The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-08-28

Our columns to-day are teeming
with stirring letters from earnest,
thinking ADMINISTRATIONS who un-
derstand and appreciate the great
worth of the Grange, and are willing
to sustain it by the needed expen-
diture of labor and money. These
letters indicate the spirit of the lead
ing members of Subordinate Gran
ges, and show how deeply rooted
the Grange has become in the affec-
tons of those that have "kept the
faith The best work that THE
PATRON is doing is the publication
OF letters from its correspondents
the laborers in the feld-for in this
way it has given to the world EEK
pressions of the sentiments and spi-
rit of the masses that otherwise
would have been unheard and un-
known. The earnest efforts that
Oranges here and there have put
forth and the success that has at
tended them, have been published in
our columns, and the "glad tidings
have gone forth upon their mission
of encouragement to all parts of the
country, awakening hopes and slim
ulating to renewed effort It is as
medium of communication between
the leading minds-the bold, ear
ness, patriotic, thinking members of
the Order, that Grange journal is
most valuable, and we point with
pride to the lofty spirit of patriotism
and intelligence that pervades and
marks the letters of CORRESPONDENTS
that appear in our columns.

Happy Omens.

From all parts of the Republic
east of the Rocky Mountains, espe-
cially in the Western and Southern
States, there are unmistakable signs
of new awakening of the Farmers
great Order. The great State of
Iowa, which for some years has not
been in good standing in the Ma
tional Grange, has paid UP her back
dues and wheeled in line with the
recognizing forces, which every
where are moving to the front. The
Mississippi PATRON OF HUSBAND
RY, the official journal of the Order
for Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi and Tennessee, speaks
encouragingly of the good work be-
ing done in the States named. The
officers of the several State Oranges
are active and earnest, with cheer
ing prospect of laying the founda-
ton of Grange growth more
healthy and permanent than any
which has ever preceded it. r'
Such are the happy omens that
reach us from every quarter. In our
own State ofPennsylvania we have
no discouragements to advance, but,
on the contrary, the most assuring
intelligence of renewed faith in the
principles of our great and good
Order. Likewise have we the most
cheering indications of Grange
growth in West Virginia, New er-
sey, Maryland and Delaware, in
which States the Farmers Friend
is widely circulated t-.~,r
From the Pacific Slope the indica-
tons are none the less encouraging.
Grange enthusiasm is spreading and
rekindling the flames Of Fidelity to
an organization that has been con-
ceived in good faith for the emanci-
patton of the farmer from the tyr
amy and oppression of monopolists
Then hold fast, brethren By these
happy omens you should allow
yourselves to be guided for the in
culcation Of a stronger faith in the
triumph of Grange principles. The
good fight goes bravely on. The
victory willbe won.-PenusyiOanfa

Cotton NHanufacture.

That the cotton grown in the Cot
ton States will in a few years be
converted into yarns, cloth and rope
within sight of the fields, we have
not the shadow of doubt The
start already made in that direction,
will move forward with increasing
momentum, and in few years but a
comparatively small portion of the
crop will be shipped in the raw
form to distant factories. Nor is the
change in the location of the facto-
ries any more certain to occur than
the change in the system. The cold
process" system is SO cumbersome
and expensive, and the quality of its
work SO inferior to that of the ''new
process" or Clement Attachment
system, that it must inevitably give
way to the latter. There is no doubt
of this; not any more, indeed, than
that the old stage coaches vanished
on the appearance of the iron horse.
Where is the sense of retaining a
cotton factory system that is expen-
sive, and inferior to one that is SO
cheap that any neighborhood pro-
ducing two hundred bales can put
up and SO simple that any one
of ordinary intelligence can operate
with great profit? The ordinary
mind will not be slow to see and
understand the vast difference be-
tween factories so cumbersive and
expensive that only rich corpora
tions can establish and operate, and
those that do away with so much
machinery and buildings, that re-
quire few hands to operate, make a
far better thread, and discharge an
immense army of middlemen who
are now living upon the labor of
the producers.
The movement to establish "new
process" factories has commenced
in earnest. Those in operation in
North and South Carolina and
Georgia are giving the most perfec'
satisfaction. paying from IS to 4c
per cent net profit; and others are
| in course of erectionsin other States
In less than five years these little fac
tories will be in operation in alnos
every neighborhood in the Cottor
| States.

