THURSDAY MORNING, - - • JAN ’ 27 » 18701
<Renwmber the Fanner* meeting *»
Friday evening.
We have two original essay* which
were read before the Farmer’s Club, and
’which will be published in d<ie season.
Remember the adjourned meeting on
Saturday next, to taka farther action
about the location of the Normal School.
Now is the time to take the preliminary
steps in this matter.
Two gentlemen from Farmington,
Minnesota, whose names we have not
yet learned, are about to establish a
foundry and machine abop near Junction
Milla. Success to the enterprise.
Kate Shepard has removed her stock
of Millinery goods into Pingree’s store,
where she is ready to accommodate Loth
old and new customers with everything
in her line.
At a regular communication of River
Falls Lodge No. 109 F. A. M, the fol
lowing named officers, previously elected,
were installed for the following year:
M. W. Gibbs, W.-. M •. Tbos. Cleary,
S-. W.«. T. W. Hammond, J.*. W.«-
D. P. Sanders, Treasurer. O. Strahl,
Secy. W. H. Nichols, S. D. J. M.
Tozer, J. D. C, Stanhope, Tyler.
Wisconsin is to establish a Normal
School in its northwest Congressional
district. Its location is wanted at River
Falls and at La Crosse. River Falls
would be the best place for it, but La
Crosse has the most money and influ
ence to use in securing it.— Red Wing

Normal School.
The meeting here on Saturday last
was quite well attended, and a lively in
terest manifested by all. Judge Foster
wns called to the chair, and A. Morse
acted as secretary. The following reso
lutions were presented and, after consid
erable spirited discussion, passed by a
nearly unanimous vote:
Resolved. That it is expedient for the
people of River Falls and vicinity, to take
measures to secure the I-.cation of the
next State Normal School, within the
limits of this village.
Resolved, That we immediately circu
late petitions in the towns of River Falls,
Clifton, Troy and Kinnickionic, asking
the Legislature to pass an enabling act
authorizing said towns by a majority vote
of their electors, to raise $20,000 on the
taxable property thereof, for the erection
of Normal School buildings iu the vil
lage of River Falls, apportioning the sum
•of SIO,OOO to River Falls. $3,000 to
Clifton, $4,000 to Troy, tnd $3,000 to
Kinnickinnic.
Committees were appointed to canvass
these towns, and report progress at an ,
adjourned meeting to be held at Childs'
Hall on Friday afternoon of this week,
at which a full attendance is requested.
The following memorial is being I
extensively circulated in the St. Croix
Valley. When forwarded to our state
legislature, well signed, it is expected
something will be done to carry out the
wishes of the memorialists, and ensure
them the relief demanded.
To the Honorable Senate and Asssem
bly of the State of Wisconsin:
The undersigned, residents of the St.
Croix Valley, state of Wisconsin, res
pectfully represent that the rapid growth
of monopoly iu the business of transpor
tation of freight within the limits of this
state (as well as elsewhere) demauds
public as well as private attention, and in
view of the fact that we are deeply inter
ested in the matter of freight, we ask
you to enact certain protective and com
pulsory laws to secure the rights of the
people.
First, To hx a maximum rate of tariff
for passengers and freight by which all
the railroads of the state shall be gov
erned. ,
Second, To provide that any and all
railroads shall, at their regular stations
receive, protect and tiansport freight of
all kinds, without distinction or discrim
ination, and forward the same in the
usual manner, under penalty of forfeit
ing their respective charters, together
with all the franchises heretofore gran
ted by the state.
Farmers* Meeting, Jan. 18.
Agreeably to previous arrangement,
a mass meeting of the farmers of the
St. Crone Valley, was held here on Sat
urday last There was a large delega
tion present, yet few had come prepared
to act in any particular direction. The
mass had come to see, to hear and to
act, if action was deemed necessary.
Judge Foster was called to the chair,
and 11. S. Comings was chosen secre
tary.
