HISTORY OF THE GRANGE.
\
MECHANICS, Tradesmen, Professional men, find it both to their
pleasure and interest to unite in societies with members of
like business. These bodies are known under many names.
Trades Unions, Guilds, Boards of Trade, Convocations.
Societies of Benchers &c., but they are all alike in their
main objects, which are the advancement of their own callings and of
their own especial fortunes. The isolation of farmers is proverbial,
Living as they necessarily must at greater distances apart than the
inhabitants of cities and towns, friendly intercourse is not so con-
venient, and although their interests conflict less than do those of any
other business, and though their aims are exactly alike, they rarely
make their plans in unison, but each man lays out and ex-
ecutes his work by his own light, without advice or council from his
neighbours. Various means have been tried for overcoming this evil.
Farmers' clubs, it was thought, w^ould prove a remedy ; and they were
partially successful, but they had not those elements of union and
secrecy which are needed to hold such bodies together.
Mr. William Saunders of the Agricultural Department at Washing-
ton, and Mr. O. H. Kelly formerly a farmer in Minnesota, conceived
the idea of the Grange, i..ie first farmers' organization which ever took a
firm hold. In August of 1867 they laid their plans before several
other gentlemen connected with agriculture, some of whom, being lead-
ing members of various secret societies, aided in preparing the work.
On the 4th December, 1867, the first Grange was organized, and Mr.
Saunders was elected Master. A subordinate Grange was shortly after-
wards established in Washington as a school of instruction. During
the first year ten Granges were organized. 39 dispensations were
granted in 1869, 38 in 1870, 125 in 1871.
The National Grange met in Washington, January 8th, 1873, when
19 states were represented. Dudley W. Adams of Iowa was elected
HISTORY OF THE ORANOK.
Master. 1105 new granges were reported as having been organized
during the previous year.
During the year 1872, Eben Thompson, a Deputy of the National
Grange, was sent into the Province of Quebec to organize Granges in
connection with the National Grange. The first organized was the In-
ternational at Stanstead, Quebec. During tlie year eight other
Crianges were organized in Quebec, and one in Ontario at L'Orignal ;
but the order did not appear to flourish, although some of the Granges
had a large membership. Some of them never met, and the work did
not spread. Mr. J. F. Cass, Master of the Grange at L'Orignal, was ap-
pointed a Deputy, and he organized Grange No. 12, at Cass Bridge.
The seventh annual session of the National Grange was held in St
Louis, February 4th, 1874. The Secretary reported as follows : " At
the beginning of the year there had been established 1362 Granges, and
on the 31st of December there were 10,029, showing an increase in
the number of subordinate Granges of 8667 for the year 1873." In
the proceedings w^e find the following :
"On motion of Brother Wright, of California, Elwn TJjoinpaon, Depnty for Canada,
■was invited to make a report of the conditions and wants of the Order in the Dominion.
He said that there were ten Gran^en in Canada, some of them numbering over 10 ) mem-
bers, that they desired to establish a Dominion Grange, in order to have a fixed head-
quarters for the Order, and that they most earnestly desired to see the organization become
international. Received as information."
Mr. Thompson's permit to organize Granges in Canada having now
expired, he asked Mr. Adams, the Master of the National Grange, to re-
new it, which Mr. Adams refused to do. Nevertheless, Mr. Thompson
determined to return to Canada and organize what Granges he could.
Coming to London, Ontario, he called upon Mr, Weld, the editor of
the Farmer^ Advocate and explained to him and to several others, who
afterwards became members, that ten Granges were already organiaed
and that the Executive Committee of the National Grange had agreed
that 80 soon as fifteen subordinate^ Granges were organized a Domin-
ion Grange would be established which would be financially indepen-
dent of thfe National Grange. As evidence of theh- feeling toward the
Canadian Grange he referred to the passage above quoted from the
Annual Report.
Feeling that the Grange was just what was needed, and that as a
Canadian Institution it would succeed, Mr. Weld and those about him
did their utmost personally and through the press to aid Mr. Tliompson.
The great hinderance to immediate success was the fact that the Grange
i

in Canada was as yet subordinate to tlie National Grange, and had to
send their fees and dues to the United States. This had to be overcome
by repetitions of the promise of freedom after the organization of fifteen
Granges.
WH. BArSDBBS, BS4., FBST MABTU OF KATIOSAL OBAITGK.
The work was pushed forward as fast as possible. Granges were
organized, and the money and applications sent to the Secretary of the
National Grange, and lie, although aware that Mr. Thompson was not
authorized to organize Granges, accepted the fees and sent boxes and

