etative! of our order
We are yet in our inf.mcy: but our
gronth i rapid. Thiucee no hae
had in planting and developing our
order. i without a parallel in the hi
lorv of ocie:ie-. Xevcr before ua-
mi--iou of the grange having juri-dic'
lion. I am convinced thai (his rule
-hotdtl be -trietlx adhered to by our
-ubordiuale granges. Considerable
the adage, "In union there i- strength." li-sali-.faction already prevails on uc-
o clearly demonst i atcd as it i- in (lie
farmers' movemeni. Though a- et in
our swaddling clothe-, our power i
being fell and recognized in (he laud.
The giant hand ol monopoly that has
grasped o tightlylhe throat of labor,
is already -lackening it- hold: and
very soon, if wc Maud firm and united,
and let wie council- prevr.il, wo will
siicceed.aiid come out more than con
jucror, averting our manhood, free
and iudeiendeul as !od de-!iued man
should be when he cicaled him. Hut
in order to accompli-h the great ob
ject of our order we inu-t be prudent.
Xot too I'xacliug. remeniljering that
other-have rights a our-elves. And
here let me eorivet a falf.e inipre ion
that prcvils to a considerable extent
among thoc outside of our order (hat
wean waging war against other cla-s-es,
and if wc should get the power we
would encroach upon (heir right-, as
we claim they have upon ours.
Hut not so, the f-irmcrsaud working
clas-c arc noble and generou-, and
will not ask for them-elves more than
they are willing to grant to oilier.-.
The cardinal principle of our order i
equal and exact justice lo all. Special
privileges lo none. Hence wc make
no light againt railroads bank", man
ufacturing corporations or other en
terprises as such, only so far as they
discriminate against us making us pay
tribute to them to an amount wholly
disproportionate to the comparative
values of money and labor.
All we ak i- equal protection wi h
other interc-ts. That labor may be
made rcmuii"rativc and honorable.
The glow III of our order since our
lasl meeting ha- been very rapid; and
the information from all section- ol
our Mate excites the admiration and
wonder of il- uio-t -anguine friend-:
whil-t llio-e oul-ide of (he order have
beheld our growth uith nudi-guised
amarcuicuL Since our la-t meeting
clo-iiig first of Augu-t, during an in
terim of -ix month (here has bccir or
ganized in State live hundred and
seventy-live -ubordiuale granges, with
a member-hip of fifteen tliou-nnd five
hundred; and -o f.tr a- we are able to
learn, (here i- a rapid iucrea-e in the
number of applications for di-pen-a-tion.
These result- have been achiev
ed through the instrumentality ol our
deputie-, and (o (hc-e faithful men,
who have done I bier work so nobly
and so ellectiveh. we owe a la-ling
debt of gratitude. And here I would
nv to I lie deputie- that mv rorrc
pondence reveals a feeling among mam
subordinate granges, that ihey do not
place that con-(rue(ion on the clause
of article .Olh. which leads "any one
interested in ngiicullural pursuits,"
as was originally de-igncd. True, the
clause is capable of varied con-truc-tions.
consequently much confu-ion
and munder-laudiug must ari-e. Dur
ing the infancy of the order when
members were I'mw, our strength feeble
and our chief aim -ocial and education
al, there was hut Utile danger in con
struing (hi- clau-e liberally. Hut now
(he-e circumslances are changed. To
lie a patron of hu-bandry is not ol
doubtful propriety, but the proudest
of the laud are knocking at our doors.
The order i- recognized as one ol" the
great purer of the land, and our
gale- are beseiged by hordes of specu
lators, small politicians, demagogues,
otlice -eekers, lawyers, etc.. who sud
denly discover that they are interested
in agricultural purstiils, but we fear
only a (he beast for his prey. The
National C range hail under considera
tion several propj-ilions bearing dir
ectly on this point: and 1 feel justified
in saving that they will determine by
law the proper con-t ruction of the con--litution.
So we may be able to keep
our gates closed against those whose
only interest con-i-ts in what they can
make out of us. To admit -uch can
only result i.seiil, and -ow seeds of
discord.
1'oru- lo decide what interpretation
shall be placed upon the word politi
cal" demands our serious and impar
tial consideration. That we are sub
stantially a unit in the opinion that the
order should in no sense become a po
litical parly; at the same time there
arc questions fundamentally all'ectiug
our material in(ercs(-, which can only
be reached through legislation. The
question of trar.-portatiou, taxation,
finance and corruption in public places
are such a come homo to the pockets
of our members, and it seems impera
tive that they be discussed in the
grange. Shall it be ruled that such
questions arc political in the meaning
of the constitution, and they be denied
the privilege of cauvassijig them; on
the ground of politics? I am fully
aware that this quc-tion belongs legiti
mately to the national grange, and 1
batislied that that body will clearly set
forth an authoritative inteiilrctation
for the guidance of members; but a
there has probably been more said up
on the subject in our own state than
any other, 1 deem it my duty lo call
your attention to this subject, hoping
thereby that we may all have a better
understanding and find all impedi
ments which our enemies arc continu
ally casting in our way to harmonious
action.
