Twelve months ago, nothing was
heard of the Grange in Alabama
and Georgia; notices of Grange
meetings seldom appeared in the
public prints, and members of the
Order in other States began to fear
that the leaders there had given up
the fight. In each of the above
States the mistake was made of
adopting as the Grange organ an
agricultural journal that subordina-
ted its Grange department to its ae-
ricultural and general news features;
indeed, SO far from advocQtiz1o the
principles and measures of the Or
der, the so-called Grange organs in
Alabama and Georgia seldom. made
any allusion even to the Order. and
the work which was being done by
the active Oranges had no effect be-
yond their immediate localities for
the reason that no publicity was
given to it. But the adoption of
1HE PATRON by the Georgia State
Grange has changed all this. Letters
from members of the Order in that
State and Alabama to THE Patron
have been widely read, and Patrons
all over the country are beginning
to realize that the Grange in those
States has some splendid leaders,
and in some localities it is full of
life. The publication of these letters
and the circulation of THE Patron
among the Patrons of Georgia, with
the splendid efforts of Worthy Mas
ter Smith and Worthy Secretary
Taylor of the State Grange, and the
County Deputies, are arousing the
members to their duty and causing
them to redouble their efforts in
behalf of the cause. And in Ala
bama we have cheering indica-
tons OF general revival. The ad-
dress of Worthy Master Harrison
to the Patrons of that State and the
letter of Worthy Secretary TAYLOR,
which we published recently, will
induce thousands of old members
to return and engage in the great
work of upbuilding their grand or
ganization which has for its object
the promotion of every interest of
the wealth producers of the country
We hope to give our readers in
other States cheering news regu-
larly from their brethren in Gcoro,a
and Alabama.

sire to see them educated and pro-
tected in all their civil rights. Con-
Oince the Northern people of tins
fact, and the last vestige q sectional
prejudice 7OiH vanish from tier
minds. Our Order has already ac-
complished more in allaying sec.
tional strife, harmonizing estranged
feelings, and enabling the people OF
the North and South to better
know and understand each other,
than all other influences combined.
The importance of this work should
be urged upon every Subordinate
Grange, and our membership eau
toned not to allow the excitement
of this political campaign to inter
fere with the good work, harmony,
and reviving prosperity of our
great Fraternity.

risons, and Smiths and Wilson's,
and Williams, and Roses, wher-
ever and when ever they ap-
pear with the Grange banner up
lifted, and give them an earnest, en-
thusiastic support. No obstacle
should prevent any true Patron and
intelligent farmer from attending an
appointment of a Grange leader,
whether he be the Master of a State
Grange or the Deputy of county.
With such a spirit animating all
who are patriotic and intelligent,
the efforts our leaders are now max
ing would result in the complete
success of the Grange-the noblest
organization of the age-making it
in truth representative of the
numbers, the spirit and the intelli-
gence of the farmers of America.

why?

1t is easy TO ask, "Why don't the
Order do better in some counties?"
Seek for answer near home. The
best way is to let the answer take
care of itself and work to make the
Grange success, just as you work
to make success of any thing you
undertake. Work. earnestly, with
system, early and late. ALL WORK!
Men and women, officers and mem
bers, all join in putting forward ev
cry available effort. Each in the
right time and place work for the
good of all, the Order and its princi
piles, and each one. will, in the end.
work for himself, his family, his
calling, and his country. And when
you have thus worked and been
successful, you will have no occasion
to ask "Why?" but plenty of data
for the answer.-Grange Tisieoy.

great success attending efforts al
cooperation in that portion of the
State.
A few years ago, four progressive
Oranges formed what is known as
Broad River Association. Since
then they have held three quarterly
and one known as their annual
meeting. On the 2Ist and 22d of
July they held their annual meeting
and thirteen lfVe 4Vorking Oranges
were represented, and nearly two
thousand visitors present.
These earnest Patrons have made
the Grange success. What's the
result? Farmers all around are en-
quiring, "What shall l do to be-
come a Granger"

