Doc. 2G? tf; GRANGERS' PLATFORM. MEMORIAL OF THE COTTON STATES MEMHEHS. A Diversity of Crops Necessary for Self-Protection. Tho National Convention of Grantors, at its recent session in St. Louis, adopted the following platfornP: Profoundly impressed with the truth, that the National Grange of the United States should definitely proclaim to the world its general object, we hereby unanimously make this declaration of the purposes of the Patrons of Husbandry, First?United by tho strong and faith, fnl tie of agriculture, wo mentally resolve to labor for tho good of our order, our country and mankind. Second?We heartily endorse tho mot I " Aor.n?**Inla Mni'tlT in ri All .OQCOTI f \ fl 1<3 IV ill u?3Uiiuai."?, milvj | in nv.i liberty; in all things, charity." Third?Wc shall endeavor to advance our cause by laboring to accomplish the following objects: To develope a better and higher manhood and womanhood among ourselves; to enhance the comforts and attractions of our homos, and strengthen our attachments to our pursuits ; tc foster mutual understanding and co-opera tion; to maintain inviolate our law9, and to emulate each other to labor to hasten the good time coming; to reduce our expenses, both individual and corpornto, to buy le3s and produce more in order to make our farms self-sustaining; to diversify our crops, and crop not more than we can cultivate; to condense the weight oi our exports, selling less in the bushel and more on hoof and in fleece; to systematize our work and calculate -intelligently* on h-L!!!*! -? ?JI iAA.tnlrtnnurtrt riFa/l prUUitUillllCij tu uiawuiiwiiauw HIV urju it system, the mortgage system, the fashior system, and every other system tending to prodigality and bankruptcy. We propos< meeting together, talking together, work, ing together, buying together, selling to gether, and in general acting together foi our mutual protection and advancement at occasion may require. We shall nvoid litigation as much as possible by arbitra tion in the grange; we shall constant!} strive to secure entire harmony, good 11111" \ lr 11 * ifll n i* l illift,, trrrr1 selves, and to make our order perpetual. Wc shall earnestly endeavor to suppress personal, local, sectional and national prejudices; all unheathy rivalry; all selfish ambition. A faithfnl adherence to these principles will insure our mental, moral, social and material advancements. Fourth?For our business interests wo desire to bring producers and consumers, farmers and manufacturers, into the most direct and friendly relations possible ; hence we must dispense with the surplus of middle men, not that we are unfriendly to them, hut do not need them. Their surplus and their exactions diminish our profits. We wage no aggressive warfare against any other interests whatever; on the contrary, all our acts and all our efforts, so far as business is concerned, are not only for the benefit of producers and consumers, but also for all other interests that tend to bring these two parties into speedy and economical contact. Hence we hold that transportation companies of every kind are necessary to our success; their interests aru intimately connected with our interests, and harmonious action is mutually advantageous, keeping in view the first sentence in our declaration of principles of action, '-that iiuliviilu.il happiness depends upon general prosperity." We shall therefore) advocate for every State the increase in every practicable way of all facilities for transporting cheaply to the seaboard, or between hoi.io pro duccrs and consumers, all productions oi our country. We adopt it as our fixed purpose to open out the channels in the nation's great arteries, that the life blond of commerce may flow more freely. We arc not enemies of railroads, navigable and irrigating canals, nor of any corporation that will advance our industrial interests, r.or of any laboring classes. In our noble order there is no communism, no ngrananism. We are opposed to such spirit and management of any corporation or enterprise as tends to oppress the people and rob them of their just profits. We are not enemies to capital, but we oppose the tyranny of monopolies; we Ion;.' to sec the antagonism between capital and labor removed by common consent and by an enlightened statesmanship, worthy of the nineteenth century. We are opposed to excessive salaries, high rates of interest, and exorbitant per cent, profits injrade. They greatly increase our burdens and do not bear a proper proportion to the profits of producers. We desire only sell-protection and the protection of every true interest of our land, bv legitimate trans action, legitimate trade, and legitimate prohts. Wo shall advance the cause of education among ourselves and for our children by all just means within out power.. . We.- especially advocate for ouW agricultural and industrial colleges tlrty practical agriculture, domestic scienjpfc and all the arts which adorn the home KJf taught in their course of study. 