How to Calculate Interest and What Il
Will do. No.,

The following rules are so simple
and so tue according to all business
usage, that every banker, broker,
merchant or clerk should post them,
up for reference. There being no
such thing as fraction in it, there d
scarcely any liability to error or mis-
take. BY no other arithmetical pro.
cess can the desired information ba
obtained by 80 few figures: ,t
Six per cent-Multiply any given
II numbsr 81
days Of interest desired, fepnrate the
right hand figure and divide by six;
the result is the true interest on such
number Of days at six per cent. i
Eight per ccnt--MultipIy any given
amount for the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the
interest, and divide by forty-fve, and
the result will be the interest of such
sum for the time required, at eight
per cent.
What it will do. Ifa mechanic or
clerk saves Only 81 cents a day, from
the time he is twenty-one until he 10
lhrcescore and ten, the aggregate,
with interest. will amount to 81 900;
and Il daily saving Of 973 cents reaches
the important sum of $4,000. A six
pence saved daily will provide sum
of S7,0O0--sufficient to purchase a
good farm. .'rmr
There arc few employers who can.
not save daily, by abstaining from the
use of cigars. tobacco, liquor, etc.,
twice or ten times the amount of the
six cent piece. Every person should
provide fer old age, md the man in
business who can save dollar day
will eventually find himself possessed
ofovcr 100000.

"cLoD.HoPPINc FARMERS. ="

The Psoaeer-Press of Sept. I'd says,
speaking of the changes in the Demo-
cratic-Republican ticket:
The candidate for state auditor is a clever
enough wild Irishman; a sort of clod-hopping
farmer, with as little special fitness for the
discharge of the difficult, tangled, and respon-
sible duties Of the auditors Office, as an ape
would have for the duties Of priest. The
nomination is simply ridiculous, and will re-
suit in the nearly unanimous return of Audi
tor Whitcomb to his post. AS for Bonniwell, the
candidate for railroad commissioner, nothing
need be said in addition to yesterday comment.
He is good fellow"
After this all ''clod-hopping farmers
will understand that it is simply "ridicu.
lous'' for them to aspire to any Office
political positions belong OF ri ght to the
upper brahminical caste, of which Dave
Blakely and 10 Wheelock are fit repre-
sentatives.
''Clod-hoppers" to the rear! Amuse
yourselves by hopping over clods in
your rural retreats. The serfs will
have to be suppressed.
Now "clod-hoppers" come up and
support the Republican ticket and prove
that the Pioneer Press has estimated you

Good Advice to the Friends Of Rsform-A
Letter from Olmsted Co.

ROCHESTER,, August 18th, 1876.
Nh. EDIroR The ANTI-NoNoPoLIsr never
fails to put in an appearance promptly on the
day it is due, and is eagerly sought for, and
read with interest. Besides never failing to be
on hand at the appointed time, it is fully up
with the times, doing hearty and vigorous bat
tie for the lab0ring classes. e
It was a surprise to me to learn that You have
only two subscribers In the town Of Quincy,
in this county But / was glad to learn that
those two had received material benefit from
reading your paper and following your advice
in regard to selling wheat What are Bros.
Kepner and Teachont doing-being pro6ted
by reading the ANTI MoNoPolIsr, and not ex-
tend its circulation in their midst? If we did
not know them to be good Anti Monopolists,
one might be induced to believe that having 4
good thing themselves, they wished to monop-
olize it. Stir them up Mr.. Editor, to deeds Of
more exalted usefulness, by increasing your
list in that tow nship to half hundred.
We are now in the full tide of successful
harvest work. Weather somewhat showery
but in the main all right. Politically all quiet
in this quarter. The Ramsey Ring State ticket
receives no enthusiastic endorsement in this
section. However, many will vote it from
sheer habit.
like the utterances of your correspondent
from Hennepin county who said-'For one,
am willing to trust Buell.. Let us 20 in ant
elect the ticket and an opposition legislature
and then If nothing is done, go for ne,
party" Retrenchment and economy are wha
the people demand; the Republican party d.
not seem to heed, or hear their voice. / trus
the people will speak this fall in tones that can
not be misunderstood. H.

RAIN. RAIN. RAIN,

Our crop reports tell sad, sad story.
Property destroyed, hopes dashed to the
earth, despair taking the place of happi-
mass. The unprecedented rains we have
passed through, Unprecedented, Tor Min
nesota, bordering on the rainless plains,
does not usually suffer from an overplus
of either rain or SNOWY will have cost
the State millions Of dollars. Number
one wheat will be scarce indeed; but
where in the United States can it be
found in any quantitye
Don't despair, good friends. Gail is

Ne demagogue is at his wits end this fall for
an alarm cry. Unfortunately for him, the
farmers and the laborers in this State are happy
and oontented. The farmer is reaping rich
harvest, for which he is sure TO receive fair
and remunerative price.-Gieneoe Register.
Liberty Hall would have us believe tina,
the Republican party created the sun
shine. rain and fertility of soil, out Of
which that crop grew: and that John S.
Pillsbury ripened it.
But mark his argument: whenever a
farmer has enough to fill his belly and
cover his back, he should stop thinking
and 60 to chewing his cud like a con-
tented OK. And he hopes that the farm
ers of Minnesota will be this year so
Gckled with the bounties of God, that
they will forget for while the robberes
of the Republican party. and so the
stealing can 60 on for q year longer.
And this is the party that emancipated
the slaves.

