Address to
the Feoplo
States.
of the United
New York, Oct. 27. The candidatesof the
Independent greenback party for President
and Vice President have Issued to the voters
of the country au address which vigorously
arraigns both the old parties, and clearly
Bets lorth the principles which the candidates
of tho new party maintain. They Bay that
there 1b to be no withdrawal or compromise
on their part, but thoy will ntaud firmly to
the ena. Alter giving ino weii-icnown
arguments In favor ol more currency they
continue: "We hold that gold and slh er as
measures of valuo belong to ignorance, and
tbo fact that over sitice their adoption for
that purpose they have floated frcm west to
east, from intelligence to Ignorance, from
governments ruled by the poople to arbitra
ry despotisms, from communities which
adopt individual, corporate, or national
credit for the transaction of buslncsi, to thoe
who know no other uses for money than to
bury it or manufacture Into images, or
worship it; or into oinaineuts torttioir riilers
as in India, where more tbantwo-fifths of all
these metals have already found their rat
ing, place; that it is idle to talk of turning
their couftfl from east to west, na demon
strated in England's reply as to the payment
ofthoUeuaya a word, and the rice in the
rnteot lnteretit to ten percout by llio Bjnk
of England, when iu 1S73, the iiiMgnitirant
sum of 15,000,000 was shipped beie to buy
food for the lamishlng people of Indiu. Wo
would not tako from the Government tho
right to impress gold or silver and make
such tokens legal tender in payment of
some obligations, but we iiom niacins not
their Intrinsic .value, but the Impress of tho
Government that determines their legal
valuo. And we further hold that to re-estab
lish those metals as the only measures of
value would turn oock tne wneois oi pro
gress, paralyze industries, destroy enter
prise, bankrupt every debtor, enslave labor
and establish a moueved oligarchy to rule
and ruin the people. That such policy Is in
conflict with tree government and the spirit
of this ago, and would not be tolerated ex
osptfortho influence of the partisan press,
and growing familiarity with that class ot
legislation. We hold that thoro is an irre
pressible conflict between those who think,
or whose interest it serves, that, tbo future
currency of this country should bo the pro
duct of labor In one material, and those who
hold it should be based an the credit of the
nation representing all Its pioductlon, nil its
gold, all its stiver, cotton, wheat, com, rjo,
petroleum, butter, choose and all the pro
ducts of every man's labor; between cur
rency, that can be expanded when tbo busi
ness of the country lequlres it, and ono that
can he controlled by a tew when most need
ed by the many, or entirely withdrawn from
tho country whenever it suits tho Interest or
caprice of Us holders to do ko; botwoeu those
who hold wealth invented inpovernmcut se
curities moro sacred than wealth invested in
private entcrr-ritc; between tboo who hold
that a pooplo should bo mado prosperous
when called upon to boar heavy publio
burdens, and tho;o v. ho fcoro to sustain
public ciodij mid national honor v, bile they
shrink thtr currency, destioy values and
force, millions of pi-oplo Into idleness; be
tween those who would promote f-i.terprhe
and footer private enterprise and thoa who
would bankrupt tho nation to sutisfy tho
greed of its creditor-)."
The State Agency.
Mr. S. P. Lee was retained as Treasurer and
Stato Business Agent of the Orange, as our
readers will recollect. As the act tailed that
was to pave tho way for co-oparatlou undor
the i'.ochdalo plan It is uncertain whether
the State Agency will dissolve, as was con
templated whon tho Orange was In session.
If it does not the Patrons will still have tho
use of the agency, which has been very sue
cesstul under Mr. Lee's administration. We
still hope thai some plan will bo agreed on
by which tho co-oporative Bchomo can be
fully tested without waiting for tho noxt
session ot me state urango.

MA3IMotji Squamiks. Mr. I M. Rlnoar
of Oregon City, exhibited souib very re
markable squashes at tho State Fair, which
we perhaps failed to do justice to. Ono of

