'-i<*; HISTORY OF THE GRANGE. \ MECHANICS, Tradesmen, Professional men, find it both to their pleasure and interest to unite in societies with members of like business. These bodies are known under many names. Trades Unions, Guilds, Boards of Trade, Convocations. Societies of Benchers &c., but they are all alike in their main objects, which are the advancement of their own callings and of their own especial fortunes. The isolation of farmers is proverbial, Living as they necessarily must at greater distances apart than the inhabitants of cities and towns, friendly intercourse is not so con- venient, and although their interests conflict less than do those of any other business, and though their aims are exactly alike, they rarely make their plans in unison, but each man lays out and ex- ecutes his work by his own light, without advice or council from his neighbours. Various means have been tried for overcoming this evil. Farmers' clubs, it was thought, w^ould prove a remedy ; and they were partially successful, but they had not those elements of union and secrecy which are needed to hold such bodies together. Mr. William Saunders of the Agricultural Department at Washing- ton, and Mr. O. H. Kelly formerly a farmer in Minnesota, conceived the idea of the Grange, i..ie first farmers' organization which ever took a firm hold. In August of 1867 they laid their plans before several other gentlemen connected with agriculture, some of whom, being lead- ing members of various secret societies, aided in preparing the work. On the 4th December, 1867, the first Grange was organized, and Mr. Saunders was elected Master. A subordinate Grange was shortly after- wards established in Washington as a school of instruction. During the first year ten Granges were organized. 39 dispensations were granted in 1869, 38 in 1870, 125 in 1871. The National Grange met in Washington, January 8th, 1873, when 19 states were represented. Dudley W. Adams of Iowa was elected HISTORY OF THE ORANOK. Master. 1105 new granges were reported as having been organized during the previous year. During the year 1872, Eben Thompson, a Deputy of the National Grange, was sent into the Province of Quebec to organize Granges in connection with the National Grange. The first organized was the In- ternational at Stanstead, Quebec. During tlie year eight other Crianges were organized in Quebec, and one in Ontario at L'Orignal ; but the order did not appear to flourish, although some of the Granges had a large membership. Some of them never met, and the work did not spread. Mr. J. F. Cass, Master of the Grange at L'Orignal, was ap- pointed a Deputy, and he organized Grange No. 12, at Cass Bridge. The seventh annual session of the National Grange was held in St Louis, February 4th, 1874. The Secretary reported as follows : " At the beginning of the year there had been established 1362 Granges, and on the 31st of December there were 10,029, showing an increase in the number of subordinate Granges of 8667 for the year 1873." In the proceedings w^e find the following : "On motion of Brother Wright, of California, Elwn TJjoinpaon, Depnty for Canada, ■was invited to make a report of the conditions and wants of the Order in the Dominion. He said that there were ten Gran^en in Canada, some of them numbering over 10 ) mem- bers, that they desired to establish a Dominion Grange, in order to have a fixed head- quarters for the Order, and that they most earnestly desired to see the organization become international. Received as information." Mr. Thompson's permit to organize Granges in Canada having now expired, he asked Mr. Adams, the Master of the National Grange, to re- new it, which Mr. Adams refused to do. Nevertheless, Mr. Thompson determined to return to Canada and organize what Granges he could. Coming to London, Ontario, he called upon Mr, Weld, the editor of the Farmer^ Advocate and explained to him and to several others, who afterwards became members, that ten Granges were already organiaed and that the Executive Committee of the National Grange had agreed that 80 soon as fifteen subordinate^ Granges were organized a Domin- ion Grange would be established which would be financially indepen- dent of thfe National Grange. As evidence of theh- feeling toward the Canadian Grange he referred to the passage above quoted from the Annual Report. Feeling that the Grange was just what was needed, and that as a Canadian Institution it would succeed, Mr. Weld and those about him did their utmost personally and through the press to aid Mr. Tliompson. The great hinderance to immediate success was the fact that the Grange i 1 HISTORY OP THE GRANGE. g in Canada was as yet subordinate to tlie National Grange, and had to send their fees and dues to the United States. This had to be overcome by repetitions of the promise of freedom after the organization of fifteen Granges. WH. BArSDBBS, BS4., FBST MABTU OF KATIOSAL OBAITGK. The work was pushed forward as fast as possible. Granges were organized, and the money and applications sent to the Secretary of the National Grange, and lie, although aware that Mr. Thompson was not authorized to organize Granges, accepted the fees and sent boxes and 6 HISTORY OF THE GRANGE. \ dispensations, thereby making the National Grange responsible for Mr. Thompson's actions and promises. Several members of the order wish'-ig further guarantee that the 15 Granges, when formed, might organize themselves into an independ- ent Dominion Grange, wrote to the Master and Secretary of the National Grange, but could receive no satisfaction, the Master