the matter: There are certain We.

The Changers Opportunity.

A fundamental principle in the
organization of the great order of
Patrons of Husbandry was the con-
troll of the railroads by the State,
though perhaps not so expressed in
the constitution. The Grange fur
nished an outlet to the long pent-
up desire for progressive work
among farmers, who, in this coun-
try have always suffered from isola
ton andalack of Organization. The
movement for time carried all be-
fore it,and the noted Granger laws"
are monument to its power and
influence. The propriety and JUS
tice of these Granger laws have
been confirmed by the Supreme
Courts. Railroad managers now
admit, after having fought bitter
fight, that these laws and the con.
sequent decisions have been a great
benefit to the railroads, by saving
a vast amount of litigation. Thus
the Grange was not born in vain.
Its most enthusiastic workers doubt
less went too far in the attempt to
have producers act as their own
merchants and transporters, and in
forcing some of the railroad issues
before the country was ready for
them. This is evinced by practi-
cal overthrow of the law for fixing
tariffs, except in one or two States,
and the general decadence of the
order throughout the country.
What was actually done shows
what may be accomplished through
great organization of the people
working against organized power,
tor the common good.
And now has come a great op-
portunity for the Patrons of Hus.

Hold on to the Grange as the last

Hold on to the Grange as the last
hope of the farmer for intelligence,
independence and happiness. If the
farmers of America wish to relieve
themselves and their children from
serfdom, that doom must be averted
by united action, And as the wealth
of this country, as in the Old World,
is rapidly sliding into a few hands,
there is no time to be lost Every
other age and land is lesson to us
to truly realize our destiny. To
where can we look for relief but the
God given Grange?
1t is an important lesson to learn
that no man or woman was created
for the purpose of living in isolation
for living to ones self The Great
Master has given faculties of mind
and soul, which must be exercised
if we fulfill our high destiny. He
has bestowed gifts which must be
cultivated and developed if they are
to shine in all their beauty and fresh
ness. Let your light so shine," is
the divine command. This cannot be
done if it be hidden in the seclusion
of an isolated home or 'sunder a
bushel." Therefore, farmer reader. if
You are not already a Patron, prove
no longer recreant to divine inspira-
ton, but come out from the gloom
of an isolated home and bask in the
genial sunshine about the threshold
of the Grange, and learn how so
much happiness is vouchsafed at the
cost of little effort.
The Grange is a very curious in
stitution. Without being a'peace So
ciety, it inculcates brotherlv love;
without being a loyal league, it
teaches patriotism; without being a
temperance society, it demands
sobriety. 1t does not profess to
be a religion. yet it requires
faith in God. It passes over State
and sectional lines, and gathers its
brotherhood in the mystic ties and
holy rites of fraternal sympathy and
love. 1t encourages the respondent
and downcast to nurture a lively
hope in God and mankind. 1t teaches
its membership the grand doctrine
of charity, and it advocates fidelity
in all temporal as well as spiritual
duties and obligations. To be a good

The Grange Campaign In Missis-
siDDi.

Worthy Master Darden is now
actively engaged in the greatest
campaign that he has yet underta-
ken, the result of which will be to
place the Order in Mississippi on a
frmer basis, in more commanding
position than it has yet attained in
the State-stronger in numbers,
more earnest and efficient in its
work, and with a more comprehen
sive system of operations in all pub
lie and business affairs.
1t will be seen that Worthy Mas
ter Darden has added quite number
of appointments to the list published
last week, which will take him into
counties that have long needed his
presence. He believes strongly in
earnest, thorough work by those
who have been called to leading po-
sitions as essential to the success of
the cause, without which this great
organization that promises SO much
for the toiling millions of our coun-
try must languish and lose strength,
and there is no labor too great for
him to undertake in its behalf. He
is to. day travelling by private con-
veyance to meet his appointments,
encountering the heat and storms of
midsummer, intent only on his pa
triotic mission to arouse the farmers
of our great State to a full realiza-
ton of the importance, the impera-
tive necessity, of Organization for
self protection and the elevation of
their class. Can the farmers of Mis-
sissippi stand idly by and see this
patriot farmer, this able and fearless
representative leader, devoting his
time and his talents to their cause
without responding to his efforts or
at least hearing his argument? Sure
ly they are not so dead to their best
interests nor so ignorant of the press
ing need that called the Grange into
existence and requires its perpetuity,
as to be unmoved by the patriotic
efforts of their representative lead
ers. We believe that as WORTHY
Master Darden progresses through
the State the farmers will turn out
en- nzaSSe, and by their presence,
their earnestness and their enthusi
asm, make this campaign for the
Grange the most imposing'an and sue
cessful ever witnessed on Mississip
pi soil.

why Should Attend the Grange
Meetings?