I desire to call your attention to the
business agencies, state and local, es
tablished by our executive commit tec
feinco our la-t meeting, and would urge
that our members transact their busi
ness through those ageticies as fur a
possible.
Those in charge of this, the business
department of the order, notwith-
couut of a misunderstanding of (his
section ol ourby-laws. I would there
fore recommend this and other section
of our organic law, that is to some e.
tent ambiguous, be so revised as (o be
more clearly understood by the masses.
1 would most respectfully call your at
tention to the third article of our con
stitution, which sets forth in whom the
legislative powers of (his grange shall
be vested.
At our la-t annual meeting it was
liotimt to all that our body was too
large for any practical purpose, and
(bus it. was (hat (ho article under con
sideration was incorporated. Hut ow
ing to the unprecedented growth of
our order, 1 seriously apprehend that
under this article our numbers will be
too great, and that it will be apparent
to all that such an assemblage is very
expen-ive, and too large for the care
ful consideration or rapid transaction
of bu-ines.
I would, therefore, suggest that thi
artieleiu our constitution be so revised
as to make the basis of representative
larger, and thereby avoid these
(roubles in (he future.
It is fast becoming apparent lo all
that the opposition without our gales
will be impotent to distract or disor
ganize us. This now can only be af
fected by our own internal dissontious,
and to avoid the in t roil net ion of any
question (hat might cither directly or
indirectly tend to bring about this un
happy result, should be the duty of
every good patron. Uniformity in our
ritualistic woik.as well as a strict con
formity to our constitution and by
laws, is essentially ncecary to our
harmony and prosperity. 1 would
therefore most respectfully urge it
upon those who are entrusted with
the responsible duties of organizing
and governing our subordinate gran
ges, to become thoroughly acquainted
with the standai d work and rulings of
our order. Now thai we are begin
ning lo get a clear view of the respon
sibilities and burdens (hat arc insepar
able from the producing interests of
the country, that under the sweat of
its brow, a it enriches the furrow and
the harvest fields, springs all the
wealth, ami fiom thai wealth is gath
ered ail the luxurie as well as the
colo a I fortunes that are being created
all over the land; that it pay for everj
thing, including every dollar that is
squandered, a- well as every cent that
is -loleu, and that lrom Ihi- inexorable
law of political ecouomv there is no
escape, wc can have no hesitancy in
proclaiming the fact that the interc-ts
of the farmer- in this connection de
mand, that upon the simple bill sug-ge-tive
trio of agriculture, commerce
and manufactories, the future prosper
ity of the country depends. Placing
agriculture. ::s our farmer statesman
did, in the highest uitch, warning his
countrymen that as that pursuit was
the iiur-iug mother of all arts, from
which the riches ol the earth would
be drawn, it would of course be the
subject of spoliation from all other
sources, and that in consequence of its
diversified interests and disconnected
situation, and like the great citidel of
our liberties, it should be carefully and
continually watched, othcrwi-e we
would become a nation of plumlcied
plowmen and beggared yoemanry.
Let me urge it upon jou with the
most solemn earnestness to be patient,
he circumspect, be firm, be just, so
that me may place our order on an en
during basis.
The future progress, prosperity and
usefulness of our order in Kansas, de
pends to a gieat extent iiion our action
at this session. The responsibilities
resting upon us are immense. We are
being strictly scrutinized from with
out and within our foes io mako cap- !
ital for themselves our friends hop
ingaud expecting much for the good
of the order. To this end, then, let us
cultivate every virtue, improve every
means of dill'iising knowledge, interest
and haiinony among ourselves. And,
brethren, that we may be benefitted
socially and pecuniarily, avoid every
source of bickering, and continue with
an untiring diligence to guard well the
atfairs of our noble order.
It affords me much pleasure to be
able to say that since l have held the
position as a master of your state, I
have met with the most cordial co-operation
of the ollicers and members,
thcrebv lightening mv work, which
otherwise would have been truly enor
mous. 1 am fully aware that the honor was
unmerited, that the duties imposed
could have been much more faithfully
discharged by others among you, but
it was thought proper lo entrust for a
while the a (fairs of the patrons of this
state (o my hands, and since it has
been my lot to acf as master, I have
discharged the duties to the best of
my ability. If I have erred then in
the performance of any duty, attribute
it. if you please, not to an unwilling
ness to abide by the constitution and
by-laws of the order, not to an error of
the heart, but of the head. And now
in conclusion, brethren and sisters.

of the mo-t ftrtile land in the state, which is
all taken up by actual settler, who are energetic