never replying, and Secretary only stating that he had referred the letter to the Master. These delays and disappointments alarmed many of the Canadian members. The Delaware Grange sent out letters to various Masters, asking if they would meet to consider matters. On the 23rd of May, 1874, Mr. Thomas W. Dyas, Secretary of Forest City Grange, pro- posed to his Grange that they should invite the Masters, Lecturers, and Secretaries of all Granges in Canada to meet them in their rooms, in London, on the 2nd "of June, 1874, to organize a Dominion Grange The motion was heartily adopted, and notices of the meeting were immediately sent out, and on the 2nd of June, 1874, the following members met in Forest City Grange Ilooms : S. W. Hill, S. WatlP, E. Scott, M. Gardner, Jobn Elliott, H. Bruce, Thomas W. Dyas, A. Gilford, Dr. Hanson, William Weeks, Thomas Weeks, James Burgess, W. L. B.'own, Adam Nichol, William Hoskin, A. K. Spencer, W. Pemb^-rton Page, James Armstrong, Thomas Dougherty, D. Ferguson, H. Weld, Henry Anderson, H. Payne, Henry Palmer, and William Uole— 25 in all. The Grange being opened, Mr. Thomas W. Dyas was called upon to give his reasons for calling the meeting. He explained the position of affairs substantially as above set lorth, and showed that the success of the Grange in Canada depended upon its independence, financially and otherwise, from the National Grange. In conclusion he moved the following resolution : " That the time has now come when it is necessary to establish a Dominion Grange." The question was discussed during the whole afternoon, many mem- bers expressing a fear that the Grange in Canada would not be strong enough to stand alone. FinaUy Mr. William Cole moved the follow- ing amendment, which was adopted : — "That the time has come when it it necetsaij to establish a Dominion Grange ; he it therefore reoolved, that we hereby consider ourselves a Dominion Grange ; that we apply to the National Grange to organise us as such ; that in the metntime we grant dispensations to subordinate Granges until a final separation from' the United States is effected. " Mr. S. W. Hill, of Ridgeville, was elected Master, and Mr. Thomas W. Dyas, Secretary. On the 3rd June the Grange again assembled and adopted a Constitution and By-laws and Declaration of Principles. HISTORY OF THE GRANGK. They arranged to hold their first regular annual meeting in Toronto, on the 22d September, 1 874, to be composed of two delegates from each subordinate Grange in the Dominion, and the officers just elected. It will be observed from the tenor of the resolution passed that the members acknowledged the National Grange as the parent institution, and looked up to it for organization and guidance. They felt that in making the temporary organization they were only doing as they were authorized by the promises of the deputy of the National Grange. The Master and Secretary were ordered to correspond with the Master of the National Grange, and ask hira to arrange for the permanent organization at the meeting to be held in Toronto. After the meeting was over and the members separated, the troubles commenced. The Secretary found himself with a great deal of M'ork to be done, printing to be prepared, organization to be pushed forward — and not one cent in the Treasury. To add to all this trouble several of the Granges repudi- ated the action of their delegates, notably Georgian Grange, which refused to acknowledge the Dominion Grange. The Deputy of the National Grange also felt it to be his duty to oppose the Dominion Grange. Mr. Hill, however, succeeded in arranging matters with the deputy and other Granges. By showing a bold front and heartily endors- ing the Dominion Grange, he frustrated the ettbrts of the opposition; and Mr. Dyas, feeling sure of the ultimate success of the Grange, advanced the money to carry on the work. The next difficulty which presented itself will be best explained by the following circular, sent to the Mas- ters of Canadian Granges : — LovDOX, Ont., Aagust 11th, 1874. Dear Sib and Bkotheb, — Acuording to instrnetiona of the Dominion Grange, a eopy of oar reAolution, separat- ing ourselTes from the National Orange, and asking fur recognition from them of the Dominion Orange, as an independent bodj, accompanied hj a letter stating our reasons for this action, and asking their faTOorable consideration, was sent to the Master of the National Orange. No notice has been taken of it by the National Grange or its officer^; and within a few days a Circalar has been sent to the Masters of tonu of the Canadian Granges, ordering them to meet at London on the 18ih day of August, 1874, to form a State Grange. As the Dominion Grange is now in full working order, and succeeding beyond eren our anticipations, and as we hare already organised a large number of Subordinate Granges, it is impossible for us to take any notice of the above-mentioned circular. Many of the Subordinate Granges, organized under the National Orange, have passed resolutions severing their connection with the National Grange, and giving iu their adhesion to the Dominion Grange. , „„ , , , The great majority of the Granges in Canada fully approve of our work, and are determined to stand by the Dominion Grange, therefore we leel called upon to state that the Dominion Grange is an estadlmhbd fact, and will so continue. S. W. HILL, THOMAS W. DYAS, Master Dominion Grangt, P.ff. Secretary Dominion Orange, P.H. \ 8 HISTORY OF THE GRANGE. I '> A meeting of the Executive Committee was also called for the 18th August, to be ready to take such