Platform Adopted by the Illinois Farmers’ Association.

The resofutions adopleTby'tlie Dlinbts Farmers’ Association at its recent convention at Springfield read as follows: Whereas, Through the departure from the primary principles of our Government as promulgated bv its founders, and through the imprudent exercise of that highest prerogative of the freeman, the right of suffrage, we, the farmers of Illinois, in common with the wealth and food producers of these United States, have, through our past action, acquiesced In a system of classlegislation which makes the great majority slavishly subservient to a small minority; and Whereas, This condition is clearly traceable to the fostering protection which has been accorded by the legislative bodies, both State and National, to the financial, mercantile, manufacturing and transporting interests, enabling them to accumulate an undue proportion of the national wealth, and encouraging them in the exercise of the corrupting lobby influences which have become inseparable from our legislative system; therefore, 1. Resolved. That the preservation of our national life imperatively demands that every American voter shall attend with care all primary nominations and elections, so as to insure the election of competent and honest men to all offices in the gift of the people. 2. Resolved, That the record of old political parties of this country is such as to forfeit the confidence and respect of the people, and that-we are, therefore, absolved from all allegiance to them and should act no longer with them. 3. Resolved, That we do not recognize any necessity that public officers should receive extravagant salaries to the end that they may conform to-the demand of expensive and fashionable tastes, which, In their very nature, are antagonistic to republican principles, and, therefore, we demand a reduction of official salaries, including that of the President of the United States to its former basis as soon as can constitutionally be done. 4. Resolved, That we demand the immediate reform of abuses in the civil service, through which the patronage of the Government is dispensed as a reward for partisan service rather than with regard to the public necessities. 5. Resolved, That we are in favor of improving and perfecting the navigation of our principal lakes and rivers and .water connections, and we urge the immediate improvement of the mouth of the Mississippi River. 6. Resolved, That the right to exchange the products of labor is coextensive with the right of ownership. We submit to all needful taxation for the support of the Government, but denounce all taxation levied for the benefit of special classes. We hold that the existing duties on clothing, lumber, salt, iron and steel are not only unnecessary to the successful prosecution of these industries, but oppressive to labor, and tend to create monopolies, while at the same time they furnish a pretext for extravagant charges for railway transportation. 7. Resolved. That we deprecate any further grants of public lands, or loans of public credit, and of National, State or local subscriptions in aid of corporations. 8. Resolved, That we demand the repeal of the National Banking law, and that the Government shall supply national paper money directly from the Treasury made a full legal tenderjfor all debts, public and private, including duties, on imports, to be interchangeable for registered bonds bearing 3.65 interest. 9. Resolved, That, instead of increasing the revenue of the National Government to meet its expenditures, we are in favor of reducing the expenditures to meet the revenues. 10. Resolved, That we hold that our Patent laws arc too often made to subserve the interests of monopolists, and should be carefully revised and restricted. 11. Resolved, That we are oppose d to a construction of the State Constitution which will justify, under any pretext whatever, annual instead of biennial sessions of otir State Legislature. 12. Resolved, That the existing railroad legislation of the State should be sustained and enforced until thoroughly tested before the courts; that we oppose any legislation by Congress under the plea of regulating commerce betw’een the States which shall deprive the people of their present controlling influence through State legislation. 13. Resolved, That the right of the Legislature to regulate and control the railroads of the State must be vindicated, established and maintained as an essential attribute of State government, and that these holding the doctrine that railroad charters are contracts in the sense that they are not subject to legislative supervision and control have no just appreciation of the necessary powers and rights of- a Tree government, and we will agree to no truce and submit to no compromise short of complete vindication and re-establish-ment of the supremacy of the State Government in its right, through its Legislature, to supervise and control the railroads of the State in such a manner as the public interest shall demand. 14. Resolved, That we uncompromisingly condemn the practice of our public officials in receiving free passes from railroad managers. 15. Resolved, That we demand a reduction of all public expenditures, to the end that taxation may be reduced to the lowest possible limit. IS. Resolved, That the present Revenue laws should be so amended as to require County Clerks to carry out the tax for State purposes on the equalized assessment as made by the State Board of Equalization, and taxes for county, township, district and other taxes on the equalized assessment as made by the County Board of Equalization. 17. Resolved, That we are in favor of the adoption of a revenue system as nearly similar to that of Pennsylvania as our circumstances will permit. 18. Resolved, That the association again extend a cordial invitation to all industrial organizations and individuals to join in every effort to throw off the burdens imposed on the industrial glasses by the encroachments of aggregated capital in the hands of monopolies. 19. Whereas, We recognize the necessity and importance of making the independent Reform party a national one, in both character and influence. and recognizing the fact that a call has been made for s National Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, March 11, 1875. to consider the general interest of the industrial classes and the formation of a national party; be it 29. Resolved, That this convention do elect one delegate, with alternate, for each Congressional district of the State to attend the couvention at Cleveland as provided for. —An injunction against a New Haven manufacturer of Vulcanized rubber for dental plates was recently rendered valueless by his strange conduct. Being summoned before the court at Hartford, it took four men to get him on board the train, as he said. he had a warning that the train would be wrecked; and when he reached the court he declared that it had been wrecked and he had been killed, his spirit only being present before the Judge. Being asked why he had not obeyed the summons before, he said he had been advised not to by “ the Lord Jesus Christ.” The Judge told him that no cant was wanted there, and he remarked: “ That’s what Festus said to Paul,” and as nothing more could be got out of him he was supposed to be crazy and was discharged, and is still at work on his rubber plates. —Lake Huron’s length is 260 miles; greatest breadth, 100 miles; area, 29,482 square miles; discharge at outlet, 283,725 cubic feet per second; deepest sounding, *702 feet; elevation of surface above the sea, 578 feet.

