THE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
Aims and Objects of the Order—lts
Manner of Working—-The Address
of the Rev. Mr. Howard Before the
National Grange.
The address of the Rev. Mr. Howard,
on the “ Aims and Objects of the Pat
rons of Husbandry, delivered at the Hi
bernian Hall on Friday night, before
the members of the order and a large
number of citizens, is as follows :
Worthy Master, Brothers and Sisters of
the Orange, Ladies and Gentlemen:
If the audience had been composed
entirely of members of the National
Grange I could not presume to address
you with remarks naturally connected
with instruction. There are others in
this assembly much more competent
for that purpose than myself. But
there are others here who are not con
nected with our order, and Ashley
Grange has done me the honor to re
quest me to explain some of the ends
and aims of that order. This task I
take with the hope of removing some
of the prejudices that might have ex
isted against it. The word “ grange ”
is French, it means farm and, as ap
plied by us to our organization, is most
fitting, as descriptive of a band of
farmers. The homestead of the apos
tle of liberty, LaFayette, who left his
own fair France to fight for üb, was
La Grange —The Grange. There iB a
poetic and historic propriety in our
assumption of that name in a struggle
of a different sort, but not the less
glorious or severe. The farmers of our
country have been considered, as it
were,
THE BEASTS OF BUBDEN
of society, that is to say, they were ex
pected to furnish food and the raw ma
terial for the support and raiment of
the rest; and the remaining portion of
the community were to derive the pro
fits therefrom. Throughout the whole
country we are largely in the majority.
The extent of the majority differs in
different sections of the United States.
In the South the majority is greatest;
in my own State, (Georgia) reaching
seventy-five per cent, of the whole po
pulation ; in other Southern’States ap
proximating that amount if it does not
reach it, and yet this greater portion of
the community have been in a sense
governed and controlled by the remain
ing minority. The position is unna
tural. I have sometimes thought that
the elephant in the menagerie fittingly
illustrates our position. You shall go
into the menagerie and see that huge
beast with the strength of a hundred
men in his limbs, and there is a little
keeper with nothing but a small goad
in his hand who gives him orders. He
kneels down, lays down, bellows, roars,
and does everything that the keeper
requires, while all the time he could
pick him up with his trunk and hurl
him through the canvas without
exerting an appreciable effort.—
The farmers of the South are
the largest part of the population;
and yet this little twenty-five per cent.,
with its sharp goad, punches us, and
we kneel down, lay down, bellow, roar,
do whatever they command us to do,
while all the time we could pick them
up with our trunk and throw them
through the canvas, and scarcely feel
that we have exerted an appreciable
amount of strength. Why is this ? It
is because the minority is organized
and the majority is not organized, and
we all know what a disciplined squad
of men can do with an undisciplined
mob. But that fault is being correct
ed. This organization has sprung into
life. It has not yet reached its full
ness, but when that completeness of
organization is perfected towards which
we are now so rapidly tending, there
will be a body of men and women
counted by hundreds of thousands
banded indissolubly together, who will
render resistance to their will impos
sible. This is to be the result of this
organization which has been begun
and is now going on to consummation.
Agriculture has been oppressed.
THE FORM OF
Offers in different sections. In the
Northwest, the chief burden has been
connected with transportation, and ef
forts have been made to lesson this
burden, and gallantly the contest has
been waged. The bhrden connected
with the variation of prices, the “ wa
tering ” of stocks, rings and monopo
lies ; that is, the class of oppression
with which our Northwestern brothers
have had to contend. At the South we
do not meet with that difficulty, or
rather it assumes a different shape. I
do not think that we here in the South
can reasonably complain of the rail
roads ; they are controlled by gentle
men in whom we have entire confi
dence. Those who hold their stocks
are our widows and orphans, and those
seeking permanent investments. And
yet these railroads are all failing to de
clare dividends, their stocks and bonds
are below par, and although their rates
are high, they assure us that they can
not transport freights at lower rates,
because of the small shipments. We
cannot blame them. But the burden
still falls heavily upon the fanner.
