Thoy aro tho only romody for ronovaling tho wrongs of our pooplo,—that is, tho working class. Unless thoy wro lived up to and carried out, wo can’ look for mothing bottor than slavery to ourselves aud our childron aftor us. The monopoly is the Govornmont; has the -whole control in evory dopartmont; ond 1t will tako o united offort of all working clasgcs and trados to ronovato and logislate for tho good of all. And thoso offico-seakers, wo havo triod them long onough. Tn niua casos out of ten, we have been botrayed. As in your card, we want tho offico to huut tho man, uot the man the office. Nor Is it those that havo tho.bombagt, o ean blow, thnt have tho DLralna aud the ‘good of ihelr :country at Loart, Youra rrateinally and for the good of our country, T. H. DustnAvLD, FROM 8, I1. ELLIS, MASTER STATE GRANGE OF OI110, Srumsanono, 0., Sept. 1, 187 Your card received. Porsoually I can say that I tully and hoartily indorso tho prdpositions Iaid @own in your Platform, with possibly a littlo modification of the third. Tho present banking systom is.s gigantic monoply now, and I fonr that, with all the modifieationa it could have, it would atill bo & swindlo, Tho poopla's causo, as agninst moaopoly and corruption must succeed, but let us bo cautious iu our oxpresslons and movoments, Such radienl changos cannot bo affocted in too short n timo, without danger of too much of a shock {o our politieal fabrie.

TueNTON, Tenn., Aug, 28, 1873, Your card, gotting forth tho Platform of your party, is at hand. Aw aa individual and » farn- or, I do honrtily indorso it, and think that such & Toform ns is there st forth is much noeded in this Government. With the vast moneoyod mo- nopolios that now are forming in this Govern- mont, how long will it bo that the man of small means can say that he has a governmont that is worth living for? Yowrs, &e., L. I M'Morzny, FROM B, F. NALLOWELL, ¥ASTER WILLOW GROVE GRANGE, TA, AnLrsaTox, Montgomery Co., Pa., Sept. 1, 1873, Your postal card cams to hend to-day, contain- Ing tho Platform of your partyin five distinot statomonts, I fully sympathize with thom. Tho loat clause, in which you say tho ofiico should seek tho man, and not tho man seck tho ofiice, 1 have alwaya considered tho truo principlo of & Republican Govornment. To accomplish that de- Birable objeet, wo must put tho sslarios of ofiice- holders down to somothing noarer tho compen- sation of other business. Tho public oflicors with ue aro mostly taken from the rauks of the peoplo, and thoro is no good renson why thay shiould have four or five timos as much ns other pursuits which aro oqually as ardnous and oqual- Iy a8 rosponsiblo. Thero is no good renson why & Congrossman should have 87,600, whon you oen got oqually a8 good mon for that station for $2,600, What would we think of a man who would buy an ox, horso, or & coal, and give threo times as much ag he could got of othor men oqually ns good? Would wo not think he was fit for nn insane seylum 7 And thet is what wo are doing all the while with our public oflicora. Lawyers and ringmasters have ruled us long enough. Wo must have moro cconomyin our public men, or the Republic will .go the way of all Ropublics, rot down with corruption. I am spinning this letter too long; but, whon I seo tho corrnption that hias cropt into high placos, T nlmost dospair of tho Ropublic, and think that man ia not eapablo of self-govornment., Remain yours evor in reform, B.

As Wapello i8 & small, out-of-thef way place, it.was not expected that many would nitend ; and, as othor meotings woro Leing hold, all around, of grentor ivtereat and magnitude, this ono was not characterized by anything imy goneral, excopt that, ns Ar. Dudley W, Adams, tho Grand Master of tho Patrons of Husbandry,, ! was nunounced to deliver the oponing uddress,, mauy looked forward with a gront deal of intor- ost to hear his views on the present situation.. The moeting was sll its most sanguino frionds. could oxpoct. 'Buch o gathoring of farmors had: nover boforo beon witngssed in that part of the country. It was estimated thatovor 6,000 persons. ‘wore presont ; and, &a for tho profuso and lib- cral manner fn which the wants and tnetes of the inner man wero provided for, noue but thoso, who bave attended puch meolings can conceiver it. IDbeliovo thore wap moro loft than wouldi have mado tho poor of Chicago happy for many” o day. But I snt down to give you sano of my obsor~s vations and refloctions on the tono of foeling manifested by the farmers on the romnarks mades by tho lecturor of the day. Mr. Adams' addross was well got up, and would have buen listonod to and loudly applauded a year ago ; but it was very; ovidont, from tho want of intorost, and apatly, manifested by the audience, that it was noth; quite up to oxpectation. Mr. Adnma has not lenrnod to keop up to the present movomont for reform, but takus the stand that the farmors, by remnining within tho limits of (o old_parilos,,| and uslug their inflaenco to parify, them, caty bring about all the roform desirable. * g Aftor the lecture, tho moeting was addrossed. by’ Miss Julia Garretson, who proved to ba tho load- ing star of tho ocension. Bhe stastod from a {lif- foront pesition altogother from that occupiod by Mr. Adams, She nrgned that tho industrions clnssen must dopond upon themsolves to worl out reforn and retrenchmont; that hoth palit- icul partios had proved roorcant to thoir trust, and were \m“‘orthi of thoe confldenco of tho Houplp thoy bad 8o bnsoly botrayed ; that the in- nstrious classes must” nominato mon -out of thoir own ranks, to bo truly reprosonted, and thoy nacd look for neither sympathy nor nssist- ance from mon that had no interests in common with theirs. Her romarks wore lhstoned to with the groatost intorest, and the trequent bursts of applauso proved thut the feolings of tho su- dicnco were with hor, Now, it is very evident that the poople are waking up to the requiroments of tho present situation, and sre dotormined to havereform. For tho first time, tho farmers and workiy olwacs nro thiukiug for themaelves, on Lavo como to tho conclusion to do- pond wpon themsclvos in tho fatwro. The forco and power of tho presont political movement nro not ranlized by many ; &, liko overything of like charactor i this countyy, tho rapidity with which it is sprending can bolilkonod to nothing but a head-lire on tho prairie, ‘with & strong wind driving it forward.
