Worthy Master, Brothers and Sisters:
I would ask the question, what has
produced this Grange movement? what
has brought about this great upheaval
among the farmers of this nation, a
class of men who have hitherto taken
but little or no part in the affair of
government, but have suffered th< u-selves
to be dictated to by ail o', her
classes?
For the past fifteen years the agri-culturalists
of the land have witnessed
the gradual but sure loss of their hard
earned wealth, and its concentration
into the hands of rings and monopo-lies,
into the hands of an aristocratic
class, a principle alike dangerous to
civil liberty and republican govern-ment.
It was in a great measure the
concentration of the wealth in the
hands of a few that corrupted and
finally overthrew the old Roman Em-pire,
aud our government is fast fol-lowing
in her wake. Twenty per
cent, of the hard earned wealth of the
farmers lias departed from their hands
in the last fifteen years, and has gone
into the hands of the favored few.
Millions of vampires and leeches, in
the shape of middlemen have fastened
themselves on the substance of the far-mers,
and have been gradually steal-ing
it away, until in many instances
they have scarcely sufficient left to
keep the wolf from their doors. And
when these greedy cormorants have
been gently chided, and asked to let
go, they answer no, by tightening
their grip. Well we have organized
to get out of this class ui plunderers.
We intend to shake them off. We
know the struggle will be a hard one.
Their fangs have penetrated our very
vitals. It is a death struggle with
them. They are loth to let go, but in
proportion as they have tightened their
grip will be the hardness of their fall
when it comes, and if some of them
tall in hard places, and come out
maimed and bruised, they ought not
to blame us; they should have been
engaged in a more honorable calling
than that of pillage and plunder.
These are some of the causes which
produced our Order. There are oth-era
of which I do not propose to speak
now, but would ask that you take a
look at the present condition of our
government. Turn it which way you
will, it presents a dark picture. Light
seems to pervade it no where. Every
species of crime known to human law,
and human society are holding high
sway over the land. Government rob-beries,
bank robberies, bank defaults,
forging, perjury, swindling and steal-ing
of the deepest dye, and most in-famous
character, are of daily occur-rence.
At whose door does all this
infamy lie. It can not be laid at that
of the farmer, for there are almost
none of them in office. Then, it be-longs
to the other classes. This, my
brothers and sisters, demonstrates the
fact that the six million farmers in
this nation possess a greater amount
of honor and virtue than the other
classes, for in reading the daily history
of crime, we find but little charged to
their account. When the historian of
future ages shall take his pen in hand,
and start up the stream of time, to
gather up and record the incidents
and occurrences that produced the
downfall of the greatest government
that ever unfurled a flag, and reaches
the year 1875, he will pause in wonder
and amazement. He will find food
there for reflection. He will find cor-ruption
in high places enough in this
one year to shake to its very founda-tion
the house that was built on the
rock. But we are farmers, and it has
been said, nr have no right to dabble
in polities, or governmental t.ft’.irs.
We are nqt to ilLcuss politics
or leligion in the Grange Hall,
butl contend we have llie rigut here or
elsewhere to denounce corruption
wherever we find it, and we have the
right t<> use all legitimate means to put
it down. One of the avowed objects
ol the Order is to restore our govern-ment
to its former glorious position.
I hen, how are we to do it unless we
take hold uf the thiug squarely ? How
are we to do it unless we hurl from
place aud power the myriads of thieves
and scoundrels and put honest men in
their places, and where is a better
place to discuss the means by which
this thing is to be accomplished than
in the Grange hall ? Indirectly, if not
directly, all these swindles and steals
come out of the pockets of the tillers
of the soil. It is one of the first laws
of nature that man shall protect his
life, t hen n follows as a sequence that
the second law should be to protect the
little property you have acquired by
honest sweat of your brow. Our Order
has other objects in view paramount,
if possible to that of dollars and cents.
They are the bringing up of our occu-pation
to its proper aud honorable po-sit
ion, the social, moral and intellec
tual training and improvement of its
members. Our vocation is equalled
by no other in its great antiquity—
from the dawn of civilization, from the
oldist dates of which we have histori
cal knowledge, beyond the era ol the
hunter and shepherd, agriculture ex-isted,
and never at any time during
the historv of man lias it ceased to ex-ist,
but has ever kept pace with prog-ress
and improvement. Soon alter the
great Architect had finished His labors.
He looked out over them, blessed them
and said that all was good, the fiat
went forth to man to earn his bread by
the sweat of his brow. Agriculture was
begun in the Garden of Eden. We
learn that Cain was a tiller of the soil
and that Noah planted a viueyard.
Without agriculture and the bless
ings it has diffused in counteracting
roving and vicious habits and the re
quiriug regularity ol labor, thus neces
sttating society, mankind would all
lmve been s ivages thinly scatteied . ver
the globe, whilst Christianity and civ-itzaiiou
which now spreads over aud
illuminates the world would b.- feeble
aud flickering. The ancients held
husbandry in the highest esteem. It
has been said the Egyptians credited
its origin to superhuman agency; they
worshiped the ox as a type of labor in
manifestation of their gratitude to that
superhuman power. 1 he Romans held
the plow in th« highest veneration;
the proudest days of that old empire
the highest honor that could be heaped
on an illustrious character was to call
him an honest, industrious frugal hus-headman.
