Evidently crucifixion of "Pom." is now the one thing only needed to complete the picture and perfect the comparison, for before the crown always goes the cross. We trust this slight matter of ditlereuce between Christ and Poineroy—according to the belief of the lulter— may be reconciled at. once.

Tr being agreed upon that the ^phrase specie payment applies alike to that redemption of notes which exists'when there is what is technically known as a mixed currancy, i. e., paper promises to pay, with part specie backing, and to that also which exists with a mercantile currency, the question then comes ns to tbe relative merits of the two systems. Just at present the country has what is known as a credit currency. The national bank notes are not convertible into coin except at a discount. Tbe banks of issue will not redeem them in coin.

As a favor, they might, for a national bank note,give the holder a greenback, which could then be converted into coin, by going into Wall street, or any other place where gold might be had, and paying from a dollar and teu to a dollar and fifteen cents for every dollar of it. redeemed by the greenbacks.

They shot quite a nice lot of prisoners the other day, among the in being a Brigadier General or two. The curse of butchery WHS all right until it came back upon them.

THE

Greeubacks are Government in

Specie payments will have been accomplished when greenbacks and natioual bank notes are brought to par, and the Government or banks of issue pay for them gold, dollar for dollar. There is one reason why they are not now at par, and that reasou is that there are too many bank notes in circulation. If the number shall be reduced, their value will increase. This ought, not to be done violently or suddenly. Tho first result will be a mixed currency, with very much more paper out than there is gold to redeem it with, but inasmuch as in ordinary times not everybody will want to convert his bank notes into gold, there may be specie payments when there are three or four dollars of paper out for every dollar of gold in tbe vaults. By reducing still the quantity of paper, and increasing the quantity of fold on hand, the mixture may be mide more and more valu iblejust as"stonesoup" is made better and better by putting in more meat, vegetables, and other nutritious articles. This process can be continued until we shall have a mercantile currency.

Now, to be explicit, the

Ii'

GAZETTE

is in favor, first of a dilute-mixed currency, as being better than the unadulterated credit currency we j-V-Liiow have*. Then of strengthening and improving tltfft mixture so that

has chanced it» mind.

It don't want to secure the specie basis right now. It desires a "dilutemixed currency," for the present, and then a system of vigorous contraction of the circulation until everything is bottomed on gold and based on metal. The "dilute-mixed" may be a very noble conception—and the

GAZETTK

should patent it right off.—Express. There was a man once who originated the idea of a very cheap soup, which was designed to alleviate the wants of the stomachs of the poor, without making any serious drafts upon their pockets. It was pre-emi-nently the laay man's soup, requiring only two of the simplest of ingredients, easily procurable, without money and without price. He called it stone soup. We are enabled to lay the recipe before tbe readers of the

and we do so, in the fer

vent hope that it may prove a boon indeed,to those imaginative creatures who can fancy a nation becoming rich by the limitless multiplication of paper promises to pay, or freeze their ears by thinking of frosty Caucaasu*, or live on bananas by dreaming of the equator. But to tbe recipe. You put an iron pot on the stove, and In it a quantity of nice fresh water, proportioned in amount to tlie number of stomachs to feed. Then, after carefully wash ing it, place in the pot with tbe water a fine, large stone. The soup derives its nam* from tbe kind of stone of whicli it is made. If of Granite, the soup is called granite if of gneisse, tbe soup takes the same name. Great care, it will, therefore, be observed, must bo taken with the stone. Boll violently as long an

wood,

coal or chips last. Serve in quantities to suit appetites. This is stone soup. Jf there be any cavillers who think the soup thin, or too dilute, it arises from a lack of flavoring which can be put in to

BUit

their tastes,

while the soup is boiling. A shin bone improves and thickens it. A few noodles thrown in thicken further the dilute mixture and,boiled up,with ithelp it. Vegetables add to its nutritious qualities, aud pepper and salt give a piquancy and relish to it. However, these are all really unnecessary adjunct* to the pure and unadulterated stone soup, though they do make it, it is said, more palatable, aud thicken up the dilute mixture until it sustains life and comforts the stomach, if it does draw upon the purse strings aud make demands on the muscle that it sustains.

