THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, May 28, 1874.

THE PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT.

PHEA FI BL K ANU PLATEOHH.' Whekeas, The laboring classes have heretofore neglected totakesuch iart in the primary caucuses of politcal parties as was necessary to secure proper representation of theirinterests nthe legislation of the country, therefore, we, the Patrons of Husbandry of Jasper County, invite all legal voters of said county, irrespective, of former political affiliations, whose views harmonize with those set forth in the Bubioined resolutions, to meet at their respective places of voting on Saturday, May 30th, 1874, for the purpose of holding a People’s primary election to nominate candidates for county officers and to express their choice of a candidate for Representative in the State Assembly from the counties of White and Jasper. Resolved, That we favor,strictest economy in the administration of National, State and County affairs, And in the expenditure of public money; therefore we condemn as unnecessary, unjust and demoralizing the action of those members of Con■gress who voted to increase the salaries of government officers and took back pay, and also of the members of 'our State Legislature at the last sessions thereof who Voted for or accented an increase of their pay, thus evading the provisions of the State Constitution and violating its spirit. Resolved, That we oppose an exclusively protective tariff, which? tends to build up monopolies detrimental to the interests of the many; but tariffs should be so adjusted as to •avoid extremes of Protection and Free 'Trade and prove as nearly as possible •only the means, for collect ing revenue. Resolved, That with an increase of the assessed value of property in the State of Indiana there should have 'been a decrease in the rate of taxation, 'therefore we favor legislation, at the ■earliest possible day, having this object in view. Resolved, That those engaged in agricultural pursuitsconstitutealarge, .powerful, respectable and intelligent •class, whose interests cannot be circumscribed without injury to the Nation, therefore we favor legislation, •both State and National, which has Tor its aim an increase of the facilities 'for transporting: tomarkets thezpro'duets of their fields and pastures and smoh regulations of the tariffs thereon His are demanded by public Welfare and consistent with organic law. _ Resolved, That wo sympathize with all movements aiming to eradicate vice, elevate the standard of .-morals, ami better the condition of ;Sociilty. We recognize the good ac■compllshed by advocates of temperance in our county, and favor the passage of such State laws to regulate •the traffic in intoxicating liquors as •wisdom shall dictate.

Commissioners’ court will be in session next week, commencing Monday. Father Babb, of Remington, sets as good table as any landlord we know of in the State.

It is said to be offered at a bargain. Mart. Warner still sells good beef at the regular price of ten cent? a pound, which is cheap enough all things considered. Mr. M. F. Chilcote, Master of the Masonic Lodge at Rensselaer is at Indianapolis attending the Grand Lodge of that-Order, in the capacity of,a delegate. Potato bugs are as numerous and as industrious, as ev*r. .Eternal vigilance will be the pfice of a potato crop this season. The present supply is being sold for two dollars a bushel,-however.

They > better leave their names with the ' postmaster, and so ought thesecreraries of other Granges, in order that he may know whom to deliver i these packages to. . - ——— . If owners ot property fronting upon the principal streets of Rensselaer, or the town Marshal, would clean out the gutters as Doctor Loughridge has done in front of his office, it would improve the appearance of our town very much and be no detriment to the .health obits inhabitants.

Jasper Grange.

Editors Union:—On the 20th instant I started to Keener township in the extreme north of Ja,sper comity, to organize a Grange oi Patrons of Husbandry. Traveled through Walter and Wheatfield townships and found everybody as busy as bees, plowing,, and planting corn. Finally I got inttfTittTe Keener and expected to sec business going slowly so far away from market, but to my great surprise they arc among the most energetic and wideawake people of our county, frugal, industrious ami intelligent. Notwithstanding they had labored all day planting and plowing, the house where We met by appointment was filled. After a few remarks relative to the objects of our Order, I organized Jasper Grange with an unexpectedly large. mcmbersJiip of thirty; W. J. Granger, Worthy Master, and E. D. Fairchild, Secretary. Now every township in the county is represented with a Grange. We can give the Patron’s grip to farmers in every township in the county from Keener to Carpenter, ami from Newton to Hanging Grove. May God speed the time when the same may be done from ocean to ocean, and hasten the day when monopoly shall respect labor and farmers have justice and equul privileges with ail mankind!

