The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-05-31

To those gentlemen in New
York, Boston and Washington who
are kindly furnishing US editorial
articles lauding their respective can
didates for the presidency, we take
this occasion to return our sincere
thanks. We are now amply supplied
with articles commendatory of
Messrs. Blaine, Conkling, Morton,
Bristow, Hendricks, Tilden and
Hays, and, also, with articles abus-
ing each and all Of these gentlemen :;
and if our friends shall think it worth
while to favor US with a continu-
ance Of their effusions, we would
suggest that they turn their atten-
ton to Gen. Hancock, Mr.. WASH
burn, Gen. Butler and some other
less noted aspirants. We shall not,
however, publish any of these arti-
cles, as it is not our custom to deal
in secondhand goods.

The latest alleged exposure at
Washington is that Of Mr. Kerr,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives. One Lawrence Harney swore
positively in Mr.. Kerr's presence,
that he paid Mr. Kerr $3.50 in 1866
for his aid in procuring the appoint
ment of A. P. Green to a lieuten-
ancy in the army. The records of
the war department show that Green
was appointed at Kerrs request,
and, as Green is from New York
while Kerr is from Indiana, and as
the parties did not know each other
even at the time the appointment
was obtained, the circumstances
certainly tend to confirm Harney's
statement. Kerr positively denies
the accusation under oath, but does
not say what prompted him to ask
Green's appointment. To say the
least it looks badly for Mr.. Kerr.

Mr.. T. M. Lowater, whom we
announced as having arrived here
last week from Morris, on a "busi-
ness" visit, gave us glowing de-
scription of the progress of tree
planting in Stevens county and the
counties further west on the line of
the St. Paul and Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Leonard B. Hodges, who is fur
nishing cuttings" for nearly all that
region, told Mr. Lowater that he
had sold this season over 600, 900
cuttings to parties living west of
Willmar, and had set out on Mr..
Geo. L. Becker's farm 6o,ooo trees.
All that have been set out are re-
ported to be doing well. The prac-
tice is to put out soft wood trees
first, as these are the more rapid
growers, then follow in subsequent
seasons with sugar-maple, ash, wal
nut, butternut and some other vari-
cites. The walnuts are grown from
the seed and, perhaps, some other
varieties. The hard naples are
transplanted, and the cottonwoods,
willows, soft naples, basswoods, &C.,
are produced from cuttings.
Mr.. .Lowater says that farming is
progressing rapidly in Stevens coun-

Financial and Commercial.

In a recent number of the New York
Sun is an editorial on the financial sit
uation of the country, which surprised
ms. The writer undertook to account for
the fact that plenty Of money is Offering
on call loans at 2@211: per cent, that
the banks are full to repletion, and
that capitalists are anxious to invest.
In the mean time labor is cheap and a
large proportion Of it unemployed. In
all the large cities thousands of able
bodied laborers are idle and themselves
and families forced to depend upon
charity, but they cannot find employ
ment at any price. The Sun writer
proceeds to say that ordinarily such a
combination of circumstances could not
exist. That capitalists and business
men would take advantage of the cheap
labor Offering and make improvements
in real estate, and build mills, factories,
railroads, etc.; but they avoid such
enterprises now because of the unsettled
values Of property and uncertain pros
poets. He attributes this want Of
stability in values and favorable pros
poets Of the future to the overtradine,
extravaganza and excessive production
of the past, but does not attempt to
specify what he means by such accusa-
tions.
He evidently perceives that the true
cause of the trouble is our absurd finan-
cial system, but being an advocate of
the national banks and specie basis
theory dares not extend his line of ar
gument to its natural conclusion. He
says, however, that although there is
plenty of money to be had on availa-
BILE collaterals, such az government
bonds and other saleable securities, bus
mess men cannot borrow, even on
mortgages on city property, at such
rates us will justify them in using bor-
rowed capital in their business; and
even western lands are not regarded by
capitalists generally as safe securities
for more than one-third or one-fourth of
their present valuation. The reason is
clear to every intelligent man who will
think the matter over. If the specie

Gen. James H. Baker has pub.
lished lengthy defense of his con-
duct in the Blakely-Sweet black
mailing transaction, and reiterates
that his conduct towards Miss Sweet
was prompted by galzantryI We
have no doubt Of this. Gen. Jim is
a gallant gentleman, as every body
knows. His recent separation from
his wife, as reported in the St. Paul
papers, is positive demonstration
of this. We think we have heard
of similar gallants. Have read Of
them in police reports. OF men
who would allow "a woman to sup
port them wholly, in order that they
might have leisure to- devote their
whole time to her. But to an or
dinary man it does seem that it
would have been greater gallantry
on Jim's part, if he had relieved
Miss Sweet from responsibility for
Dave Blakely's defalcations, which
he knew that she had been led to
assume through the false 1epresen-
tations of Blakely. 1t was an easy
matter, at the time, for him to do
this, and thus, while protecting her,
compel Blakely to make good his
deficit or suffer the consequences.
This plea of gallantry comes with a
bad grace from Jim Baker, especial
ly at this time. Two such gigantic
acts Of devoted gallantly are too
much for any one mans reputation.
But Jim has certainly recovered from
his gallantry, for in his defence he
endeavors to lay the whole blame
on Miss Sweet and save Dave and
himself.

The partizan papers are felici-
tating themselves that the third par
ty movement is dead. They remind
us Of the old story about two sons,
who were brothers, and one, who
was their half-brother, of a wealthy
gentleman of olden times. The old
gentleman was near deaths door and
the two sons, in order to save the
entire estate to themselvs, hired a
ruffian to decoy their half brother
into a swamp and murder him. The
fellow did the job, as he supposed,
and his conscience troubled him so
greatly that he peached, and the
three were hung together; mean
while the old man got we'll and the
half-brother, recovering form his in
juries and regaining his reason, be-
came heir to the entire estate.

and although the bill duly audited by the Board Of