There is something of the stone soup about our currency. Very inexpensive, the amount of sustenance it yields is proportioned to the labor expended on its production. It is rags ground up, watered, made into paper, and printed on. Like stone eoup, it is capable of improvement by putting iuto it some of those sovereign representa lives of labor, and chief comforters of depleted purses—gold and silver. A little of these helps the paper. When a dollar of gold can be procured for a dollar aud a half face value of paper, it is better than when it takes two dollars to get it. When a gold dollar costs only a dollar and a quarter, it is better still. Better still is it when it costs only a dollar and ten cents. Better still when a dollar will get a dollar, though it be in quiet times only, and more lias to be paid for it during a panic. A half loaf is better than none. Times are steadily improving as the thickening process goes on, and the possibility of a panic preventing such convertibility of paper at par into coin diminishes. There is no pateut on these ideas. They, have been the property of the world for ages. A little midnight oil is the only money a capable mind has to pay for them. They can be found in hundreds of treatises, ascim the propositions of Euclid and aro almost as couclu-

opposition members of tlie Il

linois Log ifdut uro, met in caucus at Springfield on Wednesday evening, to inaugurate a new departure iu politics. After the preamble and resolutions bad been adopted, excepting the last two resolutions, Governor Hendricks, who, it seems, has been over to Springfield witli a view of preserving peace between the two Commonwealths, entered the hall, and in response to an invitation addressed the meeting. He seemed to be mildly persuaded that the—where they were he did not mention—3,000,000 Democratic voters would not like to disband. This seemed to raise some doubts in the minds of some present of the wisdom of their course in passing the preamble, and after the passage of the two remaining resolutions, which had not yet been acted upon, a motion was made to reconsider tbe motion. Considerable confusion ensued, which served to show that he who counted on there being 8,000,000 of Democratic voters in the country reckoned without his host. The motion to reconsider did not pass, so that the following may be taken as the view of existing parties, held by a large number of the three million voters which Democratic orators delight to refer to, with all the pleasant pride of therailbmaid,whose imaginings gave *birth to the exquisite absurdity of counting one's chickens before they were hatched.

This is the preamble: Political parties are but aggregations of citizeus having a common belief, and exist only by consent, yet they are bound together by strong ties ana obligations that cause them to assume as definite existences and functions as corporations. They make history, and create friends and enemies. They live or die by the records they make. The acts of their representative meu are politically as binding upon them as the acts ot an agent are upon his principal.

We hold that parties long established should not be abandoned for light and transient causes, but when any party lias become unsuited to the times and wants of the people, or has failed upon repeated trials to afford reliof, that it is the duty of the people to form new alliances or organizations for the promotion of the public welfare.

Wo recognize as facts not to be disguised that the Democratic and Republican parties have arrayed the people of the United Sfates upon opposing lines that each at this time has no other reason for existence than the continued election ot office-seek-ers to place that each has furnished its due proportion of the allies of nearly every public wrong that has been inflicted on the people for the last decade that the one In power has led in every scheme of public plunrter that the one out of power has had many leaders in office who have proved unable to withstand the allurements of plunder offered for division by their powerful opponents that of late years neither in Congress nor elsewhere has either placed itself upon the side of the people by its acts, and the votes of its servants that, on the contrary, these false servants and leaders, by the powerful machinery of caucuses and conventions, have control of their respective parties, and thereby secured the offices only to betray important trusts, delude their friends, and destroy tbe hopes of their supporters and of the country

asserts that a bank

can make specie payment when t^*re are three or

four

dollars in paper "lit

to every dollar in coin in its vaults. The evening paper uses so much circumlocution in making this assertion as to force the conclusion upon the gentle reader, that it is ashamed of its positiou. Well may it bo.—Express.

Our contemporary is mistaken. The

GAZKTTE

IS not ashamed of its

position. If now aud then tbe roseate colors mantle our classic features, it is i.ot the blush of shame, but rather flu fluxh of sympathy for one benighted and alone. To instruct and enlighten is a high privilege, tiresome, of course, sometimes, and never more so than when reason is bafed on facts notoriously erroneous and couched in language at variance with all usage, but never shameful. But, of course, we understand, that what the Express Fays is to be taken in that Pickwickian sense in which it delights. It does not mean that it thinks the

