What it Has Done and What it is Doing. MORTIMER WHITEHEAD. The Grange organization is now twenty years old. It is no longer a theory, an experiment or an untired plan, it has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting If there had been no good in it it never coy id lmvo lasted all these years. It is the largest and best, organization farmers have ever had. Farmers’ clubs and other local societies do good, much good, but their influence is local and not widespread. The Grange covers the wjiole country. It is local, State and National in its work a single Grange Iwstrength, but “strength united is stronger.” In common with all other forward steps in the world’s history,the earlier days ot the Grange were days of struggle, of opposition in some in stances. Even fanners then opposed it, or treated it with silent contempt. “He came to its own and his own re ceived him not.” Mistakes were made in its earlier work. Its own members did not always understand it. It sometimes fell into improper bands, or was used for wrong pur poses. Still the child grew and waxed strong. “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” The Grange deserved succsss and success came. The Grange grew be cause it was right, founded on the right, on justice and on truth, it has succeeded because thousands of weary, isolated and lonesome toilers have fell the need of a bond ot union—the strength and support that conies from a union of strength ; that farmers must have an orgariza tion as well as all other classes and professions. And so, silently as the morning sun, did it arise, spreading its bright beams of hope to the far mers ail over our laud. It is now really stronger than ever before. More new Granges were organized last year than for several years before. Maine added 1,100 to its membership and 11 new Granges; New Hampshire, 700 and 9 new Granges; Massachustts more than its membership, and 10 new Granges: Connecticut increased its members 150 percent, and 16 new Granges; Pennsylvania, 1,700 members and 18 new Granges; Texas, a large in crease ot membership; California’ Origan and Idaho Territory, a good increase. It has come to stay and is now one ot the permanent institu tions of our country. As permanent as are the churches or the common schools. WIIAT IS IT DOING ? In as tew words as posible, the Grange is teaching the farmer to “mind his own buisness,” as a pro ducer, as a man and as a citizen. In a single sentence the Grange means education, It teaches the farmer that he has mind as well as muscle, brains as well as land, and that it pays him to cultivate the one as well as the other, for “knowledge is power.” It teaches the farmer not only how to be a better farmer, bow to get better returns for his labor, how to grow a crop; but how jto sell it. Not only how to earn bis money, but how to spend it to the best ad vantage. By organized effort and on business principles he knows the cost of goods and the value of his products: and how to open up the channels of trade so as to reach the best markets. Grange banks, grange rire and life insurance companies, Grange co-operative stores, cream eries and schools organized and run by farmers as a part of their business have been in successful operation i for years. Grain warehouses, grain elevators, freight lines, fruit growers I ••exchanges ’ and dozens of other or- ganizod business helps are springing up more and more in all parts of the conntry. Through organization farmers are checking the greed of giant corpora tions and monopolies. They have obtained the decisions ot the LL S. Surpreme Court on their side. The Grange has made and is making the tanner a better citizen, freeing him from the party lash and causing him to think and act for himself and cast an intelligent ballot. And it is doing this in all parties, and is so purifying and elevating all pat ties. It is securing for bin better representation in legislatures and in Congress, and getting laws passed in his interest. More than all other -causes combined, the Grange secured the passage of National and State oleomargarine laws. Jlas opposed and headed off the “free raw mate rial” tariff bill (all farmers’ products are raw material, wool, hides’ flax, hemp, tobacco, vice, sugar, etc). It headed off the bill started in the in terest of express companies to double the postage on packages by mail. It has secured experiment stations and wants more. It has and is work ing to free the farmer from unfair and unequal taxation It is educatidg him on all matters of political econ omy. The Grange has and is making the farmer and his family more social. It makes brighterand happier homes, it benefits members mentally, mor ally, socially and financially. Tem perance supported, charity is a prom inent characteristic. It makes the far mer better to himself, better to his neighbor, better to his country and better to his God. It has by none of its teachings ever made a man or woman worse, but it has made hun dreds or thousands better. Its les sons all develop the good, the beau tiful, the true. The halt has not been told of its good work, and it-can and will do more in the future. Every farmer and his family should become members. It will return dollars for every cent that it costs if its advan tages are improved. Remember it is farmers who are asking you, as a farmer, to unite with them and help them in the great work of protecting all our rights and interests. ♦ ■ An Ae;ed Pedestrian.

The following article written for the Brooklin Mngizine a few days be fore his death is among the last con tributions of Henry Ward Beecher: “Old age has the foundation of its joy or its sorrow laid in youth Ev ery stone laid in the foundation takes hold of every stone in the wall up to the very eaves of the building, and every deed, right or wrong, that transpires in youth reaches toward, and has a relation to, all the after part of man's life. A man’s life is not like the contiguous cells in a bee’s honeycomb; it is more like the separate parts of a plant which un folds out of itself, every part bear ing relation to all that autocode. That which one does in youth is the root, and all the afterparts, middle age and old age, are the branches and the fruits, whose character the root will determine. “Every man belongs to an econ omy in which he has a right to cal culate, or his friends for him, on eighty years as a fair term of life. llis body is placed in a world adapted to nourish and protect it. Nature is congenial. There are elements of mischief in it if a man pleases to find them out. A man can wear his body out as quickly as he pleases, destroy it if he will; but, after all, the great laws of nature are nourishing laws, and, compre hensively regarded, nature is the uni versal nurse, the universal ph}'sician of our race, guarding us against evil, warning us of it by incipient pains, setting up signals of danger—not outwardly, but inwardly—and cau tioning us by sorrows and by pains for our benefit. IM MODE RATE PASS [0 NS. “Every immoderate draft which is made by the appetites and passions is so much sent forward to be cashed in old age. We may sin at one end, but God takes it off at the other. Every man has stored up for him some eighty years, if he knows how to keep them, and those eighty years, like a bank of deposit, are full ol trea sures; but youth, through ignorance or through immoderate passions, is wont continually to draw checks on old age. Men do not suppose that they are doing it, although told that the wicked shall not live out half their days. “-Men are accustomed to look upon the excesses of youth as something that belongs to that time. They say that of course the young, like colts unbridled, will disport themselves. There is no harm in colts disporting themselves, but a colt never gets drunk. Ido not object to any amount of gayety or vivacity that lies with in the bounds of reason or of health ; but I do reject and abhor, as worthy to be stigmatized as dishonorable and unmanly, every such course in 3’outh as takes away strength, vigor, and purity from old ago. Every man that transcends nature’s laws in youth is taking beforehand those treasures that are stored up for his old age ; he is taking the food that should have been his sustenance in old age, and exhausting it in riotous living in his youth. Mere gayety and exhilaration are wholesome; they vi olate no law, moral or physical. EXCESS IN YOUTH. “I do not object to mirth or gay ety, but 1 do object to any man’s ma king an animal of himself by living for the gratification ot his own an imal passions. People frequently think that to require in the conduct of youth that which we expect in later life has something of Puritanism in it. Men have an impression that j r outh is very much like wine, crude and insipid until it has fermented: but when it has fermented and thrown down the lees and the scum has been drawn off, tiie great body between is sound and wholesome, and beautiful. “I am not one that thinks so. “I think that youth is the begin ning of the plant life, and that every wart or excrescence is so much en feeblement of its fruitbearing power, i do not believe that an}' man is the better for having learned the whole career of drunkenness and lust, or the dallyings or indulgences that be long to a morbid life. A young man that has gone through these tilings may be saved at last, but in after life be has not the sensibility, nor the pu rity, nor the moral stamina that he ought to have. He has through it an experience but for which his man hood would have been both stronger and nobler.” State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, S. S. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm of F. J.
