Mr. Editor:

the Southern Minnesota r. r. Co. was
the first to adopt the Legislative rates
on freight and passengers,
The fact is the S. NJ. r. r. Co. arc
paying no attention 10 1t ,chatsrsr.
About a month age they sent the agent
here q new tariff rate; but the very
next day they told him to charge the
old rates. and he has done so ever
since. Yours respectfully, E.

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 gratitied 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 which can only be
reached through iegisIation.--It seems IN
pERArIvE that such questions should BIZ dis
cussed tn tie Grunge Shall it be said that
such questions were political in the meaning
of the Constitution The questions OF
TRANSPORTATION, TAXATION. FINANCE, COR
RUPrIoN IN PUBLIC PLACES, rere such as come
home to the conseisnccs and pockets of our
members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege of can
vassing them on the ground of politics"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied as follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
"We emphatically and sincerely assert the
oft repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dinate, is not political or party organize
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.
etthe PRINCIPLES VIZ TEACH CNDERLIE ALL
TRUE POLITICS, ALL True STATESMAN SHIP, 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 no one,
by becoming a Patron of Husbandry, gives
up that inalienable right and duty which be-
longs to every American citizen. to take a
proper interest IN the politics cf his country
I'VE propose meeting together, TALKING
TOGETHER, and generally ACTING TOGETH-
Err, for our mutual protection and advance
ment"
s'We are opposed to any such spirit and
management Of any corporation or enter
prise as tend to Cypress the people and rob
them of their just profits.
eve are opposed to excessive salaries and
high rates of interest"

Market gepurts,

st. Paul Produce Market, Sept. 22.
The general state of the market re-
mains without material change, the
supply of leading articles continuing
small, demand large, and prices firm
with an upward tendency.
In wheat there is really no movement,
farmers continuing to hold back in
hopes Of better prices, which seems to
be as far distant to-day as when the de-
cline first took place. No change in
quotations to note. Other coarse grain
firm at previous quotations, with sup
ply far below the demand.
For -four the same general remarks
will answer. Corn meal, ground feed,
bran and shorts no change to note.
Rye -four scarce with an active demand,
at $3.50 to S2.75 per hundred.
The trade in provisions sustains pre-
vious comments and quotations, the in
dications of an upward tendency for
governing articles being maintained.
The only change in rotations is in
hams, which we quote at Is to Is IL
cents, and clear sides II cents, an ad-
vance in both cases of half cent.
Eggs continue very scarce, much be-
low the demand, and find ready mar
ket at Is cents for fresh.
The market continues we'll supplied
with fresh fruits. Quotations obtained
from B. Presley & Co. are: Apples
$500 to $3.50 per bbl.; California
pears, 81 to IS per box; Illinois do 81
to $50; peaches 81 to $l.50; grapes,
Concord 8 to Sc per h., Delaware 10 to
IL lie, and Catawba 10 to IL l-2c ;
California ounces, SIS per box; Califor-
MIA grapes, 90 to Csc per lb.
OF game the market is in only mode
rate supply, with a good demand and
prices we'll maintained. We quote
prairie chickens, scarce, at So to a2.25
per dozen tame chickens, IS to 4Oc
piece by coop; cartridges, $3.50 to
So per dozen ducks, $3.50 to $3.50 /,
qsails, scarce, good demand, at $3.50
| to So.
While in this subject, we again call
! attention to the fact that a city ordi-
nance pr ohibits the marketing Of game,
| unless drawn. and makes the receiver
of the goods equally liable for violation
| with she shipper. Commission dealers
complain that many shippers fail to
comply with this requirement.
The vegetable market continues in
good supply, prices generally ruling

We would advise our friends to build
granaries on their own land and store
their own wheat and insure it. This
plan has several advantages first,
they save storage; secondly, they avoid
the risk of the warehous eman failing;
thirdly, they will not be compelled to
sell on the first of June, but can hold
over until after the next harvest if nee
essary; and thus take advantage of
possible failure of the crop next year.
One thing is certain, if the farmers
persist in not selling this year they will
smash the spectators who have been
trying to make money by ''bearing'
the price Of wheat. They are now ad
vising the farmers, through nearly ali
the newspapers, to sell at Once.
Let US see how the highest price Of
No. | wheat in September has compared
with the highest price in May during
twelve years, IN the Milwaukee market:

THE WHEAT QUESTION.

'sTo sell or net to sell, that is the.
question.
The spectators are becoming bewil-
dercd. One of the Milwaukee circulars
says:
Our market has been extremely dull The
shipping demand has necessarily been very
limited and spectators have kept aloof.
The check to the move in the interior is
something new and they do not know what
to make of it, or how to calculate the effect
and force of it. We do not hesitate 10 re-
affirm our conviction expressed two weeks
ago, that 1rhen farmers get used to present
legitimate, they will sell at least sufficient
to pay their debts.

No Coampro1mfso.

There can be no compromise at
Tins juncture, no yielding q priH-
|ciple to any interest. We cannot
afford to recognize in any way
even the shadow Of d right on the
part Of the Castomhouse to me-
gotiate any terms.
We publish The Kellogg usurpa-
ton to the world as fraud aud d
lie, and demand its absolute re-
tirement as the only solution IF
our difficulties.
We have proven to The world
that this usurping government of
Kellogg cannot exist for one mo-
ment without the support Of Fed
eral bayonets. We have appealed
to the ballot-boz only to be de-
frauded Of its results, and having
been charged with admitting that
Kellogg was supported by the
people. We have appealed to
arms, and demonstrated that his
government cannot support itself.
We swept it away at single blow,
but the Federal power has re-
stored it.
We have nothing left, save the
glorious half-tealful recollection
Of the two sunshiny days that
mark an oasis in the desert Of sor-
rowful years that have come to
Louisiana since The war. But We
have not losthope. We have been
deprived Of the substantial results
of our victory BY the strong arm
of,the National Government, but
We have faith in the great heart
1t the American people, and we
appeal to their patriotism; to their
devotion to liberty; and to their
sense Of right and justice for such
action as will aid as in our dire
extremity.
We are loyal to the United
Statets Government, We claim
to be as peaceable and law-ahid-
ing as any other community.
And in support Of these assertions
we point with pride to the late
revolution, which has no parallel
in history.
The spectacle of a great people
rising in their might and over
throwing q usurping and iniqui-
tous government, without single
act Of lawlessness to mar the gran
deur of the act, is one not afforded
to every generation, and in itself
furnishes the strongest comment
airy on the partizan act OF the Ma
tional Executive in ordering almost
the entire army into peaceful
State for the purpose of complet-
ing the overthrow of its people in
the interests of his own political
ambition. The plea of disloyalCy
is disposed of by the quiet sur
render to the United States Gov
eminent Of the legitimate and du-
~ elected officers of the State at
a time when they were in the full
possession and execution of their
prerogatives and when no other
organized governments or claimant
was on the soil of the State.
We repeat, we cannot com
pound with fraud and yilIiany and
retain our own self respect, much
less the respect of orr fellow-ooun-
trymen, who, watching the grand
struggle il Louisiana with DO or
binary concern, but as men hav-
ing a personal interest in the re-
suit. III we weakly yield to the
alluring promises of the base mon
who have trampled upon MS and
attempted to strangle free govern
ment in this State, we become our
selves, parties to great crime
against civil liberty and in reality
assist in forging chains for our fu-
ture enthrallment,
