lions, nor call political conventions,

nor nominate candidates, nor evel
discuss their merits in its meetings.
Yet the principles we teach under
lie all true politics, all true statesman
ship, and il properly carried out, vii
tend to purify the whole political at
mosphere of one country. For w
seek the greatest good to thegreates
number.
We must always bear in mind thai
no one, by becoming IL patron Of Hus
bandry, gives up that ilaienabJe
right and duty which belongs to ever,
American citizen, to take u proper in
terest in the politics Of his country
On the contrary, it Is right fol-
every member to do all in his power
legit'mately to influence for good the
action of any political party to which
he belongs. 1t Is his duty to do all
'hc can in his own party to put down
bribery, corruption, and trickery; to
see That none but competent, faithful.
and honest men, who will unliincll-
inyly stand by our interests; are nom
mated for all positions Of trust; and
to have carried out the principle
which should characterize every Pa
iron, that the Office should seek the
man. and not the mau the Office.
We acknowledge the broad princi-
pie that difference Of opinion is no
crime, and hold that "progresstoward
truth is made by difference ofopinion,
while the fault lies in bitterness of
controversy.
We desire a proper equality, equity,
and fairness; protection lor The weak.
restraint upon the Strong, in short,
justly distributed burdens and justly
distributed power. These are Amer
ican ideas. the very essence or Amer
ican independence, and to advocate
to the contrary is unworthy Of the
sons and daughters of the American
Republic.
We cherish the belief that section
alism is andof IA right should be, dead
and buried with the past. Our work
is for the present and future. In our
agricultural brotherhood and it's pur-
poses, we shall recognize no North, no
South, no East, noWcst.
1t is reserved by every Patron, as
the right of Il freeman, to affiliate
with any party that will best carry
out his principales.
OUTSIDE COOPERATION.
Cur being peculiarly a farmers
institution, we cannot admit all to
our ranks.
Many are excluded by lhenature Of
our organization,. not because they
arc professional men, or artisans, or
laborers, but because they have not IL
sufficient direct interest in tiIling the
soil, or may have some interest in
with our purposes. But we
appeal to all good citizens for their
cordial cooperation to assist in our
Efforts towards reform that we may
remove from orrmidst the |
asst vcstige of tyranny and corrup-
lion.
We hail the general desire for fra
Lcrnal harmony, equitable compron-
ses, and earnest co operation, us an
omen of our future success.
CONCLUSION.
7. 1t shall be an abiding principle
with us to relieve any Of our opprcss-
I'd and suffering brotherhood by any
means at our command. /
Last, but not least, we proclaim it
lmong our purposes to inclllcate a
proper appreciation of the abilities

'e admitting her to membership and
position in our Order.