Grange Slanders.

There is no end to the efforts of our enemies to sow dissensions among the ranks of the Patrons. No stone is left unturned to accomplish their purpose. No lie is too base to be uttered and re}>eated, even in the face of the most pos* tive contradiction, accompanied by proofs of the falsehood of the utterance. We are led to these remarks at this time by noticing a late article in the Atta and other journals, republished from Eastern Sapers, in relation to the finances of the rational Grange. This article is but a rehash of what has been often published before, and is as baseless ah those upon the same subject which have preceded it. Full refutations of these falsehoods appeared in the Rural Press of Oct. 81 of last year. It is really astonishing to see how little discretion or common sense is displayed by those who hope thus to hoodwink and deceive the toiling and suffering farmers of the land into a distrust? of the only general and the most complete organization ever organized for their welfare and protection. We can account for such things only upon one or two hypotheses: Either these slanderers are assuming that the members of the great producing army of the Union are so debased and ignorant as to be totally unable to’ distinguish truth from falsehood and candor from deceit, or the traducers themselves are so steeped in the infamy which overhangs and seeifisa to envelzyp“Wff "greatTnasß"uf _ Government officials at Washington and elsewhere that they themselves cannot distinguish right from wrong—and hold all public money, of whatever character, legitimate Blunder for those who can reach it. We rather hold to the latter, from the fact that every slander of this kind, so far, seems to have originated from some correspondent or newspaper editor in or near that great sink of iniquity —Washington city. We are not astonished that such things should emanate from such a source; but we do feel some surprise to find them reproduced in journals published in this city which lay claim to a reputation for fairness and honesty in the discussion of matters pertaining to public interest. — Pacific Rural Press.

BREVITIES.

