What Changers Think of Temperance.

ESTEEMED AND WORTHY CHRISTIAN La
D1Es.-ln accordance with your kind re-
quest OF this afternoon, that |, as a repre-
sentative Of the well-known secret order
known as the Patrons Of Husbandry, give
to you as near as l can the views and prin-
ciples of that Order on the vital and absorb
ing question of temperance, I am truly
happy to inform you that our Order as
body is strongly in favor of temperance. I
have never yet heard the bylaws of any
subordinate Grange had made for their gov
ernment but what had a we'll worded section
on the question Of temperance To-day we
are holding up hundreds Of wayward broth
ers whose wives are made the happiest of
any that meets in our social halls to dis
seminate knowledge and good will amongst
men.
You, christian sisters, like our order,
have no object in view but the good of all,
to relieve ourselves Of this great financial.
moral and physical burden and monster.
that only embraces but to Destroy How
beautiful is the contrast between your acts
| and that Of legislators and judges, who
have disgraced position and power by vas
cillating between all the points of legal
rights, humanity, honor, preierment, and
gain who only had courage enough to do
| wrong, and not enough to do right.
We as an Order desire that places of pre-
ferment and power be given only to those
who dare to do right and bless humanity,
regardless Of the censure or the plaudits of
those around. We do not claim that our Or
der is a radical temperance organization,
but we do claim that it is great school Of
temperance, and whilst we prepare the
soil, we ask fair hands to scatter the seed
that coming generations may reap the gold
en- harvest and call you blessed. Hoping
the God of peace and love, will guide, pro-
tect, and strengthen you, and give you COM
plete victory is our most ardent DESIRE

HOW TO ORGANIZE A GRANGE.
Circular Issued by the Executive Com.
mittee OF the Indiana State Grange
Of the Patrons Of Husbandry, March
1St. 1873.

For the information of those who desire
to organize Oranges Of the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry, we give short accaunt Of the
steps to be taken and the expense required.
In the first place any number Of persons
engaged in agricultural pursuits, not less
than nine men and four women, nor more
than twenty men and ten women can form a
Grange. These are charter members.
The men pay three dollars each and the
women fifty cents each. After the Charter
is filed, the initiation fee will be five dol
lars for men and two dollars for women
Of the money collected from the charter
members, there are sent to the National
Grange, at Washington, fifteen dollars
for the dispensation and necessary papers
and books.
Deputies are allowed travelling expenses
service actually necessary for the work
All over this expense is the property Of
Grange organized.
After the charter is full, there is sent to
the State Grange one dollar for each man,
and fifty cents for each woman initiated in
the four degrees. None of this goes to the
National Grange. A monthly due of ten
cents is collected from each member, and
six cents Of this are sent to the State
Grange each quarter or twenty four cents
annually for each member. The Treasurer
of each State Grange sends to the National
Grange, in quarterly installments, the an
nual due Of ten cents for each member in
his State.
Those desising to form Oranges should
sign paper requesting that Deputy be
sent for that purpose, and forward the
same to the General Deputy.
For further information, relative to Or
ganizing subordinate Oranges,

Politics and The Oranges.
From the Milwaukee News

From the Milwaukee News
The reading Of the platform of the Nation
al Changers seems to have inspired the
radical press with the pleasant conviction
that that important body of our fellow citi-
zens is not going Immediately over to the
democracy. We observe at the same time,
by perusing our democratic exchanges, that
they are equally jubilant with the convic-
tion that it is not at once going over to the
radicals. We are very sure both of these
convictions are well founded, and each par
ty is entitled to whatever Of satisfaction be-
longs to the fact. 1t is probably more of a
question who is going over to them, than
who they are going to. The thoughtful
politician has no difficulty in perceiving
that old thing are passing away, and things
in politics are becoming new. For a new
organization aimed at grievances which
have grown and gathered strength from
being rooted in both the old parties, to at
tach itself to either, is to simply water and
cultivate the soil in which it's grievances
grow. To 60 to either would be like cele-
brating birth by going to funeral.

i. The estimate Of the amount Of wheat; that
would be carried over the road when built
vary from one to four million bushels.
Allowing that one and a-half million BUSH
els of wheat were carried over the road
East the first year and half that
amount in tons Of freight was carried the
other way, at the above rates the annual
net profit would be $81 200 from freights
alone, or over 10 40 per cent. on the esti-
mated cost Of the road, and over 10 per cent.
on $780, 900, supposing the road to cost
that amount.
The Grange advance., 1874-03-11

The equipment here estimated for, would
be sufficient to run one freight and one
passenger train each way daily, and if
there were no grades over 40 feet per mile
going East would take to the river over 9, 600
bushels of wheat day. And allowing that
one half as much freight were carried the
other way. it would carry over the road
III, 500 tons annually, running three hun
dred days.
At four cents per ton per mile. which is
considerably less than the average charge
for freights on the Minnesota roads, and is
equivalent to carryinga bushel Of wheat
from Fsribault to the Mississippi river for
about Al cents and allowing the operat-
ing expenses TO be 60per cent. e very high
estimate should not ,be over 50 per cent?
the net profit for the year would be $l86, ,08O.
