Warren.

Some years ago an old lady said in view of the fact that a new house was going up in WarruE. that she nearly believed that Warren would some day be seaport town. Her faith, however, has not yet become fact and perhaps never will. But there is a thing that Warren has become and that is Tea-port town. A stranger stopped a few days sine under the shade m front of Burt Gilberts store and was astounded at the array of empty tea chests to be seen, by actual count, one hundred and forty-six. These the fa- nous merchant had cmptied in less than two months, his sales being about hun dred chests per month. Such a fact is certainly worth little printers ink. That such town, so located, far off among the hIlls remote from railroad and from great lines of travel, difficult of access, should have such tea trader is wonderful. It is almost tho eighth wonder of the world. And yet there is nothing wonderful in the fact. It only furnishes another instance of what enterprise and perseverance can do. NIT. Gilbert began trade about fifty two years ago with a most robust physi- cal constitution and with large share of keen. shrewd Yankee common sense and industry and he has steadily and uniform ly followed mp and attended to his busl- ness till now he is one of the wealthiest men in the region. But that in which he takes most pride is the development of his vast trade in tca-selling to residents of towns all over the county and moro or less to those dwelling in the region be- yOnd. And his tea can't be beat. Indeed Mr. Gilbert belongs to that class of men that ''are bound to win" Had he had the advantages and cultivation of a liber- eral education in any of the learned pro- fessions he would certainly have stood high, ,or, ,had he devoted himself to politics, he had been one of tho foremost mon of ont times. But such has not been hls fortune. And, had it been, a famous tea merchant would have been lost to Warren and the world. 1 54srt 3. 1t.,f ! D.

The Jubilee of Labor.

President Grant, not being given to such
things, could not have intended to make a
pun when he said Agriculture is the ground
'oork of our national prosperity. He stated
as he meant to do, fundamental truth.
There are abundant statistics to show that
the majority of those who go into trade fail.
And years ago Adam Smith declared that
mining is the surest road to national power
ty. When the California gold fever was at
its height, the farmers on the banks Of the
Willamette in Oregon found that they could
obtain California gold more cheapy and
surely by raising wheat and corn on their
farms, than by going to the mines to dig it
for themselves. Aud over our country gen.
orally it is true, that the earth yields her
most certain riches to those who dig with a
subsoil plough. When the sides OF our am
pie mother are tickled with the implements
of husbandry, she laughs grain and fruits
and vegetables out of her mouth.
The modern mans work, says a recent writ
er, is no longer to splinter houses and break
down walls, but to break soil, to build barns
and factories and to find high employm ent
for himself in what hitherto has been despis.
ed as degrading. How to elevate labor,
how to make it beautiful, how to enlist the
spirit in 1t, for in no other way can it be
made humanity speaking profitable, that is
the problem which many are trying to
solve.
We are not simply race of dollar hun
tiers, but are seeking for ourselves conditions
Of life in which the free and genial spirit of
each one may assert itself. We desire not
simply to live, but to DO men, men Of
thought as well as action, men who know
how to enjoy themselves sensibly, and
who can walk this earth with the msin and
bearing of ideal existeuces. 1t is not he
who raises the largest pumpkin or the big
gest steer or he whose wife makes the best
butter and cheese that has the highest clai IN
to the possession of the earth. But rather
he who is the best able to enjoy the riches
which the earth yields to his labOrs.-Rut-
land Herald.

What is Money.

Money Is conventional representative Of
value. Money is used as medium of ex-
change, to avoid the expense of the postage
aud storage Of merchandise. Money must
possess some quality Of permanence recogni-
Fable in common by the negotiating parties.
Gold and silver possess such qualities more
than any other substances, being not easily
destroyed, desired for their beauty, aud ex-
isti1g in so small quantities that the entire
amount Of them in the world may be known,
and compared with the entire amount Of all
other property, whereby the quantity of one
which will equal given quantity of the
other, may be readily computed. For these
reasons gold and silver have certain re-
cognized value the world over and by them
the price Of all comodties are established
When, therefore, one party not having
money, receives money or merchandise Of
another party, promising to pay money in
return, the promise signifies money aud not
moneys worth. The promise is not the
money, nor is another promise given in place
of it money. No one can justly be forced
to accept promise for anything given or ia
ken away. Therefore no paper bills Of cred
it, of whatever name, can justly be account
ed pay Of legal currency. Any such law
whatever is in its nature prima tacie evil
dence Of intentional fraud, and any nation
passing and enforcing such an act is guilty Of
wholesale robbery.
1t may be pleaded that such promises are
paid by governmental service when they are
redeemed by postage stamps or taken for
taxes. Well, il they are, they are not paid
according to the promise, for the promise is
in dollars, not in service. The one who
holds the promise may not want the service,
but does want the dollar to pay another
party wanting not the service of either, but
the dollar. Any claim that the term dollar
is only unit of value, as a yardstick, and
therefore payment must be awaited until
something Of corresponding value is wanted
aud can be given, is fallacious, although
some towns acting upon this assumed princi-
pie of the general government, refuse to pay
their bills except by giving orders to tax
payers who must wait till their taxes cover
them.
The United States agree to pay dollars.
Are dollars units of value? Are the units
Of value merchandise, and, if so, any mer-
chandise. If l buy yard sticks. am OBJ
liged to receive cord wood, laths, clapboards,
or even gutta.percha strips, or may re-
quire measuring rods of standard length,
and properly graduated ? Uncle Sam, you

you do it ?-J. II. p. Guild, IN Argus.

