GRANGE MATTERS.


your readers would like to know
something about the Linn County
Business Council, P. of H., as said
council met with the Corvallis
Grange at the last meeting, on
Saturday, October Sd, 81, Brother
John Bryant, president, in the
ichair.
The roll was called, and quo
rum being present, the regular
routine of business was gone
through with. The minutes of the
last regular session of the Council
were read by the secretary and
stood approved. In the absence
of Brother Mart Miller, the agent
for the Council, there was no re-
port from him in regard to the f.
nancial proceedings Of the Patrons
of Husbandry in the jurisdiction of
the L. G. b. @. The Patrons in
this part of Benton county asked
of the Council for a sub-agent to
act in concert with the general
agent, as it was rather difficult for
them to go to Albany to do their
trading. Their request was grant
ed with the consent of Brother
Miller, our agent.
Considerable talk was indulged
in by several members in expla-
nation of the workings of the Linn
County Business Council,-Bros.
French, Scott, Freeson, DIR. Leep-
er, Letcher, Dawson. and Sister
Whitney, and others whose names
l failed to get. As this was the
first meeting of the Council since
last June, there was no business
of Importance prepared for this
meeting.
Before adjourning for dinner,
Prof. French, OF the O. A. college,
requested the Council as body
to visit the Oregon Agricultural
college buildings, farm, etc. At
this juncture dinner was announced
and the worthy president declared
a recess for that purpose, of which
all availed themselves and partook
heartily of the repast, lnterspers-
ing it with social chat, all taking a
general part.
Immediately after lunch {head-
ed by Professors French and
Letcher) the Council as body
started for the 0. A. college build
ings, farm, etc. On arriving at
the college all were shown through
the different rooms and the man.
ner of conducting said institution
throughout.
The green house was gone
through. Also the dormitory,
barn, silo building, etc., and their
different uses explained in hur |
ried manner. AS there were a |
good many persons in attendance
who had never been at the O. A.
college, there seemed to be quite
an interest taken by the visitors
in examining the locality, build
ings, stock, flowers, etc., and none
will regret the time spent. Ny
only regret was that the time was
too short to make anything like a
thorough examination. After thei
hours thus spent, we returned to
the council hall and resumed
business.
The next meeting of the Coun-
Gil will be held with Grand Prairie
Grange No. 10, Linn county, Ore
gon, on the first Saturday in No-l
vember, 1891.
A vote of thanks was rendered
to the Corvallis Grange by the
Council for the use of their hall, toi
the Sisters for the repast furnished
and to the Professors of the college
for the interest shown to the Coun-i
Gil.
No other business of importance
coming before the Council and all
seeming to have enjoyed them
selves in the days work, on motionl
il was adjourned. P. /

Signince'.. Facts and Figures.

boAgHiAiCf =. r &C Us ana fIguIeS.
Time and again during the last
ten years have friends of our labor
ers oought to so adjust duties on
imports as to protect them against
the low wages of other lands. The
Mckinley bill has proven master
stroke in that direction aud It's
authors are entitled to the gratitude
of every friend of the laborer. The
Treasury Department has issued a
statement showing the amount of
our foreign commerce for the year
ending June 30, 1897, which is full
Of encouragement to the laborer aud
demonstrates the wisdom Of the
Mckinley act. This statement
shows that the value Of imports of
merchandise paying duty for the
nine months ending June 60, 1891
this being since the said act went
into force-was $334,242, $40, while
for the same period ending June 80,
1890, the value of imports paying
duty was 4389,78G,O32. This shows
reduction Of imports paying duty
in favor of the Mckinley law of
s55, 543, 692. Every labor organiza.
ton, every laborerand every laborer'.
friend will read these figures with
delight. Has modern times re-
vealed 80 effective a way to relieve
our laborers from the evil effects of
competition with the low wages Of
other lands? What labor has sup
piled this vast amount of over fifty
five million dollars worth To our
people? The American laborer has
supplied every dollars worth of it.
No wonder there is a feeling of
confidence growing stronger every
day that this much maligned Nc
Kinley act is to prove the best friend
Of this generation to the laborer.
1t is second Emancipation act,
And who is worse off because Of it?
Parenthetlcally, let us suggest that
you pass by the importer, his agents
or employees in answering this
question. Has any one paid more
for what he has had to buy? No.
Let us pass over the few months
when falsehood ran riot in the early
footsteps of the act and put the
question this way: Is any one pay
ing more for his goods to-day?
Truth compels you to answer no,
But said report goes further and
shows that for the nine months end
ind June 80, 1890, we imported free
Of duty goods valued at S20S,983,-
S73; while for the same period end.
my June 30, 1891, we imported
goods free Of duty OF the value of
S205, 963,665 A difference in favor
of the Mckinley act amounting to
86,979,792. Very much of this
has gone directly to lessening the
cost of what goes on the breakfast
table, thus going directly into the
laborer's pocket.
No wonder the workmen are
ralIying around Major Mckinley of
Ohio. Il is the first opportunity
they have had, after the benefits of
the above act are known, to show
their appreciation Of this great com
moner who has worked SO assldu-
ously in their behalf They have
the sympathy of the world in their
efforts to elect Major Mckinley to
