Bunker Hill down to the surrender at Apo
mstfox-farmers have been fighting men.
Our leading statesmen have been farmers.
Eighteen OF the twenty y-one presidents have
been farmers or sons of farmers. The re-
mains of Washington rest on the home farm
at Mt. Vernon, jefferson at Monticello, Clay
at Ashland. Jackson at the hermitage, and
Harrison at West Bend. The farmers of
this country should concentrate and take the
position which belongs to them. After the
cruel war was ended, and while sadness and
DISSOLUTION yet brooded over our land, these
men at Washington conceived the idea of
forming the Grange for farmers.
Seven wears after the declaration OF princi-
ples was enunciated, a declaration that will
stand all criticism, and upon which We rest
the strength and popularity of our order lie
explained the subordinate county, State and
national oranges. He had twice had the
honor of representing the State at the Nation
al Grange. At the last meeting twents-siS
States were represented, and a more intelli-
gent body he had never seen convened.
They had the interest of agriculture at heart.
Large corporations and great wealth conseli-
date and concentrate. Merchants have their
exchanges where they consult together as to
the best way to make money. Lawyers,
doctors, mechanics and ministers have their
associations from which they reap great
benefits. Why should not farmers have the
same advantages? The large cities are the
centers of crime and ignorance, and our
safety lies in popular education and the in
telligent vote of the rural districts.
The grange is great educator, morally,
intellectually and socially. He considered
briefly the objections raised against the
grange, and answered them conclusively. He
spoke of the great work that must be done by
grangers. in the furtherance of religious,
temperance, and agricultural interest, and
closed with interesting and encouraging
statistics relative to the growth of the order
in Maine.
Gov Robbie was heard with the deepest
attention, and his remarks were frequently
interrupted with loud applause Worthy
Master Norton, of the Franklin County
Grange. was the next speaker. Mr.. ID. II.
Knowlton then read letters of regret from
prominent srangers at their inability to be
present. Messrs. Henry A. Thompson and
s X. Leland were the last speakers.
In the evening there was public reception
at Mr. Knowltons residence, and many
citizens took that opportunity to pay their
respects to the governor.
The dedication was grand success, and
and reflects great credit .on Pennington
Grange.
