formed by many members Of Congress, and
the failure to apply to the President, is gross
fraud upon the public, and nothing short Of
an unqualified repeal will Salty the demands
Of the people.
Ninth-fhat we deny the alleged necessity
Of State Printer and Binder, or any party

county, be let by contract to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder.
Tenh-That the election of over sixty men,
members of the General Assembly, with an
incomplete organization, is complete demon
stration of the justice of our cause, and q
promise of its early triumph in the State and
nation.
Elerenth-That in the Tammany steal, the
Credit MobiIer, the Congressional salary
swindle. and official entertainments, and the
hundreds of other combinations, steals, frauds,
and swindles by which the Democratic and
Republican legislators, Congressman, and
oficeholders have enriched themselves, de-
frauded the country, and impoverished the
people, we find the necessity Of independent
action and the Importance Of united effort,
and cordially invite all men, of whatever call
ing, business, trade, or vocation, regardless Of
past political views, to join us in removing
the evils that 80 seriously affect us all.
THE PATRONS IN MUscATINE COUNTY.
A letter from Muscatine says: CAS-
the farmers movement in this State
started from this place, and we have
generally tried to keep up to the spirit
of the age, our present position is
pretty well in advance of most other
points. The grange movement is well
supported in this county, and carried
forward with good deal of spirit. We
have, / believe, three cooperative stores
in this county, all doing well, and talk
of starting others. We have organized
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, and are organizing an Agricul-
tural- Implement Mandatory with 8
capital of $4,000. The Patrons are
gaining ground all the time. Many
that held back at first are now coming
into the Grange. We hold good many
open oranges, which are generally very
well attended; and, as the aims and OBJ
jects of the Patrons are laid before the
public, they learn that it is common
interest, and readily fall into the move
ment. Our greatest need is a good
class of papers to advocate our cause,
as most of the local press do not look on
the movement with much favor, as they
are fearful of losing the advertising
patronage, or are hired tools of the
Government. Papers of an independ-
ment character are what We need, and
should be more generally patronized. +"

"Now, BYs ST. PAUL, THE WORK GOES BRAVE
LY ON.
Extract from q letter to the Western
Rural from Watertown. Mich:
One thing which the masses of the
people have long. stood in need of is
emancipation. / mean emancipation
from the thraldom of party and L now
have a strong hope that it is coming.
The Patrons of Hubandry are taking
root and gaining strength on every hand
and of them it may be said in the lam
guage of Shakespeare,
Hang out our banners on the outward walls,
The cry is, " Still they come"
We have no oranges In this vicinity
as yet, but we can view the movement
In the distance and exclaim-
Now, by Saint Paul, the work goes bravely on.
Let the farmers be united and har-
monious. Let them conquer that jeal-
ousy which they have so long cherished
for one another. Let them feel and
know that their unity of interests de-
mands unity of action. When they
commence breaking the idols, let them
not smite one and spare another-but,
if railroad monopolies are to come
down, let tariff monopolies and manu-
featuring combinations share the same
fate.
Nor should they stop here. They
should neither give sleep to their eyes
nor slumber to their eyeids until they
have cleansed the Augean Stables of oul
national capital, and every Mobilier mar
and salary stealer has shared the fate
of Tweed. Let the rulers of the people
be made to understand that they cam
pull the wool over the eyes of the farm
ers the ninety-ninth time, and have i
all hushed up and overlooked for thu
sake of tour party" Let them know
that honesty and integrity, though
dressed in homespun, will be appre
ciated In high places as well as low
Let parents teach their children, an,
priests their congregations the truth o
that old-fashioned motto, =" An homes
mans the noblest work of God"