What is to be done by them which will
•orrect that which the railroads say is
beyond their power ? A portion of cur
citizens have attempted to remove a
part of that difficulty connected with
transportation by establishing a direct
trade to Europe—a movement emi
nently worthy, 4f it can be found
practicable. The State Grange of
Georgia has organized a board of
direct trade, with a beginning
oapital of SIOO,OOO, the most of which
has been paid in. They have shipped
already 4,000 bales of cotton and hope
before the end of the season to ship
10,000 bales. This is a local institu
tion, but why should it be merely local
when it may be extended throughout
the whole country ? The president is
a man of the highest integrity and In
Whom we all have the greatest faith.
A gentleman from tnis city :is our agent

commissions so far as practicable, it

transportation. A surer relief will be
provided in shipping direct to the spin
ners at home. We should have our
markets in our own section of country,
in our own countries, if possible, for
the sale of our cotton. In the State of
Georgia there are forty-two cotton
mills to work up thirty million of dol
lars’ worth of raw material, and yet the
factories which have been established
heretofore are prospering to a degree
which is not allowed to any other in
dustry in the land, and I wish you,
gentlemen of the North, to see that
while your cotton mills are stopping
and working on half time, the cotton
mills of the South have never known
greater prosperity. It costs you too
much to get the cotton to you.
THE COTTON MILLS MUST OOME TO THE COT
TON,
and when they do come here they will
find their profits increased to a degree
with which they have not been hereto
fore familiar. The Southern people are
poor, but I think that they can estab
lish these factories. There are means
by which we can find the capital. We
of the South have always been too im
patient ; we have been unwilling to
creep before we could walk. We must
be content with small beginnings. I
know of a cotton factory in Georgia
which was commenced before the war
with a capital of $25,000 only. That
factory has now invested a capital of
$200,000, derived from no outside
source whatever but the profits accru
ing, and in the meantime the stock
holders have lived and prospered ; and
1 can scarcely believe that there is a
large cotton county in the South that
could not, with this small beginning,
build up such an interest. The system
of agriculture pursued in the South is
such (I mean exclusive cetton plant
ing) that it costs more labor to the
productive acre than to any other peo
in Christendom. If we could act as oth
er people act our results would be far
different, but in our agriculture as in
our other pursuits, we have fallen
into a rut and do not know how to get
out of it, especially with a jaded team.
We must see how others have done
and are doing, with no greater ad
vantages than ours, to make their lands
profitable. There where profitable agri
culture prevails, all portions of the
land are made to pay the price of the
labor; that is to say, some portions
are allowed to produce those products
which require no excessive amount of
labor. If we were to take off one-half
of our cotton crop and devote our at
tention to the cultivation of grasses
and the raising of live stock, as they
do at the North, wo could cut off one
hali of our expenses both in money and
labor, and that money which we thus
save we could put in a cotton factory
and give us a market at home (or all
the products of our farm. I beg that
this point will be carefully considered.
I think it one material to the interests
of the North and South and West. It
is perhaps not the only remedy, but in
my opinion it is by far the best which
has been devised,"by which to make the
markets for our farm products directly
within our reach. It has been sup
posed by some persons that the Grange
is
AN AGGRESSIVE INSTITUTION.
That our design is to attack all the
rest of society. I don’t know that our
position can be better illustrated than
by the anecdote of the Quaker, who
being a passenger of a vessel which
was being chased by a pirate was asked
by others of the passengers if he was
not going to arm himself ? No, says
he, I never carry deadly weapons. Tire
pirate approached the vessel and one
of the crew was just leaping on board
the merchant ship when the Quaker
seized him in his arms and dropped
him overboard, and said “Friend, thou
hast no business here.” The Grange
says this : We attack nobody, we strike
npbody, but we want it well understood
rnat we are excellent hands at fending
off. The means by which we hope to re
duce the cost of our produce is so well
known that I do not propose to dwell
longer upon it. Our general rule is to
sell where there is the greatest advan
tage, and buy at the greatest advan
tage, and, in every case that it is pos
sible, to do without middlemen. We
can’t do without middlemen entirely :
but we can lessen their number and
their charges.
