—One "W. W.," of Viola, accus
es us of persisting in sending him the
GRANGE ADVANCE, although he
don't want it. After reading his
communication, however, we are
forced to conclude that he is a fraud,
for he charges us with opposing the
greenback policy! If he does read
the ADVANCE, (which we cannot be
lieve,) he is evidently too great a
dolt to understand plain English, as
our readers will readily perceive.
We are an anti-monopolist, Mr. "W.
W.," and we don't mean to be driv
en from that faith by either knaves
or fools but we are not willing to
rely upon those who betrayed that
party in 1874 and again last year,
nor to labor merely for the advance
ment of their political fortunes. We
have done all we mean to do in that
direction.
—A correspondent asks us about
the political outlook, saying that to
himself the atmosphere is as dense
as a Newfoundland fog. It is about
as clear to us, but we have enough
faith in the virtue, patriotism and in
telligence ot the people to believe
that they will find their way out of
the fog and into the sunshine of po
litical prosperity despite the ill-ad
vised counsels of political wire-work
ers. If even unworthy men are
permitted to remain in the ascend
ency, they will be closely watched
and forced to do nearly right, and
the necessities of the country will
compel a change of policy to im
prove on that at present pursued.
If we can't get all the good we want,
we must try to get all the good we
can.
—In his new book on the curren
cy, "Crusoe's Coin," David A. Wells
makes one truthful remark. He
says:
All were satisfied, however, that they
ought to talk about it [the currency] con
tinually, and so they did, those who knew
the least talking the most.
A more shallow-pated pretender
than Wells never cursed any coun
try with his presumptuous ignorance
and he is always ready to talk on
any subject and to insist that he
knows all about it. He is the same
chap who advocated that railroad
companies have the right to govern
this country.
—It is not strange that a man who
has been, pretty much all his life,
feeding at the public crib, like our
neighbor of the Republican, for
instance,, should see things in a
slightly different light from that in
which they, are viewed by those who
have preferred to earn their,, pwn
living. They occupy different stand
points, you see." "r\.',..
—Dave Blakely is about to Iqave
the republican party. In Tuesday's
Pioneer-Press, speaking of the con
templated new reform move, which
he thinks may be successful, he says:
"The moment it promises to become
formidable every-political gambler
iquity under the banner of reform
Dave intends to don the red cross.
No doubt about it. He isn't on the
"pension [office] rolls" no more
now-a-days. We are sorry for thethis
new party-
—The editor of the Republican
talks a great deal about the politi
ticians we "trained with a few years
since," and we really wish he would
tell us who. they are, for it has been
so long, since we trained with any
politicians that we have no idea who
he means. Let him give names and
dates.
—Wm. Cullen Bryant, Theo. D.
Woolsey, Alex. J. Bullock. Horace
White, Carl Schurz and others have

orily honorable and worthy men to

ment.
—The Rochester Record is mis
taken as to the cause of our absence
from the Owatonna convention.
We were not there because we had
no business to be there, and because

plish no good for ourself or others.

Trenton Letter.
TRENTOX, Wis. April 18th, 1876
Ed. Grange Advance:—We are now
having our busiest time. Farmers are
sowing and preparing the ground for
seed. We notice considerable clearing
going on in the woods, which betokens
wealthy farms in the future.
Probably there is no section of coun
try as far north as this better adapted
to raising Indian corn than Trenton
prairie and it is a mysterytous why the
farmers thereon do not raise this staple
altogether. The only reason we canble
think of is the market. The city of
Red Wing seems to be a poor market
for if farmers should rush in corn as
they do wheat, it would fall ten cents a
bushel every day, till it would have to be
given away. The trouble is no one
with capital will take hold of it. Surely
there is money in it more so than wheat.
In the fall of 7 3 and 7 4 corn sold at
forty-five cents per bushel, and in
theall
fore the season is over. Now the far
mer has but one general pay day, ands
that i* in the fall and if he has corn he
must sell it then at half the price it
would bring in the spring, in order to
get means to pay his expenses.

is, are not the wheat merchants carry

necessary? Are people blind?
Can not the farmersfindthe warehous

There may be a few farmers who like it,
but it is not upheld by them generally.
Could not some wheat buyers make
arrangements to buy corn? There are
a few feedstores that deal in that line,
but to a limited extent. It is true that
they do not rush on the street to buy.offered.
Thereis no need of it. Almdst anyone
an tell a feedstore when they see it.
We do not wish to criticise, but it
would be a great help to farmers if
some one would take hold and buy corn
in the fall, and anotherthing would be a
help, if some one would start a corn

Billington has gone on the river as fire

the day now.
We attended Tilton's Lecture, and
think it one of the best. His advice
was excellent.
On our recent sojourn in Red Wing
we dined at Morrison's Hotel (known
as Shaw's old stand) and we were wait

for the price found in the city.
Henderson Miller had the misfortune
to have his ferry house burned down on
Sunday night. He lost all he had.
Some miscrenat richly deserves pun

and it must have been a very vile wretch
who would burn his dwelling.

What a Newspaper Should do?
RED WING, April 15th, 1876.
Editor Advance:—A correspondent
in the Zumbrota Independent compli
ments the Republican and Argus of this
city, because of their reticence on the
Midland railroad question, and con
demns you for speaking your opinion
freely concerning that matter. I would
like to ask that gentleman what he
would think of a preacher, who should
maintain silence about some prevalent
immorality, lest he might offend possi
patrons? Or of a teacher, who
should neglect to inform hispupils touch
ing some important truths, because of
the existence in the minds of some of
them of a desire to keep such informa
tion from the others?
It is no more the duty of the preacher
to denounce immorality, or of the teacher
to instruct his scholars thoroughly, than
is it of the newspaper editor to discuss
such questions as the one referred
