PATRONS AND POLITICS.

Of course tho grangers must come ia for
their share Of abuse from the party who are
so sore-headed over an ignominious defeat,
and last week the Montpelier Journal
sent its broadside after them, after the fol-
lowing fashion
It is said by those who profess to know,
that this result, us well rs some others of
like Kind, was brought about by the presence
Of that unknown quantity, tho granger ele-
ment. But OF this there IN no credible proof
IL 1t Is so, the granger has shown himself
equal to ways that are dark, to policies that
are peculiar, and to results over which only
ignorance and folly can boast. And here
we may rs well bear our testimony against
the granger ms not. We may respect him
us man, hut we dislike and condemn him
us II granger, bringing to bear II secret or
ganizltion and class feeling upon the poll
ties of the state. France has gone To pOliti-
cHl pcrtlitiOn, and moral and social perd-
ton, too, because of the action on her
civil affairs of secret political associations.
Such societies, organized to net upon public
interests aud political affairs, are absolutely
fatal to tho very idea of civil aud religious
liberty. We do not care by what name they
are called, or for what ends they arc profess
sedly established; whether moral, social,
commercial, political or religious; il they
are used to combine men secretly IN the
dark and in the mass, on questions OF pub
lie policy, in town and state elections, they
deserve the cxecration of every honest lover
of civil and religious freedom. There is rs
much proprlety, nbstrnctly, In the ku-Klux
rs in the Good Templar, OF the granger, rs
u secret association, designed to mass mon
for political action. II tho grlng-
ors did this thing in the second district then
the less Vermont has of the granger the bet
tor 1t will be for us and for our children. II
the granger celebrates his political advent
by aiding the foul treachery of profUssot
political friends, he had better never have
been born.
We do not blame the Journal, and Other
Poland papers, for wanting to make a
scapegoat Of somebody, but we imagine they
gain no strength by abusing the Patrons O
Husbandry, especially as that order is NJ
more responsible for the defeat Of POLAND
than the Free Masons or the Mohammcdans
A good many Patrons voted for Poland
some for Davenport, and some for Dcnisol
and others, as they had right to do th'
grange, as body, had nothing to do will
the way members voted.

WOOL MARKET.
While there has been no great pressure to
| buy on the part of manufacturers, holders
| ARE very indifferent about selling unless full
prices are realizutl, and have full confidence
| in the future of the market. Some dealers.
in fact. are ready TO buy. and have recently
purchased considerable fleece wool in Phil
ndo'pha and California wool in New York.
Manufacturers are not over sanguinc about
thei business, but it is very seldom that they
| are ready To admit u profitable business
when in the market is buyers of wool.
| WOrstcd goods have been disposed of us fast
us the mills can turn them out and in many
cases are largely sold ahead, but in other
woolens there has been no decided activity
us yet. Many desirable lines of goods are
selling ut what may he called Il fair profit
and on the whole the business is more salts
factory than for some years past. There Is
now no talk about stopping machinery, and
ut the present rate of consumption the sup
ply of domestic must be used up mt much
earlier date than usual. We are therefore,
likely to have u steady and firm market,
with fair prospect Of higher prices for all
fine wOels that have lately been so much
sought alter
Michigan ileeces still attract considerable
attention, and some has been sold ut so ~
52c, and this description is firm ut thest
prices.
Combirg and delainc selections are still
sought after, but the transactions are limited
by the small stocks Offering. Sales mostly
at So to Coo, but including some choice rs
high us Gee. There Is more chance for 4
corner on combing and dGaine selection,
than on any other description, us very full
. prices have been sustained for cOmbing
woods abroad, but our large mills generally
anticipate their wants IL long time ahead
: and are in II position to withdraw from tn,
market ut any time, if prices should taxi
. any decided turn upward. At current rates
| however this description sells readily anc
the demand exceeds the supply.
Pulled woods have been arriving NOR
freely and continue to command full prices
: Stocks are not likely to accumulate for SOM
months yet.
California wool meets with good deman

