HOME INSURANCE.

The policy OF home insurance compan-
los among the farmers seems to be work
ing we'll. Mons 5. Urevig writes to the
Red Wing Republican from the town OF
Leon in Goodhue county:
The farmers Of the town OF Leon and adjoln-
ing tow lis have associated themselves together
tor mutual insurance, according to our state
law of 1875 authorizing the formation OF town
insurance companies" This company is to
have the name OF 1.-The Leon Fire Insurance.
Company" for the purpose OF insuring dwell
fngs and farm property Of all kinds while on
tho premises. Iexpect that farmers this way
will find a good deal cheaper insurance than by
patronzing foreign stock companies; and even
II the rate.shal be as high as that of other com
pSnieS (which experience has proved not to be
the easel We shall not need to pay any more
money than the actual loss: thus avoiding to
make rich few stockholders at the expense
OF the farmer. And the money would go d-
rect from the members to the loser, and there
fore remain among us III our towns.
1t is only a little over month since we COM
mmced to organize it, aud We have now over
&55, 900 worth Of property insured. And WI
suppose that we will soon get over S2OO.Wt
dollars insured.

HOW SPECIE PAYMENTS CAN BE
RESUMED AT ONCE.

We are glad to see that that ably con-
Quoted journal, the Northwestern aron-
icle. has not been misled BY the vulgar,
shallow cries Of the daily press upon the
financial question. 1t quotes on it. first
page the following pregnant utterances
from tie New York Daily Bulletin:
At ore tins Or another we have had perhaps
ffty different proposals for making bonds =
part OF the machinery Of resumption. In nine
:enths OF the cases, tbs idea has ben to Lake
them means OF cancelling legal tenders; but
in ali these instances no practicable means has
been provided By which the pace Of the re-
tired notes would b. filed by some other Legal
tender. and, under all such proposals, thsre-

ume would be the most efectual Of all possible
methods Of defeating resumption itself. This
the people well enough comprehend; and hence
the shrinking from . resumption to be effected
through permanent conversions of greenbacks
into bonds felt BY all except a small minority
who would obviously be benefited by the COM
mercial revulsion that would follow.
There is nevertheless way in which bonds
may be so employed as to immensely diminish
the difficulties connected with resumption.
Let it be supposed, for instance, that the Gov
eminent be empowered to issue bond Of such
character as would command at all times its
face value in gold; such bond to BE- issued on
" in exchange for an equal sum OF legal ten
der notes, and to be reconvertlble at the option
Of the holder into the notes received on its is
sue. The effect of such an offer on the part OF
the Government would be to put greenbacks
at par in gold. That is to say, as the gfeenbacks
could be exchanged at par for something that
would command just the same amount i'll gold
their purchasing power would inmed' ately as
simulate to that of gold The certainty Of this
effect cannot be disputed: and it is therefore
within tae ability Of the Government. to bring
its notes to par any day when it p.eases to do so
This is very clear. 1t is incontroyert-
ible:
l. The Republican programme of re.
sumption will destroy the instrumental
| tiles OF trade and commerce, aud leave
! the people without currency.
IL There is no necessity for such ;
programme if the object is to MAKE
greenbacks and gold Of equal value tina
end can be attained by making the green
backs convertible into ! bond worth q
much as good.

per cent more TO the price to cover his interest
and when the lady goes to purchase a pair Of
shoes instead of paying ten dollars for them
she pays thirty per cent more for interest, or
thirteen dollars. And this applies to every
thing we buy.
Interest is tackled upon every pound OF
groceries we take into our kitchens, every gar
lnent We wear upon our b1cks, upon our tax
bills, our church pew, and upon our graves.
Our railroads cost double what they should be-
cause OF enormous interest. There is ten per
cent. at the furnace, ten per cent at the rolling
mill. and so on until railroad represents two
dollars for every dollar that has been invested
and consequently there are two dollars to d
supported by the industries OF the country
when there should be but one. The result 1
that every passenger who rides mnst pay a9aG !;
transported must pay double rates. Thus thE
matter Of interest is a two edged sword, which
generally cuts both ways.

vention We were not there because We had
no business there, and because we could not
afford to spend time and money, when we
would accomplish no good for Ourselves or
others. Grange Afvance.
Young is like the old deacon and the
Maine Liquor Law he is in favor OF the
.reenback theory, but opposed TO put
tine it in force. He reminds It's vi IN
anecdotc:
"Old Dinahr was 4 shouting colored
saint in South Carolina who always vel
led ..ylory" louder than one else IN the
congregation When the collection was
taken up, it was Dinah's invariable Gus
tom to throw her head back. shut her
eyes and sing away for dear life the

ANYTHING into the plate. The able col
lector observing this practice stopped
one night right in front OF Oman. and.
holding the plate under her nose. SAID ;
Now look ahear, Dinah. what's de
use OF singing Fly abroad. dou mighty
gospelP' why de debbil don't you glib her
something to make her fly?
Young is satisfied that the mighty COS.
pei of greenbacks should fly abroad. but
he is unwilling Ito spend time and
money when he can accomplish no good
for hinsselt-or others" What meek
aiterthought that was :-'.or others!"
We will put prophecy on record t
wit that Young will support the he

should adopt the strongest kind Of con

good and sufficient reasons for tina
