An tNWlsR ANB oosTtY SYSTEM
We (the people Of the Soutb)
have followed too closely the ways
pursued by our fathers and our
selves before the war. We have
ignored the lessons of experience
and endeavored to become pros
porous people by policy which,
in the past. made them and us so
dependent upon others. Our plant
ers have employed all their time,
energies and means to produce
large cotton and sugar crops, and
have succeeded; but, in so doing
we have failed to secure all the
benefits to which DIR climate and
soil entitle us, and have annually
continued to add to the wealth oil
those who supply US, at enormous
profits, with the necessaries of life
and with the manufactured articles
which it is to our interest to pro.
ddee and to manufacture for our
selves. We have supplied The
North and Europe with the raw
cotton which they are utterly un
able to procure elsewhere, and they
have returned to Us the value
thereof In manufactured articles a
price many fold as great as We

More Enthnsiasm wanted.

The spirit of corporation among
farmers has been greatly quickened
by means Of the organization of the
Grange Subordinate State and ma
tional. No opportunity should be
neglected to give new vitality to eve-
ry germ Of practical cooperation
which has been planted in our
midst. The attention of the Patrons
of Husbandry cannot be directed to
the duty of diffusing their princi>
Piles in persistent and systematic
manner. The public mind should
be fully aroused to a consideration
of the truths and principles on
which our Order is based.
In the accomplishment of this end
measures should be at once taken to
increase the Influence of our Grange
papers to give them wider circula
ton, and TO place them in the hands
of all the farmers who are willing to
read on the subject and who have
life enough to open their eyes to the
dawning light. Not only should
papers like THE SPIRIT be more
widely distri buted, but there should
be sent into the field a body of lee
turers, who with the living voice
and personal influence will be able
to produce an effect greater even
than the best papers; but both kinds
OF work and influence are necessary,
and both must be pushed with a
more determined energy. Is it not
fact, friends, that we, who are
somewhat imbued with the spirit
and even greatness of our work, lack
the enthusiasm which so good and
and SO noble cause should inspire2
If our order languishes it is ke-
cause those who should be it's lead
ers are asleep at their post, are dial
lying with politics, or have some
petty scheme of their own to nurse.

We hope to give in future more
full particulars of the workings of
our leaders and representative bod
les throughout the Southwest, and
with this object we are endeavoring
to secure the cooperation of one or
more leading Patrons in each State,
who will have access to our columns
in any way that may seem most
conducive to the good of the Order,
whether it be in the shape of edito-
rails or letters, and who will give
special attention to the cause in their
respective States. We especially
desire to publish orders, addresses,
ETC., from State Grange officials
that may be of general interest, and
we have frequently urged the Lee
turers of State Oranges to use the
columns of THE PATRON freely for
he discussion of Grange questions.

The Grange

The Grange seeks to restore that
unity which the unhappy divisions
of trade, commerce, selfish compe
tition, partisan bitterness, and the
manifold antagonisms among men
have so deplorably distributed, and
TO realize in more beautiful and
practical form the holy idea of char
ity, love and brotherhood. The ten
dency to union, to organic effort, to
cooperative action, is strong and
almost universal at the present day.
Among the almost endless variety
of human wants there is not one
which makes itself SO powerfully
and keenly felt as the want of
friendship, society and the intimate
communion, soul with soul; and yet
such are the habits of modern soci-
ETY. and the spirit of the times
there is no want so difficult to sup
ply.
Many hearts there are glowing
with warm affections, oppressed
with deep and earnest tongings for
friendly intercourse and close COM
munion with sympathising and re-
sponsive hearts, and yet, like the
spirit in the parable, wander up and
down the desert places of life and
find no rest. The cords of social
unity have been severed and indi>
vidualism, selfishness, GOODNESS, and
distrust, have been installed whore
the reign OF charity, friendship and
mutual love should abound. These
individual, selfish and incohcrent
tendencies, which cast whitening
and fatal paralysis over all social

The Grange Cam paign I'm Texa..


Worthy Master Rose opened his
campaign last week, the first State
Master in the South to commence
active work in the field this year.
He will soon be followed by Wor-
thy Masters Darden of this State,
Harrison of Alabama, and Scott of
Arkansas, and the indications all
point to unusual activity in the Or
der throughout the entire South.
We think it safe to predict an I'M
usual increase of Grange power and
influence during the present year.
In Texas the County Committee
men are making arrangements to
give Worthy Master Rose recep-
tons worthy of the great cause he
SO well represents, and which will
enable him to present its principles
and purposes before the farmers of
the State more effectively than he
has been able to do heretofore in the
absence of the proper and timely
cooperation of leading members in
the different counties. The letters
in our last issue show how well the
County Committeeman are prepar-
ing for the campaign. The work
which Worthy Master Rose will &C
complish in Texas will have its effect
in all the States He will speak
through the columns of THE PA
IRON to tens of thousands of earnest,
devoted members of the Order from
Florida to Texas, and his voice,
which has never given forth an un-
certain sound, will carry hope and
encouragement to hundreds of
thousands of workers in our grand
army of progress and reform beyond
the limits of his own State.
