COOPERATION.
An Example of tbe Suooeasful Applloa
tion of the Principle.
Tbe Texas Co-operative association, lO'
cated at Ualveston, with subordinate asso
clations in dili'erent portions of tbe state,
is an illustration of what may be done by
co-operation among farmers. Starting in
1878. witb only $2U5 capital, it bas returned
to patrons In profits about ¡j¡l">0.000, and
bas yet in hand a net capital of nearly
$100,01)0. Tbe following arc extracta from
tbe proceedings of its last annual meeting:
The Texas Co-operative Association met
In its eleventh AnnualSession in Turner
Hall, Galveston, 10 a. m., July 31, lSS'J, and
was called to order by It. E. Steele, presl
dent; A. J. Hose, secretary.
H. G. Niblo, S. M. Keds and J. F. Jauies
were appointed as a committee on creden-
tials, and the Association took recess pend
lug the report of the committee.
The committee made its report showing
over one hundred stockholders present.
K. li. Steele, the president, read his re
port as follows:
To tbe Stockholders of Texas Co-operative
Association;
Brethren—In obedience to our by-laws
and the action ot our labt meeting at Bel
ton, we meet to-day in this beautiful island
city, the home ol'our Association, to trans-
act our u ual annual work, and to devise
means to promote the interest of our busi-
ness. Having been chosen president by y out-
board of directors to fill the unexpired
term of Bro. E. W. Smith, deceased, it be-
comes my duty in obeying the former cus-
tom of our meetings to make a written
report. The report of your board ol direc-
tors will iurnish all the Information rela-
tive to it.e management and financial con-
dition of our business necessary to govern
your deliberations at this meeting, and re-
lieves me of the necessity ol making a tab-
ular statement of its present condition. It,
however, gives me pleasure to report that
our business, under the efficient manage-
ment of Bro. J. S. Rogers, is in a healthy
and prosperous condition. When we con-
sider what has been accomplished since
the organization of our Association, we
have good reason to bo proud of the T. C.
A. Bro. ltogers commenced business in
tbis city in August, 1878, with a capital of
two hundred and sixty-iive dollars to op-
erate with, and trade for several years was
small and not very satisfactory, but we are
here in this session with a capital and bal-
auce in the hands of our agent on the
80th of June as follows:
Capital stock IT?,755.00
Undrawn dividend !í,b7.ÜW
< ontlugont fund H'jl.0!
Not profits on last year lP,l'. a.ai
Aggregator a total or 191,15X04
This amount ot capital now in our busi-
ness, I think, is a very good showing, all
things considered. The net profits for the
past year have exceeded those of the year
ending Jnne, 1888, about two thousand dol-
lars. Brethren, our business is not an ex-
periment, but a grand buccosi. We have,
In fact, accomplished through tbe T. C. A.
the object sought under the head of "busi-
ness relations" In our declaration of pur-
poses, to-wlt: "We desiro to bring pro-
ducers and consumors, farmers and manu-
facturers, into the most direct and friendly
relations possible." We are selling to and
buying direct from first hands, and the
members of our association and patrons
who purchase their supplies lrorn tbe T. C.
A. get them at manufacturer's prices, less
the actual expense of handling and distrib-
uting. What moro from a business stand-
point could any reasonable person desire?
Financial co-operation as practiced in our
business distributes wealth amongst the
members of our order who give It their pat-
ronage by saving them the profits of their
labor, and it Is the beBt and only remedy
that I know of that will relieve the farmers
ot our state from their present embarrassed
financial condition. The most Important
question for your consideration at this
meeting, I think, should be to devise some
plan through which those of our order and
others who have not given our business a
thorough trial may be induced to do so. 1
will suggest in this connection that you
authorize your business manager to place
man who is well posted in the field to
lecture and solicit trade, whenever in his
judgment he may deem it to the best inter-
est of tbe association. 1 wish also to call
your attention to the fact that the present
Dullding wo arc occupying does not
lurnish a sufficiency of room, and that you
eonsidsr at this meeting the propriety of
procuring a building that will be more
suitable and that will probably be less ex-
pensive. Your board of directors will in
their report make some recommendations
with reference to changes in our by-laws,
which 1 think should be adopted, us they
ire necessary in order that our by-laws
may be consistent with the Jaw of our
state lor tbe government of private corpo-
rations.
A. J. Rose, secretary, made tho following
report for tbe board of directors:
To tbe President and Members of the T. C.
A., Patrons of liusbaudry:
Brethren—The board of directors have
Instructed me to submit the secretary's
ind auditing committees' reports as the re*
port of the board, showing the condition of

Brethren, eleven years have elapsed since
tbe foundation of this Institution was laid.
