The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-10-30

If we could reach all our Oranges
and members with sound Grange
literature and useful information,
the lecture system might be very
greatly reduced or abandoned, ex-
cept locally. But until we can do
that, lectures Will be Indispensable.
Many of our people are slow to
learn the true principles and pur-
poses of the Grange, because they
do not read If they toiled less in
cessantly with their hands, and
more with the brain; gave more at
tention to the development OF the
higher and better manhood, they
would be great gamers thereby.
Very few have lost faith in the
Grange, but many have become
apathetic because of neglect of
duty towards the cause. As plain
as this truth is, it is hard to get
them to see it. To one who is
earnest and sanguine, this is dis
couraging. But we must labor on,
hope, persevere.

wages, and necessarily for higher
cost of transportat ton
F., Here Senator of the United
States, speaking to a city audi
ence, by implication associates the
Grangers with the railroad employ
ees in the responsibility for the la
Dor riots Of 1877.
He then goes on to say!
"Mr. Sherman claims that Con
gress can control the contracts of
the most powerful corporations and
the humblest citizen" Denis Kear-
neo nor Jack Cade never announced
the doctrines of communism more
distinctly.
So this very distinguished citizen,
Denis Kearney, is the type of the
laborers of the land, while Jack
Cade is the representative of the
farmers, for he immediately adds:
Farmers who own not one dol
lar in the stock of the railways, and
are wholly without responsibility for
their debts or risks or cost of opera
ton, are to have their property car
ried willingly or unwillingIy at a
profit or at loss, by Incorporated
capital, which is to have no voice
in the contract"
And then Mr.. Bayard goes on to
quote Jack Cade:
There shall be in England seven
half-penny loaves sold for a penny;
the three-hooped pot shall have ten
hoops, and will make it felony to
drink small beer; all the realms shall
be in common and at Cheapside
shall nv palfry go to grass There
shall be no money; all shall eat and
drink on my score, and ] will APP
parel them all in one livery that
they may agree like brothers and
worship me, their Lord"
This insult is addressed to all
all alike Of the agricultural, com
mercjal, manufacturing, mcdaniel,
and laboring classes who demand
Governmental protection from the
expressions Of incorporated cap
itaI."
There are several facts to be de-
duced from Mr.. Bayard's speech.
First: He places Grangers in false
attitude, in saying that they demand
cheap transportation. They make
no such demand, but ask protection
from the unjust determinations
which places them at the mercy of
spectators. Second: He proves
that there is no antagonism between
Grange and the other industrial in
terests Of the country Their de-
mand for law that will limit and
restrain the cutting and reduction
OF freights is peaceable and law
ful solution of the problem which
confronts the future relations of
labor and capital. Third: We are
taught that no matter how exalted
the character nor how brilliant the
talents of our political leaders,
there is no sure protection or safety
for US, save in acting on the advice
of Col. Piollet: "The agricultural
people must unite to protect them
selves, and secure to their offspring
the measure of equality with which
we were invested by patriotic an
cestry. - VIRGINIA GRANGER.

DON'T LIKE IT.

The Richmond Wing complains bitterly
of the methods employed by the conserva-
tives of Richmond in the late canvass for
municipal officers Especially is it angry at
the bulldozing of readjuster candidates by
means of threats to deprive them of custom
in their business if they consented to stand
against regular democratic candidates. 1t
says:
If bulldozing could be as successfully prac-
ticed on so large field AS the whole state as
it can he in q city-say Richmond, for in
stance-the majority of the people of Virginia
would be in a sad case, for they could get no
candidates for the legislature, etc. to stick long
enough to receive their votes. The buldozed
readiuster candidates, whose circumstances
put them at the mercy of the bulldozers, are
pardonable perhaps; but certainly there can he
no pallation of the ofiense Of the bulldozers,
ana the funder candidate who can remain in
the field and accept the prize Of victory under
such circumstances should be Indignantly re.
pudiated even by his wife, if she married him
under the dclusion that he was man!
We are not surprised to find the JVhig
angry. We have been angry when such
tactics were applied to republicans in
every state of the south but we doubt il
the Wing felt any otherwise than ticliled
when in the past it marked the effect oI
such bulldozing in keeping men from avow.
ing themselves in sympathy with the
union and with republican ideas. What
would the Wing say if the conservative
committee should send n circular to every
merchant in the city, ordering him, under
penalty of having his store and busines,
oslracsed, to withdraw his advertisement
from the readjusler organ? That was
what WAS done by democratic committee
with reference to a republican paper in a
southern city in 1876. 1t worked to q
charm. Every local advertisement was
ordered out, and when the proprie,
tor ontinued somo Of them, with.
out pay, in order to save himself type
setting, the merchants threatened tc
sue for damages unless the advertisement.
were excluded. The same methods did
extend over whole state. Clerks, mechan
les and laborers were threatened with los
of employment, merchants with loss o
custom, and tenants with eviction from
their homes unless they would abandon
thell parry anu Nole uSaIhst tlelr con
sciences and convictions. Snch method:
accompanied where these failed, by yiolenc
and murder, enabled the democratic part,
in 1876 10 obtain the electoral votes of th
states Of North Carolina, Mississippi an,
Alabama, aud TO set up a pretcnse for th
votes of South Carolina, Florida and Lou
isiana. And II is only by the success of sue
methods that the same party gloats over
solid south in 1880