action as they might deem necessary. The Master of the National Grange and of the Michigan State Grange arrived on time, but only one. Master obeyed their call, all tho others remaining true to the Dominion Grange ; so the State Grange was not organized. In order to show that there was no ill-feeling the Executive Committee invited the Master of the National Grange and his colleague to lunch, and all parties separated in apparently good humour. On the 22nd September the Dominion Grange met in the Agricul- tural Hall, Toronto, 73 members being present. Forty-four subordi- nate Granges were then in existence, being an increase of 20 since the first meeting. Many of the members had been inrtructed by their Granges to oppose the Dominion Grange, therefore trouble was anticipated, and the first motion made was one calling upon Mr. Dyas for the history of the Dominion Granges and reasons for separation. The desired expla- nations being given, it was moved and carried unanimously, " That the statements be received as perfectly satisfactory." This ended all opposition in the Dominion Grange. A great deal of work was done at this meeting, which lasted two days. Mr. S. W. Hill was appointed as a delegate to go to the annual meeting of the National Grange, and ask for recognition and fraternal relations for the Dominion Grange. He did so, but did not succeed in his mission. He received much kindness from individual members of the National Grange, especially from Mr. William Saunders, the father of the Order ; but he was opposed by others who succeeded in preventing the National Grange from taking favourable action. The second annual meeting of the Dominion Grange was held in Toronto, on the 27th, 28th and 29th of October, 1875. The Committee on Cre- dentials reported 62 members present entitled to votes. 246 Granges were reported as organized up to date, and there was a balance in the treasury of $1656.40. Mr. S. W. Hill was re-elected Master. The Secretary, Mr. T. W. Dyas, finding the work too much to attend to in connection with his own business, was compelled to decline re-election» and Mr. \V. Pemberton Page, of Fonthill, was elected in his place. Mr. Chase, Master of the New Hampshire State Grange, and member of the National Executive Committee, who had taken some interest in ' HISTORY OF THE GRANGE. 9 U the progress of the Grange in Canada, was present on the invitation of Mr. Hill, and addressed the meeting. Mr. Hill also delivered his annual address which, like all his m ork, was carefully prepared and good in every point. Various alterations were made in the Constitu- tion and By-laws, which the working of the Grange had shown to be necessary. The ninth session of the National Grange was held in Louisville, Kentucky, on the 17th November, 1875. Mr. Chase, of New Hamp- shire, read the following report of the Committee on Foreign Relations, which was adopted : — *' Your Committee on Forei^ Relations beg leave to present the (ollowin; report tor the ooosiden- tion of the National Orange : " The great need of the agriculturist is association, combination, and co-operation. " By association we bring together the various individuals who, separately and isolated, are unknown to each other in the strict sense of knowing each other's desires, vants, and aspirations. Isolated by tbeir occupation, which in many other cases tends to bring people together. High hills, impassable ravines, and broad rivers often separate and make as strangers those who till the soil. " Our occupation requires that we should cultivate our lands with diligence, to plant our seeds in dne season, to care for the growing crops at all times, and to harvest them when ripened for the store- hnnse. " In another portion of this wide world, another people, with different habits, manners, customs, Mid lanfTjage, are labouring on with like cares, hopes, and results. " We associate together for one common purpose, and the stranger in a foreign land may do the same. There is no hostility. There may be no special reason for association among people so different in ttiought, feelings, and language. Education, religion, government, and social relations are distinct and marked by insurmountable barriers. " The labours of the missionary are ever fruitful and beneficial when we send him out to proclaim glad tidings of good-will toward ail. Wo may benefit our fellow-men not by bringing them to us by con- straint, but by showing them how to benefit themselves, and by inviting them to Join with us in labour- tag and toiling on to reach that eternal 'deld within whose gates we can unite in cultivating the mind and gathering the good seed of a well-spent life. " Thus may we, the Patrons of Husbandry, send out our chosen Order to many nations who in various tongues may be recognized as true Patrons. " We may journey from nation to nation, and ever find those who will give us the Patron's grip, who will aidus in distress, and be ever ready to shield our sisters from harm. " While we may not understand or reco};niz8 thb language of our Ritual in a foreign tongue, that ever-ready bond of union may be found to unite us in life, and in death to close the moistureless eye and to pay the last tribute of respect to our lifeless remains. " Let us, while we acknowledge the right of all people of the earth to be free and independent in every respect, always be found ready to recognize fraternal relations among all who are maintaining the rules and regulations of our Order, ordained and established by proper authority. " Let us respect the rights of others as we claim