\
dispensations, thereby making the National Grange responsible for
Mr. Thompson's actions and promises.
Several members of the order wish'-ig further guarantee that the
15 Granges, when formed, might organize themselves into an independ-
ent Dominion Grange, wrote to the Master and Secretary of the National
Grange, but could receive no satisfaction, the Master never replying, and
Secretary only stating that he had referred the letter to the Master.
These delays and disappointments alarmed many of the Canadian
members. The Delaware Grange sent out letters to various Masters,
asking if they would meet to consider matters. On the 23rd of May,
1874, Mr. Thomas W. Dyas, Secretary of Forest City Grange, pro-
posed to his Grange that they should invite the Masters, Lecturers,
and Secretaries of all Granges in Canada to meet them in their rooms,
in London, on the 2nd "of June, 1874, to organize a Dominion Grange
The motion was heartily adopted, and notices of the meeting were
immediately sent out, and on the 2nd of June, 1874, the following
members met in Forest City Grange Ilooms :
S. W. Hill, S. WatlP, E. Scott, M. Gardner, Jobn Elliott, H. Bruce, Thomas W.
Dyas, A. Gilford, Dr. Hanson, William Weeks, Thomas Weeks, James Burgess, W. L.
B.'own, Adam Nichol, William Hoskin, A. K. Spencer, W. Pemb^-rton Page, James
Armstrong, Thomas Dougherty, D. Ferguson, H. Weld, Henry Anderson, H. Payne,
Henry Palmer, and William Uole— 25 in all.
The Grange being opened, Mr. Thomas W. Dyas was called upon to
give his reasons for calling the meeting. He explained the position
of affairs substantially as above set lorth, and showed that the success
of the Grange in Canada depended upon its independence, financially
and otherwise, from the National Grange. In conclusion he moved
the following resolution : " That the time has now come when it is
necessary to establish a Dominion Grange."
The question was discussed during the whole afternoon, many mem-
bers expressing a fear that the Grange in Canada would not be strong
enough to stand alone. FinaUy Mr. William Cole moved the follow-
ing amendment, which was adopted : —
"That the time has come when it it necetsaij to establish a Dominion Grange ; he
it therefore reoolved, that we hereby consider ourselves a Dominion Grange ; that we
apply to the National Grange to organise us as such ; that in the metntime we grant
dispensations to subordinate Granges until a final separation from' the United States is
effected. "
Mr. S. W. Hill, of Ridgeville, was elected Master, and Mr. Thomas
W. Dyas, Secretary. On the 3rd June the Grange again assembled
and adopted a Constitution and By-laws and Declaration of Principles.
HISTORY OF THE GRANGK.
They arranged to hold their first regular annual meeting in Toronto,
on the 22d September, 1 874, to be composed of two delegates from
each subordinate Grange in the Dominion, and the officers just elected.
It will be observed from the tenor of the resolution passed that the
members acknowledged the National Grange as the parent institution,
and looked up to it for organization and guidance. They felt that in
making the temporary organization they were only doing as they were
authorized by the promises of the deputy of the National Grange.
The Master and Secretary were ordered to correspond with the Master
of the National Grange, and ask hira to arrange for the permanent
organization at the meeting to be held in Toronto. After the meeting
was over and the members separated, the troubles commenced. The
Secretary found himself with a great deal of M'ork to be done, printing
to be prepared, organization to be pushed forward — and not one cent in
the Treasury. To add to all this trouble several of the Granges repudi-
ated the action of their delegates, notably Georgian Grange, which
refused to acknowledge the Dominion Grange. The Deputy of the
National Grange also felt it to be his duty to oppose the Dominion
Grange. Mr. Hill, however, succeeded in arranging matters with the
deputy and other Granges. By showing a bold front and heartily endors-
ing the Dominion Grange, he frustrated the ettbrts of the opposition; and
Mr. Dyas, feeling sure of the ultimate success of the Grange, advanced
the money to carry on the work. The next difficulty which presented
itself will be best explained by the following circular, sent to the Mas-
ters of Canadian Granges : —
LovDOX, Ont., Aagust 11th, 1874.
Dear Sib and Bkotheb, —
Acuording to instrnetiona of the Dominion Grange, a eopy of oar reAolution, separat-
ing ourselTes from the National Orange, and asking fur recognition from them of the
Dominion Orange, as an independent bodj, accompanied hj a letter stating our reasons
for this action, and asking their faTOorable consideration, was sent to the Master of the
National Orange. No notice has been taken of it by the National Grange or its officer^;
and within a few days a Circalar has been sent to the Masters of tonu of the Canadian
Granges, ordering them to meet at London on the 18ih day of August, 1874, to form a
State Grange.
As the Dominion Grange is now in full working order, and succeeding beyond eren
our anticipations, and as we hare already organised a large number of Subordinate
Granges, it is impossible for us to take any notice of the above-mentioned circular.
Many of the Subordinate Granges, organized under the National Orange, have passed
resolutions severing their connection with the National Grange, and giving iu their
adhesion to the Dominion Grange. , „„ , , ,
The great majority of the Granges in Canada fully approve of our work, and are
determined to stand by the Dominion Grange, therefore we leel called upon to state that
the Dominion Grange is an estadlmhbd fact, and will so continue.

