Now, Senator Bayard said there was
only $oS3,I5o,oo5 of gold issued from the
United States minis from 1892 to 1877, or
about 5000 per capita.
And for the same time $I84, 2oo,o4I, or
about 1888 per capita, of silver.
Silver was virtually demonetized by the
Mcdonald amendment to the bill OF Feb.
18th, 1873, which was intended as re-
peal of the act of Feb. 18th, 1873.
Thus you see if Congress issues the
coin and the National Banks issue the
paper money, we will be perpetually IN
their power.
The coin not being commensurate with
the demands of commerce, the country
would have to depend on the Banks tor
the necessary currency for trade. And If
the United States Supreme Court should
decide against the constitutionality OF the
treasury notes, and they have to be called
in. then a long farewell to the liberty of
the masses.
To illustrate: Suppose the crops of cot
ton, tobacco, wheat, corn and meat were
coming into market, and the banks should
close their doors and refuse pecuniary &C
commodations to the merchants, how
could the merchants buy our farm pro-
ducts?
Thus with a contracted currency our
cotton would sell for 3 to 5 cents pound,
corn for s to 10 cents a bushel, wheat for
10 to * cents a bushel, and SO on, until
the crops are in the hands of the agents of
the banks, when they would open their
doors and commence business, and the
country being again flooded with cur
rency prices would run up and the profits
would belong to the bankers.
"To forewarn is to forearm" and when
we know that the money power in this
country avows its determination to rule
the country through the venality and cor
ruption of our Legislators, ought we not to
be very particular in our selection
of our law makers, and not send
those to make laws for us who know not
our interests nor have any ympathy with
us in our vocation?
Numbering about IL per cent. of the

The founders of the order of Patrons Of
Husbandry did not begin with a primitive
people to inculcate primitive ideas, fol-
lowing aboriginal legends to fanatical
conclusions; on the contrary, they were
men of enlarged views, cultivated intel
lects, and possessed of the full and direct
information of the condition of those
they sought to organize. They put forth
no mere mysterious dogma, binding mem

Grange in good standing, for the negli-

neighbors every day, especially with those
who can appreciate the advantages OF the
Grange-it would, perhaps, be like casting

FROM THE ORANGES.

The Secretary selects for publication
the following from large number Of let
tiers received during the past month from
Subordinate Oranges:
Zeiber's Fork Grange, $50, Williamson
county, Zenn.:
Our Grange some six months ago tell
into deep slumber, resembling very much
the sleep of death, but unexpectedly to all
parties a reaction has taken place. We had
a fine turn out of the Grange on the 27th
of December, and elected officers for 1880.
We start henceforth on an upward career,
and have determined that Lelper's Fork
Grange SHALL NOT DIE.
BethueI Grange, 1877, Shelby county,:
The live Patrons of Bethuel Grange,
near Kerrville, Shelby county, have COM
pleted beautiful hall, in which they are
now holding their meetings. The enter
prise and zeal of the excellent Patrons of
this wide awake Grange should be emu
lated throughout the State.

night, and made the appointment for it.

had his own fun with the Gatekeeper, he

resolution that we will be more punctual
in our regular meeting days, and that we
drop all delnquents from our roll. We

seven by petition, and are expecting 9TH

goods, and we saved money by the trans

Nebo Grange, 622, Henderson county,:
We are gratified to hear that this Grange,
in addition to other enterprises, has pur-
chased four acres for experimental purpo-
ses. This is an excellent idea, and is the
Legitimate work of the Grange. We are
confident that Gen. LeDuc, our Commits

supply them with all the seeds they may
wish, and that he will regard this Grange

under which we all the while have la
bored is the want of information. We

much less of the means of redressng their
wrongs. Get our farmers posted upon

The Senate is composed mainly OF lawyer-pol-

to intrust the law making power to class that

REMARKS.

REMARKs.--It will be that the Cotton
Exchange has established a Future Cotton Board,
and have quoted sales made yesterday to the Ist
of next January, which of course indicates the
present state of feeling to the future of cotton
in this market. Patrons of Husbandry and all
farmers should keep Thoroughly posted on this sub
iect. Local merchants make sales TO- future
deliveries and can realize large profits by buying
from the planters at less prices than they sell In
this market. Planters with satisfactory guarantees
can also sell on actual deliveries. Let farmers see
to it that the merchants do not make money out
of them in the way above indicated.
Cooperative stores are beginning to multiply
in Mississippi and other States. Our friends are
beginning to learn their true interests, and will
eventually learn how to transact their own bust
ness without many go-betweens. Let our
friends remember, in ordering goods from Saint
Louis to send to Child & Carver, IA South Com
