EditOr Patron. | am reioiced to see
you so determined to stand by the labor
ing class and so faithfully contend for
their rights. While we wage no war, we
must fight when the oppressor wages war
against us. | have been taking and read
ing THE PATRON for several years, and
have always found it contending for the
welfare of the masses, and I am sorry to
see some farmers and even Oranges try
ing to throw stumbling blocks in its way
But | am glad to know that these stones
only makes its true friends redouble their
efforts to increase its circulation.
Be not discouraged, my brother, be not
discouraged, readers of THE PATRON, at
such little long metred song as has of late
appeared in the Jackson Clarion from
New Harmony Grange, I63, Miss, for it
has been condemned by large majority
of the Grangers and farmers who read
THE PATRON. 1t has proven to be a fruit
less little trick. The words did not
suit the meter; the tenor has no Grange
sound; the treble sounds like an office
seeker; the bass and chorus are horrible,
for they are the basest and coarsest l ever
heard. l hope the counter is better than
the other parts, and will soon come forth
ther Patrons and members of New Har-
mony Grange, as one who feels deep in
terest in the welfare of the Order and can
from his heart bid it God-speed, l ask you
to think calmly and seriously upon the ar
ticle you sent out to be seen and read by
thousands of both friends and enemies Of
the Order. 1t is impossible to keep down
differences of opinion; but as Grangers
and brethren we should make them as few
as possible, and when they do arise, we
should discuss them in manly, brotherly
manner; convince and be convinced Of
error, and all try to see Alright.
l cannot forbear saying that l think
New Harmony Grange owes the Editor
and friends of THE PATRON an apology
for the scurrilous language used in the ar
ticle referred to above.

for the use of property to which it has no
shadow of claim. Enough is known to
prove beyond all reasonable doubt that
the result of the Maine and Ohio elections
was largely determined by the action of
the National banks in direct opposition to
the wishes and hopes of the nation. 1t is
no secret that the National Banking AS
sociation is determined at all hazards to
make Capital victorious over Labor. En-
terprise, and Industry, in the success of
the Republican party. The question then
for the people to determine is, Are they
willing to continue supporting and build
ing up powerful, unscrupulous associa-
ton which taxes them for the privilege Of
using their own money, and then uses
these ill-gotten gains to undermine, sub
vert, and finally destroy their liberties?

IT IS WRONG.

Bro. L. !. Carver, the active and efficient
General Manager of the Southwestern
Cooperative Association at New Orleans.
in his weekly report published in our last
issue, complained that many members of
the Order send to him for price lists and
chants. This is all wrong; it is suicidal
policy. These Cooperative Associations
have been established by members of the
Order under the system recommended by
the National Grange, and were designed
for the benefit of tarmers-to enable them
to escape the oppressive exactions of the
merchants. If these Associations were
destroyed, as the merchants most earnestly
desire, it would be great misfortune to
the farmers. And this must be the inevi-
table result, if the members of the Order
use these Associations merely to drive bar
gains with the merchants. Some farmers
delude themselves with the belief that they
can sell their cotton to and purchase their
supplies from the merchants on more fa-
vorable terms than with their Co-opera-
tive Associations. Some even think that
they can beat faro dealers at their game,
but it takes only few trials to open their
eyes to their mistake. Their chances with
the merchants are not much better than
with the faro dealers.
Farmers and Pat1 ons should remember
that in transacting their business with the
Southwestern Cooperative Association,
it is managed honestly and to promote
their interests, and that they will receive
at the end of the quarter their share of the
profits of the business; and what is of still
greater importance, they will get pure,
unadulterated articles.
We advise farmers, Patrons and Gran
ges to take stock in the Southwestern CO.
operative Association, and concentrate
their business on it. 1t has been tried by
hundreds of Patrons in the Southwest,
and given complete satisfaction.
The cooperative system is the true sys-
tem Give it your confidence and support.

THE GREENBACK.

