If tho Granger is not well enough in formed about Direct Trade to approve it, be is bound as a good Patron to get the information, so that the weight of his in fluence may go with hia Order. An editor, who is a Granger, has no right to endite himself or even to publish articles attack ing the action of the State Granges of the fintton States. If he is wiser than his Order and thinks that a mistake has been made, he can easily withdraw from the or eauization. It is permitted to an Apostle "to be all things to all men,'.' but a Grange editc r is not an Apostle It is right to give sniue reasons for the action of our organization that all may un derstand it. ldt. There is not a half edu tnd school bov. who does not know that cotton is uiiide to jump up and down at the bidding of the New York ring. These tYrco.lv cirinnnLTits."' as the L miaville Christian Observer culls them, strike us a double blow every year. They bring down the price of cotton in the Fall, when they know that the farmers are obliged to have monev. The Northern cotton factories do not run their mills on full time in the Win ter. So the speculators have no competi tion and bv combination among themselye: mers into the hands of the Ring. The factories then need cotton. The price is raised to grati fy the greed of the speculators and also to induce Southern farmers to plant more cotton. The factories have to buy at high prices and to cover -their own losses, they put a higher price on their cotton goods, which are mainly uced in our warm cli mate. So Southern farmers are swindled in the Fall in the price of cotton and swin dled in the Spring in' the price of cotton goods. ThusNew York hits us a double , blow every year. Is there a man with ' Southern blood in his veins, who would not be glad to see Southern farmers reliev ed from this doublo wrong ? 2d. Everybody knows that immense for tunes have been made by the dealers in cotton. A small fraction of the profit goes to Southern cotton dealers, who are ope rating on Northern capital. Bat ninety -nine hundredths of the gains go to the New - York speculators. All who handle cotton ought to be paid for their time and trouble by legitimate commissions, but the profits resulting from a rise in price ought to go to those whose toil made the cotton. Is there a man in all the South, who will not assent to this plain proposition ? But this is precisely the principle of the Direct Trade Union. The farmer gets an advance on his cotton equal to three fourths of its market value and he is charged but' 5 per cent, per annum foi the loan of the money. When his cotton is sold (aud he selects his own lime for its Bale), he is paid the other fourth, after deducting commissions, in terest and expenses." . If the price of cot ton advances, the farmer and not the specu lator gets the advantage of the rise. If cotton fill ia value, the farmer will be the loser. Tue cotton in Liverpool is still his until Bold and the depreciation in value falls of course on the owner. But one thing is very certain, the experts in cotton are eager to buy aud they would not be eager, if ibey thought Hat cotton was go ing to decline. Neither would thej fight the Direct Trade movement so fiercely, il they thought that cotton was going to fall in price. The keenness of these most skill ed in cotton to buy and their savage .op position to Direct Trade onght to atisfy the farmers that it is wise to take tm risk of a rise in price. ' ' 3d, There is a danger of shipping cot ton to Liverpool through the New York speculators, which is not appreciated and which can hardly be over-estimated. Busi ness relations between New York and Liv erpool may lead to business combinations between them to the formation of rings to get our cotton cheap. It is of supreme importance to the South to prevent such mgs. It ts to our interest to create a ri vairy between these great cities. This we can do by dealing directly with Liverpool. That city will bid to snnnlv tli Ui.h -factories, while New York will bid to sup- rv lactones of the North. Between wI?.riTOlVe may et a 6od price for ouotton and that which we need especi- ally-a, uniform prie. controlled by the laws of trade and not by speculation. We have other argumenU in favor of D.rect Trade, which we will give from time . to time. Ia the meanwhfle, we challenge argument against it. We acknowledge j agression of the free- however, our inability to meet the onlvof tfae 8Sj h wonld be burned by gument yet brought forth on the othe imnn hancrni.n. , Anything said viz: "I say Direct Trade is a bad t therefore it is a bad thing.' care to reply again to the t Granger in Missouri, we late in Grange money, wi e same made to pay up the we win that the effect hear of the ring me: vigor towards o cheer them o Grange exan? capers nave tit over the defalcation a mu. nr nl T he alt) vxraiiKo v ion " ,. been the sum ci jd by our enemies is that tne II 1 - nnntiJllf by rer was canca upon ubvij;siuij over the money to build a factory. knowledged frankly that he had sed the money in speculating and could not replace il without great saenhce.