It was an experiment by the inexperienced.
It has passed the experimental age. Its
luccesa has been marvelous. From its
•mall beginning, 1878, it has steadily in-
sreased until ita capital stock has reached
>72,755, and bas returned a dividend and
Interest to custom and capital of $143,780;
ind if the net tavlng could be arrived at
Dy our local co-operative stores, we would
all agree that our success bas been marvel-
ous. I refer expressly to th jse associa-
tions that havo approximately compiled
with co-operative rules. In times of pros-
perity we should be moat cautious, lest
•vil days creep upon us unawares. From
an earnest desire lor the prosperity of our
business enterprises, I wish to suggest that
if tbla body can adopt >uch measures as
will secure uniformity In buslneai among
our aaooclatlona, you will have done a
work. Our br4awa exortaa mm
thing and I fear we practice another. It
does appear to me that our best intereat
demands that we should all conform to our
plans, rules and regulations until they are
changed. If any better have been found
let them bo presented and adopted. There
is another question of vital importance:
how best to secure tbe undivided co-oper-
ation of our stockholders. It does appear
to me that for a person to invest his money
in a business of his own and then make hla
purchases elsewhere is acting like a man
who plauts a crop and trusts to chance lor
its cultlvatloa, preferring to work for oth-
ers. Now, if this Is the best method to
pursue we should all know it, so we can
have tho advantage of it. I do not in this
brief report propose to discuss these ques-
tions that I consider of vital importance to
our future prosperity, but they should be
carefully considered by this body, and def-
inite conclusions reached. We cannot af-
ford longer to travel by chance, but by a
plainly marked line. Nothing to my mind
will give our business more strength, pow-
er and influence with all persona. Then
we should provide lor the dissemination of
the plan adopted by this body. Carrying
It out will be tbe strongest argument in its
favor. The possibilities of co-operation
have never been reachcd, and will not be
until we have perfect co-operation. In
hunting around for misrepresentations our
enemies class ua with monopoly. We can
stand a monopoly that distributes the prof-
its among those who earn them.
auditing committee's report.
We your committee beg leave to report
that we havo closely examined the books
of the T. C. A., together with the method
of conducting the business and find every-
thing in very satisfactory condition and the
results of the past year's business all that
could bo reasonably expected, as shown by
the statements in detuil in connection with
this report. The busiuess bus been en-
larged and systematized greatly since last
report, so that tbe facilities for doing busi-
ness and accommodating our growing
trade are much better than heretofore.
We are gratified to note a more general
disposition on the part of local agents to
concentrate their trade tnrough the chan.
neis of co-operation, and it is being more
fully demonstrated every year that it only
requires general harmony on tbe part of
those directly interested in tho business to
make it the most abundant success, and a
source of great profit to the stockholders
and patrons. We would recommend that
separate accounts be kept with the dry
goods and notion departments, as thereby
the net resultB of oach can be more readily
shown, and in this connection suggest that
it might be better that each department be
charged with its own oxpenso account in
making monthly and annual statements-
The tabulated exhibit submitted by audit-
ing committee showed the following grati-
fying results:

Tho following resolution waa'presented
from Pleasant Grove Association, through
its representative, E. H. Thorp.
liesolved, That tbis Association is in
favor ol the strictest economy in conduct-
ing the business of the T. C. A. We arc
opposed to paying high salaries to clerks,
simply because the merchants of Galves-
ton do so: as we can at ail times Becure
efficient clerks at reasonable prices. And
we wish to know if it is neccssary to keep
a purchasing agent all the time in the
north and whether tbe drummer system is
not an expense to the Association more
than the profits derived from tbe scrviccs
rendered. Referred to committee
The Association electcd a board of
thirteen directors as follows : li, E. Steele,
Cotton Gin; A. J. lioso, Salado; A. M. Kel,
lar, Temple; W. 11. Harris, itiehardson;
John B. Long, Husk; J. W. Waitmau, Jew-
ett; J, C. lsbell, Temple; W. 1'. Miles, Le-
vita; S. M. Beds, Prairie Lea; J. W. Paige,
Tunis; G. B. Lundy, Lovclady; G. J. Steck,
Ledbottcr; and 11. G. Niblo of Bound
Bock.
