The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-11-05

We have made our arrangements
With the great commission house Of
Schroeder & Lindblor., Milwaukee,
Wis, to give US, if possible. every week,
letter upon the State Of the markets.
We believe these gentlemen to be
perfectly reliable, having ourself ship.
ped many car loads Of our own wheat
70 them. which they disposed Of to our
entire satisf ,ction.
The proposition they make is an ex-
cellen. one. in reference to storing
wheat. We would suggest that in the
State Grange meeting in December
next, committee be appointed to con-
fer with those gentlemen and if neces-
sary that an agent be sent to
Milwaukee to look after the
interests of the Oranges of this
State in that city to supervise the
sale OF their wheat and to make pur-
chases for them.
1t is evident that at the figures
Mcssrs. Schroeder and :Lindblom give,
many thousands Of dollars might be
saved annually on storage; while our
wheat would be or hand ready to take
advantage of the fluctuations Of the
Milwaukee market. At the same time
it weuld be a great responsibility to
advise our farmers to place perhaps a
million or more bushels Of wheat, in the
hands Of any man Or men, however
reputable, until every precaution is first
ION for safety.
We know our wheat -raisers will be
glad to hear from Messrs. Schroeder
and Lindblom and we trust the ac-
quaintance thus formed will be mutual
~ advantageous to all parties.

THE REVOLUTION,

The tidal wave which ought to have
swept the land when Grant was elected
two years ago; and which was only
stayed then by defeetions among the
ultra Democrats, and by the corrupt
use Of immense sums of money, has
come at last; and has overwhelmed
Massachusetts, New York. Ohio, Indi-
ana, Pennsylvania. Missouri, Michigan,
nearly all the North and the entire
South. A long suffering people have at
last broken the withes Of party preju-
dice which have bound them.
All that is needed to hold the fields
we have won, is wisdom and righteous
ness on the part of our leaders. Give
us these and tbs party Of corruption
and racc-hatrcds iS buried forever.
In Minnesota we have storlneu the
Malakoti of Repubiicanism, and if we
have not actually captured it, we have
made great breaches in its walls, through
which next year the advancing hosts Of
Reform will enter.
The Legislature will be very close.
We have reduced, n the Senate, the
Republican majority Of fourteen, of last
winter, to not more than two or three !;
and we may have carried it. In the
House the Opposition will probably
have small majority.
We have votes enough in both
branches to pass an efficient railroad
law. and wipe out the abortion of the
last Legislature.
Ali the signs Of the times point to-
ward the election Of an Opposition Pres
idcnt in 1876. In what better way can
we celebrate the centennial anniversa-
ry of the cations birth than by plac-
ing in power a wise, honest, conservative
party, that will preserve undiminished
the rights Of all men, and protect alike
all sections Of our common country
We do not yet give up hope that both
Wilson and Cox are elected. If they
are defeated it Will tc by very small
majorites. The Republican party can
well cNclalm, with Napoleon lone
more such victory and we are undone.
SO cheer mp, friends. With much
accomplished, much remaius TO be
done. Close up the ranks carry the
dead and wounded to the rear correc,
our faults Of strategy advance oul
battle-tattered standards, and prepare
to move forward III 1875 to certain ant
overwhelming victory.

market, while other countries have been
raising more of their own bread than
formerly. This has been owing
tie remarkable harvests, which
cannot be depended upon
Tor several successive seasons. Failures
nave occurred among operators in grain
but they may be traced in every in
stance to the attempts Of the parties
concerned to step aside from their le-
gltlnate places and float their specula-
lions on the strength OF the credit won
in sound way. A good deal Of such
dead timber" will be cleared out be-
fore the day Of prosperity returns.
and but little regret can be expressed
that such should be the case.
1t is yet TOO early to speak positively
OF the provision market, but it is well
known that old stocks have been closely
consumed, and that the shipments
awaiting favorable weather for trans
portation will be eagerly taken-up.''
The year 1875, it is believed by many
merchants, will be a busy and prosper.
GUS one beyond even the most sanguine
expectations expressed.
At one of the leading grocery houses
in the city the prospect. instead of be-
ing gloomy one, is considered to be
very cheerful. While some allowance
had to be made in their case to greatly
increased facilities for doing business.
there was a decided improvement
over the business of recent
years. the transactions of the
past month having been vastly better
than those of the corresponding month
last year. Dealers are not so reckless
in their purchases as formerly, and city
buyers are particularly close in select
ing stock. The impression has gained
with this house that people are getting
down to 'hard pan" and that from
this time forward there will be steady
improvement. Business will be dona
with more regard to the law of supply
and demand, and recognition of the
rincip!e will result. it is believed, in
the real, instead of the fictitious, ad-
vancement of the community.
In the boot and shoe, hat and cap,
clothing and general manufacturing
trades there is less activity than has
been known for many seasons,
with the exception of the TALL
Of 1873, but there is brave de.
termination on the part of the manu-
facturers to retain their workmen in the
face of the present dullness in the hope
of an early improvement. Piano
makers, organ builders. sewing machine
manufacturers, especially the leading
firms in these lines. are maintaining
their working forces, and report an i'm
provement and better prospects. The
photographic printers are doing less
than formerly, but the cause is found
in the resort to letter press work by
those who have consulted their fancy
hitherto rather than studied economy,
Book printing is dull, except in the
houses Of one or two large firms, the
plan of lending work to distant points,
where rents are low and labor cheap.

