HISTORY OF THE GRANGE.

\

MECHANICS,Tradesmen, Professional men, find it both to theirpleasure and interest to unite in societies with members oflike 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 oftheir own especial fortunes. The isolation of farmers is proverbial,Living as they necessarily must at greater distances apart than theinhabitants of cities and towns, friendly intercourse is not so con-venient, and although their interests conflict less than do those of anyother business, and though their aims are exactly alike, they rarelymake their plans in unison, but each man lays out and ex-ecutes his work by his own light, without advice or council from hisneighbours. Various means have been tried for overcoming this evil.Farmers' clubs, it was thought, w^ould prove a remedy ; and they werepartially successful, but they had not those elements of union andsecrecy 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, conceivedthe idea of the Grange, i..ie first farmers' organization which ever took afirm hold. In August of 1867 they laid their plans before severalother 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. Duringthe first year ten Granges were organized. 39 dispensations weregranted 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


10/41

HISTORY OF THE ORANOK.Master. 1105 new granges were reported as having been organizedduring the previous year.

During the year 1872, Eben Thompson, a Deputy of the NationalGrange, was sent into the Province of Quebec to organize Granges inconnection with the National Grange. The first organized was the In-ternational at Stanstead, Quebec. During tlie year eight otherCrianges were organized in Quebec, and one in Ontario at L'Orignal

;

but the order did not appear to flourish, although some of the Grangeshad a large membership. Some of them never met, and the work didnot 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 : " Atthe beginning of the year there had been established 1362 Granges, andon the 31st of December there were 10,029, showing an increase inthe number of subordinate Granges of 8667 for the year 1873." Inthe 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 becomeinternational. Received as information."

Mr. Thompson's permit to organize Granges in Canada having nowexpired, he asked Mr. Adams, the Master of the National Grange, to re-new it, which Mr. Adams refused to do. Nevertheless, Mr. Thompsondetermined to return to Canada and organize what Granges he could.Coming to London, Ontario, he called upon Mr, Weld, the editor ofthe Farmer^ Advocate and explained to him and to several others, whoafterwards became members, that ten Granges were already organiaedand that the Executive Committee of the National Grange had agreedthat 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 theCanadian Grange he referred to the passage above quoted from theAnnual Report.

Feeling that the Grange was just what was needed, and that as aCanadian Institution it would succeed, Mr. Weld and those about himdid their utmost personally and through the press to aid Mr. Tliompson.The great hinderance to immediate success was the fact that the Grange

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 theNational Grange, and lie, although aware that Mr. Thompson was notauthorized to organize Granges, accepted the fees and sent boxes and

Several members of the order wish'-ig further guarantee that the15 Granges, when formed, might organize themselves into an independ-ent Dominion Grange, wrote to the Master and Secretary of the NationalGrange, but could receive no satisfaction, the Master never replying, andSecretary only stating that he had referred the letter to the Master.These delays and disappointments alarmed many of the Canadianmembers. 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 GrangeThe motion was heartily adopted, and notices of the meeting wereimmediately sent out, and on the 2nd of June, 1874, the followingmembers 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, JamesArmstrong, Thomas Dougherty, D. Ferguson, H. Weld, Henry Anderson, H. Payne,Henry Palmer, and William Uole25 in all.The Grange being opened, Mr. Thomas W. Dyas was called upon to

give his reasons for calling the meeting. He explained the positionof affairs substantially as above set lorth, and showed that the successof the Grange in Canada depended upon its independence, financiallyand otherwise, from the National Grange. In conclusion he movedthe following resolution : " That the time has now come when it isnecessary 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 strongenough 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 ; heit therefore reoolved, that we hereby consider ourselves a Dominion Grange ; that weapply to the National Grange to organise us as such ; that in the metntime we grantdispensations to subordinate Granges until a final separation from' the United States iseffected.

"

Mr. S. W. Hill, of Ridgeville, was elected Master, and Mr. ThomasW. Dyas, Secretary. On the 3rd June the Grange again assembledand adopted a Constitution and By-laws and Declaration of Principles.


13/41

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 fromeach subordinate Grange in the Dominion, and the officers just elected.It will be observed from the tenor of the resolution passed that themembers acknowledged the National Grange as the parent institution,and looked up to it for organization and guidance. They felt that inmaking the temporary organization they were only doing as they wereauthorized by the promises of the deputy of the National Grange.The Master and Secretary were ordered to correspond with the Masterof the National Grange, and ask hira to arrange for the permanentorganization at the meeting to be held in Toronto. After the meetingwas over and the members separated, the troubles commenced. TheSecretary found himself with a great deal of M'ork to be done, printingto be prepared, organization to be pushed forwardand not one cent inthe Treasury. To add to all this trouble several of the Granges repudi-ated the action of their delegates, notably Georgian Grange, whichrefused to acknowledge the Dominion Grange. The Deputy of theNational Grange also felt it to be his duty to oppose the DominionGrange. Mr. Hill, however, succeeded in arranging matters with thedeputy and other Granges. By showing a bold front and heartily endors-ing the Dominion Grange, he frustrated the ettbrts of the opposition; andMr. Dyas, feeling sure of the ultimate success of the Grange, advancedthe money to carry on the work. The next difficulty which presenteditself 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 theDominion Orange, as an independent bodj, accompanied hj a letter stating our reasonsfor this action, and asking their faTOorable consideration, was sent to the Master of theNational 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 CanadianGranges, ordering them to meet at London on the 18ih day of August, 1874, to form aState Grange.As the Dominion Grange is now in full working order, and succeeding beyond erenour anticipations, and as we hare already organised a large number of SubordinateGranges, 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 passedresolutions severing their connection with the National Grange, and giving iu theiradhesion to the Dominion Grange. , , , ,The great majority of the Granges in Canada fully approve of our work, and aredetermined to stand by the Dominion Grange, therefore we leel called upon to state thatthe 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.