J. M. Bailey led off upon the import
ance of united effort and action among
farmers. All other classes and profes
sions have their organizations, while the
farmers who compose the very founda
tion of all business relations, are rarely
heard from iu bodies. If it is necessary
that doctors, editors and even school
teachers should have their associations,
in short, if it is necessary that every oth
er class iu society should have specific or
ganization for the purpose of self pro
tcction, and for the purpose of obtaining
more useful and practical information
pertaining to the art or trade io which
they are engaged, then it is highly im
portant that fanners should Dot only
form, but perpetuate Farmers’ Clubs and
kindred associations.
We bad come together for the purpcM
of consulting upon the subjects of.legis
lation and high, unreasonable and exor
bitant rates of freight, and he would
rather listen toothers than make remarks
upon these subjects.
E. B. Holmes was called out. He
believed the legislature has power to pass
protective laws, and regulate the prices
of freight on the railroads in the state.
We have no control over steamboats on
the Mississippi, but we could make spec
ial contracts with any company or line of
steamers, and by an act of the legislature,
could compel any railroad touching the
river in this state, to take their frei a hts.
Or we could contract with the con pany
to take our wheat to Milwaukee, and the
company could take its chances with the
railroads.
By united action we can bring a press
ure upon our legislators, notwithstanding
the fact that there is money in the lob
by. If they will not 8e r ve us they may
as well stay at home, and we must elect
men who will servo us. To day we nre
suffering more on account of high freights,
than on account of the low price of
wheat in market. It costs us 70 cts. per
bushel to transport our wheat to New
York, while it costs only 20 cts. from
California to New York. There will be
many little difficulties to encounter, but
they must be met and overcome. The
same, or greater, exist now’, and the
same, or similar ones always did and al
ways wiil exist.
J. H. Wilkinson said that, though a
majority, the farmers, as a class, are
heavily oppressed by a monopoly. Large
monied combinations rule the state, if
not the nation. These largo corpora
tions have combined, and they nre fast
becoming one formidable monopoly,
whose only object is to oppress the far
iner, and draw tlu Inst remaining drop
of his blood, in the shape of dimes, to fill
to overflowing the already replete treas
uries of monopolisms. Farmers must rise
iu one solid body, and wake up to the
necessity of united nnd efficient action
till they can make these monopolies
shake. Wo must patronize them as little
as possible—we must raise our own
horses, pork and produce generally, and
manufacture at home everything wo need,
saving him both the purchase money and
freight
O. F. Jones entertained the meeting
for about twenty minutes, in an instruct
ive and humorous speech. He had just
been examining a picture, true to life.
There was the soldier who fights for all.
the doctor who prescribes for all, the
merchant -who trades for all, the lawyer
who pleads for all, the preacher who
prays for all, and lastly, in the center of
the group, with one foot upon his apf.de,
the sturdy farmer who pays for all.
Farmers, are the base of society, and
when they prosper all other classes and
professions prosper, and while the arts,
manufactures and professions are equally
necessary, farming is the foundation of
all, and whatever goes to depreciate his
wealth and prosperity, so far depreciates
the prosperity of all. While high freights
and all monopolies were antagonistic to
the fanner’s interest, there were still oth
er causes operating to oppress the farmer
which were worthy of consideration.
Taxes are being paid by the laborers of
the country which should be paid by the
property of the country. The poor man
pays the same tariff on his tea, coffee
and all the luxuries as well as the neces.
saries of life, -that is paid by the rich
man. Our government protects the
property of each alike in proportion to
the amount be possesses, hence the tax
to support the government should be ap
portioned upou the property. But far
mers must unite and be prepared to en
counter and adjust all difficulties. A
chi’d can break a single twig, but a giant
cannot break a bundle of them. Let
farmers go to work with a will, and they
will eventually succeed in all legitimate
undertakings.