Master Dominion Grangt, P.ff. Secretary Dominion Orange, P.H.

HISTORY OF THE GRANGE.
I '>
A meeting of the Executive Committee was also called for the 18th
August, to be ready to take such action as they might deem necessary.
The Master of the National Grange and of the Michigan State
Grange arrived on time, but only one. Master obeyed their call, all tho
others remaining true to the Dominion Grange ; so the State Grange
was not organized. In order to show that there was no ill-feeling the
Executive Committee invited the Master of the National Grange and
his colleague to lunch, and all parties separated in apparently good
humour.
On the 22nd September the Dominion Grange met in the Agricul-
tural Hall, Toronto, 73 members being present. Forty-four subordi-
nate Granges were then in existence, being an increase of 20 since the
first meeting.
Many of the members had been inrtructed by their Granges to
oppose the Dominion Grange, therefore trouble was anticipated, and the
first motion made was one calling upon Mr. Dyas for the history of
the Dominion Granges and reasons for separation. The desired expla-
nations being given, it was moved and carried unanimously, " That
the statements be received as perfectly satisfactory." This ended all
opposition in the Dominion Grange. A great deal of work was done
at this meeting, which lasted two days.
Mr. S. W. Hill was appointed as a delegate to go to the annual
meeting of the National Grange, and ask for recognition and fraternal
relations for the Dominion Grange. He did so, but did not succeed in
his mission. He received much kindness from individual members of
the National Grange, especially from Mr. William Saunders, the
father of the Order ; but he was opposed by others who succeeded in
preventing the National Grange from taking favourable action. The
second annual meeting of the Dominion Grange was held in Toronto,
on the 27th, 28th and 29th of October, 1875. The Committee on Cre-
dentials reported 62 members present entitled to votes. 246 Granges
were reported as organized up to date, and there was a balance in the
treasury of $1656.40. Mr. S. W. Hill was re-elected Master. The
Secretary, Mr. T. W. Dyas, finding the work too much to attend to in
connection with his own business, was compelled to decline re-election»
and Mr. \V. Pemberton Page, of Fonthill, was elected in his place.
Mr. Chase, Master of the New Hampshire State Grange, and member
of the National Executive Committee, who had taken some interest in