The Great Grange Movement.

The first movement among the farmers for
the purpose Of organized action to promote
theirinterests was the formation of farmers
clubs. After this came the powerful organ
ization of the Patrons of Husbaudry. The
rapid progress Of the order is in great de-
gree attributable to Its better aud more sys-
tematic organization. In the western states,
its growth has been oLe Of the most remark
able incidents in our social history. 1t
grew out Of direct and long felt need for
an organization that would enable the farm
ers to consult together aud arrive at COM
mon understanding in regard to their in.
terests.
OF late years it has been manifest to
many who are now Patrons that the cordial
ity and social status which formerly existed
between professional men aud themselves,
has, TO great extent, ceased to exist, aud
this conviction has strengthened until it has
become universal. Farmers do not aspire
to any special privileges as class, but
claim, what they are always willing to give,
equal and exact justice to all who have a
common interest ia harmonizing the relations
Of labor and capital.
All will concede that the power of the
order is now great, and the Patrons of
Husbandry will be in no small degree respon-
sble for future events. The order is the
child Of necessity. The farmers have been
the last TO organize, not for the purpose Of
pulling down, but Of building up society on
principles Of justice aud equity.
The intellectual benefits that will accrue
will add glory aud dignity to farm life, and
enable the true husbandman to assume his
rightiul position in aiding in the enactment
Of laws that will be more in harmony with
universal justice and the welfare of the la
boring classes. There have been too man y
men and women who have desired to live
without work. The grange proposes to ben.
eft society, not only by exalting universal
labor, but by educating it, so that skill shall
receive its merited reward.
The power Of the grange movement will
be directed to the reduction Of taxes "a
year before the war, the cost Of government,
on our valuation, was Of per cent 1t
now costs per cent, without taking into ac'
count indirect expenses, but interest on the
debt. Add indirect expense, and 2 pei
cent is fair estimate at the present time
II the same principles Of economy prevailed
now as then, there would be a saving to tax
payers of at least 3 per cent. This country
under such advantages in government, would
spring into newness of life, and our COM
MERGE would once more be restored"
IL by an irresistible concert Of action the
! Patrons can bring about reasonable reduc

ton of taxes, they will not have sprung into
existence in vain. The farmer, as we'll as
any other class, has the right to demand
an honest profit on the capital he has invest.
cd, aud when he sells his crop, receive his
pay therefor 10 currency that shall be re.
ceived at par in any portion Of the world.
Honest legislation by the people, aud for
the people, is an imperative demand on their
part, that will sooner or later find express
sion. Concert Of action in the order, to
bring about desired and needed reforms, is u
duty that is incumbent upon il. How we'll
the Patrons Of Husbandry will perform that
duty, remains to be seen. The agricultural
classes have never yet faltered in response
to great public duty, and in the present
instance will no doubt DO found equal to the
occasion. Other legitimate business inter.
ests will never suffer at the hands of the
farmer, for he possesses intelligent foresight
enough to know that if one branch of human
industry suffers, all suffer.-C olmanS Rural

Failure of E. E. Morgans Sons.

The firm of 4. Il. Morgan's Sons at San
Francisco was the one chosen by the Gran
gers of California to consign their wheat to,
for direct shipment to Europe. 1t was doing
an immense business in the shipping line,
and was regarded as one OF the most sub
stantial houses in the business. The house
at San Francisco was only branch, the
maid house being in New York. Last year
they chartered fleet at certain figures, to
ship the wheat crop. The price Of wheat
rose and ireights fell and to save themselves
the firm bought and shipped wheat on its
own account. But little OF it, however, paid
cost and charges, and a large quantity net
ted heavy loss. This year they shipped
for the Grangers, and ireights again fell be-
low the rates at which their ships were char
tered. Notwithstanding, they continued
shipping aud consigning the Changers wheat
to house in Liverpool, who are to sell it
and account for proceeds to the shippers.
Thus the business continued on large scale,
until recently, when they failed, under the
combined losses of this year and last. The
Sacramento Record, from which we CLEAN
these particulars, says that no loss is entail
ed on the Changers, as the wheat was ship
ped in the name of its actual owners, and
not that of the firm, and when sold the pro.
ceeds must be returned to the shippers, less
the amount advanced by the charterers.
The failure does not affect the relations of
the Changers to the firm, and the latter still
continues to ship for them. The amount of
liabilities is reported to be sl65,000, aud it
is thought the suspension will be bat tenn
