Nature and Abus of the Order *f P*t
rons of Husbandry.
Interesting Letter From Dr. J. P.
Stevens. Deputy Ist, 2nd
and 3rd Congressional
District.
Ia responce to your kind invita
tion to publish a few thoughts in
your valuable piper, explanatory
of die nature and aims of trie Order
of Patrons of Husbandry, I deem it
neces-ary to occupy but a s nail
space in your valuable columns.
* The Order has but very recentiv
been brought prominently before
the planters of our Slate, as our
Siate Orange was organised in April
last, with a membership of sixteen
subordinate Granges.
From its inception, however, cn>
folding within iis embrace almost
every planter who has been made
properly to comprehend its benefi
cient plans and designs.
And how could it he otherwise T
In almost every other line of bu
-B;ness, conducted upon an expen
sive scale, associated action for the
the mutual interest ol cliques, rings
and moneyed interesis, has ever
been patent to the mind of the
most supetficial observer ; and the
apparent design ol Ihese associations
has been so wr< st from the tillers of'
ihe soil the legiiimate liuits of their
daily toil.
The depressed condiiion of the
firming interests ol the South and
West, shows that tiiey are prostra
ted under the weight of some fear
ful incubus ilmt keeps them fettered
to ihe gr. und.
The provisions ol the W> stern
pioducer, m unmeasured abun
dance, offered a revenue scarcely
sufficient to cover his t ix< s.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
wnith of cotton annually produced
at the South, at the closing of each
year’s operations, finds the planter
more and more impovi risked.
Why this anomalous slate of
tilings ?
The railroad interests combine to
put such a proliibi'ory tariff upon
the transportation of the Western
producer's corn as to force him 10
consume it for fuel, as an item of
economy.
The Wall Street brokers unite
their immense moneyed capital for
the depression ot the price of cotton,
un il the Inter passes out of the
bands of the producer, and is hell
flim'y w ithin tire grasp of the spec
ul itor.
Toe consequence is that the mid
dle men and brokers accumulate
collossal fortunes, while the tillers
of the soil, who brave the winter’s
freezing blasts, the summer’s swel
tering heat an I the mephiuc exha
lations frorn the swamps, are com
pelled to mumble the crumbs that
i'ali from the tables of those who
hire sumptuously every day. And
whom shall we blame for our po
sition as pensioners upon the bounty
of our superiors iu mm al acumen,
and even common S' use ?
They have t lie right to employ
their intellects and their money for
their own aggrandizement, so long
usihvy.kicp within th; bounds ol
honesty and truth. If we foolishly
recline our heads upon the lap of ig
rorance and indolence, and sleep
while others are working, we may
re-t assured that our lacks will be
,-liorn, and, like the Niz rite of nn
ci'-nt times, we will wake to find
our.-elves helpless and poveity
siricken.

every tiling that it tom lies into gold

Cannot we learn a simp'e lesson
yf wisdom by reading, a page from
Naiurtt’s open book i
We have the e'emerits’ f\v al fi
unt'il I, won dwe niopeily utilize
them/-
We have strength which if judic
iously applied,, would make us a
power in ilie land, to be respected
ami apprecihtcAl through alltlie ram

