THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED Steel PLOW

Itsweight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
. first-class Steel Plow, made in the Or
dinary way, full rugged, retails for twenty-five
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen TO nineteen dollars.
The price OF our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and it will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board Will outwear three OF the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
1t will scour in soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved q
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced a CORFU
gated PlOw Point and Jolnter Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which is
also great Improvement both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of it as desired, and always kept in line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fail
Flowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Plow.
1t is perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out OF use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity of the day. 1t
isthree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When zee say Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know it is so.
Nra do oRfo
of various metals and call it chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this State.
We can give but very small discount 70
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow in the hands
of Farmers as near the cost OF manufacture
as possible.
1t will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
1t shall also be the cheapest
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling" need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
FF- This is the only Steel Chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rugged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made
1t is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and half.
Where there are no agents we win, on re-
ceiptof Seventeen Dollars send Plow TO any
Railroad station in the State and pay the
freight. Address,

THE PAST,

The Journal of last week denies our
allegations of the week before and
"hurls them back upon the alligator,"
that is some of them. Bro. Ogle denies
that lie was ever consulted about the
propriety of mobbing the ADVANCE
Office, and says he does not know of any
one "who expressed Il desire to throw
our type into the street for investiga-
ting Spiritualism. Well, it may be
that Spiritualism WAS only the OCCASION
and that politics: personal spite and
general villainy were the cause OF the
proposed onslaught upon the AD-
VANCE. We know that Ogle's Assist
ant Sunday School Superintendent
bcasted that if he had just said the
word, the ADVANCE would have been
riddled. The fact is, Bro. Ogle has
been keeping some Internally bad COM
pany and the wonder is that they did
not get him into some scrape before
tins.
But Bro. Ogle admits that he did
hear it said that if we would "pursue
the same policy OF personal abuse in
any other place than Worthington
your type would have been thrown ill.,
to the street and yourself ducked in the
lake" Strange that lie should have
heard this. We did not hear it above
three or four times day during the
first two years of the Journals exist
ence. It came from Bell, Gruelle, Rob-
rer, Barber and Il few others who ever
lastingly 'went for us'' OH all occasions,
not only in politics, but III church, Sab
bath School, public meetings, business,
private and social life and everything
else. And we only came out and told
on them. That was all we did, and they
| got mad about it. like lot OF little
boys, and called it ''tirade OF abuse''
and intimated that nobody, no nobody
at all. except such harmless and inno-
cent members of the church, would
stand it. Oh no. Anybody but a
meek and lovly follower" etc, would
have retaliated by mob, although the
''meek and lowly followers" were using
every means. fair and foul, Christian
and unclristian, to destroy the dread.

post and told the public what the "meek
and lowly'' were doing.
But Bro. Ogle is right III saying that
we might have reviewed his article with.
out referring to the past. We might have
done so, but it fit i'll 50 APPLY that it
sort OF did itself. The past is past, we
admit, but its wrongs are. not all right.

with Ogle. lie was, as he Says, a look.
er on, but he was a good deal such a
locker on as Paul who held the clothes
of the other fellows while they ''sailed
in" and smashed Stephens head with
stones. And if Bro. Ogle expects to
take up the cudgel and slash about in
a general and promiscuous defence ev.
cry time we allude to the past or hit Il
ringster with our shillalal', he will he
kept pretty busy. 1.-The quarrels of the
past were not our own," he says. We
take him at his word and ask him not
to make them his own noeO by assum-
ing that he must defend everybody and
everything the ADVANCE attacks.