NOT FOR SALE IN BOOK OR NEWS STORES THE ALDINE, wlvle issued with all the regiilm+ty, has u.ffie of the temvoraiy or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. Itis an elegant miscellany of pure, light and ginecfi'.: literature; and a collection of picture*, the rmest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding numtier affords a fre»ii pleasure to its friends, Ibo leal va ue and beeuty of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it lias been bound up at the do e of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of the same class, THE ALDINE is a unique and ofigTßaTconception—alone and uuapproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. 'I he possessor of a complete volume eennot duplicate the quantity of hue paper andengraaiugs in any other shape or number of volumes/or ten times its cost: and then there are the Chromos, besides! AKT »HPAK FMIIAT, 1874. The illustrations of THE ALDINE have won a wurld-wide reputation, antUin 'Mie artcenters of Europe i. is an admitted fact that its wood cuts are examples of the highest jaeriectiou ever attained. ’Jtlse com iioft -prejudice in favor cf “steel plates,” ii rapidly yielding to a more educated and d sciimicatiug taste which ieoogniz.es the advantages of superior artistic quality with greater facility of production. The wood cuts of THE ALDINE possess dl the delicacy and elaborate tinisli of the most costly steel plate, while they ass iid a better rendering of the artist’s original. To fully realize the wonderful work which THE A LDINE is doing for the cause of art culture in America, it is only necessary to consider the cost to the people of any other decent representations of the productions of gieat painters. a In additon to designs by members of the National-Academy, and other n-ted American artists, THE ALDINE will reproduce exam-, pies of the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success and grestesi general interest. Thus the subscriber to THE ALDINE will, at a trifling cost, enjoy in his own home the pleasu es and refining influences of true art. The quatterly tinted vbites for 1674 will be by Thos. Moran and J. D. WoodwardThe Christmas issue for 1574 will contain special designs appropriate to the season,by vnr best artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its predece eors. PRE.IIII'MN FOR 1874.

The subjects were chosen to represent “The East” and “The West.” One is a view in The White Mountains,New Hampshire; tlie oilier gives The Cliffs of Green River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature ot the scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast, and affords a good display of the artist’s scope and coloring The chromos are each worked irnurihirty distinct plate-, and are iu size (12 x 16) and appearance exact lac similes of the originals. The presentation of a worthy example of America's gi-eatest landscape painter to the subscribeis of THE ALDIAL was a bold tut peculiarly happy idea, and its' successful realization is attested oy the following testimonial, over the signature of Mr. Moran hiiutelf. , NtwARK.N.

THE IItTER-OCEAg. ' IM7H. - 1874 r THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. IF'OXI. 1874. EsUiblbbod Inn than two years since o* a Repubitean jmper, pledged to r maiatuin ttnd d fend lh<* ptijriplee and or- ■ gauizalion of the great National Republica.i j party, the Intm-Oolmii has otrained u c’tmul»tio;i and iuilueuce with the nnssee ol its I voters everywhere to entitle It to approach i t)ie commcncHmeut of a new calendar year ' audio prepare for the preliminary work of 1 the next campa’gn, t' e shadow of which is 1 already casting itself upon the county, in the confident belief that it* Irlends will need no oilier specific pledge for the r uture than ' has been given in its columns from day te ' day during tb* past eighteen mor,ths Sitici 1 !|s first publication it has maintained the position cf THE LEADING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTH A EST. to which it- was assigned by universal assent, in the excited canvass which resulted in tho second and triunipliaut election of President Grant. ; THE ENEMIES OFTHE COUNTRY I ore vigilantly at work. Despite the over- ! whelming rebuke admiulitered to them in 1872, the opposiliou are skillfully massfug their forces for a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organization at the next Rials Md-N«l*on«4‘eiectfon s. Encoeraged by the apathy of Republicdns in the “offyear,” seizing the unprecedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hood wink the deep feeling amoug.the agricultural classes for het'er and cheaper modes of triusportatiou than now exist. THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eager for office, is getting itself into readiness to become once more the Ruling Party of the nation. IN THE SOUTH . . the old D. mocracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed into, life by theapparent reverses Rvpublicuuism has suffered in the North. The election of Allen in Ohio, the triumph of Tammany iu New York, and tho few desultory successes which have come to Anti-Republican tickets in various portions of ths West and Northwest, liave inspired •he rebels of IBH with the hope that the day is dawning when the Lost Canae is lo be voted into a victory They Railed to achieve b.y means of the bullet and bayo eU Already R. M. T. Hunter, a former Seni-tpr from V'‘iTgiuia, a ar.d’ a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, lias publish d bis scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South. The Richmond tVa.) IVAiy and Governor Gilbert Wulkrr are urging ltrs plan with all pertinacity j and there can belit tie dou fit that a large party of Southeru Reptesemative* in the Foity-tlilid Congress will be prepareq to advocate lhe payment of this money by tho General Govoruiaent. past history of the Democratic party gives no warrant that It will oppose this infamous robbery of lhe people ol the North for tbebeuefitof traitors: but if the party is true to itself _and its instincts the South will find it and itsrepressututiies a subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT is another scheme that is broadly hinted at in many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the leading Democrats of that section would address themselves, if th? time should ever come wheu a majority of lhe Northern States and the General Government should be in the bauds ol the party which helped the rebels in their work of destroying the Union. These are not fanciful issues. They are real dangers, either to be inst lace to face, or else to be squelched in their inceptiou by the continued successes of that organization which crushed the rebellion, gave freedom to the slaves, acd destroyed the slave-holding Confederacy. ' THE FARMERS know that the Intkk-Oc*an was their earliest, as it has been (heir staunchest and warmest, friend. It is emphatically the oiguu of the people in the best sense of the term, believing in the fullest protection of the rights of the manv against lhe encroachments of the few. It believes that all chartered corporations should be held to be subservient to the power that created them, aud without am infringement <,f tho just rights of others it insists, and will continue to insist, that all corporations enjoying special privileges voted to them by thepeople •shall servo the people fairly uud justly, al a compensation allowing a reasouable profit upon the actual capital employed.
