labor and trade If Rugby shall, in the course of
few years, demonstrate the possibility and advantage
of eliminating the mass of mddlemen, it will have
accomplished blessed mission.
And then how delightful that colony planted in
new region should bear name so classic, instead
of the typical frontier Notwithstanding,

Here in the north many are watching the Rugby
experiment. and am frank enough to say that most
of us are skeptcal We do not see enough bushels of
corn and wheat piled up in your future, enough opor
tunity for ambitions qualification to give zeal to fore
casting In the October address we fail to find the
word fortune, or any reference to the accumulation
of wealth. without which life seems tame to the
Yankee mind, albeit comparatively few of live to
attain the realization of our hopes. For myself |
rejoice that your community will place other aims
above the accumulation of fortunes, and that the
amenities of refined society will be cherished instead
of stihed. The hardships of our American pioneers
have amounted to too high price for the boon
attained-the rapid settlement of our prairies and
development of our mines. l hope to see Rugby
demonstrate the principle that society, properly
directed during its formative period, assinlaes less
/ from environment than from the ideas and the life
brought in from abroad
As member of newspaper guild l shall watch
with interest your journals growth, and should be
pleased to render any service in my power to aid you
in your enterprise. Especially would be happy if
enabled some day to make Rugby my home.
Very truly yours,

MY opinion that the character of the colonists was
not the best for pioneer life in rugged country is
much misrepresented when he makes me say that
nothing short of miracle would enable it to succeed
under its present conditions" That language is
great deal stronger than what was uttered and is not
even qualified by my expressed hopes for its success
am sorry that the reporter did not appreciate the
fact that what told him was in the way of private
and not public conversation. However, will do
him the Justice to suppose that he was not guilty Of
any intentional wrong or Misrepresentation, as he
seemed to me to be gentleman. His fault was in
setting down only what said against, and entirely
leaving out what was said for.

admitted by all unbigoted people to be, beyond all
comparison the most important corporate action of
the settlers at Rugby and that upon which they are
most to be congratulated. We refer to the joint
services of the different shades of Christian belief
here represented, which begun on the Sunday after
the formal opening of the settlement and have
been continued without interruption and with every
sign of cordial understanding between the different
branches of the congregation These services were

our various shades of Christian opinion, we need not

OFFICE OF THE NORTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE,
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Dec. II, 1880.
EDITOR OF THE RUGBEIAN If this letter shall
arrive too late for your January issue SHALL think,
never cease to regret that pressing duties robbed
of the personal pleasure of greeting the Rugby
community through the columns of its first published
journal.
Since the day when first heard of Mr. Hughes
mission in the United States, have watched with
more than curiosity and hardly less than socitude,
the progress of Rugby's formation and growth, and
when at length copy of Mr.. Hughes October
address fell into my hands, felt would feel if
dream that had visited me all the nights of my life
were on the point of being fulfilled
As believer in the teachings and worshipper of
the spirit of the philosopher Of Nazareth, hail with
delight the beginning of movement in America for
the realization of Christian communism. If England
has caught some valuable suggestions from our Re-
public we on the other hand are deeply indebted to
England for the idea and example of national CO.
operation, a debt which Americans will acknowledge
more and more readily as years advance.
1t must be admitted that heretofore the cooperative
movement in America has in general resulted in
failure, though could name many gratifying ex-
ceptions to this general statement The fault with
has been that have attempted to graft the CO.
operative idea upon old trade system instead of
planting afresh at the roots We have simply resorted
to cooperative grocerystore Keeping to stop one of
the leakages that wasting our resources. We
have learned no principles; we have had in view no
ideal we have not thought of revolutonizfng our
false trade system of permanently modifying it
but have resorted to cooperation likely make-shit
to bridge present difficulties. And SO oA
cooperation having no soul-only pocket-has\
generally failed. 1t seems to me that the Rugby
community, based as it is upon the broad principle
of human brotherhood, must mature into form of
society that will exert a wide influence for good upon
all parts of our nation l devoutly wish that Mr..
Hughes remarks on the evils of our gigantic COM
mercial age might be heralded throughout the Union,
and that people might be awakened to see the i'm
policy Of maintaining our great standing army of
storekeepers. We have heard much talk about the
conflict between the interests of labor and of capital
but it appears to that the real conflict is between

THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.

A Rhode Island editor has given the fol
lowing reasons for ceasing the publication
of his paper:
Our reasons for quitting the newspaper
business may seem odd to some people, but
to US they are sufficient.
We can earn our living with less irrita
ton and discomfort. If we want a dollar
why should we stretch a hawser around
the whole state of Rhode Island to get it
Why not earn it quietly in our own time
and in our own way?
Alone in the world, and feeling himself
to be one who, like Goldsmiths hermit
wants but little here below nor wants thai
little long, we can see no good reason fol
torturing oursef by counting unnecessary
annoyance.
For the last three years our position has
been such as would be exempliied by thai
of a COW, which, though requiring for he
sustenance only small allowance of grain
and for her rest but perch in juniper
should be foolish enough to lease a corr
field and large woodland, with all it.
consequent cares, poor pay and thankless
duties.
Surely the mind is worth something. VIZ

ton, and gladly return to the ownership o.
