mas been started, ana gained noiO upon the
minds Of some farmers, that Mccormick s.
Bro will not sell to Farmers Oranges, VII
publish their own words as written by them
March LIST, 1878. Much has been said to the
injury of Mccormick & Bro. by opposition
agents much has been published coming
from them which they never wrote, as proof
thereof please read the following:
PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY,
Which, we believe, are secret orders Of Far
mers organized for mutual benefit and pro-
lection, are multiplying at rapid rate over
the land, and we are in daily receipt of let
tiers from agents and others seeking advice
about them.
We are satisfied that these Farmers Clubs
will be productive of much good, and where
ever monopoly or extortion exists we hope
they will strike hard blows.
We are willing to aid these cooperative as
sociatons all consistently, with due
regard TO orr ow interests.
We, therefore, give the following order, that
where an agent can sell five or more Machines
to Farmers Oranges, for cash down, making
one transaction of the sale, an abatement of
$500 on each machine be made from the reg
lar cash price. OF course, any one can see
that the note Of q farmer who is a Patron of
Husban6fry is DO more valuable to us than
that OF ore who ignores the order.
We must also decline making any abate-
mcnt on airy account whatever, except as
above stated. To be honest we must be uni
form in our prices to all. Most of our agents
sell for us on salary, and their services are as
essential in Snch an extern cd business, as that
of the mechanics who make the machines.
The Reaper trade is open to much com Pc
tilion and is so fiercely contended for by rival
manufacturers that prices are now at bot
tom figures, and the Farmers, therefor, WIFI
find it more profitable to seek for monopoly
and extortion where it really exists.
Agents are requested and invited to cores
pond with us regularly. and any further add
vice required will be freely given besides we
growing crops, prospects for sales, and move
ments OF the opposition Manufacturers and
Agents.
Yours truly,
{. II. MCCORMICK & BRO.
also wish to have it understood that the
CASH PRICES Of our machines have been re-
duced, so that combined Advance, with two
cutter bars, two sets of knives, and two rates
of motion-one for reaping and one for moving
will cost only slS2.50, when bought by a club
of five or more, all at the same time and paid
for in cash. For a single Advance reaper,
self-raker, when bought as above, sl57.50.
For our Prize Mower, when bought as above,
Sl07.5 with actual freights added.
1t may appear to the advantage of all TO
buy of Mccormick & Bro, even the Oranges,
and if there are any Oranges that do not hear
from me they will please address,

THE indianapolis Sentinel last week
pills he'd an in famous SANDER in regard
to the personal conduct of the Pfesident
while on his recent visit to Chicago
Neither the obscurity of that journal
nor the inexperience of its editor shall
be permitted to serve as protection
against whatever Of shame and ignominy
Invariably follow the exposure of series
of elaborate circumstantial falsehoods.
Few will ever read the disgusting details
Of the Sentinets account, rs improbable
as false, charging drunkenness upon the
President while in Chicago, but thous.
ands will read the refutation of the
SANDER which we publish this morning,
constituting no less vindication Of the
character Of the President than an i'm
parchment of the honor and veracity Of
the unfortunate editor of the Sentinel.
1t is quite impossible that the editor of
that Journal should not have been aware
of the falsity of Mis- statements; they
were extremely improbable, and there
fore not to be believed with the support
Of strong evidence. Such evidence could
not have been at hand, because we this
morning refute all the charges by the
testimony of the Hon. Joseph Medill,
Mayor of Chicago, and the letter of Mr.
S NJ. Turner, of the fremont House 1t
will be noted that the statements Of Mr.
Medill and of Mr. Turner, both in time
and circumstance, contradict point blank
every allegation of the Sentinel 1t is
therefore an irresistible conclusion not
| only that the editor Of the Sentinel falls
fled but that he did so deliberately,
knowing that he was giving to tissue
of falsehoods all the currency possible
consistent with the limited circulation
and influence of his paper.
The editor of the Sentinel boasts-to
his shame, be it said, since be has proven
himself so unworthy-the acquaintance
and tuition of the late Horace Greeley
| Whatever faults Mr. Greeley may have
| had cowardice and lying were not among
the number He despised both these
distinguishing attributes Ct despicatle
character, and never failed to brand
them as they deserve, whether exhibited
in friend or foe.
If the editor of the Sentinel had said
in the witness box what he said in the
columns of his journal, so,emnly asscrt>
Ing its truth, lie would have been guilty
of perjury, and have subjected himself
to the penalty of incarceration in the
Penitent;ary of lndiana.-Lnter- Ocean,