4$ Fifth?We emphatically and sincerely assert the oft repeated truth taught-&B our national organic law, that the granny national. State, or subordinate, is not m polit ical or party organization. No granguj if true to its obligation, con discuss polity ical or religions questions, nor call politiJ cat conventions, nor nominate candidat?3 nor ovfij] discuss th:ir merits initsmeoijj ings, yet the principles we teach underlie all true politics, all true statesomnshtjfl and, if properly carried ont, will tend tS purify the whole political atinoeph6re cm our country, lor wc seek the greatest ?yjM to the greatest number; but wo must af^ ways bear in mind that no one by bCcoui-I nig u grunge iiiuiiiuvr gives up mail ugHn and duty which belongs (o every Amefij j can citizen, to take a proper interests? i the politics of his country. On the con* . trnry. it is ricrht for every lumber to tnfcel an interest in the polities of thecountrya i and on the contrary, it is right for cvcrjtj . member to do all in his power, legitimateM , ly. to influence for good the action of nn;s* . political party to which he belongs. Itr, his duty to do all ho can in his own parfc? to put down bribery, corruption and trick, cry; to see that none but competent, faith, ful and honest men. who will unflinching, ly stand by our industrial interest!*} arc nominated for all positions of trust and to have carried out the principles which should always characterize every grangfc | member, "thai tlie office should seek tlu. i mad, and not the man the office." MH i acknowlege tho broad principle that % . difference of opinion is no crime, andhoNfJ i that p'rogrew toward truth is ma<fc,b?l , differences of oiiinion. while the fault ) - i W ? iii tlic bitternessof controversy. We d$-l sire a proper equality^equity and fairness;^ protection lor tlic weak, i?>: i aint upon . tlic strong; in short, justly distributed! ; burdens and justly distributed power.?? | These are American ideas, the very es. scnee of American independence, and tou r advocate the contrary is nnwoHhy of t^l I sons and > daughters of ait. Americy^M Ttt ^.. -hiT'th tionnlisin is of right, as it should bo, dcaoy and hnried with the past. Our work is for tlic present and the future. In our agricultural brotherhood and its purposes, we shalPrecognize "No North, no South, no East, no West." It is reserved by [ every Patron as the right of a freeman, to j affiliate with any party that will best carry out his principles. Sixth?Ours being peculiarly a farmers' i institution, we cannot admit all to our; ranks. Many are excluded by the nature of our organization, not becaii.se they are professional men, or artizans or laborers, but because they have not sufficient. direct, interest in tilling or pasturing the soil.? ' They have some interest in conflict with ! our purposes. But wo appeal to all good | citizens for their cordial co operation to J 'assist our efforts toward reform, that we ! may eventually remove from our midst j the last vestige of tyranny ami corruption, j We hail the general desire f.?r fraternal harmony, equitable comproiui <\ and ear- j nest e operation as an omen of our future I SUCCC?S. Seventh? It shall be an abiding prin ! ciple with us to relieve any of 0111 oppresesd | and suffering brotherhood by any means ; at our command. Last, but not least, wc | proclaim it among our purposes to ineul- i ! cate a proper appreciation of the abilities j ; and spln. ro of woman, as is indicated by , admit tin/ Iter to membership and position I in our nler. Imploring flic continued arsistanCP' of our l?ivin?! Master to guide us in our work, ?. in re pledge ourselves to faithful , and harmonious labor for all future time; J (o return by our united efforts to the wis- j ' dom, justice, fraternity, and political purity of our forefathers. A MEM'IUIAI. TO TIIE PATRONS OK IIUSBANIiRY IN THE SOUTHERN SPATES. Ihtring the past seven years our cotton fields have added to the wealth of the world two thousand millions of dollars, and caused prosperity to shim- upon every one who lias handled our crops, savo i those wlm struggled for its production.? t Annually, the energies of the cotton plan ter have been exhausted i:i attempting to produce a maximum crop of a xinglo sta- : i pic, while quite as frequently ho has re- \ i : duced his means in supplying his ncccssaI 1_ V I.ncwl mirtll Hllf'll ft ry whiiis. u.nv.. policy nii'l pr<uliic'ng such results must be i radically wrong, and if persisted in will i lead to bankruptcy and ruin No people ; . call ever become prosperous who arc not i selfsustaMiiiig. Our fertile soil, exhaust less mineral wealth, abundant water power, and gen- j orally salubrious climate avails us no'hing if annually we spend millions for subsis1 tcnce. It is generally conceded that home Rfjrown bread is cheaper than purchased [supplies, and the observation of every planter is that those, Southern farmers Kwho live within themselves are more independent, and less encumbered with debt ifchan those who have relied solely tipon phc cotton crop. Were it otherwise, it is (pazardous for any people to rely upon rotters for r supply of those articles which lire necessivy for their daily consumption. K It then refers to famine, which more ?than once has occurred in India, owing to J the efforts of the people to crow cotton to j the exclusion of brcadstnffs, and adds:? 