PROSPECTUS
THE GRANGE OUTLOOK.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY
AT
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE.

On or before the 25th day of March, 1874, the
undersigned will issue journal in the city of
Knoxville, Tenne ssee, called
THE GRANGE OUTLOOK.
1t will be devoted to the prosecution Of the
great work known now throughout the United
States as the Farmers Movement" or 1.-THE
Patrons of Husbandry.'' Its distinctive aim
will be the intellectual, moral social, and finan-
cial elevation of the agricultural and working
classes of the country, to guard and protect
them against fraud, to assist them in their
work. and to stand by them in all their struggles.
No ANTAGONIST to classes. No war will
be waged against other classes so long as they
make no war upon the industrial classes. The
law of mutual dependence is fully recognized
and acknowledged, in all its force and potency,
and, therefore, it would be unjust to attack any
class whose aim is in a legitimate way, to pro-
tect itself and to secure those immunities essen
tial to its own existence. The farmers and
working classes, however. must
ORGANIZE FOR THEIR OWN PRorEC-
TION.
And in doing so, they are simply obeying the
promptings OF an instinct and an impulse.
which, to-day, is swaying and controlling all
classes IN the United States. Mutual protec-
ton is what they demand, and Is what they
will have at all reasonable hazards. THE
GRANGE OUTLOOK will encourage and
stimulate the growth of this sentiment, beliey
ing it to be essential to the happiness and pros
perity of the classes in question
EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL AND MORAL
ADVANCEMENT.
Regarding these great principles as the fonn
dation-in fact, the chief cornerstone of indi-
vid al and national success-no effort will be
spared to give them due prominence.
NON POLITICAL.
Partisan politics can find TO place in its
columns. The great movement which it has the
honor of representing does not, happily, admit
the discussion of politics This wise and
Thoughtful provision will be adhered to tena-
ciously.
UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD.
THE GRANGE OUTLOOK will extend
the olive branch to struggling humanity in all
parts of our land. 1t will be governed by no
sectional lines One flag floats over our com
mon country, and under its ample folds it will
battle for the continued welfare of every Sec
ton, thus binding together indissolnbly, the
East, the North the South. and the West.
COMMERCIAL. AND NEWS DEPARTMENT.

various markets of the principal cities of the
United States. All the current news Of the times
will be condensed and furnished to the reader
INTER RECOMMENDATION.

oranges can communicate with each other, Gull
tivate each others acquaintance, interchange
views, publish their doings and thus strengthen

states, able correspondents will grace its col
umn< with their well-matured productions In
