Affirm SOnthWArG. .

Last week, in response to invita-
tons, we visited various points in
Maryland, Virginia, and West Vir-
ginia- Everyw where there wore
gratifying evidences Of returning
prosperity. and proofs of improve
ment in agriculture, manufactures
and commerce. The unprecedented
drouth, which has ruined so many
crops in the North, has made its
mark in the South; but less disas~
trousIy than above the Pennsylva-
MIA line.
We had testimony Of more than
one of the senses that Southern far
mers are spending great deal of
money for phosphates and other
commercial fertilizers. At every
station the nose and eyes were able
to report great activity in the mar
Eet for articles whose sellers de
clare there is nothing like them to
produce great crops. We could not
but pity tho purchasers who, we
are sure, will in the majority Of IN
stances be sadly disappointed. For,
at present. we do not know any one
who. as aeecer OF farmers, so fully
follows the lightning-rod man as
as the average dealer in fertilizers.
We found much interest mani-
tested in the Grange, it's purposes
and methods. The great facilities
which it affords the farmers
for Cooperation are attracting
much attention, aud we convers-
ed with number of enterpri-
sing men who declared their pur-
pose TO unite with the Order. Those
who do so will learn better ways of
bringing up impoverished soil than
by using the worthless fertilizers
now paIme1 off upon them; and
when they do buy phosphates will
know where to get a genuine arti-
Gle, and at fair price Worthy

The Grange.

Not only the social amenities and
the lessons of high morals are taught
in the Grange, together with the
habit of fostering aspirations
beyond the monotonous pres
ent, but intellectual truths Of the
first Importance and magnitude are
disseminated through its agency.
The principles of social and politi-
cal economy are made familiar by
it's means. The narrow limitations
Of ordinary practical life are en-
Iarged, and broader and healthier
views are inculcated. The best
methods oflegislation are impressed
on the mind, and the proper topics
of it are sagaciously selected. The
vital relations of producer and con
sinner are more clearly understood.
Farmers are made TO comprehend
that they are freemen in the truest
sense and for the highest ends.
This is not by any means an imag>
mary picture. Those who have
been in the Grange since its forma
ton and establishment will readily
testify of the truth of more than we
have stated. They will freely ad
nit that the Grange is an educator
and thorough one; that it effectu-
ally stops the waste from which the
agricultural character SO long SUIT
tered, and tutors it in the art of saw
ing and satisfying resources on
hInh n hnp
when they happen to possess them,
make constant drafts for the sue
cessful conduct of their lives, and
the enjoyment Of their mature age.
1t is we'll to keep these simple facts
in mind, that by so doing this timely
organization may have the widest
scope for the employment Of its
many and valuable Influences

When a farmer subscribes for

When farmer subscribes for a
political newspaper, he does so to
keep up with the news Of the day,
and, as he thinks, to strengthen his
political party. But he does more
than this The political paper, may
be owned by ring of politicians,
it certainly is an opponent to the
Grange, and in subscribing for it,
the farmer contributes to the power
of ring of politicians that probably
despises him Or uses him as a mere
tool, and strengthens a paper that is
always ready to strike down his or
ganization. Some political papers
taken into a farmers household are
a curse to his family. 1t may not
openly assail the farmers rights and
oppose the Grange, but it ignores
them, and this contemptuous treat
ment necessarily inspires his chill
dren with respect for the calling of
the lawyer, the merchant or the
office seeker, while it as naturally
lessons that of the farmers in their
estimation
But the farmer who taks a Grange
paper that honestly and earnestly
advocates its principles and pur-
poses, keeps abreast with the pro-
gress of events, especially in those
departments where his interests lie,
and gradually educates his children
to higher appreciation of his &C.
cupation and prepares them for
their natural place in the Grange
army.
The influence of the press is silent
but it is far reaching and powerful.
1t elevates a class or it degrades
them. No more effective weapon
can be used to deprive class or a
people of their rights and liberties,
and, alas! it but too often happens
that the very power that is striking
down those rights and interests de-
rives its strength from the money
and support of the people them
selves. But the light from the
Grange has been shining in the
dark places, and thousands of farm
ers have been made to see their err
rors, and are to day strong support
ers of press that honestly and
earnestly and fearlessly advocates
their cause and demands that their
rights and interests be no longer
ignored or trampled upon.