NATIONAL BANKS-Analysis of Comptrol-
Ter Knox's Report-Starting Revelations.
Thirteen hundred millions of dollars
($1, ,3oo, 100000 taxes in Is years on the
wages of Labor and the products of Labor
to support that Republican, party incubus
known as the National Banking System,
is the surprising revelation which awaits
us in Comptroller Knox's Report. Thir
teen hundred millions of gross receipts in
Is years on an average capital stock OF less
than four hundred millions! Capital dou-
bles itself in Io1 years at 6 per cent simple
interest; but behold, the National Bank
ing Capital earns 325 per cent in only Is
years! Nevertheless, Comptroller Knox,
at the bidding OF Sherman, Shylock,
Grant & Co., alias the Republican party,
labors assiduously in his Report to prove
that National Banking is a business no
shrewd man will touch who hopes to reap
any more than a minimum profit on his
investment.
| have shown in a previous paper that
the National Banks derived their gross re-
ceipts from three main sources, namely,
from Interest on Government bonds de-
posted by them at Washington in ex-
change for currency and other purposes;
from LRLeFeSL' on 1OdnS Oh Ddnk Cdpltal,
and from Interest on loans of bank depos-
its. All Interest, all UsURY, in some shape
or form, for the use of what ought to be
free and open to every one without charge.
The Interest received by the banks on
their bonds averaged $24ooo,ooo a year,
or 100000 900 for the IS years ending
October, rs. Now, it must be borne
steadily in mind that these $3oo,ooo,ooo
were paid by tare on the wages of La
Dor and the profits of Industry; that this
tare would have been all spared to the la
borer, merchant mechanic, etc, had green
backs been issued in lieu of the bonds and
bank currency, and that the National debt
would not thereby have been augmented
single penny. AS it is, all classes, from
the maid servant to the merchant and man
ufacturer, have, year after year, been pay
ing tribute out of their earnings to the ex-
tent of $500, 600, 900, merely to support a
political machine which the Republican
party are using with terrible effect in their
efforts to kindle sectional strife between
the North add South, that their lease o1
sdespotism and corruption may be indefi
nitely prolonged.
Deducting the 5000, 100000 received by
the banks for interest on their bonds from
their ST., 300, 100000 of gross receipts, we
have So4o, 100000 as the tax levied in 1;

of labor for the use of bank capital ane

MISSISSIPPI STATE GRANGE.

There should be full meeting of the
State Grange at Forest on the 9th. Every
delegate should make it his special busl-
ness to attend There was never
more propitious time for effective Grange
work than now. The Order in this State
is on firmer ground than ever before, and
the work before it is of a more practical
character. The Subordinate Oranges are
ripe for an onward movement, and II the
State Grange proves itself equal to the oc-
casion-takes an advanced position and
adopts practical, progressive measures
the masses will rally to the support OF
such measures with an enthusiasm un-
known in the history of the Order
Great cooperative enterprises can now
be inaugurated and pushed forward to
success. Cooperative stores are no longer
a mere experiment; they are in successtui
operation in scores of places throughout
the STATE. They will now rapidly increase

give them the prominence their impor-
tance deserves.
We look for important results to follow
this meeting of the State Grange. Worthy
Master Darden, with the splendid recogni-
ton of his ability and zeal by the National
Grange, will be prepared to make sugges-
tions that will rouse the members to an
enthusiasm that will be felt in every Sub
ordinate Grange in the State. Let every
delegate go prepared to sustain, to give
form and force to the patriotic efforts of
the gallant leader who has worked so long
and SO faithfully in the cause.

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.

1t affords us great pleasure to announce
the newly elected officers of the National
Grange. We take the following from the
report of the fourth days proceedings of
that body:
CANANDAIGUA, n. Y, Nov. p, 1879.
The special order was the election of officers,
which, being by ballot each one of thirteen Off
GERS and two members of the Executive Commit
tee being voted for separately, and some of them
requiring several ballots, consumed the time until
the close of the afternoon session, and resulted in
the election of the following persons for the con-
stitutional term of two years:
Master. J. Woodman. of Michigan.
Oyerseer-Put. Darden of Mississippi.
Lecturer-Henry Eshbaugh, of Missouri.
Steward-A. ]. Vaughan, of Tennessee.
Assistant Steward-Williams Sims, of Kansas.
Chaplain-S H. Ellis, of Ohio
Gate Keeper-O. Dinwddie, of Indiana
Ceres-Mrs. II. II. Woodman, of Michigan.
Pomona-Mrs NJ. l.. Darden, of Mississippi.
Flora-Mrs E. NJ. Nicholson, of New Jersey
L. A. S.-Mrs. William Sims, of Kansas.
Executive Committee William G. Wayne, Of
New York; d. Wyatt Aiken, of South Carolina
These officers are all zV0rkine- members.
Worthy Master Woodman has long been
prominent in the Order, and is one Of the
ablest and most active leaders in the
North.
The election of Worthy Master Dardeh
to the second position will be especially
gratifying to the Patrons of Mississippi
a,,I &C II, foY nd
. fitting compliment to one of our ablest
leaders, whose splendid services in the
cause had endeared him to the farmers
of his State and marked him as one of the
foremost men in the Order. The Patrons
of Mississippi, who will appreciate the
honor conferred upon their faithful and
fearless representative, will now gather
around him with an enthusiasm that will
give greater weight and success to his la
bOrs in the good cause.
The Lecturer, Worthy Master Esh
baugh, is an admirable selection. AS Mas
ter of the Missouri State Grange he proved
himself worthy successor to the lamen-
ted Allen.
In the office of Steward, Mississippi
can claim to be represented, for General
Vaughan was the first Master of our State
Grange. His reelection was a handsome
compliment to his efficiency as an officer
and his zeal in the cause. He has an ex-
cellent assistant in Worthy Master Sims,

