i At the Three Americas Exposition Con-
vention in Washington October %, 1889,
John Trimble, Secretary of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, who was
invited to respond to the toast, Gamer
lean Agriculture, its interest in the Expo
sition," was unable to be present, and his
letter was read by Matthew Trimble He
said:
"The National Grange is early in the
field in earnest advocacy of the Exrosi-
ton. Three times its national body Off
cially Endorsed this grand and patriotic
enterprise, and on each occasion Endorsed
Washington as the proper, if not the only
place, for holding such ar exposition. The
Grange hopes at no distant day to have
erected IN the Capital Of the Nation a
temple dedicated to agriculture that will
be the pride of every American farmer !;
and to-day the farmers of our land feel
that, even laying aside patriotic impulses,
there is no place in all our broad country
where the agriculturist can obtain, by
visiting, more valuable information on
every subject that directly and indirectly
affects his interest than at the Capital"
Matthew Trimble, in speaking of the
organization, stated that it had chartered
over 10000 subordinate Oranges, with a
membership of over million souls. Its
work has spread FROM ocean to ocean, the
winds have waited the sounds to other
lands and they came back like echoes
from other shores asking that they extend
to others helping hand. 1t had burst
upon them with the suddenness of an
cratic comet, yet promised to remain
with the brilliancy and permanency of the
sun. Such was the organization that sent
their greeting that night, and said that
Washington, the Capital of our Nation,
was the place to hold the exposition of
1892.
