AN IDEA OF the value OF our CONNER
cial intercourse with Cuba may be form
ed from the fact that one-fourth Of our
revenue from custom duties is derived
therefrom, being collected upon sugars,
molasses, tobacco and cigars. In 1874
the custom dues upon Cuban sugars and
tobaccos were $38,339,880, while our
total importation of molasses was 80
per cent. of the amount consumed, esti-
mated at 81, 445, 643.

- $4,000 reapers, mowers and harvest
ers were sold during the last season, and
only $500 reached the Patrons through
their own business system. This, if
true, is certainly not very good showing
for Patrons. There were many in
stances where agents of machines, not
represented by the grange, sold at thir-
ty and forty per cent. below the regular
price There was probably not a ma
chine sold last season that was not re-
duced in price from the rates of the
year before. The reduction on actual
sales would probably average 20 per

The Grange and Farm.

HE following ls from the New York
letter Of the Hoosier Granger of Nov.
9th, concerning Gov. Tilden:
An hour spent with him once at his
house satisfied me that self-aggrandize-
ment and self-glori6cation were upper
most in his mind. As to this city it is
a lamentable fact that the candidate
most like genuine reformer is John
Morrissey, the gambler and prize-fght-
er. Across the street near my resi-
dence is swung huge portrait Of his
opponent, Senator Fox, a most brutal
face. In the windows of rum-holes 1
see pictures of candidates for important
judgeships, who look as if they were fit
candidates for the penitentiary. The
people of these great cities cannot save
themselves. They must be saved by the
mighty, persistent, perpetual effort Of
the rural districts to force them into de-
cency. We want rural Cromwells, nurs-
ed in the grange, to gather around them
men like his stern puritans, who, armed
with the irresistible, blessed American
ballot, will whip these demoralized cities
into responsibility. But, oh, what in
crease of self-denial, self-control, self
sacrifice is needed, what exercise of all
the Christian virtues enumerated by
St. Paul, before this work can be done.
This ought to prove, also, that the
anticipation of reforming the govern
ment by the fundamentally Of the
Democratic party is founded upon an
egregious error. The rulers of that
party are city politicians, who regard
official positions as desirable mainly be-
cause Of the profit they yield.
The following is from the money ar
ticle of the New York Herald, of re-
cent date. It certainly does not sug.
gest cheerful prospect:
The failures of savings banks, the
breaking up of merchants, the sales Of
goods below cost, the foreclosure of
mortgages, the sacrifices made to obtain
money and pay debts, the struggles Of
those who for eli ght or ten years have
been carrying loans,-these are certain.
ly no brig ht features of the situation,
and are not suggestive of early improve.
ment. As a natural consequence, faith
is weakened, capital is shy, dullness
rules, few care to speculate where the
play against them is with loaded dice,
and the market is left to the manipula-
ton of brokers, who in the absence OF
legitimate trade are forced to gamble
with each other, in order to pay Office
| expenses.
And the worst of it is, the western
producers have to pay the expenses Of
all these brokers and spectators.

A RECENT San Francisco dispatch

A RECENT San Francisco dispatch
says:
Crop reports received to-day from
various parts of the State show that in
the Sacramento Valley the yield of
wheat will be from half to three-quar-
tiers of an average. In Solano county
the prospect is good for a fair crop.
The same in Napa and Sonomo Valleys.
In San Joaquin Valley the crops are
very bad, and in many localities will
MT produce seed. The whole valley
will not probably average over a quar-
ter crop. The San Jose Valley will
produce good half average. In Salin-
as Valley wheat is in splendid condi-
ton on the hig her land, covering about
seventy five thousand acres, but on the
river bottom half crop is the extreme
estimate. In the southern counties
grain is generally in good condition, and
the increased area planted will probably
afford the usual surplus.
SAMUEL LEAv1TT, in the Hoosier Pa
iron, says:
How is this for subject for thanks?
Taking Dan Barlow & Co.'S. figures for
nine months as basis, we can calcu.
late on lip failures of merchants this
year, covering IL deficit of $l74,896,67l.
There is this satisfaction for currency
reformers about this matter. The fail
ures are now mostly in the east and es.

stronghold. "And still Pharaoh herd

We converse daily with planters

opinion expressed by all is that cotton
will not turn ous near so well as was ez-
peeted three weeks ago. The October
frosts it is believed have put it beyond
the hope Of the top cotton ever open
ing. This will affect considerably the
yield Of this important crop With the
exception Of the last few days, the wealth
er has been unfavorabl9 to the opening

CORRESPONDENCE.

Ia my article on Temperance. pub /
lished in your paper October Is. l en-
deayored to give few of the evils of in
temperance; and | might 60 on and null
tiply the evil effects of intemperance to
almost an inJefoite number But viii
only give a few Of the many in this
short essay I viii then suggest the
remedy. In addition to what said in
my last, viii say that drinking as hev-
erage intoxicating liquors, is a very
heavy tax upon a mans purse, especially
these hard times Its expensiveness
ought to be sufficient reason Tor not in
dulsing in its use. have known men
object to joining a temperance order on
account Of its being too expensive They
say it takes too much money to pay dues
Now, let US see which costs the most, to
drink daily of the beverage, or to join
a temperance association, and in ny cal
eulations | viii be as moderate on the
drinker, as CA. Then we will suppose
f.! that man takes FIVE drinks per day,
which will perhaps hardly be an averd &c,
I for there are many who drink much
more, at ten cents per drink, which viii
make fifty cents per cay, or thiIteen del
lars per month Of twenty-six days, or
Sl56 so per year, still leaving out the
Sabbaths. So you see what nice little
sum the moderate dram-drinker expends
in year for whisky, which causes him
to neglect his family, brings them aud
himself to disgrace, and often to starva-
ton, landing him in drunlards grave
and a drunkard's he'll But we forbare
TPe viii now ascertain what it costs to
join a temperance order, nd his quar-
ter!y dues Tor the same term of twelve
months In the first place, it costs one
dollar, the initiation fee, and the quar-
teIly dues are thirtg-five cents every three
months, making ono dollar and forty
cents per year; add to this the initiation
fee, and still il amounts to less than tn c
amount the moderate drinking costs for
one week, thereby saving in one year
the snug little sum of 1854 10 by Join
in the temperance order. Just think OF

something that does him no good, bat
deal Of harm-not only to himself, hus ts
his neighbors and friends also. 1t doe;
not always stop there. 1t is often The

dram-drinkers, and ponder them in you
