hour of opening and later hour of clos

The Grangers and the Middlemen

"A very common error prevails amonE
the business men of our towns and cit.
ties that the Grange movement is ini.
micable to trade; that it contemplates
an utter destruction of what is known
as 'middlemen."
Like all other false impressions, this
falacy is stimulated by persons whose
interest it is to create a feud between
the merchant and the farmer.
The National Grange, at the annual
meeting in st. Louis, stated in the ad-
dress which was published everywhere,
that the Oranges made war upon no
industry, but that they endeavored to
do away with the surplusage of what
is known as 'middlemen" by bringing
the producer and manufacturer into
the most intimate relationship one
buying and selling directly to the other
as far as that can be practically done
with advantage to each.
But there are thousands of cases in
which it is impossible for consumer and
producer to be brought in close prox-
unity to each other and in all these there
is necessity for merchants and mid
dlemen, or traders or carriers of some
class to facilitate the exchanges, and
no set of men would be so unwise as
not to recognize this necessity.
The Grangers teach that 'sub-di-
vision of labor is the highest proof of
civilization" and therefore desire to
stimulate in every honorable way the
manufactures Of all kinds, and attempt
in every way possible to assist the la
borer and mechanic, while they dis
countenance suplus of a well-dressed
gentlemen, who, under the name of
agents and others, food the country
with high priced machinery, goods and
worthless wares, and patent medicines,
greatly to the loss and injury of the
hard working yeoman of the land

ternoon when was watching her in the
storm. 1t seemed the partner and the
eldest son of Mr.. Brandt were both OF
them quite willing to make my Rosalie
bride. She refused them repeated
ly. The partner, like an honorable
man, when he came to his senses, gave
up the matter, but young Brandt fol-
lowed her with ceaseless prosecutions.
That afternoon he had taken advant-
age of the absence of the rest of the
work-women to insult her by his con-
tlnued annoyance. He threatened her
told her her name was not free from
scandal among the tailoresses, and if
he should be on the street with her it
would ruin her. The craven declared
that he would go down the stairs, out
of the door with and follow her home.
Then it was that she arose, as / had
seen her, and with scathing words
made the fellow pCwerless. She told
him, it seems, that if he dared attempt
such an outrage, she should go directly
across the street, and demand protec-
ton and redress from one who was al
ready somewhat celebrated for legal
fame-that meant me, cousin-so you
see that we were destined to meet 1t

treme exhaustion, that brought on

How She Cured Him.

At last she completely cured him.
For months she endured the pangs so
many thousands Of young wives are
compelled TO suffer. Almost every
morning az breakfast the heartless hus-
band expressed the that he might live
to see the day when he could get such
coffee as he used to get at home, or
such corn bread as his mother was
wont to make and bake. At dinner
the meat was overbaked in the range
TO be sure his mother used 70 roast
the meet in an old-fashioned Dutch tin
oven, and the piece was always done to
turn-the last turn of the revolving
spit. Those days were forever gone.
But he might and ought 10 get such a
green apple-pie, with new cheese, as
his mother used TO give him. At
length, the long suffering wife arose in
her wrath, upset the table, sending the
dishes and their contents crushing on
the carpet, strode over to her aston
ished husband, gave him q box on the
ear which knocked him off his chair,
and remarked
There's a clip over the head for you,
such as your mother used to give you
when was boy, gol darn yer
Thereafter there was domestic peace
and quiet in the house, with never even
an allusion to the material cookery aud
comforts of bygone days.

Some of our Northern brethren are
discovering that the people of the
South, taking right view Of their own
interest, are trying to make their land
support them, and successfully direct
ing their labor into new channels. In
this connection the Brooklyn Eagle
comments at some length upon the in
crease and spread Of orange culture in
Florida, and more recently Georgia.
1t believes that in time the banks of
the Mississippi, from Memphis to New
Orleans, will be beautiful in their
green and golden dress, and where now
for miles upon miles nothing is seen
but cotton, will then be seen the bright
fruit of orange groves as a companion
picture to the white pods of the cotton
plant. Variety of product will en-
hance the value of the Southern lands,
and rotation in crops will assuredly
increase the income of the people.
The adoption of every measure that
will bring immediate prosperity is the
aim of the people, and the devoting OF
so much of their land to the nlaat;ng
orange trees is Q proof sufficient Of
their deiernlned intention to do that
which will yield them the most profit
with the least sacrifice of land and
money. With the successful culture
Of the orange will follow the expert
ment with other kinds Of more tropl-
cal fruits, and in years to come will be
developed all the resources OF the
South, which, until now, seems to have
been but half appreciated.
