The Mississippi Legislature in its clos.
ing hours memorializud Congress as fol.
lows: .-.. ..
WHEREAS, Doubts have arisen wheth.
er the Legislature of the State of Mis.is.
sippi can constitutionally enact law reg.
ulating the tariffs on inter State railroads
and the freight on navigable streams in
this State;
AND WHEREAS, Unjust discrimination is
made on all said roads in this State, as
well as by steamers, and other water
crafts on said navigable streams, respec-
ting tariff and freight rates in favor Of
different localities along said roads and
streams;
AND WHEREAS, Gross injusti &c is thus
done to persons passing freight over said
roads and streams, by leaving them to the
mercy of large and powerful corporated
monopolists without any means of resist
ing their extortionate and unequal de-
mands;
Therefore be 1T r>solued by the House
(the Senate concurring), That we, the
Representatives of the people of the State
of Mississippi, do solemnly memo riaze
the Congress of the United States, in their
wisdom, to provide, by appropriate legis.
laton, some adequate means of restraining
such unjast discrimination by the pas sage
of a general law regulating the tart fl and
freight rates on all railroads and navig able
streams in the United States

GRANGE POLITICS

AT meeting of the County Crane.
recently held in Milford, Delaware o.
following resolution was offered by Bro.
Rosa and Hydorn, and was passed bv !.
unanimous vote:
Resolved, That the membership tbro,
out the county are earnestly requested 70
renew their pledge of fealty to the card;
nal principles of our Order-especiaIlv
those that enjoin upon Patrons a GARRETT
attention to the political duties required .,
the hands of every citizen of the United
States, and we do this knowing that tbo
unequal representation had by farmers n
the political life of our State, has and will
result in legislation contrary to our inter.
ests as Patrons and Agricultursts. Ana
while we urge this upon you as the i'm.
perative duty of the hour-to labor both
within and without the Grange to incul.
cate sound and ennobling ideas respecting
our political duties, it is equally our duty
as we value the permanence of our Order
to guard carefully the door that leads to
pan tisan warfare.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-13

We are proud of the strong support
which THE PATRON is receiving from the
noble Patrons of Georgia. Every mail
brings us clubs of subscribers from that
State, and from the efforts being made
by the leaders there, our circulation in
Georgia will soon be as large as it is in
Texas. Worthy Master T. ]. Smith and
Worthy Secretary E. Taylor, two able,
patriotic leaders who are worthy of the
great cause they represent, are working
with splendid effect to revive the Order,
and they will succeed. They are ably
sustained by corps of County Deputies
and Masters of Subordinate Oranges, who
are determined that the Grange shall be
the leading organization in the great EN-
pire State of the South.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-13
GRANGE COOPER ALTON

There is necessity of having some one
in every Subordinate Grange, or in everv
county, to work up the cooperative in.
terest in order to make it practicable. If
this were properly done, the financial ad.
vantages would be brought within reach
of every member. This would be of
value, and would be appreciated by mem.
bers in general; it would also induce them
to be regular in attendance at the Grange
meetings, where the educational work is
to be done. We must not forget that ef.
forts are required to accomplish any great
object, and in order to make the Grange
success we must put forth all necessary
efforts, sacrifices, if need be, to accomplish
the objects of our search. Let us then
work in harmony to make every feature
of our noble Order grand success, bid
adieu to selfshness, prejudice and zeal.
ousies, and labor for the greatest good to
the greatest number, and in this way we
will do more for US individually than we
can do by working only for self-Ne.
6raska Farmer.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-13

The Grange ought to be the center of
life in neighborhood. 1t ought to be so
organized and conducted as to bring
around it, in more or less active sympathy
and support, all the best men and women
in the neighborhood, and to have its ex.
ercises such as to interest all parties, and
last but not least the Patrons and Ma
irons little helpers, who will soon be far
mers and farmers's wives, and who will
soon be, also, the leaders of society and
the directors of public affairs. The
Grange ought to be school in which all
the best people of the neighborhood take
active part. 1t ought to be the social GEN.
ter. and it ought to be the business center
and the seed of cooperative and other
enterprises in which the community take
interest. Ii ought to be as liberal as the
church and its leaders ought to have as
much of the missionary spirit as the chris
tan ministry. Brothers and sisters. have
we done our dutyi Are we doing our
whole duty nows-Dirieo Rural.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-13
WHAT COOPERATION DOES.

The following tabular statement, which
is based upon actual experience and is far
below the success of many cooperative
stores in this country,will show the advan-
tages of Patrons having their own stores
and buying from themselves. The calcu-
lation is made for II years, beginning with
an investment of$Io, allowing 10 per cent
interest per annum, purchases TO the
amount of 500 annually, 10 per cent net
profit on sales, and 20 per cent accumula-
tiOn.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-13

Baron Liebig says: "The only method
by which you can possibly advance and
develop agriculture is by experiments;
that is the only plan; for there is no branch
of industry so completely built up by ex-
pertinent as agriculture"
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-03-13

We look to the managers of Co-oPera-
tive Associations to aid materially in ex-
tending the circulation of THE PATRON.
A manager who il an earnest Patron can
easily induce every one making purchases
at his store to subscribe for this journal,
which is the only outspoken advocate of
