The farmers' vindicator., 1874-09-18
THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
TO THE
STATE GRANGE OF MISSISSIPPI,
BY L. o. BRIDEwELL.

BY L. o. BRIDEWELL.
1t would certainly, Worthy Master
and Worthy Patrons, be gratifying t.
the ambition of any one to stand before
the representatives of 10000 farmers
as the selected speaker, on an occasion
like this; but, when it is remembered
that these constitute only small frac
ton of the 800, 900 farmers of this
vast nation, organized on the same
basis and striving to accomplish the
same ends, as ourselves, to stand here
to discuss the great objects of this
organization, becomes a responsible
reality to one, who, although student
the greater part Of his life, has not
been much in the public eye.
The theme sir, is boundless-for in
it and about it are all themes.
AGRICULTURE,
in fact, is the germ from which has
grown up every good to man. I'm
pressed upon humanity when it fell
from that position little lower than
the angels, as the universal cause for
disobedience, it is in the divine econo-
my, the nursery of true nobility, God
fearing and God loving men and
women-iconoclasts of the false idols
Of religion, in morals and in politics,
always pointing out the sure and GER
tain road to the final healing of the
nations. From it came manufactures,
from both came commerce, and from
the three combined, comes the diffusion
of true religion, and the definite and
legitimate civilization of all mankind.
THESE THREE ARE EQUALS.
They are the trinities of the earth.
They should work advance, and prosper,
BY that grand element of selfreliance,
which is the essential to success in all
industries. They should be syntagon-
istic in the highest sense of that term
through all of these rami6cations.
Antagonisms do not exist here naturally
this is always the result of unjust
or unwise legislation. Normal antag-
onisms only exist between the princi-
Piles of evil and of good. These grand
elements of the industry of men, are
all good, and the
IEAT0rrav AMI wAp
that has grown up between capital
and labor, is the work if corrupt men,
who have produced the enmity by the
perversion of natural law, and by the
abuse of the delegated powers of gov
ernment in special legislation. Now,
while there are only great facts, stand
ing out as plain to the eye and mind
of the thinker, as the law of promise
in the heavens, how little do they seem
to impress the rulers and law makers
of this nation; aye, even the agricul-
turists and laboring men themselves
We are but in the broad road of the
nations.
TYRANNY AND DEsPoTIsM,
the will to oppress the many and ele-
vate the few, is the unfortunate legacy
to man by the spirit of evil, when be
and seduuced the mother of
The same end to which we
are certainly tending in this govern
ment this day, is only repetition of
the history Of all nations during all
time. In the middle ages in Europe,
the agriculturists were the very poor
and the very oppressed, labOring for
he very rich and protected, and while
i remained so, the people and the
nations were held under a merciless
crushing out their life and
ight, and the heavy hand was only !