A. M. Keilar ottered the following pre-
amble and resolution which was referred
to committee on good of the Association :
Whereas, Wo believe the people all
over tho state are ready for a big revival;
and it can be truly said, "the fields are
white unto tho harvest, but tbe laborers
are lew." and that this revival can only be
Btartcd by a wUe and well laid plan of
lecturing, and that the lecture system can
only be inaugurated and maintained by
the judicious outlay of money; therefore
be it
Resolved, That tbe Texas Co-Operative
Association do appropriate and Bet apart
the sum ol two thousand dollars to be
used for a general lecture fund for tbe
good of the Association, and that the pres.
ldent of the T. C. A., the chairman of the
executive committee of the State Grange,
and Worthy Master of S. G. bo a com-
mittee of three to employ lecturers and con.
trol the work. A. M. Kicu.au,
Tbe following resolution was referred to
the committee on good of tbe Association :
Resolved, That we set aside hereafter
annually out of the profits of tbe T. C. A.,
£5000 for a building fund, and that this
amount be invested to draw interest until
it be resolved to build.
The following was adopted :
Whereas, Having heard with pride that
the Texas Press Association is discussing
the possibility of establishing a Co-opera-
tive printing and publishing house on tbe
Rochdale plan.
Resolved, That we congratulate tbe
Texas Press as having struck the key-note
to success, and that we Indorse witb pleas-
ure tbis movement In bebalf of tbis great
educational system, and otter to the Texas
Press our hearty congratulations.
Tho following resolution was adopted :
Whereas, In tbe beginning of this great
work of co-operation among the farmers of
Texas under the direction of tbe Grange,
the fee for procuring a charter lor a local
association was $5, later on was raised to
$25, and still turtber on to larger sums,
from time to time, until it was entirely re.
■tricted; and
Whereas, We have prayed and pleaded
for the re-enactment of a law granting us
the commercial protection, which was
only partial at applied to the latmat of
farmers in this work, but unlimited as re-
ferring to oil other interests; and
Whereas, It makes the exception of
commercial interests from the fact that
there is little need of such support' In the
competitive business, and a necessity for
it amoug co-operators; and,
Whereas, This law is detrimental to
the interests ol farmers, and intended to
impede thoir progress In the work defined;
therefore belt
Resolved, That the attention of the
farmers and othors concerned therein,
la asked and that they consider fully
the damage of the present law
to their interest in the field, to the happi-
ness affected at the fireside, and ask them
to make it a part ot their business to meet
the issue in the coming political canvass
and secure by proper methods representa-
tives in favor of removing this restriction
upon the progress of agriculture.
John B. Long.
The following was adopted :
Resolved, That the board of directors
be directed to invest $300 contingent fund
in the stock of the Texas State Grange
Fair immigration and Manufacturing As-
sociation.
Resolved, That this is in the interest ot
tbe Association, inasmuch as the Fair is
but laying the foundation lor the estab-
lishing of a co-operative business at Mc-
Gregor. J. B. Long.
The committee on good of the Associa-
tion submitted the following report, which
was adopted:
First, we find In tho address of the pres.
dent a reference to procuring the support
ot agenta ol local co-operative associations
who aro not now giving the T. C A. their
support. The clroumstances surrounding
some ol these agents are such that they
feel supported in their action of parchases
from other sources than our own, from the
fact that although they get their goods
from the T. C. A. at the same figuro, tbe
rate of railroad freight is against them, and
but for this rate of freight they could
reach the Texas Co-operative Association.
On this point your committee recom-
mend that the agent of tho T. C. A. be
granted authority to allow them such u
rate of. discount on amount of purchases as
will tend to satisfy this demand and main-
tain their nupport and equalize the differ-
ence.
In reference to the recommendations re-
lating to appropriations and lecturers, wo
recommend that the Texas Co-operative
Association set apart and appropriate the
sum of three thosand dollars to be ueed in
procuring trade and increasing interest in
the Texas Co-operative Association; that
J. S. Rogers, Agt., A. J. Rose and J. W.
Wattman, compose a committee who shall
employ men or adopt measures to present
the interest of said Association.
Regarding the suggestion of tho presi-
dent and tho resolution of Bro. 11. G. Niblo,
referring to the necessity of building a
house In which to do business, and setting
apart u fund for that purpose, wo recom-
mend tiiat no specific action bo takon at
this meeting.
In regard to tbe resolution introduced by
Pleasant Grove co-operative Association,
that we heartily endorse the sontiments
therein expressed, but find that we are
often forced to do things that are
not altogether agreeable to us:
and are compelled to do the best we can
with a view to serving the best interest of
the T. C. A., and the order at large. Wo
find that the purchasing agent is kept In
the north for only such time as is abso-
lutely necessary; also that the T. C. A. has
not now, nor has it for sometime, had any
drummer or solicitor in the field.
The election of officers was as follows :
R. IC. Steele, president; A. J. Rose, sec-
retary; J. W. Wattman, treasurer. Audit-
ing committee, G. B. Lundy, 11. G. Niblo;
J. S. ilogers, general manager.
