REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE STATE
M OF THE ORDER.
Your committee on State of the
Order beg leave to report:
That, Notwithstanding our Order
having been but recently organized in
Oregon and Washington Territory,
we have accomplished much towards
the furtherance Of our objects and prin.
ciples, and from the earnestness with
which our people are entering into the
movement, we feel confident that we
can and will succeed in carrying out
our purposes.
ResoIved, That in addition to the
various purposes of the Patrons Of
Husbandry, as set forth in the Consti-
tuition and Bylaws, looking to our
social, intellectual and material ad-
vancement, we, as the State Grange
of Oregon and Washington Territory,
believe it our duty to mature and put
in practice, through our subordinate
and State Grange, at the earliest pos
sible date, the most feasible plan for
accomplishing the following objects.
First-The establishment Of CO.
operative system of trade, by which
producers and consumers shall deal as
directly with each other as possible
Second-The purchase ofiarming
implements, machinery and sacks at
the manufacturers lowest rates, making
no invidious distinction in the mode
of purchasing headers, moving ma
chimes and farming implements.
Third-The disposal of our grain
and other farm productions at the
highest market value, or direct ship.
ments on the most favorable terms, OF
the storage of our grain at low rates
drawing upon it advances TO the lar
gest amount practicable, at the lowest
rates of interest, receiving sack fol
sack in its delivery.
Fourth--The establishment oi
Grange stores.
Fifth-The gradual substitution oi
cash for credit system.
Sixth-The eventual introduction ol
shipment in bulk.
Re8oLUed, That we believe it oul
duty to endeavor to secure by all le
gitlmate means such Legislation as will
best protect US against all ills OF which
we may justly complain, to labor fol
reduction and regulation of railroad
freights and fares, and the reduction
and regulation of ocean freights BY
reducing port charges, by abolishinl
the present system of re-oharterinl
ships, by giving timely information tt
ship owners throughout the world o
the amount of freight we can furnish
them, with a view 10 ohartering suffi
cient tonnage for our own purposes
and by offering other inducements t.
draw to our coast such shipping. q
will amply meet the requirements o
each season, including among thes,
inducements the importation to ou
State of the best classes of Europeal
laborers.
ResoIUed, That the interest Of far
mers, mechanics and our laborinl
classes are too closely allied to admi
of any arrangement, and we deem i
our duty to patronize home mechanic
in preference to foreign, and woul,
here say that ours is not an organiza
tion for the purpose Of reducing o
degrading mechanical or field labor
but we consider it our best interest T.
bestow liberal patronage and fair re
muneratiVe wages on the mechanica
and laboring skill Of the country
Although we propose to dispense wit
! the services Of the middlemen, an
, buy directly from the manufacturer
, while we ship direct to the consumer
! we fail to see in what way the nae
|, ehanic or laboring man is to be injul
ed. Our experience proves there is
/ material difference between the manr
, facturers' prices and that of the reta
; dealer; also between the producer
, prices and that Of the Europern col
/, sumer. These differences being ]
our favor, when we deal directly wit
the manufacturer and consumer, W
have money left to pay for other mani
Q featured articles, and extend our var
+ Gus enterprises, thus increasing, il
: stead of diminishing, the demand f
8 mechanical and other skilled labor.
