The Granger's Ten Command
ments.

Z. Thou shalt love the Grange
With all thy heart and with all thv
sml, aud thou shalt love thy brother
Grangers os thyself.
II. Thou shalt not suffer the
tame Of thy Grange to be cyi! spoken
of, out shallsseyercIy chastise the
wretch who speaks Of It with con.
tempt.
III, Remember that Saturday is
Granger day. On it thon shalt set
aside thy hoe and rake, and sewing
machine, and wash thyself and ap-
pear before the Master in tho G ange
with smiles, and songs, and hearty
cheer. On the fourth week thou
shalt not appear empty -handed, but
shall surely bring a pair Of ducks,
turkey roasted with fire, cake
baked in the oven, and pies and
fruit in abundance for thy harvest
feast. So shalt thou eat and be
merry and ''freights and fares" shall
be remembered no more.
". Honor thy Master, and all
who sit in authority over thee, that
the days of the Grange may be long
in the land which Uncle Sam hath
given thee.
V. Thou shalt not go 10 law.
vi. Thou shalt not burn thy
straw. but shall surely stack it for
thy cattle in winter.
VII. Thou shall do no business on
tick" Pay as thou goest, as much
as in thee lieth.
VII. Thou shalt support the
Granger's Bank F; for thus it becometh
thee to fulfill the laws of business.
TX. Thou shalt by all means have thy
life insured 10 the Granger's Life In
surance Company, that thy wife and
little ones may have friends Wien
thou art cremated and gathered unto
thv fathers.
X. Thou shalt have no Jewish
between thy ranch and
Liverpool, to iatten on thy honest
toll but shall surely charter thy
own ships, and sell thy own produce,
and use thine own brain. This is the
last and great commandment. On
this hang all the laws and profits.
And if there be any others, they are
these Choke monopolies. break up
rings. vote for honest men. fear God
and make money. SO shalt thou
prosper and sorrow and hard times
shall flee away.-Californi Granger.

A Sound Platform.

The following is the platform of the
Farmers and Peoples Apti-Monopoly
Party of Livingston county, Illinois.
Every farmer and workingman in the
country can stand upon it and make a
successful fight against all opposing
classes and interests. We endorse every
word aud sentiment of this platform
DECLARATION.
This organization is opposed to railroad
steals. tariff steals, salary grab
steals, bank steals, and every other
form of stealing by which the farmer and
aboring classes are robbed of the legiti-
mate fruits of their labor.
PLATFORM.
l. We are in favor of controlling by
law the railroad corporations Of our state.
.. We submit to tBxatiou and duties
to meet the necessity OF the Government,
but denouDce as npjHst and oppressive sli
taxation for the benefit of special classes
3. We ere in favor of tue present bank
ing system being so made that all men,
by giving the proper security, should
have equal privileges, 80 chat supply ana
demand shall regulate our money market
4. We are opposed TO ali future grants
of land to railroad or osher corporations,
and believe tnat the pubic domain should
be held sacred to the actual settlers.
5. We are ia favor OF a true system Of
civil service reform, making honesty and
capacity the only valid claim for pubic
employment and believe that the office
should seek the man, and not the man the
office.

Some Things Which the Pat
rons Propose to Do,

l. To secure for themselves, through
the Oranges, social and educational ad-
vantages, not otherwise attainable, and to
thereby. while improving their condition
as class, ennobIe farm life, and render it
attractive and desirable.
.. To give full practical effect to the
fraternal tie which unites them, in belping
each other in case of sickness, bereave-
ment, pecuniary misfortune, and want
and danger of every kind.
3. To make themselves better and
more successful farmers and planters, by
means of the knowledge gained, the
habits Of industry and method established,
and the quickening of thought induced
by intercourse and discussion.
4. To secure economies in the buying
of implements, fertilizers, and family sup
plies, and in transportation, as well as in
creased profits in the sale of the products
Of their labor, without enhancing their
cost to the consumer.
3. To entirely abolish the credit sys-
tenn, in their ordinary transactions, al
ways buying and selling ON cash basis,
both among themselves and in their
dealings with the outsideworld.
6. To encourage cooperation in trsde,
in farming, ana in other branches OF in
dustry, especially those most infinitely
connected with agriculture.
Z. To promote the true unity Of the
Republic, by drawing the best men and
women of all paris of the country togeth-
er in an organization which knows no
sectional bounds or preiudices, or owes

Press Gag Law.

