We will give our readers regularly
information of the progress of the
Presidential campaign. But we
earnestly urge the farmers not to
become excited. There is no occa-
sion for any excitement in the South,
but the politicians and the political
press will do their utmost to make
the campaign an exciting one, for
the double purpose of keeping
themselves prominent and prevent
ing the people from giving due
consideration to their ovr interests
Everything will be done to draw
off the attention of farmers from
the Grange, and unless the true
members are vigilant and active
our enemies will inflict serious in
jury upon our cause. Let mem
bers of the Order be cool and calm
in no event, permit the Presidential
campaign to draw their attention
from the Grange and the great work
that is before them. Patrons who
stand by the Grange, are working
for themselves and their families
they have quit working for tne

why Farmers Should he Ed.
neatelsa

Farmers often complain that their
interests are not fairly dealt with in
the laws passed by State legisla-
lures; and that where they form a
part of the Legislative body they are
over-reached by the lawyers. But
if the education of the farmers was
carried forward as it ought to be,
they would have the power which
larger knowledge is sure to carry
with it. When they learn to do
their own thinking and reasoning,
a measure of success will be assured
to greatly enhance the influence
they will unavoidably exert.
Or if we come down from the
halls of legislation to the sphere of
the day laborer, we shall still find
strong argument iii the higher
wages that are paid for the skilled
labor when brought into competi-
ton with unskilled. The skill is
generally proportional to the degree
of intelligence, and the intelligence
in proportion to the education. The
exceptions only prove the rule more
forcibly. From whatever point of
view we may look at the matter, it
stands out with more and more inn

The Presidential ticket nominated
by the Democratic National Con-
vention will give general satisfac-
ton to the people of the South, and
we regard its success as certainty.
General Hancock, the nominee for
President. and Mr.. English, of In
diana, for Vice President, are both
men of fine ability, and their public
and private characters are ire
proachable. The South will be
s'solid' for the ticket.
This ticket ought to have been
nominated by the Democratic Con-
vention at Baltimore in 1872. 1t
would undoubtedly have succeeded,
but the professional politicians
thought they could more certainly
secure the offices-and that was all
they were after-with Greeley as
the candidate, and they forced him
upon the people. Unfortunately,
the same politicians still control the
Democratic party, and when Han.
cock becomes President they will
have to be provided for. Notwith-
standing this blunder in 1872, which
cost the toiling millions of this coun-
try hundreds of millions of dollars,
these scheming politicians will be
the first to profit by change of
administration. The only chance
the people have to destroy the pow
er of the professional office seekers
is for them to fill Congress with
honest, fearless and capable farmers
and workingmen, who will cut
down all salaries. The salaries of
public officials ought not to be
greater than those that prevail
throughout the country. Clerks in
Washington City, often boys of fif-
teen, who work from three to six
hours day only, get more pay than
two farmers do who work ten hours.
With Hancock in the Presiden-
tial chair, and the toiling millions
fairly represented in Congress, our
country would enter upon career
of prosperity the grandest recorded
in history. But the professional
politicians must go. There can be
no peace and no prosperity as long
as they rule.

We give below All extract from a
spicy speech of Mr.. Phillips, of Mis-
souri,, on the equalization of burdens,
imposed by bills passed for the purl
pose Of raising revenue and the pro-
lection to homie industry, scaled:
1t is one of the noticeable features
of this controversy that the party in
this country which assumes to keep
abreast, ay, in the forefront Of all that
is progressive in government and
commerce-is the most tenacious of
system that is relic of barbarism,
and which found a footing in our
statute books on the plea of the
weakness and minority of the Re,
public The murmuring of the
masses against the systeta @or long
years was hushed with promises that
when the country grew out of its
pupilarge the burden would be re-
moved, But instead of the promised
withdrawalit is a striking illustration
of the Arabian fable of the camel
that appealed piteopsly to the Arab
reclining in his tent for permission
to insert only its head as, covert
from the blazing sun. When, he
got. his head in he squeezed in his
shoulders, and by and by his hump,
and finally he got in his body, and
forced the occupant entirely out.
The protected interests have
grown so rich and powerful that
they control the National Legisla-
ture, There has not been a day for
a century when the great body of
the American people drunk with
the excitement of civil strife and
party passion has not been opposed
to our protective tariff. But the
minority has dominated because.it

in favor of high tariff.

