THE MESSAGE.

Mr.. HAYES Message last Monday was
rather a tame affair, and it has attracted
but Iietlo attention either in Congress or
by the country at large. He tnrOwe tub
20 the "stalwart'' whales in the shape of a
declaration that the recent elections in the
North show determination on the part
of the people to maintain, "at any cost,
the freedom of the ballot in all sections of
the country. He joins Secretary Sher-
man in recommending the retirement of
the greenbacks and the discontinuance of
the coinage of silver. In this he over
shoots the mark, and in his eagerness to
propitiate the bond-b bank usurers, gives
the opposition a decided advantage. He
assumes the aggressive-the object of at
tack being the financial system as it exists,
thereby antagonizing the sentiment which
has been the chief support of his past fl
nancial policy, the chief obstacle in the
path of the expansionists-the conserva-
tive opposition to any change in the vol
ume of the currency except such as should
result from the normal operation of the
laws of trade. Hands off ! no more tin
kering with the currency!"-has been the
most effective argument in the mouths OF
the self, styled advocates of "honest
money" So far as the Republican party
is concerned, Mr.. Hayes has thrown away
this trump card, and we opine that uni
ted Democracy will not be slow to take il
up and use it. Mr.. Hayes will find to his
cost, that no considerable portion of the
people of any party or section are ready Il
give up either greenbacks or silver, or t.
sanction any scheme for contraction o
the currency.

COOPERATION IN HOPKINS

2. Editor Patron: Believing that the ma
ny readers of THE PATRON would like to
know what co operation is doing in diff
ferent parts of the country, l will give
you a few items from this county. The
Patrons Cooperative Association in this
county was organized in May last; com
menced business on the I4th day of Au-
gust with a capital of $40; purchases,
$2,3o3. so; entire sales, So, 278; clear profits
$34I.5o, after paying expenses and de-
Quoting interest.
Now, Bro. Worthington, this is what
cooperation has done for those that have
taken hold of it. The amount thus saved
to our farmers is that much made.
Our business is growing rapidly. We
have something over 100 paid up stock
holders now, and still they come. If am
not greatly mistaken, we will have 500 or
1, 900 paid up stockholders by the I4th of
August, 1850. The Grange, too, is 'boom-
ing" in this county. | rode I6 miles last

Agricultural Colleges, everywhere es-

Colleges, everywhere es-
tablished to meet the demand for higher
education for tho farm, may afford the
highest facilities for education in this di
rection, but do not supply this growing
want, for the masses can not avail them
selves of their benefits, and they arc in
too many instances languishing, because
the interest in agricultural education is
at SO low an ebb in our rural communi-
tics. The plan OF popularizing such eds
cation as is herein proposed will ieaG
however to counteraot this indifference
and give an impetus to the growth of
such colleges as they are not likely 9TH
erwise to receive.
In these schools may be impaired an
elementary knowledge of the science of
agriculture. which viii. not only increase
the intelligence that directs our farm
management, but will prepare the coming
farmer to enter the higher school of the
Grarge, with better knowledge of i'm
proved methods, keener zest for the
pursuit of practical information, juster
idea Of the dignity of labor, and higher
conception of the true aims of llfe l am

ORGANIZED SCHOOLS FOR FAR
HF r MERS

Far,,ars farmers wives and farmers
children should meet. together ottener 1or
social purposes, to become acquainted
with each other, and to talk over more
freely those matters which are OF prime
importance to the prosperity and happi!
ness of farmers We know of no school,
no means of culture more efficient tor ed
vocational purposes than the Grange right
ly conducted and managed according to
the rules of the Order But there are
large numbers who are not yet prepared
to work in the Grange. We are surprised
at this no more than we are surprised that
all men and women cannot work together
in the same church. There are diversities
of opinion and consequently diversity of
administration. The material point to
be looked at is some kind OF an
organization that will be efficient to
reach certain conditions Of farm life far
in advance of those at present realized
Notwithstanding all that is said and sung
in regard to the happiness, the pure moral
| influences, of farm life, the innocent pleas
ures and the satisfying communion with
nature that farmers enjoy, we all know
| farmers themselves know and fully real
| ize) the hard, wearisome, unsatisfying,
| and, we were about to say, demoralizing
conditions under which farming is now
carried on To mend these conditions
and to render farming more remuneratlve
and satisfying, we know of no better way
than stated and frequent meetings for mu-
tual conference, discussion, encourage
ment and pleasant intercourse. And if
all interested in farming and DESTROYS of
improving the farmers condition can not,
for reasons best known to themselves,
join in Grange work, let them by all
means form some organization in which
they can work freely and earnestly.
There is certainly enough to talk about,
questions enough to discuss which relate
to a good system of agriculture, to fill uu
one evening in a fortnight with profitable
! work. If there is any want of subjects to
talk upon at these meetings we would
suggest that the following be taken up:
GLOW can we make the farm attractive
to the young?" ''What books and papers
shall we read, how shall we obtain them,
and how read them?" ''The grass crop
its value-seeding, culture and gathering"
"What improvements can be made to les
sen the labor of house, keepers Such
questions as these, and hundred others
equally important might be discussed at
the meetings with great profit. We hope
this season affording the best opportunity
for social meetings and social culture will
not be neglected by any class Of farmers.

FARMERS, PATRONS-READ!
PONDER

''They hold a dark caucus, while workingmen
They spread their vile nets where the gold dust is
deep,
They measure this beautiful land by their power,
And tax us till want enters in at our door,
0, dire are the evils that loom up anear,
Filling our hearts with dread bcding fear,
Turning up vices that muddle mems brains,
While Shylocks reaping their harvest OF
gains
The lines quoted above express true
conception of the venturesome misdeeds,
in business way, of monopolists, political
demagogues and wildcat spectators, who
are opposed to the Grange and all other
organizations that cooperate for mutual
protection. Now, is it possible that far
mers and Patrons must be continually re-
minded of such sterling truisms that
should long ago have become automatic
with them? Read the lines over and over
again, until it is impossible to erase them
from the memory; then, perhaps, you will
fully realize the mountains of truth in
their meaning.
''They hold dark caucus while work
ingmen Sleep" should Jingle in the ears OF
every farmer and mechanic who is alive
to his own inherent rights and interests,
and arouse him to repel the threatened
warfare upon those rights and interests by
this dark caucus of indolent, speculative
vampires in farming and industrial com
nIuHities In view of this fact, and when
we contemplate the grand success and
noble purposes of the Order of Patrons OF
Husbandry, insuring, as it does, such ex-
allied and beneficial results, and in its
practical workings the most just and legit-
innate, we wonder at any lack of zeal OF
tagging interest in its members-we mean
those members who leisurely saunter into
the meetings of their Subordinate Gran
ges, and perform the work of the meeting
in listless, perfunctory way, and then ad-
journ as early as is reasonably practicable
If such Patrons would only fathom the
true meaning Of our quoted lines, we
would have high hopes for increased ac-
tivity in Grange work eyerywhere.-Far-
n1er's Friend.
