The Nature and Aims of tbe Order
of Patrons of Husbandry.
Interesting Letter from Dr. J. P. Btevens,
Deputy Ist, 2d and 3d Congressional Dis
tricts.
From tbe Albany News.]
In response to your kind invitation to publish
a few thoughts iu your valuable paper, explana
tory of the nature and alms of the Order f Pa
trons of Husbandry, I deem it necessary to occupy
but a small space in your columns.
The Order has but recently been prominently
brought before the planters of our Btate, os our
State Grange was organized in April last, with a
membership of sixteen subordinate Granges.
From its inception, however, its march has been
steadily onward, enfolding within its embrace al
most every planter who has been made properly
to comprehend its magnificent plans and designs.
And how could it be otherwise?
In almost every other fine of business, conduct
ed upon an expensive scale, associated action for
tbe mutual interest of cliques, rings and moneyed
interests, has ever been patent to the most super
ficial observer; and the apparent design of these
associations has been to wrest from the tillers of
the soil the legitimate fruits of their daily toil.
The depressed condition of the farming interests
of the South and West, shows that they are pros
trated under the weight of some fearful incubus
that keeps them fettered to the ground.
The provisions of the Western producer, in un
measured abundance, offered a revenue scarcely
sufficient to cover his taxes.
Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cotton
annually produced at the South at the closing of
each year’s operations, finds the planter more and
more impoverished.
Why this anomalous state of things?
The railroad interests combine to put such a
prohibitory tariff upon the transportation of the
Western producer’s corn as to force him to con
sume it for fuel, as an item of economy.
The Wall Street brokers unite their immense
moneyed capital for the depression of the price of
cotton, until the latter passes out of the hands ol
the producer, and is held firmly within the grasp
of the specnlator.
The consequence is that the middle-men and
brokers accumulate collossal fortunes, while the
tillers of the soil, who brave the wiuter’s frecaiug
blasts, the summer's swelling heat and tbe me
phitic exhalations from the swamps, are com
pelled to mumble the crumbs that fall from the
tables of those who fare sumptuously every day.
And whom shall we blame for our position as
pensioners upon the bounty of our superiors in
mental acumen, and even common sense ?
They have the right to employ their intellects
and their money for their own aggrandisement,
so long as they keep within tbe bounds of honesty
and truth. If we foolishly recline our heads upon
the lap of ignorance and indolonce, and sleep
while others are working, we may rest assured
that our locks will be shorn, and, like the Naza
rite of ancient times, we will wake to find our
selves helpless and poverty-stricken.
The magic wand, that converts everything that
it touches into gold, is co-operative combination
for the accomplishment of the end to be attained.
In every other department of business but that of
the agriculturist, tnis almost omnipotent agency
is properly appreciated and skillfully applied.
How is it with the planters ?
Each of us seems to thins himself a Solon in
wisdom, and a Rotchrehild in financial acumen.
But alas ! how self-deluded 1
Each carries his individual line of business
without concert of action, or co operation in the
accomplishment of any definite purpose, and con
sequently without wealth, power, influence or
success.
The insignittcant cotton worm, that can indi
vidually be crushed by the weight of one’s Anger,
is now causing us to tremble with apprehension
lest he employ his numerical strength to lay waste
our fields, and blast our brightest prospects of
golden returns.
Cannot we learn a simple lesson of wisdom by
reading a page from Nature’s open book?
We have the elements of wealth untold, would
we properly utilize them. A strength which, if
judiciously applied, would make us a power in
the land to be respected and appreciated through
all the ramifications of society.
What we need for the development of our re
sources, are wise concert of action, and intelligent
combination for mutual protection and mutnal
profit,
Now this ideal phantom which has so long per
vaded the minds of multitudes, finds an embodi
ment electrified with herculean strength, in the
Order of the Patrons of Husbandry; an offspring
of necessity, an infant in age, yet a giant in intu
ence and power.
The object of this association is to elevate the
planter socially, intellectually and financially.
The plaoter, by education and habit, is dissocial
—his daily routine of business demands his per
sonal supervision of his laborers, and the diuter
nal management of his farm.
When the day closes, he seeks, in sleep, repose
from bis labors.
From long habit and the tutelege ot his fathers,
he is firmly impressed with the conviction that
his method of conducting his business is superior
to that of bis neighbors.
He feels not the necessity for assistance, and
consequently does not seek it This routine of
business continues from week to week, and from
year to year; and the tendency of his occupation
is to contract his habiu of thought, and to a mis
taken feeling of Independence, which tends to is
olation and disregard of those agencies arising
from attrit on of ideas that leads to progress aud
reform.
Now at the monthly reunions ol the members of a
Grange, they are bronght into friendly association.
The bonds of fraternity, which unites them as
with bands of iron, and the application of which
is “gentle as a silken thread thit binds a wreath
of flowers,” infqses a spirit qf friendship andsyrn?
pathy, in all that concerns the welfare of one an
other. Unity of sentiment and unity of iuterest
inspire unity of action with mutual confidence.
The elevated code of mora]e recognised in our
government tends to soften the asperities of our
natural instincts, to cultivate in us sentiments of
benevolence and charily towards all men, and to
impress us with a sense of our mutual dependence
and obligations to extend to one another oqr sym :
pathy and assistance, in times of sickness and'ad
versity, and our congratulations in seasons of
prosperity and joy. We are also taught that as
cultivators of the earth, while we reap the golden
harvest that springs from her ever willing and
bounteous bosom, we should ever cultivate these
scions of fraternity, amity and fsith, that spring
from the tree of Truth, and that will bear for us
fruits of joy and peace in the Paradise above.
