The whselors Union.

li-phtefbio AtthNosl
The Wheelers' Union has recently
been a subject of general discussion.
Its phenomenal growth promises to
make the organization a great power
In the State. 1t Is confined to the
agricultural districts, and only farm
ers are eligible for membership.
While it's principles ore not altogether
new, the organization has excited q
great deal OF interest by It's rapid
growth and bold innovations.
Working for the advantage Of the
farmers will, Of necessity, antagonize
them against the manufacturers and
capitalists. They declare that the
reduction of taxes on the necessities Of
life and their Advancement on the
luxuries will be principle strongly
advocated by them.
In regard to their organization, the
Wheelers aim to establish lodge in
every [school district of the State.
This object has already been realized
in Webster, Union, Henderson, Daviess,
Hopkins and other counties. In one
county alone there are forty lodges.
The organization has not yet had the
opportunity to spread over the entire
State, but doubtless it will have done
so shortly.
The organization is not deyoting, all
its attention to the establishment Of
lodges, but the greater part of their
energies will bring more material bene-
fits, so it is proposed. While they
have as yet erected but few corporation
stores they have contracted with
merchants in Hebbardsville, Audubon,
Wilson's Station, Dixie, Zion, Niagara,
vanderburg, Pools Mill, Tilden, Blank
ford, Sturgis, Boxville, Borderly and
other places principally in Western
Kentucky. They make a special agree
ment with one merchant in each little
town to provide them with merchandise
at 10 per cent. net profit for cash pay
aents. The livery stable men make
special reduction ON the prices Of
feed and rent for stalls.
But the largest enterprise the
Wheelers have undertaken il flour
mill to be erected at a place called
Pools Mills, in Webster county, at
the cost of 5000. 1t Is b be establi-
shed on stock basis, and is under the
control of directors. The Wheelers
have an official organ in newspaper
published at Fulton, Ky, which is
subscribed for by nearly every State
member of the organization
OF course the organization will 70
ceive considerable adverse criticism,
but il will be generally conceded that
the farmers have as much right to or
ganize rs any other class Of men. And
the paralysis of all kinds of business
will be predicted, but II the efforts of
the members are retained within prop
err bounds great good will result to the
farmers and little detriment to other
classes.

the time appointed by the Republican

There are many other interesting

from the log books of those Boston YES

dusty records of the old Boston mer-

American port, was most interested in
