however mental, and while it is full of
charity, it seeks to improve or punish
the idle and improvident. Hoping to
accomplish the greatest amount of.good
for the greatest number, it respects
honest frugaiity and prosperity, and
scorns anything like communism or
mobocracy. tknoWs no party in poll
itics, but teaches us to love the whole
country as patriots; and if we were
governed by its lessons we would officer
this government with patriots who
would enact laws of equity and justice.
She has no slunbering political in
trigues, no sympathy with midnight
,assassins or oaths of leagues, but would
fain hope by enlightening the mind
and creating higher, holier sentiment
Of What it is to be citizen Of country,
forever bury in oblivion of forgetfulness
the bitter remembrance of the past,
and rekindle the flame of patriotic de-
votion in this land of Washington.
1t recognizes the necessity for capital
as we'll as labor, and seeks to demon
strate that there is no war between
them by acting rs check upon oppres-
sion, be it by the one or the other
while opposed to unjust monopolies, it
would place watch and n check lest it
established one of its own. Recognize
ing Deity and His authority and mans
accountability, it requires no test either
religious or political for membership.
open for the admission of ladies, by
their refining, hopeful influence it
would seek to cheer the Responding
and pour oil of comfort into the hearts
of the suffering, as we'll as polish and
refine the rough asher by her social
influence, which alone forms barrier
SO far as know to freedmen becoming
members. Social Et.uality-this to me
is sufficient; they do not seek this as a
class, and fools are we if we desire it;
no harm but great good is promised to
them through it, if they will labor and
live, but it promises no good to idle
spongers and sharks, only seeking to
supplant them by those more worthy,
and therefore she goes hand in hand
with emigrant societies of the working
dependents and suffering ones Of our
own country. While not opposed di-
rectly to foreign immigration, it seeks
more to make available what we have.
1t seeks to decrease the idle consumers
and of them to create producers to
economize labor by doing more of our
own work and living on what we pro-
duce; to lessen freight by raising. it ut
home-in word, to reform tho whole
country. Co.,
Now, In answer to many inquiries
coming up all over tho whole country,
I would state that this order is Nation
al, State and Subordinate nine men
actual farmers and four women is the
least number that can constitute a Sub
ordinate Grange; twenty men actual
farmers and ten women tho largest
number with which q Subordinate
Grange can be organized, which is
always if of the right kind of men pro-
ferable. Each man shall be eighteen
years old, farmer, and shall pay three
dollars fec, and each woman shall DO
sixteen and pay a fec of fifty cents to
the deputy, who shall be authorized to
organize and instruct them. Fifteen
dollars of this amount shall be forwar-
ded to the National Grange through
tho Secretary of the State Grange for
q charter, and with the names of said
members who shall be charter mcm-
bers. Tho deputy shall receive COM
pensation out of the remainder for his |
services, trouble and expense, provided
it does not take more than one-half of
the remainder. The National Grange |
| is located at Washington City, y. G. |
Col. o. III. Kelley is tho Secretary. Mol
Grange can be organized without dcp- |
uty as the secretary's work is not |
written.
Believing that this order promises |
great good, and knowing that some
thing must be done, have felt so much !
interest as to accept tho lcputyship, |
| and will, to the best of my ability, |
comply with all tho calls made upon |
mo to organize Gran cs.