There will be large number of
Cooperative Associations organic
ed and stores established this sum
mer and fall in Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas
and Louisiana. These Associations
should communicate with Bro. T. T.
Carver, General Manager of the
Southwestern Cooperative Associ-
alton at New Orleans, who will give
them all necessary information as to
how to proceed in establishing and
conducting cooperative business,
and will fill all orders for trade
checks, books, etc.
The Southwestern Cooperative
Association at New Orleans sup
plies an essential feature in the bust
ness arm of the Order. In the pur
chase Of supplies and sale of cotton
and other produce, it fully meets
the wants of the local organizations
being an agent at once prompt and
efficient, and whose interest it is
to promote and protect the interests
of Oranges and members of the Or
der. Local Cooperative Associa-
tons, Patrons and farmers should
bear this important fact in mind:
that in transacting their business
through the Southwestern Co-ope-
ratiVe Association at New Orleans,
they aid in building up the very sys-
tenn they are engaged in and which |
was designed to free them from the |
oppression and robbery of the mer-
chants system.

If the Grange work is to be actu-
ally beneficial to the world it must
include the children and begin by
educating the rising generation in
social graces and to entertain kind
regard for each other. That LAYS
the foundation for future co-opera-
ton and success on the ground of
mutual good will and confidence.
If we wish the world to be better
quarter of a century from now, we
must begin to train up our children
to assist in the work.

Manufacturers did not like to
have their long established business
plans interfered with. They sold
to their agents or retailers on credit
and allowed large commissions. Of
course they annually expected to
lose large amounts in the way of
bad debts, and in the way of goods
left over unsold. To be sure of
covering these losses they had to add
large margin and per centage
to the price of their goods, all
of which the farmers had to
pay. And the same policy exactly
prevailed with the wholesale mer-
chants. The farmers of the
Grange did not like these systems.
They were too burdensome on them.
As the first step toward a remedy
they determined to adopt the cash
system of business.
Then they proposed to buy
through agents of their own selec-
ton instead of those selected by the
manufacturers and wholesale mer-
chants. Will anybody dispute their
right to do sof They thought they
had a perfect and inalienable right
to do SO and persisted in it, despite
all opposition. BY doing so they
have saved of their hard earnings a
very large amount of money. They
sorely needed all they could honestly
save in this way, for they were
nearly ruined already by the old
system of business.
We have been accused of making
war on middlemeh. 1t is not true,
as any impartial mind can see. We
dispense with some of them, be-
cause we do not need their services,
and can not longer afford to sup.
port them. That is all there is of
1T. But we are tainted with having
middlemen ourselves. OF course
we have. Have we not a right to
have them, if we choose? Then,
they are of our own selection. Is
there not something in that? We
also have the privilege of fixing
their wages or salary. We have
the right to dismiss them when they
don't suit us. We are the Judges
OF how many we want. And we
find that we do not need a fourth,
nor tenth as many as we had be-
fore. SO we dispense with the sur
plus, and by SO doing save vast
amount of money. Has anybody a
right to complain of this? We think
Just about as much right as they
would have to complain that we
did not employ every worthless
tramp that comes along, and pay
him big wages when we had moth.
ing for him to do, land if we had
few of them would do IT'D Would
it be making war on the tramps to
refuse to take them all in and pay
them wages for doing nothing?
Now, gentlemen, we propose that
you shall understand that we intend
to run our business in our own way
until we find that we can not get
along without your advice. Then
we will call for you.
