which the farmers now complain. In
deed, there is not a promise made by the
organization, or reform desired by its
members, that can not be accomplished
by the true, method of co-oPeration. But
lust as long as we give more heed to
strife, sectionalism, and paftisanism than
we do to fraternal CO. operation, we must
expect to bear the burdens that of right
belong TO others.
Cooperation in our Order means adj
vancement.of agriculture, success of our
organization, prosperity of its members,
and elevation of higher and nobler wo-
manhood and manhood. So Thoroughly
are we impressed with the magnitude of
this subject, and its influence upon the
future prosperity of our Order that we
most respectfully recommend that the
members of the National Grange be re-
quested to use all reasonable effort in their
respective States to teach, by practice and
precept, cooperation in its true sense in
all things pertaining to our Order, to the
end that it may be a triumphant success.
We shall then know no favoritism, no
sectionalism, but one people, one govern

good of the people.