U
the progress of the Grange in Canada, was present on the invitation of
Mr. Hill, and addressed the meeting. Mr. Hill also delivered his
annual address which, like all his m ork, was carefully prepared and
good in every point. Various alterations were made in the Constitu-
tion and By-laws, which the working of the Grange had shown to be
necessary.
The ninth session of the National Grange was held in Louisville,
Kentucky, on the 17th November, 1875. Mr. Chase, of New Hamp-
shire, read the following report of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
which was adopted : —
*' Your Committee on Forei^ Relations beg leave to present the (ollowin; report tor the ooosiden-
tion of the National Orange :
" The great need of the agriculturist is association, combination, and co-operation.
" By association we bring together the various individuals who, separately and isolated, are unknown
to each other in the strict sense of knowing each other's desires, vants, and aspirations. Isolated by
tbeir occupation, which in many other cases tends to bring people together. High hills, impassable
ravines, and broad rivers often separate and make as strangers those who till the soil.
" Our occupation requires that we should cultivate our lands with diligence, to plant our seeds in
dne season, to care for the growing crops at all times, and to harvest them when ripened for the store-
hnnse.
" In another portion of this wide world, another people, with different habits, manners, customs,
Mid lanfTjage, are labouring on with like cares, hopes, and results.
" We associate together for one common purpose, and the stranger in a foreign land may do the same.
There is no hostility. There may be no special reason for association among people so different in
ttiought, feelings, and language. Education, religion, government, and social relations are distinct and
marked by insurmountable barriers.
" The labours of the missionary are ever fruitful and beneficial when we send him out to proclaim
glad tidings of good-will toward ail. Wo may benefit our fellow-men not by bringing them to us by con-
straint, but by showing them how to benefit themselves, and by inviting them to Join with us in labour-
tag and toiling on to reach that eternal 'deld within whose gates we can unite in cultivating the mind and
gathering the good seed of a well-spent life.
" Thus may we, the Patrons of Husbandry, send out our chosen Order to many nations who in
various tongues may be recognized as true Patrons.
" We may journey from nation to nation, and ever find those who will give us the Patron's grip, who
will aidus in distress, and be ever ready to shield our sisters from harm.
" While we may not understand or reco};niz8 thb language of our Ritual in a foreign tongue, that
ever-ready bond of union may be found to unite us in life, and in death to close the moistureless eye and
to pay the last tribute of respect to our lifeless remains.
" Let us, while we acknowledge the right of all people of the earth to be free and independent in
every respect, always be found ready to recognize fraternal relations among all who are maintaining the
rules and regulations of our Order, ordained and established by proper authority.
" Let us respect the rights of others as we claim respect from them, and never, while journeying
along the p..wiway of life, cast stumbling-blocks in the way of others, nor attempt to remove our neigh-
bour's landmarks.
" Let us open wide our gates and admit all who, arrayed in proper garments, seek our fold with an
honest desire to emulate us in doing well ; and when we enter that blissful abode whore friendship and
fraternity are eternal, may we receive that welcome ]>laudit, ' Well done, good and faithful servants.'
" Your committee would recommend the adoption of the following resolutions :
" Resolved, That the Secretary of the National Orange is hereby instructed to recognize only such
deputies in foreign countries as may have been duly appointed by the Worthy Master of the National
Orange.
" Resolved, That when fifteen Subordinate Oranges shall have been duly organized in any foreign
eountry, and the same shall have been organized as a foreign State Orange, and such organization shall
have been duly certified to the Secretary of the National Orange, the Secretary shall receive no mora
iqjplications for dispensations for Subordinate Oranges within the jurisdiction of such foreign Orange.
" Resolved, That the National Orange will recognize lawfully-established Oranges in foreign coun-
tries, and that the hand of friendship will always be extended to all true Patrons.
" Resolved, That foreign Oranges, lawfully established, are fraternally invited to send accredited
representatives to the National Orange, or appoint suitable Patrons resident in the United States to bear
from such foreign Oranges tokens of good-will and amity, and to maintain forever such fraternal relations
as will cement us in the bonds of friendship, and to per]}etuate in essentials Unity, In non-essentials
liberty, and in all things Charity."
Toward the end of the session Mr. Chase brought in p.nother report
which was adopted as follows :

HISTORY OF THE GRANGE.
1
" Your Committee on Forel^ Relations, to whom was referred so much of the report of the Execu-
tive Committee as related to the condition of the Order in the Dominion of Canada, have had the matter
under consideration, and beg leave to make the following report :
" Prior to February 4, 1874, eleven Subordinate Oranges were organized in Canada by a deputy of the
National Grange, and subsequently and before June 2, 1874, fifteen Subordinate Oranges were organized
without authority.
" The application and fees therefor were received and the dispensations were issued by the Secretary
of the National Orange.
"\Vhen such Subordinate Oranges were organized representations were made that the subordinate
Granges in Canada should have an organization separate from and independent of the National Grange.
" llie Patrons in Canada, relying on the aforesaid representations, on the second day of June, 1874,
organized the Dominion Grange of Canada, fouudcd mainly on the constitution, by-laws, rules, and
regulations of the National Grange.
'' The Dominion Grange has continued to increase in a rapid manner, and now contains within its
jnrisdictior. about two hundred and fifty Subordinate Oranges and many Division Oranges, and under a
wise and careful supervision, is now in a prosperous condition.
" Since the organization of ;,he Dominion Orange, a few Subordinate Oranges have been organized
by deputies of the National Orange, and applications and fees therefor have been received and dispensa-
tions Issued by the Secretary of the National Orange.
" Yoiu: conunittce would recommend the adoption of the following resolutions :
" Retolved, That the Worthy Master of the National Grauge be requested to appoint no more
deputies to organize Subordinate Oranges within the Jurisdiction of Dominion Orange of Canada.
"Retolved, That the Secretary of National Orange be instructed to receive no more applications for
dispensations for Subordinate Oranges within the jurisdiction of Dominion Orange of Oanaaa.
'' Which is respectfully submitted."
Since the meeting of the Dominion Grange work has progressed far
beyond the expectation of the most sanguine ; and what is even better,
old Granges are reported as working successfully and with profit to
their members. /
The Executive Committee have held three meetings, two at Toronto
and one at Brantford, and will hold the next at Toronto. The Master
has had his hands full, looking after the interests of the Grange, decid-
ing knotty questions, and attending committee meetings, both of the
Grange and of Parliament. The new Secretary, Mr. W. Pemberton
Page, has had to devote his whole time to the work, and has made
himself many new friends by his promptness in correspondence and
energy in carrying out the work.

