A Few Fact. for Frugal Farmers.

hogs aud trying to understand why tho packer who
Intro duced the Conger Lard Bill In Congress. which
proposes to tar Lard Compound is Incorporating
a. his friend and benefactor. He knows we'll that
this absurd because the packer screws
him down In price when purchasing. makes all
sorts OF claims, aud In q word, lives by tho sweat
Of the farmers brow instead OF that OF his Dan.
The farmer should understand that tho passage
OF this bill will practically close uprefneries that
make over 800. 900. 900 lbs. OF Lard Compound per
annum. OF which hog lard Is the principal ingred-
lent These rehnes are the largest customers that
tho farmer has for his hogs. II they stop the de.
demand from them will cease. The farmer must
then 90 to the packers as his only customers and
they will dictate terms and prices.

one hog. he can fx his own price for II. but let
him have one customer for two hogs, AMI the Gus
toner will FIX the price. Naturally. larger de-
msnd for hogs makes prices firmer; so that the
packer having destroye ed his competitors will have
the farmer In his power.

GRANGE RESOLUTIONS.

The following il the declaration OF
principles adopted at the meeting OF
the State Grange which closed its ses-
sion in Des Moines on the 1lth
/ That an exchange of the products
of labor is essential to human civiliza-
ton.
2 That in order that civilization be
placed on the highest plane, such cx-
changes should be effected at the low
est possible cost.
That we recognize as the three
principal factors in all exchanges:
First, means for the exchange of
thoughts and ideas, such as postal and
telegraph service. Second, means for
the exchange Of comodities, such as
highways and railroads. Third, mean
to express values and settle balances,
such as money.
4. ALI these factors, excepting only
the postal service, are now under the
control Of private corporations, who
in the past have not hesitated to re-
tard production or prevent exchange
by eXhorpitant rates OF interest for
money and charges for services rem
the service, but upon what the traffic
would pear.
5. While the government has with
a view to assist in facilitating this ex-
change made these private corpora
lions munifcent donations of vast
tracts of valuable land and loaned
them immense sums OF money either
without interest or at The nominal
rate OF one per cent. Notwithstanding
all this they continue TO form pools,
trusts and combines in order to further
advance rates, thereby retarding ex-
change, while tending at the same
time to a further concentration OF the
earnings OF the peple in tho hands of
the few.
6. In view Of these facts and the
present indications that not In the
distant future such combination may
be affected as will entirely wipe out
all competition and leave us without
hope at the mercy OF corporate
wealth, Therefore,
Il
government owership and control OF
all railroads and telegraph lines in
the country; the same to be secured
by purchase at fair price.
Z. That we Insist upon absolute
fairness in the matter of finances and
demand that the government make no
discrimination between individuals and
corporations as to loans.
8. We ask that all loans be amply
secured and that the rate of interest
shall not exceed the average rate OF
increase OF the material wealth OF the
country and that the volume of the
currency should increase at ratio
relative to an increase OF its produc-
tions.
0. We demand that all money shall
be full legal tender to be issued by
the government and equal before the
law.
10. We are in favor OF such adjust
ment OF our revenue laws as will dis
tribute the burdens OF taxation eguita-
bly,, allowing debtors to deduct from
their assessments the amount OF their
indebtedness.
IL. We ask that each head of fam
lily be allowed home not to exceed
three hunred dollars IN value exempt
from all taxation.
IL. The Grange does not antagon-
ize any enterprise seeking to introduce
new or cheap food, supplies for the
people. but demand that they be placed
upon the market under their own
proper name.

neighbors, proving fruitless, causing
the arrest OF the husband who had
cruelty abused her for nothing, caus-
ing suspicion OF foul play, in which he
is supposed to be the guilty party.
When searched by the police over u
a thousand dollars was found in his
boot, eight hundred in one hundred
dollar bills, which he refused TO part
with only after a violent struggle.
Irwin is the same man who some weeks
ago was alleged to have been robbed

The Iowa State Grange met at Des
Moines Dec. 9th and 10th. Reports
from the different Oranges were re-
ceived. A large number reported in
creased enthusiasm and interest and u
growth in membership. A majority
are doing well and the organization as
whole is in an advancing condition,
although some Oranges and localities
reported loss of interest A resolu-
ton in favor of prohibition was
adopted with hardly dissenting vote,
In substance it declared the unaltera-
BILE hostility of the Grange to the use
Of Intoxicating liquors us beverage,
and demanded state and national log
islatlon absolutely prohibiting the
manufacture and sale for any but me-
dicinal purposes. Following this was
II resolution favoring woman suffrage
in unmistakaole terms. 1t was also
adopted without discussion by an al
most unanimous vote. IL demanded
for women equal political rights in all
respects with men, expressing the be-
lief OF the Grange, that longer to keep
the ballot from women was an inius
tice and mistake.