Horace Taylor, in an interesting way,
gave many valuable practical hints in a
short space of time, and among other
things, advised farmers to combine, and
make persistent efforts to secure protec
tion and to save their money. They can
do it, and they will do it if they perse
vere. It will take time, great revolutions
are not brought about in an hour, or in
a day. It would, doubtless be useless to
expect legislation this winter that will re
lieve us. Ibis legislation will affect the
entire state, and it may be that the rates
of tariff were now quite as favorable for
river shipments as for interor shipments. :
Let farmers combine and employ some !
transportation company to carry their J
wheat to Milwaukee, or to Chicago, and
they will save from five to ten cents on a
bushel. But insist also upon legislation,
and compel the railroads to take our
wheat ns any otb?r freight from any point
on the river. Like the boy who went
bunting snipes and shot often during the
day, but brought iu no game, we could,
at least, “ call the attention” of (not the
snipes) but the legislature.
Remarks were made by Mr. Clapp,
C. Hutchinson, Cyrus Davis and several
others. A committee of three from each
county, consisting of E. B. Holmes, H.
8. Comings and Wm. Clapp, of St. j
Croix, and J. M. Baiky, A. Morse anl'
F. C. Bliss, of Pierce, were appointed
to draft a petition to the legislature to
pass certain laws to compel the railroad
companies of the state to take wheat at
any landing on the Mississippi river, and
also to regulate the rates of tariff on the
same. It was suggested that the com
mittee correspond with the different
steamboat companies with a view to fu
ture negotiations, provided any thing like
reasonable encouragement shoul 1 be re
ceived.
The fact appeared that a committee
had been appointed in every town in St.
Croix county to secure the organization
of a Farmers’ Club, or some society of
the kind, and to circulate any documents
or petitions that might be deemed neces
sary. It was thought best to have such
a committee appointed in the different
towns io Pierce county, and J. 11. Wil
kinson was appointed for Clifton, John
Beardsley, Trimbelle, C. C. Carpenter,
Maiden Rock, J. Walsingham, Salem,
E. S. Holt, Union, A. E. Holeman,
Hartland, M. C. Guest, Kock Elm, J.
H. Bates, El Paso, Iver Iverson, Martel,
and Norris Kioho, Ellsworth. Tho re
maining towns are supposed to have or
ganizations.
The utmost goo I feeling prevailed,
and the meeting adjourned to the saine
place, the 29th instant, at ten o’clock,
A. M.
The adjourned ineetmg will be held iu
the Congregationalist church, and a gen
eral invitation is extended to the ladies
both at home and abroad.
If farmers have any desire to do anv
thing to alleviate or improve their condi
tion, now is the time to step forward,
and the farmer who says he has •• no time
to spare,” might as well at once despair
of our having any time to spare, either
to live or die. In fact be scarcely de
serves any improvement in bis condition,
morally, mentally or financially, and he
may rest assured that he never will se
cure it. We have but one life to live,
and that is short at best, and it is a duty
we owe ourselves, society and posterity
to make the most of it. M.
Railroad Matters. — It is Row n
well authenticated fact that a large
amount of grading will be performed on
the route of the West Wisconsin Rail
road in tho in the immediate vicinity of
Eau Claire, during the present \v:nter.
A large crew of men are now at work
about two miles out of town, nnd a force
of 75 or 100 more laborers will iinmedi
alcly commence grading on the side hill
in North Eau Claire, under the manage
ment of F. Delaire Co. Grading will
be commenced shortly on the west side
of the Chippewa, nnd the present indi
cations nre, the most flattering fcr this
detached section of Uncle Sam’s do
main, to be shortly attached to tho Uni
ted States, by the invaluable conven
ience of railroad communication. So
mote it be.— Free Press.

Last Sunday, about 9 o’clock A. M.,
the cry of fire rang up and down the
streets of our little village. The house of
Mr. Samuel Warn was on fire, but be
fore serious damage was d< ne it wns ex
