STURBRlDGE.
GRANGE ENTERTAINMENT

The entertainment given by the local
Southbridge oranges, Tues lay evening,
was a great success. The farce, ''An
Economical Boomerang" was well ren-
dered, and the minstrel show was fine.
Twenty-three people comprised the
troupe, from gray-haired men of nearly
60 years, to the little miss OF IA, and
they were a complete representation of
jolly, happy -go-lucl1y set of darkies.
The songs were sung well, especially "a
hot time in the old town tonight" "The
little Alabama coon," and Don't you
hear dem bells?" all of which deserved
and received encores. The proceeds of
the entertainment We're $40, which, with
tn $40 the grange voted to contribute,
makes $50 which they have been instru-
mental in adding to the funds of the
Worcester South Agricultural Society,
for which they all deserve thanks.
The master of the grange was master
of ceremonies, and he also showed that
he was master of the art of cutting a
pigeon wing in a regular plantation
breakdown. The grange has produced
lots Of innocent fun as well as education
in the more serious walks of life.
The next farmers meeting will prob
ably be held in Podunk chapel March 19,
instead OF the 1bCn.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
We have read Brother Archer's let
ters on the nature and functions Of
money with approval and a great deal
of interest. Like him we believe that
no n kind of money should be re-
deemaole 10 another. kind of money.
To say 50 is to say it is no money. To
grant corporations the exclusive priv
lege of using it's credit as money in the
shape OF bills is outrageous tyranny.
Still more Is it so for the government
to lend It's credit, which is the prop
erty of every citizen q like, to corpora
tions. 1t is robbery of the many for
the benefit Of the few. It is a forcible
seizure OF private property and making
it O donation to monied men. Is is O
robbery of The poor for the benefits of
the rich. This old time barbarous Gus
tom must be relegated TO the past.
Any citizen has az much right 20 use
his own credit "a money as any other
citizen. Any citizen has as much
right for the government to guarantee
his notes as banks or corporations of
any sort. Therefore, we are opposed
TO any state or this government grant
Ing such special privileges and for this
reason We stand firmly on the Alliance

all human organizations except reli-
gions, as all human government is
founded ON the ground of expediency,
and all party platforms should be
erected on the same ground-not
upon the moral or Christian code, nor
against them, but for business. By
Titles we can inject a moral juice into
the body polite as the patient will
bear it, and no faster. We know not
BOW one law which is in exact keeping
with the moral code. However 90 far
off, this is the goal of our final hopes
and destination.
We must rember we have not to do

sinners. 1t ia q war we have ON our
hands, war against odds, and the
best political generals and the best dis

WHEREAS, The Declaration Of indie
pendence, as @ basis for @ Republican
form Of Government that might be

ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the

We hold, therefore. that to restore
and preserve these rights under a
Republican form of government, pri-
vate m~onopolies of public necessities
for speculative purposes, whether of
the means Of production, distribution
or exchange, should be prohibited, and
whenever any such public necessity or
utility becomes q monopoly in private

therefor, and operate them for, and in
the interest of. the whole people.
