THE NEW SECREC SaCtETY.-TUI.
FARMERS GRANGE.

The new secret society among the
farmers OF the Northwest, held an an
nusl meeting in Iowa, few days ago.
A correspondent OF the New York World
says:
by report of the Executive Commit
tee it was shown that there are rs
grangers in the State, with a member
ship of 34,05S. In December, ISL
the last annual meeting-there were
ouly 80 oranges, with q membership Of
2,447.
The gross receipts tor the year were
$l0,73495; expenditures, - 800. Al
this meeting $S,i wss paid to de's-
gates for mileage. The Masters salary
was fixed at 500 q year; Treasurer :,
5000; members Of the Executive Com
mittee, $50.
As to their doiugs and purpos-s q
synopsis is given. Nearly third Of all
the grain warehouses aud elevators in
the State ar either owned or cOutrOll-
ed by these grangers no less that 5000
900 bushels OF grain were shipped out
OF the Sta,e by them in The eighteen
montbs past last December. The cat
tie and hogs thus shipped are aimost
innumerable. On all these the returns
show an increased income 10 tie farmer
of from 10 to 10 per cent. compared
with the sums formerly received from
local purchasers or other middle men
The Grange purchases Of the different
kinds o. implements chow a saving OF
at least 1866, 900.
During the pgesert year not less
than 100000 vii! be invested 10y the
farmers in the establishment Of mann
factories and elevators, thus creating q
home market by bringing in skilled
labor
In Northern Iowa especially, has the
Grange prospersd In that locality are
many stores selling goods at fixed rate
:, TO grangers and they are dong -four
isbmg business. Cash down is their
motto, and running in debt is severely
reprehended.
- These $1,000 persons, representing
the agricultural community OF lowa,are
handed together Tor mutual protection
and profit, and are determined to cary
ont their own plans whatever the cost.
They do not propose to take any actiCn
in politics as an order, bat will probably
vote Tor the men who will best represent
them. There are about sixty farmers
in this Legislature OF $50 members. and
there is scarcely doubt that the farm,
era of the Fifth District nominated ana
elected one OF their own number 10 con,
eress because he was farmer. WINE
The Grange was in session last week'
the members made no secret OF Gne'f DC
Lief that those members of the Leglsia. :
tnre who vote against the interests o.
,hs Farmers will be voted against by the
farmers at the next election.

The recent convention Of the farmers of
Illinois adopted resolutions condemning the
Congressional salary bill; declaring that
chartered monopoies not regulated by law
are detrimental to public prosperity; that
railways not under strict governmental regu.
lations have proved extortionate aud opposed
to free commerce between States, and that
this despotism, which impoverishes people and
corrupts the government, must be made sub
servient to public interests that now is the
most favorable time to settle the question
whether State that creates a corporation
cannot control it; that it is essential that
the contest between the people and an inter-
est which can combine four thousand million
dollars in the Union shall continue until
corporations acknowledge the supremacy of
law that it is the duty OF the Legislature
to pass laws fixing the rates of railroad
freight and passage; that the classification
laws should be repealed; that the Legisla.
ture should pass bill enforcing the principle
that railroads are public highways; that
railroads should be compelled to carry all
freight offered in the country through which
they pass that railway passes given to leg.
islators are corrupting; and that the duties
on materials for cars, steamboats, aud sailing
vessels should be repealed The convention
was very large and enthusiastic, aud was
addressed by the Governor, Lieutenant.Gov.
ernor and other dignitarics.

As there is more than one side to almost
every public question, we must have parties,
and we know of no better names for the two
great parties Of democratic republic than
the names they have assumed in America.

any reader Of the FARMER to desert the party
Of his choice But what we should rejoice
to see the farmers Of both parties DO, is to
work faithfully and hard to secure the nomi.
