POLITICAL STATUS OF THE New ORDER.-,
As no real or lasting benefit can accrue to
the working men fthe United States with
out political action, the Patrons of Industry
will aim to correct at the Ballot Box the
evils of special and class legislation under
which we are common sufferers and victims.
The votes of the Patrons Of Industry will
be cast for honest men. and we can find
them in our own Order. We shall not
need to go outside of it for honesty and
ability to htly represent us in our State
legislatures or in the National Congress.
Men Of all shades Of political and religious
opinions can meet on one common ground
and act in political concert, for we will ig-
more party organizations if such do not
give US justice, and form our own party,
whose basis shall, be justice to those who
labor for their bread.-Indiana Granger.
The following is the preamble to the
Constitution of the new Order called the
Patrons of Industry: .,.. ~
By industry we thrive. In union we
have success. In secrecy we have power
In confidence we have peace. In right we
have might. In these signs we shall con-
quer. The prosperity Of a nation is in the
happiness Of its people.
The people find happiness in peace and
plenty, and peace and plenty result from
diligence and labor.
Freedom and justice, regardless of per-
sons, is the right of every human creature
Earnest work, honest dealing and equita-
BILE pay, is the just portion of every person
In bonds Of mutual interest and friend
ship, we join hands in working together
for the general good of our Order.
The California Farmer says: Farmers
Oranges are also becoming quite popular,
and soon as they work into the practical
machinery Of reforms, they will become q
blessing to our State. The following are
the main features Of the Grangers' plat
form as laid down in the West:
|. The protection Of honest industry in
all, its branches against the encroachments
of aggregate capital.
| 2. Equal and exact justice to all classes
and special privileges to none. r.-. ... 49,