The certificate should not be delivered until the Share shall be paid for,
in cash, to the Treasurer.
The Secretary and Treasurer should each keep a record of the certificates,
together with all transfers of the same.
The Directors should then appoint one or more of their number to make
such purchases for the Association, as the Directors may authorize, and
should also select suitable persons to act as salesmen, and should assign to
them such duties and compensation as the Directors may think fit.
The Directors should have printed on good, stifi* pasteboard a number of
trade-checks, about as follows for each $1000 of anticipated business :
1 cent, 3000 ; 10 cents, 1000 ; $ 1.00, 400

The trade-checks should be from two to three inches long and about one
inch wide.
It is well to have the trade-checks of different colors : 1, 2, and 5 cents,
white; 10, 25, and 50 cents, yellow; $1.00, red; $5.00, blue; and $10.00,
gray.
Any other trade-checks may be issued to coiTespond with the currency.
Rules should be established to regulate the times for changing the smaller
trade-checks for those of larger denomination, and to declare that none but
$1.00, $5.00, and $10.00 checks should be placed on the check-books for
the purpose of dividends, of pi-ofits, or of interest on capital.
Check-books should be furnished for each member, in which should be
entered the number of Shares standing in his name, the amount of purchase
for each quarter, the dividend of interest on Shares, the dividend of profit
on purchases for the quarter, and the amount withdrawn.
The check-book should also contain the times and places of the meetings
of the Association and of the Directors, the times for changing the trade-
checks and for entering the checks on the check-book, and for leaving the
check-book for the purpose of calculating the dividends of profits and for
the withdrawal of dividends, and such other information as may be deemed

THE MANAaSMENT OF SUBORDINATE ORANGES.
[O a well ordered and successful suboi'dinate Grange there are cer-
tain elements! and qualities quite indispensable. Notably among-
these is a perfect knowledge of the objects of the Order, and a
thorough education in the work of the Grange room. These, coupled
with prompness and regularity of attendance, unity of action, and
determination of purpose, will ensure success.
Upon the Subordinate Grange depends, to a large extent, the
success of the whole scheme, as each one is an essential part of the one great
whole, hence the necessity of each and all being thoroughly educated in the
principles of the Order and mode of conducting the work, as uniformity
and concert of action are necessary adjuncts to its prosperity. " To those
who read aright, history proves that in all ages society is fragmentary, and
successful results of general welfare can be secured only by general effort.
Unity of action cannot be acquired without discipline, and discipline can-
not be enforced without significant organization ; hence we have a ceremony
of initiation which binds us in mutual fraternity as with a band of iron ;
but although its influence is so powerful, its application is as gentle as that
of the silken thread that binds a wreath of flowers." Any new fraternity
has much to learn before it can be said to be well founded and established,
particularly so is this the case among members who have never been con-
nected with any other similar society. Among farmers we find many who
from the peculiarities of their business, their isolated position, have not had
opportunities of social intercourse and connection with societies established
for the promotion of social and material advancement of their members.
Hence the necessity of more diligent study and labor to become familiar
with the work in hand.
In newly organized Granges the first duty of members should be to study
to become familiar with the works of the ritual. Its teachings are elevat-
ing and instructive lessons, and to become well versed in the proceedings
is necessary, that we may conduct our meeting, particularly the cermony of
initiation, properly and without hesitation. After becoming familiar with
this part, the business, or material part of the work, will present itself ;
and in this we should be governed by an enlightened wisdom ; not that
principle that requires all advantages to be on our side, but a broad and
liberal principle that advocates equal rights ; treats with respect and ac-
knowledges the necessity of every legitimate calling. We have been labor-
ing under difficulties in the past from our lack of organization and conse-
quent inability to compete with other callings, and to prevent the encroach-
ments of organized capital, which in many cases had proved giant monopo-