respect from them, and never, while journeying along the p..wiway of life, cast stumbling-blocks in the way of others, nor attempt to remove our neigh- bour's landmarks. " Let us open wide our gates and admit all who, arrayed in proper garments, seek our fold with an honest desire to emulate us in doing well ; and when we enter that blissful abode whore friendship and fraternity are eternal, may we receive that welcome ]>laudit, ' Well done, good and faithful servants.' " Your committee would recommend the adoption of the following resolutions : " Resolved, That the Secretary of the National Orange is hereby instructed to recognize only such deputies in foreign countries as may have been duly appointed by the Worthy Master of the National Orange. " Resolved, That when fifteen Subordinate Oranges shall have been duly organized in any foreign eountry, and the same shall have been organized as a foreign State Orange, and such organization shall have been duly certified to the Secretary of the National Orange, the Secretary shall receive no mora iqjplications for dispensations for Subordinate Oranges within the jurisdiction of such foreign Orange. " Resolved, That the National Orange will recognize lawfully-established Oranges in foreign coun- tries, and that the hand of friendship will always be extended to all true Patrons. " Resolved, That foreign Oranges, lawfully established, are fraternally invited to send accredited representatives to the National Orange, or appoint suitable Patrons resident in the United States to bear from such foreign Oranges tokens of good-will and amity, and to maintain forever such fraternal relations as will cement us in the bonds of friendship, and to per]}etuate in essentials Unity, In non-essentials liberty, and in all things Charity." Toward the end of the session Mr. Chase brought in p.nother report which was adopted as follows : aanrswaw IIKJl iiH W M B M B a W 10 HISTORY OF THE GRANGE. 1 " Your Committee on Forel^ Relations, to whom was referred so much of the report of the Execu- tive Committee as related to the condition of the Order in the Dominion of Canada, have had the matter under consideration, and beg leave to make the following report : " Prior to February 4, 1874, eleven Subordinate Oranges were organized in Canada by a deputy of the National Grange, and subsequently and before June 2, 1874, fifteen Subordinate Oranges were organized without authority. " The application and fees therefor were received and the dispensations were issued by the Secretary of the National Orange. "\Vhen such Subordinate Oranges were organized representations were made that the subordinate Granges in Canada should have an organization separate from and independent of the National Grange. " llie Patrons in Canada, relying on the aforesaid representations, on the second day of June, 1874, organized the Dominion Grange of Canada, fouudcd mainly on the constitution, by-laws, rules, and regulations of the National Grange. '' The Dominion Grange has continued to increase in a rapid manner, and now contains within its jnrisdictior. about two hundred and fifty Subordinate Oranges and many Division Oranges, and under a wise and careful supervision, is now in a prosperous condition. " Since the organization of ;,he Dominion Orange, a few Subordinate Oranges have been organized by deputies of the National Orange, and applications and fees therefor have been received and dispensa- tions Issued by the Secretary of the National Orange. " Yoiu: conunittce would recommend the adoption of the following resolutions : " Retolved, That the Worthy Master of the National Grauge be requested to appoint no more deputies to organize Subordinate Oranges within the Jurisdiction of Dominion Orange of Canada. "Retolved, That the Secretary of National Orange be instructed to receive no more applications for dispensations for Subordinate Oranges within the jurisdiction of Dominion Orange of Oanaaa. '' Which is respectfully submitted." Since the meeting of the Dominion Grange work has progressed far beyond the expectation of the most sanguine ; and what is even better, old Granges are reported as working successfully and with profit to their members. / The Executive Committee have held three meetings, two at Toronto and one at Brantford, and will hold the next at Toronto. The Master has had his hands full, looking after the interests of the Grange, decid- ing knotty questions, and attending committee meetings, both of the Grange and of Parliament. The new Secretary, Mr. W. Pemberton Page, has had to devote his whole time to the work, and has made himself many new friends by his promptness in correspondence and energy in carrying out the work. ,; V SUGGESTIONS TO PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY WHO DESIRE TO ORGANIZE PATRONS' CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS. It would be well for those who desire to organize a Patrons' Co-operative Association to apply to the Subordinate Grange within whose limits the Association is to be located, to adopt Article 37 of the Rules. Any members of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry in good standing may, with or without the consent of such Subordinate Grange, proceed to organize a Co-operative Association by obtaining subscriptions^ to the fol- lowing articles of agi'eement : We the undersigned, members of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, agree, each for Jumself, to take the number of Shares affixed to our respective names, in accordance toith the Itules for Patrons' Co-operative Associations.

