Tho Plan for English and American
Coaliton-An Extension scheme.
The executive committee of the ma
tional grange have spent considerable
time in receiving and considering tho
proposition of the English co operators
Tor union for commercial purposes of
the two bodies The co.operators are
represented by Thos. B. Worrall, of
Manchester, England, who is IT, man
aging director of the company which is
proposed as the bond of union. The
British cooperative societies are not
secret bodies hence it will be impossi-
bic under existing circumstances for
them to unite with the patrons, but
this difficulty has been met by the for
nation of trading company having tho
Endorsement and support of the united
cooperative bodies in England, and
fully organized under the English laws.
The propositions are TO have two
branches of the society, one in Euglap !
and the other in the United States.
The board in each country is to have
the absolute control of the funds sub
scribed therein, and all to be used for
the purpose OF the international ex-
change of commodities. The capital
is s25, 100000.
All transactions are to be for cash or
it's equivalent. The British co.opera-
tors number 100000; have over one
thousand stores, some fifty or sixty cot
ton Spinning mills, about twenty flour
ing mills, an agricultural and horticul-
tural society, and number of manu-
factories, and, of course, consume large
quantity of American products. The
funds subscribed by the English branch
OF the company will be employed
in the purchase of ships, the erec-
tion of warehouses, and the manu-
facture of such articles as are in
constant demand among the patrons of
husbandry. These ships will bring the
goods to New Orleana and other south
ern ports, and to eastern ports if neces-
sary, and they desire the patrons to
employ their portion of the capital in
carrying American staples and products
to meet these ships, and thus to make
the necessary exchange in the most
direct and simple manner. The CO.
operators have large surplus capital,
which is constantly on the increase, and
which they think can be profitabfy en-
ployed in this trade.
While each branch of the company
will have control of it's own affairs the
two boards will form council, who will
by joint action decide what branches of
business will be engaged in, and define
the method of conducting the same.
An American will be sent to Liverpool
to watch the interests of the grange
branch of the compqny, and the Eng
lish board will have like representa-
tive in New Orleans, while the general
supervision will be in the hands of q
managing director. already elected, and
who, though an Euglshman born, has
been tweDty-three years in America.
The proposition is regarded with great
favor, and it is expected the sub com
mittee of the national orange, to whom
the whole matter has bo IN referred, will
report Monday.
The executive committee determined
to send three of their number, viz.
Messr5. Shankland, of Iowa Chase, of
New Hampshire and Jones, of Arkan-
sas, to represent the patrons of hus-
bandry in the cotton states congress.