,\ow,' tb>* irieffD phantom which
bus-Mlong pedalled the niinds of
multitudes, finds an embodiment
electrified with herculean strength,
in the Order of the Patrons of Hus
bandry ; the offspring of necessity,
an inlant in age, yet a giant in infiu
ence and power.
The object df this Associ riion is
to elevate the planter socially, in
tellectually and financially.
The planter, by education and
habit, is dissocialy—his daily rou
tine of business demands his person
al supervision of his laborers, and
the diuternal management of his
farm.
When the day closes, he s eks in
sleep repose from his labors.
From long habit and the tutcrage
of his fathers, he is firmly impressed
with the conviction that his method
of conducting his business is superi
or to that ol any of h s neighbois.
He feels not the necessity for as
sistance, and consequently does not
seek it. This routine of business
continues from week to week, and
from year to year ; and the tenden
cy of his occupation is to contract
his habits of thought, and to a mis
taken fee'ing of independence, which
tends to isolation and disiegard of
those agencies arising from attrition
of ideas that leads to progress and
reform.
Now, at ilie monthly reunions of
the members of a Grange, they are
brought into friendly association.—
The bonds of fraternity, which
unites them as witli bands of iron,
and the application of which is as
“gentle as a silken thread that binds
a wreath of flowers,’’ infuses a spirit
of mutual friendship and sympathy,
in all thnt coocerns the welfare cl
one another. Unity of sentiment
and unity of interest inspire unity <>f
action and mutual confidence. Ihe
elevated code of morals recognized
iu our government, tends to s >ften
i he asperativts our natural instincts,
to cultivated) us sentiments of benev
olence and charity towards all nu n,
and to impress us with a sense ofour
mutual independence and obligations
to ex'end to one another our sym
pathy and assis ance, in times nf
sickness and adversity, and nur con
gratulations in seasons of prosperity
and joy. We are also taught that
as cultivators ol the earth, while we
reap flic golden harvest that springs
from her ever willing and bounte
ous bosom, we should ever cu'tivate
these cool scions of fraternity, amity
and faith that spring troin the tree
<>f Truth, and that will bear for us
fmi sos joy and peace in the Para
dise above.
The ihlellec'ual aspects ol our Or
der presents to our notice consider
ations of no unworthy importance.
You will observe that every subject
which can improve the condition of
the Patrons is brought up for diss
uus-ion. It is the duty of the Lec
turer to gather food for mental study
and reflection upon all subjects cons
netted wii'h the art and science ol
agriculture ; to collect information
relating to the benifieeiit operations
and progress of the Order;, and in
vite a desire for inquiry and ment and
improvement among the m> mber
•sliip. The spirit of am.ty and
friendship inculcated and practiced,
induces them to pres-nt their views
freely and unreservedly, without in-,
curring the risk ot harsh criticism.
Reciprocal confidence inspires the
unrestrained attrition of ideas and
elictstimh.
Here there is a continued incite
ment to mental cultivation and prog
ress, and the Grange isconverted into
a. school i f agriculture and educa-
It has been Urged as an objection
to oifr (Inter, that the accumulation
of immense capital and influence
will be likely to attract political
liarpi's and financial tricksters, who
would endelvor to preterit the legit
iffiate alias df the Association, and
use it as an agent for their individ
ual aggrandizement, and lor unwor
thy objects. Hut aside fr mi the
safeguard vouchsafed,in' the terms
of admittance to’ ''membership im
posed by the Constitution, requiring
the actual cultivation of the soil as
laborer or c ntroller of tenants ; the
conservatism which h m always
chumcteriieif the pi niter as a cl Css,
will prove powerfully antagonistic
agaiu-t the schemes of these subtle
intriguers
The simple habits of the farmer,
and his constant and daily practice
of habits of integrity, stimulated, by
the necessities of his vocation, will
impel] on Iris part a scrutiny of the
actions of the wily money-changer,
and induce caution‘and circumspec
tion in repo ing confidence in those
who aip of doub'fiil veracity an 1
iuteg iti.-.* Moreover, we have the
iiflv an'age’of rill associations
and combinations of men, in the
tn»gj£ influence' of women, Her
puritv "il tlrouglit and fife, her in
uue fg'juse ni jusuce, and ligr natu
ral JUT. science in trailing human
character, and intui ively ar iving
at true and just conclusions, app ir
uritly without any intermediate s eps
of niyntaLeff rt render her a power
ful help-meet in this jmiop i>r mu
tual protection and advancement.
She is an integral portion of the or
ganization, and not a . rn<re silent
spectator of passing events and her
influence is for good and conserva
tism. . ...
The financial benefits arising from
co-operation among plant: rs, ivill
probably he regarded by many as
the benefit par excellence. Tbe iron
mongers, the manufacturers, and
the merchants demand a definite
price for their wares and tbe Rail
roads a voluntary tariff upon the
transportation of passengers and
freight, and they make such combi
nations a*enable them to enforce
their demands.
The planter upon whom all these
various corporations 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 the articles co i
sumed upon his farm pass through
several intermediate agencies after
leaving the manufacturer before they
reach him. Each agent, in his turn
pockets his bonus for handling, the
farmer so its up the bills.
Now the object of our Associa
tion is to bring the producer and
manufacturer in direct communica
tion. It is true that no individual
planter can raise cotton sufficient to
induce direct inter-communication,
but, by combination and union of
effort among diffeienl Granges, this
object can be accomplished, and the
profits which now inflate the pock
ets of middlemen will stop many a
leak that has so effectually drained
the finances of the planter. Again,
the immense patronage which s>
cumrolled by the Patrons, enables
them to negotiate transactions with
dealers iu groceries, and manufactu
rers of mechanical implements,
wagons, &c., at the lowest possible
prices at which such products and
articles of manufacture can be sold.
Indeed a deduction of 15 to 25 per
cent, from ordii ary rates, lias been
offered to the Patrons.
Not an insignificant item in the
saivng of expenses in ihe great re
duction in rates of transport tion ol
freight made by our Railroads in fa
vor of our Order.
In some instances it is said to
amount to 50 per cent, below the
ordinary rates.
Now after a hasty review of some
of the ad amages offered by our or
der, allow me to ask if any other s >-
eiety secret or otherwise, fins ever ac
complished. fbr rim benefit of the far
mer, one-half ns much as the Puiro. s
are now doing even in the r infancy ?
We cannot see anything really ob
jectionable in its aims of working,
but everything to commend. The
order is a neces-ity, without which
our decent to the lowest depths of
poverty ti"d ruinous disintegrations,
is inevitable. This isan age of gi
gantic schemes of moral eomiption
that threa'ens to subvert the whole
order of society, and make shipwreck
of ou' liberties.
The moral farce of the yeomanry
of the land, of the plain, honest
farmers united by hands of
fraternity, os needed to neutralize
the dice sos these immense corpo
rations i hat employ millions of treas
ure in pur, basing the ccnsciencies of
Legislators for the purpose of curry
ing on i he nefarious schemes of plun
der and robbery, and often at the
expense of ihe agricultural interests.
And, we may ask, what position
does the farmer occupy in the legis
lation of the country t —With what
cold imliffemnce is any scheme con
sidered, for the developement of the
agricultural interest of the State-,
and for th'> promotion ot the cause
of agricultural,education., Now- we
wish onr interest represented by
metl who have the ability and the
moral courage to maintain the cause
of agricultural progress, and press its j
claims of irresistible force.
Ii is not our desire or purpose to
interfere and affect injuriously <lie
inteiests of any legitimate corpura
tion, company or individual, hut, we
conceive it to be our duty, privilege
afari:ability to empl >y our resources
for tbe promotion of our own inter
ests in any fair, honest and practic
able way. And now, farmers of
Southwestern Georgia and through
out the land, we invito you to come
and enlist under the banner o| prog
ress and reform. Join the -noble
army of Patrons, and employ your
moral, intellectual and mat rial
force, for overcoming the barrios
which interpose your march for
deliverance from the dangers which
threaten your financial ruin.
St initiated by a conviction of the
justice of your cause, impelled by
the irresist able power of tru h, and
encouraged by the glorious success
which has thus far t. a oped upon all
obstacles that interpose your prog
ress, your march will b • otiw >rd and
upward, conquering and to conquer,
and generations yet .unborn will rise
up and'call you blessed.
