What a power there is IN the publit
speech. Orators have swayed the people
for good or evil in all ages. Our Order
is only fairly getting awakened to the
true value of "the press" and the pub
lie speaker, and wherever either or botf
are being used there it is that we hear o.
"revivals." "rcorganizations" and "initia
tons" We cannot too strongly urge i
upon all well wishers of the Grange and
its principles to avail themselves of all oP'
portunities to "spread the light"
Made potent with the might of speech
Thought holds the keys of destiny;
And borne on fiery lips may reach
And mold the ages yet to be.
Who so can speak the fitting word
When earthly threatening perils wait,
His tongue is mightier than the sword,
To shape Nations future fate"
Never before in the history of the
country have the farmers been so stirred
up as now to their own interest and infu-
ence in the management of the public at
fairs. Should the spirit evoked in the
past two or three years continue to ex-
pand in earnestness and activity IT will be
but few years until the farmers, the now
hewers of wood and drawers of water for
other classes will become The rulers ofthe
country and the dictators of its policies
Why should they not be? The jor part
of the material interests of the country is
theirs. They constitute the majority oil
the whole people. They cast the majority
of the votes at general elections. What
aroused the spirit of inquiry now pre-
valent among farmers? 1t was the
Grange. The Grange brought the ar
rogance of monopolies to bow before
the decisions OF our courts, State and Ma
tional. The Grange has thrust an en-
tering wedge into mucfyof the legislation
in the States. 1t is making itself felt in
the halls of Congress, though, as yet, it
has secured no legislation in that body
of practical value to the farmers. If we
but double the moral power and influence
of the Grange beyond what it now is, even
Congress will be found obedient to the de-
mands of the farmers. What if all the
farmers were Patrons? They would become
an invincible army before which all the
power of capital, of corporations, of po-
litical intriguers, could not stand single
day. Why not make of the farmers that
invincib.e army?

The reports from Texas are very
encouraging. The leaders are gen.
orally at work and the Subordinate
Oranges are all doing well. But
one cooperative store in the State
has failed, as far as we are advised,
and that failure was caused by a
departure from the principles and
purposes of the cooperative sys-
tenn, and not by improper action by
the Manager. 1t is needless to say
that the Agency of the Texas Co.
operative Association at Galveston
is doing well; under the control of
General Agent ] S. Rogers it has
proven one of the most successful
and beneficent cooperative enter
prises in the country.
One of the best appointments
which Worthy Master Rose has
made is that of Worthy Master
Thomas c. Holt. of Red River
county, to the important position
of Deputy Lecturer for the Second
Congressional District. Talented,
eloquent and Jealous in the cause,
Bro. Holt will inspire life and en-
thusiasm in the Order throughout
the entire district. With such men
as Holt and Kellar in the lecture
field, Worthy Master Rose will
soon bring the Order in the EN-
pire State of the South to a high
state of prosperity and efficiency.

The great necessity of a better
education among farmers must be
apparent to all true Changers, and
to what better use could our Gram
ges put their surplus money than
to purchasing good books on agri-
culture and other topics pertaining
to farming, and thus form a library
for our own benefit, and for the
benefit of the rising generation who
are to fill our places after we are
numbered among the dead. What
a grand thing it would be if every
Grange throughout this blessed
land bad from fifty to one hundred
or more volumes to hand around
among it's members for them to
read carefully. Would it not make
our beloved Order more permanent?
and would it not promote the cause
of education in our midst.

Now my advice to all farmers that

NEwspApER COMMENTS.

