FROM GEORGIA
ELBERT COUNTY,


Editor Patron i inclose price of sub
scripfion for The PATRoN. received
some extra copies from you lately, which
I distributed among the members of my
Grange, and hope to make up a club. |
wish every member Of our Order would
subscribe for and read Tue PATRON IF
they would, they would rise up and shake
off all apathy and indifference. The cop
les you sent me aroused a new spirit in
me; though was strong advocate Of the
Order before read them, am now ear
nest, enthusiastic and hopeful. handed
some of the copies to members of our
Grange who had been dropped for non
payment of dues, and at our last meeting
they came back, paid up their dues, reuni-
ted themselves with the Grange, and are
now active, earnest members again.
am happy to inform you that the
Grange is reviving in this part of the
country, and The outlook is good in all
parts of the State, as far as ! am able to
learn, especially where THE PATRON cir
culates. There is general effort being
made by the live Oranges to revive and
reorganize all the dormant Oranges and
reclaim all the members of the living
Oranges who have been dropped for non
payment of dues, and a strong determine
ton to keep the ball rolling until it shall
gather every true farmer in Georgia
into one common brotherhood, SO that
we can cooperate and work together
for our mutual benefit and well
fare. Nothing short of this will ever
place the tillers of the soil upon an equal
footing with other professions, and no or
ganization ever instituted by man is as
well adapted to unite the farmers as the
Order of the Patrons of Husbandry.
Go ahead in your noble work advoca-
ting the principles of our Order, and may
God spare you to see the day when the
farmers of this great country shall be like
the horses in Pharoahs chariot, all pulling
the same way-all united and working to-
gether for each others benefit and protec-
ton. FraternaIIy, ]. d. Brown.

EVIL EFFECTS OF CHINESE M

WASHINGTON CITY, March z7.-Tb.
report of the Committee on the Denre,
sion of Labor, of which H. B. Wright of
Pennsylvania is chairman, has been sinh
mitted to the House. The report shows
that there are 10000 Cinnamon west Of
the Sierra Nevadas, besides from 1.soo 70
$500 Chinese women of the vilest char.
acter, who are slaves. These people-wbo
are nearly all coolies and practically be.
long to the Six Companies-pay less taxes
than the Chine criminal expenses
amount to, and send 100000 day.
100000 month, and 100000 a
year, to China. The money paid them in
thirty years, the Committee find, has
reached S6oo,ooo,ooo; and yet they buy
no land, and spend no money except fora
little coarse jood, because they get their
rice from China. The testimony shows
that they have ruined shoe making, shirt.
making, the manufacture of cigars, har.
ness, ETC., and have almost driven out Of
employment all white plasterers, miners
farm hands and other labofers. In fact
scarcely trade, an occupation or industry
has escaped the blight of their presence
and white men testify that they are be-
ing reduced to beggdry, and will have to
leave the Pacific Coast unless something
is speedily done by the Government
The report closes with a resolution that
the President be requested by Congress
to inform the Chinese Government thatit
is the desire of our Government to abro
gate and annul the clauses of the trea les
between the two countries which permit

The Grange has given a new dignity to
the position of the farmer. It has taught
him that he is no longer the one always to
work, but the one to be served. He COM
mands the situation. 1t has given him
new ideas of his independence, has the
more impressed upon his soul the truism
that the soil is the source of all wealth,
and that ia the prosecution of business
affairs others must depend more upon him
than he upon them. The very cause
which brought the Grange into existence,
and its rapid growth during the few years
of its life, are stronger proof than any
thing else can be of the necessity for its
organization. 1t has taken a firm hold
upon the affections of the people. 1t ben
etits them and thus benefits all. Narrow,
indeed, and ill-educated, must be the mind
and heart that does not extend to it a
hearty hand and wish it God speed and
good prosprity in its glorious mission

CAPITALS REPKESEN TATIVES
IN CONGRESS.

In
Congress has been so long under the
rule of Rings and Monopolies of every
kind that it has come to be looked upon
by its masters as body convened for the
purpose of executing their will, no matter
how. much that will may be in conflict
with the public good.
The representatives of banks, railroads
and other corporations, have for years
insolently dictated to it what it should do,
and it is humiliating confession to have
to make that in every case their dictation
has been submitted to. Taking a lesson
from the big Monopolists, the smaller fry
in the monopolistic fraternity are begin
ming to have tineirrepresentatives in Con-
gress to look after their interests.
Some Of these in disregard of all decen-
cy have, as members of committees, re-
ported and advocated measures in which
they are personally interested.
This they do notwithstanding the fact
that such practices arc in violation of all
parliamentary usage. JEFFERsoN's Man
ual, speaking. of bills in the passage of
which any member Of a committee is in
terested, says: g sza1ss - SezEs-
Where the private interests of men,
Der are concerned in a bill or question he
is to withdraw. And where such an in
terest has appeared, his voice has been
disallowed, even after a division. In
case SO contrary, not only to the laws of
decency, but to the fundamental prin CT
pie of the social compact, which denies to
any man to be Judge in his own cause,
it is to the honor of the House that this
rule of immemorial observance should be
strictly adhered to"
This rule is daily violated in a most
fragrant and indecent manner
The latest instance of its violation is
furnished by Congressman Miller, &C
New York, and RUSSELL of Mas..achu.

hundreds.of country newspapers, and to

In order to break up this combination
Congress has been asked to abolish the
duty on wood pulp, which largely enters
into the manufacture of paper When the
question of the abolition of the duty came
before the Committee of Ways and Means,
Miller and Russell, who are members of
this committee, not only did not withdraw,
as JEFFERsoN's Manual suggests, but
even had such little sense of what is due
to common decency as to threaten that if
an attempt was made to take off the duty
on wood pulp they would add on all sorts

legislation by proposing great many
