ton of blue stone in the states of New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the year 1889.

ing this peculiar variety OF stone in
the United States, the value of which was
.6s9,6O6. The expenditures by the systemat-

THE FARMERS AND CONGRESS.

The Patrons of Husbandry Urged to Support
Friend Of Agriculture for Speaker.
Messrs. j. II. Brigham. L. Rhone and John
Trimble, comprising the legislative committee
of the National Grange Of the Patrons of Hus-

OF the order through the country, reporting
upon the work done to secure the enactment
by Congress Of the measures proposed by the
order.
The legislation sought" says the address,
''must wait until the farmers learn to send
fighting and faithful friends to represent their
interests in Congress. Friends without cour.
age and push are only in the way when reforms

much deceived. The farmers may be slow

own defense, but once the battle commences
they will never give up the struggle until the
right prevails. When Congress again as

daughter that if she ever met McRae again he
would whip her severely. This angered the
girl and that very afternoon she stole away.