Mr.. Jamcson's article about potatoes is
worthy of perusal. We never intended to
call the Early Rose humbug, though those
who paid 81 per pound for them when they
had just as good an early potato before felt
that they had been humbugged. As mar
ket potato, SO long as the Rose commands
the highest price it is the potato to raise
but for our own use we should prefer the
Y ork as an early potato, judging from the
experiments we have tried. With US the
Rose proved nearly or quite as liable to
rot as the Jackson White, and on the same
soil the jackson was fully the best Of the
two for the table. The objection of deep
eyes is the worst feature we know of the
jackson.
We think Mr.. j. is in error about the
Chill being "he popular. variety" The
Jackson usually keeps within about five
cents of tho price of the Early Rose in mar
ket, while peerless and other varieties" are
quoted ID to % cents below. The grain
and flavor of the Chilli are not generally
considered equal to the Jackson, though
being better yielder it is cultivated more
extensively, possibly
As for Pringle's Snowflake, we have no
personal knowledge of the potato, but have
seen it highly recommended, and never heard
fault charged to it. Mr.. p. certainly dc
serves success, and we hope he may have
it.
We mentioned the excellence of the Early
York because we believed it to excel tht
Rose for early use. We shall endeavor t.
procure some Of them, and will send "A few
pounds by express, at no cost except expires
charges, to such as would like to try them
so far as the seed holds out, provided ever.

II is the opinion of n Connecticut organ
that Judge Poland has shown II quite excep-
tional quality Of magnanimity and sell-abno-
CATION in withdrawing his name.
The republican managers in Missouri
conclude that it won't pay to put separate
ticket in the field this fall, and the success
of the peoples ticket" would therefore
seem assured,
The suggestion of Mr., Willard for senator
in the place of Mr.. Edmunds-is one
which Vermont would do well to think
about. Before Judge Poland's little mishap,
VIC should have set it down under the head

We have received good number of let

Luke p. Poland weighed himself on Fair
hanks scales, and supposed his ability would
outweigh his integrity. 1t seems, however,
that there Is mistake somewhore-either
in Poland's judgment or the scnles. Which?
A,yus.
Poland gives it up. Ho writes to the Rut-
land Herald IN grieved way, saying lie
would not have tried had he suspected such
II result. Now. If somebody could write u
certificate of character for Poland, he could
retire with the greatest cclat Now, there
is Edn,unls.--Troy Why.
prominent citizen of Vermont, in n
private note to the editor Of llIc Springfield
Republican, says: 1.-THE grangers have
helped the cause of honest politics here.
They ARE entitled To much of the credit for
Poland's terrible defeat. though they are
modest and don't claim the honor"
| Vermont is not the only state in which
political matters appear to be decidedly I'M
settled. In the tenth Iowa district Mr.. Me-
Crary WAS renominated by the republicans,
after u hard contest, hut the leader of the
opposition announced that he would beat
him out of his boots" if he dared TO run, and
he publicly withdrew. The second cOnvon-
ton has now been held, and, after liveliel
contest than before, McCrary has been re-
nominated,-- and this time he concludes to
take his chances Of being beaten out of hi:
boots, which DISTINGUISHED observers think
are very good.
Such papers us the Vermont Farmer,
which have opinions of their own, and the
moral courage to express them, are especial
ly welcomed to our table. While political
papers AFRO generally run in the interest o
some clique or party. and are ready to al
vocato or cover up any abominaton for mon
ey, the agricultural press Of the country de
ponds upon the honest patronage of homes
produ GERS. We regard ii us TO our best in
terest to consider and to advocate the hes
, interests of the industrial community, indie

One matter that is likely to come before
our next legislature is the question Of taxa.
ton of railroad property. Whether under
our existing laws railroad property can be
assessed by towns, or not, is in doubt, but
there is no doubt about the right aud justice
of the matter, and we hope our state govern
nent will take such action as shall remove
the doubt aud subject railroad property tc
the same burdens imposed upon the farmer
and the mechanic. Vermont is behind her
sister states of the Union in this matter. Lei
her take stride forward.

The more nearly the two parties balance

the party sustaius any injury from the bolt
it must be charged to the Poland party, who
nominated him after being assured that there
would be bolt if they did so. The majority
of the republican voters Of the district have
ratified the bolt in the election, and if there
be two factions of the party this will be the
larger, and should be acknowledged al
