The difference that has marked the

The difference that has marked the
policy of the merchants, and other middle
men and the farmers, may be briefly
stated to be, the former have organized,
concentrated their capital, and co-opera-
ted in carrying out all important move
ments, while the farmers have, until the
appearance of the Grange, never organ
lied and never co-operated with each
other, but sought to make up their losses
by the practice of rigid economy The
results of the two systems are plainly eV-
dent everywhere: the organized classes
have welded all power in business ana
political affairs, while numbering but
comparatively small minority of the COM
munity, which has made them wealthy
and powerful; the unorganized, or pro-
ducing classes, though in a vast majority,
are comparatively poor and weak, and
have been forced to submit to every ex-
action and oppression.
The merchants and other capitalists un.
derstand the power and necessity OF or
ganization. They have made it the study
and pactice of life time, and their sys-
TENS are we'll nigh perfect. They have
learned that to carry out business sys-
tenn, it requires the use of money, and
this they willingly contribute. The mi
tiation fees and annual dues OF their
Board of Trade must aggregate an i'm
mense sum, but they are paid promptly
and cheerfully. The merchant in Mem
phis pays 500 for initiation, and at lest
500 in annual dues; in New Orleans,
$500, and larger sum in annual dues; in
New York city, $1,000, and probably
thousands in annual dues. These are i'm
mense sums compared to those paid by the
farmer to join the Grange and in annual
dues
When farmers can give up their preju-
dices, their petty jealousies of each other,
and inform themselves fully of the great
necessity of organization, and how sure
cooperative effort will benefit them and
thier families, they will crowd into the
Grange by tens of thousands, and make it
what it should be, the leading and most
powerful organization in America. We
believe the day is not far distant when
farmers will change the short-sighted pol
icy of the past, and substitute organiza-
ton and cooperative effort for disorgani-
cation and economy.

MAKING PAIPER c

In the manufacturing districts of Eng
land pauperism is increasing at an alarm
ing rate, which shows the blight that has
fallen upon that industry. For the quar-
ter ending in July, the number of paupers
increased thirteen and one-h half per cent
as compared with 1873 and twentv-f five
per cent as compared with 1877. And the
English report says that the prospect is
for still further relative as we'll as actual
increase since there is no more work, but
food is steadily rising.
We have in this country school of
economists who tell us that we must fol-
low English theories if we would be pros
porous. Hard money and free trade is the
cry. There is nothing but misery in such
policy, as we see by the condition of
England. Particularly the money system
of England is obnoxious. 1t has enabled
the crafty capitalist to absorb all the sur
plus earnings of the producing classes, so
that the rich are constantly growing rich
er and the poor poorer. Germany follow
ed in the wake of England and she is be-
coming pauperized. Bismarck, like wise
man, frankly acknowledges that he blum.
dered in adopting the English theories of
political economy and he is getting the
country out of the slough of depend, in
which he forced it, as speedily as possible.
He has secured the adoption of a moderate
protective tariff and he has practically re-
monetized silver.
1t must occur to every man of sense that
the condition of the great mass of people
in Europe and America to-day is not the
result of natural causes. The earth is
teeming with the necessaries of life, but
few monopolize the products of nature,
and the many are forced to shift as best
they may. The man of brains and skill is
not SO successful as the man with craft and
cunning who conspires with those in DOW
er to gain undue advantages over the
producers.
Government is instituted for the benefit
OF the many, and therefore all laws should
aim to protect the producers. In the first
instance money, which is the representa-.
tive of wealth and the tool of trade, should
be made so plenty that the rate of interest
will not exceed the average increase of
wealth above consumption. When inter.
est takes more than this from labor it is
sure to result in pauperism The govern.
ment should frown down on all monono.
lies. Every railroad, telegraph, gas and
water company should be under the con.
troll of the people and kept within proper
bounds. Taxation should be equitable
and fall entirely on the wealthy. Thus
we should have National, State and mn.
niclpal tax on incomes, reaching all cor
PoratIons, firms and individuals. We would
not go as far as Wendell Phillips and
tax wealth so heavy that no man could
ENJOY an income above twenty thousand
dollars.
The first and most practicable move for
the prevention of the growth of pauper-
Ism is to provide an adequate circulating

FROM MISSISSIPPI.
SMITH COUNTY


Editor Patron: Our little place had feast OF
good things by way of a speech from Worthy
Master Darden of the State Grange, on Saturday
the goth of August. Although we had but few
days notice of the time he would be here by IL
O'Clock about so persons had assembled to hear
him. Bro. Darden spoke about two hours, and
was listened to with remarkably good attention!
The impression made on the minds of his hearers
can be best judged by hearing them express their
opinions-all united in saying that it was the best
speech of the season, and many said that 1t was
the best speech they ever heard. The result
many lukewarm Changers have been revived, and
several who were not Changers are enquiring their
way into the Grange. We think that we can have
live Grange here for years to come.
Some newspapers in this part OF the State are
trying to create the impression that the farmers
generally do not endorse Bro. Darden, but can
assure you that the farmers in this part of the
county not only endorse him generally, buten-
dorse his speeches on every point unanimously.

A LIVE OR NCE

A brother writes, Our Grange is ive
one." Only six little words, but how sig
nificant. They set us to thinking. There
are too many dead Granges-too many
that have just enough vitality to keep
them alive, and none to spare. These
hang like an incubus upon the body of
the great reform, dragging it downward
and impeding its progress. There are
rash Oranges, lmpetuous Oranges, indis-
Greet Oranges, but the worst of all is the
dead Grange, for it sends forth from its
carcass the foul odors of decomposition.
and fills the moral air around it with it's
fostering breath, and men avoid it as thew
would eontagion itself Readers, is your
Grange a live one? IF not, what killed it?
Is there vitality enough yet to restore it.
to preserve its life? How many "live''
members have you? Go to work with
renewed zeal Fan the flame if there is
Que. Infuse new life into dead members.
and the next time you write. to us, saw
Our Grange is a live one" There NAV
be live Oranges with dead members in
them, but there can be no dead ORANGES
with live members in them. A half
dozen live, vigorous, energetic, perseyer-
ing Changers will keep any Grange in
the country in an energetic condition.
and are worth whole regiment of cold

The amount of cotton stolen annually
in New York City in the handling of it
reaches from ten to twenty thousand
bales; it amounts to over 10000 bales in
New Orleans. And the stealing goes on
in the same way in all the towns and cities
where cotton is sampled, stored and com
pressed. All the cotton thus stolen
which is called the Getty crops the loss
of the farmers-it all falls upon them
And they can never stop this stealing un-
til they put up "new process" factories and
sell their cotton in the form of thread, rope
and cloth.
