road companies had grown power
full and oppressive, that legislation
abridging and controlling them by
general government was absolutely
necessary. The speaker spoke at
length touching the great railroad
companies and their powers, and
the unjust and oppressive law en-
acted by Congress under which
these roads were operated.
He says that the great battle in
this country was between the far
ers upon the one side and corpora
tiops upon the other; that the Gov
ernmeBt is now practically in the
hands of the monopolies and mon-
eyed corporations, and that the far
mers will not cease until their vics
tory is complete and the reins OF
the Government in their hands.
He also referred to our patent
laws, and thinks they are unjust
and oppressive, and should at least
be so amended as to protect inno-
cent purchasers; that the Order has
petitioned Congress to amend
them, which has not yet been done.
There were many matters refer
red to by the eloquent speaker in
support of his different PROPOSE
tions, but the want of time and
space prevents our giving them.
He was frequently applauded by
the large and attentive audience
which had assembled to hear bis
address.

The following amendment to Ar
ticle I. of the Constitution of the
National Grange, submitted by that
body to the State Oranges for their
approval, has been ratified by three
fourths of the State Oranges; and
is therefore part of the National
Grange Constitution:
CART. /. Where State Grange has
not reduced its representation any Sub
ordinate Grange shall have the right to
elect Past Master as its representative
in the State Grange, when the Master is

This amendment does not in any
way effect the representation of the
State Oranges that have or may re-
duce the number of their voting
members, rs provided in Section 1,
Art. T., Of the National Grange
Constitution; but simply permits a
Subordinate Grange, in State that

Patrons of Husbandry of Louis
lana, have the honor to inform you
that our Grange prospects in Louis
lana are Frightening every day.
Bro. H. Eshbaugh, Lecturer OF the
National Grange, has just closed a
tour Of three weeks lecturing in
Louisiana, and left for his home
September I'd. His lectures have
been listened to with deep interest,
and will be the means of reviving
a number of dormant Grange.
We now have 19 Oranges in
working order, and, if no Provi-
dencial hinderance, will organize
our State Grange October 26, 1882,
at Baton Rouge, La, at IL o'clock.
All the Oranges in the State that
have or can re>organize by that
time are specially and earnestly re-
quested to send their Master, or
other representative.
The constitutional representa-
tives are the Masters and their
wives who are Matrons. Past Mas
ters and their wives who are Ma
irons are honorary members but
not entitled to vote except they are
elected to represent their Grange.
Subordinate Oranges should at
once elect a Past Master to repre-
sent the Grange in the event the
Master can not attend.
Representatives from Is Subordi-
nate Oranges are the least mum bsr
that State Grange can be organ
lied with; and I would urge the
Importance of every Grange being

perhaps with fewer Oranges and

Editorial Correspondence.
SELMA, ALA. September q

SHLnAs Ala, september Q.
1t has long been our intention to
visit some of the Subordinate Gran
ges in this State and Georgia with
the view of extending the circula-
ton of THE PATRON, but we have
been unable to do so until now. In
starting out on this tour it was our
good fortune to fall into the hands
of some of the truest, staunchest of
Patrons and to attend the meeting
of one of the very best Oranges in
the land. On reaching this city
yesterday morning we met with
two of the oldest and most Jealous
friends of THE PATRON in this
State-Worthy Master J. H. Nc
Ilwain and Past Master George
Phillips of Pleasant Valley Grange
who gave US a most hearty well
come. We have enjoyed the ele-
CANT hospitality of Bro. Phillips
and his brother, Past Master Phil
lips, of the same Grange, whose
kind attentions have afforded most
pleasing illustration of the truth
that Grange principles and teach
ings are not mere empty words and
forms. These three gentlemen have
been known to us several years for
their zeal and their fidelity to the
cause, the secret of which we readi-
ly learned on meeting their lovely
wives, who, like thousands of noble
ladies in all sections of our country,
rightly appreciate the value and
necessity of the Grange, and with
the spirit of a true and enlightened
patriotism give the cause most en-
thusiast'c support. When we meet
ladies like these so Jealous in the
cause-and we have met them in
nearly every Grange we ever visit
ed-we feel indeed that the found
ers of our Order "builded wiser
than the knew" when they provided
for the admission of ladies upon
terms of perfect equality.
On yesterday evening Bro. Geo.
Phillips took us to the re,idence of
Worthy Master Ben. C. Harrison,
of the Alabama State Grange, some
three miles from the city. 1t is
needless to say that we were de-
lighted to meet and take by the
hand this able and devoted Grange
leader. His genial manners and
pleasing address, combined with
his strong, clear intellect and en-
thusiastic devotion to the cause,
make him at once an exceedingly
popular and effective leader. In
this county were he is so well
known he enjoys the unlimited con-
fidence and esteem of his co-work-
ers in the Grange and the farmers
at large. He has lately returned
from a tour through number of
counties, and is enthusiastic over
the prospects of the cause in all the
localities he visited; indeed, he IN
formed US that the Order in this
State is rapidly gaining ground and
is in better condition now than at
anv former time. The Order in
Alabama has in Worthy Master
Harrison an able and fearless cham
pion, who will lead it to complete
and glorious success.
To-day we attended the meeting
of Pleasant Valley Grange, at their
snacious and beautiful brick hall,
Eve miles northwest of Selma. This
Grange is the banner Grange Of
the State. 1t has never faltered in
the good work; during all the years
of doubt and gloom, it stocd like a
stone wall, immevable, faithful and

