It. M. (iurncy, A. J. Pitman, It. P.
Olds, were appointed committee on state
of the Order, add made the following
itt:rour.
Your committee on state o.' the Order
beg leave to report that, notwithstanding
our Older having been but recently or
ganized In Oregon ami Washington
Territory, we have accomplished much
toward the furtherance of our objects
and principles, and from the earnestness
witli which our people are entering into
the movement, we feel coulldeiit that we
can and will succeed In carrying out our
purposes.
Resolved, That, In addition to the va
rious purposes of the Patrons of Hus
bandry, ns set forth in the Constitution
and Bv-I.aw, looking to nurxocinl, Intel
lectual, and material advancement, we.
as the State Orange ot Oregon anil
Washington Territory, believe It our
duty to mature and put In practice, thro'
our Subordinate and Plalo Oranges, at
the earliest possible date, the most feasi
ble plan for accomplishing the following
objects :
I. The establishment of a cooperative
system nf trade, by which producers and
consumers shall ileal as illuetly with
each other as xmllle.
-. Thepuiciiasoof farming Implements
machinery and sacks at thomauufactur
luieis' lowest latcs, making no invidious
distinction In .the mode of purchasing
headers, mowing machines, and farming
implements.
3. The disposal of our grain and other
farm productions at the highest market
value, or direct shipments on the most
favorable tenu, or tho storage of our
grain at low rates, drawing upon It ad
vances to the largest amount practicable,
at the lowest rates nf Interest, receiving
sack for sack In its delivery.
L Tlie establishment nf Oramrestoies.
6. The gradual snlistitiitlon nf theeiiNli
for the credit system.
0. The eventual Introduction of ship-..
mem in iiiiik.
Resolved, That we believe It our duty
to endeavor lo secure, by all legitimate
means, such legislation as will best pro
tect us against all Ills of which wo may
Justly complain, to labor for reduction
and regulation of railroad freights and
fares, fllld tllM rislnntlilli unit r.tmiliittmi .if
ocean freights by reducing port charges, I
by abolishing the present system of ro '
eiiartciingblilp, hy giving timely infor
mation to ship owners throughout the
world of the amount of freight we can
furnish them, wlth'a view to chartering
sutllclcut tonnage for our own purposes,
and by oll'erlug other inducements to
draw to our coast such shipping as will
amply meet the requirements of each
season, including among theso Induco
ineuts thelinjMiriatiou to our State of the
lest elasfc of European lahorci.
Resolved, That the Interestsof tarmors,
mechanics, ami our laboring classes are
too closely allied to admit of any es
trangement, and wvdeeui it our duty to
patronize ho.iie mechanics In preference
to foreign, ami would here sav that our
Is not an organization for the purpo-eof
reducing or degrading mechanical or
Held labor, hut we consider it our best
Interest to hostow llhcra! patronage and
remunerative wages on the mechanical
and laltoriug skill of tho country. Al
though we propose to dispense with the
services of the middlemen, and buy di
rectly fiom the manufacturer, while wo
ship direct to the consumer, wo fall to
see In what way tho mechanic or laboring
man Is to lie Injured. Our experience
already proves there s a material dlller
euce between the mamifactureis' prices
and those of the retail dealer, also be
tween tho producei's price and that of
thu Kuiopcau consumer. These dlller
enceit being In our favor, when we deal
directly with the manufacturer and
consumer, we have money left to pay
other manufactured articles, and extend
our various enterprise, thus Increasing,

IMIInr WlllnirtU1 l'.irmor:
While the farmers of this country aie
endeavoring to regulate lallway compa
nies and other moneyed coiporatlous,
they must not forget to use their Inllu
coco to break down our present system
of banking. Not that the whole system
of national hanks should be abolished,
but radically changed In some particu
lars. There Is no elasticity in the cur
rency of this nation. No doubt that our
present banking system Is excellent In
securing the bill-holder, but at the same
time It Is as Inelastic as a I'rociustcau
Iron bedstead. That our present system
Is wrong, has been cleaily demonstrated
In the failure of tho banking house of
Jay Cooke & Co., which has produced a
llnauelal panic in New York, Philadel
phia, and Washington. Far-seeing men
have warned the country of the danger
attending the endeavor to carry on the
great business of this country upon our
present volume of eutreney, but their
warnings have been unheeded, ,'lhe
crash has come. Jay Cooke, the leading
stockholder and negotiator of the bomb
for the building of the Northern Paclllc
Railway, leading member of thcSyndlc
ate for thu negotiation of thu United
Slates government bonds In Europe, has
been compelled to suspend business on
account of thu htrlngeiiey of the money
market. This man, who came forward
and took the government bonds when the
nation's resources were gone, 'and In a
deadly civil war, has brought ruin upon
nimcir, ticeause, under the present sys
tem, there seemed no remedy.
It Is believed liy leading bankers of the
country that ths erash resulted from (lie
want of Niilllclent currency to do the
business of tlie country. But the ipies
tlon nrlsc: What Is tho remedy? It
would seem that the only road out oftlils
contusion and hard times Is to open Un
read to all, and Introduce a system of
free banking. No definite limit should
, he given to the circulation of thccuiieii
ey. There can be no "lock tips" of
'currency under a freu system. When a
stringency occur in tho marker, let
there bo a deposit of bonds with the
Treasurer of the United Slates, who
shall, in return, issue noted. This has
been the policy adopted In England.
whcio It bus been resorted to time thins
under a tight money market. Yet the
currency of England Is rigid and Inflexi
ble. What we want Is u system unre
stricted and free, conditioned only im
umuliruittn Immlril mrurltyfor titirlr
dilution. I.el every person, who has the
necessary capital and sccuilty, have
eipial rights to establish banks and Issue
circulation. This Will lip inoiu reason.

England Slates have. nlwiivs lenl

drawn from them and given to tlie other
sections of the country, but tills could
not ho accomplished without producing a
financial panic- and a couuiiciclal dlias
ter. Let the fanners speak In this matter.
It Is their business to remedy all the
evils, or lend their Inllueiice In doing so,
which oppress tills country. It Is as es
Nejitlal to thu fanner that this country
has a sound currency as it U lo tho nici
chant or any other cltl.un. Thu falluic
of Jay Cooke & Co. has taught a le.iou
which should bear fruits. Congress
