try and when you reduce its volume you
reduce the vital force of the country.
We all want resumption at the prop
er time, but it must be allowed to come
by the regular laws of trade. You can't
legislate that a paper dollar shall be
worth dollar in gold, any more than
you can legislate that bushel of wheat
shall be worth gold dollar. The only
way to bring about resumption is to Gre
ate a large supply of gold and small
demand for it, by largely increasing your
exports and bringing home at least half
Of that foreign debt. When we can get
q commercial balance in Europe sufi-
cient to pay the foreign interest, resump-
ton will come and stay, but without it
resumption will be but temporary, and
will again be followed by disaster.
Let us go to work in this matter earn
estly, create public opinion and let our
members Of congress hear from US.

Zumbrota Letter.

, ZUMBRorA, MIMI, May IA, '76.
Mr.. Editor Of Grange Advance:
I thought I would write you a few
lines from our aourishing little town Of
Zumbrota.
Farmers, having got through their
seeding, are planting their corn.
Mr.. H. F. Armstrong stnrts for
Stevens county, on the 22d, with three
teams, to do some breaking on his sec.
ton of land.
Mr.. Earnest Hogan, formerly of
Chambersburg, Mo-, started for the
Black Hills last week.
Mr.. 0. Bruce has just received $500
lbs. Of maple sugar from the State OF
Vermont. F. E. Mayhem tried his
muscular power recently by knocking a
man down couple of times.
The last we heard from our friend J.
c. Douglas, he was at Fort Benton,
Wyoming territory.
My pa takes your paper and like to
read it. Pa and ma belong to the
grange.
If you will print these few lines l will
write again. I am little girl nine
years old, and have two sisters and two
brothers older than myself.
Yours truly, NELLY BREBEL.

Why Farmers Must Cooperate

Some of the reasons can be given in
a very few words:
l. No movement Of any extent, no
matter how obscure the origin, ever
succeeded without Cooperation.
2. By Cooperation, the prices Of
produce are kept down by the purchas-
ers; and only by Cooperation can this
oppression be successfully Offset.
3. To have a voice in the control of
the productive market, farmers must
reach out moreover to England, if
necessary-for England and Europe
control the markets Of this country
much more than some Of our would-be
wise men are willing to admit.
4. Isolation and the living exclu.
sive]y on their own farms as it were,
have brought the agricultural commu-
nifty of the greater part Of the country
into the "common property" condition
thev are in to.day-a condition which
makes them the victims for everybody
to pluck:
tage of the grange, but allow it to die
out, it ia doubtful if agriulturalists will
ever have sufficient courage to cooper
ate again-and. then their latter condi'
ton will be worse than the first.
Therefore, farmers everywhere, co
operate. Don't be put of by you'
village store-keeper, or any body else
unless you find it to be your own sober
sensible judgment. But as that must
say, "Join the graDge!" unless YOU
are already in; there 10 no fear, if you

THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN,
BY M. r. X.

BY NJ. +. X.
There's a beautiful land where angels sing,
Where cherubs float on snow wing;
A realm of bliss is that region above
- Oh, say, can I go to that Eden Of Love.
There's beautiful city where all is light,
Beautiful gates Of pearly white,
While from the throne flows q crystal stream,
And the tree Of life on its margin is seen.
Mansions are there for the good and blest,
Where the weary one finds perfect rest:
Saints Of all ages are gathered there
0, may join them is my fervent prayer.
Christ, the arisen, who died man to save,
Hears the petitions we humbly crave.
Bids US walk in his footsteps, look ever above
When redeemed We may dwell in that
Eden of Love.

The Creenback Convention.

