PATRONS AND sovEREIGNs.

A correspondent at Lincoln asks il farm
ers are admitted to the council, and says
1.-The farmers of Lincoln are talking Of or
ganizing a grange, but as great proportion
of the laboring classes in town are men Of
other callings, numbering forming notable
branch Of industry here, it has been proposed
to bring the whole together in a council Of
Sovereigns, If that can be done"
Yes the council is intended to embrace
all classes of laboring men. The only class
es excluded by the constitution are lawyers,
professional politicians, and "persons whose
interests are in conflict with the aims of the
order!" Where both cannot be had, and
there are a considerable number of persons
not actually farmers who would become mem
bers We would advise the formation Of q
council, by all means. They are two sister
societies, working for the same end-the
elevation of the laboring classes ex-
changing with each other all the benefits and
advantages which either may secure, The

constitution Of the Patrons prohibits any
who are not directly interested in agricul-
ture from membership. This worked we'll in
the West, where nearly all the people are
farmers but as the order extended to aud
among our eastern manufacturing towns and
villages il was found that there were many
laboring men who desired the opportunity
to improve and benefit themselves as the
farmers were doing in the grange, but who
could not be admitted under the constitution.
The question Of an amendment to the con.
sttution was talked up, but it was decided
that new order should be formed, and per-
haps in few years the two merged into
one; the order Of Sovereigus of Industry was
the result.
The two orders differ in several respects,
but their primary object is the same-the
common good Of those classes who toll for
their bread. The grange pays more atten.
ton to social advancement and culture than
does the council, because farmers have more
need Of improvement in this direction than
villagers. The mechanics in village gene
rally belong to churches, lodges of Masons,
Odd fellows, Good Templars, &C., and have
the means of social communion with each
other at the meetings of these orders, the
church "socials," &C., and hence there is
little need of such a feature in the council
So the council is mainly devoted to business
transactions, aud is mainly business body
The farmers are isolated, and do not have
the facilities for attending the social meet
ings in the village, and hence it is we'll that
the grange should furnish what the villager
gets in his various other meetings. For
these reasons, it is we'll that there are two
organizations, one for the farmers and one
for other workers. Another reason is that
while the villager wishes to hold his meetings
in the evening, after his days work is done,
the farmer in most cases wants to attend the
grange meeting in the afternoon, aud so get
home to do his evening chores.
In deciding which society is wanted in
particular locality these things should be
taken into consideration, and the society
chosen that will best meet the wants of ALL
We should judge that council of Sover-
eigus would be the best for our Lincoln
friends, unless they can have both, which
would be preferable if possible, as the time
and character of the meetings would be diff
ferent, thus meeting the wants of different
classes, while all the advantages of either or
der in the way of facilities for trade would
be mutually interchauged. So far as we
know, the Sovereigns have madsI considera-
bic share of their purchases through the
state agent of the Patrons, aud probably
will continue to do so.
Copies of the National Council can be
had on application to j. Butter6eld, the Sec
rotary, at 326 Main street, Worcester,
Mass. We printed some half sheets con.
tanning it, but those, as we'll as the edition
of the FARMER containing the bylaws of st.
Johnsbury Council, have been exhausted by
the demand from those who feel an interest
in the new move--a class who are by no
means small, we find.
