Brief History of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. It was organized in Philadelphia, Pa., on the 5th day ol duly, 1845 Its inception was lor the purpose of protecting American mechanics from foreign emigration, and none but American mechanics were ad mitted to membership. On the 7th day of May, 1853, Reliance Council, No. 40, of U. A M. organized a council of young men between the ages of 16 and 21 years, for the purpose of pre paring them for membership in the parent order of United American Mechanics. The civil war almost obliterated the order; but on the Sth day of September, 1869, the National Council Junior Order United American .Mechanics was organized. Several years after wards the order severed its con nection with the O. U. A. M. and is now a separate and distinct or ganization. There are at present over 1,600 councils in the United States with a total membershi > of about 15,200. State councils are in active opera tion in all the states and territor ies. A national home lor the care and education of the orphans of deceased members, is established at Tippin, Ohio. This home rep resents a valuation of over *100,- ox». At this home we educate and rear the children of deceased members of our order and fit them for a life of usefulness. It has been in operation only a tew years, yet 190 little ones have found their way to it. What better cause can men engage in than educating orphan children. An active interest has been tak en by the order in legislation to restrict immigration and improve our public school system. We have been instrumental in passing laws in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, providing that the children attending the public schools of thoie states, shall be furnished with their text books free of all cost, as a result the at tendance at the public schools has increased over 20 per cent in a short time, It has been instrumental in pass ing compulsory education laws in several states. We recently had a law passed in Pennsylvania pro viding that no teacher be allowed to wear the distinctive garb ol any religious denomination or organi zation. Laws providing that the American (lag must be floated over the public schools during the ses sion thereof, have also been adopt ed in various states through our instrumentality. We have pre sented over 3,000 American flags to the public schools throughout our land, and aie still actively en gaged in that work. We are de termined that our flag shall llo.it over every public school liou.se in our country, It is the largest, the best and one of the oldest patriotic orders in America; it has paid #4,716,757 in sick benefits; it has councils in 44 states and territories. Do you believe in the public schools? Do you believe in the restriction ot immigration? Do you believe in the payment of sick benefits? Do you believe in the carrying of life insurance? Do you believe in education and proper training of orphans? If so, join the J. t). I . A. M, 1'he word Junior in the title has no relation to the age of members. It was adopted to distinguish the order from the O. U. A. M , and has no other significance. Nor is the word mechanic to be construed literally. It refers in no manner to artisans, but embraces every pursuit- one language, one law, one citizenship, one non-sectarian. The | O. D A. M is the largest patriotic order in America. For some unaccountable reason, the objects and principles of the order are misunderstood by a great number of our best citizens This being the case, ours must be a cam paign of education. W'e must en lighten every intelligent citizen in our fair land as to just what our principles oie and 10 what extent we are endeavoring to carry them out. No true, loyal American, irrespective of surroundings or be who is not willing to pledge alle- lief, need be ashamed to advocate gience to our flag ,rnd nationality, the principles and objects of the and to place the allegiance due it J Q D A. M., since they are above that conceded to any other God's highest and noblest ideals of American manhood and citizen ship. At all times do only that which is right; to uphold the laws of our land and to be guided in all our conduct and deliberations by a profound belief in the wisdom of Almighty God. Fellow Ameri cans ail over the world, we hope and trust that the time will never come when we as nu mbers of one of the noblest orders ever con ceived of in the mind 01 mortal power, civil or religious. We know our flag to be powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us in the exercise of both civil and religious liberty. We afbrm our devotion to the American public school system and to compulsory e*( ucation thereunder. We hold that our schools should be con ducted in the English language; to the end that future generations may be able to take their place as English speaking citizens, of an man, whose qualifications for mem English speaking country, and that bership demands honest, upright, foreign languages should only be law abiding citizens, shall be called taught therein as incidental to a upon to deny our birthright. You liberal education. We declare it must ever stand shoulder to slmul to be a fundamental principle of der, with the banner of liberty and free government that every citizen freedom before us and the Holy possesses the liberty of worship- Itible for the rule and guide of our ping God according to the dictates faith, ever trusting in God, and the of bis own conscience, and pledge same power that preserved our 11a- ourselves to assist in protecting all tion will perpetuate and strengthen in the exercise of that liberty; but our noble order. This work is too we are unutterably opposed, and grand and magnificent to ever will most strenuously resist, the stop, interference of any church, of Let none but the noblest and whatsoever nature or name, with best into our fraternal fold, then the temporal affairs of our coun in a few short years we will take our place in an onward and up ward march for virtue, liberty and patriotism. No truly loyal Ameri. can citizen can join our fraternity and pass through our grand initia tory ceremonies without feeling a greater responsibility in the wel fare and prosperity of this grand republic of ours—"ours to support, ours to protect and ours to enjoy " Generations past and generations to come, hold us responsible for this sacred tilist. There are thousands of good, try, or the union of church and State under whatsoever guise. We recognize the Bible as the foundation of both moral and civil law, and believe that it should be read in our public schools—not to teach sectarianism, but. moral ex cellence. We should place a flag upon and a Bible within every pub lie school house within our land, that all might learn these to be a beacon light in every storm which may threaten our destruction. In all the foregoing we ask the cordial and hearty co-operation of High Class Druggists AND - OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to tho excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell tho imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, blit they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that tho great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may Vie sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of every tiling in his line at reasonable prices. 1 true, loyal citizens who have never every good citizen.
