Shall True Interests Re Longer
Ignored

The farmers Of this country cons
stitutc over DO per cent. of the en-
tire population, and accordingly
hold decidedly the balance of pow
err. Do they know it? If so, why
do they not use it? These are ques-
tons often asked, and as often are
unanswered. A Sampson, but alas
shorn of its locks. American agri-
culture was for the quarter century
preceding the organization of the
Oder of Patrons of Husbandry the
easy prey of its ferocious enemies.
With the coming Of this organizI-
ton came hope, and gradually linn
tied relief. Its capabilities were
great, and a casual observer would
have been found within its gates
fully appreciative of its great bless
ings and benefits. Statistics show
that farmers are much divided as to
what are their true interests, and
that the majority of them are yet
to be drawn to this Order which is
doing so much for them and hui
mainly. What is the remedy, and
how are these myriads of farmers
to be convinced and induced to join
hands with US in our efforts to Sc
cure the just claims of agriculturists?
Surely not by remaining at home
and wondering why any farmer
can refuse his support; not by
censure and i'll feeling toward those
who differ from us can we expect
to win them. We suggest that as
a grand brotherhood of farmers,
knowing by experience the impor-
lance of the organization and will
ing to labor and make sacrifices in
its behalf, that every present mem
Der, male and female, constitute
themselves a Visiting Committee"
to call upon and discuss with their
| non Patron nighbors the true OBJ
iects of the Order and try to re-
move all stumbling blocks from
their way. Do this with energy
and charity, and this present season
will witness an addition to oul
membership that the most sanguine
never imagined. To those of our
| fSdueIS WHO dIC IlOl Va
our Order, but have identical inter
ests with it, we appeal to their
judgment and reason and urge an
investigation, conducted with sim
cere desire to reach the right. EX-
anime the condition of your brother
farmer who is a Granger" and see
if he is not happier and better off,
socially, intellectually and financial
", than when he was like you-a
non believer-and after gaining the
desired information decide as to
whether ur true interests are to
be no longet ignored, remembering
that not only your own happiness
and welfare will be affected by it,
but those of your wife and little

The Outlook of the 6 range.

We have begun the year 1881
under the most favorable auspices.
1t is an especially good omen to
see the officers of State Grange
all active and energetic in the du-
ties of their very responsible posi-
tons. and the effect of such energy
is almost magical Scarcely two
months has elasped since the meet
ing of the Pennsylvania State
Grange at Greensburg; yet in this
short period many dormant
Oranges have been resuscitated and
delinquent members regained, and
many others hearing of the great
revival are writing to know how
to get in again.
Patrons, the reaction we were
looking for for several years is up
on us. We who have "borne the
heat and burden of the day" have
not worked in vain, and if we but
remain faithful to ourselves and the
cause we love we will yet see the
full frution of all our hopes.
But we must not now slumber on
duty. Fow is the time to put in
our best work. We must 60 out in
the highways and hedges and gath
er up the members who have wan
dered off, and use our best efforts
to bring them back. We must also
show to the farmers of our town
ships who have heretofore held
aloof from us, because they thought
THE Grange will die out before
long," that the cause we advocate, is
a living principle, that it is the canse
"of the people, by the people for
the people" and that the duty of
the American farmers. who compose
more than one half of the people OF
this country, is to come into the
Grange and assist in elevating their
class to the position they have
natural right to occupy
Wonders have already been &C
complished in the organization Of
the agricultural people. Much
more indeed than the organization
of the Grange dreamed of in their
early efforts; but we have only
made star; the foundation of the
Order is only laid, and now we are
prepared to build upon it. Patrons,
are you all ready for the work. If
so, let there be a grand movement
along the whole line, and the next
two months will show that we are
not mistaken in the reaction in fav-
or of the Grange.-FarmerS

HE Rest Vet.

In the organization of the State
Alliance last month, in the discus
Sions as to the various farmers or
CARNATIONS, Mr.. Clarkson took the
position that the Grange was the
best organization the farmers ever
had, or would in all probability have
in the next century. He has al
ways defended the Grange amid
all of its vicissitudes ever since it
had its first footing in the State. 1t
has no firmer friend And we hope
the Grange will fulfill its great mis-
sion IN educating and elevating the
farmers not to ouly know, but in
the ability to defend their rights.
The Grange yet has mole vitality
and back bone than all other forms
of farmers clubs or alliances, and
we call upon the membership in
the Order to awake and push for
ward this ark. Now is the time
for woIk. Work with system, early
and late; all must work; men and
women, officers and members. Soon
the busy season will be on us, and
little can be done to rebuild our
broken alters. Let the few weeks
of the winter be employed in avail
able efforts. Work for yourself.

Our esteemed brother, Worth

Our esteemed brother, Worthy
Master Joel D. Gunnels, of Banks
county, Ga, writes to us:
ave have very hourishine
Grange of about 100 members, and
1t seems to me we are strong enough
to have a cooperative store, if it be
better to have it. We have been
getting considerable discount in our
purchases bv centering on a partic-
ular house"
We assure our correspondent that
it will be better, infinitely bet
ter, for his Grange to have a
store of their own on the Rochdale
plan. 1t will require but little ex-
perience with the practical opera
ton of the system to enable the
members to see and appreciate its
great advantages. The success that
has attended the es ablishment Of
these stores, when established and
operated on the true cooperative
plan as recommended by the Ma
tional Grange, has been uninterrup-
ted, and very satisfactory to the
members. Nothing would exert a
greater influence in reviving the
Order in Georgia than the establish
meat of cooperative stores by the
Oranges now in existence, and we
urge the Grange in Banks county to
commence the work without delay
The Cooperative Associations
that may be established in Georgia
will find it to their interest to order
their suppHes-coffee, sugar. mo-
lasses, etc.-through the Southwes-
tern Cooperative Association al
