hence they have no influence and no nov.

they choose, effect such an .arran semen,
with manufacturers. They form aaricul.
turists into a society or association, and
thus acvclop the strenrtl, and power which
exists IN that portion Of the community
which is truly the chief corner stone Of So
ciety. and ought'to be ut the head Of the

Suppose our Grange should increase
until two-thirds or the cotton growers oi
this country are members. We will then
annually have abou. ten thousand bales Of
cotton to be disposed of by members oi
this 6 range, including almost every quail
i,y OF cotton desired at factory. from the
lowest ordinary to the best middling, and
could have fair cottonif desired. Having
this number of bales oedifcrcnt qualities
of lint. we could easily make arrangements
with some manufacturing company to re-

In this. again. We discern ''thc benefit
Of our Order. 1t combines the power o.
individuals into associations; Of small as.
sociations into immense combinations; with
very great power for reorganizing and re
establishing the agricultural interests o
the whole country. especially OF the South
"Combina'ions may achieve victories tha
individuals cannot win" They have
