This company has now been or
ganized nearly four yeaIs they
LA re nearly 100000 insured, and
had no luss whatever. This is cheap
insurance, and even should the com
pany meet with a $4,000 loss this
year the cost to insurers viii only be
y per cent. per annum. Not much
in advance Of what they would have
had to pay for same amount sf in-
surance in any stock company But
it is not probable that Slo,00 losses
will be incurred ih one year; and
should the company escape entirely
another four years, the cost Of insnr-
ance to It's members, If then n So:
loss is. sustained, will be less per
cent than they could get insurance
for in any responsible company 1T
is matter of wonderment that more
Of the farmers of Linden are not
members Of the company; and that
other towns do not organize in the
same way.

OTTAWA FREE TRADER: SATURDAY, JULY $, 1876.


There is no more pure and thoroughly hon.
est statesman in this nation today than
Charles Francis Adams. He had always
been republican until the corruptions OF
Grantism disguised him. To save the repub.
lican party, he strongly advocated the nom.
ination of Bristow at Cincinnati, but the rings
of that party not daring to trust vigorous
and honest rcformer, cast him overheard, and
now Adams sees no hope for the country save
in the election of Tilden. To an interviewer
of the Boston Herald he said:
With Mr. Tiden and this platform the dem.
ocratic party stands better, morally, before
the people than does the republican party.
Hayes Is nothing; respectable, no doubt, but
without any record as reformer.
Tilden is in himself platform. lie has
made his record. would infinitely prefer
to see MrTilden in the executive chair. His
foes are jobbers and corrupt men, He Will
have hidden enemies to encounter in the
coming campaign. The Evolutionary disci'
pine of the democratic party,-however, the
party pride and inclination, will cause all
democrats to fall into line for Mr.. Tilden.
Mr.. Adams also said he thought Mr.. Tilden
would carry his own state. The independent
vote will probably divide, those voters with
republican predictions going for Hayes,
However, Gov. Tilden will secure the support
OF the opponents of corruption who desire to
see real work accomplished.

SOUR GRAPES.

The attempt of the Ottawa Republican to
bclittle the democratic ratification meeting
at Ottawa week ago has an oder OF sour
grapes about 1t that is infinitely divertlng.
How many guns were fired and how much
enthusiasm was manifested in Ottawa over
the nomination Of Hayes and Wheeler? The
Republican, knows very well that not five dol
lars could have been raised for powder, and
not fifty voters could have been collected in
the court house square, or anywhere else, 10
ratty or do honor to that nomination. On
the contrary, Disguised republicans stood on
every corner, and their hard swearing was
equal to that of "our army in Flanders
There was and is no enthusiasm among the
faithful in Ottawa for Wheeler and Hayes or
Hayes and Wheeler whether the front OF the
hinder part OF the kangaroo is placed first
makes no ditference), and in spite of the Wig
orous whistling and piring and blowing OF
the Republican, none can be evoked, and that's
what's the matter.
Bat the Repujl1can, in its chagrin at the
contrast between the chIlliness with which
its party received the Hayes nomination and
the enthusiasm shown by the democrats over
that of Tilden, makes itself ridiculous and
contemplate by its silly falsehoods about the
democratic meeting There is no truth in
the statement that preparations had been
making all day for the meeting; or in the in
timation that Judge Cation told falsehood in
saying that his speech was unprecedented;
or III the statement that but 200 people were
present, or that the list of orators was all
fixed up beforehand; or, in short, in any ma
terial Statement of the Republicans whole
column on the subject. II is made up of a
tissue Of petty falsehoods, both foolish and
absurd, because everybody that was present
knows they are falsehoods, and none but a.
fool tells lies that every body knows are such.

can leaders manifest so much concern about
the removal Of Yaryan.
YARYAN.

