The organizations OF labor in the
United States are based Upon this

"During the past year Pennsylvania,
in common with mary other States, has
felt profoundly, and to her sore cost,
the throes of labor madlv seeking the
betterment of its condition, with the
redress of wrongs known TO exist, the
remedies for which are but vaguely
understood The losses inflicted by
these recurring struggles are simply
tremendous and incalculable. They
fall heavily upon all classes, and upon
none more heavily than the working.

vast sacrifices of bread and peace by
multitudes of intelligent and orderly
citizens, are not without grave cause. l
believe they will cease, and cease only
when the wage-earner is placed upon
the dead level of legal equality with
the wage-payer, at every stage and in
every particular of the several trans
actions between them. Men of conser-
vative minds have witnessed the bene-
fetal results of the progress of labor in
self-organization, with intense satisfac-
ton. Such organization, completed
and perfected, promises apparently JUS
tice, order, and repose to all the inter-
ests concerned. Why not give to it
the sanction of the law and the protec-
ton of the STATE?
incorporation may prove TO be the
simple but beneficial expedient of which
all modern society appears to be in
common search. The remedy for all
public and private wrongs must be in
the law and industry organized under
the law, and with the protection of the
law that is given to capital, would find
its own safety in the just restraints of
the law, which make the rights of per-
sons and properly sacred under our
free institutions.
''Like the men who work for daily
or weekly wages, the agricultural peo-
pie, with even less excuse for the dere-

own interests and by reason of pro-
tracted failure to employ the necessary

home, without notice. Farmers, on
the other hand, have simply neglected
their duty in this respect. The Grange
an organization erected after the beau
tiful model of our federal system, is al
most, if not quite, perfectly adapted to
their purpose. Why should they not
use it? II it be said they are widely
scattered and accustomed chiefly to
the solitary life of the fields aud the
secluded homestead, it is answered that
these circumstances furnish the very
strongest reasons for regular and stated

ed DR.. Franklin, 'for if we don't, we'll

Our forefathers believed that our
republican institutions would remain
pure aud secure so long as they rested
mainly upon the broad shoulders of an
agricultural population. "This reli-
ance, said Mr.. jefferson, 'cannot de-
ceve us as long as we remain virtuous
and / think we shall be so as long as
agriculture is our principle object,
which will be the case while there re-
main vacant lands in any part of
America. When we get piled upon
one another in large cities, as in Europe
we shall become corrupt as in Europe,
and go to eating up one another as
they do there" Alas, how narrow the
ken of the wisest of mortals! When
the eye of the patriot sage scanned
the wide expanse of our fertile territor-
les, when again he doubled them by
the splendid Louisiana purchase, he
thought he could pierce the dim future
and see them occupied by countless
millions of thrifty, Independent and in
corruptible men. who would keep the
covenant of liberty forever. But how
different the reality from the golden
dream of the prophet! Empires have
been carved from those lands, and
given TO corporations, adding new
strength to the already powerful com
binations of monopoies. The railroad
monopolist forces himself into partner
ship with every tiller of those bounti-
full fields, and takes from him well
nigh the last cent of profit before he
will consent to remove his produce.
The small farms are covered with mort
cages, and the usurer awaits his oppor-
tunity. Already, even in this the most
independent of human occupations, the
individual man is receding, and associ-
ated capital farms great tracts-thou-