This convention met at Indiana?-
oils, Ind, on the 18th inst, and
adopted the following platform:
The independent party is called into
existence by the necessities of the peo-
pie whose industries are Frustrated,
whose labor is deprived Of its just re-
ward by a ruinous policy which the Re-
publican and Democratic parties refuse
to change; and in view of the failure Of
these parties to furnish relief to the
depressed industries of the country,
thereby disappointing the just hopes
and expectations of a suffering people,
we declare our principles and invite all
independent and patriotic men to join
our ranks in this movement for fnan-
cial reform and industrial emancipation.
First. We demand the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the specie
resumption act Of January ii, 1875, and
the rescue Of industries from the ruin
and disaster resulting from it's enforce
ment, and we call upon all patriotic
men to organize in every Congressional
district Of the country with the view of
electing representatives to Congress who
will carry out the wishes Of the people
in this regard, and stop the present
suicidal and destructive policy Of con-
traction.
Second. We believe that United
States note, issued directly by the gov
eminent and convertible on demand into
United States obligations bearing low
rate Of interest, not exceeding one cent
a day on each one hundred dollars, ami
re-exchangeable for United States notes
at par, will afford the best circulating
medium ever devised. Such United
notes should be full legal tender for
all imposts except for the payments of
such obligations as arc By existing con-
tracts expressly made payable in coin;
and we hold that it is the duty Of the
government to provide such circula-
ton restored to the nation to whom it
belongs.
=, Third. 1t is the paramount duty of
the government, in all its legislation, to
keep in view the full development of all
legitimate Observation-Disclosures, min
ing, manufacturing and commercial.
Fourth. We most earnestly protest
against any further issue of gold bonds,
for sale in foreign markets, by which
we would be made for a long period
hewers of wood ard drawers Of water to
Foreigners, especially, as the American
people would gladly and promptly take
ut par all the bonds the government may
need to sell, provided they are made
payable at the option Of the holder and
bearing interest at 3.65 per cent. per
annum, or even lower rate.
Fifth. We further protest against
the sale Of government bonds for the
purpose Of purchasing silver to be used
as substitute for our more convenient
and less fuctuating fractional currency,
which, although we'll calculated to en-
rich the owners of silver mines, yet in
operation it will still further Cypress in
taxation an already overburdeped peo-
pie.
A subsequent resolution against rail-
road subsidies was also adopted.
On the 18th the convention nom-
mated Peter Cooper, of New York,
for President, and Newton
Booth, Of California, for Vice Pres
ident, both of whom are excellent

renton Letter.


Ed. Aduance:- small grain is all
sown and the farmers are now planting
corn. Owing to the failure of that crop
last year, more oats have been sown
than usual and less corn will be planted.
How farmers do like to follow the mar.
-xets. If wheat brings good price and
is fair yield, they all will 60 for wheat
the next year. The same with corn
md potatoes. Indeed every thing.
Corn can be raised with as much profit,
at half the price of wheat, on light soil.
If we had the management Of farms
that are worn out, we would not be SOW
ing wheat everlastingly. We would
have diversity Of crops. Now pota-
toes is paying crop, but if every far.
mer goes to raising potatoes, we all
know it would not pay. We mean to
raise little of everything. 1t helps
the land to change the crops, and one
great trouble with farmers in this section
is that they take all they can get from
The ground but put little On it. Every
one knows that garden would be
nothing without it was enriched. just
give the field like chance and note the
effect. Why go to California, Texas or
the Black Hills: We have got as good
land here and stand as good a show of
getting gold, but not as good a chance
Of catching fevers, scalp-iifters, ETC., too
numerous to mention.
Enrich your worn out farms. The
cost of emigration would do it and you
would have something that is real.
But if you wish to emigrate, 20 east and
purchase farms that have been desert
ed. You will make more, and expert
ence less danger. Money is not 50 cas-
ily found. We have heard that there are
rivers Of milk and honey away of west,
but they are too far west. Don't be
too ambitions Of getting fortune as
soon rs you move west. The world 8
greatest men have lost all they had
(and sometimes their heads) by being
too ambitious.
These are our sentiments. We do
not favor any one going west to the
Black Hills, or any where else. Times
are changing. There was time when
itmight have paid, but that is past.
Let US build our homes here. Let us
make ourselves content. Without this
we cannot be happy, and unless farm.
er is content and happy, he will not
thrive. According to the old proverb we
expect fair harvest. "a wet and a
windy May fills barns full of corn and
hay"
Our grange still! holds true to the
Order. An interesting meeting was
held last Saturday. A goodly number
were present and new members are
joining. They propose to build hal
next year. This would be great ad
vantage to them. We are pleased to see
the order succeed as the farmers have
been oppressed long enough.

tennial. Its a girl. TRENToS1TE.
