a happy ausion 10 the American love of speech
making, saying that no company either public or
private can assemble without speech. He spoke
briefly of the great monopoes of the country, par
ticularly of the railroad monopoes, of their OPP
preston of consumers as well as producers and 0t
the successful efforts of the Grange in securing
justice to all In his remarks concerning the OPP
preston of monopohes he quoted from David
Davis, eX Secretary Window Judge Black, Gov
Gray, Of Indiana, Daniel Webster the New York
Times and others. He next referred to the tariff
as question likely to agitate the minds of the
American people, suggesting that Il low tariff af-
forded more protection than high one. He closed
by abiding to the application of Grange principles
to agriculture. Bro. Moody held the closest atten-
address, which is sufficient compliment to its merit
Sister Dickey's poem was well prepared, well re
ceiycd and fully appreciated by all. The afternoon
and evening were devoted to social chats and
dancing, in which all participated. Excellent music
was discoursed by Messrs Studley, Heal and Young