The Grange is a social, educational
and moral organization as well as
economic. I confess that, when my at
tion was first attracted to the Grange,
there were prejudices in my mind
against it, and they prevented me from
becoming a member of it for a con
siderable time. One objection was its
secrecy. I had never joined a secret
society of any kind, and had strong
scruples against connecting myself with
such an organization. The other was
THE ADMISSION OF LADIES
into the Grange. I feared what might
be the possible result of that admis
sion. I confess to a religious horror
of a technically termed strong-minded
woman. She frightens me. There is
a delicate charm about female charac
ter, like the down upon the butterfly’s
wing, which, once removed, cannot be
restored, and the^ beautiful insect falls
fluttering to the‘ground. And I. was
afraid this admission might have that
effect; but I went upon the principle
that when we cannot get exactly what
we want, it is good sense to take the
next best that we can get. I waived
my scruples and became a member of
the Grange, and I found that its se
crecy was a bond of union, reasonable,
natural and proper, impairing no pre
vious obligation, civil, political or re
ligious. So far as the admission of la
dies was concerned, instead of acting
disadvantageously, I found it an emi
nent advantage. You will in the first
place see that no man will admit
into an association of which his
wife and daughters are members
any but men of unquestionable up
rightness and integrity. The ladies
of the Gr mge are the emblems of its
purity. You will observe that the
Grange makes provision for that
which is a great defect in our society,
that is healthful amusement. It is as
important as the food we eat, for it is
just as natural that youth should seek
amusement as that the lamb should
skip, or that the bird should sing. At
the end of every month there is a fes
tival ; after the the day is
over a repast is spread, and the mem
bers of the Grango, young and old, en
joy themselves in a way suited to their
years and inclinations. It is our duty
to make our offspring happy. There is
some good poetry and some very bad
theology in that popular verse :
“ world is all a fleeting show,
For man’s illusion given;
ine smiles of joy, the tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow
inere s nothing true but Heaven.”
Heaven is indeed grandly, gloriously
true, but there is truth ofttimes in the
tears which spring from the fond heart,
almost broken, finding relief thus, when
relief oould not be obtained. “Go let
me weep this bliss in tears.” There is
AUGUSTA, GA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1875.
truth in the smile of joy. This beauti
ful earth was not made for man’s illu
sion. Otherwise the green carpet of
bpring, its hills of flowers, the restless
ocean, the starlight night, the pale
moon, the glorious life-giving sun, are
all libels upon the Great Creator. All
nature cries out, her voice is the voice
of God to his intelligent creatures, “Be
good, be happy.”
It is also educational to our daugh
ters, teaching them that they are not
merely to be butterflies of life, to be
amused and amuse, but that, in the
conducting of the farm, they should so
employ themselves as to make all work
to the best advantage in the garden
and in the homestead, to strive in all
the various ways to make home
THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH.
And to mother and daughter, the
Grange says, make home beautiful
within ; make home happy within, with
good books and sweet music ; and, bet
ter than all, with the accord of the
heart of the family, which are one in
their pursuits, generous, just and true.
Make home beautiful without, plant
flowers around the homestead, gladden
it with the smiles of Spring, rob Win
ter of his chill by the ever lovely ever
green. Make home attractive to your
sons. At the restive period of life
when they are seeking change, and
disposed to wander to distant lands, as
they look around them upon their
beautiful home, are forced to exclaim :
“ I cannot leave thee ; these flowers,
these bowers their hands entwined, my
mother and sister implanted. Here I
was won, there I w T as w T on to virtue by
my mother’s smile and deterred from
vice by my father’s frown , over those
field I followed the bounding game; in
those clear waters my young limbs
bahted ; I cannot leave thee ; God! do
so to me and mine also, if ought but
death part thee and me.”
As to our sons, in the way of educa
tion, the Grange here plays an import
ant part, it brings about the combina
tion of
STUDY AND LABOR,
and a loDg experience of teaching leads
me to believe that the value of this
combination cannot be overestimated.
