of the State Grange, Patrons Of Hus-
Master =. II. sMessick presiding and
many delegates present,
muster said ! Tit is the duty OF he
firiners to come quickly 10 the front
National legislation is needed to pre-
vent the continued adulteration Of
This practice not only cheapena the
products, of the farm, butit discredits
them ut home and abroad. And while
on this point, gambling 10 futures and,
ON mBrgins shonid be prohibited. The
Anti Trust law should be perfected aud
vigorously enforced, until the toiling
millions shall be free from paying
tribute to gigantic combines of men
and money. The time hos come for
progression. Systems Of business as
practiecd by orr successful business
men should be infused into our State
and county governments. Many OF our
public reads could be better worked
with one-half the money now expended
by putting them out in sections to the
best bidders. Our system OF collecting
taxes is unsatisfactory to those who
perform the work, and shamefully ex-
pensive to tho people. With strictly
business managenient OF our State we
might e.able to devise more rational
treatment Of our criminals. He closed
