THE GRANGE AND LABOR.

Proposition Made by Labor to Massa
chusetts State Grange.
A few weeks ago it was made known
by press dispatches that an official
overture had been made to the Massa-
chusetts state grange by organized Ia
Dor for combination Of interests.
Concerning it the Springfield Republic
an says:
This proposition is based upon the
assertion that the labor men are i'll
treated, that the farmers are presum-
ably so and that it would be for their
mutual interests to combine. OF course
such combination would be effective
principally in the legislature. What is
the practical proposition, therefore, is
a log roll of labor and agricultural in
terests, with the idea that the two ele-
ments would be able to secure the leg.
islation desired by each wing. Very
likely, if such a combination were TO
be formed, 1t would come very near
dominating the legislature, and the
politicians outside would have to make
terms with them.
but, as a competent observer of the
situation says, the agricultural element
is habitually conservative The labor
element is radical. 1t is question
whether any such combination would
be entered into by the farmers. In the
first place, the farmers are not trained
to combination. They are born indie
pendent and they live independently.
so much SO that combination among
themselves is difficult. They general
ly propose in the legislature to act in
dividually about as they think right.
and they are not accustomed to com
bination unless they believe it is right.
On the face of it there is no more rea-
son why the farmers should combine
with the labor men than with the man
ufacturers except upon the assumption
that they are equally downtrodden and
oppressed classes, and that is not in
Massachusetts sufficient basis for
such a combination

Baron yon Marhof was a cautious
man. When the young gentlemen of
his legation spoke to him in awed

extraordinary device that had been
seen in Washington he laughed them
away; then, possessing a curious and
thorough mind, he read an the press
clippings relating to the false Baron
Won Kissel and studied the heraldic
emblems of the Schomburgs. AS he
pondered he regretted the death of his
eminent brother-in-law, Count Ferdi

In Grange Effort.
One of the most efficient forces for
the betterment of the farmers condi-
tion today is the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry, commonly known as the
grange. No other farmers organiza-
tion compares with it in actual accom-
plishment; none claims superiority IN
aims and purposes. The founders of
the Order forty years ago issued q
declaration of purposes" which is the
chief cornerstone on which the great
grange superstructure has been erect
ed. They declare the purpose of this
organization of the farmers to be ITO
develop a higher and better manhood
and womanhood among ourselves; to
enhance the comforts and attractions
of our homes and strengthen our at
tachments to our pursuits. We pro-
pose meeting together, buying togeth-
er, selling together and in general act
ing together for our mutual protection
and advancement From these de-
clared purposes the grange has never
swerved, and today where an active
grange exists there is established po-
tent agency for the moral. social and
educational uplift of the community.
