THE PATRONS OF AGRICULTURE.

THE PATRONS or AGRICULTURE
We repeat the notice, that on Tuesday
.vening next. Dec. 18th, Grange Depu-
les, II. Mcdowell of Canton, and w.
OF Ravenna will offieiate at
The organization Of Grange of Patrons
at Perry, Lake County; and the next
evening, 18th, they win meet such far
mere OF PainesFilie township as wish to
be informed on the subject OF the Order,
aud will organize IL Grange If desired.
The meeting will be held in Wilcox
at = o'clock; general invitation |
ia given to farmers and their wives and |
daughters to attend.
NOT A POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
We find that many people, here as |
elsewhere persist In tie belief that the |
oreanization Of Oranges throughout the
country, is political movement, not
withsLanding the oft repeated denial of
the officers and publications OF the Or
der. on this point We copy the follow
ing from the Indiana FARMER the princi-
pal organ of the Patrons In that State:
HIGHER GROUND, &C.
H. is a prevalent opinion that the or
ganization of the Patrons of Husbandry
"a intended to subserve political pnrpo-
ses, notwithstanding the repeated denial
of its leading men. But denial alone Is
not sufficient to convince those out or
the Order that il Is not intended to play
/, n considerable part in the future politics
of the country; indeed, in some locali-
ties we are persuaded that many go into
the organization to assist in pressing 1t
forward for political purposes. And oc-
caslonally may be found person-whO
has had some aspirations in a political
wav-believing this to be his golden op-
port,inity, ne rushes to the front Of this
movement, ready to do or die for the
cause of the farmer, and at the same
time has In view his own fortune in pol
itics as much as the most Willy politician
Of the land. It would be great pOliti-
cal misfortune for such class ofmen to
succeed to power under the cover of de-
yotion, to. the producers interest, A
more time-serving class of men than
o. those described will be searched for in
vain. To the members of the Order we
would say-watch every man who, in
the organization. persists in having his
claims considered for position in Office.
We prefer the 'sfat kline" who have gone
before to the salean kline" that come after.
The higher ground for the Order Is to
strive. for the mutual improvement of
its members, By the exchange of views
in the line of agricultural pursuits, by