The intellectual aspects of our Qrder present to
our notice considerations of no unworthy impor
tance. You will observe that every subject which
can improve the condition of the Patrons Is
brought up for discussion. It is the duty oi tbe
Lecturer to gather food for mental study and re
flection upon all subjects connected with the art
and science of agriculture; to collect information
relating to the beneficent operations and progress
of the Order j and to invite a desire for inquiry
and mental improvement among the membership.
The spirit of amity and friendship inculcated and
practiced, induces them to present their views
freely and unreservedly, wjUjout incurring the
risk of harsh criticism. Reciprocal confidence is?
apirt* the unrestrained attrition of ideas aud elic
its truth.
Here there ji a contia ued incitement to ma "*f |
FORSYTH. GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1873.
cultivation and progress, and the Grange is con
verted into a school of agriculture aud education.
It has been urged as an objection to our Order,
that the accumulation ot immense capital and in
fluence will be likely to attract political harpies
and financial tricksters, who would endeavor to
prevent the legitimafc aims of the Association,
and use it as an agent for their individual ag
grandizement, and for unworthy objects. But
aside from tbe safeguard vouchsafed in the terms
of admittance to membership, imposed by the
Constitution, requiring the actnal cultivation of
the soil as laborer or controller of tenants; the
conservatism which has always characterized the
planter as a class, will prove powerfully antago
nistic against tbe schemes ol these subtle intrigu
ers.
The simple habits of the farmer, and his constant
and daily practice of habits ot integrity, stimula
ted by the necessities of his vocation, will impel
on his part a scrutiny of the actions of the wily
money changer, and induce caution and circum
spection in reposiDg confidence in those who are
of doubtful veracity und integrity. Moreover,
we have the advantage of all other associations
and combinations of men, in the magic influence
of woman. Her purity of thought and life, her
innate sense of justice, and her natural prescience
in reading hnman character, and intuitively arriv
ing at true and just conclusions, apparently with
out any intermediate steps of mental effort, ren
der her a powerinl helpmeet In this union for
mutnal protection and advancement. She is an
integral portion of the organisation, and not a
mere silent spectator of passing events, and her
influence is for good and conservatism.
The financial benefits arising from co-operation
among planters will probably be regarded by
many as the benefit par excellence. The iron mon
gers, the manufacturers, and the merchants de
mand a deflinite price for their wares and the rail
roads a voluntary tariff upon transportation of
passengers and freight, and they make such com
binations as enable them to enforce their de
mands.
The planter, upon whom all these various cor
porations and companies are dependent for their
existence. Is not allowed to put a price upon his
cotton, but meekly takes what is offered him. All
of the articles consumed upon his farm pass
through several intermediate agencies after leav
ing the manufacturer before they reach him. Each
agent, iu his turn, pockets his bonus lor hand
ling, and the farmer foots up the bills.
Now the object of our Association is to bring
the producer and manufacturer in direct commu
nication. It is true that no individual planter can
raise cotton enough to induce direct intercommu
cation, but, by combination and union of effort
among different Granges, this object can be ac
complished, and the profits which now inflate
the pockets of middle-men will stop many a leak
that has so effectually drained the finances of the
planter. Again, the immense patronage which,
so controlled by the Patrons, enables them to ne
gotiate transactions with dealers in groceries, and
manufacturers of mechanical implements, wag
ons etc., at the lowest possible prices at which
such products and articles of manufacture can be
sold. Indeed a duduction of 15 to 35 per cent,
from ordinary rates has been offered to the Fh
trons.
Not an insignificant item in the saving of ex
penses in the great reduction in rates of transpor
tation of freight made by our railroads in lavor of
our Order.
Iu some instances it is said to amount to 50 per
cent, below the ordinary rates.
Now after a hasty review of some of the advan
tages offered by our Order, allow me to ask if any
other Society, secret or otherwise, has ever ac
complished, for the benefit of the larmer, one half
as much as the Patrons are now doing, even in
their infancy? We cannot see anything objec
tionable in its aims and working, but everything
to commend. The Order is a nsceisi/y, without
which our descent to the lowest depths of pover
ty and ruinous disintegrations Is inevitable. This
is an age of gigantic schemes of moral corruption
that threatens to subvert the whole order of soci
ety, and muae shipwreck of our liberties.
The moral force of the yeomanry of the land, of
the plain, honest farmers united by bauds of fra
ternity, is needed to neutralize the effect of these
immense corporations that employ millions of
treasure in purchasing the consciences of legisla
tors for the purpose of carrying on the nefarious
schemes of plunder and robbery; and often at the
expense of the agriculturallnterests. And, we may
ask, what position does the farmer occupy in the
legislation of his country? With what cold in
difference to any scheme considered for the de;
velopmeut of the agricultural interests of the
States, and tor the promotion of the cause of ag
ricultural education. Now we wish our interest
represented by men who have the ability and
moral courage to maintain the cause of agricultu
ral progress, and press its claims of irresistible
force.
It is not our desire or purpose to interfere and
affect injuriously the interests of any legiti
mate corporation, company or individual, but, we
conceive it to be our duty, privilege and ability
to employ our resources lor the promotion of our
own in any honest and practicable way. And
now farmers of Southwestern Georgia and
throughout the land, we invite you to come aud
enlist under the banner of progress and reform.
Join the noble army of Patrons and employ your
moral, intellectual and material force, for over
coming the barriers which interpose your march
for deliverance from the dangers which threaten
your financial ruin.
Stimulated by a conviction of the justness of
your cause, impelled by the irresistible power of
truth, and encouraged by the suceess which has
heretofore trampieu upon all obstacles that inter
pose your progress, your march will be onward
and upward, conquering and to conquer, and gen
erations yet unborn will rise up and call you
blessed.
For all information desired concerning the for
tpation of liranges, the undersigned can be ad.