The Radical Republican press Of
the country are blowing fearfully
about what that party has done
for the liberty of the press. They fail
to tell us that the party unanimously,
at the close Of the last session Of Con-
gress, passed an act which Is the gag
of the press for the purpose choking of
theitruth. A special to the Chicago
Tribune thus gives its working.
Ex,Gov. Shepherd appeared be-
fore the Grand Jury in this city to-
day, with number of editorials in
the New York Sun, treating Of his
public acts, which he solemnly made
oath we're untrue, and upon this he
asked that Chas. A. Dana, the edi-
tor of the Sun, be indicated for libel,
and brought here for trial. This, it
is presumed. is the beginning Of the
programme to be carried out urder
Mr.. Poland's new libel law, which be
claims cannot be used in retaliation
by offi,ial gentlemen who feel ag-
grieved at the criticism made upon
them by the press. No action was
taken by the jury to day, but it is
thought that they will prepare the
Indictment before they adjourn. The
hope is expressed here that Dana
will accept the fight aud allow the
case to come to trial here. All the
resources of those who propose to
thus muzzIe the press will be made
use Of to secure his conviction and
Imprisonment, and it is urged il
might be as well to let the people
know, once for an, what desperate
measures can be restored TO by the
men who find il disagreeable 10 be
exposed 10 their official misconduct.
Ii is argued that, if Mr.. Dana should
be convicted and imprisoned, which
is altogether unlikely ex ept with
a packet jury, the fact and the meth
cd by which it would be accom-
plished would make apparent to the
country how Infamous this under-
hand attempt to cnrsaii the freedom
of the press really is, aud its authors
would, Ia the storm OF condemnation
that must iollos, receive such a re-
buke as would forever alter prevent
a similar attempt.

To the Patrons of Husbandry
Throughout the Union.

1t is with great pleasure that the
Patrons Relief Committee announces
to our large.hearted brethren through.
out the Union, that no more contri-
buttons to sufferers from overflow is
needed, the liberal assistance already
received being amply sufficient to
carry our distressed brethren through
the most urgent Of their necessities.
A full report of the disbursements, as
well as of the receipts will soon be
published by the Conmittee and
placed in the hands of the Master Of
every State Grange. Until then,
the Committee, as we'll as those who
have been re ipients Of our brethren's
kind liberaliy return sincere thanks
for the same.

An "0pen Grange"

A Grange in Muscartine county,
Iowa, holds what is called open
Grange, in which no business is
transacted. and invites everybody to
attend. Questions of interest to ag-
riculturalists and others are to be
discussed. We suggest that the
Oranges in Mississippi do likewise.
Let every Grange have an open
meeting once a mouth at which, dis
cusss all matters of interest 10 those
present, inviting all to take part in
these discussions. 1t will be the
means of arousing the Indifferent and
callous, to a true realization of the
benefits that may be gained from the
association of the Grange. Let us
hear from the Oranges on this
subject.

Bluff Creek,
5th 1874.

In a moral point Of view, the life
OF the agriculturist is the most pure
and holy of any class of men pure.
because it is the most healthful, and
vice can hardly find time to contami-
nate it F; and holy, because it brings
Deity perpetually before bis view,
giving him thereby the most exalted
notions of supreme power, and the
most fascinating and eudearing view
of moral benignity.-Lord Johr
Russell.

Some lugubrious whelp, who writes
over Frank" In the Chicago Times,
says that after twelve years wandering
ON the frontier he has finally settled
down in smiling valley in Pennsyl-
vania. He says that he has just made
an extensive trip in the Western States,
and there the people are generally in =
bad way A. to their water, crops.
money, politics, etc. He seems to have
. special spite against Iowa. He says
it il drained dry by the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers; that NO good
streams run through the State; that
crops are poor; grasshoppers abund-
ant; politics atrocious; government
corrupt; taxation oppressive, besides
many other bad things too tedious to
mention. We suspect that Crank" Is
some Chicago hoodlum who has never
been in Iowa, and that he has stolen
his picture of our State from some
Anti Monopoly candidates speech.
