Editors Of The Grange Advoncc:
In one Of your issues, [ see that a
friend in Stanton, in this county, takes
exceptions to my views of the fence
question, and sets out by calling it class
legislation. We hear a great deal
of that kind Of legislation now DAYS,
and if my friend thinks no legislation
at all to be that kind, why then per.
haps he can make it appear that I
stand up for such legislation. The
Grand Master Of the Universe left this
matter about right, and in the absence
Of any legislation every man takes care
OF all that is his own, whether it be
stock or something else. - ;: o..
Friend G. says this is all right.
What is it to take care of his own
stock? Is to feed them in winter from
your own supply Of food: and let them
run on your neighbor's in summer, un.
less he will help to fence them in =?
Why not ask him to help you build
your barn, or to furnish half the feed
to keep your stock through the winter ?
He says that every one wants to keep
stock. This is a mistake, and if it were
the case, tits not likely that all would keep
the same number. If wish to keen
three COWS and friend G.. has farm
where it will pay to keep one hundred
| say to G. Il will fence my own stock,
you fence yours and all be right. 1
Will take care of myself without any
law. But" says G. e want law
to make you put your share of line
fence between US, because raise stock
only ask you to make one-half Of the
fence and this is fair Ireply, that
II can raise grain without any fence or
law either, if you will take care of your
stock" Now where does this class leg.
is!ation come in? Is it not that which
works against the class who would raise
grain and in favor of those who would
raise stock? Now I think that friend
G issa Granger and we all want to fight
class legislation, Of which we have all
had great deal too much ID times past J
But first, let. us adopt David Croeket,s
motto, !" Be sure you are right and
then then go ahead and give them goudy.'

1t seems by the letter of Brother Nero Of

adopted rule in that State that person
must join the Grange nearest,to him or re- :.
main out in the cold He goes on and gives.
his, experience with certain rogue whv
tnat rule should not be adopted and enforc-
ed in every Grange. Brother Nero must
nave had the misfortune of losing one Of
MS eyes for he has only given us a one side
view OF the question. Twill ask Brother
Nero as he is Deputy when he goes out to
organize Grange if he asks any question
concerning the character of the candidates
about to be organized as charter members. =.
If not how does ne know but what he has
organized set ofrascals whose character
Is as impure as satan himself. = ~ s'

According to Brother Mero's ruling, all

The Receipt BY which ne has Preserved His
Youth.

Measured by Che achievements Of the
years | have seen, am one of the oldest
men who have ever lived; but do not
feel old, and propose to give the receipt
by which l have preserved my youth.
have always given a friendly welcome to
new ideas, and | have endeavored not to
feel too old to learn-aud thus, though l
stand here with the SHOWS of so many
Winters upon my head, my faith in hu-
man nature, my belief in the progress of
man to better social condition, and es-
pecially my trust in the ability of men to
establish and maintain seli.governmeut,
are as fresh and as young as when l be
gan TO travel the path of life. While |
have always recognized that the object of
business is to make money in an honor
able manner | have endeavored TO re-
member that the object of life is to do
good. Hence have been ready to en-
gage in all new enterprises, and, without
mourning debt, 10 risk the means which
had acquired in their promotion, provided
they seemed TO me calculated to advance
the general good. This will account for
my early attempt TO perfect the steam en-
CINE, for my early attempt to construct
the first American locomotive, for my con-
nection with the telegraph in a course of
efforts to unite our country with the Eu-
ropean world, and Tor my recent efforts
to solve the problem of economical steam
navigation on the canals; to all of which
you have so kindly referred. 1t happens
TO but few men 10 change the current of
human progress as it did to Watt, to Full
ton, to Stephenson, and to Morse; but
most men may be ready to welcome Ia
borers to a new field of usefulness, and to
clear the road for their progress.
This have tried to do, as well in the
perfecting and execution of their ideas as
in making such provisions as my means
have permitted for the proper education
of the young mechanics and citizens of
my native city, in order TO fit them for
the reception of new ideas, social, me
chanical, and scientific, hoping thus to
economic and expand the intellectual as
well as the physical forces, and provide a
larger fund for distribution among the
various classes which necessarily make up
the total of society. l feel that nature
has provided beautifully for the wants of
all men, and that we need only knowledge,
scientific, political, and religious, and self
control, in order to eradicate the evils I'M
der which society has suffered in all ages
Let me say, then, in conclusion, that my
experience of life has not dimmed my
hopes for humanity; that my sun is not
setting in clouds and darkness, but is GO
ing down cheerfully in clear armament,
lighted up by the glory of God, who
should always be venerated and loved as
the infinite source and fountain of all
light, life, power, wisdom and goodness.

Review of the American Whale
Fishery for 1873.

We lay before our readers to-day our
Thirtieth Annual Review Of the Whale
fishery Of the United States.
The opening paragraph Of our last
years review might be copied and would
be equally appropriate in commencing
our present. for 1t has been year start
ing with small feet. steadily reducing
through the year by sales and losses of
vessels. with moderate catches, meagre
net results, no change Of purpose to sell
whalers now here, and no new signs OF
encouragement in the business. A prop
osition for the sale OF & whaler is more
tempting than proposal TO fit one. OF
the 10 whalers in the port of New Bed
ford, January LIST, 1873, I were sold, fit
ted for whaling, and 10 still remain in
port; of the at New London, January
LIST, 1873, ! has been sold and broken up,
and the remaining 6 are for sale. OF the
II whalers now in this port that arrived
in 1873, are for sale; and Of the 81
whalers now wintering here, not over :
are likely TO be fitted. OF 40 whalerS to
arrive in 1874. probably about so viii be
sent to sea again.
The striking features in the business
have been the steadiness Of prices during
the year except during the panic, the ab-
seuce Of many good catches Of oil in
Sperm and Arctic whaling, the good sue
cess in Humpbacking in Panama Bay and
Coast Of Africa, the loss Of whalers in
Hudson's Bay and Cumberland Inlet, and
immunity from disaster in the Arctic
Ocean, not q ship being lest or seriously
damaged.
Our present fleet Is III against eos 4
year ago. els in 1872, and ass in 1871.
The Is per cent reduction which has been
going on for three years, and which 4
year ago we veutured to think would re,
heve Us Of an anxiety to further sell, has
not been realized; for Of the 81 whalers
at home. we now want to sell % at least,
which Is still another Is per cent. discount
we would make on our feet, and unless
we get better catches and better results
in 1874 than in 1873, we can now safely
apply for another reduction in 1875 OF
nearly Is per cent The 50 whalers with
drawn, sc, represented 6,el2 tons and
the one schooner added at Provincetown
was liz tons.
The feet at sea January LIST, 1874. was
I2S vessels against l55 year ago.
