Address Of the wisconsin Granger

The Executive Committee of the State
Grange of Wisconsin has issued an ad-
dress to the Patrons of that State in
which they urge them to beware Of the
attempts of the railroads to corrupt the
ballot box at the coming election, and
next winter undo all that was done last
winter. The committee remind the
Patrons that the State and National
Oranges have both declared for ''cheap
transportation and that it is the
fixed purpose Of the Order to 'sopen
out the channels of natures great ar
teries that the life blood of commerce
may flow freely The address further
says. I'VE have declared that we are not
the enemies Of railroads, but we are op-
posed to such spirit and management of
any corporations or enterprises as tends
to oppress the people and rob them Of
their just profits" They also declare
I'VE desire only self-protection, and the
protection of every true interest Of our
land by Legitimate transactions, 'legit-
innate trade, and legitimate profits. .
We take from the address the follow
ing extract;
"If it be possible by corrupt means
to repeal law, how much longer will
we wait to see laws enacted through the
same means in the interests Of the or
ganized power which corrupts. and in
reality confer "vested rights, which
shall eventually absorb all other rights ]!
''The times look ominous in this di-
rection. 1iore than aught else may the
toiling masses dread as their most dire
full enemy the corrupt use of the power
possessed by aggregated capital. It
means for them oppression. servitude
indirect but none the less CALLING: want.
misery, anarchy. and finally frantic and
bloody revolution.
The Patrons Of Husbandry have it
in their power to check the aggressive
power of organized capital. and the day
is at hand in Wisconsin which calls for
the exercise Of it.

MORE SOPHISTRY.

The organ Of the Monopolists, the
Farmers Union, is again pouring poi
son into the ears of the farmers of Min
nesota. Fortunately the ''leprous dis
tlment," drawn from the alembic of
President Drake, is so diluted by Aber-
nethy's natural flow of dish-water, that
it will simply disease and not destroy
the victim.
In the last number of his paper he
says:
"The West needs money 1t should in
vite foreign capital to come IN, to aid in the
development of the vast tracts OF territory
yet unsettled, and we should be careful not
to have our acts misconstrued on the part of
those who hold the purse strings.
The West needs prosperity more than
it needs money; for money does not
always mean prosperity. In 1857 one
could borrow all the money he wanted
at three per cent. a month and 1858
and 1859 saw the State swept as by the
bosom of destruction.
In Wall street. New York, money is
now piled up in immense heaps, waiting
for borrowers at four per cent. per an
mum. and finding none; while thousands
of laboring men are without work and
almost without food and the chief of
police, Matsell, has had to put on a
large force Of armed police, in Wall
street at the request Of the bankers
and money brokers, to guard their
money heaps from the mob. Here
money and starvation are brought face
to face, and revolvers and clubs alone
can keep peace between them. Why
ism Abernethy there, to convince these
starving mechanics that money being
plenty their stomachs are therefore
Unnecessarily; and that the craving
they feel is simply an illusion.
l. What the farmer of Mime
sofa wants is not chance
to borrow some one else's
money, but to prevent some one else
from stealing his money. His land. mis-
muscles, his intelligence. will give him
prosperity. if unjust laws do not grind
him to the earth.
Neither do we want any more ''vast
tracts of territory. settled until that
which is settled is rendered prosperous
The best guarantee for the growth of
the frontier is the prosperity of the
country behind it. We want no pau
pers in Dakota Territory competing
with paupers in Minnesota, all miser-
able together.
And, says Abernethy, We must be
careful not to have our acts miscon-
strued on the part of those who hold
the purse strings More of the same
beggarly. Abernethian spirit We must
come up cringing to ''the men that hold

4 GRANGE AT ITS TRUE WORK

The New Hartford, (Winona county,
Grange has been discussing Window S
proposition to build a grand trunk
railroad from New York to st. Louis
and Council Bluffs. A committee, con-
sisting of Thomas Gordon, c.. S. Grey,
and Edward Mott. make very able
report discussing the proposition. In
it they say:
They also propose to carry grain from
Chicago to New York for fifteen cents per
bushel, st. Louis eighteen, and Council
Biutfs twenty-four cents, on condition that
they receive freight to justify them, but if
they cannot get the vast amount specified in
their memorial, then they mast raise the
tariff on all produce; but if this road is built
we i'll Minnesota derive from its operation
The cost OF shipping to the nearest
point OF intersection would cost US in trans
ier as much as at present. The whole
scheme is another Central Pacific Credit
MObilier swindle, only on larger scale, and
as such we reject and condemn the whole
scheme.
Go on, gentlemen. Talk up point
dltci pOlut vi lIlc various ICIueUlcS pro-
posed for you, and discuss them all.
Do your own thinking. Don't accept
the conclusions of others; they may be
your friends, and they may be, on the
other hand, simply contriving plans to
rob you.
But above all, think for yoatrselres.
Politicians are. like fire and water. eX-
cellent servants, but abominable mas
ters. If YOU let your servants do the
thinking. they will soon be the masters
and you the servants.
The ritual is we'll enough; the ties OF
brotherhood are charming the social
development is to be desired, but, above
all, inform yourselves, read, reason,
debate. All reform must begin in your
own brains.

