The Grange advance., 1874-01-21

We learn from the Faribault Republican
that at meeting Of the Faribault Board Of
Trade, held on the 18th instant, q commit
tee Of three members Of the Council Of
Patrons of Husbandry, namely, Messrs. G..
W. Tower, O. F. Brand and G. G Fox, ap-
peared as deputies for the purpose of as
certaining what action the Board were
prepared to take in the. matter Of the
establishment of joint stock enterprise
for manufacturing purposes. " s54.z
The Board Of Trade adopted . resolution
favoring the organization Of . stock com
pany Of $4,000; and q committee was ap-
pointed to take active steps in conjunction
with the Patrons for securing subscriptions.
This is right Let the country and cities
strike hands in building up home manu-
factories. 1t is the salvation of the West.
Let the mechanics and the farmers unite
their capital for this purpose. Thus will
the farmers find home markets for their pro-
ducts, the mechanics work for their sup
port, freights will be saved, the necessity Of
all shippers. agents and dealers done away,
the farmers will deal directly with the
manufacturers and know what they are
getting. Business centers will be built,
the wealth Of the State will be increased,
farms will rise in value and farming be
made more profitable.
We join heartily with the editor of the
paper named. in saying: 'We regard this
movement as very important and trust that
it may be actively pushed. We believe
that farm machinery can be successfully
manufactured here. and thus many thous-
ands of dollars saved, and placed in circu-
lation at home that are now sent out of the
State" We hope to see the time not many
years hence, when Minnesota shall not ship
bushel Of wheat without grinding, nor
import an agricultural machine from with
out the State. but will grind her own wheat
and make her own machinery.

less piggish atss.sl AS Josh Billinss
says !. s. Averice eats up every other quali-
u Of the harte, good, bad and Indifferent, .
and these men, BY the resction apon them
selves Of the bad influence which their own
grasping sei6shness exerts upon the COM
munity, receive their reward.
But how different the influence upon
community and upon the man himself who
uses his money for the mental and mora,
elevation, and intellectual gratifcation Of
himself and neighbors. This library WAS
started in 1866, when Rochester had neither
the wealth nor numbers that she now has,
and the good books then purchased have
been exerting their good influence upon the
community, and cheering many weary
minds ever since. . zsz.t.. ..-. O.. .ss .
The funds for the purchase of books
were made up by the sale Of life member
ships at fifty dollars each Memberships
at ten dollars, with payment yearly Of
three dollars. The leading business men Of
the place took from two to three life member
ships each, J. D. Blake taking ten, and quite
anumber more joined as members 1t ten DEL
lars each. In this manner about two thous-
and dollars were raised to start with, and
the Association were able to and did buy Tho
very best books Of the best. authors, moth
ing trashy, dull or prosy finding its way
into the library. Beginning with library
of standard works, people were willing to
pay fair yearly fee to have access to these
valuable and interesting books, and thus
the library has been sustained while others
started on less liberal plan have gone
down. We are glad to see that the Asso-
citation has asked the Oranges to unite in
building up the library and We hope that
the Oranges will accept the invitation and
build up at Rochester library which will
be an honor to the State, and which shall
reach with its influence to every home in
Olmsted County But while we say this
for the Rochester Library, we would not
forget to put in plea for an equally good
library for every County in the State, with
branches in every Grange. Already have
Oranges commenced to move in this matter,
and let every Grange see to it, that it is
not behind the others, and let not the towns
and cities be behind the country.

the State Grange by one resolution declared

Will it state in plain positive language

State Grange. f..
If not, will it have the candor to acknowl-

its readers on that subject.
If it has not got the manhood to do that,
will it pub ish the resolution abolishing

make the Union the official organ, which
was tabled by an almost unanimous vote.

would say to Patrons everywhere that if

drop it, scorn it, purge your household of