An Austin (Tex.) paper advertises to be raffled for, “ an Indian outfit, consisting of a bow and quiver and an Indian scalp. There is also one white feather on a string, showing that a white man had been killed by the Indian to whom it belonged.” ~ Hasty Bread Pudding. Put one quart of milk in a porcelain kettle, set it over the fire, butter slices of bread and crumble in until thick, beat three eggs, add sugar and flavoring as for custard; when the milk is hot pour in the eggs, well, take up and serve. A report comes from London that Mr. Disraeli is to be married again. As the venerable statesman is within twelve months of his seventieth birthday it would be remarkable if in his old age and infirmities he should seek another consort. It has always been supposed, too, that his extreme affection for the estimable lady vvhoni he married when he was over sixty, and who died two years ago, -would prevent another matrimonial alliance on his part. In Springfield, Mass., recently, a young .married woman became possessed with the idea that her proper vocation was that of a novelist. So she secretly began a thrilling story in which the hero was to be strangled' by his Jealous wife. Into the murder scene she determined topour her whole soul, and in order to properly describe it she went to the bedside of her sleeping spouse and, placing her hands about his neck, choked him into insensibility. He knocked her down with a chair as soon as he revived, and the novel went into the Stove. There recently died in the north of France, at the age of eighty-three, a miser who lived alone, and whose hut, when examined by the authorities after his death, proved a sort of gold snine. His pillow alone contained 19,000 francs in gold pieces of the time of Louis XV. and XVI. He had a taste for old pieces. He had been robbed many times, and the thieves were generally detected through the antiquity of the money they stole. The total of the sums robbed from him in his life, for which men have been convicted and sentenced, reach 100,000 francs. A bachelor in Omaha, Neb,, who was the fortunate possessor of a house ready furnished, recently effected a most advantageous arrangement. He found a pleasant family anxious to take boarders, and willing to take his house and furnish him with board and part of the profits for the rent. This arrangement worked very pleasantly for the bachelor until the other morning, when he awoke and found the family gone and himself with a house full of boarders to provide for. At last accounts he was trying to extricate himself from the dilemma. Only the female spiders spin webs. They own all the real estate, and the males have to live a vagabond life under stones and in other obscure hiding-places. Jf they ccme about the house so often as to bore the ruling sex they are mercilessly killed and eaten. The spider’s skin is as unyielding as the shells of lobsters and crabs, and is shed from time to time in the same way to accommodate the animal’s growth. If you poke over the rubbish in a female spider’s back-yard among her cast-off corsets you will find the jackets of the males who have paid for their sociality with their lives — trophies of her barbarism as truly as scalps show the savage nature of the red man.—Prof. E. S. Morse. The annual report of the International Executive Committee of Young Men’s Christian Associations reports the following list of Young Men’s Association buildings, with their valuation: NewYork city, $500,000; Philadelphia, Pa., $260,000; Chicago, 111., $30,000; Boston, Mass., $150,000; Cincinnati, Ohio, $40,000; San Francisco, Cal., $100,000; Montreal, Can.. $60,000; Washington, D.

A Beautiful Woman. —The perceptive faculty of women ia usually keener than the same phrenological organ in men. Woman knows that beauty rather than genius is worshiped by the sterner sex. A man may talk with his lips of the latter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the woman knows he is thinking of the former in his heart. All women have an innate desire to please their beaux. They are fond of admiration, hence one of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand secret of female beauty is health —the secret of health is the power to eat, digest and assimilate a proper quantity ofc wholesome food. Take Vinegar Bitters. It will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital organs, give a perfect digestion, purify the> blood, clear up the complexion and produce a state of mental and physical electricity which gives symmetry of form, bright eyes, white skin, glossy hair and a genuine type of female loveliness which no cosmetic can compare with. . 19 No use of any longer taking the large, repulsive, griping, drastic and nauseous pills, composed of crude and bulky ingredients, and put up in cheap wood or pasteboard boxes, when we can, by a careful application of chemical science, extract nil the cathartic and other medicinal properties from the most valuable roots and herbs, and concentrate them into a minute Granule, scarcely larger than a mustard-seed, that can be readily swallowed by those of the most sensitive stomachs and fastidioua tastes. Each of Drf Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets represents, in a most concentrated form, as much caTHartic power~as is embodied Irt any of the 1 large pills found for sale in the drug stores. From their wonderful cathartic power, in proportion to their size, people who have not tried them are apt to suppose that they are harsh or drastic in effect, but such is not at all the case, the different active medicinal principles of which they are composed being so harmonized, one by the others, as to produce a most searching and thorough, yet gently and kindly operating, cathartics. The Pellets are sold by dealers in medicines. We received a very pleasant letter of thanks from our old friend Kendall, since his return home, for a bottle of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment which we gave him and which he-says has entirely cured him of the troublesome and dangerous cough he had when here. On the death of one of England’s most eminent physicians all his effects were sold by auction, and among other things was a sealed packet, marked “ Advice to Physicians,” which brought a great price. The purchaser, on opening the packet, read as follows: “ Keep the head cool, the bowels open and the feet warm.” If physic is necessary use Parsons' Purgative Pills; they are the most scientifically prepared pill that ha» appeared in the last hundred years. Wilhoft’s Fever and Ague Tonic.—This medicine is used by construction companies for the benefit of their employes, when engaged in malarial districts. The highest testimonials have been given by contractors and by the Presidents of some of the leading railroads in the South and West. When men are congregated in large numbers in the neighborhood of swamps and rivers, Wilhoft’s Tonic will prove a valuable addition to the stock ‘Of medicines, and will amply reward the company in the saving of time, labor and money. We recommend it to all. Wheelock, Finlay & Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. For Sale by all Druggists. Important to Consumptives.—The long-looked-for specific for the cure of Pulmonary diseases is found at last.
