It, seems, hoV- | tbe of mud tail but the to saythat aman^faas not.the Hght to buy where he chooses, but'ratbr er that a fair exchange bf' corpmo- dities should take place through the established and necessary channels of trade,: And farmers cannot dp:j without retailers,: try what .ttie^ns tliey.may. We are convinc'M, too, that Grangers make nothing] by buying.as they do.; |Once e^taolish i this, and the whoIerganization be- 'comas^sehemefor the aoqirisition of-wealth' at.the expense of ^others. Certainly a man who is! a'great lover Of himself Wastes the public. A man should be "so true to himself j that he be not false to' others. On this view theihistory of the Grange movement hclds out no hope what"j ever> of its success. . Like other schemes, it will Jive a little while and. die, for it rests on the folly, of; its members expoctingspecial/aVors that cannot1 be granted. If .they paid the retailers as promptly as thay dp jobbei-s' from, wh6m:\they; purehase - thiey would find it, more profitable aved save trouble to them- sel ve$ and others. No body of meh are able to be at once produ cers ai\d merchants.- "And the test thing farmers can da is to aliandon the selfish hope of being so, and stick totheir landf evek this cannot be done. And so far as we can see the union of far mers in Granges neither promotes thrift or satisfactorily solves sth_e problem of obtaining! articles at. a- reddced rate. ~~ {j \y"e are not of thosp who believe in the advantage that.is taken of the poor farmer. On ' thecontrary, it is evident farmers are the shrewd est, lbost calculating^ and close-fist? ed nen we have itr this country.

The-rest of the! roof of Mrs. McNee's house was carried, some 50 yaixls up the; street.
