Perhaps all who intended to ac aept our offer of the American Farm er free to those over one year in ar rears have done so, and now we make the same, offer to all who will sub scribe to the Patron and to all old subscribers who will pay in advance, between now and the first of July, if the' desire it and say so at the time they1 subscribe or renew. This offer of two papers for the price of one ought, wc think, to induce many old subscribers to pay. a year in ad vance, and add many new names to our list. We ask our friends who now take the Patrg-n to make this ' tvc uli a a offer known to their neighbors and ask them to subscribe now. If you will do this, friends, we feel sure some will accept the offer. Remem ber the paper we offer is a large 16 page illustrated farm Journal, filled with good, interesting reading, and the subscription price of which is $1. ii year, yet we 'offer it FREE ! We have so often asked Patrons to write for their Grange organ with such little success, that we begin to feel that it is almost useless to ask them again, but in view of the good fool j - c - wuueuw.rauunuieiuti your paper. It is your, and repre- j senta the Order which, if you are a j true Patron, you desire to grow and orosner. And we are sure you are not so silly as to think that the way to prosper the Grange is to keep qui-! et and say nothing about it, nor will we accept the plea, if such you offer, "I cannot write." It is not true, and vou know it.

Never in the history of the United States was there such a great and universal uprising among the masses of the people, as Is now witnessed in our country. From center to circum ference the people' are aroused, and their minds are engaged in matters j which hitherto they had given no I thought, only as they heard them 'from the stump in a hotly contested,; camnaiun. lhe education of tip , people, begun in the Grange and j continued in otnerorganizations, has ; resulted in an awakening of the peo-, t, . U1C L W L V J L Li Ir: I I ill I v H IS I I I M I. . " v" true condition is an earnest inquiry J I -an inquiry that "means business as to why, with all their toil, they do not prosper as do others, but grow ! 1 ute i worse. And having discovered some i i with a voice that means to be heard, , they are demanding the removal of i these causes. The lion has been aroused, and there is fire in his eyes and vengeance in his low but signifi cant growl, and woe be to the lying politician that has deceived him to quietude, while the money kins have stclan-his rightful prey.. What will be the final result of this great awakening among the toil ing millions o f our country, we cannot tell, but with honest, wise leaders we may hope' for better times, and that our people will be saved from "the ruin that threated them. If they can escape the danger of hurtful divisions among themselves and gf unwise an ; dishonest leaders, all will be well we think. Be Charitable in Criticisms. While we believe ia the freedom of speech, the right of one to ex press his opinion of matters, or the acts of another, on which he is prop erly informed, yet we think there is entirely too much criticism and fault finding in regard to the official acts of men in office, which comes from the liack of information and a proper understanding of the matter com plained of, to say nothing of that which originates from a disposition, which seems to be natural, to com plain. We do not seek to excuse those who do wrong, or ask. our people to hold their tongue when there is cause for complaint. You should, watch and scrutinize the acts of those you put in office. If they do wrong, tell them of it, and score them as severe ly as necessity demands. But be sure there is a true and just cause, before you pass the sentence of con demnation. You may not under stand the matter, or you may be mis informed in regard thereto. Your view of a State legislative act may be too narrow and circumscribed by Dersonal or local interests, while that ., T . , . . , f tjje Legislator must be more ex- tended and take in the whole State. F.armers have sense and good judgement, but it is not expected that they should understand and view matters of interest to the whole State or Nation, as do those, who as semble in the legislative halls and hear these matters discussed in all their bearing. Farmer A is all right, and has the confidence of his people. Send him to the Legislature or Congress, and well, he don't do j like we thought he would And he j De8 not escape merciless criticism. 1 And then, you remember none are 1 fror fmm Prrnr 4nd it. i n mnph , - easier to see ana eruicise errors at- ter thtT are committed, than it is to j avoid them. n consideration of these things.

Whereas, the Southern Inter-State Im migration Bureau has decided to hold in the City of Raleigh, N. C.,' during the months of October and Xdvember A. D. 1891, an Exposition of Southern pro- ducts ; and Whereas, the General Assembly of j cally and murderous practice of the a North Carolina has made appropriation J dulterators of food and drugs. for the purpose of displaying tbe pro- ducts of the State at the Columbian ex position in Chicago in 1893. And in accordance with the request of the progressive sorth Carolinians in convention assembled in the City of Raleigh, JJ". C, May 13th and 14th, 1891, I, Thomas M. Holt, Governor of North Carolina, proclaim to the people of this State the necessity of fully co-operatirg with the Southern Inter-State Immigra tion Bureau,' and the commissioners in charge of the Columbian exhibit for North Carolina. And I request prog ressh e citizens in each county to meet the Justices of the Peace and County Commissioners at their respective Coun ty Seats and urge the appropriation of such a sum of money as may beseemed necessary to have the resources of each County fully shown to capitalists, man ufacturers and home seekers that will visit the Southern Exposition in this ci iy during October and November and at Chicago in 1893. The State appropria tion is not sufficient to make such an exhibit as this State is capable of show ing. Therefore, I most earnestly urge those County Officers having the inter est of the people in charge, and all wish ing to see this grand State of ours prop erly exhibited to the World, to give this hoportant matter their most earnest at tention. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina, at the City of Ral eigh; this 22d day day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, and in the one hundred and fifteenth year of our American Independence.

Under Grange guidance the question of ballot reform is being agitated, and will sooner or later reuit in remedying the evils that exist to the discredit of the country and the dmorilization of politics. The Grange' demand, that U.S. Sena tors be elected by the people is gaining ground, and the time is not far distant when a Constitutional Amendment will be submitted, making this important and much to be desired change. The demand for more money came first from the Grange. It has persisted in Iseeping clear of partif an political affiliations in making its fight iu the interest of the people; and will doubtless continue its great ed ucational and industrial work without deviating from the line it has followed so consistently for the last twenty-five years, and wherever it has turned aside from its proper course,, as laid down in its declaration of purposes, it has reaped the reward of failure, which might have ( beeu expected. Grange ideas now p.errnea.te the.coun-, try, and the proof s loond simply by. reference to the "Declaration of Purpo ses,"" which we publish elsewhere, aud which were enunciated at St. Louis. i , 1873. Probably no stronger platfora, was ever written, none more thoroughly, disseminated throughout the whols country, and certainly none, that hai. ever taken such strong' hold upon sill, classes of the people even among those who have never read it in entirety, and who would be astonished, ifnot indignant to know they were preaching Grange doctrines, and that the clod-hoppers had first enunciated the prim-iples they so warmly advocate. The Grange has bean a conservative yet persistent and consistent educator, and as its work is better understood, its field of usefulness will enlarge and its teachings extend, until its grand con servatism permeate- the whole! land, and its teaching and ideas bring about peace, prosperity and plerity, iu a coun try governed by intelligence and hones ty, and where the rights of wealth will be respected and protected but labor and agriculture will seeurre its just share of protection as well.- Nat- Farm and Fireside.