BATTLE HYMN OF TOLL.
BY MRS. S. NJ. SMITH.

Now hopes that bid the ling ight to
frightening morn give way,
Break through the clouds, dispel each
doubt nerve every hear. to-day;
Let not a soldier of the right grow weary of
the fray
While toll is marching on.
She has borne g1ievous bondage through
the long midnight OF years
She has fed on degradation, she has drunk
Ell bitter tears;
Lo. she bursts her clinging letters, she has
done with slavish fears,
And toll is marching on
She has helped to fashion, b.indly, the
bonds that held her fast,
She has risen not in anger, to take venge-
ance for the past,
She has sworn that all her children stall
be free men at last
For toll is marching on.
She hath giants strength to-day-take
counsel of your fears,
And heed your oath, ye rulers, who have
spurned her prayers and tears
Yield while she sues, lest justice tire, and
vengeance yet be hers.
For toll is marching on
Her waiting sons have heard the call that
thrills them through and through,
They gather at her summons from he old
world and the new,
From field and forge, from pen and plow,
they come, the strong and true,
For toll is marching On.
Resistless as the march OF fate their forces
sweep along,
Already they have set their feet upon the
ramparts strong,
That ages have upreared to guard the sure
retreats OF wrong,
And toll is marching on.
And soon expressions last strongholds,
that still above them frown,
Pierced through by truth besieging guns,
before them shall go down,
And justice. with her temples fair, their
ruined sites shall crown,
While toll goes marching on
From the Chicago Industrial Age.

say: Gentlemen, it has been reported
that we were trying to defend our

these reports are false. They do US
great injustice. We have been miscon-
strued. We possess no such spirit. We
will submit to your will in everything.

whole of it; and if you doubt the lily

The Farmers Union continues:
If Minnesota could next year be the recip-
lent OF So, 600, 900 of Eastern money, 10

new section, every farmer would say "Amen;
bring it along"
Of course we would. But if the money

rest Of the State shall forever relinquish
the right of self-protection, and consign

"your money perish with you.''
Abernethy continues:
"Let US see if we cannot restore conf

of Wall street. in order that they may go on
once more with their improvements, by ex-
Mbiting through the Union and other lead

Let US show 1.-The millionaires of Wall
street that We submit; that we are
groveling on our bellies in the mud; and
begging them to be condescending

Farmers, this man Abernethy is only

to deceive and enslave you. Every art
and artifice known to the ingenuity Of
the most ingenious of men will beeused

sands are living upon you. They will

From the address Of the Master of the
National Grange, Master Adams of Iowa, de-
ivered 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 a 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

BAzAINE's ESCAPE.
Planned and Carried Out BY His
Wife.

PARIS, Aug. l2.-It has been ascer-
tanned that the plan for Marshal Ba-
zaine' escape from the island of Sainte
Marguerite was arranged six weeks ago.
1t was entirely the work of Madame
Bazaine. The Marshal refused at first
to fly, but finally, owing to his failure
to obtain some modification Of his SEN
tence, yielded. He sailed from the ISL
and in the steam yacht Baron Ricaooli,
belonging to an Italian Company. The
prisoner refused to employ French
vessel. He was accompanied in his
fight by his wife and brother. His
place of refuge is not known. Some
persons say he is in Spain. The do
mestics at the fort where the Marshal
was imprisoned have been arrested.

The great order is making itself felt
even in the far east. The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican of the 9Th inst.
contains long account of a picnic cele-
bration at Lake Pleasant in Montague,
Mass. 1t says:
That they had good time socially,
gastronomically, mentally and sensibly
we can testify. A dozen oranges in
Hampshire and Franklin counties were
represented. some Of them largely, as,
for example, South Hadley, where 81
out Of 55 put in an appearance. The
largest delegation was from Deerfeld,
but from every quarter the well-flled
picnic baskets told of breadth Of hos
pitality and courtesy that was as re-
freshing to the strangers and exchang-
ers as it was creditable to the contri-
butors."
Prof. Stock kbridge addressed them :
he said we wage no war on the mer-
chant or middle-man. The proper du-
ties of the merchant are essential to
our prosperity. But the exchange Of
produce has led to abuses -speculations,
corners and low gambling-which we
are Bound to correct. We do wage un-
rclenting war On this system of evils,
and by agitation, discussion, and, if
need be, going direct to the producer.
We intend to work reform. We wage
no war on the manufacturer: The pro-
per duties of manufacturer
lead him to depend on the farmer. We
would take lessons from the most sue
cessful of the class. If paper making
is dull. the price Of paper does not fall,
but an organization, posted on the pro-
duction and consumption, controls the
supply. Suppose the farmers, three
years ago, had known how much tobac-
co was growing. The next year. there
would have been but half the crop, and
double the price-more money and
more comfort.
At the afternoon resumption, Mr..
Thaddeus Graves of Hatfield, a LAWYER
farmer, took up the morning theme and
declared the grange social institution.
whose banner inscription was 'sOpposi.
ton to imposition" An organization
for developing the farmer, and putting
down wrong is what is, he claimed most
needed.