A question of some importance
is this. If no actual, tangible bene-
fit is derived, it is simply a waste of
thus squandered. I do not doubt
that there are members in every
Grange in the land upon whom
their membership has conferred no
direct benefit because they seldom
or never attend the meetings.
Now | have received benefits of
two kinds-direct and indirect; the
latter, perhaps, greater than the
former.
The application of the principle
of combined purchases, and cash
payments has effected a genera! re-
duction in all the necessaries, and
many of the luxuries, of life. In
this advantage | share in common
with all, whether members of the
Order or not. Another indirect
benefit is found in the high esteem
in which members of the Grange,
and perhaps other farmers, hold
their occupation.
When we reflect upon the won
derful changes wrought in the med
ical world since the days when the
pulverized flesh of dried vipers was
the principal ingredient in a pre-
scription, by combination or asso-
ciate research, we will not be sur
prised that like results should be re-
allied in soil culture.
improvements in the modes of
tillage will necessarily be followed
by corresponding Improvement in
the tillers
The social and intellectual condi-
ton of the farmer was never so
high as now is, his advancement in
knowledge land true refinement
never before SO rapid. This is
great benefit which is not confined
to members of the Order, but en-
joyed by all who are dependent on
the farmer for living. Intelligence
and skill in the farmers means big
ger crops, more money, better re-
ward for labor, more prompt pay
ments-general prosperity.
Directly, the Grange benefits have
been better acquaintance with my
brethren, better understanding of
their peculiarities of character, the
dispersion of prejudices, the forma-
ton Of friendship which / trust will
continue through life, and it may be
some progress in self culture. And
last and least, | have saved pecuni-
arily trife, which if saved by all
the members would amount in the
aggregate to a large sum, and
throughout the whole Order to many
millions of dollars.
| had hoped to learn more about
farming, but owing either to my
inaptitude or to the failure of the
Grange to discuss questions purely
of an agricultural character, l have
not in this respect realized my
wishes.
1t may be worthy to entertain
the suggestion that each member
should keep a note book and enter
therein any matter concerning
which he may gather up in his read
ing or otherwise which he may
think of interest and advantage to
the Grange.

The leaders of the Grange in many
of the States were never more active
than now. In most of the Northern
. States they are pushing the work
with great zeal and with good effect
Worthy Masters Eshbaugh of Mis-
souri,, Darden of Mississippi, and
Rose of Texas, are engaged in an
active campaign in their respective
States, and their meetings are well
attended. In these three States es-
peeially the cause is prospecting,
rapidly gaining strength, and NOV
ing steadily forward. And in these
States the State, District and Coun-
ty Lecturers are actively sustaining
the Masters and with the best of
results. The intelligent, reading,
thinking Patron who keeps up with
the movements Of our leaders and
with the spirit of the active mem
bers, has no cause for dependency;
it is the poor ignorant farmer, who
shuts himself up at home and knows
nothing of the great work that the
Grange is accomplishing for his
class, that believes the artful false
hood of the Interested enemies of
the Order that the Grange is dead.

The Canadian farmers take deep
interest in the Grange, and turn out
in immense numbers at their picnics
and other Grange demonstrations
1t will be seen by the report from
the Canadian Farmer that Worthy
Master WooIman was present at a
recent Grange picnic in Canada
and delivered a speech which we
print and which our readers will
find very Interesting. The Cana.
dian farmers gave him a cordial re-
ception and the best feeling pre-.
vailed.

The Grange will yet get full JUS
tlce from the more intelligent and
patriotic of other classes for its great
work in effecting reforms and in
creating strong public sentiment
against corruption in political affairs
and the dangerous power of monop-
les. A lady, writing to the Chicago
Inter Ocean, pays glowing tribute
to the healthful and elevating infu-
ence of the Grange upon the farmers
of the country, and many of the best
men of other professions are begin
hing to acknowledge that its inhu-
ence has been for the good of the
whole country. VIM. Window, the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
best man in the Cabinet, is an out
spoken friend of the Grange; he de-
clared on the floor of the United
States Senate that the demands of
the Grange were just and would
yet be enforced. Let the doubling
Patrons take courage from the high
estimation in which the Grange is
now held by some of the ablest and
best statesmen of the Country.

A Noble Tribute.

The following free and unqualli-
fed tribute to the grand work being
accomplished by our Order, ap-
peared in the Chicago Daily Inter
Ocean, few DAYS since, from the
pen of Mrs. Elizabeth Boynton
Herbert. Thus does recognition
come from all sides more and more
as time passes, and the tree is
judged by its fruits.
THE GRANGE.
We hear from many sources great
surprise expressed at the rapid
growth of public sentiment in fa
vor of an equality of rights, and
particularly in regard to the fact
that progress seems more rapid in
our agricultural districts than in the
larger towns and cities, and we are
| requested to suggest reason. We
think the answer may be embodied
in two words-"The Grange"
SILENTLY and unobtrusively there
is developing in our country an or
ganization destined in the near tu
ture to efeft results, startling in
their character, to the careless OBJ
server The fact that during the
past nine years the thoughtful men
| and women from our farm homes
| have convened together on an ex-
act equality to consult upon ques-
tons pertaining to the better meth
DDS of government in the school
and State, may not have attracted
| general attention, but influences
have been set in motion, incalcula-
bic in their results, and as we be
lieve incalculable for good.
A list of topics to be discussed
during the year, at meetings where
men and women meet as human be
ings, mutually interested in all that
pertains to lifes and living, includes
the following: Some advantages of
a governmental system of savings
banks, arbitration the true principle
for individuals and nations, compul-
sorry, education, how farmers may
make the most of life, home part of
education, limitation of ownership
in land, experience and reviews.
We know of no better form of
club, or no association that suggests
such possibilities of usefulness as the
Grange, and our earnest hope is,
that the earnest women of rich and
varied experience, to, day living in
our farm homes, may appreciate
and use this organization and render
it strong and pure.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-07-02

for the benefit of its members and
the country at large. The present
war against the great railroad, tele-
graphic, and other monopolies is
but a renewallof that begun by the
Grange years ago. If the farmers
would regain and wear the raurels
due them and be freed. from ty-
ranny worse than any European
peasant knows, Oranges, Alliances,
Leagues and Clubs of every de-
scription should take up arms IN
the cause against the common enc
my. The several million of Patrons
can WELD great power in this bat
tie. The organization is ample foI
the purpose; If not, the National
Anti. NJ onopoly League, now
spreading throughout all the States
gives ample opportunity for every
man interested in equal fights and
equal privileges with the most ia
vored. With the forces of the thou
sands of Oranges of Alliances, and
Anti Monopoly Leagues, there
would be an army against which
the monopolists would make hard
fight, but which they could moi
long withstand.-FarmerS Revie7v