SIH

GAZETTE

is ashamed of informing it about several very plain things. Its idea is that it don't see how we had the patience to keep repeating common matters of information which it ought to have familiarized itself with before venturing abroad. Therefore, it is to the credit of the Express that, at last cognizant of the absurdity of the positions it maintained, in direct variance with mankind in matters of fact where fact was omnipotent, and questions of language where usage was decisive, it is willing to make acknowledgment in such strong terras as is conveyed by the statement that it thinks the GAZETTE ought to be ashamed to argue such points. We assure the Express, however, that we are not. Moreover, now that these two facts have been established, viz. That banks with more paper out than they have gold in their vaults, have and can, in ordinary times, redeem their notes in gold aud that such redemption or payment in specie is specie payment, if the Express will be a good little boy, the GAZETTE will show it how such specie payment is possible. The facts are laid down in the books, but the Express seems averse to going there for them, or in fact doing anything about the subject other than evolving theories from its own consciousness.

a rule, by paymeut of specie

therefor, is specie payment. Therefore, we «ny that that system which the Express, in its knightly warfare against mankind, is pleased to call a phase of, and is

mon with several other phases, specie payment.

"dilute-mixed currency" is ex

plained at last. It means to secure specie payments by the banks issuing three or four dollars in paper to every dollar in coin. It would take this free American people just about sixty m'nutes ot any fair day to lift all that coin out of the vaultsand break every bank in the country. The "dilutemixed" is too thin—too very gruelly. —Express.

Sixty seconds would suffice for all the human beings on this fair round world to break their legs, if with one accord and simultaneously they should climb to third story windows and drop thence. When it shall have digested this statement, and satisfied itself that, its correctness hangs upon conditions not unlike those which it presupposes for the.'! "sixty minute lifting of coin out of the vaults." There are just three possible courses for tbe Express, if it shall make its future reasoning consist withitapa8t. It can destroy all the three-story buildings, or burn up the clocks, or determine, in that naive way it has of placing its opinions in matters where usage makes the law, against that of the world, that only broken-legged creatures are worthy to have around.

We suppose the thought that everybody will not go up to third story windows and drop down, now that they4know tliey can do it, is be' yond the compreheusion of the Ex press.

we wrong the Express in this statement, we shall be glad to make reparation, but our idea of its position is, that to prevent banks from breaking through failure to meet their obligations, it proposes to legalize repudiation and call dishonor honor. Banks that undertook to keep their promises to pay, it has observed, sometimes, failed during pauic. Casting about for a remedy for failure, it lias hit upou the plan of producing a perpetual and universal conditiou of mouitary affairs, iu no respect differing from that which under the old regime necessitated the closing of hanks as being dis houored institutions. Tacitus describes a similar piece of cruel ingeuuity upon the part of a Roman Emperor, who with fire and sword, in Britania, produced a solitude and called it peace.

ZETTE of a card, over the signature of four gentlemen, residents of our city, wherein w«s staled explicitly that they detected Laura Morgan in tl»e act of producing so-styled Spiritual manifestations, at a seance the eveniug previous at Pence's Hall, was made the occasion by Mr. James Hook of writing a card which was published in the

GAZETTE

of Satur

day. In that card Mr. Hook explains tlie alleged detection of tbe trick upon

hypothesis, the origination

of which reflects infinite

credit

upon

his ability to snatch victory from defeat, and to turn tbe most adverse circumstances into a triumphant vindication. For the kindly manner in which Jie alludes to tbe

GAZETTE

Now, what is Mr. Hook's faith. A little girl was locked or tied in a box by her father, with a tambourine and a drum stick on a table immediately In front of her. A committee came iu and looked at her, and said she appeared to be tied, and in such a manner that they could not see how she herself could hit the tambourine with the drum-stick. The lights were put out in the cabinet and the doors closed, and shortly thereafter the tambourine was heard rattling. Mr. Morgan opened the doors several times, and nothing was seen out of the way. Fiually, however,four credible witnesses—believers in personal responsibility, aud not holding the faith that if they lied about it, they could shove tlie whole blame on their ancestors, by the hocus-pocus of "ante* uatal causes producing corresponding effects"—saw the girl drop something and draw her hand back. Their conclusion at once was that the girl had not been tied so that she could not get at the tambourine—th« previous belief of the committee to the contrary, notwithstanding—but that she did reach it, did beat upon it, and did try to draw her hand back so as not to be caught when the door was opened. The very few persons still believing in the genuineness of the Laura Morgan manifestations after her terrible failure to do anything iu the joiut seances with Baldwin, or had supposed, would, after this expose, have all agreed that she was a trickster. Not so Mr. Hook. This discovery—damaging and fatal to all Laura Morgan's pretensions to mediumsliip—by that convenient doctrine of placing all the responsibility for folly on the antenatal causes—becomes in the hands of Mr. Hook a glorious proof of the truth of Spiritualism. These men did notcatch ber. They thought they did, but they weie mistaken. What tlie^r adtually saw was a spirit around'the folds of" Laura's dress, aud vanishing as a spirit haud there and theu, for it was not discoverable when the committee visited the cab iuet. Mr. Hook regards the-e gentlemen now as possessed of clairvoyant power. He knows it must have been a spirit hand for two reasons. (1) Because the committee said her father had tied her tight. Mr. Hook has never heard a committee make the same report in reference to Baldwin, and seen him not only do the same things, but show how he did it. Mr. Hook never attends Baldwin's seances, for Baldwin, by confession, is a trickster, and a disbe lieverin tbe doctrine of "ante-natal causes producing corresponding effects." (2) Others who*were present in the room, did not see the almost instantly vanishing spirit hand which the four clairvoyants did.

