The demands of the large and
growing circulation of THE PATRON
compelled us last year to add to its
establishment printing press of
greater capacity than that on which
it was then printed. On examin-
ing number of presses, we selec-
ted press with some new features
that must attract the attention and
command the admiration of the
practical printer who has had expe-
rience with the printing presses of
day. Those features are the deliv-
cry of the sheets to the fy without
tapes and piling them in front in
stead of in rear of the press. The
above is an accurate representation
of our press, which was invented
and manufactured by A. Campbell
Esq, of New York, the inventor of
the old style Campbell country
press which enjoys worldwide
reputation.
The above press is one of the best
manufactured. We regard it as
great an improvement over the cyl
ender presses now in use as the latter
were over the old hand press. The
capacity Of this press by steam is

rights, and we therefore declare our I'M
alterable purpose to emancipate Agricul-
ture from the burdens unjustly hoped
upon it, and the means by which we hall
seek to secure the desirable ends
L. We shall strive earnestly, Within
and without our Order, to extend the
benefits of education, which shall COM
prise knowledge of public affairs and the
methods of self-government
2 We shall demand admission In the
Legislature of the several States, and in
both Houses of the National Congress,
for representatives of Agriculture chosen
directly from its votaries, as the only
means of relief.
3. We shall accord to other Industries
all the rights, privileges and immunities
which we claim for our own, and Join
with their representatives i'm earnest en-
beavers to impress upon the General and
State Governments the habits of wise
economy and frugality as essential to the
thrift and prosperity of all the people.
4. We shall give constant care and at
tention to the public schools, in which
the youth of the country are deeply inter-
ested, limiting expenditures therefor only
by their usefulness, striving always for
that higher and practicable enlightenment
which should become the distinguishing
feature of free people.
After the above had been adopted, the
following was also presented and passed:
In accordance with the above objects
of our organization, and the methods by
which they are to be obtained, We zdge
our unyielding devotion to work
marked out. We believe the 5ri ciples
enunciated in our Declaratl0A are n full
accord with the highest welfare # our
country, and that they deserve su port,
/ especially by all farmers. The history of
! Agriculture on this continent shows that
no organization in it's behalf has ever
been attempted without direct effort ON
the part of those who prey upon its pro-
/ ducts to neutraliZe the work, and the less
Ons of the past establish the conviction
that our only hope is in the full and cord
! ial cooperation of farmers, wherever To-
| Gated, to insure that success which is
|. within our grasp.
! We appeal, therefore, to good men and
! women, whose interests are our own, to
! Join their efforts with ours, confident that
/ with their support we shall not wait long
/ for the consumation of our hopes. We
! appeal to the agricultural journals of the
! land, asking their great influence in aid
! of the above objects as a potent means
for the attainment of great object. To
these forces, and to the intelligence of
our people, we present the purposes
! which animate many thousands of farm
ers in every State of our Union, and rev.
erently trust in the direction of the wise
! Providence, in whose decree we were
made tillers of the soil that our efforts
may be rewarded by the full accomplish
| mentS of the measures which Justice de-
| mands in the relief of an oppressed in

WHEREAS, There have been
many unjust and nwarrantable
criticisms on Worthy Master Oar

by our partisan press and others,
who are in conflict with our pur
poses, and opposed to the Grange
institution, and bent on trying to
neutralize the good effects we have
experienced from his speeches in

fore. be it
ResoiOed, By this Grange that the
charges made against Bro. Darden,
''that he has gone into partisan pol
tics" is without foundation, and !,
in our opinion, are made and in
tended for the express purpose of
diverting the minds of the farmers
from the real points at issue.
ResoLOed, That we heartily en-
dose Bro. Darden's speeches as
sound Grange doctrine, and highly
edifYing to his hearers; and further
be it
ResoIved, That we endorse Bro.
Worthington in his defence Of Bro.
Darden against this unauthorized
construction placed opon his
speeches by the Aberdeen press.

Judge of the superiority of our press

Buena Vista, Sept. 10.
De Soto county.

Editor Patron. We would not
have performed our duty as d good
Granger and farmer were we to
permit the recent visit of Worthy
Master Darden of our State Grange
to this locality to pass unnoticed.
On the 9TH inst. some two hun
dred of our farmer and Grange Citl
zens assembled at Oak Grove in
this, De Soto, county, to hear the
address Of Bro. Darden. Quite a
sparse attendance, | am sure, but
those who heard were delighted and
convinced of the soundness of the
Grange and of the benefits to be
derived from a connection with it.
The small attendance was due to
members not giving that publicity to
the appointment necessary TO secure
a large attendance. 1t were but
feeble tribute to Worthy Master
Darden's effort to say that it was
able, comprehensive, pleasing and
effective. He certainly impressed
himself upon the minds and hearts
of our people in a most fascinating
manner. We can but believe from
the expressions of many who heard
him who were not Changers before
that they will become such SO soon
as the opportunity presents. His
mastery exposition of the princi
pies and purposes of our Order and
tie matchless description he gave Of
strong, well organized Grange
were fully equal to any similar If
fort it has ever been our good for
tune to hear spoken or to have ever
seen written. Oftwo facts promi-
nent above others, he succeeded in
convincing ali rejecting persons
who heard him, and these were,
first, the necessity of systematic or
ganization among the agricultural
classes for their mutual benefit and
protection against organized capital
when used to Cypress their inter
ests; and second, the necessity OF
co operation among them both III
the purchase of their supplies anG
the sale of their products. We are
assured of general revival of IN
terest in the success and triumph Of
Grange principles among the old
members here md of a large aces
sion of new members We but re
/ feet he sentiment of all Changers
who heard Bro. Dardetl's address
when we say that he is efninently
worthy of the high trust reposed in
him by the Changers of our State
and that he can not be too highly
commended for his Jealous advo-
cacy Of their cause. In conclusion,
permit US to express an earnest wish
that his efforts for the good of the
Order may prove as rich in fruits as
they are rich in deserts, and that
the good brother may live to ripe
old age and witness ere long the
full fruition of his unexampled de
votion to the interests and welfare
OF the noblest Of all Orders and the
advancement Of the best interests of

