud Minnesota plows, also made
here, will be sold These are second TO none
made, but other manufacturers have hereto
fore injured their sale by combining to un-
dersell them, and, being supplied with plen-
~ of capital, could afford to sell at cost rath-
or thahshave our manufacturers get the trade
Of the State. But the patrons propose to en-
courage home manufacture to the fullest ex-
tent, aud, OF course, our manufacturers will
do everything in their power to serve them
honestly and we'll. Ii is estimated that
Minnesota last year expended upward of four
millions Of dollars for agricultural machin-
cry, and If an equal amount is required this
year the saving of thirty-three aud one-third
per cent. will be very handsome sum in the
pockets of our farmers.

i, not general known that Queen Victoria,
rs .oon as she heard Of the proposed mar
riage, made inquiries regarding Mr.. Sarto-
ria, and wrote letter to the President in
which she confidently endorsed him. This
letter probably arose from the ,incere per

About ii O'clock the dogs take . tongue

they are, like the Hon. FL jah Pogram,

up her voice and lamen.s. The lament of