"Gath,'' the famous George Alfred

interview with Gen. j. b. kershaw, the
leader of the whites in South Carolina,

"No. You may count them on your

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

SA' VOo6Ah IA, Log OVoOAAAcOS Sos 1os -
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
1 noticed in your paper OF last week, In
the proceedings of the Returning Board,
that the Democratic member Of the Board
had entered, or reserved the right to enter,
protest in the case of the parish of Tensas,
on the ground that our Republican major
ity was so large that there must have been
some ''shenanigan" during the election,
see. also. in Wednesdays Picoyune. that
Tensas is classed among the contested par
ishes. 1t is one of the moss absurd ideas
that could be imagined, that anything was
wrong in the Tensas returns, as no word Of
complaint had been fled by either party,
and the registration, as well as the results
of all past elections, will account for the
large majority in favor of the Republicans.
Then, again, there has never, since recon.
structiOn, been Democratic parish ticket
in the field. At the last election there was
but one ticket in the parish, and that was
the regular Republican ticket. The Demo
Gratis scratched and pasted on our tickets,
a majority of them voting our parish ticket.
and many voted for Dubuclet.
The Democrats in the parish are satisfied
that Democratic member Of the board en-
tered his protest as a joke, or to burlesque
our committee's protests in the cases OF De
Soto, Sabine and others.
Tensas has too good q reputation 90 be
trlfled with, and hope our official journal
will stand up to the banner parish. II they
undertake to interfere with the returns of
Tensas, you will do me favor by informing
them, through your colamns, what an ab-
surd idea it is to charge anything wrong
with a parish that is known to have the
best political organization, and to be the
best governed, the most prosperous, hav
ing the largest Republican majority of
any parish in the State. and, furthermore,
where the Democrats Of the parish make no
charges or complaints.
Trusting you will keep an eye on Ten.as,
remain, yours, sincerely.

Mr.. Sherman said he frequently had

Of which was for the modification Of the

The bill TO provide for anew government

Mr.. Morton offered an amendment to make
the board of commissioners elective by the
qualified voters Of the District instead OF
having them appointed by the President.
In speech supporting his amendment be
said he had no doubt it would be said that

Messrs. Morrill,. Of Name. Thurman and

their report is expected before Christmas
This commission consists Of three engineers
from the army and two civilians. 1t is said
general and comprehensive system Of i'm
provement for the levees along the borders
Of Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The report also says that the President con-
templates accompanying the report with q
strong recommendation for an appropriation
and authorization permitting the engineer
corps to begin Immediately :his much need

An Associated Press dispatch Of the Same
date is to the following effect:
The commission sent to Europe 90 exam
inc the jetty system at the Danube and
other rivers, with the view of ascertaining
whether it could be adopted in deepening
the mouth of the Mississippi, are now at
Southwest Pass. It is understood that
Generals Comsteck and Wright are of
opinion that the jetty system is impracti-
cable for the Mississippi, and that the Fort
st. Philip canal, being examined by another
commission, is the only way to avoid the
mud lump blockade which has SO seri-
Ously interfered with the commerce Of the
river.
The commission, OF whom General War
rem is president, appointed by the President
to report upon the best method for impr0v-
ing the levees of the Mississippi and reclaim
ing lands, are unanimous in the opinion
that .he government should begin at once
q comprehensive system of rebuilding and
improving levees bordering on Arkansas:
Mississippi and Louisiana. as otherwise the
crevasses caused by the floods of last spring
will expose the inhabitants Of the sub
merged districts TO more serious trouble
than they have yet experienced. and utterly
impoverish the people.
