Struck the Right Note.

Mr.. EDITOR II see by the last number of
the Farmers Union that the Hennepin Coun-
ty Council, at session just closed, passed
some resolutions condemning the action Of
the Ex-Committee Of the State Grange in
appointing three Of their number to Lob
by during the present session Of the Legis
lature.
The resolutions recite the action of the
State Grange when the question was before
it, and l do not suppose that any member
Of that body will pretend for a moment
but that the action Of the State Grange was
very decided and emphatic in disposing Of
the question.
If these gentlemen are there on their
own responsibility, and foot their own bills,
all right but if they suppose that the Pat
rons of Minnesota will remunerate them
for doing what they were ordered not to do,
they reckon without their host.
The members Of the order in Minnesota
are striving by economy, perseverance, and
hard work to save from unscrupulous hands
what little they have left, and they will
not submit to be robbed by professed Friends
The duties Of the Executive Committee are
to carry out the orders of the State Grange,
just what their name and title indicate ::
when they exceed this they are adrift, and
it will not take long, ere they "ville du
Havre." Thanks to the watchfulness of
Hennepin County Patrons. Let every
Grange in Minnesota endorse the resolution.

Some time ago = correspondent =. desired
our opinion as to whether motion TO adj
journ was ever in order in the Grange. It
is our opinion that such a motion is never
in order. We understand that parliament
tary usage governs in the proceedings Of
the Grange, where the ritual and bylaws
are silent, but when the ritual regulates
any part of the proceedings, it thereby as
effectually abrogates parliamentary usage
on that point as though it contained IN ex-
press provision to that effect. We under
stand this to be the rule in all societies
having ritual.

Shall We Contract or Initiate {?

The financial question seems to be too
much for Congress. AS yet, nothing has
been done on this subject, except to fill the
Congressional Globe with speeches. A
few days ago Wall street was betting on
- inflation," but its transactions would
now indicate that the chances are in favor
Of contraction. 1t may seem little strange
to the unsophisticated that we should put
our finger on Wall street to ascertain the
condition Of the Congressional pulse. 1t
has, however, long been regarded rs the
best thermometer Of the financial tempera-
ture at Washington.
We're it not for the fact Of the present
unequal distribution of the national cur
rency, we should oppose any expansion at
present. If an equal distribution could be
obtained without increasing the volume Of
the currency we should not favor an in
crease, but if it can not be reached in any
other way, then we most certainly favor an
expansion to the extent Of equalizing the
distribution.
Let us look at the present location of the
currency. The Home Journal makes some
figures which we will use, for we are satis-
fed of their correctness: Pennsylvania,
with greater population than the whole Of
New England, has allotted to her $42, ,O55,-
73l of national bank circulation, while New
England has $1l0, ,489, ,966, or more than
twice as much. This inequality increases
as we 60 West and South for instance, New
England has circulation of $3l.68 per
capita; the Middle States, $12.82: the
West, $500; the South and Southwest,
1921.
Now is it any wonder that with such q
distribution money is so scarce in the West :?
Is it any wonder that interest rules so
high in the South and West Is it
any wonder that Senator Anthony can
present to Congress petitions protesting
against any interference with the present
distribution with lists of names that would
reach almost from the present location Of
Dives to that of Lazarus?
At present there seems to be no possibil-
ity Of wrenching from the favored localities
any portion Of this currency and replacing
it:where it rightfully belongs. This very
currency itself becomes powerful engine
in their hands to prevent such equitable
legislation. If, then, we cannot get our
rightful share, in that way let US have an
expansion Of the currency to be allotted to
the States which are now so deficient. 1t
may be said that the South and West do
not require 50 much as the East to do their
business, which may be true, to certain
extent, but We hardly think any one vim
The Grange advance., 1874-03-11

fo.rra for a moment contend that we, DO not mead
more than one e-fourth az much, per capita.
as New England. If. however, the in
creased currency is to be distributed in the
proportion that the present volume is, we
want no more expansion. We prefer to
have one-quarter Of our share rather than
one sixth or one-eighth.

Tom Scott, the great Pennsylvania rail-
road king, says tha, all he asks of the gov
ernment now is 10 guarantee the payment
vi the interest Oh the bonds of the Texas
Pacific Railway. Oh mo'lesty, thy name is
not Tom Scott. What if a merchant
should ask the government to guarantee y
good interest on the capital he should pnt
into business. and all over the interest he
could make he would put into his own
pocket: What if a farmer should 90 to
specializing i'll wheat and ask the govern
ment to guarantee him IL round interest on
the money he should risk in the business?
What if any man hut IL railroad king had
made this request, wouldn't he have been
hustled into all insane asylum just as quick
as the papers could be made: We shall
see shortly whether Thomas OWNS the
whole government or not.
On the inside Of this issue we print the
speech OF D. ". Wellnlan delivered at Zum-
brota on the Attn instant, on the subject of
a narrow gauge railway from Wabasha to
faribaull. independent Of its local in
tcrcst, as connected with the road in uues-
'lon, the speech is very valuable for the
great amount OF information that it con-
/ tains with regard to narrow gauge roads in
general. 1t looks now Us though the build
ing of narrow gauge roads would, at no
very distant day, furnish a solution to some
Of the difficulties Of transportation. In a
week among the farmers, we have found
that they look upon the labor Of marketing
their crops as the most difficult part of farm
work.
10 have a market which can at least be
reached, and the farmer return to his home
the same day, making moderate days
drive, seems to be, at the present time, in
this State, the one thing desired by every
farmer. II this can be accomplished by
the building Of narrow gauge roads, great
good will have been accomplished, and the
farmers be saved many hardships and his
family much anxiety.

There has been the greatest interest manifested

and prove their latin in their horses by entering
Tor this race. There are between 100 AMI 200 stall
ions seeking TO win their way into pubic favor
through the medium OF the leading turf journals,
and the great public to whom they appeal for sup
port will certainly expect to see the different
lilies represented in this stake. New England and
New York Will literally respond TO Mr.. Blancnard's
invitation to meet on the famous Mystic Park in
September, and the great West should also come
to the rescue to try conclusions with the Eastern
flyers. II half OF the horses enter who are now 80
prominently before the public the race will be