We can never secure independence un-
til the day arrives when there will be
cotton factory in every neighborhood, to
manufacture the raw material into cloth
before it is baled. The cotton is grown
in the southern states, shipped thous-
and miles north or three thousand miles
across the ocean, converted into cloth and
then shipped back past the southern ports
from which it came to East India, South
America, and even to our own people,
This is obviously an unnatural state OF
things. All that is needed to change 1T IS
a national commercial system and an IN
telligent spirit of enterprise in the south
ern states. If the southern people have
the wisdom to pursue the right policy IN
this matter the day is not distant when
they will have the satisfaction of seeing
British cotton machinery and the machln-
erv of all the eastern, northern and west
ern states, and all the skilled labor requir-
ed to operate them, transferred to the
towns. cities. and even the cotton fields OF
the south. This would inaugurate new
industry in the south, and an increase OF
nonulation and wealth such as the south
has never known. But our people must
do something more than boast and pirate
about their advantages and the future
prosperity that awaits them. The cry of
a want of capital is poor excuse, for
more money is sent from each neighbor-
hood annually SO purchase the manufac-
tured cotton goods, to buy wagons, farm
ing implements, flour, hay, corn, mules,
and bacon. than would be necessary for
more enterprising people to start and
rim manufacturing establishments. The
south is capable of becoming the most

The true Patron has no fears of the ulti-
mate success of the Grange. This does not
trouble him though his own and neigh
boring Oranges drag on tedious, unprof-
liable existence. He has an abiding faith
in the future. But he wants to see grand
success. He is not satisfied with what
may be, but earnestly looks to the accom-
plishment of what he knows are within
the possibilities of the Order Grange

TESTS AGAINST THE REMOVAL OF MURDER
TRIAL FROM STATE TRIBUNAL TO THE
UNITED STATES CoURT-REPoRT CT THE
JOINT COMMITTEE.
(By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. II. 1879.
In the of the two negroes Reynolds. brothers.
on trial for murder in the State Court.
and taken out Of that court by Judge
Rives. Of the United States Court. the special
committee Of the Senate and the Committee
on Federal Relations of the House of Delegates have
this evening agreed upon joint report, which they
will make tomorrow to both houses and have fixed
as the order Of the day for Wednesday.
LIMITATIONS OF FEDERAL AUTHORITY.
The report, which has been prepared by Senator
johnson. is an exhaustive examination into and
analysis of the powers of the federal government.
and shows how those powers have been enlarged
otherwise affected by the war amendments.
1t claims that under the federal scheme and
plan of government tho United States have their
duties to perform and the States their functions
and duties the former being allowed only to exercise
the powers delegated to then while the latter
ercise all other powers which have been to
them to the people, and that any attempt by the
United States to perform the duties of the States
by the States perform those of the United States
are alike usurpation, unconstitutional and void.
RESERVED RIGHTS OF THE STATES.
The report also shows that the States have reserved
and prosperity of their own citizens by their own
laws, executed by their own officers through their
own courts. and that therefore the attempt of
Judge Rives to try charged with murder I'M
der the laws of Virginia is grave usurpation
Of authority. 1t denounces the Civil Rights bill and
Enforcement acts as unconstitutional, and calls on
all the States to join Virginia in bringing the govern
ment back to its constitutional limitations and
strictions. The report concludes with long set of
adoption. 1t will be signed by all the members of
the both committees.
