. GAMBLING IN FUTURES.

We call attention to a paragraph from
the New Orleans Times in regard to
gambling in futures. This has grown to
be the monster evil of the age. 1t is de.
moralizing the people in all the walks of,
life. Its absorbing capital that should be
cooperating with labor in the industrial
pursuits. It,monopolizes bank aceommo-
dations. II creates Fictitious prices for all
the leading articles of production, which
should be fixed by supply and demand,
1t works injury alike to producers, consu-
mers, and those whose business it is to eff
feet the exchange of products. It corrupts
and controls legislation. 1t deranges and
debauches trade I'd, 1t subsidies the press.
It corrodes the very heart of American
Christianity. Its fixing onfthe people the
chains of Central Money 7Despotismn as
intolerable .asthe Political Despotism they
are struggling to throw off, ,Iem4nG sdt
The evil is growing worse Soon all
the leading products of American industry
will be controlled, SO far as prices are con-
cerned, by a ring of New Y ork gamblers,
who neither produce, consume, nor han
die these products; and their agents and
emissaries will in the end monopolize ev-
cry branch of trade throughoutthe Union
Is there no remedy for the evil?-no
means of checking its further progress?
In these columns we have, often sug-
0eSted measures that. would MITIGATE the
evil-looking especially to the leading
product of our section. Among these are:
the production of a full supply Of food on
every farm5 home factories; cooperation
in buying and selling; the cash system;
direct trade with Europe throughiou our own
ports importing as well as exporting, to
avoid the use of New York exchange; the
purchase of their cotton supplies at the
interior towns and on the plantations by
American and English manufactures.
/ The adoption of proper financial system
by the Federal Government would also
mitigate the evil. I'll r..t.,t t...ea 80,
We say rmifigate, for it will never be
extirpated SO long as the holder of United
States bonds can deposit them as coliate-
rails and borrow money at two and, four
pei, cent per annum on call, when farmers,
merchants, and manufacturers are forced
to pay from eight to twelve. United States
bonds are the root of the evil;,l the evil
sprung up as, soon as the bonds were
planted in our financial system, The evil

THE COTTON SEED QUESTION.

We take great pleasure in, publishing
the resolutions of Pine Ridge Grange,
Adams county, Miss, in reference to- fer
tilizers, and the letter of the active and
most efficient Deputy Lecturer of that
county, Bro. S, L, Guice. The resolutions
and the letter should have the serious CON.
sideration of every Grange2in the South
west, for this question of holding or. sell
ing cotton seed is one of very great i'm
portance A large number of farmers have
no idea of the value of cotton seed as
fertilizer, and think they get good pay
when they sell it for six or eight dollars
per ton. No farmer in the cotton States
can afford to sell his seed at any price
At SIS ton tits cheap, as it is the best
The farmers of the cotton States should
take this matter in hand at once, and sub
NIT no longer to the arbitrary system of
the oil companies. These companies as
will be seen by the letter of Bro Guice,
have adopted most complete system of
cooperation, which enables them, by pre-
venting competition in the purchase of
seed, to secure their supplies of seed at a
very insignificant cost. Farmers would do
well to learn a lesson on co operation
from. these oil companies and put it in
practice. a5at saa n3a fasa sas3 9s.5
At the prices now paid for the seed, the
oil factories pay better than any business
in this country. The managers of these
factories are making immense fortunes,
while the farmers are foolishly robbing
themselves and their land of their sub
stance. Is this suicidal policy to continue
forever?f f...i., ~; I..,,.-. ......-.. ,

but one opposed it, out of dozen or more
in San Francisco am. Sacramento. In
this decisive victory II the people, we we
haveia most cheering example of what
good can be done by uniting the votes of
famers, mechanics, and their friends. Il .rl
/ The rejoicing among the. advocates of
reform throughout California is great, and
a New Constitution party is being formed
to secure the fruits of the victory.o Be-
yond question, our Grange work laid the
foundation for this success f..f..3f,r -,Il.1
/ You suggest in late issue that you
would like to hear something from me
about the introduction of Chinese labor in
the Southern States. From what have
learned of it in California, my advice
would be decidedly against it. The Chi
nese are much less. desirable race to have
among you than the Afaican. Were they
introduced, Southern farmers would no
doubt soon regret the step. So far as my
own observations go, ] should rather have
about me one darkey that has sense
enough to work and behave properly,
than two Chinese Coolies. AS regards
the feasibility of introducing them so as
to rnake.theirl labor profitable in the South,
I doubt whether it, will succeed. : They
will not do such farm work here. as sheep
herring and cooking for less than $50 per
month. Southern farmers could scarcely
afford to pay more than a third of that.
p, The great mass. OF people on this Coast,
of all classes, are. heartily sick, and tired
of Cinnamon, and the diseases and nusan-
ces they introduce wherever they go.
They are by no means a desirable addi-
tion to theSociety of any civilized country

At the Grange reunion in Shelby
county, Ohio, the thread of thought run
ming through the several speeches, was:
by Bro Albaugh, that thelife of the farm
gave Opportunities for rational pleasure,
mental Culture and reasonable profits,
eq lial or superior to. any otheremployment,
and the failure was IN the person, not the
occupation; ); that of. Bro Ogden was,
that the agricultural class constitute the
conservative element in the future of the
Republic as representing the numbers,
the distribution of wealth, and the 1diffu-
sion Of knowledge, as. the antidote to the
tendencies of the age; that of Bro. Brig
ham, the Grange work, and the salutary
Influence It was exciting on agriculture
and the agricultural class. We cannot
give an outline of the arguments, but the
three speeches fit in their proper places,
each Complement of the other. The un-
broken attention Of the audience indicated
their interest. Whenever the Lecturer OF
the Subordinate Grange. has omitted his
part of the work, we recommend either or
