The clement Attachment.

All over the Cotton States farm
ers are either putting up Clement
Attachment cotton factories or TAX
ing steps to establish them. The
capacity of the Attachment to do
all that has been claimed for it is so
fully established and so we'll known,
that all doubt on that point has
been removed, and the profits Of
the new system are so large that it
is only a question of time when it
will be in practical operation in
every neighborhood in the Cotton
States.
County and individual rights
have been bought up in large num-
bers during the past three months,
and the demand for the machinery
is so great that the leading manu-
factory in Pennsylvania is months
behind with its orders. Mr.. b. b.
Smith, of Tennessee, who has been
connected with the new system
since the invention of the Attach
ment and who himself invented one
of its most important features, visit
ed several large cotton spinning ma
chinery manufactures at the North
for the purpose of procuring second
Land machinery for a "new pro-
cess" factory to be established in
Smith county, Texas, was unable
to find any, and his company will
have to get first-class machinery
entirely.
We have been written to several
times recently as to the price OF
machinery, etc., for small factory,
say of one card and Attachment.
The estimate, when prices were
lower than now, was for new ma
chinery, about S., 500; and for three
cards and Attachments, $4,000.

We have received several excel
lent letters IN regard to the Presi-
DENTAL canvass. some for and some
opposed to the Democratic ticket.
We think it best not to engage in
this canvass with our journal, and
we earnestly urge the farmers, while
watching the movements of polit-
ical parties closely and intelligently,
not to permit the politicians to hurry
them into an excited participation
OF the canvass. The politicians and
the political press always seek to
excite the people and so distract
them that they can manage them
like the carpet-baggers managed
the negroes, and to keep themselves
prominent, by which they will take
the credit of winning the election
all to themselves.
We frankly confess that we
should have preferred the nomina-
ton of Senator Thurman of Ohio,
and that the platform of the Demo
cratic party is not to our liking, nor
is the Greenback platform much
more so. We must look at the
facts as they exist, and this is what
the people of the South will see and
do: that the election Of Garfield
would be a greater calamity to the
South than was that of Grant in
1868, and that to defeat him, the
Democratic masses, including many
of the ablest and most influential
Greenback leaders in the North,
will concentrate upon Gen. Han
cock. We mention two conspicu-
Gus instances of Greenback leaders
that take this view-that of General
Carey of Ohio, and the New Haven
Union, the leading Greenback news
paper of New England. They
both support Hancock.
The great object of the farmers
and laboring men should now
be TO elect good and reliable men
Of their class to State Legislatures
and Congress. They can not COM
mence this work too soon, but to
draw their attention from such i'm
poi tant matters, the politicians will
do their utmost to get up the eX-
citement that has SO long disgraced
our Presidential contests.

The members of the Order are
forming Cooperative Associations
all over the country. The success
that has attended the stores that
were established on the true plan as
recommended by the National
Grange, has fully established public
confidence in the new system, and it
is making such rapid progress that
itmay be safely predicted that within
five years the farmers of this country
will transact all their business on
that system. The Grange has been
greatly benefited by the success of
CO cooperation; indeed, the remarka-
bic revival in the Order now in
progress throughout the country is
attributable, in a great degree, to
the influence of cooperation in bu-
siness affairs.
We notice that quite a number
of Cooperative Associations are
being organized in Alabama, Ten
nessee and this State. We would
suggest to them that they can OBJ
tain all information needed by COM
municating with Bro. t. J. Carver,
the General Manager Of the South
western Cooperative Association
at New Orleans.

Farmers and Politics.

The agricultural journals all over
the country are failing into line on
the duty of farmers to give more at
tention and assume the lead in
shaping the government of the
country, in making the laws, ex-
pending the taxes and making ap-
preparations for agricultural pur-
poses. Under the above head the
Southern Enterprise, published re-
Gently the following very common
sense article:
What have farmers to do with
politics? The trouble is, reader,
that they do not manifest sufficient
interest in political affairs 1--WE do
not mean mere party contests to in
form themselves as to the merits of
questions of most vital importance
to themselves as producers, and to
the commonwealth, the government
of which they mainly support. Be
cause of this indifference, they are
constantly used by designing men to
further their personal, ambitious
schemes. What class of citizens can
possibly have deeper interest in
good government than the owners
of the soil and the producers of
wealth?
The politics of' the present day
have degenerated into a mere per-
sonal contest for office, in which
certain presumptuous individuals as
sumo to claim as a right, their own
elevation at the hands of the people
who have acquired the habit of
tamely surrendering their high SOW
ereign right to choose their servants,
and of allowing ambitious office
seekers, at it were, to force them
selves upon them. How rarely do
the people make voluntary selec-
ton of their preventative whether
for the state or national assembly, or
for the gubernatorial chair? Too
often the choice is limited to the Sc
lection from the number of those
who have the presumption to claim
the right to serve the people and
not from those who are best fitted

qualifications to execute the will and
promote the best interest of the peo
pie whose servants they are.
Who are responsible for this state
of affairs, the voters or the candi.
dates? We say most emphatically
the voters who fail to exercise the
the royal prerogative of selecting
not their rulers-but their servants
according to the theory of our gov.
ernment, which was instituted BY
the people, for the people, and no
for the benefit of those whom they
see fit to compliment with officia

