". r. MEAD:
Dear Sir-Certain parties are industri
ously circulating the story that the Nc
Cormick business has not been a success
in this district for the season of 1875. For
the benefit of those gentlemen, will you
allow me space to state the facts so that
they may hereafter do the same. My sale
account sent to G.. Ii. & L. ;. Mccormick
included the notes and cash for Five Hun
dred and Sixty -Four Mrchines since which
time a considerable number Of machines
sent cut on trial have been settled for. To
further satisfy any doubling Thomas,
will refer to G.. II. & L. J. Mccormick or
chcerfully show my sale book with names
of purchasers and p. 0. The fact is that
the counties of Howard, Mitchell and
Worth in Iowa. Freedom, Mower, Fill
more and Houston in Mimi, in the aggre
gate bought more Mccormick machines
in 1875 than they have ever done any year
previous, for the truth OF this statement |
will also refer any doubter to c. II. s. l.
J. Mccormick. This statement may BE
Of but little interest to the majority poo
pie and under ordinary circumstances
would be of little consequence to me. The
people of Cresco however will readily I'm
derstand my motive in making it.
Respectfully,
NJ. T. GRATTAN.

THE OLD n. II. BONDS.

1t is a we'll known that early IN her
.career-cvcn before she became a State,
Minnesota, by vote Of the people be-
came obligated for the payment Of n loan
Of $4,000, 600 in aid of railroad construc-
ton. That loan has never been paid
neither principal n"r interest, and the
State has long been considered in default,
and By many, to have rtrudia,cd .:ie
claim altogether, by ncglecting to pro
vide for its payment. We suppose that
very corrupt means was employed to Sc
cure the vote whereby the people CON
scented to the issue Of these Bonds. We
are Of the impression that the measure
was not so fully canvasscd nor so thor
ough!y understood as to enable the people
70 vote upon it with full knowledge Of
all the obligations which its adoption
would entail We have little doubt tina,
the whole scheme Oh the par: Of the man
ayers was tainted with fraud, and that the
people were deceived and thereby induced;
70 4" what they would not have done had
thy been more iully informed as to the
probable consequences Of their acts. II
the 'r.rsaction had not extended beyond
the igiral parties it would not be di(i.
cii, tn determine the equities existing be
Sween the them, but the interests If Other
and innocent parties became involved
raising a new question entirely. 1t IS
concad.d by nearly all that the state new
AZ received any adequate consideration
for The bonds, but il mus; be conceded
on the other hand that very many o.
them were Purchased in good faith for
fair price under the impression that they
were desirable Investments. The purchase
Of the bonds was induced by the action
whereby the people Of tie State coascn
led to their issue In other words pur.
ckhsers took Them because ,hcy believed
then, 70 be genuine ard valuable as STATE
Bonds usually are. Now, shall the per
sons who paid their money for The bonds
s. our suggestion and for our accommo-
da'ion. (,he proceeds were TO be expended
il constructing our roads) lose the prnc!.
pie which they invested and the interest
upon the same, because the state has not
realized what she expected oat of her
action in the premises? Manif*stly not
There are two classes Of persons holding
bonds. One class is composed Of those
who sought them az an investment, and
who took them at very nearly their par
value. The other took them with Il full
knowledge of all the circumstances, and
at very small cost to themselves. Be.
tween these two classes the State may
properly make dis elimination. Inno-
cent holders should he paid in full, willie
all others should be made to compromise
upon all equitable basis.
VIC consider that the state sustains an
obligation TO her bond holders Which she
cannot honestly ignore, but al the same
time we regard it as incumbent upon her
too that she defend her own interests
against the claims of all who can be
shown to haye participated in the cri 81
nal fraud or 10 have had knowledge Of it.