3 During the past year, portions of Iowa, Mfittnesota and Dacota have been invaded iby grasshoppers, which destroyed every Tvestigc of vegetation. Imagine your cou Ulujon should a similar invasion become f|jPn?ral in the northwest. Couple with kihis the idea of the total failure of the Srtiotton crop, either from worm, drought, Hor any other unavoidable cause. IinprnTuable as such visitations may appear, have T we the power to prevent them, and is it t[ wise to subject ourselves to the possibility Cof becoming the victims of such calami[t ties? Our wisest and safest policy is, as [far as practicable, to produce at home our /tecessary supplies. Is there a farm in the IjSouth upon which this cannot be done, and at the same time produce an avertige cotton orop as the not result of the farmer's annual labor? ' We believe there is not annually four millions of bales of cotton produced upon Southern soil, but what a proportion of ?his vast amount is returned. To iudi?nr prosperity, one-half of it is ex- j landed for necessary supplies, while the Mwainder is divided between labor and HihXcs. Hence the cost of production has L&eceded the value of the article produced, . mil this policy continue? Extensive, Dotton crops have evinced our unity of purpose and entailed poverty upon us; an iftially uniform adhesion to mixed husbandry would secure our recuperation.? ijofton is a necessity; and tho extent of fist necessity can b<f calculated with exfrCtecs*. If three millions five hundred irmivn ihnv vill 1)A ?*jwumed. before another crop can be and Ttf^nnneV^^M^BW'ket thousand bales are grown, the large mar- i ginal excess will control and depress the market. The alternatives for success are numerous, but we need only rely upon ] the single one of co-operating in the , determination to subsist at home. With ( this end attained there is no reason why we should not be the happiest, most in- ] dependent, and prosperous people on the ( earth. j j The Moom as a Giver of Light, j1 1 This orb, the moon, that moves around I I the earth, seems to be there in order to ' < give light during the night time, says j i Prof. Proctor. Let us sec what astronomy ] has taught us. It teaches that the moon \ is very much smaller than the earth, with ; a diameter of 2,100 miles. She is dis- | tant lrom the earth 23H,S2S miles. The < surface of the moon is less than the earth's < in the proportion of 1 to 13?. In other words, the surface is about 1 I tiOO.OOO square miles. equal almost exactly to tlio , surface of Xortli and South America. It . is also equal appr .'Ciuiatoly to the surface , of Kurope and Africa taken together. If the nu?on is the abode of life there ia | plcoty of room for life there, and it is an ] interesting question whether she can , maintain life We know that the volume , of the moon is to that of the earth as I to , 19}, while her density is rather less than . that of the earth, so that her mass is to ( that of the earth as about 1 to HI. I First of all, as to the offices of the moon. If it is show it that slu discharges import- i ant offices to the earth, you will see that i we are no longer bound by the argument of design to recognize licr as the abode of ] life. First, we know she serves for the division of time. She gives light by night. >, God set His lights in the expanse of hea- i veil, the greater to rule by day ana trie lessor by night alternately. There is a service performed by the moon which is , so regular as to suggest th?t perhaps the Almighty intended the moon for that i special purpose. Laplace went so far as to say if he had made I he moon he would have made it ! much more useful to man. lie would have put it four times its present distance i away from the earth, when it would be I I far enough away to be a full moon and i give a regular light continuously by night, i The first objection to this is an astronomi- i cal one. for of all nuisances the moon's light is one which the astronomer dislikes 1 most, especially at a time when ho wants i to study ncbuho. or peine barely visible i comet; at thoso times the moon's bright- i ness seriously interferes with his observe- i tions; am\ 1 am surprised, indeed, that . Laplace, himsolf an astronomer, should < t have suggested so inconvenient an arrangement as that. But there are other difficulties. . If the uioon is in that condition she would always have to be opposite to the