If people would write what l want

If people would write what I want
to write I would not bother you, but I
am impatient and shall wait no longer.
An article written by Trentonite; (and
here let me thank him for letters in the
ADVANCE. I wish there were more like
him;) seems to show a difference
in marketing wheat from other produce.
I have noted this difference for many
years. Why is it that for wheat there
is regular price? All know the price
Of wheat, but for a!l other produce there
is variation enough, I should think, to
to satisfy the nav Of most any middle
man. A farmer takes his produce to
market and must be satisfied with the
lowest price, while the humble consumer
must pay the highest price,-all ut the
same time and places. Now propose,
for remedy for this, that the Grange in
Red Wing appoint a regular market day
and place, so that the producer and con-
sumner can meet on common grounds
and have fair competition. One more
suggestion: why does not the Pomona
Grange do its work by committees, SIM
liar to the Farmers Institute Of New
York City? What is every body's bus
mess is no body's business, and if a
brother won't do the work appointed
him, put an other in his place. If this
is acceptable I may write again, show
ing why's and wherefores.

Hope and Faith.

Pope says. "Hope ever buoyant in
the human breast, man never is but
always to be blessed
We over here in Bay City are the
most hopeful people in the world; and,
in fact, the most patient. Have we not
been waiting years for a city to grow
up here; and yet it don't grow up worth
a cent. Have we not been waiting pa
t;ent!y fer some Capitalist to come and
give us push; and though they don't
come we aren't mad. We know they
will come some day. Then, look at
New York, Chicago, and St. Louis.
Wen show you a city as is a city.
Talk of cathedrals. Well have the big
gest in the world, and such spires, as
will stick up here, an! 1t makes US
laugh to think Of them.
We can't boast of much now, it is true.
Six houses, half Of them empty, aren't
much to boast OF, we know, but then,
Just think Of our resources. Land!
We have rs excellent quality Of that
article as is to be found on the continent,

what tickles US. You fellows over there
in Red Wing can boast Of court house.
What's Il court house? Humph! Just
you wait till our City Hall is built, and
Crystal Palace, for the next centennial
celebration in the United States; then
talk CT court houses to US. Well turn
our back towards you without giving
you u look.
We don't expect TO have maritime
city here; for nature b!undered and got
the channel on the other side Of the
river. What we expect is, it is to be the
centre Of the most magnificent railroad
system in the world. Boston the hub?
Well, that may be: But understand

Cheaper Production is Higher
Price.

If a bushei Of wheat or i pair Of
shoes can be produced by one days
labor, and sold for l. dollar, the dollar is
the value Of the days labor. If we can
by improved methods Of working, Or
grea:er skill o. activity, produce two
bushels nt wheat, OF two pairs Of shoes,
by days labor, and still sell them for
Il dollar each, the value Of the labor is
two dollars We have then doubled
the value Of ORR labor, without increas-
ing the cost Of it: consequently if the
cost Ct living remains the same, our
profit IS doubled. The shoemaker and
many other mechanics, have succeeded
py the exercise Of Increased skill in
their work in thus doubling their pro-
duet, without u responding decrease
in the price Of their goods. The farm
er has not succeeded in doing SO much
rs this, although By the Use Of drills,
harvesters, and thre$hing machines, it
costs him less in labor to produce a
bushei Of whea: than formerly. But
the most laborious part Of his work is
not cheapened, nor is there any proba-
bility that it soon will be. But the
work may be made to cost less, prac-
tlcaliy, if we can make it more effective.
If we pillow an acre Of barren soil, we
lose our labor altogether, and the cost
is exactly equal to the value of the
labor expended, because there is no re-
turn. If We pillow IN acre Of ground
which produces a crop worth exactly the
cost Of the labor, the labor is paid for,
but there is no profit. If the ground is
rich enough to produce Il crop double
the value Of the labor expended, the prof.
it is equal to 100 per cent. upon the ex-
penditure. The way to better profits
very clearly lies in the direction Of en-
riching the soil. This is the whole
secret. What we then produce will
cost but half what it formerly did, and
We therefore get double price for our
crop, which merely represents 80 much
labor. There is no fear that this meth
oil vii! be worked out, nor danger that
the yield Of grain will be doubled IT, a
very short time. There is every GER
tainty that those few farmers who will
succeed IN making their farms produce
double the former crops, will not be
forced TO receive 4 less price for what
they have to sell. They have every op-
