The Duty OF Farmers.
Editor Aduance =:

AttStOT d%OuNCG.
Almost every farmer will express hiu-
self as being conscious that be has
duties to perform in the present strug-
gle Of labor against capital, politicians
and monopolies Of all kinds
Nine-tenths Of the farmers Of Min
nesota would to-day stand resolutely aud
nlautully for their rights, were it not
for the interference Of professed friends,
who are laboring day and night to keep
the masses in the same old political rut,
although it be filled with the mire and
slush that has been gathering for
years.
How oily the tongue, and how nicely
slips the pen Of the men who have
grown rich at the expense Of labor. It
is struggle for their bread and butter,
a desperate effort that they are making
to add i few more thousands to their
already ill-gotteu gains; never satisfied,
never contented. Farmers realize this
and feel the necessity Of making an ef-
fort to save themselves aud save their
country; when corruption is fostering
in high places. and our entire country
innoculated with theft, bribery, intrigue,
and death struggle for place and
power by men who are a stencil in the
nostrils of all honest men, is it strange
that the lockers on, the men that bear
the burdens, the bed rock Of the pa-
tion, should say "thus far shalt thou 20
and no farther.' All the interest that
the whole spawn Of politicians who are
seeking place have in the welfare of
labor, either agricultural or mechanical,
you could put in four ounce vial and
then have plenty Of room for four
ounces more; their interest is perfectly
selfish, be they the largest frog in the
puddle or the merest pollywog that pro-
pels itself with its Shiny tail.
Never was time more propitious than
now for the farmer, mechanic and la
boring man to throw off party shackles
and show an undivided aud unbroken
front to their enemies, come they in
whatever guise they may. We cannot
strike too quick eve hold the lines,
why not driver" Should any of US
see highwayman approaching US with
bludgeon upraised and pistol cooked, I
don't think We should stop to parley
with such being, but would strike the
monster dead if in our power. Now,
this is precisely our situation, and as
Gen. Booth, now u s. Senator from
California, expressed it boldly and
graphically, "There is an iron finger on
every industrial pulse of our country,
an iron hand on every throat, moved
by an iron will.'
Let labor unite and rid itself of this
evil, stand in its own strength and show
to the world "where there is a will
there is way Speaking Of that
noble man, Newton Booth, Of Califor-
MIA, who fought and won for labor aud
reform, leads me to suggest that he is
the coming ,nau, aud probably the next
President of a redee med country.

The R. RS Of the country earned
over $527, 100000 in 1873, an increase
Of nearly $60,000,0o0 over 1872.
Over 1887 100000 were received for
freight in 1873, and $l39 ,448,533 for
passengers. It will thus be seen nearly
three times as much was received for
freight as for passengers.

Who ever heard of an editor at dim

The leveling farmers in the principal
wheat point in the St. Croix valley, says
the Hudson Star and Times, are to have
warehouse of their own at Hammond,
and buy, store, and ship for themselves,
and so demonstrate by their own expe-
rience whether heretofore they have
been treated fairly or not If the Ham,
mond enterprise proves successful. SINH
lar ones will be inaugurated elsewhere,
until the farmers will have the hand
ling as we'll as the raising Of the wheat
crop.
The Register of Whitewater says
there is no use denying the fact, crops
are being seriously injured in that vi
cinity by chinch bugs. Good farmers
seem to agree that the yield of wheat
and barley will not he more than half
that of last year. The hot weather of
course is responsible for part Of the
damage, but the bugs have not been
worse in twelve years.
The past week has been one of ex-
cessive heat ; yesterday July 25th, the

This morning: July 26th, we were
suddenly aroused from our virtuous
slumber by the "put in" Of a fearful
wind storm it seemed for while as
though the elements would prevail
against us, but we stuck to our " roost,"
consoling ourselves with the assurance
that we were here first. and held a war;
ranty indemniication to that effect, and
if old Boreas wanted to try titles we
would refer him to the legal head of
The GRANGE ADVANCE. But after
scattering things generally, and doing
considerable damage to fields and stacks,
it withdrew in good order, leaving US to
contemplate over the frailty Of human
expectations.
The smile that covers the face Of

The farmers have concluded, however
that Alex Mitchell and the St. Paul R.
R., cant foist this parasite upon them
for support, l. e., if there is efficacy in
Paris green as a remedial agent.
Perhaps what would kill a "potato
bug" wouldn't kill this Ne,os ':bug'' -
If it should fail however we imagine the
decision Of the next Court will kill it's
business, and then some kind friend
will have the chance Of spreading them
selves on an obituary.
The Sparta Herald, of the 18th,
learns that on Saturday night, July
11th, there was frost on the cranber-
ries north Of Tomah. sufficiently severe
to destroy the growing berries. Sever
al owners of large marshes have suffer-
ed severely in consequence. We would
like to know wherethat frost was made ;
we haven Inexperienced any thing cooler
than an oid-fashioned bake oven for the
last six weeks. There must be some ex-
clusiveness in this business. The peo-
pie of Tomah will confer great favor
upon this community by distribution
of some of their :: coolness."
We are glad to acknowledge the i'm.
proved condition of the ADVANCE,
both in personal appearance and read
ing matter. We know that it will con-
tinue, as its name implies, in growth
and development of the cause it has es-
poused. We are also more than glad
to welcome Bro. E. j. H. back again
upon its editorial staff; we know some.

with him the "laborer is worthy Of his

were thin and the pay was poor.

