When the movement against intrm-
perance in the West enyrossed atten-
ton, we watched and waited. We ho
not undcrvaluc popular movements: but
they can pass over amN leave far less re-
suits than the friendly and S;inSuine
hope. Now, when nothing is being
said--we sincerely hope there is much
being done--we venture our word on
the subject. Intempcrance is the viru-
lent foe Of the body, of character, Of
conscience, Of the estate, of the family,
the community, the church, the nation.

At the same time that it promotes

At the same time that it promotes
the interests of the farmer, it is in
harmony with the true interests Of
our cities. The financial welfare of
the one is the financial Welfare Of
the other. It was this fact which in
duced the citizens of Mu,catine to
make SO liberal donation to this
cooperative effort. 1t could. with
advantage be repeated in many
parts of the State However, great
care must be used in getting them
up.
Certain conditions. and which are
peculiarly favorable to Muscatine,
shoul d not be overlooked. In this
instance, Muscatine was near to coal
and had the skilled labor, had every
access to the raw material. and had
the discreet men, and men of capital
to handle such an enterprise.
Wherever these conditions are to be
found, manufactures like this may
be started, with almost a certainty
Of success. Beware, however, of

would find it to their interest to con
tribute literally to it. Here is now
suggested plan by which manufac-
tories of one kind and another may
be developed all over the State. Be
sure however to observe the condi-
tlons. If these are faithfully OBJ
served these. o-o!,-rattve methods
will be twice blessed. 1t will bless

Bribing Legislators.

The facts brought to light in the in
vestigation of what is called the Pacific
Mail Subsidy, arc startling. This was
a subsidy voted to !, line Of Pacific
Ocean steamers for carrying the United
States mail: 1t now appears us though
nearly one million dollars was paid as
as Il bribe to get the act granting this
subsidy through Congress.
The people-the hard working, poor
people of the country should fully COM
prehend that such wild and extravagant
expenditures ultimately come out of
them--out of the sweat of their brows
and the marrow Of their bones: Money
does not make itself; it has to be made
by somebody; and it is made by the
workers of the country.
As the hives of honey-bees have
drones, so the human bee-hives have
drones. The honey-bees haul out their
drones and kill them-literally sting
them to death and drop them on the
ground.
What shall de done with the drones
in the human bee-hive-the lobbyists
and bribers, who seek to live on honey;
but to avoid, at the same time, all hon
est work? They deserve to be stung
to death by the public scorn!
The moral sentiment of the country
ought to brand as infamous every briber
of legislature, either State or Nation
al. Let him be stunned, as a moral
and political leper, ever after his true
character is once established.-N. Y.

Agricultural implement Cues
ton Solved.

We print below an extract from a
letter appearing in the Raty0u's
Helper of Iowa. The article comes
fat with thoughts and arguments
that are equally applicable to the
Manufacturing enterprise that is be-
ing undertaken in Goodhue County.
Shall our State and our County be
behind all others in learning and act
ing upon the lessons of the times?
The writer in speaking Of the Grange
Mandatory Of Muscatine County,
says:
This is one of the most interest
ing cooperative enter ,>rises in the
County. 1t was founded by the
County Council of Muscatine Coun-
ty, an incorporated body in---
1874. Its capital stock is $4,000,
all of which is now about paid up.
The shares are SIS, and are to pay
10 per cent. interest. The citizens
of Muscatine have already donated
ST., 100, and propose to increase the
amount as soon as the machinery is
placed in the building. A lot has
been purchased and brick building
7ox3o, and three stories high, erect
ed and paid for, with ample room to
enlarge. The machinery has been
put in it within the last few weeks.
For several months this company
has been manufacturing several
kinds Of light wagons and carriages,
and first-class heavy wagon at re-
duced prices.
1t is proposed to manufacture the
Werner Harvester if possible, a
standard reaper and mower, a corn
cultivator, horse rake, and in fact
many of the essential farm imple-
ments.
Here 7of .1fud, after yyebiug in
the dark a Aoug time, a solution OF
the implement question. We have
no harder nut to crack than this.
To solve it we resorted to all sorts
of expedlents; but we have hit upon
the true way to success at last. that
is, to establish greater or less manu-.
factories at home, where there is To-
cal interest, local capital, and local
ability.

Wisconsin proposes to encour-

investigate and discuss the subject
of narrow-guage roads and to give
all possible protection to men in
vesting their capital therein, but the

they will be constructed wherever

The refusal Of the Committee
of Congress to report in favor of
granting an extension on the Wilson
patent of the four motion feed to
sewing machines, of which we spoke
at some length last week, is not

of much more Importance as giving
promise for the future. That an in
ventor should be literally paid for
his invention, is no more than Just,
but that the world should be pro-
hlblted from using inventions for
ever, because some man happened
to outstrip the rest of the race in
developing some new idea or in OBJ

provement, is more than injustice, it
is despotism. The old plan has re-
suited in monopoly, and the renewal
of the patents has been a source of
untold corruption.

Trumpet of Reform,' i, collection Of
songs, hymns, chants and set pieces
for the Grange, the club, and reform
organization, not only for its beauty,
but because many Minnesota farmers
will appreciate by sympathy that comes
from like experience, its deep pathas.
This song was sung at the last meeting
Of the Goodhue County Council, P. Of
H., and the moistened eyes were not
only complimentary to the merit Of the
poetry and the singing, but they spoke
volumes Of the struggles had and
hardships endured, Of battles with the
cold, the heat, and therain, Of long days
Of weary toll and anxiety, of ''rizin

the sum- and being overtaken by night
before the work was done, by those who
had been so unfortunate as to get mort
cages on the farn:)
Mary, let's kill the fatted calf and cele-
brate the day,
For the last dreadful mortgage on the
farm is wiped away.
I've got the papers with me, they are
right as light can be-
Let's laugh and sing together, for the
dear old farm is free.
Don't all the Yankees celebrate the
fourth day of July?
Because twas then that freedom's sun
lit up our nations sky.
Why shouldn't we, then, celebrate, and
this day ne'er forget?
Where is there any freedom now like
being out Of debt?
riz up many mornin's an hour before
the sun,
And night has overtaken me before my
work WAS done.
When weary with my labor twas this
tho't nerved my arm
Each day Of toll will help to pay the
mortgage on the farm.
And, Mary, you have done your part in
rowin' to the shore;
BY takin' eggs and butter to the little
village store:
You did not spend the money in dress
ing up for show,
But sang from morn to evening in your
faded calico.
And Bessie, our sweet daughter-God
bless her little heart,
The lad that gets her for a wife, must
be, by natur', smart
She's gone without piano, her lonely
hours to charm;

III build little cottage soon to make
your heart rejoice;
I'll buy good piano to 60 with Bessie's
voice;
You shall not make your butter with
that old used up concern,
III 60 this very day and buy the finest
Lay by your faded calico and go with
me to town,
And get yourself and Bessie new and
shining gown;
Low prices for our produce need not
give US now alarm;
Spruce up a little, Mary, there's no
mortgage on the farm.
While our hearts are now so joyful, let
us, Mary, not forget,
TO thank the God of Heaven for being
out of debt;
For lie gave rain and sunshine and
strength unto my arm,
And lengtheaed out our days to see no
mortgage on the farm.
