tions read and-referred back, and Hon.
J, II. Smith added to the committee.
Report ot Uommittee on the State
of the Order received and amended.
Moved and carried that tbe report as
amended be adopted, On motion the
committee was discharged.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON THE STATE.
OF THE ORDER.
Your committee on State of tbe
Order beg leave to report:
That, notwithstanding our Order
having been but recently organized in
Oregon and Washington Territory,
we have acclompislied muoh towards
the furtherance of our objects and prin
ciples, and from tbe earnestness with
which our people are entering into the
movement, we feel confident that we
can and will succeed in carrying out
our purposes.
jcesolvect, ibat in audition to tbe
various purposes of the Patrons of
Husbandry, as set forth in the Consti
tution and By-Laws, looking to our
social, intellectual and material ad
vancement, we, as the State Grange
of Oregon and Washington Territory,
behove it our duty to mature and put
in practice, through our subordinate
and State Grange) at the earliest pos
sible date, the most feasible plan for
accomplishing the following objects.
first x be establishment ot a co
operative system of trade, by wbioh
producers and oonsumers shall deal as
directly with each other as possible.
seoond lhe purchase oflarming
implements, machinery and sacks at
tbe manfacturers' lowest rates, making
no invidious distinction in the mode
of purchasing headers,. mowing ma
chines and farming implements.
third lbe disposal ot our grain
and other farm productions at the
highest market value, or direct ship
ments on the most favorable terms, or
tbe storage of our grain at low rates,
drawing upon it advances to the lar
gest amount practicable, at the lowest
rates of interest, receiving saok for
sack in its delivery.
f ourth Tbe establishment ot
Grange stores. ,
b if ill '1 be gradual substitution of
cash for credit system.
oixth lbe eventual introduction of
shipment in bulk.
Resolved, That we believe it our
duty to endeavor to secure by all le
gitimate means such legislation as will
best protect us against all ills ot wlnou
we may justly complain, to labor tor
reduction and regulation of railroad
freights and fares, and the reduction
and regulation oi ooean freights by
reducing port charges, by abolishing
tbe present system of re-ohartering
ships, by giving timely information to
ship owners throughout tbe world ot
., . i. e.
tne amount oi jreigui, we oan luruisn
them, with a view lo chartering sum
cient tonnage for our own purposes,
and by offering other inducements to
draw to our coast such shipping as
will amply meet the requirements ot
each season, including among tnese
nduceraents the importation to our
State of the best classes of European
laborers.
lletohed. That the interest of far
mers, mechanics and our laboring
classes are too closely allied to admit
of any estrangement, and we deem it
bur duty to patronize home mechanics
in prelerence to toroign, and would
here say that ours is not an organiza
tion tor tbe purpose ot reducing or
degrading meobauical or neld labor;
but we consider it our best interest to
bestow liboral patronage and fair re
munerative wages on tho mechanical
and laboring skill of the country.
Althougb we propose to dispense with
the services of the middlemen, and
buy directly from the manufacturer,
while we ship direct to the consumer,
we fail to eee in wbat way the rae-
ebamo or laboring man is to be injur
ed. Our experience proves there is a
material difference between the maim-'
facturers' prices and that of the retail
dealer; also between tbe producer's
prices and that of the Europern' eon-'
sumer. These differences being in
our favor, wben we deal directly with
tbe manufacturer and consumer, we
have money left to pay for other manu
factured articles, and extend our vari
ous enterprises, thus increasing, in
stead of diminishing, the demand for
mechanical and other skilled labor.
An address, sent out by the Execu
tive Committee of the State Grange
ofCalifornia, was read by Worthy Dep
uty N. W. Oarreston.
The Committee on Resolutions, to
wboin was referred their report, repor