NEW DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
BY THE
NATIONAL GRANGE,
At the Tveltth AnauaZ Session, Held at
Richmond, Virginia, NoUember 20
to 80, 1878.

We. the members of the National
Grange. desiring to define the precise OBJ
iects of the Patrons of Husbandry, and
place them before the membership of the
Order throughout the Union, do hereby
set forth the following propositions with
our distinct declaration of purposes re-
lating thereto.
The industry upon which our Order
is based is Agriculture-the most indie
nendent of all industries, the foundation
and support of all others, the true basis
of all our National prosperity. We have
observed the condition of our people, and
viewed with alarm the encroachments
upon their natural rights While Agricul-
ture is the chief source of all our wealth,
and therefore deserving of at least equal
recognition with other vocations, it is de-
priyed of its Just rewards and oppressed
by methods of law. 1t is made to bear
grievous burdens not its own; it is COM
DeIIed to pay taxes which an equitable
distribution would place elsewhere; it is
forced by wicked combinations to submit
to hurtful determinations against its pro-
ducts both in transportation and in the
marts of sale; it's votaries have been anCl
are now denied that consideration in pub.
lie affairs to which the magnitude and
the Importance of their calling entitle
them. The laws of the Nation and of the
several States are so framed as to divert
from our great industry the rewards
which are the incentives to toll, and an
earnest remonstrance against their mjus-
tice spurned.
In view of these truths, we are bound
In defense Of our manhood to assert our
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-09-24
SPECIFIC OBJECTS.

8. We shall endeavor to advance our
cause by laboring to accomplish the fol-
lowing objects:
To develop a better and higher
manhood and wonsnhood among our
selves; to enhance the comforts and at
fractions Of our homes, and strengthen
our attachments to cur pursuits; to foster
mutual understanding and cooperation;
to maintain inviolate our laws, and to
emulate each other in labor, to hasten the
good time coming; to reduce our eXpen-
Ses, both individual and corporate; to
buy less and produce more, in order to
make our farms self-susteining; to di-
versify our crops, and crop no more than
we can cultivate; to condenSe the weight
of our exports, selling less in the bushel
and more on hoof and in fleece; less in
finland more in warp and wool to system
atize our work and calculate intelligent
" on probabilities; to discountenance
the credit system, the mortgage system,
the fashion system, and every other SyS-
tenn tending to prodigality and bank
ruptcy.
We propose meeting together, talking
together, working together, buying to-
gether, selling together, and in general,
acting togetb r for our mutual protection
and advancement as occasion may require.
We shall avoid litigation as much as pos
sible by arbitration in the Grange. We
shall constantly strive to secure entire
harmony, goodwill, vital brotherhood
among ourselves, and to make our Order
perpetual. We shall earnestly endeavor
to suppress personal, local, sectional and
national preiudices, all unhealthy rivalry,
all selfish ambition Faithful adherence
to these principles will insure our mental,
moral, social, and material advancement.
BUSINESS RELATIONS.
4. For our business interests, we de-
sire to bring producers and consumers,
farmers and manufacturers, into the most
direct and friendly relations possible.
Hence we must dispense with a surplus
of middlemen, not that we are unfriendly
to them, but we do not need them. Their
surplus and their eXactions diminish our
profits.
We wage no aggressive warfare against
any other interests whatever. On the
contrary, all our acts and efforts, so far
as business is concerned, are not only for
the benefit of the produce rand consumer,
but also all other interests that tend to
bring these two parties into speedy and
economical contact. Hence we hold that
transportation companies of every kind
are necessary to our success, that their
interests are intimately connected with
our interests, and harmonious action is
mutualrAi advantageous, keeping in view
the first sentence in our Declaration OF
Purposes of action, that '-individual hap
piness depends upon general prosperity. =
We shall, therefore, advocate for every
State the increase in every practicable
way of all facilities for transporting
cheaply to the seabon.d, or between home
producers and consqa3ers, all the produc-
ton of cur country. we adopt II as our

GENERAL OBJECTS.

l. United by the strong and faithful
tie of agriculture, we mutually resolve to
labor for the good of our Order, our
country and mankind.
2. We heartily endorse the motto, "In
erty; and all things, charity"

PREAMBLE.

Profoundly impressed with the truth
that the National Grange of the United
States should definitely proclaim to the
world its general objects, we hereby
unanimously make this Declaration of
Purposes of the Patrons of Husbandry.