Girls who shirk all of the housework,
making drudgcs of their mothers rath-
er than soil their dainty, white hands,
need not expect to be loved by those
who know it. The callous places, and
other signs of labor would be far more
to their credit. The best hand in the
world is an honest hand, be it hard or
soft, white or brown, smooth or rough,
angular or shapely. An honest palm
that takes the hand of friend with a
warm, hearty grasp, as if there was
nothing in the heart to conceal, only
warmth and kindness toward all. This
is the best and most beautiful hand in
the world"

The Propagateur.

Our venerable contemporary, the Propa
gafeur, is entering upon a new phase of it.
honorable existence. For over thirty years
the weight of it's pecuniary management
has fallen upon the shoulders of our Mos
Rev. Archbishop, and no v that the burdens
of his episcopacy are augmenting aud
pressing upon him, he naturally desires to
divest himself as much as possible of the
embarrassments of business.
1t has, therefore, been concluded to con.
duct the paper hereafter on the principle
! of joint stock company, pretty much on
the plan of the MORNING STAR, and we
hear with great pleasure that the proposition
has met thus far with the greatest encour-
agement. Of five hundred shares into which
the stock has been divided, one hundred
and five were taken at the first meeting
Many of the clergy, even of the city, were
not present, and when not only they but all
the Rev. Clergy of the country shall have
been heard from, an immense increase of
the stockholders list is naturally antici-
pated.
When we consider the immense popula-
ton in Louisiana who read nothing but
French, every Catholic must ardently hope
that 80 important an auxiliary of the clergy,
as Catholic journal in that language, will
not be allowed to be wanting. The battle
of the world and the Devil against the
Church, is carried on principally, now,
as it always has been, by the free use of
lies. Since the adoption of the press, lies
find their easiest circulation through it's
columns, and through it's columns must be
their most effectual exposure.
AS matter of sentiment, too, the pros
Perity of the Propagateur must be matter
of lively interest to all who have witnessed
the ability, courage and persistence of it's
course. 1t has had difficult population
and difficult questions to deal with, before
which any ten ordinary papers would have
succumbed long ago. But the spirit of

Here lie "sarkazzum" for you. That allu-
sion to "profound philosophy and the
minor vices The minor vices specially
champagne and Irish whisky punches, I'd,
games of chance, and Sd, the blandish
ments of young ladies. To commence
with the last, what will the colored lady
friends of the Republican think of having
female Establishments ranked as a vice
There are great many respectable and
worthy colored ladies in this city and
though we are far from CHASING them as
personal friends of the Republic3n, yet they
probably sometimes see that paper, and
we leave it's editor to their mercy.
"Games of chance" is phrase of wide
significance and is utterly inapplicable to
fairs except SO far as regards raffies, which
have not much of the element of fascina-
ton about them. The Republican man
two-bit chance in doll, but such reckless
Eess is not contagious. We think that if he
had been selected as god father for the big
doll at the fair in question, instead of
" Roundabout" there would have been
none of this fuss.
Finally, champagne and Irish whisky
punch. By what reasoning can it be proved
that it is vicious to take glass of cham
payne or few sips of punchf The abuse
of these things is vice, and if the Repub-
lican man can't drink in moderation, why
of course he does well to keep away from
respectable places. But he m ust emember
it is not every body that drinks like a fish.

New Orleans Homestead Association,

we know OF no better institution in which O
poor man can procure the same advantages
ana this we write unhesitatingly. 1t enables
persons of very limited means to become the
Possesso1s of their own homes, by advancing
them the money to effect the purchase. This
loan they pay back in small weekly install
ments. To illustrate should q person SUBJ
scribe for five shares of stock, which number
OF shares amounts to $1,000, he will make a first
payment of 81 30 at the time of subscribing,
and every week after he will pay 81 25 Now,
whenever he feels SO disposed, he can borrow
$1,000, no matter how small the amount of
money paid in by these weekly instalments of
u %. All he has to do is to be present at a
meeting when this money is offered-which
event occurs every two weeks. Those desiring
the loan, offer premium for the privilege of
securing 1t. He who offers the highest pre-
mum gets the money. When the loan has
been effected, besides the weekly instalment
OF 81 2o he pays weekly a portion of the in
terest on $1,000 at per cent per annum, which
weekly portion amounts to 81 54-thus
making total payment weekly, after having
borrowed $1,000, of 50 20. We have stated
facts and figures, leaving every sensible
person to act accordingly. The Office of the
Association is 1l6 Poydras street, where the
Secretary may be seen daily from 9 to and
from to 8.

The American Pilqrimaqe.

We call attention to the fact that the
amount hitherto collected towards sending
representative of New Orleans Catholics
on the American Pilgrimage amounts to
only $472, whereas it is calculated that 5000
will be necessary. There is yet a week to
elapse before the gentleman selected ought
to start, and we submit to our readers
whether it would not be for their own good
to make up the deficit.
Certainly no Catholic can deny that
among the countless variety of devotions
in usage among the faithful and blessed by
the Church, there is scarcely one that
equals the pilgrimage in piety and the
amount of sacrifice involved. No true
Catholic would hesitate to make one of
these solemn visits to a celebrated sLrinea
if it were reasonably within his power to
do so. But for nearly all of US in America
the difficulties in it's way are insuperable.
We cannot 60.
But can we not send some one as our
representative, and thus go by proxy7 If
We contribute of our means to create a
pilgrimage or add member to it's ranks.
is not that participating in the work, not
only in spirit but outwardly and actively
There can be no doubt of it, and if we
want to convince ourselves that we would
actually make the sacrifice and 60 in per-
son if we could, let US make a much
smaller sacrifice now by giving a few
dimes or dollars towards its accomplish
ment, and thus share in the blessings of the |
work |