It will be observed that Mr. Hook, according to his own representations possesses valuable qualifications for a juror—that is to say qualifications for a juror" rendering him valuable to the prisoner in a criminal trial. We can' imagine witness after witness, in unbroken succession, testifying before this doughty believer in "ante-natal causes" and clairvoyant power, that they saw tbe defendant take a certain piece of cloth from a certain counter, and secrete it about her person, and leave thestore serene and lovely.

Then comes the defense with a cloud of witnesses, who were in the store, some looking at the prisoner and some not, but all testifying that they did not see her take the cloth. Stili others declare that they saw the prisoner enter the store, and

To BELIEVERS iu and advocates for equal and exact justice, it Is gratifying to know that a juror was challenged yesterday for the State in the Woolen murder trial. Perhaps at the next murder trial it may not be too much to expect some inquiry to be instituted calculated to ascertain whether or not there may not be some believer in capital punishment in the panel who ought to be put off. The man who was put off of the jury yesterday, by the State, was rejected because he had terved oil a jury within a year.

THE

excusing it

from all blame for an obtuseness which is unable to grasp^the facts and principles underlying the Spirit ual philosophy," we cannot be too grateful. We know not which most to admire, the charity which prompted him to hold blameless us revilers, or the ingenuity which suggested to bifa that we were guiltless because Spiritualit-m teaches that "ante-natal causes produce corresponding eflects, and we would be going back on what we teach, to blame you for being what you are." If, however, the object of this sublime compassion and forgiveness is to inculcate a reciprocal application of the doctrine, we must dissent at once. We ueitber know nor care anything for the "an-te-natal causes" at work years ago, "producing corresponding effects" in the case of Mr. Hook. Him and his faitli we have. The inexorable law relating to tubs—that each shall stand on its own bottom—must be applied in this case. This thing of damning one's ancestors, to escape unpleasant deductions, is not treating tbe dead with proper respect.

was

so attired .that in their unprofessional and unkleptomaniac opinion, she could not have taken it and concealed it about her person. Then still others declare that they knew of a person dressed in the si me fashion who, not only, had stolen property in the same way, but had owned up to it and shown how they did it. If any prosecuting attorney should imagine that on such evidence he could obtain a verdict of guilty from a jury on which Mr. Hook sat, he would be mightily mistakeu. Mr. Hook would say that' they wild saw the theft committed were clairavoyants, and that it was a spirit which took the cloth. All of which would be of course, very satisfactory to the merchant and calculated eminently to make Mr. popular as a juror among the crimiual classes.

But Mr. Hook is not a juror, and not likely to be. He, with perhaps a dozen others, rest their belief upon tlie existence of a future life, on tbe genuineness of these or similar manifestations, and far be it from us to shake that belief.

Respectability Responsible for their Issue. "The Galled Jade "Winces."

Editofs Evening Gazette: I think it is high time that the moral and religious portion of this and every other community should arouse and rebuke, in an effectual manner, the rum traffic, and its aiders and abettors. A minister of the Gos' pel remarks, In a speech, that ifthere were any names of respectable citizeus of the Second Ward, attached to petitions for license to sell liquors, he had not seen them. What a howl of persona

Vri~ tliaf warH, who "are very

respectable, and who signed such petitious. They rush into print, to prove their respectability. I do not think that their respectability will be enhanced by the fact being made known that they signed such petitions. The time has gone by when the game of bluff can be played with any show of success, by liquor sympathizers in this city.