We also need to earry out oin- business agreements and contiacts in good
faith, such jus will inspire confidence in the minds of those with whom we
deal, showing that we mean to practise what wo profess.
Each member 'pon admission to the Order a.ssume8a responsibility, and
should consider iiim.self bound to assist in carrying out its principles, not
by preco[)t alone, but by practice, by uniting in heart and hand, shoulder-
ing a part of the loa<l, and carrying it firmly forward. Unless this is done
those who are placed in positions of trust, as leaders, will be powerless to
effect anything of importance. It cannot be expected that u[)on adraisaion
to the Grange matoi'ial blessings innumerable will flow in upon you with-
out individual effort. With every position there is a work and responsi-
bility ; when you accept membei'ship in the Grange you must accept a
share of the work, otherwise you must not expect to reaj) a share of the re-
wards. " He that will not plough by reason of the cold shall beg in the har-
vest and have nothing." Important as this is in regard to our financial in-
terests, it will apply with still greater force to our social and educational
interests, which are of greater importance, and will eventually overshadow
the other.
These are destined to grow and expand, and with their growth to exert
a powerful influence for good amongst us. It is now becoming well under-
stood that education, intelligence, brains are as necessary on the farm as in
any other branches of business. And in proportion to the spread of educa-
tion, as the minds of raembei's become enlarged by association and contact
in the Grange, our material interests will be advanced.
To keep our subordinate Granges in a healthy condition we need to make
them interesting and instructive. Every Grange should be supplied with
plenty of good reading matter. The funds of a Grange cannot be better
spent than in the purchase of a good libraiy, in the selection of which we
do not want to be confined entirely to agricultural works, but let selections
consist in part of history and science. Encourage the young to read and
think. Cultivate intellect, as this is the secret of our future prosperity and
position. Encourage them to speak, and discuss all -subjects brought up for
investigation in the Grange. When the members freely interchange their
ideas and opinions on all subjects, interest is awakened in the meetings.
There are many questions of importance to farmers that can profitably be
discussed, and in which every member should take part, say a few words,
and not sit lazily looking around for some one else to speak, and then go
away complaining because the meeting was not interesting.
No one should allow himself to be instructed in the Grange, or benefitted
by its business transactions, without being willing to assist in return. Mem-
bers should always be willing to take part in any discussion or work, and
speak upon any subject when called upon to do so. This will serve to
strengthen the Grange, and at the same time be the means of strengthening

then, when called upon to fill any })08ition in such boilioH, they will bo ublo

ProinptncHB and regularity, being neccHwiry adjvincts to nucceHs in any un-
dertaking, are none the less hq in the Orange, and it should bo made a duty
required of every member to be prompt and upright in all his business trans-
actions, and to be prompt to the time and regular in attendance at all our
meetings. Nothing adds more to the interest and strcngtli of a Urango
than to see all the members in their places at the time appointed, and if
possible be there every time. To be an hour or two behind the time is to hurry
through the work in a reckless and unsatisfactory manner. Much depends
upon the Master in this res[)ect as the acknowledged head. If he is u live,
energetic man, prompt in his attendance, he will soon establish a prompt
action on the part of the members. A man who is always behind time will
never succeed; neitlier will a Grange if the members disregard the time of
meeting, and are not regular in their attendance, for while it has a weaken-
ing influence upon the Grange, it strengthens opponents, and gives them a
reason to believe what they would like to see, — a failure. But this cannot
be. An order founded upon the principles that ours is founded upon cannot
fail. By remaining true to ourselves, by cultivating promptnens, unity, and
business-like regularity, by lesisting outside influences tending to divert our
minds from the main object, and especially by avoiding political complica-
tions, the Grange can safely and successfully accomplish its mission.
WHAT IS THE GRANGE?
Many people are of the opinion that the Grange is simply a society for
making money by buying cheap and selling dear, and nothing more. This
is a gieat mistake. The Society was organized for other and nobler pur-
poses than merely trading. It is a body of farmers, who meet together for
the purpose of discussing such subjects as materially affect themselves, to
consider their mutual interests and how they may be best aided, to work
unitedly where any good thing is to be done or any evil prevented. The
scope of their work is large, and if in performing some particular portion
of it they tread on somebody's corns, that part of their work assumes the
greatest proportions in somebody's eyes. This is why business men can see
nothing in the Grange but the trading idea.