CORRESPONDENCE
A New Correspondent Asks Some Ugly
Questions Of Governor Marshall which we
hope the Governor will find time to an

Questions Of Governor Marshall which we
hope the Governor will find time to an
sWer.
Ed. Anti .Nonopolist:
see that Ex-Governor Marshall has again
meekly bowed his neck to the yoke, and ac-
cepts the candidacy for the Office of Railroad
Commissioner. Byron says:
''There is moral to all human tales
And hence there must be to this one. 1t will
be remembered that this Marshall who now ac-
cepts of Charley Gilma's resignation of that
candidacy because the said Charley being a
member Of the last Legislature, is Ineligible, is
the same VIM. Z. Marshall who, as Governor
approved Of the Act of 1873, creating the Office
OF State Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
which Act was adopted and reported by Marx
II. Dunnell, a member Of that Legislature, as
chairman Of the Committee of Education in
the House, and that, in open defiance of the
constitution, Marshall Immediately appointed
said Dunnell to the very Office just created by
his vote and influence.
From all this it appears that when the Re-
publicans want to reward pei the constitution
is of no consequence, and can be openly de-
fed, but that when by accident, they happen
to get too long stinker to the tail Of their tck.
1t, the constitutional inelligibility clause, is
splendid instrument with which to extract it
and Marshall Is just the man to perform thu
operation with neatness and dispatch.
| would like to have Marshall explain to tn.
people why such things are thus, and recon
Gle his action as Republican head Of the Stais
ticket
would like to have Marshal explain all abou
how he came by that big farm down in Mowe
county, said to have been purchased Of the s
NJ. r. Co and tell the people exactly what wa
the consideration therefor, and why that pur
chase was contemporaneous or nearly 50, witt
the issuing of deed to the company from tn
State signed by Governor Marshal, for an i'm
mense body Of land there being grave doubt
whether the company had complied with tn
terms of the law a. to sspoints. =
/ As to all these matters would like tn
Governor, when he makes another public debat
with Hon Fl. N Rice TO explain.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC STEAL.
The following will be interesting read
ing for Minesotians. We take it from
the Rockford. Ullinois,) Times

the hockIoru. tllllnolS,) 1m1eS:-
1t turns out that the Northern Pacific rail-
road managers have been practicing the arts of
the Credit MobilierlSts in the construction of
the enterprise. The road was sold on Thurs
day last, under decree of foreclosure, and a
dispatch from Washington TO New York pa
per states that the sale was the greatest fraud
ever perpetrated in this country. The trans
action is to be investigated by the next Con-
gress, as some 80, 00o, 900 acres of public lands
are involved. 4 committee of hondholders
have ascertained that $50, 400, 900 stand on the
books rs cash received. and that Si7. 29l COO
We're paid out for building five hundred and
nifty miles Of road, for rolling stock tele-
graph lines, building, etc, leaving a balance
Of SIS, 1900 unaecounted for. The commit
tee OF German bondholders discovered. ON in
vesugation and report. that the directors form
ed two land companies, and so manipulated
affairs that these land companies came into
possession of lands at 50 90 per acre which
could have been sold for from $40 10 SO Ter
acre As the bonds were negotiated 10 the ex-
tent of ST. ,o0o, 600 III Germany on alleged re-
presentations that the credit of the United
States was involved. and As they are deemed
worthless now, correspondence has been
opened with the State Department; hs the Ger
man banker who negotiated and sold them.
As Jay Cooke 4 Co, were the principal neyo-
tiators of the bonds Of the company, the con-
Germ is probably implicated in the frauds. and
Bowen, who pnfied them SO lavishly in his In
dependent, will be called upon to explain. II

Cleveland is situated 10 miles southeast Of
lie Sueur, and in the mi DIST of as rich an agri-
cultural district as can be found in Minnesota;
and many farmers in the vicinity, this season,
have raised q bushels of wheat to the acre,
and 50 bushels of oats.
The county fair for number Of years has
been held here, and this year it will again be
here; to take place in few weeks. Quite an
interest is being manifested in it, throughout
the county, and it is expected that it will be
much more successful than any fair hitherto
held in the county
The Autobiography county convention has
been called to meet here on the 18th proximo,
and OF course candidates for the various coun-
ty Offices are coming out Of the brush in num-
bers. In care good mensare selected there
will not be the slightest difficulty to elect them
as this county is decidedly anti-radical After
feeling the public pulse in various localities
in the county, feel warranted in predicting
that LIE Sueur will give the Anti Monopoly
State ticket q rousing vote. :,
But neither the approaching fair nor the
Anti Monopoly convention are interesting the
people of Cleveland half so much as the re-
sponsibilities which have come upon them
conformity with the honors of the county
seat. They do not expect their village to grow
into city like st. Paul or Minneapolis, but
they do feel that with proper exertions. pu,
forth Immediately in the right direction, they
can very materially add both to its size and
commercial importance. Il k#
Although there is some doubt as to the per-
manency of the county seat in its present 10
calities, and even though it should be removed
from here, yet, there is no reason why Cleve-
land should not be cool business point
During my stay 1t Cleveland had the
pleasure of meeting Col. J. Frank Quinlan, o.
St. Thomas, princely fellow, aud to whom
am indebted for many favors. te
The r1-MoNoPoLIsr is q great favoritt
in this locality, and has many readers. A
number of new names were yesterday added tt
the already large club at Cleveland, and hav,
good reason to believe that many more will
soon subscribe.