MISSOURI STATE GRANGE.
I take it for granted that the read
er of this article has read the speech
delivered in Congress upon agricul
ture, by a professional member of
that body, as given in these columns
last week.
Let us now take a common sense
view of the matter and consider it for
few minuets. 1t must be admitted
that agriculture is the all-important
interest of the this country. All
other enterprises are more or less
dependent upon agriculture for sup
port, directly and indirectly. There
isIgreat necessity, then, for providing
literally for the encouragement and
advancement of the agricultural
interests, so that all others may also
be made prosperous. This would
give us national prosperity, and
make US happy people. 1t would
be but reasonable to suppose that an
individual, with sufficient brain to
find his way to Congress without
a guide, must realize these facts, and
if so, if honest, would labor for the
advancement and protection of that
interest which is the basis o. all our
prosperity and greatness. But evi-
IDENTIFY this is not so. Take, as an IL
lustration, the speech delivered in
Congress, as published last week
|
the interests of the nation, this gen.
tleman,in his remarks upon the floor
of Congress, ridiculed agriculture
and its department, and the agricul.
tural report ofthe country, as though
they were beneath the notice ot
Congress, thereby exposing his own
ignorance and offering an insult to
every tiller of the soil. This show:
very clearly why it is that agricul
ture has been neglected, and why
legislation has Disseminated agains
its interests.
Perhaps should not say anything
harsh against this member, becaus.
he claims to be gentlement of The
legal profession. He is "a lawyer,
a professional politician, partisan
hummer and perhaps the display o
his oratorical powers upon that oc
casion was made for a snug little
fee, from some corposation who des
ire to ignore agriculture and make i
appear Insignificant in the eyes o
the average Congressman, SO as t'
obtain still greater dissemination b,
Congressional legislation. Anothe
idea might have been that this mem

The letters of our correspondents
presents a most cheering and en-
couraging view of the prospects of
lhe Order throughout the South.
Dormant Grange are reorganizing
every where, and the live Oranges
are steadily increasing in numbers
and strength, and of course in capac-
ity for effective work. In every
otate there are scores of County
and District Deputy Lecturers, earn
eSt Patrons and capable officers,
ScuVely at work, reorganizing
oranges and encouraging the live
oHes to continued effort. These
earnest workers will now have the
assistance of the Masters of State
oranges, some of whom are already
III The held and others preparing to
enter. The work of the next two
'ionthS will be more effective in
uPoulIding the Grange in the South,
Juan that of any six months during
'he past five years.

amount as the first year, receive 30
cents interest on his stock, and full
dividend of $40 instead Of S., as the
first year; or, in other words he has
bought his goods at his own store
inst as cheap as he could have
bought them anywhere else, and has
the profit that has been made on his
trade accruing to his own credit,
where it rightly belongs, instead of
its going into some other ones
pocket.
MANNER OF DOING BUSINESS.
Be it understood that all goods are
bought and sold for cash or ready
pay, and at the same prices as other
dealers sell the same goods.
NOT AN UNTRIED EXPERIMENT.
To show that this is not an untried
experiment we call your attention to
the fact that it has been carried on
in England successfully during the
past thirty five years, where it was
commenced with a capital of less
than five pounds sterling, and to-day
has accumulated to millions. Also
that there are within twenty miles
Of this place two other cooperative
store in successful operation. One
of them commenced business three
years ago with $500 capital, and
now it has accumulated to $4,000,
or, in other words, $500 has made
$I,4oo.
A WRONG IMPRESSION.
There is an impression that this
store is for the benefit of Grangers
only. Such is not the case. While
it was started by Grangers its doors
are open to every body, thus practi-
eally carrying out a.r- principles of
'The greatest good to the greatest
number"

the principle advocated by the par
ty, represent the true interests of the
the productive industries of the
country, state or county. If it were
convenient for the whole people to
meet en- maSSe and enact laws for
their own government, they would
be competent to do SO, but, this be-
ing mpracticable, they select rep
resentatives who who are theoreti-
cally the eXponents of their wishes.
But how are these wishes to be
known by the representatives unless
they are expressed? When a far
mer wishes to employ a laborer to
do certain work. he makes diligent
enquiry for one who is qualified to
preform the service disired, and be-
fore employing him explains what he
wants done. The laborer accepts the
proposition with the tacit or explicit
understanding that he is TO execute
the will of his employer. Suppose,
however, the farmer send the labor
er to the field without any intima-
ton as to what he wished done,
would he have a right to complain
if his wishes, never expressed,
were not executed? We think not.
Neither have farmers the right to
complain of representatives who fail
to carry out their wishes never made
known. Assemble in primary meet
ing from time to time, freely discuss
measures of public policy, express
your wishes to whom you propose
to delegate authority to represent
you in the government, the best citi-
zen who can be induced to conde-
scend to serve you. If such a one
has served you faithfully in the past,
don't thyo5V him aside because some
one oUer the creek or in the ubber or
lozVer end of the county claims the
right TO se,'Oe you.
This is a year of elections, which
are necessary evils in our form of
government. On the wisdom exer-
cised by the voters of Georgia in the
election of various grades of officers
will depend, to a large extent, the
prosperity of the state for the next
two years.

At the last meeting of the Exec
utive Committee of the Kentucky
State Grange Bro. A. B. Smith, the
Worthy Master of the State Grange,
was requested to take the field for
active service; and as he receives
no salary the Oranges visited are
called upon to help bear his ex-
penses. We know Bro. Smith to
have the good of the Order at
heart, and we hope to hear that he
is kept actively at work. The Pa

teaches just the reverse. The most

have been sown in Georgia tor