The ROchdaIe Plan.

This plan of cooperation, in
brief, consists in any number of
persons becoming stockholders of
an association, $5 being the smallest
sum allowed to admit one to the
benefits of the organization. When
a sufficient amount shall have been
subscribed and paid, as in our judg-
ment will justify beginning, the
shareholders elect directors, who
arrange with some shareholder to
operate the store, buying and sell
ing such goods as they deem most
advantageous. The plan is to sell
goods at usual prices, to everybody,
and at the close of the month, or at
the end of the three months which
is most commonly the rule) an &C
count of stock is taken, the result
ascertained, and dividend declared
(if profits have accrued:)

portion to the goods he has pur-
chased. Cs sf vi7wI b9br2t

portion to his stock, out of the gen

amount of $40, and trade during the
quarter to the amount of $50, and
the net profit on my trade is 10 per

eral business be 10 per cent, then l
receive 10 per cent, or if it be deter
mined to set aside S per cent of the
net profits of the general business
to increase the capital, then l only
receive 5 per cent. 9i3 20 ~. 7hi
The cooperative stores sell pro-
duce as well as buy. If A has 20
lbs. of butter, and the store takes it
at the usual price, if profit accrues
from the sale of it, then it goes into
the general account, and each share
holder gets his proportion of profit.
Cooperative stores are becoming
numerous and successful, as far as
heard from. The amount necessary
to commence business, depends on
the locality In some instances
$500 would enable neighborhood
to commence a little store, while
other localities would require
$1,000, and to keep general assort-
ment, several thousand.
But the transactions should be
confined strictly to cash basis-'buy
and sell for cash only.

The Southwestern Cooperative
Association

This Association occupies a posi-
ton in the Southwest that is at
tracing the attention of farmers and
Cooperative Associations from
Florida to Texas and from Ohio to
Iowa. 1t meets exactly the de-
mands of all who desire to purchase
supplies and sell their produce on
the cooperative plan and who find
New Orleans their most convenient
trading point, and this is the case
with farmers and Cooperative AS
sociations throughout the great
Mississippi Valley.
The affairs of the Southwestern
Association have been SO ably
managed by Bro. T. ]. Carver, that
it has become fully established in
the confidence of those who deal
with it, and this confidence is rap
idly widening. The indications
now are that the business of the
Association next season will more
chan double that of the last. Ard
this will be good news for the far
mer, for the success of the co-opea-
tive system, at a great centre like
New Orleans, means success in the
counties aud neighborhoods, and
the saving to the farmers of i'm
mense sums. .
In our next issue we will give a
more extended notice of this great
cooperative organization, which
was organized by members of the
Grange and is conducted in the in
terests of Patrons and farmers gen
orally. When the farmers become
fully informed of the system apon
which the Southwestern Cooper
ative Association is conducted, they
will concentrate their business
upon it.

The Texas Cooperative Assecia-


At the recent annual meeting of
this Association the following Off
GERS were elected, every one of
whom is true Patron and well
qualified for his important duties.
Any Organization under the control
of such men would be worthy of
and would receive the confidence of
the farmers of Texas:
]. w. Clark, President Moffatt, Bell
county;
L. Moore, Treasurer, Florence, Will
hanson county;
a. J. Rose, Secretary, Salado, Bell
county;
J. S. Rogers, Agent, Galveston.
The following are the members
Of the Board of Directors:
]. w. Clark, Moffatt, Bell county;
A. F. league, Giddings, Lee county;
A. !. Rose, Salado, Bell county;
G. w. Everett, Cotton Gin, Freestone

F. S. Wade, McDade, Bastrop county;
w. NJ. Ferguson, Rockdale, Milan CO.
r. E. Steel, Cotton Gin, Freestone CO.
The reports of the officers made a
good showing of the work of the
Agency at Galveston, and the indi-
cations point to an immense business
during the coming season.