The members of the Association will vote — 1 . To adopt the Rules for Co-operative Associations ; 2. To elect four, six, or eight Directors of the Association ; 3. To elect two or four Auditors ; 4. To proceed to the election of officers. The permanent officers having been elected by ballot, the Association will then vote — ^ 1.

The certificate should not be delivered until the Share shall be paid for, in cash, to the Treasurer. The Secretary and Treasurer should each keep a record of the certificates, together with all transfers of the same. The Directors should then appoint one or more of their number to make such purchases for the Association, as the Directors may authorize, and should also select suitable persons to act as salesmen, and should assign to them such duties and compensation as the Directors may think fit. The Directors should have printed on good, stifi* pasteboard a number of trade-checks, about as follows for each $1000 of anticipated business : 1 cent, 3000 ; 10 cents, 1000 ; $ 1.00, 400 2 cents, 2000 ; 25 cants, 600 ; $ 5.00, 200 5 cents, 4000 ; 50 cents, 400 ; $10.00, 100 The trade-checks should be from two to three inches long and about one inch wide. It is well to have the trade-checks of different colors : 1, 2, and 5 cents, white; 10, 25, and 50 cents, yellow; $1.00, red; $5.00, blue; and $10.00, gray. Any other trade-checks may be issued to coiTespond with the currency. Rules should be established to regulate the times for changing the smaller trade-checks for those of larger denomination, and to declare that none but $1.00, $5.00, and $10.00 checks should be placed on the check-books for the purpose of dividends, of pi-ofits, or of interest on capital.

THE MANAaSMENT OF SUBORDINATE ORANGES. [O a well ordered and successful suboi'dinate Grange there are cer- tain elements! and qualities quite indispensable. Notably among- these is a perfect knowledge of the objects of the Order, and a thorough education in the work of the Grange room. These, coupled with prompness and regularity of attendance, unity of action, and determination of purpose, will ensure success. Upon the Subordinate Grange depends, to a large extent, the success of the whole scheme, as each one is an essential part of the one great whole, hence the necessity of each and all being thoroughly educated in the principles of the Order and mode of conducting the work, as uniformity and concert of action are necessary adjuncts to its prosperity. " To those who read aright, history proves that in all ages society is fragmentary, and successful results of general welfare can be secured only by general effort. Unity of action cannot be acquired without discipline, and discipline can- not be enforced without significant organization ; hence we have a ceremony of initiation which binds us in mutual fraternity as with a band of iron ; but although its influence is so powerful, its application is as gentle as that of the silken thread that binds a wreath of flowers." Any new fraternity has much to learn before it can be said to be well founded and established, particularly so is this the case among members who have never been con- nected with any other similar society. Among farmers we find many who from the peculiarities of their business, their isolated position, have not had opportunities of social intercourse and connection with societies established for the promotion of social and material advancement of their members. Hence the necessity of more diligent study and labor to become familiar with the work in hand. In newly organized Granges the first duty of members should be to study to become familiar with the works of the ritual. Its teachings are elevat- ing and instructive lessons, and to become well versed in the proceedings is necessary, that we may conduct our meeting, particularly the cermony of initiation, properly and without hesitation. After becoming familiar with this part, the business, or material part of the work, will present itself ; and in this we should be governed by an enlightened wisdom ; not that principle that requires all advantages to be on our side, but a broad and liberal principle that advocates equal rights ; treats with respect and ac- knowledges the necessity of every legitimate calling. We have been labor- ing under difficulties in the past from our lack of organization and conse- quent inability to compete with other callings, and to prevent the encroach- ments of organized capital, which in many cases had proved giant monopo- - THE MANAOKMKNT OF SUROKDINATE OllAKOKS 10 ■i' ORANQE IN SESSION. 20 TIIK MANAOKMKNT OK Hl'HOKUINATK GRANGES.
