At the meeting Of the Secretaries of the
State Oranges to be held in Philadelphia. in
September. there Will be present MANY
members Of the State Executive Commit
tees, the general purpose of all being to ar
range methods for the workings Of the
Order. Present Indications show that there
will be a good number. OF the Secretaries on
hand ready to discuss the various plans on
which the business oftheir respective. off. rs
is conducted. TIE Granger Vjsjtor.
From the National Granger.
The recent large orders to Grange ager-
cies for fertilizers show The immense good
that agricultural papers are doing among
the farmers. They are beginning to nd.tiiat.
an increase of yield per acre pays much bet
ter than the old system Of no manure and
large acreage.
The report Of Bro. Wright, by showing
that England enters heartily with Us in the
great work Incorporation, has aroused PA
irons throughout the United States to a sense
of its Importance, as Is evidenced by the MI
merous letters we are receiving from various
sections asking Information for the plan and
bylaws for cooperative Unions. The
Changers very rightly think that they have
brains enough to do their own selling and
buying. @
Politicians who etriycd 50 ardently to
break down the order Of Patrons Of Illus

and ingratiate themselves with the Changers
by protesting 70 be in full accord with the
great farmers movement. Patrons should
look well to this matter, and see that only
such men receive their votes Us will advocate
the rights of the laboring classes, and work
to break UP the rings and monopolies that
are sapping the life blood from honest toilers.
Many subordinate Oranges and large num-
bers of members have, and will, 10 doubt,

is natural, because these were the offspring
of excitement and tie selfish hope Of i'm

lief Of the true workers, butthis Will s%trentii-

twenty-five thousand Changes are now in

educate the agricultural masses and make

We have also at Mt. Pleasant q co-opera-
tive store, established upon the National
Grange plan, and it is doing a good business
and it is in reference to this plan that we
wish to ask a few questions.
First, that part of rule fifteen, which pro-
yides that non-members shall receive, n pro-
portion, one-half the dividends paid to mem-
bers. Some want this feature stricken out,
and some want it retained. The first think
that, as no-members take no stock to help
build up the enterprise, the getting goods at
reduced prices which results from the estab-
lishment of a grange store in any n%eighbor-
hood, ought to satisfy them, and they should
ask no more. Which do you think wouldb be
best? sr e
Secondly, innregard to rule sixteen, if q
member purchase goods to the amount OF So
per quarter, he shall receive interest up to
fifty cents, and if his purchases amount to
$40, he shall be allowed interest up TO 81,
and so on. We want to know the design OF
this rule, and whether it chad not better be
stricken out also. Light is what we want
in our business relations. We wan the
grange to become a greater power in the
land than it now is. At the beginning Of
this great movement, many expected that
the grange was going to make them, with
out any effort on their part. Disappointed,
they grew weary and fell back. 1t would
have been about as reasonable for this class
to nave sat OH q rock in ameadow, and wait
ed for a cow to back up and be MIXED, as
to expect benefits from the order without an
effort. This, the members who have acted
so Inconsistency arenow beginning to see,
and as a result, the order here is getting in
to a more healthy condition, and the bene-
fits OF organization and cooperation are be-
ginning to be realized. S.. n

Touching dividends to non-members, we
recommend the adoption OF the principle, 81
the ground Of its beneyolence and justice.
Though Patrons Of Husbandry, the above
letter shows that all have not yet given up
their s%ellishness. 1T cannot be expected that
all will see clearly the advantages Of coop
Grafton. Those who do, have an opportu-
nifty of showing its advantages to those who
do not, by allowing them some participa-
ton in the profits. That is its benevolent
o.. good-will feature. It's justic may be more
clearly shown BY illustration. Suppose a
cooperative store has one hundred custom
ers, one-lfth Of whom are non-share hold
ers. Suppose all had traded alike, and the
store had done q business during tile year of
$50, 900. One-fifth Of that business would be
10000, leaving $4,000 as the aggregate
trade Of the eighty shareholders. Allowing
twenty per cent gross profit on $4,000,
gives us $1,000; or, allowing 5000 Tor ex-
pellses, which would include rent, salary, Ii
cense, taxes, interest, etc, ETC., leaves So, 200
as the net profit OF the eighty members.
Bat here comes in an outside trade Of $10,-
600, with its profit of twenty per cent.
amounting in the aggregate to $4,000, which
increases the total net profits Of the business
to $1,000. Is it not simple justice and equi-
ty to recognize the right Of those who have
contributed to this increase of profits, to a
proportionate share?. Is it not therefore,
plain that it pays a cooperative society
financially to allow dividends to non-nem-
bers? But is the true Patron to be- gov
erned in his actions solely by the considera-
ton of dollars and cents? Is this the better
manhood which the order is to develop
through co-operation?,
In, regard to rule sixteen, we confess we
do not clearly understand its meaning. It
seems to mean that no interest will be al
lowed on capital invested, if the purchases
of the member are less than $40 per year. 1t
seemsa as if the design of the rule was to
compel members to. trade at their own store,
and to exclude them from participation in
any of its benefits, if they did not. We
should be pleased to have an explanation
from the committee who framed the rules,
upon this point. The last sentence of rule
four, declares that no Patron shall continue