sun. The sun would go around once a year and the moon also. The moon wonld no longer be a measure of time, she wonld no longer rule the tides in the same way. She now raises a great wave called the tidal-wave, represented in hoiglit bjf 5. You have, another caused by the sun, represented by 2. These' two waves are sometimes combined in a single wave, and act together, sometimes opposing, sometimes coalescing. According to these ohangos, the tide varies in height from the difference of 5 and 2 to the snm of 5 nnd 2. That is to say, 3 the least height, and 7 the greatest. That is a very important matter. It is of great service, as any one who lives by the seashore knows; it is of great interest to the shipbuilder nnd merchant that there should be variable tides that there should not always 1)6 high tides, nor always low. That important service would not have been subserved by the moon if tho consideration suggested by Laplace bad prevailed. There is nuothcr very important service. The uioou enables tho astronomer or seaman in long voyages to ascertain the exact longitudo, which is nothing more or loss than the true time at the observer's station. If she 1 moved 12 times more slowly she would be less Gt to indicate the time in exactly the same degree as the hour hand of the watch is less fit than the minute h.^d. There arc other very great and important advantages of the real moon over that sug- 1 gested by Laplace, which I wonder did not occur to a mathematician such as he, 1 the only man who ever li *cd of whom it 1 can be said, "Ho was the rival of New- 1 ton." He himself said NeWton was fortu- I nate in having lived before him. In ano- 1 ther man it would have been rank conceit, but in' Laplace it was considered as 1 a just statement.. Yet he failed to notice, 1 when he suggested this moon s being fur- ] ,ther from us, that under his conditions if i spread so as to give the same .light, ibe ' material of which the moon is made wodld 1 In a fine editorial on the Rothschilds, the y \Tcw York Times, looking to the probable # ilevation of Disraeli as prime minister tl )f England, says: Roth Lionel and Meyer were in parlia- ^ licnt. They never, however, took an acivc interest in politics. They entered the 'a political arena to assist iu crowning 1 ;he templo of freedom by the emanci ^a jation of their race, and wipe away lie last spot of persecution from the stat- ^ itc books of England. They are now both D1 removed from the scene, Lionel having P ost his election in London Mr. Disraeli ^ ivhoin they naturally look to with pride, ,s md for whom they entertain a very warm J'1 friendship, was frequently, when chan- S( ;eUor of the exchequer, in the habit of ^ ronsnlfing them on questions of finance,?

The Jews were once regarded as a race r; who lived exclusively among themselves. r ind the tenor of Shvloek. when he heard " that his child had rim oft' with a young c Venetian Christian, was tegnrded as a ei true picture of their thoughts. Cut all this has passed away. The beautiful saying u if the Hebrew woman who, to the proph- " .'t to whom she had often been hospitable ^ and kind, on his way Jerusalem, 'said:? What is to he done for thee ? Wonhht 0 thou be spoken for to the king, or the cap- n tain of the host ?" answered, ul dwell 11 among my own people," is forgotten. The 11 sister of Lionel and Meyer Rothschild was ^ married to lion. Henry Pitzroy, of the *' Ducal house of (irafton. and a child of ,s 1 p Sir Anthony, was recently wedded to a member of another noble bouse. Jews c: sit on the bench, and in every profession they may be found in the first places. And we should not wonder if under the rule of the incoming first minister Disraeli, in the w elevation of Lionel Rothschild to the peer- tl age, the coronet, symbolically, will take '' the place of the yellow cap of the (ihctto 01 a Can Paralysis he Cured??Paralysis, according to an Knglish writer, is rare, much t hat passes for paralysis being ((] curable, especially through the iuiagina- (j tion. The opinion is supported by the ^ statements of one of the best medical men B C( in Paris, who in 18 19 was a physician in the great hospital there, the Hotel Pieu. In that year this hospital was particularly 0f famous for the cures effected in it, and m many were the hypochondriacs whose ini- 0, aginations sent them home well after a |1( stay in its wards. One odd ease was that af a young girl in the department of the Ain. whom a sudden fright had rendered hi iuQih and paralyzed, Loral physicians of f(6- /7 could do nothing for her, and at last asserted that only the doctors of the Ik>u?I, Diea could cure her. Firmly believing , this herself, the girl was sent to Paris r.ud admitted .to the hospital, where the 1urried physician merely examined her re a matter of form, promising to return -n# . next day. When he came he her 4 ?" his astonishmeut that the patient \ s in- f . clined to speak'.
