From the address of the Master of the
National Grange, Master Adams of Iowa, de-
livered at the last National Grange meeting
at St Louis, January, 1874:
article xii also demands most serious
consideration to definitely decide what in
depreciation shall be put upon the word
| political" | am gratihed that our members
are substantially unit in the opinion that
the Order should not in any sense become a
political party. But at the same time, there
are questions most fundamentally affecting
our material interests iDhich can only be
reached through legisLGtiou.-It seems I'M
PERArIvE that such questions should BE DIS
cussed in tie Grange Shall it be said that
such questions were political in the meaning
of the Constitution? The questions OF
TRANSPORTATION, TAXATION, FINANCE, COR
RUPTIoN IN PUBLIC PLACES, lrere such as come
home to the conSciences and pockets of our
members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege of can
wasting them on the ground Of politics"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied as follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
Eve emphatically and sincerely assert the
Oft repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dinate, is not a political or party organiza-
! ton. No Grange, is true to its obligations,
can discuss political or religious questions,
nor call political conventions, nor nominate
candidates, nor even discuss their merits in
| its meetings.
| Yet the PRINCIPLES We TEACH UNDERLIR ALL
TRUE POLITICS, ALL TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP, and
| If properly carried out will tend to purify the
whole political atmosphere of our country
For we seek the greatest good to the greatest
number.
We must always bear in mind that mo one,
by becoming Patron of Husbandry, gives
up that inalienable right and duty which be-
longs to every American citizen, to take q
proper interest in the politics Of his country"

What the Grangers will Bring
About.

The sudden and brilliant fortunes
made by Western speculation will cease.
Wealth must be won by slow and pa
tient industry, and great caution and
judgment. We doubt, if this year, we
have the annual autumn stringency or
panic, because of the accumulation of
capital here on account Of the dread OF
the Granger movements. In time, of
course. this ease Of the market and &C.
emulation of money here will lead to
speculation again, but for many years,
in our opinion, the Changers will have
brought certain calm to the fevered
speculations of our Eastern capitalists.
The East will now show a more regular
and measured growth.-N. Y. Times.

The following, from the Muncie
(Iowa) Granger, every honest man will
endorse. The Changers of Wisconsin
are entitled to the warmest sympathy
of their friends throughout the country.
They have not only got all the Monopo-
ly wealth and influence of the State to
contend with, but some hypocritical
friends, owned by the railroads, whose
motto seems to be to rob the pnblic
treasury and cheat the people:
'The Changers in Wisconsin are en-
gagged in desperate contest with their
railroads. Every member of the Order
in the Union should take lively inter
est in the struggle, and it would
strengthen the hands of our Badger
brethren if every Grange in the States
would pass resolutions expressing their
brotherly sympathy and support.

AFalling Wheat Market.
For the week -athough,receipts
at both Milwaukee, and Chicago aggre-
gated less than a million; and half
bushels and were but little if any in ex-
cess of shipments, and while there was
not for this season an unusual accumu-
lation at New York-wheat has slowly
but steadily declined in selling value.
Yesterday the decline became more
rapid at the lake ports, beng steady
throughout the day, and at Chicago
from SO to % 3-sc for August wheat
at Milwaukee from IS to 81 lac for the
same. Advices of this morning from
Liverpool noting decline of
I'D quarter since yesterday had the
effect of creating a panicky feeling under
the influence of which the Chicago
market opened at 90 1-8c for August
wheat and the Milwaukee market at 88
l-2c for the same. At noon. however,
both markets had rallied though the
reaction has not come up to yesterdays
values; and it is apparent the depres-
sion will be more or less permanent.
At present prices No. 2 wheat, for
shipment is really worth on the river
not more than 75c, and at interior
points, according to their remoteness
five or ten cents less. That doesn't
look encouraging, either for farmers or
grain dealers, but there is hope that a
month hence the outlook may
be much improved. Through and
just after harvest time each year the
wheat markets are always depressed
and usually to the lowest point of the
year. The actual results Of harvest
are only guessed at, and exaggeration is
the rule in such guessing. Two weeks
from now it may be known what the
actual condition is, and whether or not,
as is now guessed, the grain-producing
countries have too large surplus of
wheat. Until then, prices will not be
established, and will depend from day
to day upon the fears or courage of OPP
orators in the principal markets. The
fact that prices are declining at this time
indicates only that TIE general opinion
among operators is that the world will
not furnish market this year for the
surplus wheat Of the Northwest

THE LABOR WAR.

MEETING OF BOSS BRICKLAYERS.
As is we'll known, the recent action Of the sew
eral trades unions in debating the price of labor
and the hours Of work, has caused the formation
OF similar organizations among the employers
the last one being the master bricklayers who
deemed such step necessary for their protec-
ton. Several consultations have been held in re-
gard to the differences between the employees and
the bosses N this craft, and II expected that
at meeting held last night the subject would
come uD for final settlement, but when the COM
mIttee charged with the duty was called upon
they reported that the action Of the association
upon the subject had been duly communicated to
the Bricklayers' Union, but that yet no reply
had been received. Consequently no further ac-
ton was taken.
The society then adopted q constitution and by
laws, the principal provisions Of which were that
If any boss offered an tndueement to the employees

other manner he should be fined ten dollars; and
II any boss employed an apprentice who had left

should be expelled from the society.