One man put on the coat which Mr. Howe cut for him, and made a wry face. That man, the moral and religious votes of this city and county elected to office not long since. The shoe pinches his toes. The galled jade winces. He and his colleagues have pandered to the liquor interests by granting license to sell to about every applicant. They either did not exomine the tbe petitions or they did examine them. If they did not examine them to ascertain whether or not they were signed by tbe proper persons, or in a proper manner, or by the required number, they had no right to grant them. If they did examine them they knew that most of them wete fraudulent. Hence, take either horn of the dilemma they

lease, our Board of Commissionors been guilty of acts which respectable people are uever guilty *of committing. Again we must look at some more of these respectable people, these innocent souls. Is it respectable to rent rooms for saloon purposes, in which men.and boys, and even women, are ruined, soul and body Is it respectable for any man, no difference how wealthy or how wisfe, to asstst their deyilish trafJic by aiding men to carry on such a nefarious business, so far as to sign their petitions for license? Such men are'not considered respectable by tbe better portion of the community. Such men cannot expect the support of decent men at tbe poils any longer. This truckling to this hellish traffic must cease at the bar, upou the Judge's- bench, and among all the servants ot the people, or such officeholders will be swept from position and pow^r by the voice or an indignant people.

Editors Evening Gazette: We clip the following from a Washington, (D, C.) letter to Zion's Herald, Boston. It will encourage our temperance committee who are doing a good work, and are worthy of our confidence and hearty support:

A temperence revival isiu progress here. Faithful and persistent attention for several years tin the part of a number of earnest Christian men who felt called to the work, has resulted in positive and greatly encouragiug indications iu tavor of the temperance movement, which ere long will be felt by the whole nation Rev. Di*. Checkering, a Congregational minister of your State, has been a faithful and chosen leader in this movemeni, and he has had good men to follow, whose names we will give hereafter.

Yesterday afternoon an immense meeting was held iu Lincoln Hall to help along the cause, and it got a good lift. The large ball was packed with men aud women as eloce as they could crowd, and hundreds went away unable to get inside the door. Senator Buckingham (Conn.) Sresided prayer was offered by Rev. ). Owen of Union Chapel, Methodist Episoopal Scriptures were read by Dr. Chickering. The effective speech was made by Hor. Edward Young,t,Chief at the Bureau of Statistics, who presented these remarkable and authentic figures. The quantity and value of liquors sold at retail in the United States in the year 1873. was, whisky and other domestic spirits, 63,000,000 gallons, at $0, equal to $378,000.000 imported spirits, 2,433,000 gallons, at $10, equal to $24,330,000 10,921,508 gallons, at $5, equal to $54,600,000 fermented liquors, 8,910,000 barrels, at $20, equal to $17,820,000 domestic wines, brandies and cordials at least $21,000,000 total, $656,000,000. Mr. Young gave a variety of calculations showiug what this money would do applied in other and better ways. He stated that if the 169,290 retailers of the poison were able to purchase a year's supply, and retain their receipts, nearly the whole currency of the couutry would be locked up, and what a cry would come to Congress for more!

Other addresses were made by A M. Powell, Secretary National Tem perance Society of New York, Rev. Dr. Ives, and Hon. Wrm. E. Dodge aud the Hutchinson family added to the power of the meeting by siugiug some of their stirring songs. These meetings are held monthly during the session of Congress, and each one seems to be a more effective blow than the preceding. The liquor ring is already feeling sore over these assaults and as the movement is intended particularly to reach national legislation, your readers may not be surprised to wake up some day and read iu their papers that our land has rid itself, as far as legislation can accomplish it, of a slavery not less hellish or hideous than that other oue abolished not very long ago.

Douse of 111-

amc.

From the St. Louis Democrat.

Several of the inmates of Madame Stillmau's house of ill-fame, on Christy avenue, sent a note to Rev. Mr. Hammond, the Evangelist, asking him to call and hold a prayer meeting in the house. Mr. Hammond never refuses to go where he thinks he can do good, and yesterday, after the morning services in Dr. Burlingbam's church were concluded, he visited Madame Stillmau's in company with several city clergymen and some well known ladies. Tlie Madame was not aware that the girls had sent the invitation, and when the visitors rung the bell she was taken considerably by surprise, but when told what had been done, she politely invited them in and called all

girls iuto the par

her

lor. The latter were dressed in their best style aud behaved themselves in such a decorous manner that many of the visitors were astouiahed, and tlie ladies especially found the situation hard to comprehend. The nature of the occupation of the girls suggested to them everything repulsive, and tlie surprise, in oue sense, was an agreeable one. After prayer had been ottered, and several speeches made to the girls, urging them to reform, Madame SUllman turned

Spiritualistic Slips.

