" President Cleveland. John C. f
of Delaware City, repre-
ented the Changers of this State,
md George W. Stone, of Whining
on, upon the invitation of the con-
rention, read his paper on the rail
road ownership by the Government.
The resolutions are as follows
Your Committee on Good of the
Order. to whom were referred the
resolutions of Enterprise Pomona
Grange, Of California, and Hope
Grange, of New York, in reference
to the language used by the Hon. j.
Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agri-
culture, in his speech at Chicago az
A meeting of the Worlds Congress,
when he, in language unbecomlng a
gentleman, much less a high official,
no less than a member of the Presi- |
dents Cabinet, condemned and cen
sured all farmers organizations, and
specially mentioned oranges, in the
following language 20 wit; That the
most insidious and destructive foe
to the farmer is the professional far
mer, the promoter of oranges and
alliances, who, for political purposes,
farms the farmers. That he will not
succeed better by forming oranges
and alliances which generally seek
20 attend to some other business
than farming-offer the following
resolutions
"Resolved. That so far as the
Grange is concerned there is not one
word of truth in what the Honora--
BILE Secretary has said about it; but
on the contrary, it is strictly non
partisan and tends by all its teach
lings and principles to educate and
elevate the farmer to higher and no.
bier citizenship, and does in thous-
and wavs improve the farmer in his
profession by teaching the most ap.
proved methods of agriculture and
in the marketing of the produce OF
the farm, and in wisely using the
money received therefor in beautify-
ing and making the home Of the far
mer better, and increasing the intel
lligence agd happiness of the farmer
and his family.
, "Resolved. That in giving utter
ance to this calumny, the falsity oi
which the Secretary must have known
or could have known had he taken
the pains to inform himself, he has
r proven himself unworthy of the higt
J, position he holds.
"ResOlved. That the President o
the United States owes it to the far
mers of America, the largest Agri
cultural Nation in the world and thu
+ largest single interest in the United
r States, that they should have Sec
e retary of Agriculture in sympathy
l. with this great interest. We believ'
/ it to be the imperative duty Of tn
s President Immediately to take step
l. to secure a Secretary of Agricultur
J. who shall be in accord with that in
o terest.
C "Resolved. That the Master ant
t Secretary of the National Grange
= over their official signatures, trans
It nit to the President of the Unite'
# States the action of the Grange rel
y ative to the expressed contempt G
the Honorable J Sterling Morton
d Secretary of Agriculture, for all fal
o mer's organizations, and the Patron
of Husbandry especially"
y In referring to the above til
e Breeders Gazette of Chicago, No'
%, 1898, remarks:
"Secretary Morton is so proud
the scoring he gave the farming con
munity in his late Chicago speec
p that he has started the Governmer
