TO Our Friends and Patrons I'm
Texas.

You have Central Association at
Galveston and ours in New Orleans
bids her God speed-and it will no
doubt become a great power for
good. But as trade seeks its natu-
raj level, business from many por-
tions of your State will come to
New Orleans, especially now that
we are connected by rail.
To al! such we say, you will find
it to your interest to do business
with us,-and we will of course con-
tinue to give the best attention in
our power.

To eur Patrons in Tennessee.

Our business in your State is rap
idly improving-and we hope to see
a large increase. Jackson is good
distributing point to establish Cen
trail Association-and should supply
oiher Associations within an area of
many miles. 1t will not be many
years before Cooperation will OBJ
tain in various portions of the State
at least we believe so.

To the Members of the Granoe in
Texas. Hon. w. w. Lang having
resigned his position as Master, the
constitution places the duties of the
office upon the Overseer until the
next annual meeting of the State
Grange. In entering upon the dis
charge Of the important duties of
the position, l assure you that | am
fully aware of the great responsible
ity that will devolve upon me, and
that without your cooperation, l
can do but little; but with it, much
and lasting good may be done Shall
/ have that cooperation? l feel
warranted IN answering in the affir-
native. There never has been a pc
riod in our history when we needed
more a united effort than now.
assure you that I will leave nothing
undOne to promote the interests OF
our noble Order, and that I will ever
be found battling for those who by
their toll feed the world.
1t is of great importance to the
progress of the Order that we have
an active, earnest Deputy in eacf
Senatorial District in the State fo
the purpose of organizing Oranges
reviving dormant ones, and t.
canvass every part of their Districts
BY good and thorough work, ou
membership could be doubled in les
than twelve months and our activ
workers increased four fold. I there
fore ask that each active Deputy re
port to me at This earliest convent
ence the condition of the Order i
his District, and those who find tha
they cannot perform the duties G

counties or districts where there
no Deputy at work, l ask tha

no time to lose. Fraternally.

Merchants in towns where Co
operative Associations have been
established, tnreaten farmers that
they will not buy their cotton if they
trade with these Associations Now
the truth is they cannot buy cotton
from those who give them no trade,
they will lose money by it, and this
is proof positive that they make
their profits on the goods they sell,
and not on the cotton they 6uy-and
yet many farmers believe they can
do as well by selling their cotton at
home and buying their supplies at
the country towns. You will save
money by buying your supplies
through the Southwestern, and ship
ping your cotton to the same.

To Our Patrons in Louisiana.

We have had many compliments
from you, as well as other States,
for our management of your bust
ness. The same care shall be con-
tinued by us. We hope you may
be able to send delegates from fifteen
Oranges to the State Grange the
next year. If you do, it will be the
beginning of great things for Loui-
siana Patrons. Marx the prediction.

operative hands. He not only gets
as much in return for his product;
but in buying and in selling he re-
ceives III addition dividend. Not
only so, but he becomes a part and
parcel of the system; his help may
not be much, but 1t constitutes a
brick in the great pyramid; Not
only SO he is no longer an. obscure
brother he is known to the great
brotherhood and constitutes a part
of that tremendous force, that says
to the great money power, "thus
far shalt thou go and no further,
and here shalt thy proud waves be
STAYED" He may be as one of the
insects, that helps to build the coral,
but great reefs in time appear above
the waters, against which the ocean
beats out its rage in vain. More

and thereby throbs in his heart a
sentiment, a power, that sends its
pulsations to distant States and
throughout the continent.

Less than fifty years ago, a few
women in Boston said, Slavery

a few years they had no hearing,

But finally tracts were resorted to
and slipped under the doors and
they were read by the children
great pictures of big wagon, with
thirty bales of cotton, drawn by as
many negroes, driven to town under

Something About Cooperation.


