WHAT IS A GRANGER

The Industrial Age, of Chicago, says
this is question often asked, and as 1t
is frequently answered by tlippant uni
tiers, who know but little, and care less,
what may be the effects of their answers
we, who know and desire it to be known
for what it really is, publish the follow
inc truths -
1t is an organization of Farmers.
1t has for its object, Improvement.
1t is designed to elevate and enlight-
en- the Farmers.
1t would qualify him for his God
given profession.
1t aims to bring about these objects
by associations
It unites those of the same calling in
to one grand brother and sisterhood for
the protection OF all.
1t establishes i'll every neighborhood
a lecture room, (Which is the Grange
itself in which important truths are
untolded.
1t disseminates valuable information
that all may be benefited.
1t collects as well as disseminates.
1t is an intellectual institution.
1t calls for an exercise Of the mind
1t brings mind in contact with mind,
and by this contact others are illumina-
ted ard improved, as by friction.
1t draws out latent talent
1t makes active and tangible what
has been before dormant and unseen.
1t shows the Importance of cultivat-
ing brains as well as soil
1t demonstrates the fact that as rich
baryests are developed by brain culture
as by soil culture.
The Grange is social institution.
Father, mother, sister, brother, neigh
Dor and friend united by strong ties, in
one common good. 1t makes each feel
an interest in all and all in each; a trans
fer of kind, home government of fam
lily to that OF neighborhood, uniting
those who have been heretofore stran-
gers,
1t heals up the wounds of the unfor
tunate.
1t administers comfort to the sick,
and relief to the distressed. 1t is hus-
band to the widow and father to the
fatherless.
1t makes every neighborhood as a
kind atlcctionate family.
1t is financial institution.
1t seeks to obtain for its members the
highest price for their producte.
1t looks to the good of all. 1t learns
how, when and where the best prices
can be obtained.
1t entirely dispenses with the middle
man who has absorbed the chief profits
from his toll.
And | would add the following
1t aims to reform abuses of every
character where they Cypress, demand
ing from labor unjust and illegitimate
claims. 1t would reform every species
of yillany now so prevalent in our legis-
lative bodies, and by its organization no
demagogue can ride over the people
with wide mouth defamation of prlncl-
pies which his character, as man, does
not sustain, as he will certainly be
weighed, and found wanting.
1t claims the right to discuss allques
ton affecting the interest Of the people,
and disclaiming all control, religious or
political, over any member Of its body.
1t will act uniformly in the interest
of the people against monopoly and OPP

Under an act of Congress, passed in
1869, the property of the United States
at IIarpcr's Ferry was sold in that year
for about three hundred and twenty
thousand dollars Last session a bill
was got through the Senate and nearly
passed the House to rescind the sale
and relieve the purchasers-who, as yet,
have paid nothing-who did not make
quite as much money by their bargain
as they had anticipated. They have
gone on and realized all that they could,
however, out Of what they found on the
premises, and will doubtless be again
appealing to Congress to let them out.
What reason there is for this does not
appear, except, perhaps, that the pur-
chaSe1S did not succeed in making quite
as much out of the b. & o. II. II. on a
