Now if M. l'liillljis cuii tell us how wo can understand these hgures Without say ill' that the I'lihlic Dcht is increasing, wo will gladly listen. I heli to that every voter should iiiulf rstand tho finance of the country. .Some ono will say, ''What do I care nhout finance, I can get along as I hao for years." Now, my friend, it it not tho hard woik that wo do, that makes us intelligent, hut it is thu way we apply our minds. oino men work hard mnl allow some one of his neiglih rs to dictate for him. Now this is not rigltt: every man can learn to understand the working of the Sttto machinery, nml must learn heforo wo get things in tho right shape for our fi'turo wlfare.

Ho stjs, mid 1 liml myself opposed to current thcorifs ujioii so muiy sulijccts, that it would ho difficult to p'cato tho general reader. Now, Mr. K Iitor, ho says he is opposed to current theories; that is, hu is opposed to raising fine horses, cattle, hogs mid shcej). I suppose ho would take all his in senilis, and, when ho goes out to feed, just tell them to root, hog or die. Ho is op pond to putting the laud in good condition to instiro a good crop of gram or hay. Now, Mr. Kditor, thesu have all hecn sulijccts of corrc sji' ndence. How can any man ho opjio cd to such things when that is the life of thn coun try. I dsu't think I havo read nny correspon dence to tho l'.utMKlt hut I gained somo in formation, I would liko to sea mo o than theiu Is. Again, he says, for instance, "tho Ora-igq Is loudly npjilauiled, but 1 fail to sea any good in it ns n ecrct society, hut ns n cur jior.itivu society it might do much good." I don't supjiose ho over was n Oiang-r it tho reason ho cannot see nuv good in It, I P- inemherof seeing nit nrticlo iu tho l'a UMI.lt on tiiu (Irmigers in hum county. I think It was hulking their wool together mid making a clean irofit hy so doing of $2,000 or 8:1,000 iu ono year. Again, in Marion county, last year, tho Oraiigers inadj $100 or $."00 hy sending direct to tho manufactories for their harvesting machinery. Now, friends, if you weru hero when thu (Irnngo first started, you will rememher tht wagons nml luachiiiary enma down 10 and IS nml somo ns much ns "0 jior cent., nml thoso out of tho (irangu rrajied their s'inrunf tliu good tlo Or ugo has ilonc, Tho Orrtuvo is, inrenlity, n eorimntimi. You nsk, how it it? A largo iiumlierof men, nil working for one another's interests, is n cor jioaatiou. Merchants and iiiamifscturernholil their meetings mi I discuss jikus for tho future and ndojit measures that ihey exjiect will, and do remit in mutual hencfit, nml why should not wu do it th' same? And, again, thu odium nml suspicion of n sccict conclave keep out n large nuinW of good men. When n man is so nfr.tid of the odium mid suspicion, hu had hettcr knji out of reach xf them or hu might gut caught, ami if hu does woe lie unto him And ngilu, "why Indu its light under n liil'liel?" I havo shown this plainly hefuiu. that its light is not hid under it hiinhel, Havo not grangers made their hutiilicds nml thotisau Is out of it in this State? We admit that wu meet in tliu graugu to t ilk over our dans mid set them on foot, and then tho light shines, (or dollars). And ngnl", no "stcret society could exist iu n truly iivdinl country!" our friend surely docs not iii-iii to say llieni Is not n eieilinsl country country iu tho world, nnd make jieonlo lie lioto it -that would Ihi jirejHistcriius, I would lute to know what it civilled country is, nnd how wo may liccomi civilired? I think ho wnntcd to sco how it would look In print And n min hu says, "secret societies am org.tuiredti) euaiilo -i lew Designing luun in control tneir lellow-H without heing exjiosed to thn search ing light of puhlic criticism." I think our friend S. is one of thosu designing lutn, so much so, that eiery Isnly knows him mid hu is always lil.iek-lmlled, so ho it going to try it alone, A man may dig, due mid delvo mid shovel along in thu smuu old ditch, mnl never gut any liuttcr oil, unless liu puts on ins tn lik ing cap once in n while, and loo'.; around him tosiowh t other mu doing, mid what im uovcincnts havo Ikcii ni.nlo i.iul nro making iu tiie way of uutehilieiy a.E.il.U.1 tu hin liar ticul ir wants, nml especially tuJi at will help .1 fanner out.