From the Chicago Tribune.

Accidents will happen, even among the best regulated Spiritual mediums. A writer in a recent number of the Fortnightly Review narrates an anecdote which occured in an iuterview with Dr. Siade, the celebrated medium. Having written on a slip of papei tbe name of Di Vernon, that fictitious personage not only answered his summons through Dr. Slade, but communicated to him the gratifying intelligence tbat she was doing well iu the spirit world. Dr. Foster, another celebrated dealer in ghostly postal cards, has fallen a victim to a cruel hoax. At a select, circle in San Francisco, one of the skeptics handed him a slip of paper upon which a careless stevedore had written hiaown name, with the additional information that he had "been two years in the spirit world." On receipt of this, Dr. Foster accommodatingly wrote a spirit reply to the stevedore: "lam with you. I bave been in the spirit world two years.—J. M. Witbee. As Mr. Witbee does not remember having passed any such time among the shades, it is to be supposed that a mean advantage was taken of the medium's simple aud confiding disposition.

Whistling Girls, Ac/ From au Exchange.

Yon should see Madame Nilsson in the domestic circle. She has most wonderful faculties of ingratiating herself with children. She will get down on the floor among them, enter into all their fun, and infantile architecture, and then precipitate them into ecstacies by whistling for them, and sbe whistles like a fiute or a nightingale, or playing the violin. It is really wonderful to hear her whistle no one could do it l»*t ter. There is nothing she is fonder ofthaua good romp with a lot of lively children she makes them all infatuated with her in less than a minute, and she kicks up more noise than an eight horse power scixioi girl.

She said if the same treatment was extended to men of lax morals that women re,h« accomplished but as long as the seducer and the libertine are received into good society, and if they happened to possess money or influence, courted and flattered, there is no hope for woman. When a woman goes astray she is denounced by society, while the author of her ruin is made its pet, aud all effort at reformation on her part is rendered useless, by the fact that the world will uot countenance or trust her reformation, but forever taunt ber with ner disgrace.

From the Chicago Tribune.

The Sovereigns of Indnstry. We have received the constitution of the Order of tbe Sovereigns of Industry, the by-laws of its Natioual Couucil, and a circular issued by it, and addressed to "the industrial classes tbe mechanics and workingmen and women everywhere."

The organization of the order re« sembles that of the Patrons of Hus baudry. Members of the Subordinate Councils' take tbe degree of Journeyman members of the Natioual Council take the degree of Artisan and members of the Supreme Council, which will not lie instituted till January, 1875, will be craftsmen. The Supreme Couucil is to be the court of last resort. The executive power is lodged with an Executive Couucil of seven men. Its present members all come from Massachusetts, but this is not strange, Mnee th.*re are as yet but three subordinate councils—in Worcester, Springfield, and New York City. Tbe objects of the order are roughly stated as the elf vat Ton «f tlie iudustrial classes. Ic is open to "any person engaged in industrial pursuits, of the age of IG vi-»i, of good character." It is a significant rule that says "No political or religion* tests of membership shall be allowed." The political pur|H.«es of tlie order are avowed. It deel-irea itself to be iu league with tt.e Patrons of Husbandry. Tbe circular *ay» "The Granges have *aved millions or dollars to the farmers. Bu, since the Grauue admits only those who are interested in agricultural pursuits, It has been found necessary to institute a new order that shall welcome to its membership all classes of laboring men aud women. And this order will save to Us members also millions oF dollars. It is, and will continue to he, in thorough sympathy and hearty co-operation with the Patrons of Husbandry, both being parts of one great whole,-whose destiny is to work out a better future for the industrial classes of this country. The times are ripe for tbe movement. You have but to com* bine workingmen and women aud a great aud immediate tieueht is yonrx." Whether or not this movement can unite the workingmen as thoroughly as the Grange has united the farmers, remains to be seen but the present powerful combination known as the "Patrons of Husbandry" started from smaller beginnings tbat the "Sovereigns of Industry."