A personal friend said to another
he liked the General M Manager, and
would send him cotton, but he
could do as we'll at his depot. Con-
ceding now for the sake of argu-
ment that this is true. Let such
friends stop and consider what they
are doing. Are they not, through
the smaller merchants, helping to
build up the great mOnopoliesp Look
at the great forces now at work,
absorbing the profits of the wealth
producers. A half dozen men con
troll the railroads of this continent,
a few men the telegraphic system.
By combination the great Cotton
Exchanges of New York price
your cotton, through the Cotton
Exchanges, the Merchants Cham
bers of Commerce and other COM
binations, all these great forces
operate in their ozvn interests.
Combinations, and associated eff
fort is the legitimate and necessary
development or out-cropping of the
nineteenth century,-of steam, cleo
tricity, etc. Hence these giant mo-
nopolies.
The National Grange, viewing
this condition of things, in their
wisdom, pointed out and recon-
mended for its adoption one of the
wisest schemes of combination, one
of the most potential for good to
our Order ever devised, to-wit: the
Rochdale Plan Of Cooperation,
scheme not only wise, but embody-
ing the very essence of justice and
equity to all, and harm to none.
Look at the skeleton of the plan.
1t is to establish by the Patrons of
Husbandry great mercantile Co.
operative Associations in all the
great centres of trade; it is to plant
them in New York along side of
the great monopolies in that city;
and in like manner in all the other
large cities. 1t is to establish them
in every State and in every county,
and a sufficient number in each
county to operate and transact our
own business in our own way. This
system, like the human body, has
its Parts, and like the human BODY
is ONE and INDIvIsIBLE. When it
reaches. its full development and is
fully rounded and completed, it will
send thrill of joy through millions
of hearts. In the completion of this
great building every Patron, con-
stitutes an important factor.
Now let us see how it works.
Here is my friend who looks simply
to single transactions and as he
supposes to his own interest-goes
to the local market, looks out for a
bargain, lends willing ear to the
merchant, pays the merchant his
profit, goes home and that is the
end of it. In business he is an iso
lated man. He fails to comprehend
that his class, constitutes a great bu-
siness brotherhood, who propose by
the Cooperative system ultimately
to control all their own products
until they reach final hands.

operates, has, say, only one bale of

A BAD STORY FROM NEW BRUNSWICK.

A neat robbery is reported from Mas
siilon, Ohio, a passenger on the Pitts
burgh, TT. Wayne and Chicago road,
having his coat cut open while he was
asleep and S7S5 in greenbacks taken
FROM an inside pocket. A sudden de-
scent by the Columbus police on well
known poker room resulted in the ar
rest OF about fifty prominent citizens,
and the capture of a large amount OF
gambling paraphernalia. The affair
caused great excitement. Yesterday
was bad day for freight trains, no less
than four wrecks being reported. For
tunately they were attended with no
loss OF life. Stephen Richards (colored)
was hanged at Wilmington, n. c., for
the murder OF his mother.in-law. A
most horrible death was that OF James
McCrotter, of Cincinnati, who fell down
an elevator well sixty feet in depth, and
was impaled ona hook. Serious charges
are made against the officials OF the st.
Johns, n. B., lunatic asylum. Other
matters OF interest are presented.

WASHINGTON.
The Kind Of Stuff Radical Re-
pOrters Dish Up Regarding the
Census.

SenSuSs
WASHINGTON, September SIN the
last week or two any number OF false
and erroneous statements have been
made as to the South Carolina census.
One is that an enumerator in that State
has requested the return OF his list for
correction, as two hundred names had
been put on in error Nosuch request
has been received. Another statement
is that the force OF the census bureau ia
worked at night to expediate the copy
ing OF the South Carolina enumera.
tors lists. A portion OF the force
has been working at night over the
pay accounts of the enumerators, as
they have been pressing for their mon.
ey. A great deal of balderdash has
been written about the census in South
Carolina, for no o'her purpose than for
political effect, and prominent Republi-
can politicians here openly aver that
they do not intend to reat Aniil
new census is ordered Before the
President left Washington General
Walker had several interviews with him
in regard to the allegations OF fraudulent
enumeration in South Carolina. The
President saw no reason why anew emu
meration should he ordered, nor did
Gen. Walker, although il was left dis
cretionary with Gen. Walker to order
new enumeration il any subsequent
facts should be brought to hiE attention
which would seem to justify it. Up to
this date no such facts have appeared
Notwithstanding this, it is freely as.
serted, as above stated, that new emu
meration will be ordered, and that il
the superintendent of the census will
not do it of his own accord, he will be
instructed to that effect by the Secre-
tary of the Interior, who by law has
supervisory power in the matter.
Whether Mr.. Schurz will lend himself
to such a scheme may be doubted.

amount of the precious metals used by
them. Upon the replies will be based

iactures in the United States. This
will be published in the Directors annu.
