ton is indispensable to its future sue
cess, and the accomplishment Of that
good to the farmer and the organiza-
ton i'll the Territory that is confidently
expected by its friends.
The Patrons Of Husbandry in Cali
fornia are accomplishing much toward
the improvement Of the condition Of
the farmer. Their latest move is the
organization of a bank, which the San
Francisco Chronicle alludes to in the
following manner:
The potent Patrons of Husbandry,
steadily disclaiming lust for power,
are taking concerted action to secure
their rights to advance their individ-
ual interests in the way which to them
seemeth best. Their number having
doubled in the last twelve months, and
still increasing, they arc moving in
solid columns upon the citadel Of the
Grain Kings, to whom they are more
terrible than an army with banners.
The California column is about the
most vital and active of all which are
embraced IN this vast host. 1t is led
by men who combine muscular, men,
tai, and financial attributes in vigorous
development. Of the practical schemes
which are being prosecuted for the
benefit Of the Changers in this State,
the most noteworthy is the Changers
Bank. The Bank will have a capital
of 5000, 900, divided in $1,000 shares
of 800 each. Its base of operations
will be i'll this city. The object of the
bank is to enable farmers to borrow
money upon as favorable terms as can
be had in the city for commercial pur-
poses. The subscriptions are nearly
all in small amounts, the subscribers
being residents Of nearly every county
in the State. The by laws promise the
same consideration and attention to
the rights of small stockholders as to
those Of the largest, and "equal justice
to all" There are already over 1000
subscribers, and the aggregate Of the
subscriptions exceeds 81 100000.
The mission of the Patrons Of Hus-
b.sndry, which was confined, prob
ably, in its inception to q limited
sphere, has developed new sources for
the exercise of it's benefcent power.
The Sacramento Record gives as the
corner stone of the organization the
laudable principle,