NEARLY OVER.

We believe every republican in the coun-
try is sincerely glad thnt the canvass for n
candidate for his party is nearly over. No
matter who is nominated, vast majority
of the disappointed will take comfort in
the fact that the war within the party is at
nn end. Once the convention speaks the
duty of every true republican is made
manifest, and despite the unusual virulence
of our preliminary contest we are assured
that the ranks will close promptly, and
every soldier of the union will quickly
catch the step. The sxulkers will be few
and the traitors fewer still.
Our confidence is the result of n firm
faith in the wisdom of the seven hundred
and fifty-six delegates to Chicago, and in
the fact that in the matter of men and prin-
ciples the great republican party has made
no mistakes in its hours of peril. The party
has no reason to be ashamed of any name
that will be presented at its national con-
vention. Every one mentioned for its pref
crence has served the party and his coun-
try either upon the battlefield or in the
equally honorable fields of Legislative
achievement.
The party will go into the contest proud
of the history it has made and confident in
the patriotism of its present attitude. II
can appeal TO the heart and conscience
of the people upon its record as the
savior of the union and the lib
orator of the enslaved; it can alsC
appeal to the honor and common sense
of the people as it points to its administra'
ton of the national finances and to its
wise and firm foreign policy. The plat.
form adopted at Chicago will pledge the
party to a continuance in the paths which
have brought the country safely through
the perils of disunion, war and business
depressions, until now it stands the won
der and envy of all the peoples of the
world.
With such n record and with such
candidate as we are certain TO have in an,
event, there is no reason TO doubt of success
at the polls in November. We believ
now, as we have done from the beginning @
the canvass, that General GRANT will max
assurance doubly sure should he be on
candidate, but we are glad to think that n
word of ours in regard to any of his CON
petitors will cause us discomfort if on
choice is denied us.

into the treasury and n silver certificate re-
ceived for IT, to redeem which tho treasury
would be compelled 10 retain the silver con
stantly In its possession.
The distribution Of thousand tons of
silver will not burden the railroads enough
to suspend regular business traffic, no mat
ter how formidable it may appear to those
who oppose themselves TO the silver eircu-
latiou. The transmission of it will not
interfere with the ordinary methods of the
government in any manner different from
that which would occur should congress
order the appropriation to he paid in gold.
The only possible difference would be in
the weight If that is considered an argu-
ment against the use of silver as compared
with gold, it would be much stronger if APP
piled to the difference between gold and
paper. We suppose the Times would con-
slider the latter comparison, if used by n
fiat man, MS beneath notice.
With reference to the statement that the
disbursing officers of the treasury, war and
interior departments could defeat the evi-
dent intention of congress by converting
VIZ S'A'NA INV W. hbNO OliAN w
say that it would be in perfect keeping
with the dishonest methods hitherto put in
force by the administration to discredit
silver and to defeat the intentions of the
law-making branch of the government.
We hope the amendment will be retained
and made specific enough in language to
insure the payment Of silver dollars to the
laborers upon every public work in the
country, and to the employees of contractors
working under the acts of congress.
There is not q doubt in our mind that at
least one-half of the silver money so dis
bursed would be absorbed by the savings
of the people, 10 whom it would come as
wages or in return for supplies furnished to
! laborers OF the other half large proper
ton would continue to circulate as cur
rency in districts remote from banks and
brokers. Instead of finding its way bach;
at once to the treasury vaults, as predicted
by the Times, sxths of it would remain
with people who are not disdainful of a
hard dollar, and who have no interest in
rendering it unpopular.
