THE NEW YEAR.

i The New \ Gear opens with CHEEKY and
HeaSant prospects for our Order. Interest
n the Grange seems to be aroused and
acreased in every direction; and never
Snce our first venture have we had such
|hcouragement as during the past month.
his does not look as if the Grange was
BAD or dying. We have all along had

DIV necessary the organization was to
Sc dearest interests of the farming class;
kprung from necessfty-it was the ex-
HFesson of an imperative demand. Our
nEoducing class was so caught in the tolls,
So hampered by ignorance, this igno-
nee the inevitable result OF isolation, that
presented gloomy picture. The Grange
Is furnished the opportunity for redemp-
.ion, and wherever it has been taken hold

much money out of them as is possible.

Our valued friend and brother, Samuel
n. Barnes, of Miller county, Arkansas,
sent MS a handsome club of subscribers
recently as part of his good work on his
72nd birthday. This veteran Patron has
been so active and efficient in the cause,
that we supposed he was in the meridian
of life. May he be spared TO our Order
MANY wears to witness the result of his
labors in the glorious success of theGrange.

The co operative gin at Brookston was
erected at cost of some three thousand
dollars. and commenced operations on the
aad day of September. From Capt. T. A.
Perkins we learn that six hundred bales
have been ginned, and that dividend of
S. per bale has already been declared.
This is in addition to the 3 per cent set
aside as sinking fund. So it will be
seen that cooperation does pay. Capt.
Perkins thinks ssnew process" cotton

that this may be so-Pavis. North Texan.

SENATOR MORGAN'S SPEECH.


We will publish next week some ex-
tracts from the able speech of Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, on his resolution
antagonizing the resolution of Senator
Bayard in relation to legal tenders. Mr.
Morgan's resolution declares that the vol
ume of greenbacks should not be dimin-
ished nor their legal tender function abol-
ished, and that the coinage of silver should
be placed on the same footing as that of
gold. This resolution undoubtedly voices
the sentiments of three fourths OF the peo
pie of all parties and sections, and the
speech of Senator Morgan is a mastery
vindication of the doctrines and policy it
enunciates.
Senator Morgan is one of the ablest
members of the American Senate and is
one of the few who, in our opinion, has
never gone wrong on any question that
has arisen in that body. He is emphati-
cally the champion of the farmers and
workingmen-thet tribune of the people
We are glad that he introduced his reso-
luton before the holidays, that the world
might know that the Southern people,
however much they deprecate Radical
rule, do not yet propose to dance to the
crack of the whip of Bayard and the bond
bankers.

We were in error few weeks ago in
speaking of Brother L. Moore of Florence,
Williamson county, Texas, as Master of
his Grange. He writes us that he 's only
a private in the ranks" But he is one of
the most active and efficient members of
the Order, and deserves all the more
thanks for his splendid services in the

GOODREPORT FROM CANADA.

AOOOD NEION1 + KUN CANA ADA.
The Grange of the Dominion of Cana
da held its sixth annual meeting at Toron-
to last week. At the last meeting there
were reportee III Subordinate Oranges
and AZ Division Oranges, while this year
the Secretary reports 766 Subordinate
and 81 Division Oranges, showing an in
crease of over one Subordinate Grange a
week for the year just past. One pleasing
feature of this increase, says the Canadian
Farmer, is that twenty -one of these new.
Oranges were formed in Novia Scotia.
The farmers of that Province seem to be
alive to their interests, and have taken
hold of this movement with energy. AS
will be seen by the Secretary's report, the
number of members in good standing is
about 81 900, the number year ago being
25,3I4, so that we see there is an increase
OF numbers of over 5000 in this year.
The growth now is healthy, and as the
principles and intentions of the Order be-
come better known the increase becomes
steady and enduring.
Such then is the good report from the
Dominion of Canada And what more
cheering and encouraging need the Pa
irons in the States wish for? Such solid
fruits gathered in one year clearly indi-
cate the progress of Grange zeal

And now coal is to go up-not that it
costs more at the mines, but simply be-
cause the railroad carriers so decide.
Combination means monopoly.
The above is an editorial chip in the
n. Y. Herald of Tuesday. 1t is a very
opportune text for~elaborate thought and
discussion at the meetings of Subordinate
Oranges. How true and pertinent Com
bination means monopoly" These rail-
road carriers now sec their opportunity,
and will unhesitatingly dare to advance
until they have embraced every class of
freight merchandise. They do not intend
to stop with coal. By combination as
common carriers they have forced up the
price of this essential commodity in house
hold and manufactures, which will have
an influence upon other commodities that
are transported from market centres to the
towns and villages of our mechanical,
farming and laboring classes.
Patrons, give thought to the text, Com
bination means monopoly" If any of you
are inclined to falter in Grange work and
interests we trust that these three words
will rekindle the smouldering fame in
your hearts, and cause you to rise again in
your might and VOW most aggressive war
fare against all denominations" that mean
monopoly"
Farmers not members of the Grange,be
no longer Indifferent and foolish. You
have heard the warning words, "Combi-
nation means monopoly" With the revi-
val of trade and commerce in this country
you are again at the mercy of railroad
monopolies, and unless you protect your
selves under the broad wings of the
Grange you will be forced to inglorious
surrender. Accept the ultimatum and
join the only organization that has ever
offered to protect the farming class against
the encroachments of combinations and
monopolies.
To battle against these encroachments
in whatever form they may present them
selves it is only necessary to refer to the
cooperative feature of the Grange. If all
farmers and Patrons will resolve upon in
divisible cooperation they can bid deti-
ance to any and all combinations that
would visit them and theirs with disaster
and ruin.
Cooperation in the Grange is an initial,
lible remedy against combinations and
smonopolies Pennsylvania Farmers

would like to know the condition of the
