hours Of labor" he continued, 'swe would be
ruined'' The correspondent referred to has
Travelled over large portion of New England
for the purpose of ascertaining facts relative to
the numerous strikes In Fall River alone
5000 operatives are on strike. In the state
of Rhode Island 40, 900 mill hands are undeci-
ded. It is not generally known that in many
mills the operatives work fifteen hours day.
Yet these are the hours the masters say they
cannot shorten without ruin to themselves, al
thoughin some parts as in Lowell and Lawrence
the masters have reduced the hours of labor to
eleven, and have not been ruined thereby.
Undoubtedly, the great mill ll-owners of New
England must compete with foreigners. But,
unfortunately, they make this the excuse for
the most unwarrantable actions, as there are no
other capitalists or corporations in the United
States aohO hare done more to make the An,eri-
can 4cOrknlan the mere SLAVE Of his MASTER
Exchange.
And whenever they can reduce the
bulk of the people to the condition of the
mill-workmen of New England and the
coal miners of Pennsylvania. liberty is
at end in this country. Some will say,
''pooh pooh that is impossible" We
are not one hundred years old yet, and
nearly all these rapid changes, this wide
separation OF. the two classes Of society,
the laborers below and the aristocracy
above, have taken place during the last
fifty years. If the same causes continue
to operate-and what is to stop them
where will it land us in another hundred
year.o

WISCONSIN POLITICS.

The light begins to dawn in the Bad
ger State, The entire State ticket was
renominated This is entirely right. A
few sore-heals and railroad attorneys of
the Sat- Clark stripe tried toldrive Gov
Taylor off the track, simply because he
had honestly carried out his pledges to
the people who elected him. The issue
now in Wisconsin is:-shall the people
or the corporations rule the State
We hope every friend of reform in
Wisconsin will give that ticket hearty
support, We don't want to persecute or
rob the railroads, but we don't think it
right to let them run the politics of any
State. The lines of the great campaign
OF 1876 begin to be drawn pretty clearly
all the way from California to Penn
sylvania, On the one side Grant, the
railroads, the aristocracy, the capitalists,
the knaves and the Republicans; on the
other side the people, the rights OF labor,
the cause of the producers, the Demo-
Gratis, the Liberals and the Grangers,
Hew to that line, bretheren, and victory
is certain.

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MS
GOVERNMENT.

And then Mr. Donnelly in his paper charges
that it is wholly the fault OF the Republican
party that Con ress has done nothing to pre-
vent these extortions, and that the same party
gave us the Morse law in Minnesota. While
this is partly true it is also partly false other
words, it is not the whole truth.
Mr., Morse father Of the Morse law, is one of
the leading men in Mr.. Donnslly's own party
he is representative man of the Democratic
Republican party which the ANTI MoSoPoIIsr
supports. THERE'S, iii fact, greater proper
ton OF railroad monopolists in the so-called
Democratic party than in the so-called
matter Of fact, controlled by the railroad mo-
nopolists and the saloonists How unfair, then,
for MIR. DonneiS 10 lay the blame on one party
more than the other. MinHesotd Radical.
How unfair OF Mr.. Childs to hold the
minority responsible for the management
OF the Stale. Minnesota had last winter

majority in both branches OF the Leeis-
lature. All the committees We're i'm their

hence they were disorganized and de-
moralized; aud many of them tell an
easy prey TO the arts of the republican

Childs in denouncing them. The real
responsibility for misgovernment rests
with the party in power.

Mr.. RAHILLT At HOME.

There Is such determined purpose on
the part OF some of the Republican pa
pers to represen, Mr.. Rahilly as an illit-
crate, stupid boor, that we quote the fol-
lowing from the Lake City Sentinel. show
the esteem in which he is held at home.
The nomination OF Mr. Rahilly proved great
surprise To himself As it will to the entire
county. he was not an aspirant for that or
any other political position, and was at the
time If his election engaged in his farm labors,
with no thought OF such an event than would
any private citizen have had, who did not
know of a vacancy upon the ticket In that po-
sition, or who never had an aspiration for the
Office. II was an honor conferred without no
tice or consultation and believe it is the first
nomination for State office ever rendered by
any political party to a citizen OF this county
We have had no consultation with MI. Rahil-
ly As TO his purposes In the matter, but appre-
hend that he will accept, and that his letter
will be in the hands sf the committee in due
time.
To the citizens of this vicinity Mr.. RahiIly
needs no introduction. He has lived for some
twelve years in the township Of Mount Pleas
ant, anu from the ownership, management and
control OF 3 farm of leo acres, he has advanced
steadily to the possession and ownership of Z
whea, farm in this county Of 400 acres, all
under cultivation, and the creditable position
OF the largest farner in the county. His crop
the present year, II the recs Mt rains have no,
damaged it, should have equAled IL 600 to
- 600 bushels Of wheat. This successful &C.
QUESTION was due to the skill and mzneemena
exercised by Mr.. Rahilly, coupled with An un-
firing energy that Yields to no obstacle, and Is
one among other elements which makes sue

