A PROTEST.

EDIToR lNTELLIGENCER:-The ques-
ton arises, by what authority does a
congressional committee undertake to
disfranchise a whole people; and, by a
simple order, direct that a convention,
elected for no such purpose, and in
vested with n o such power, shall elect
delegates to a congressional conven-
t1onI These truths are self-evident ;
that delegates to a convention are but
the agents or representatives of the
people, invested with just such authori-
ty, and no more, as the people give
them. To these powers no committee
can add or take from, and an attempt
to exercise any other power is but an
ursurpation. revolutionary, and binds
no one. This is the whole case, and
no specious sophistry, such as the
people do not want to be further both
cred, a overthrow it.
The county committee called town.
ship meetings to elect delegates for
three purposes stated in the call, name
ly, to elect delegates to the state con-
vention. to the circuit judicial conven-
ton, and the criminal convention.
The people invested these delegates
with no other power, and to attempt
the exercise of any other would be as
h~igh-handed an outrage in disfranchis
ing the people al was ever attempted
by Rodman, whose fate should be a
warning to other gentlemen.

THE COUNTY GRANGE.

HIGGINsvILLE, Mo-, July II, 1886.
EDITOR INTELLIG ENCER:-Now that
the battle is W. and the smoke clear
ing away the men who are to have the
easy places, light work and full pay,
have been selected. | wish to call at
tentlon to the fact that the county
grange will hold its regular meeting at
the hall of Garrison Grange July 20,
1886. Two important resolutions are
to be discussed on that occasion. One
on taxation, the other the labor ques-
ton. The successful management of
the former by the grange will be a suf-
ticient guarantee of its ability to con-
tinue, whilst the latter can only be
settled by the united effort of the labor
organizations and the grange. Politi-
clans and demagogues may discuss it
for their W benefit, but the solution
mnst be reached by the toiling millions,
because they look for a real remedy.
The farmers and laboring people of
Lafayette county understand that a few
years ago five thousand bushels of
wheat would pay for the collection OF
the taxes, two thousand for the assess
ment, two thousand bushels for treas
urer, and so on down the line of coun-
ty officers, whilst two hundred thou
sand bushels of wheat or its equivalent
in labor would pay the taxes of the
county for N year. Will it do it now?
Every farmer can answer this question
for we'll he knows that to pay the same
amount OF taxes he must take to mar
ket double the amount of wheat or its
equivalent in some other product. If
two hundred thousand bushels of wheat
would pay the taxes in this county
eight years ago four hundred thousand
bushels is required now to pay the same
amount. The same rule applies to every
other commodity as well as to labor. 1t
requires nc less labor now to produce
a bushel of corn or wheat than it did
then.
Every clock out" diminishes the con-
sumption of farm products and reduces
its value and enables the manufacturer
to advance the price of his goods. Is
it surprising that the workers of the
nation whose wages are not sufficient
to procure even the n~ecessaries of life,
who are always subject to the
clock out" should be disconnected and
looking for a remedy. | believe it was
Ben Franklin who said that if the
workers Of the world would labor four
hours per day that enough would be
produced to supply the wants of all.
Does this apply TO the farmers who
toll from five o'clock i'm the morning
until 8 o'clock in the evening mere
~ to find themselves at the end of the
year where they were at the beginning
Or to the army OF wage earners who
ten or twelve hours per day to
keep the wolf from the door?
More than three thousand men gave
each a day to help his friend to an easy
md profitable place. To this no one
could object, but if you farmers neglect
your grange meetings and the questions
therein discussed you are neglecting a
1uty which You owe to your neighbor
and yourself. NJ. nj. GLADIsH.

The Merritt Wrecking Company, a
few days ago, delivered to Postmaster
Pearson, of New York, 1Sl bags Of
mail matter recovered from the wreck
of the steamer Oregon, during the fair
weather of last week. The letter mail
was found to be in pretty good condi-
ton. 1t was directed to nearly all the
leading cities in the United States.
Canada, Mexico and Cuba, and after it
had been dried it was forwarded.
Of the 59s bags dispatched by the
Oregon 461 have been recovered. A
bag from the Oregon's mail was found
on June T., on the beach near Cape
Hatteras, N. c., four hundred miles
from where the Oregon went down on
March IA. The mail consisted of print
ed matter and reached New York on
Saturday last. 1t was in such bad con-
dition that only a small proportion OF
it can be forwarded.

1t would be unwise to conceal the
fact that there is serious opposition
among democratsto the election of del
egates to the congressional convention
by a convention not called for that pur-
pose. One long communication from
an old, staunch democrat, partly in
type, was withheld in the interest of a
~peaceable settlement in the matter;
another from a prominent democrat
appears. The convention in its wis
dom, we do not doubt, will consider
the matter carefully, calmly, judicially,
and in the interest of fairness and har-
mony in the party.