A meeting of the Executive Committee was also called for the 18thAugust, 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 thoothers remaining true to the Dominion Grange ; so the State Grangewas not organized. In order to show that there was no ill-feeling theExecutive Committee invited the Master of the National Grange andhis colleague to lunch, and all parties separated in apparently goodhumour.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 thefirst meeting.Many of the members had been inrtructed by their Granges tooppose the Dominion Grange, therefore trouble was anticipated, and thefirst motion made was one calling upon Mr. Dyas for the history ofthe Dominion Granges and reasons for separation. The desired expla-nations being given, it was moved and carried unanimously, " Thatthe statements be received as perfectly satisfactory." This ended allopposition in the Dominion Grange. A great deal of work was doneat this meeting, which lasted two days.

Mr. S. W. Hill was appointed as a delegate to go to the annualmeeting of the National Grange, and ask for recognition and fraternalrelations for the Dominion Grange. He did so, but did not succeed inhis mission. He received much kindness from individual members ofthe National Grange, especially from Mr. William Saunders, thefather of the Order ; but he was opposed by others who succeeded inpreventing the National Grange from taking favourable action. Thesecond 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 Grangeswere reported as organized up to date, and there was a balance in thetreasury of $1656.40. Mr. S. W. Hill was re-elected Master. TheSecretary, Mr. T. W. Dyas, finding the work too much to attend to inconnection with his own business, was compelled to decline re-electionand Mr. \V. Pemberton Page, of Fonthill, was elected in his place.Mr. Chase, Master of the New Hampshire State Grange, and memberof the National Executive Committee, who had taken some interest in

the progress of the Grange in Canada, was present on the invitation ofMr. Hill, and addressed the meeting. Mr. Hill also delivered hisannual address which, like all his m ork, was carefully prepared andgood in every point. Various alterations were made in the Constitu-tion and By-laws, which the working of the Grange had shown to benecessary.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 unknownto each other in the strict sense of knowing each other's desires, vants, and aspirations. Isolated bytbeir occupation, which in many other cases tends to bring people together. High hills, impassableravines, 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 indne 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 inttiought, feelings, and language. Education, religion, government, and social relations are distinct andmarked by insurmountable barriers." The labours of the missionary are ever fruitful and beneficial when we send him out to proclaimglad 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 andgathering the good seed of a well-spent life." Thus may we, the Patrons of Husbandry, send out our chosen Order to many nations who invarious 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, whowill 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, thatever-ready bond of union may be found to unite us in life, and in death to close the moistureless eye andto 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 inevery respect, always be found ready to recognize fraternal relations among all who are maintaining therules 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 journeyingalong 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 anhonest desire to emulate us in doing well ; and when we enter that blissful abode whore friendship andfraternity 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 suchdeputies in foreign countries as may have been duly appointed by the Worthy Master of the NationalOrange." Resolved, That when fifteen Subordinate Oranges shall have been duly organized in any foreigneountry, and the same shall have been organized as a foreign State Orange, and such organization shallhave been duly certified to the Secretary of the National Orange, the Secretary shall receive no moraiqjplications 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 accreditedrepresentatives to the National Orange, or appoint suitable Patrons resident in the United States to bearfrom such foreign Oranges tokens of good-will and amity, and to maintain forever such fraternal relationsas will cement us in the bonds of friendship, and to per]}etuate in essentials Unity, In non-essentialsliberty, and in all things Charity."

Toward the end of the session Mr. Chase brought in p.nother reportwhich was adopted as follows

:

" 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 matterunder consideration, and beg leave to make the following report

:

" Prior to February 4, 1874, eleven Subordinate Oranges were organized in Canadaby a deputy of theNational Grange, and subsequently and before June 2, 1874, fifteen Subordinate Oranges were organizedwithout authority." The application and fees therefor were received and the dispensations were issued by the Secretaryof the National Orange."\Vhen such Subordinate Oranges were organized representations were made that the subordinateGranges 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, andregulations of the National Grange.

'' The Dominion Grange has continued to increase in a rapid manner, and now contains within itsjnrisdictior. about two hundred and fifty Subordinate Oranges and many Division Oranges, and under awise and careful supervision, is now in a prosperous condition." Since the organization of ;,he Dominion Orange, a few Subordinate Oranges have been organizedby 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 moredeputies 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 fordispensations 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 totheir members. /The Executive Committee have held three meetings, two at Toronto

and one at Brantford, and will hold the next at Toronto. The Masterhas had his hands full, looking after the interests of the Grange, decid-ing knotty questions, and attending committee meetings, both of theGrange and of Parliament. The new Secretary, Mr. W. PembertonPage, has had to devote his whole time to the work, and has madehimself many new friends by his promptness in correspondence andenergy in carrying out the work.