Worthy Master WooIma.,

The excellent letter of WORTHY
Master ] !. Woodman of the
National Grange, which we print
on this page, will attract at
tention, and its patriotic senti.
ments will touch responsive chords
in the hearts of our people. All
the teachings of the Grange and
all its principles tend to the promo.
ton of peace and prosperity in this
sorely afflicted land, and the great
object of our Grange leaders has
been and still is to "pour oil upon
the troubled waters" to give form
and force to the sentiment that in
our public affairs there should be
no North, no South, no East, no
We I. Can an organization with
purposes and influences so grand
and patriotic, die premature
death? No, it can not be! The law
yer, the politician, the merchant and
the capitalist may proclaim that the
Grange is dead! and the silly boast
may he re-eehood by the political
press from one end of the land to
the other, but as long as it has
leaders like Woodman and Darden,
who so well represent the courage,
the fidelity and the patriotism of
our officials in every State, the
Grange will not only live, but its
force and influence will be seen and
felt IN every community and in
every department of life on Ameri-
can soil. The leaders of the Grange
were never more active, never more
IN earnest, and their efforts were
never more effective. The future is
full of promise.

The Grange aud Politics.

A great cry is raised by I

State and general government Is
the Patrons and working men Q
ganize political party, and dePH'
them of power. This is all a bu.
bear, to blind the foolish and bid
the chains they are putting on ID
limbs of the laboring men, in ordt
to hold power, and place upont the
necks great burdens in the shape
railroad taxes, government subslds
and everything else which 60

tors in our country.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-08-14

The farmers of this country have
no right to complain now if they
suffer from the expressions of othe,
classes. They have an organization
of their our which meets most com
pletely all the essential requirements
for united action in business and
political affairs; for the improve
ment of every branch of home in
dustry, the cultivation of the social
relations, the elevation of them
selves and the education of their
children. There is absolutely moth
ing lacking to make the Grange
thoroughly efficient for all these
purposes, but the intelligence to
comprehend its great necessity and
its purposes, and the will to sup
port and sustain it.
1t is true the ignorance which
prevails among the farmers is ap.
palling, but there are enough in
telligent farmers in every commu
nifty who understand what the
Grange is and what it can be made
as great protective and educational
organization, to remove this ignor.
ance If they have the patriotism and
the spirit to do it. This is the
great work to be accomplished
tor the intelligent to enlighten the
ignorant, to show how they are
robbed and oppressed by other
classes through the power of organ
ization; that organization must be
met by organization, and that every
principle and purpose of the Grange
aims to elevate them to higher man
hood and womanhood. This light
is within the reach of all-and the
farmer who can spread it among
his less fortunate neighbors and
will not, is criminally blind to his
own pest interests.
There are many noble farmers at
the head of our National, State
County and Subordinate oreaniza-
tons who are laboring with great
zeal, undergoing privations and
hardships, to spread the light of
this grand movement among the
masses, and they are prompted to
do this work by the noblest mo-
tlves-love of country, sympathy
with oppressed humanity, and
hatred of tyranny and injustice.
But while there are thousands of
farmers earnestly and patriotically
at work to consolidate the STRENGTH
OF their class and direct it into
channels that will bring them pow
er, independence and intelligence
there are other thousands equally
intelligent, but selfish and unpatri-
otto, arrayed against them and Cd.
posing this grand organization more
bitterly than do its national enemies
the merchant, the lawyer politician
and the capitalist. These farmers
who oppose the Grange have bust
ness or personal relations in the
towns or cities that make it to their
narrow interests to keep the farm
ers ignorant and disorganized, that
they may be the more easily con-
they may be robbed of
the proceeds of their toll and voted
at elections as SO many negroes.
With SO many obstacles in the
way the great body of farmers WI
ire true to their interests and COM
'etent to understand them, should