2nd. Because all old books III the hands of
her people, which have been paid for, and
which in many cases, are nearly as good as new,
either become dead stock in the hands of the
purchasers or must, by the terms OF introdnc-
ton, be virtually given away; and
Sd. Because that while certain publishing
houses have recently put out what are called
"cheap and thin reading books, they have,
invariably, shortly afterward, supplemented
their series by an additional book, selling at q
cost Of 81 rs or SO 90, thus deceiving the pub
lie by the cry of cheapness, Until their books
are introduced, but eventually burdening it
with cost which it was not prepared to expect.
Resolred, That Harvey's readers belong to
this ''cheap, thin class, and that to seek to
and sufficient is not wise, and that, therefore,
we viii not do it.
Now the remedy for all this is, as we
proposed last winter, to have the State
employ parties to prepare and print a
series of school books sufficient for all
the schools and furnish them to the peo-
pie at cost. Or, let the State own the
copy right and give publishing house
the right to furnish them at fixed prices.
As it is now, the people lose quarter
of a million dollars each year. as Gov.
Austin showed, by overcharges on school
books. and the work Of educating the
children of the poor is hindered by these
robberies.

And now he comes up and wants an
Opposition convention to nominate him
again for the Legislature. If it does he
will then expect party discipline and
fealty to compel every member OF the po-
(itical element represented to vote for
him. Party discipline and party fealty
are well enough with Champlin as long
as he is running for Office, but the mo-
ment he is elected he drops them as he
would a dirty shirt, and steps forth in
the naked glory Of independence.
Now we say, (echoing the Union, that
if Champlin is nominated, every decent
man in bis party should follow his ex-
ample of last winter, and ''prefer an in
dependent position" and vote for some
one else, and that wont hurt Champlin,
for the Union says sit will not be voting

THE OWATONNA CONVENTION.

We were not of those who originally
called the Owatonna Convention, which
met some time since and adjourned over
until the 22nd inst, nor did we in the
first place counsel the holding of any
such convention. We knew that large
part of the Monopotist were fully
satisfied with the ticket headed by MIR.
Buell.. But when the call was issued we
felt that we owed it to the cause to help
make that convention success. and save
the principles which it represented from
ridicule, and hence VIC urged all Anti
Monopolists to attend it. Unfortunately
the convention was called to meet at a
very busy season of the year and hence
many of the principal counties of the
State were unrepresented; and the con-
vention very wisely adjourned over.
Now we again urge upon our friends
to make that convention success. We
believe it will be. We hear from differ
ent counties, unrepresented before, that
they will have delegates present. The
State Central Committee, with Mr. Ayres
at its head, should see to it that there is
full attendance. Some say to us. What
is the use of our going to Owatonna?
True, we are Anti-Monopolists. but Mr..
Buell. is good enough Anti-Monopolist
for u.s. We say to such gentlemen: {:
''then 90 by all meaxs, and help secure
the endorsement of that convention for
Mr.. Buell." Others say, "Well, like
Ell. Durant and have nothing against
Albert Schetfer. but am going to vote
for Mr. Dixie, for Treasurer, whether he
is a candidate or not" We reply, .'then
go and tell the convention how you feel
and get them to endorse Durant and
nominate Dixie"
What is wanted at Owatonna is not a
set of men who will 60 there determined
to endorse all the Opposition ticket, or
a set of men determined to endorse none
of that ticket. but men who will look
the whole ground over. dispassionately
and calmly and do whatever is best to be
done under all the circumstances.

WHAT THE ANTI -WONOPOLY PAR
TT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.


The Industrial Age of Chicago said,
the other day:
Three years ag the States of Wisconsin and
Minnesota Were blest with large wheat crop
As soon As this was acsertained the magnptes of
two large railway corporations met III New
York and raised the price OF transporting this
large crop to the market to such a figure as
made difference to the farmers of those States
of nearly three millions of dollars. This so
aroused the people OF Wisconsin that they
elected legislature that passed such laws as
would protect the people of that state from
similar impositons as long as those laws We're
on the statue books. This was mainly effected
through the action Of the farmers who belonged
to the Oranges There has been no such arbi-
trary and oppressive rise III freights since BY
this wise and timely action, the farmers have
saved their State the last and present years at
least five millions of dollars. That is, there
will be after the present crop Is marketed, five
millions more dollars in the pockets OF the
farmers # Wisconsin and Minnesota, than
there would have been if Mitchell, Sage x Co
had been p rm'tted to have their own way, and
the old order OF things pursued. The roads, in
the mean time, have made rich returns on their
actual and fair cost. Is not this better than to
have this large sum torn from the people and
lavished OF the nabobs on the same sort who
sport their $50, 900 stables and their $50, 900
cottages at Newport, Long Branch and Sara
toga!
Very true; aud ii the railroads do not
put up the price of transportation this
fall it will simply be because they fear to
arouse the people TO desperation. Is it
not well for the corporation to feel that
there is point beyoad which they must
not go and that il is wise to treatthe pro.
ducing classes tailly.