The world’s most healthy and sound
minds have been produced by just such
a combination. I know no position
which 1 would rather see my sons oc
cupy than to stand upon their own
lands, honest, educated farmers, fear
ing God, and doing their duty to their
fellow-man. I cannot conceive of a
social position higher than this. The
Grange is also moral. I don’t know
who wrote the manual of the Grange ;
but I have this to say, who ever he was,
whether one mind or many minds, the
work that has been done is an immense
benefit to mankind. Out of the sacred
Scriptures I know of no compend of
human conduct equal to it. * In the
teaching of that ritual no man, no
woman, no youth of either sex can fail,
if she or he faithfully applies that
ritual, to be useful members of society
and be fitted for all its ends. The
Grange directs its members to take an
interest in public affairs as citizens.
While we have
NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS
in a party sense, we have a great deal
to do with laws. If there are hurtful
laws that ought to be repealed, and
good laws that ought to be passed, it
is our duty to turn out those Repre
sentatives who will not bring this com
mon good about, and put those in of
fice who will prove faithful to their
trust, not as men of the Grange, but as
citizens. The whole country at pres
ent is not represented, but the National
Grange assembles, and the whole
country is not only represented in that
body, but there is not a single section
al interest represented in it, there is
not a, single political clique, there is
nothing to mar the harmony of the
body which meets to act for the best
welfare of the great majority of Amer
ican citizens; and when that body
meets it is in the kindred spirit to bear
with the differings of party, and closely
bound together by the ties of friend
ship and mutual interest.
THE NORTH AND SOUTH
should know each other better, and it
is just this intercourse in the Grange
that will bring this about. It is this
intercourse which will remove all those
unpleasant asperities. It is said that
a bond of railroad iron is the strongest
bond that can bind different sections of
country together. It is indeed to us
power ; but there is another bond that
is stronger ; it is water, it is stronger
than iron ; time cannot weaken it. The
little stream tiiat starts from the moun
tain top dancing down its rocky bed to
the.ocean, never wearies still it reaches
the broad path leading to the ocean,
and as centuries roll on there is alwavs
that dancing little rivulet, always that
bright little stream leading the com
merce of our country to the broad
bosom of the ocean. The war settled
one truth clearly ; it was that the peo
ple living on the bank of the Missis
sippi will be one people in all times.
Wo want four mouths to the Father of
Waters. One for the Southern ports,
one for the Central Atlantic ports, and
another for the Middle Northern trade.
If the government will do this there
will be created a bond of union which
never can be disturbed. But there is
still
A STRONGER BOND.
than iron or water. A bond invisible
indeed, but potent as the unseen cir
cumambient air, without which we in
stantly perish. It is the triple cord
which no man can break. Faith, Hope,
Charity. These three—inimitable, last
ing as the existence of Him of whose
nature they are a partion. It Is this
bond which binds the Grange together,
and through it binds together the
whole country. If the National Grange,
with its subordinate Granges, in their
present numbers, had existed for sev
eral years before the war, I do not be
lieve that war would have occurred.
It is my further conviction that while
the National Grange, with the subordi
nate Granges, exists esto perepetua, a
fratricidal war in this country can
never occur again.
The Grange, in its essence, aims,
purposes and teachings, is supremely
pacific. It repeats the heavenly an
nouncement, and the echo 3 reverberate
from Maine to Texas, from the Land
of Flowers to the Lakes, from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic, from mountain
and valley, “ On earth peace, good will
towards men.”
A Sacramento lawyer remarked to
the court: “Itis my candid opinion,
Judge, that you are an old fool! ” The
Judge allowed his mildly beaming eye
to fall upon the lawyer a brief mo
ment, then in a voice husky with sup
pressed emotion, said: “Itis my can
did opinion that you are lined $lOOl ”

AGENTS WANTED.
Every Family to be Canvassed*
WE want local Agents everywhere, ana
one General Agent in each State, for
Tlxo Christian Age,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families througnout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES-F. DEEMS, D* D.,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers’’ will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repre
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our Held upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
Oniers. Drafts or Orders should be made
pavable to the “Christian Age.” Post
Office Money Orders should be made paya
ble at Station D, New York.