Cato, the orator, statesman
and general whom the. oaians de-lighted
to honor for his prowess in the
field and cabinet, yet reaped his most
enduring honors from the aid he ex-tended
to agriculture' And Castrol
(if I mistake not his name) the greatest
ancient of them all, a man who would
---- :------------ ——T—r----- -——TT7
have adorned t he kingly palace or who
could have worn with honor to himself
and his nation a royal diadem, chose
farming as his occupation and plowed
his lands with a forked stick. Thus
we see that agriculture was held in
greater esteem than any other calling
by those who lived in the days nearest
its origin. But, where does it stand
to -day ? What position do the farmers
of this nation occupy ? Husbandry is
the leading pursuit of all other^ait is
the one on which every other calling or
profession rests; it is the great rock
out of which flows the stream that sus-tains
the human family. Then, does
it stand pre-eminent and above all
others—do the farmers occupy the
front rank in society ? I say no—ern-phatically,
no! They are regarded by
many other classes as a kind of low,
groveling creatures unfit for their so-ciety,
unworthy of notice or distinc-tion
and their occupation as low and
degrading. Why is all this ? Who is
to blame ? I admit that some of the
blame rests with the farmers and that
blame runs back to our fathers.
They were not educated as a mass.
They did not read. They did not culti-vate
their minds by thought aud study
as they should huve done; they did not
educate us, nor did they teach us that
intelligence was desirable and necessa-ry
among farmers as well as other
classes. They did not teach us that
knowledge was power, now we must
fault them and ourselves for our small
stock of knowledge, and also for the
low state into which our occupation
has drifted. Then, to remedy these
evils by the improvement, cultivation
and enlightening our minds, and to
bring up our occupation to its proper
level are some of the objects of our
organization. There is a great want
of useful information among the farm-ers
of this nation, but happily that
want is being supplied through the
channels of that great university, the
Grange organization. It is a school to
which both sexes from the bright eyed
youths of sixteen to the hoary headed
sires and matrons, can go. It is a
school, which if properly attended
will be of invaluable benefit to those
for whom it was intended. Then let
us patronize it liberally. Let us meet
often and discuss questions that are of
vital interest to as, as the producers of
the nation’s wealth, but me thinks I
hear some brother way over yonder an-swer,
“we have not the time.” We
cannot leave our farms, only occa-sionally,
and that only at night. To
you I would in all kindness and candor
say, beware. You have time to labor
day in and day out; you have time to
lay down at night and sleep like the
ox; you have time to sit down in the
blissful ignorance, whilst the sharpers
are stealing away your hard earnings;
but you have no time to cultivate and
improve your mind; you have no time
to assist in shaping the policy of this
government in your interests, and you
had no time to help keep scoundrels
from office, whereby the government
has been robbed of millions, thus eu-tailing
an everlasting debt on you and
your posterity. It was this same lack
of time, this same do-nothing policy
among the farmers, (except to dig in
the ground) that permitted unprinci-pled
and corrupt men to precipitate
this nation into that great convulsion
through which we have just passed
—a convulsion which rocked it
from center to circumference, and rent
in twain the rock upon w hich our fa-brie
of government was built. This
same apathy, this same do-nothing
policy, if persisted in, must produce a
second convulsion, that will be in its
effects more terrible than the first; for,
in that second, our Lone Star Empire
will go down in blood and carnage to
rise no more!
Then, my brothers and sisters, let us
be up and doing; let us play our part
in the great drama that lies before
us; let us take that part in shaping the
policy of this nation which our inter-ests
demand we should.
My sisters, a few words to you and I
have done. Has it ever occurred to
your minds, the great responsibility
that is resting upon you? Has it ever
occurred to your minds, that, as moth-ers,
you have almost the entire shaping,
the destiny of your child? As soon as
it is aDle to lisp your name, as soon as it
is able to patter across the floor on its
little feet—you find it trying to imitate
you. It believes you know it all, it
lelieves what you say or do is right,
and these early impressions are never
eradicated. It adopts your language,
your manners, your habits, your every
example, it imitates.
Some of the greatest men tke world
has ever seen, owe their greatness, in
a large measure to their early training
by the mother. Then how careful
should you be in the example you set
your children, the advice you give
and the influences you throw around
them? Away down in the impenetra-ble
future, long years after the old
‘charriot” shall have visited your
homes and left your place around the
hearthstone vacant, long years after
you have gone from labor to refresh
ment in that Eternal Home, prepared
for the good and the great, when
your sons and daugters shall have
climbed the pinicle ot fame and sit
down upon its summit to retrospect
the past, let them review it with pride
anil pleasure, and let them with hon-eet
hearts aud truthful lips say, “It
was the example of my mother; it was
the advice of my mother; it was the
influence my mother exerted over my
youthful mind that enabled me to
climb here!”

A Great Problem solved.
Since the commencement of civilization,
physicians have admitted that a wholesome
stimulant was a desideratum in medicine,
For many centuries the question was,
“where shall we find it.” The introduction
of Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, solved the problem. Eagerly,
enthusiastically) the profession seized u
the new article ; universally they tested"it
unanimously they approved it. To-day the
faculty consider it the purest and the best
medleyed stimulant extant, and habitually
prescribe it for dyspepsia, kidney com
plaints, general debility, and for the ner-vous
ailments to which the feebler sex are
especially subject.
Of all tonics, diuretics and nervines, it is
the safest and best. mh9 d&wTfim
The Great Specialty In medicine.
It would require a column to enumerate
the so-called medicinal stimulants, with re
fuse liquor for their basis, which “ Udolphi
Wolf’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,” 6
the lapse of a quarter of a century,
lived down. At present it is oiliclally recog
uized by ■the profession andI generally by the
Eublic/as the only thoroughly safe alco-olic
iuvigorant in existence. Analysis has

ailments of either sex which requires invlg