Cooperation is making rapid
progress throughout the South.
Wherever the farmers become edu-
Gated in the principles and practice
of the co operative system, they
adopt it, and with che best possible
results, The losses which they sus-
tanned under the old competitive
system were 40 great, that they
found that bankruptcy was but a
question of time, and that the ga.
wings under the cooperative system
are SO large that prosperity and in
dependence are certainly within
their reach.
The National Grange did Il grand
work when, through the earnest,
persistent efforts of those noble
leaders. Past Master Jones, Allen,
Wright, Maxwell, and others, il
presented the plan of cooperation
now so universally adopted by the
farmers of this country. That work
has been kept up by the State and
Subordinate Oranges. and to-day
it is a glorious success. 1t is not
only saving the farmers of this
country millions of dollars annual
ly, but it is opening the way to
prosperity that they could never
have realized under the old system.
There were mistakes made in re-
gard to cooperative business ct
| first that entailed losses and bitter
disappointments to the members of
the Order. Perhaps one of the
greatest h'unders was the system Of
Grange Agencies established in the
large cities, but they have all passed
away except those of A. J. Child and
VIM. M. Price & Co, of St. Louis.
Why these are permitted to remain
as obstacles in the progress of true
co operation, is simply a mystery
The Missouri State Grange cannot
in justice to the we'll being Of the
Order give these personal agencies
a longer life. The cooperative
system is being rapidly perfected.
The Co operative Associations at
Galveston, New Orleans and ST.
Louis, which are conducted on the
Rochdale system, fully meet the
demands of the local cooperative
stores, and their success is estab-
lished
The growth of the cooperative
system in this country is as healthy
as it is rapid, and within a compar.
atively brief period of time it will
supercede in nearly all branches o
trade the expensive, oppressive anC
corrnpting competitive system.

This is certainly an extraordinary

This is certainly an extraordinary
year for weather. Beginning with
the earthquake which ran round
the world at the beginning of the
year, eliminating in the destruction
of Chios; then the extraordinary
rains and floods of the Spring in
England, France, Spain, and other
parts of the Continent; afterward
the succession of cyclones, like the
one which destroyed New Ulm;
latter the coming of the two comets;
more recently the terrible storm of
Hatteras, and now the hottest days
of the year coming in September,
accompanied by the extraordinary
condition of the sky in New York
and New England, not to mention
the protracted drouth, all go far to
prove that the meteorological record
of 1881 will be one of the most ex-
traordinary Of recent years.

all as we read the meaning OF the
word. What / understand to be
YOUR distinctive principle is this
that the worker should be paid ac
eordirg to the results of the WORK
that he should be wholly, or in part
his own employer. Now, what an
outsider or casual inquirer would
natu ally ask about that principle u.s.
How does it act as regards quantity
and quality of industrial production,
How does it affect the comfort and
happiness of those who adopt ,tF
and, How does it bear on the rela.
tions between labor and capital!
These three, / think, are the main
heads of our inquiry. AS to the
first. it must strike any impartial
observer that more work is likely
to be done, and it is likely to be
better done, on the co operative
system than on that Of ordinary wa
ges, and that for simple reason.
In the former case every man is
working for himself for others,
also, no doubt, but amongst others
for himself. In the latter case he is
working for an employer with
whose interests he cannot be expec-
ted to identify himself very warmly
it is only human nature that his zeal
should be stimulated by knowing
that he personally is to reap VIVA,
he sows, whereas the man employed
by the day or hour can scarcely be
expected to care to do more than Is
required to secure himself from dis
