A RUSE DE GUEkRE.

There is movement, we learn, on foot, t.

orders Of the usurper Kellogg or any of hi.
wretched subordin ties.
The specious argument used to induce
young gentlemen to join these companies is
that the militia is now composed OF negroe,
| who, in the event of any disturbance before
during or after the election, might use tn
rms that they hold against the people,
there be no white force organized to hol,
them in check. They are led to believe tina
It will b. master stroke of policy to check

The Grange advance., 1874-01-28
For tho Grange Advance.
The Future Price OF Wheat.

In your issue of December 31st, We
endeavored to show that the farmer, in
order to get a higher price for his
wheat, must not deliver it into ware
houses, but keep it on the farm, alleg-
ing that, when so delivered, the wheat
found its way into tn, mouths Of con-
sumers, while the farmer fondly i'm.
agined he held it in his breeches' pock-
ct in the shape of warehouse receipt.
We also promised to have something
further to say about other ways of ad-
vancing the price of wheat.
When the farmer parts with wheat
nowadays he gets in return, not gold
and silver the product of some other
mans labor, but printed promises to
pay" The more of these printed
promises to pay" there are in exist
ence, the higher the price the farmer
will get for his wheat and the easier he
will get out of debt Our legislators at
one time said, it was good to issue
these promises to pay, let more be IS
sued. The talk about resumption of
specie payments is all insincere; the
road to resumption lies not in contrac.
tion but in expansion, expansion until
the miserable bubble of paper money
explodes. Let Congress be petitioned
to issue a hundred millions of green
backs year and pass free banking
law, so that the West can have the
means to hold or market a crop as it
pleases, and wheat will rise to the salts
faction Of every producer.
In your next issue we will give an
other way to advance the price of wheat
in the Northwest. xxx

On Tuesday, Jan. goth, I had the
pleasure of being present at the installa-
tion of the officers of the Vasa Grange.
Bro. j. 4. Simmons, of Burnside Grange
performed the installation ceremonies.
The ceremonies were public, and were
held at the house of Bro. Swan Peter.
son, a large and attentive audience be-
ing present. After the officers were
duly installed, speeches were made in the
English and Swedish languages. Those
in English were sharp, logical and
right to the point; Of those in
Swedish I could only Judge Of their
merits by the almost breathless atten-
tjou in which they were received. But
I must change the subject. The sisters
Of the Vasa Grange had provided sup
per for all in attendance, and oh Mr..
Editor such supper! I would describe
it but it battles all description. Suffice
it to say it was a tiptop entertainment,
gotten up and served in very neat and
orderly manner, and reflects great credit
upon the sisters of Vasa Grange. Bros.
Simmons and Grow, the champion Pic
nickers Of their respective towns, had a
set to (the table, which was one Of the
most interesting features of the occasion.
Both were in splendid condition, in fact
had been training since Julyla last. From
the first to the twentieth round there
was no decided advantage either way,
Grow being light weight, he got the
worst Of the battle from the twentieth
to the twenty-fifth round. Four more
rounds were then fought, but it was ev-
ident to all that Grows defeat was now
only question Of time, the preponder-
ance of Simmons in heft and girth was
telling fearfully upon his opponent.
Twenty-ninth and last round; both
came to the scratch with reluctance.
Simmons after some slight sparring put
