1t should be read by all. 1t gives no I'M
certain sound. 1t seeks to advance true Re-
publicanism and sustains the administration
of U. S. Grant.
1t is the only paper in Tennessee that adj
vOcates::th the complete and impartial extension
of Civil Rights to the cOlored citizens by the
enactment of national law, and their inn
partial education and development; and will
endeavor to promote and improve the inter-
ests of the industrial classes of the colored
men Of the South by forming Cooperative
Associations, to effectively organize and car
ry out schemes of interest and profit to each
other Individually and collectively.
II will sustain the living issues of humanity
and an improved and higher civilization in
refinement, in opposition to the expressions
of caste, spite and malignant hate of race,
which seeks to degrade and ignore the pros
poets, privileges, and rights of the colored
citizens of the United States; and demand
in unmistakable terms the rights of the
colored citizens which they are entitled to in
the offices, honors and emoluments of the U.
S. government, without prescription by their
fellow white Republicans, or their utter neg.
lect as has been in the past.

THE GRANGE STATE AGENT.

State Agent Frew of the Patrons of IIus
bandry of Illinois, has issued the following
circular to the manufacturers Of farm nipple
mcnts, &c:
GENTLEMEN: The organization Of farmers
known as Patrons of llusbandry or oranges,
and the objects aimed at by the order have
been made so public by the press that | do
not consider it necessary 10 more than say
here, that so far as these objects relate 10 the
| purchase of implements and farm supplies, it
| is desired to bring the producer and consumer
closer together, to trade for cash, and, by SO
doing, save the expense caused by transac,ng
this business through the hands of so mguy
middlemen This will enable the manulac-
turer to offer his wares at fair prices. rs he
has no risk TO run Of contracting bad debts or
taking slow promises to pay Instead Of
going ont to establish agencies and collecting
money, it is all done for him; and as soon rs
The wares are delivered, the cash is paid BY
this method the manufacturer will be able to
sell at such rates that many who are not able
to purchase at the usual high prices, will be
able to supply themselves, SO that nj least
doubt not that the increase of sales will com
pcnSate for any loss sustained by dropping
the agents established over the country to
urge sales by their persistent arguments
The order in Illinois was not been sufficiently
organized until within the last few months to
begin their systematic dealing. The state
purchasing agent was appointed IN January,
and the first circular containing the names Of
firms offering their wares at their Lowest cash
prices, has been distributed making for the
manufacturer, certainly, one of the best
advertisements they could issue. Other
confidential circulars will be made up in
few weeks and those manufacturers of nipple.