New York, 8.-The Times says the re-
publican party message to President
Arthur reads something like this:
"Mind your own business, which is not
that of interfering in the local politics OF
your own er any other state. Cease try
ing to be ward politician and the ex-
ecntive of the nation at the same time.
Leave men like John O'Brien, Stephen
B. French and Jno. f. Smythe to their
own device. Try to extend your poll
teal vision beyond the area to which YOU
have been accustomed to confue it. You
are not ignorant of the rudiments OF
craftsmanship; advance beyond them and
confde in he people rather than in poli-
ticians. Be assured that when you in.
trigued to ioist the clsims of Roscoe
Conkling on Disguised constituents, you
made fatal blunder; that when you
humbly tried 10 console him under de-
feet with the judgeship of the supreme
court, you insul ed public intelligence;
that when you lent yourself TO work
his revenge, and that CT his mas
ter, could, against Governor Cornell,

thinking man in this state, and sowed

Condemned Chester A. Arthur as he is.
10 Roscoe Conkling also, albeit a
private citizen, altogether out of politics,
the republican party of this state has
had soneshipg to say. Unless we greatly
mistake the meaning of yesterdays vote,
it is som ething like this: "If you have
any sense of gratitude for the honors
which the party has showered on you in
the past, take your hands off its organ
izstion for the future, for nobody ex-
poets to admit that you have grossly
abused the trust reposed in you, but
everybody who has handful of
personal adherents, blinded by pre-
judice or seli-it terest, demands that
you should recognize the fact that
you have had your day, and that the
only service left for you to perform to
your party is that of telling your hencb-
men to understand that you have nothing
more to give them or to ask from them.
With the character of your clients the
public have nothing to do, but republic
cans who retain some admiration for you,

msnent improvement in the character of
American politics will result By the re-
publican defeat, which may be repaired

Democratic State convention reas>
sembled at 10:40 a. m. The con-
testing delegation from Dallas Coun
ty was admitted to an equal repre~
sentation.
Judge John Hancock, of Travis
County, was elected permanent
chairman. Judge Hancock delivered
brief speech, and the following
platform, with relation to national
issues, was adopted:
The Texas Democracy declares it's
adherence to the time e-honored prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. We
are opposed to class legislation; to
the centralizationo OF the powers OF the
government, in one department, OF
under one head, and encroachment
which leads to the creation OF
despotism and to national banks
We favor honest money, consisting
of gold, silver and paper, converta~
BILE into gold and silver; tariff fol
revenue only; thorough reform oi
the civil service; full, free, fan
vote and a fair count; free ships
and a living chance for American
commerce on the seas. We are OPP
posed to any discrimination IN favor
of one place over another by
transportation lines. A resolution
was adopted that the Democracy O
Texas demands from the genera
government ample recognition anc
protection of her citizens at hom.
and abroad. A resolution endors
ing the administration of Gov. Ro'
berts was carried. The convention
then took recess. Upon reassem

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-After some
unimportant business, Senator Mer-
ritt moved to proceed with the reve-
nue. tax bill, and Senator Hale sup
plemented this with motion to
take up the naval appropriation bill
A protracted rambling debate fol-
lowed upon the order of business.
The revenue bill retained its place as
unfinished business of the morning
hour hereafter, and Senator Mer-
ritts motion to lay aside all pending
orders to tase up the tax bill pre-
vailed; yeas 35, nays 30.
The pending amendment was that
of Senator Voorhees, to strike out
the provision repeating the taxes on
bank capital and deposits, bank
checks, drafts, &c
Senator Jonas, of Louisiana. in
some remarks upon the joint resolu-
ton repeating the additional 25 per
cent. levied by an act of 1875, on all
imported sugars, said he had voted
for the tariff commission in the be-
lief that it was the safest to have the
sugar interest considered in connec>
ton with the general subject of the
tariff revision. He preferred this
to any partial or halfway
action. He quoted the
statement that the reduction of the
sugar tariff would be calanitous tc
the planters of Louisia ana and other
sugar growing States, particularly
after the great loss sustained by
them from the late floods, and sub
misted figures showing the small
profits realized from the cul'
lure and manufacture of sugar
One of the best crops
of late years number 40,O0O,OO(
pounds of sugar, which, at Z cents
realized S1O,0OO,00O. The molasse
from this sugar would be worth I
Sll, 100000 more, making the yalu
OF the product of the crop 1000,
900. The cost of making this cro]
was S20,000,000, which left 81
100000 net profit, or q per cent. ol
the capital invested. Any seriou
reduction of price would entail sue
a loss IN the receipts as would wlp
out the entire profits. Ii the pro
posed cut of rs per cent. was made
and when the tariff is revised