He gave also mortgages on two other farms vaiuea at 5,000 and gave bis bond for the balance, $9,200, signed by the three wealthiest men in the county :ono of these was a Mj.-General in the Confederate army, and a Senator from Missouri in the Con- cderate CoDtrress. So the grangers lose 4 u: kt k fnUn nnd crime ot tneir uutuiui: vj nv State Treasurer, accepting as true tuc statements of our enemies. We have a few words of comment. The rangers now have 1100,000 mem- hers. They have necessaruy uuvuouva0 of agents, and yet the ring papers nave onlv been able to throw a slur upon two nfttipan agents one at oan rrancisco v a a w and one at Mexico, Missouri, lho tor mar fwi ld through misfortune and not ujv - Cj through crime.

But why have the Ring papers made such a fuss over these two cubcs? Is it not plainly in order to make the farmers i- -J fu c c- ' " ' Jseep things in the old channels ? Is not the more immediate object to frighten $XRAt'armf- H'f"' the grangers have been successful business men. Af ter all the raking and scraping of their enemies, only two little cases have been brought to light ; in the one, there was a loss through tbe casualties of trade; in the other, no loss was sustained. Oar bitterest foes must admire the vigor aud promptness of the Grangers. They made the defaulter in Missouri sacri fice his property to4make good the mon ey he had improperly used. Tbey showed him no mercy. On the other hand, when a Ring man makes steal, he enlarges his business and a big is all the more honored by his associates as peculiarly shrewd and sharp. By some unknown means, Mecklen burg county has lost $200,000 in the Air line R. R. ten-times the amount used (but not stolen) by tbe Treasurer of the Missouri state Urange. .Let ua investi gate matters a little nearer home before we distress ourselves about that distant State. An Enemy of Charlotte. In looking over a newspaper this week, we noticed an article on combinations or associations of men. There were unions of good men to promote truth, right and justice. There were rings of bad men to carry out their own selfish designs and cheat, swindle and oppress their fellow creatures. In reference to the second class of combinations, the paper said : 'But tbe associations known as rings are altogether different. There is but one point of similarity. They are both combinations ; the one mighty for good; the other equally potent for evil. The' lormer seek for concentration of re sources and influences to benefit the many and diffuse the principles of right eousness and truth among the greatest number; the aim of the latter in com huang money, position or influence, is to benefit the lew at the expense of the many. See this illustrated iu the money ed, polit cal and ecclesiastical i ing9 0f our day. A few individuals of great capital 0" Wall street, come together and decide that any ot the great staples of the laud, e. g., cotton, Bball bring a certain price and no more. Each contributes his quo ta millions it may be to the common fU'id, through which this is to bo achiev ed; and as fast as the staple is thrown upon the market, ibat price it brings and no more. Tbe poor plauters of the South and ber children of loil, who have labor ed, hard, rising early and . working late, are compelled to tell at that price, or hold, which they are unable .to do, and the result is poverty, and ever increasing poverty, while these gTeedy cormorants hold the great staple and reap a harvest of wealth in the rise of prices a few montns later. And this is equally true of k- Tr ay 8rm corporation, which, by such a combination of money power, can bp depressed, ruining small tradesmen and beggaring widows and orphans." .. . This reads like some of the editorials in theSouTHxaN Home, which have been so much denooneed by ihe ring bosses. But it is an editorial in the Christian Ob server of Louisville,. Ky.', of the 25th ol November, 1874 Clearly; that paper is an enemy to Charlotte. It warns the people against the "thoddy sharpers," of New York. It calls tbem "greedy cor- morants." It says that they depress the price of cotton and bring poverty, e?er . . v. ions paper oago w m y ri,.n in the cooa oia v overty," opon tne duuiui a U. fin. against the sharp practices of New York is clearly against the interests of Char lotte. It is plain that if New York be allowed in prate and quietness to fleece and iben skin the Southern' farmer, Charlotte will grow up to be a great city a very London indeed. We can't imprison, torture or even banish the editors of the Christian Obser ver, as in the glorious era of Torquema da of blessed memory. But we might nn a ms mAAtincr and pass resolu tions condemnatory of a paper that tells the people that "the greedy cormorants" . 5 . . ji! .
