every state in the Cuion as long rs
these parties are allowed to predomi-
nate.
There never was truor maxim than
the one which reads. "a house divid-
ed against Itself cannot stand" An
illustration of this may be seen on
many page of history. Turn back to
the Gfties and we find the slavery
question agitating all minds i'm this
country. Both parties were divided on
the subject. In the northern states
the Wing leaders claimed to be friend
ly to the slave. while the same class
In the south was as bitterly opposed
in the other direction
The same condition Of affairs exist
ed in the Democratic party That the
foul blot of slavery could be effaceG
from the escutcheOn of our country
by either Of these parties was an alb
solute impossibilty. 1t was time for
new party, and that party was then
born. With the destruction of slavery
and with the settling of the issues
which grew out of the war the mis-
sion of the Republican party was
ended.
Then came the rise of the great
money power. On every hilltop may
now be seen the splendid palaces of
our protected millionaires, while down
in the valleys can be seen the wretch
ed novels of the Italian and Hun
garian paupers who are usurping the
rights and privileges of the American
citizen. our republic is travelling in
the same path and pointing to the
same destiny as did Tyre, Assyria,
Egypt. Greece ana Rome. with the
difference that it will not take so long
to reach the goal.
Yes, a new party is needed, and it
can come none too quickly The so
called insurgents Of both the leading
parties of the present day must unite
in the great work of its organization.
This party should represent the com
mon people-the toiling masses of this
country. This would include not only
the farmers but every man whose
bread is earned by the sweat of his
brow and who is today being despoil-
cd of his hirthright. Unless this is
soon done the fate of this country can
be as easily predicted as the fate of
Rome could be predicted when the
barbarian hosts of Alaric swept down
from the northern wilderness upon
her imperial palaces and legions,

In November, 1909, the Producers
and Consumers Exchange was incOr.
porated at Brunswick, Me-, with a cap.
ital Of $4,000, divided in shares of
dollar each. The object in making the
price of shares so small was to give
every one a chance to join with us.
1t was thought that a company COM
posed of 5000 to 10000 active men,
bers could do more good than if the
shares were placed higher and a less
number of shareholders. Last April
headquarters were opened in Boston,
and the exchange began its fight to
sell the produce of its members and
purchase the supplies needed. While
no startling results have been appar-
ent, the exchange has made a steady
growth and sold for its members some
thing like $4,000 worth of potatoes,
hay, apples, eggs, butter, poultry. etc,
iat prices in most cases a little over
the market, and bought supplies con-
sisting of fertilizer, chemicals, grass
seeds, groceries, farm tools, ETC., at
quite a saying.

For Measures, Not Parties,

In a general way am opposed to Il
farmers party. am Il firm believer
in organization and believe that party
organization honestly conducted is as
necessary as grange organization. 1t
would be impossible to attempt an or
GaniZntiOn of farmers along political
lines without getting the granCa en-
tangled within its mesheS. What The
farmers most need is Il closer organic
cation among themselves: then they
will be in Il position to drive out the
political crooks that are to be found in
all parties.
The one thing that has made it pos
sible for the grange to become Il great
power and build up n strong organiza-
ton is the fact that it has kept Itself
clear of political alliances. The grange
today has a greater influence in shap-
ing legislation than any other single
organization. 1t has become a strong
factor in creating public sentiment,
and law is nothing but public senti-
ment crystallzed or gone to seed.
Whenever any organization, the
church not excepted, allows itself to
be drawn into political fights it sounds
its own deathknell. This has been the
history of all organizations. The
Farmers alliance was for many years
one of the strongest organizations
known In this country. 1t went to
pieces when the Populst party was
organized
| could not lend my assistance to
any movement that is fraught with so
many dangers, but would rather fight
to increase the strength and extend
the lines in our own beloved Order.
Every member of our Order should
strive earnestly and persistently to get
what he believes to be best for the in
terests of the farmers in general and
agriculture in particular within the
confines of his own party.
The grange works for measures and
not for parties. 1t advocates princi-
pies and not the election of men of
any particular party. If this could be
persistently followed no new party
would be necessary.

Action Taken by Various State Oranges

A resolution was presented at the

on in the proceedings we observe that
the resolution was "withdrawn." There
might be some merit to the question

haps insurmountable objection of Tex

doubt. But we would get representa-
ton better in some respects than now.
though without increase in votes in the
state
The national grange resolution pro-
viding for open nomination of officers,
state grange approving, is having hard
wheeling Nearly every state grange
that has discussed the question has
turned it down hard. Difficult matter
to get some reforms started, isn't it?
The Maine state grange sat down"
on the practice of paying per diem and
expenses from the state grange treas
ury to persons who install Pomona
and subordinate grange officers and
will save thereby $1,000 for additional
use in deputy work. Well done!
We notice that one of the Pomona
oranges in New York state is going to
ask the state grange to provide for a
school of instruction in that county
where the unwritten work of the order
may lie eXemplifed each year for the
benefit of subordinate grange masters.
There's a good ideal If the esoteric
work is worth giving at all it is worth
giving correctly, but now it-well, the
less said the better.
Pennsylvania believes in giving all
the subordinate oranges a representa-
ton at the state grange meeting. The
master and his wife from each sub
ordinate grange constitute the voting
delegates, and this year there were
nearly 700 of these. even with many
delegates not present and number OF
oranges not represented The state
grange pays the railroad fare of these
delegates, and the subordinate grange
is expected to pay the hotel bill The
PennsylvanianS believe that the re-
suits Justify the cost But New York.
100 oranges, 1000 delegates! Whew'
We notice also that the Pennsyl-
vania grange adopted a resolution for
proportional representation in the ma
tional grange on the basis of one adj
ditiOnal vote mot delegate) for each
1000 members above the first LOCO.
We fail to see wherein there would be
any gain to proportional representation
after this method. The increased vot-
ing power would be vested in the pres
ent delegates. Suppose question
came up-as, for instance. any of the
several questions at the last meeting
of the national grange which provoked
heated discussion Is there any doubt
but that any master would have voted
his full strength Of ten votes if he had
them just as he voted for himself at
that time? Where's the gain?-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.
