The newspaper agencies inform US that
newspapers with. a nominal capital OF
$8,000,0 900 have come to naught since the
panic Of 1873. The new papers arising to
take their places, in the West at least,
seem to be largely disposed to announce
themselves, even in their titles, as taking
the side Of the Grange. A rehearsal Of
the most prominent Grange organs BY
States will do much to open the eyes Of
some people to the magnitude Of this
movement.
1t is an interesting fact that scarcely
any Grange papers are published this
side Of the Allegheny mountains. and
there are very mary more in the South
than IN New England. In all Down East
| find no manifest Grange organ, and
only two or three public workingmcn's s
papers. 1t is said that many of the mill
owners will discharge hand who persists
IN taking paper that is devoted cxclu.
sivelY to the interest Of that;cla
Now York has apparently no Grange
papers, except sort of price current in
this city, unless the Elmira HusbGndn,dn
is of that sort. New Jersey had the
Vineland Independent, calling itself the
New Jersey Granger last year. but the
bullet that entered Uri Carruth's brain
drove the ''hay.secd:' out of his hair.

West Virginia content themselves with
two Grange papers-the Farmers Friend
and Chesapeake Granger. Virginia has

societies, established fer many years in

organs apiece, it becomes apparent tt 1T
an order that is already supporting and

must have tremendous membership and
a strong hold upon the popular Affections.
There is singular difference between
the organs Of, the movement in different

as a general thing, with letters, speeches,
and arguments in favor Of greenback cu..:
rency, that they have not room for many
Grange particulars. In the Northwest.

are still hard at work in their anti.

Indeed, the people of this
