Freedom fromexposure to damp soil, dripping skiesand sudden changes from the warmthgreat deal of news which we cannotgive, and long documents of permanent value,— too lengthy for our columns, and not called for by our* moregeneral object.of Juno to the coldest blasts of January, render our climate notbearable, but often delightfulonlyAllthat we need is trees, groves and forests. And these, in moderation, weshalll have in time.In this connection, as a matter of local interest, at least, we insert the following taken fro “List of Premiuthe report of thes Awarded by theStearns County Agricultural Society,at the 17th Annual Fair, held at St.Cloud, Oct. 11 and 12,1877;Goo.

Asan employer of laborers, the boss would not give higher wages to the workingman if mon-y was loaned free of interest. The law of supply and demand would regulate wages then as now, the result of which would be that the employer would alone be advantaged by the Greenback theory.

Bent, profit on goods bought and sold and interest on money are convertible terms, and all are gained from wealth created by laborers, and all these modes of getting wealth will continue to exist as long as wages slavery continues. If the workingman is compelledwto beg for work then the employer will agreeto give employment only on one condition, that he gets more dollars worth of wealth from the laborer,than the laborer receives numbers of dollars for liis work.2.