Advantages Oh being kSrMcE
The Springfield Republican thus
sums up the advantages of the far
mer's occupation:
There are advantages in being d
farmer that he ought to think Of
these times. His lot may be hard
work and no end Of it, but he is the
only man in the country who can
command safety. The forshandcd
farmer has always the assurance Of
his living, and it may be q very
good living, while he is equally sure
that what he produces will be
wanted by others, And if times
are hard and prices low, he doesn't
have to shut up shop, fold his un-
willing hands and see his property
depreciate by idleness, as many q
m an ufacturer and merchant does.
He does not need to venture, and
if he makes ne brilliant profits he
runs no risk. It is estimated from
actual figures that ont OF LOCO
traders, but seUsn acquire wealth.
or 1,112 bankrupts, who took the
benefit of the bankrupt law in Mas
sacnusetts, only IA were farmers;
and of 1850 bankrupts in New
York, enly 46 were farmers. Less
than per cent. of the bankrupts
belonged to the agricultural popu>
lation twenty i've years ago,
though the agricultural population
so largely exceeds that Of all other
vocations combined.

Hon. II. L. NLuldrOW.

We most earnestly appeal to every
farmer in this Congressional Dis
trict to make every effort to secure
the reelection to Congress of this
able, faithful and fearless champion
of their rights and interests. Wor-
thy Master Darden during his re.
cent canvass spoke earnestly and
eloquently of the splendid services
of Col. Muldrow in Congress, and
every intelligent farmer throughout
the land will rejoice to see him re-
turned to the position where he has
!abored so earnestly and successful

the country. 1t should not be for.
gotten by the farmers of this District
that Col. Muldrow, was the first
member of Congress to introduce a
bill making the Agricultural De-
Partment an Executive Department,
and that throughout his entire Con-
gresSlonal career he has been watch
tul over their interests. Farmers,
Patrons of Husbandry, let every step
De taken, every effort made, to re-
elect this noble, devoted representa-
i've of your rights and interests by
an overwhelming majority.

true. It is composed of the very
best material; the officers are all
faithful and efficient, and the lady
members take great pride in con
trieuting to the pleasure of the
meeting by participating in the
proceedings and providing the most
elegant dinners. Worthy Master
!. H. McIlwaine presides with
ability and dignity, and has the
earnest support of corps of most
efficient officers. The proceedings
to- day were exceedingly interest
ing. The Grange is taking steps to
establish cooperative store in
Selma, which will doubtless be ac-
compEshed within sixty days.
The members of Pleasant Valley
Grange believe in practical work
to advance their interests and pro-
tect their rights" Last spring they
notified the politicians that they
must have a full share of the repre-
sentatives in the State Legislature,
and they went to work to carry out
their purpose. A thorough canvass
of the county was made; the farm
ers were fully aroused and turned
out to man at the primary meet.

men to represent them in the coun-
ty convention. They went to the
convention with majority of the
delegates, nominated Worthy Mas
ter A. Y. Gardner, a true, and de-
voted Patron, for State Senator.
and three other reliable Grange
leaders for Representatives, and at
the election they swept the field.
The Grange in every county
throughout the country can, if they
will take the matter in hand, elect
men Of their own class to the State
Legislatures, and it is the only way
in which they will ever secure a
proper recognition of their ri ,hts
and interests in public affairs.
The meeting to-day was small,
owing to the extreme inclemency
of the weather. We believe that
nearly all present are subscribers to
THE PATRON, and the Grange very
kindly adopted resolution pledg-
ing its support to the paper. We
will doubtless receive large club
of subscribers from this Grange,
which will be made up at tie next
meeting, md we assure our friends
here that such strong support from
the banner Grange Of Alabama will
be gratifying.
We leave tomorrow evening in
company with Worthy Master
Harrison for Montgomery county.
He will address meeting on Tues
day next near Morgansville in that
county, and if the weather is pro-
pitious there will be very large
attendance. We will write a full
account of this meeting, and hope
to secure large accessions to the
circulation of THE PATRON.
