MILD APPROVAL,

The Madelia Times, (Republican,)
says in its last issue:
Ignatius Donnelly plays the demagogue, we
all know, but we think he made some sensible
points in the Democratic and Liberal Re
publican convention last week. though his
suggestions were not accepted. What we re-
fer to was two resolutions which he introduced,
as follows:
Here follow our two resolutions as
to the withdrawal of the greenbacks
and the substitution OF national bank
notes therefor. &c.
We too. cannot see why our greenback cur
rency, with the same pledge--tbat OF the gov
erniAent to back it's not just as good to trans
act our business with, as the national cum en-
cy ISIS, ed upn security OF government bonds
upon which we pay such large sum in inter
est every year. This interest goes in the pOck-
cts ef capitalists Of all parties, and comes, in
directly, out Of the people. As regards that
measures we think Donnelly is sound.
We are glad to see that the .grasshop-
pers have so far eaten away the Preju-
dices of the editor of the Times that he can
see that something good can come out

THE SOvEREICNs OF INDUSTRY.


There is very powerful organization
among the working men of the United
States, working in parallel lines with the
Changers, to improve their condition
They seem to be effecting, like the Gran
gers, great reduction in the cost Of liv-
ing. We would be glad to hear from
the representatives Of the Order in Min
nesota. We quote thelollowing from the
Chicago Industrial Age:
Many would like to know just " hat is being
omplished Ly our order-what are its praC-
teal results Wen, we are making saving on
almost all kinds OF goods, as well as getting
better qualities than formerly, as we buy, as
near as possible, from first hands. One Coun-
ell reports pure hnses during March Of grocer
| les amounting to $4OO, and dry goods $40, on
| which 1t saved ID per cent: also four carloads
of coal at discount Of one dollar per ton, and
Is to 80 barrel, OF flour per month at whole
sale prices, direct from the mills.
Another Council reports savincs on grocer
les Of 10 to ID per cent, on the average, while
on those articles which we do not buy ut whole
sale we have made arrangements which enable
Us to get from dealers ut about One-half the
| usual profit Traders say that it costs 10 p0I
cent to handle goods, but we have found By
actual exp rience that it can be done for or
per cent. The Rocbdale Society Of Equitable
Pioneers report the cost Of distributing goods,
for the las, quarter, at SIX per cent. II will
| thus be seen that our theories Of reform are
bearing important fruits, lessening the cost q
living and increasing by SO much the wealth
| Of the laboring classes.
