Summary
DescriptionGift for the grangers ppmsca02956u.jpg
"Gift for the Grangers", 1873 print promoting U.S. farmers' organization. The upper left inset shows "Farmer's fireside" (scene of a farming family leading a rather middle-class lifestyle), upper right inset shows "Grange in session", Lower left inset shows "Harvest dance", lower center inset shows signposts of "Ignorance" and "Sloth" pointing towards broken-down cabin, and lower right inset shows Biblical scene of "Ruth and Boaz" (gleaners in the fields). The central scene shows a farmer with one foot on his shovel above the quote "I Pay for All." This last is taken from the old British inn-sign of the "Five Alls" or "Four Alls", which occurred in a number of variations, but usually included a monarch saying "I rule (for) all" or "I govern all", a bishop or minister saying "I pray for all", a soldier saying "I fight for all", and a farmer saying "I pay for all". (Modern versions often show John Bull as the one who pays for all, as in

File:March of Roguery CGrant 1830 caricature Five Alls.jpg for a nineteenth-century version with a farmer in lowest position.)
