NATIONAL GRANGE
OF THE
PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION,
DecIaratiOn Of Purposes Of NatiOuaI Grangl

PREAMBLE.-Profoundly impressed with
the truth, that the National Grange Of the
United States should definitely proclaim
to the world its general objects, we here
by, unanimously, make this Declaration OF
Purposes Of the Patrons of Husbandry
GENERAL 0BJEcTs.--United by the
strong and faithful tie of Agriculture, we
mutually resolve to labor for the good Of
our order, our country and mankind.
We heartily indorse the motto: Sin es-
sentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty /;
in all things charity"
SPECIFIC 0BJEcTs.-We shall endeavor
to advance our cause BY laboring to accom-
plish the following objects:
To develop better and higher manhood
and womanhood among ourselves. To en-
hancc the comforts and attractions Of our
homes and strengthen our attachments to
our pursuits. To foster mutual under
standing and co operation. To maintain our
inyiolate laws, and to emulate each other
in, labor to hasten the good time coming.
To reduce our expenses, both individual
and corporate. To buy less and produce
more, IN order TO make our farms self-sus-
tanning. To diversity our crops, and crop
no more than we can cultivate. 10 con-
dense the weight OF our exports, selling
less In the bushei and more on hoot and
in fleece. To systematic our work and
calculate intelligently on probabilities. To
discountenance the credit system, the
mortgage system, the fashion system, and
every other system tending to productivity
and bankruptcy.
we propose meeting together, talking
together, working together, buying togeth-
er, selling together, and IN general acting
together for our mutual protection and
advancement, as occasion may require.
We shall avoid litigation as much rs pos
slble BY arbitration In the grange. We
shall constantly strive to secure entire
harmony, good will, vital brotherhood
among OURSELVES, and to make our order
perpetual We shall earnestly endeayor
to suppress personal, local, sectional and
national preJudlces, all unhealthy rivalry,
all selfish ambition. Faithful adherence
70 these principles VIII insure our mental,
moral, social and material advancement
BUSINESS kELATIoss.--for our BUSH
ness interests, we desire TO bring producers
and consumers, farmers aud manufacturers
into the most direct and friendly relations
possible. Hence we must dispense with
surplus Of mlddlemen, not that we are un-
a. k..f l.. III.

Orders are solicited, and will be filed ms
fast as they can be manufactured in the order
of time in which the orders are received.
An agent will deliver the Machine as soon
as possible, and, on thorough trial by the
purchaser in his own way, and in all ways for
the purposes it is intended, and ifnot satisfac.
tory in all things, no sale.
By this system we hope to place it in the
hands Of every intelligent farmer as rapidly
as they can be constructed, and hasten the
revolution that it is destined to work in the
Application of Manures.
We hope, by the policy of no sale, unless
satisfactory after full trial, at least to engage
the attention of calculating and sensible
farmers Address

THR GRAsaR NOR PAsTrsAE. |
emphatically and sincerely assert the Oft /
repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the grange. NATIONAL State, or subor-
dinate. is not political or party organizai
ton. No grange. if true 10 its obligations,
can discuss political or religious questions,
nor call political conventions, nor nominate
candidates. nor even discuss their merits
ia its meetings.
Yet tho principles we teach underlie all
true politics, all true craftsmanship, and, if
properly carried out, will tend to purify
| the whole political atmosphere Of our coun
try. For we seek the greatest good to the
greatest number.
We must always bear in mind that no
one BY becoming a Patron of Husbandry
gives up that inalienable right and duty
which belongs to every American citizen,
to take proper interest in the politics Of
his country.
On the contrary, it is right for every
member to do all in his power legitimately
to influence for good the action Of any po-
litical party to which he belongs. 1t is his
duty to do all he can in his own party to
put down bribery, corruption and triekery;
to see that none but competent, faithful
aud honest men, who will unAinchingly
stand by our industrial interests, are nom
mated for all positions of trust and to
have carried out the principle which should
always characterize every grange member
that The o6ice should seek The man and not
The man the office.
We acknowledge the broad principle
that difference of opinion is no crime, and
hold that progress towards truth is made
by differences Of opinion, while 'the fault
lies in bitterness of controversy"
We desire proper equality, equity aud
fairness; protection for the weak, restraint
upon the strong; in short, justly distribu-
ted burdens and Justly distributed power
These are American ideas, the very essence
of American Independence, and to adyo-
cate the contrary is unworthy of the sons
and daughters Of an American republic
We cherish the belief that sectionalism
is, and of right should be, dead and buried
with the past. Our word is for the pres
ent and the future. In our agricultural
brotherhood and its purposes we shall rec
ognize no North, no South, no East, no
West
1t is reserved by every patrol, as the
right of freeman, to affiliate with any
party that will best carry out his principles.
OUTSIDE Co.oPERATIoN.- being
peculiarly n farmers Institution. we cannot
admit all to our ranks.
; Many are excluded by the nature of our
organization, not because they are profess
sional men, or artisans or laborers, but
because they have not a sufficient direct
interest in tilling or pasturing the soil, or
