The Grange.

EDITORS CLARION: Under the chang
ed circumstances produced by the rapid
progress of the age, the isolated and in
dividualizcd condition of the agricul-
tural class necessitated organization, TO
place it on terms of equality with the
organized associations Of all other class
es, which are mainly dependent on it.
To meet this necessity the Grange was
established and formed by those whose
interests were identified in agriculture,
without reference to their religiosu or
political afFinities.
Its purposes have been openly and re-
peatedly declared, and its acts made
public. 1t is, and should be properly
understood, as an organization specially
intended for the protection and advance
ment Of agriculture by legitimate means,
the chief Of which, is education, not
only in the methods and details Of the
cultivation of the soil--but in all other
matters, especially those of political eeoH-
omy, bearing on the pursuit Of agricuI-
turc, and pertaining to the welfare of
those engaged in it.
Prominent among which, are the bust.
ness methods in the transportation and
disposal of its products, which bring the
farmers in contact with other classes
and that they may there maintain thciI
just rights to a fair division of the prof
its Of labor; and whenever n Just diyi
sion is withheld, from whatever cause
or force, to take such action as all othe
citizens or classes, have and use to en-
force recognition of justice in thei
behalf, whether it be, through the mora
force of cooperation, or by appealing t.
the Courts, or Legislatures And last bu
not least, when other means fall to us
the right Of frcemen and resort to th
polls and intelligently cast their ballots
so as to influence legislation in their be