Indispu,ably one Of the most disgraceiul
acts OF Grants, or any other administration,
was the removal from Office of II. 1. Iaryan,
chief of the division of treasury agents at
Washington. His position gave him the
principal charge Of the prosecutions against
the whiskey thieves, and in that vigorous but
strangely INSTRUCTED and finally collapsed at.
tempt of Secretary Bristow to purify the
party within the party" at least SO far as the
collection of the internal revenue was con
cerHed, both Bristow, on his retirement, and
Int Rev. Commissioner Pratt bear the
warmest testimony to the pre-eminent faith,
fullness and efficiency Of Yaryan. But the
whisky ringsrers hated him like poison, and
that hatred seemed strangely TO be shared by
Grant While Bristow remained in the cabi
net, however, Grant had to smother his hatred,
knowing very well that an attempt on his
part to remove Yaryan would cause an in.
slant row. But no sooner had Bristow stepped
down and out than went Oft Yaryans head
!" quick as lightning"
The pretex. set up by Grants friends for
the atrocious actor Grant himself condo.
ceuds to offer no explanation-is that Yaryan
had procured the removal Of a special agent
a one-armed soldier, who had been pet OF
Grants and appointed at his instance. OF
course it goes for nothing that Iaryan proves
this special agent to have been corrupt tool
in the hands Of the whisky ring, In short,
all parties at Washington interpret Yaryans
removal as proof that the whisky ring have
returned in force to recover the damage done
them during Bristow's reign and that Grant
is on their side.
There is, consequently, say the Washington
dispatches, CONSERVATION in the republican
ranks All the promises of reform within
the party invented at Cincinnati are in fair
way of beng utterly disproved by the admin
lstration. Terrified by the palpably adverse
effect Mr.. Yaryan's removal made upon tie
country, protests and prayers have been pour.
ing in upon prominent republicans to wreste
with Grant and cause him to relinquish his
spites until after the election" But Grants
stubborness is proverbial ana if all the COZ.
vic.ed whisky thieves are not pardoned b.
fore Novem Der and the ring restored to all lis
pristine power, it will be only because the
republican leaders have STAYED it off until
alter the election by standing over Grant
with clubs in their hands.

A change Of parties in the national admin

A change Of parties in the national admin
istration is q necessity. But for such a
change in the house of representatives at
Washington the country to this day would
be ignorant OF the rottOnness that prevails in
every department of the government The
democratic majority In the house, however,
have been able to lift but corner of the veil.
Every branch of the government except the
house, instead of assisting in uncoverng
frauds has been assiduously engaged in hid
ing them, SO that the house at every point
of It's Investigations has been hindered and
obstructeu Yet in spite of these hlndrances,
it has been shown that almost every republi.
can otticeholder is an official thief. Every
where, from Washington to the remotest
frontiers; from the custom house in New
Orleans to the revenue Offices in Chicago,
republicanism has been engaged IN bold
robbery, in downright swindling. Cabinet
ministers, senators, postmasters, collectors,
gaugers, or what not, wherever there has
been a republican official there has nearly
always been found q republican thief.
To uncover all this corruption fully, and
TO root it out, the democratic party must have
entire possession of the government with q
strong, vigorous, thorough and fearless re.
former like Tilden to lead them on.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, of all the demo.
cratic papers in the country, was the ablest
and most persistent In its opposition TO the
nomination of Tilden, yet the party having
made its choice of him at St. Louis, the I'm.
quirer gracefully yields TO tho will Of the
majority and falls into line as follows:
We prefer Tilden to Hayes, and
shall advise the democratic organization TO
stand by the nominees. We
shall feel 1t our duty to counsel harmony, for
the organization Of the democratic party
must be preserved. 1t Is the only organiza.
ton through which certain great principles
will be established and certain great reforms
brought about. 1t has disappointed US In
some particulars, but we do not feel called
upon TO encourage the enemies OF the party
who have counted largely upon division We
can extend no comfort TO such. The incon.
gruous elements Of therepubllcan party have
united upon Hayes, suppressing their differ
ences, and subjecting all questions to the one
paramount question. There is nothing for
the democratic party TO do but close the ranks
and move forward 10 the music prepared at
