Plain Talk

Nobody can deny that the National
Grange at its last meeting set forth the
objects of the order in a clear straight
forward manner Hear them
DECLARATION or PRINCIPLES.
We, the members of the National
Grange. desiring to defiue the precise
oblecfs of the Order OF Patrons Of
Husbandry, and place them before the
membership of the order throughout
the Union. do hereby set forth the fol-
lowing propositions with our distinct
declaration Of purpose relating there
to:
The industry upon which our order
Is based is agriculture the most i'm
portant of all industries-the founda-
non and support of all others-the
r basis of all our national prosperity
we have observed the condition of our
people, and viewed with alarm the IN
crOachments upon their natural rights.
hlle agriculture S the chief source
OF all wealth, anu therefore deserving
OF at least equal recognition with other
~avocatlons, L. is deprived of its Just re
wards and oppressed by methods of
law. 1t Is made TO pear grlevous bur
denS not Its own it IL compelled TO
pay taxes which an equitable dlstribu-
ton would place elsewhere; ii Is
forced by wicked combinations to sub
NIT to burtful discrIm nations against
its products both in transpDrta ion and
III the mariS Of sale; Its votaries have
been and are denied that consideration
in pubic affairs to which the magnl-
tude and the importance of their cali
ing entitle them. The laws of the
nation and OF the several States are so
| framed as to divert from this great
industry the rewards which are the
great incentives to toll, and our earnest
remonstrance agal st their injustice
spurned.
In view of these truths we are
bound in defence of manhood to
assert our rights, and we therefore
declare unalterable purpose TO
emancipate agriculture from the ur-
dens unjustly heaped upon it, and the
means by which we shall 81 elk to secure
the desirable end.
/. We shall strive earnestly, within
and without our order. to extend he
berefits of education which shall com
prise knowledge ~ public affairs and
the methods of self-government.
,. We shall demand admission IL
the legislatures of the several States
and in both houses of the National
Congress, for representatives OF agri-
culture chosen direc ly from its vota.
RES. as the only means Of relief.