Mr. Rlnoarson to Messrs. Jones & Patter

Last week, in tho midst of a rain that
fully sustains Oregon's reputation for
winter weather, though coming unusu
ally early in the season, wo stopped
over a day at Milwaukeo and took oc
casion to call on Mr. Seth Luelling, an
old subscriber to tho Pakmer, and ono
of tho most experienced nurserymen
in our Stato. Mr. Luelling lives in the
town and quito near the river, whilo
his orchard and nursery extend over a
good deal of ground between that and
uie ranroau, nan a mno instant. It is
quite a treat for a person who enjoys
fruit to sco euch a fruit houso as Mr.
Luelling has, containing hunereds of
bushels of choice apples and pears, and
to observe tho process of gathering
and putting away what still remained
in the orchard. Tho Milwaukee Nur
sery also has a goodly array of grapes
hanging upon tho vines, of many dif
ferent varieties, looking luscious
enough to mako an epicure's mouth
water.
Mr. L. showed us specimens of dried
plums and prunes, raised and preserv
ed by himself, that aro excellent ovi
denco of tho ftituro valuo of such pro
ductions; to our State.
Tho nursery contains a very great
assortment of fruit trees of all kinds,
and tho proprietors, (tho firm is S.
Luelling & Son), can fill orders to best
advantage. They have mado fruit cul
turo a study for so many years, and
attend to their business so conscienti
ously, that thoJiaivwjiuKeo,'KUrM3ry"haK
earned a valuable reputation.
One ..feature of the Luelling house
hold strikes a stranger singularly, for
tho family are strict vegitarians and
abjure tea and coffee, meat of all kinds,
salt, pepper, spices, butter, greaso in
any shape aud do not uso fine ilour
oven. Wo shall tako tho liberty of
giving tho bill of fare at tho dinner
table, judging from (ho zeal with
which tho wholo family preach and
practico tho vegetarian theory that
they will not object to a friondly notice.
Tho drink was milk or water, tho sol
ids were mashed potatoes, flavored
with milk without salt, cabbage nicely
cooked with milk, baked sqna.sh, deli
cious baked pears with sugar or byrup,
which wo used freely, sonio of tho best
graham In end wo ever ate, and euch
other articles ay wero consistent with
tho vegetarian principle. Tho only
criticism wo aro disposed to mako !;
that we enjoyed tho ineal exceedingly,
aud after eating abundantly, roso fiom
tho table well t-atWicd and conscious
that no foundation for ill health had
been laid by tho gratification of
appetite.
In this connection wo cannot holp but
moralize a little over human naturo
and its wpaknefw. "Wo put entire con
lldenco in tho statement mado by Mr.
Luelling that during tho thirteen years
they have practiced this sy&tem of life,
using cold baths also with regularity,
tho family haa boon freo from diseaso,
while all wero moro or less tilling prev
iously, and Mrs. Luelling herself was a
confirmed invalid. Mr. Luelling as
sured us that ho had moro strength
now and better health, than when ho
was thirteen years younger and prac
ticed tho former diet. Theso things
being so, wo mufct concludo that tho
family possesses remarkable will Low
er, or thoy couhl not turn appetite out
doors and all becoino philosophers.
npuuMiig oi appetite, jiowovor, wo
wero assured that uppetito whon onco
converted has a better relish for tho
vegetarian diet than it over had in tho
olden times for ' chicken fixings."
FKOJI FIlUITd TO 1'I.OWEIIH.
Stopping at Portland ono nlght.whilo
on our Jourueylngs, wo walked back
from tho river a mile, to tho edaro of
tbo bluffd on the old Canyon road, and
mado a visit to our old friend Mr.
Henry Miller, who used to bo engaged
in tho fruit business at Milwaukee, but
is now cultivating flowers at Portland.
Ho has two acres of ground covered
with shrubs and trees of many varie
ties, and several conservatories and
hot houses that contain exotics of ton
dor growth.
Our readerswill remember that Mr.
Miller last winter wrote many ablo and
instructive articles for tho Fakmuk
concerning his experience in cultivat
ing fruit, in which business ho was
many years engaged at Milwaukee,
and they will bo pleased to know that
he proposes to continuo his correspon
dence with tho Fakmkk in that con
nection. Wo quito enjoyed tho hours
spoilt in conversation with n gentlo
mansowell versed in tho scienco of
horticulture, and so interested in it.
Mr. Miller was well educated in tho
schools and colleges of Germany, which
country ho left moro than -10 years ago,
and during his long residenco in Amer
ica has becomo thoroughly conversant
with our language nnd literature, so
that one need not necessarialy connect
him with any nationality. Ho is very
thoroughly Americanized, nnd his
family possesses all tho features of our
best nnd most cultivated society. Their
homo is well supplied with reading
matter, anil few American homes aro
so well supplied, such reading too as
furnishes tho best staple for thought
and reason to digest.
Iu this connection it strikes us that
many ot our readers may wish to adorn
tKoIr promises with shade anil oriuirnon
tal trees, e'hoico shrubbery or flowering
plants, and o fcuch wo say that by ad
dressing Mr. Henry Miller, Florist,
Portland, they v"-an got anything of the
kind needed, nt A fair price, and a
small sum expended in such mannor
may add greatly to tho bcumty of many
homes and mako them moiv attractivo
to themselves and their frieiuls.
Is It not tlino that ninny of ur far
mers' families commenced to ciltlV!U0
a tttato in horticulture, which wo'1'1'
nrovon gteat plcusuro and enjoyment
to every passor-by in charming tho oyo
and pleasing tho .senses.

self tho dutios of Commissioner, and
seeming to comprehend nothing moro
than tho sale of catalogues at peanut

our prominent stock-breeders, mado

but I honestly think that with fow ex

As tho telegraph has probably an
nounced tho fact ore this that tho

of November, mud things in general
out upon tho fair grounds and in tho

wo view with prido tho hunor.tblo po
sition our Stato has attained lu this
great struggle of nations for supremacy
and count tho days with anxiety when
wo shall again meet our friends In
Oregon.
Iteunlons, however, nntl meetings of
national and international societies,
social, philanthropic, medical aud sci
entific bodies, keep things tolorably
lively, and tho cattlo show, horsoshow,
dog show, sheep show, poultry show,
have thus far rendered tho month of
October really brilliant.
Wo think wo gave you a short notice
of tho horso and dog show, In our last

What is'.a. Seasonable Salary.
Wo loam that at tho mooting of tho Hoard
of Canal Commlsslonors, at Oregon Olty,
last woek, the majority of the Hoard resolved
that they would pay their clerk $1,600 por
annum, one consideration being that aa no

The duties of the ollleo will cauao tho

but tbo performance of thoso duties will otli-,