From the above the farmer can
form some idea of the fiery ordeal
through which he passes when
dealing with the mistle.oes of hu-
man society.
In view of these figures might
not O. H. Kelley and his associates
cry out Eureka! Excelsior!" when
he'conceived'the idea of the farmers
organization in the Grange for mu-
tual protection?
And may the influences of that
Order never be lost on our race; if
it does, the requiem of civil liberty
for the masses will be sung in this
country.
May the motto of our Order be,
"LET THE PROSPERITY OF THE
PEOPLE BE THE SUPREME LAW,

among us, because there was no
affinity between us. And we must
needs have fellowship one with an.
other, is the law of heaven.
In the next place, how to keep,
these "Ieuorant farmers" out of
OUR legislative assemblies? It can
be done by the INTELLIGENT FAR
MERs, who till the soil, bining
and acting in concert against COM
mon foe, and remember that Hamil-
car caused Hannibal to swear eter-
nal enmity against the Romans as
their inveterate enemy. Then go
and do likewise.
The readers of THE PATRON OF
HUsBANDRY will remember that in
the issue of July 2o, 1879, there was
suggestion made that the oppress-
ions of the laborer from the COM
mission merchants ought to receive
attention at our hands.
Let me give some few figures of
case now pending in the Chancery
Court of Memphis to show the wis
dom of this suggestion. A firm in
Memphis sued farmer for 81
1911, and by the decree of the
Court the claim was reduced to
$I,o5o.25, or "a per cent.
Now, can any farmer pay "a per
cent on his purchases, and not be-
come bankrupt? and when, too, it
is estimated that his income on his
capital invested is not more than
81 per centum?
Let us see a few of the many
items on which this interest was
charged;

Nothing stops the indefatigable
leader of the Grange of this State.
Though the weather has often been
inclement and some times but few
farmers turn out, Worthy Master
Darden meets every appointment
promptly and makes a strong, stir
ing speech. In Lafayette county
he addressed an immense crowd on
Tuesday, and hurried off to fill an
appointment the next day thirty
miles distant. This noble leader is
always ready for work, and he al
ways works well, whether among
the Oranges as an organizer and
public speaker, in the State Grange
as presiding officer, or as a dele
gate in the National Grange. In
all these useful and exalted positions
he displays high capacity and a
DEVOTION to the interests of his class
that nottingham change or dampen.
With such a leader, the Grange in
Mississippi must progress, and the
farmers, as they learn to appreciate
hun and his patriotic service, will
rally around him as one man and
sustain him earnestly and enthusias-
tcally in his great work.

1t appears that the coming of Mr..
Thomas Hughes, M. P, of England,
to this country means music in the
air for the retail grocers, as it is Mr..
Hughes idea to introduce the sys-
tenn of cooperative stores" which
has been a fair success in England
and which has not unnaturally had
the effect of keeping the British re-
tail tradesman in a state of chronic
discomfort. There is no reason,
however, why any legitimate trades
man in this country should dread
the competition of cooperative
stores, or any other form or method
of dealing, SO long as it enjoys only
equality under the law. As a mat
ter of fact, however, the conditions
of retail trade in this country are
very different from those existing
in England, and there are very few
localities where the English plan
would be worth trying,-.I. Louis
Globe Democrat.
The English Cooperative plan
was recommended by the National
Grange, and has been adopted in
hundreds of places throughout this
country with marked success. 1t is
gaining the attention of farmers
every where, and its general adop-
ton by the farmers and other work
ing classes of this country is but I
question of time.