cessful men in private or public affairs. The
accumulation Of this spendid possession, has
absorbed the greater part of Mr.. Rahilly's time
and attention since he has lived in this county;
and he has till year or two past had very little
to do with public affairs, more than to attend
at elections and exercise his citizens privileges.
But within year or two he interested himself
more, and attended county and State conven-
tions, and ran for, and was elected a member Of
the House of Representatives for the year 1874.
from his Ia strong Republican, district, and
served his term with honor to himself and
credit to his constituency.
Mr. Rahilly is a native of Ireland, and came
to this country with his parents at an early age
and resided with them in the States of New
York and Pennsylvania until attaining man
hood he embarked on the sea of life as the oars
man of own boat. He first settled in Olmstead
county in this State in the year 1860, and sub
sequently removed to this county. His educa-
tional advantages like, those of many of our
successful citizens in private and public life,
We're limited--equal to our common public
school, and acquired in his native country,
and have been enhanced and increased by the
constant reading and reflection OF maturer years.
He is in fact the growth encouraged by our
system and laws, where the energies of man
may compensate for the disadvantages or dis
abilities of early life.
Mr. Rahilly is man OF comprehensive mind
quick IN perception ana ready talker, and a
keen, alive, wide awake business man, who if
elected will be capable of understanding the
duties of his position, and OF recommending to
the Legislature inpro ements in the manage
ment of his office, and will know every detail
of the business OF the Auditor. office, and will
infusea energy into its conduct that will be
refreshing to see.

port from the reople of this county, who are
witnesses of his successful endeav ors, since his

PROTECTING AMERICAN INDUS

"Were we to raise the wages and shorten the

stringent as those that cause the seasons
to return or the planets to move in their
respective orbits" This, sir, being the
case, it is plainly our duty to find out
what those laws are, and by strictly obey
ing them, to find that blessing which we
miss by disfegarding them. 1t is clear we
can 80 act in respect of them as to suffer
loss by our action. Take, as an %illuStra-
ton, the act of a number of rats gnawing
through the supports over a we'll. The
rats will fall into the we'll by reason OF
their so acting. If trees are conducive to
the falling Of rain and we cut them down,
or neglect to plant them, we, in like man
ner, suffer the evil consequences OF our
mistaken conduct. My theory is this, that
where you have q country, like Barbados,
devoid Of mountains, and denuded OF trees,
that there you are likely to suffer from
droughts. And for this reason-the land
of q country so circumstanced becomes so
heated by the SUMS rays that o column OF
hot air ascends into the atmosphere, and
absorbs there all the moisture that would
otherwise have descended in rain. At one
time | thought that mountains, by their
height attracted the clouds, but my
opinion now is hat where you have high
mountains you have many valleys into
which the rays Of the sun cannot pene-
trate-that the temperature of these valleys
thus becomes colder than the upper re-
gions, and that this GOODNESS, like the cold
ness under a plumber of trees, acts like a
glass oflced water would act in this room,
causing the upper atmosphere to condense
on the colder below, as the invisible mois-
ture of this room would condense on the
sides Of the iced glass Of water. There is
another circumstance which perhaps has
caused this island to suffer of late years
from droughts. We have been draining the
land too freely. The planters are opening
sucks to enable the rainfall to find its way
quickly to the sea. The effect Of this is to
deprive the earth Of that lower tempera-
ture which would tend to produce a fur
Their condensation Of rain upon it. We
should endeavour, sir, by the planting OF
trees, to counteract the efforts Of this IN
creased drainage of the land. For the
reasons I have given, sir, | have much
pleasure in scconding the bill.

100000, in 910 shares. The scheme
has been undertaken by the right people,
says the Mail, and Of its being energeti-
cally carried out there can be little doubt.
The Suit between the West India Tele-
graph Company and the India Rubber
Company has been compromised by an
agreement between the parties, and the
case will therefore not be taken into court.
The official tables of the production and
movement of sugars indig6nes (Beet Su-
gar) to November 80, give the actual re-
suits Of the campaign so far. The produc-
ton, estimated by the quantity taken in
charge, is 232, 900, 900 of kilos, against
900, 100000 last year !; but 100000 of
the surplus is due entirely to the unusual
activity of the manufacturer this season.
The quantity Of juice extracted shows a
surplus Of 6.397,753 hectoIitres in excess
of the previous year, but it has the same
density $50, and will only furnish the
proportional quantity Of syrup. The
quality of the beetroot is variable. On
the whole it closely resembles that Of the
previous campaign.
