coming Grange member 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 the right Of
every member to do all in his power
legitimately to influence for good the
action of any political party to which
he belongs.
1t is his duty to do all he can in his
own party to put down bribery, cor
ruption and trickery; to see that none
but competent, faithful and honest
men, who will unfinchingly stand by
our interests, are nominated for all
positions of trust, and to have carried
out the principles which should always
characterize. every Glenge member,
that the office should seek the man,
and not the man the office.
We acknowledge the broad princi-
pie, that difference of opinion is no
crime, and hold that, Progress TO-
ward truth is made by difference of
opinion" while "the fault lies in bit
terness of controversy"
We desire a proper equality, equity
and fairness; protection for the weak,
restraint upon the strong; in short
justly distributed burdens, and Justly
distributed power. These are Ameri-
can ideas, the very essence of Ameri-
can independence, and to advocate the
cOntrary,is unworthy.of the sons and
daughters of an American republic.
We cherish the belief that sectional
ism is, and of right should, be, dead
and buried with the past. Our work
is for the present and future. In our
agricultural brotherhood and its pur-
poses, we shall recognize no North, no
South, no East, no West.
1t is reserved by every Patron, as
the right by every freeman, to affili-
ate with any party that will best car
ry out his principles.
OUTSIDE COOPERATION.
6. Ours being peculiarly farmers
institution, we cannot admit all to our
ranks.
Many are excluded by the nature
of our organization, not because they
are professional men, or artisans or
laborers, but because they have not q
sufficient direct interest in tiiling or
pasturing the soil, or may have some
interest in conflict with our purpose.
But we appeal to all good citizens
for their cordial cooperation to assist
in our efforts toward reform, that We
may eventually remove from our
midst the last vestige of tyranny and
corruption.
We hail the general desire for fra
ternal harmony, equitable comprom-
Use, and earnest cooperation, as an
omen of our future success.
CONCLUSION.
7. 1t shall be an abiding principle
with US to relieve any of our Cypress
ed and suffering brotherhood by any
means at our command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim it
among our purposes to inculcate a
proper appreciation ofthe abilities and
sphere of woman, as is indicated by
her to membership and posi-
ton in our Order.
Imploring the continued assistance
Of our Divine Master to guide us in
our work, We here pledge ourselves to
faithful and harmonious labor for all
future time, to return by our united
Efforts to the wisdom, justice, fraterni-
ty and political purity of our forefath-
ers.

POLITICAL RELATIONS.

5. We emphatically and sincerely
assert the oft-repeated truth taught 10
our organic law, that the Grange,
National, State or subordinate, is not
L political or party organization. No
Grange, if true to its obligations, can
discuss political or religious questions,
nor call political conventions nor nomi-
nate candidates, nor ever discuss ;her
merits in its meetings.
Yet the principles we teach under
lie all true politics, all true statesman
ship, and, if properly carried out, Will
tend to purify the whole political at
mosphere of our country.
