does not propose to break down the
Legitimate business OF any man or
set OF men. On the contrary, every
Intelligent member Of the Order is
aware that the middle man" must

some where, and why not
have our own local merchants
in that capacity, just as we'll
as the man in Memphis or New
Orleans ? In the language Of tall
en;ed member OF the Order, we af-
firm that ''our organization simply
directs its assaults upon vitiated sys-
TENS that, vampire like, fan its VIC
tim whilst it draws the red current
that gives it life." And if our Order
develops a system out of which
will spring a iudicious economy that
will make our planters solvent and
invest their business with a merit un
known to it for years, every other
interest, and especially the mel cam
tile, will feel its revivifying effects.
We do not wish to be understood |
from what has just been said, as
being opposed to the system OF
Grange Agencies as established at all
the principal points of commerce, by
the different State Oranges. On the
contrary, we believe it to be the i'm
perative duty of every member ot the
Order to sustain them with their
trade, for through them
Of dollars have been saved
to the planters throughout the coun-
try.
Our Order was not established to
make war upon any pursuit or pro-
fession, but for the purpose of plac-
ing the Agricultural interests in
their proper position, as the lounda-
ton of oil other interests and not
thereto and also TO. the
of restoring our country to
its former political purity and pros
perity. We have declared war
against none but the politically cor
rupt, the monopolist, and various
rings and corrupt combinations or
yanized by capitalists FOR the sole pur-
pose Of controlling all the industrial
as well as the Legislative
md Judicial bodies Of the c untry.
These we recognize as our enemies,
and we have a grand army Of over
,ne million, beside the hearty coop
sration of oil good men outside the
Order, TO crush them out, and no
nan will dare say We cannot or win
not do it. The Order is in its youth
yet, but its influence for good is even
now felt throughout the land, and it
will continue to grow in power in-
lu ence and usefulness, until the last
gestige Of political corruption has
been swept out OF both State and
National governments, and the mo-
nopolis,s, the Salary grabber, Credit
Mobilier. Spectator and extortioner
are sunk into an ocean Of Oblivion.
