Mn. KniToit : In the days, not very
long ago, it was conceded by every
body that the law of demand and sup
ply should regulate the prices of farm
product, the situation being accepted
by the farniur. Now, however, n very
different order of tilings obtain'.; for,
knowing the value ot n bushel of
wheat in any ofourgreat markets, and
thu cost of carrying it theie, you aru
Mill Ignerant of the price that may be
realized therefor by the pioducerherc.
And why'.' .Simply because capital has
monopolized the lines of transit be
tween the producer ami consumer, and
defying all former laws of trade and of
Justice, has Inaugurated schemes of
gambling as unscrupulous an they are
wicked. Kings are formed on grain,
uu sacks, ami on tonnage, and honest
labor Is made a piey to the rapacity of
merciless speculators. The agricultu
rists of our country, realizing that ev
ery other pursuit, lie it Industrial,
commercial, business or professional,
is organized, see Hint they, too, If they
would not soon become tlie Impover
ished subjects of combination-", must
organize and fraternize. Hence the
general and unprecedented uprising of
farmer till over our country. The
Grange lit founded upon the axiom
"that the products of the soil com
prise tlie basis of wealth; ami that in
dividual happiness among all classes
depends largely upon tlie prosperity of
this, thu material and paramount In
terest." Thu main incentive to the
establishment of the order, ami the
multiplication of Granges, Is founded
upon the acknowledged principle that
unity of action bt necessary to Insure
success; ami that to make success pro
gressive this unity must bu of Interest
complete and enduring. The order
will labor to benefit thu entire body
politic; but to do this more surely,
will address Itself llrst to the defense
and enhancement of the great under
lying interest of the country, which is
agriculture. It hns no politics of a
partisan character; does not seek of
llce; is no respecter of persons, sects
or text. It vroposes to give its mem
ber.) exact and trustworthy Informa
tion about cropt, mnrketi and fium

KinkPaintimi. Tlie Portland pa
pers speak of a picture of Mount

that city and placed uu exhibition.
The artist Is Mr. W.n. S. p.urntl, a
young man who resides In Salem,
who bus been engaged upon the work
at times for thu p.isl year. We have
not seen thu painting, but the Port
land dallies speak highly of Its merits.
Mr. I'arrolt, we iiiuletami, has never
taken lessons In his life, and it should
ant be a matter of wonder If there
were great faults in his worlt. The
Xcic notices thu painting as follows :
"As you stand mid gne nt the
snow capped peak euelr.'led in Heccy
clouds, tlio dark ami wild looking
gorges, ami the beautiful scenery in
the fore-ground, I he spectator Is urap
!cd in silent admiration at the grand
eur so truthfully portrayed. We un
derstand that a number of gentlemen
protiO'e setnlim; him to Koine for the
'tiiniMKi ill r,..lvliiir tiiNlrnelliins.
should arrangements be made. Thu
picture on exhibition Is said to be
owned by another party, but If not, '
the artist can get finm $100 to SMXI for
It Immediately. Had it tlio name !'
an eminent aitlst attached to It, thu
price would bu tueiity times u
much."

As to my cxperienio with the
Ilubbanl Ciiuibiueil Helper nuil
Mower, of which Mr. A. Myers pur
chased the right Id manufacture ui
his A;rii'iiUiiril worNs in Sileni, I
will say that I hitve given it it thor
ough test in wheat ttntl iutx from
three In live feel tall, titiil some of
whlcli wsi-i liiilgi-il pretty b.ully, nnd
I feel w.irriiuleil in snylng that it is

billed, both fni-ilurablllty nuil neat
ness of work.
N)W, .Mi. IMitnr, us I mn one of
tlie extreme advocates of home
manufacture of mtr luilky agricultu
ral machinery, 1 cannot very well
lose this opportunity nf saying n few
words tn the finning umimunlty
especially, for they are mod deeply
interested In the iiunu il drain of mo
ney to the lune nf uhiitit one million
ilollur.s lor implements in stock our
farms with, ranging lYnni mi nx
helve to a thresher, when we luivn
nil the elements' of eiin.striictiiui in
our own State. Then what Is to lie
iloiie'.' Well, says Mr. A, why lines
not souie in tu put up a manufactory
nuil make the iiincliIiieryV nutl Mr.
llstiys he tins its much us he can do
to attend to his uu n aHalr. This is
very iiiiieh like tlie old proverb that
" what Is every mail's business Is
nobody'fi business." Now it seems
tn mens If we liavelii-l sight of one
important fact, which is, that there
ate very few men in this nr uny oili
er State who have thu umiiunt of
capital required In erect and put in
operation works of the magnitude
neees-ary to make them prolltuble to
the manufacturer nl agricultural im
plements, and to the farmer who
purcliM'-i'H mid uses tho Mime. I
might have salil, except thii.e who
have their capital staked In nunc gi
gantic corporation, nnd the only way
in which to honorably meet iiml com
pote with such combined capital Is in
a concert of act Ion to patronize, and
liulor.se for w hen necessary, the erec
tion of f.telorlcs for iiiiinufacturlng
in the various branches: nf business;
mid right now is a good tiiuelocom-
inence Willi the Agricultural Work
nt Salem, for they are just on the
ve of failing fur waul of means or
Indorsement by the fanners. Some
may say, I have no meaiiH to spare.
Now suppose we brill;; to hear Unit
ncert of action, anil six hundred or
it thousand farmers tnko stock in ihe
way of Indnr-cmcuf, and iftheKimo
hud to be paid, it would be but u few
dollars tu the man, while ho would
bu doubly .ifi- with a flmt mortgage
on tlm wdis. Why, it seems Id mo
that every man who ever studied for
ii moment in a biisluussdike way thu
channels of commerce to and from
our State would m.'O ut-it glance that
the very geographical location speaks
plain that to pmspi.-r weniii-t iiiiuiii

now say, Mr. Killlor, that my opln-
