In Mississippi the Grange has foothold
that is as deep as the broad river bearing
the name of the State. So deep-rooted
are its principles among its farmers that
there is strong movement on foot to ell
evate one of their number, Worthy Mas
ter Darden, TO the u. S. Senate By the
State Legislature TO be chosen next fall.
This movement is not only talk, but com
bines all the elements of solid work and
organization at the conventions, regard
less of party fealty. "The election of Wor-
thy Master Darden to the u. S. Senate
says THE PATRON oE HUsBANDRY,
would be of incalculable benefit to the
Order throughout the entire Union The
farmers of other States would be encour-
aged to unite and organize for the special
purpose of electing good and true farmers
to both Houses of Congress, and their
voice would soon be potent in the legisla-
tive halls of the country. Pennsylvania

The splendid resolutions adopted at a
meeting of farmers of Chickasaw county,
in this State, which we print elsewhere,
have the genuine ring These farmers
have made a good beginning, and we
earnestly hope they will stand firm and
steadfast in their manly determination to
strike for justice and independence. They
have only to be firm, to draw to their sup
port tens of thousands throughout the
State who have only to be reused from
their lethargy to become active, enthusi-
astic supporters of the patriotic policy
adopted by the noble farmers of Ghicka-
saw.
Let the farmers act promptly in every
election beat, send their best men as del
egates to the county conventions, instruct
ed to nominate good and true men as can
didates for the Legislature, and Capt. Put
Darden, the able and patriotic champion
of farmers rights, will be the next Sena
tor from Mississippi.

The more general and systematic move
ment of immigrants in this direction from
New England, New York, Pennsylvania
and other of the old Northern and East
ern States, has only taken shape during
the last few months. There is now here
a gentleman from Po1tland, Maine, who
will probably buy some 10000 acres OF
land on which to locate colony OF seve-
raj families at once, with prospect OF
many more following in the coming au-
tun1n and next spring. The persons com,
posing this inchoate colony are men and
women of culture, made up of frst-class
business men, mechanics, farmers, manu-
facturers, etc., who will bring their all

That the residents of the towns and
villages, under mistaken notion of the
purposes of the Grange, should have an
antipathy to the Order of Patrons is a
matter of no surprise. Men do not look
with friendly eye on what is supposed
to be unfriendly to their personal interests.
Time will do away with this, But in al
most every community we find persons
engaged in agriculture who spare no pains
to show their hostility. The Grange SAYS
plainly we are working for the interests
of agriculture, and incidentally for the
whole country. It would be better in
dication of sound sense in the opposer to
send in his application for membership,
and see what this dangerous secret is

THE NATIONAL BANK DANGER

THE NATIONAL BANK DANGER.
We have frequently given facts and
figures to prove the enormou: power that
the National banks can eA TT through
theirsimmense wealth and influence. We
have shown that they have at their COM
mand millions of dollars that can at any
moment be employed as a corruption fund
to carry out their designs.
But this is not the only source of their
power Back of this fund is their ability
to coerce business men by withholding
| from them back accommodation if they
should make themselves conspicuous by
advocating political measures that would
| have tendency to lessen the profits of
| the National banks, and it is we'll known
that they have not been slow to use this
means of coercion.
If this influence, which in point of time
is yet in its infancy, be not entirely de-
stroyed, the time is not far distant when it
will dominate the Republic with a des-
| potism before which the spirit, if not the
form of our Republican institutions will
wither and disappear.
AS showing how National Banks make
themselves felt in politics, the following
report from John Sherman is instructive:
1t is well-known that the Secretary of the
Treasury has Presidential aspirations
which he thinks will be in good way of
| being realized if his party can carry Ohio
| this Fall. He thinks that on the prin-
ciple that one good turn deserves anoth-
| er that the National Bankers should come
| to his assistance.
1t is true that, as far as the interests of
the National Banks are concerned, it does
not in itself make much difference wheth-
err the Democratic or Republican party
succeeds in Ohio, as success to either party
will not be a menace to these interests.
But if Republican triumph would help
to secure the Presidency for John Sher-
man, the National Bankers feel that they
would be more secure from interference
with their plundering.
1t is on this ground, then, that their
we'll tried and trusted friend, John Sher-
man, is reported to be making an appeal
to their generosity through his brother-i in
law, G. w. Moulton, who is said to have
come on to New York for the purpose
of urging upon them the necessity of con-
trbuting to a Republican victory in Ohio.
His first calfwiH be upon the First Ma
tional Bank, in which he and John Sher-
man both hold stock. This bank, at pres
ent, holds $I2S,ooo,ooo of government
money on deposit, and can, therefore cas-
| lily afford to contribute portion of the
interest on that amount in aid of the man
who allows them to have this money.
This one example shows what power
full influence these National banks can
exert in moulding the politics of the coun-
try. If American citizens do not wish to
be in a few years under the absolute con-
troll ola Plutocracy they should unite to
destroy, root and branch, the whole Ma
tional bank system -. Irish Hyo,ZJ
