THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED Steel PLOW

Itsweight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A frst-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 1t 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.
II VIII scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced q CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer 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 q 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 Fall
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,
Steel beam is the necessity of the day. 1t
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When rce say Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know it is So
We do not palm off on them a composition
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 20
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 ga nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling" need not
apply for an agency.
NO Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
s1- 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 a half
Where there are no agents we will, on re-
ceiptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station in the State and pay the

On Horseback.

The very thing they fought so long
and so bitterly they have at last en-
braced. Column after column have
the Democratic newspapers spewed
out concerning the imam on horse
back. ."Of course the career of the great
party of "Tilden and Reform"is well
known to the people of the United
States of America. Anything to win
has been their motto. They ran
Greeley and were defeated. And
Greeley was the man of all men they
most hated. The Democratic party
can be depended on for one thing and
chat is uncertainty. Ever watchful
they attempt to reach power by any
means that is within reach. They
would even have nominated Gen eral
Grant had they believed his election
would have followed as the result
Hope deferred has made the heart of
the great party sick, and now they
look and look expecting that tickle
Fate will turn in their favor. Now
have they turned to soldier to carry
them through, after having contin-
ually fought against soldier candi-
dates. A loyal soldier is commissioned
TO lead to victory the forlorn hope of
Solid South, "Rebel Brigadies, :"
"Ku Klux," "Shotgun Policy" and
all the crimes thrown in withwhich the
Democratic party isjustly charged How
could these rebels and rebel sympathiz-
ers be in company with man who
was loyal to the core, and at the very
time these men were fighting against
the flag or aiding those who did, the
candidate they have chosen was lead.
ing to victory the splendid armies of
the North, and winning imperishable
renown on many hard fought field.
His military honors have received
tarnish through the nomination of
the great anti-war and anti-loyal
party. The "Superb Soldier" is in
mighty poor company to say the least.
How like the ghost of "man on
horseback will the substance of a
brave leader of brave men be to the
i.sSolid South" fire eaters and the
: "Solid North" sympathizers. The
first flush of Hancock's nomination
seemed to be acceptable to the Democ-
racy, but when they remember how
frightened they used to be at the ap-
paration of the "man on horseback
the pain that will rankle in their side
will take much of the first sweetness
away, and leave them disconsolate
and forlorn. They have the audacity
to claim Pennsylvania for the SOL
dier candidate of their creating. But
the winds of November will shiver
that delusion by a majority of 10000
In the old Keystone State for Garfield,
the brave soldier and tried statesman.
The work of the Democratic party
will damn them, beyond all recovery
by ''soldier candidate" Men who
would like to vote for" Hancock the Su-
perb Soldier" will hesitate long before
they vote for" Hancock thesolid Demo-
crat." The imam on horseback" has
been an eye sore to them many times
before, and the subterfuge of their
imam on horseback" shall not win
them trick. Friends and fellow
citizens we all know the old Demo-
cratic party, and we also know that
it is now the same old fox with new
hide. Punch hole in the hide and
you will find an old Democrat. Put
no dependence in their fair promises
or their fair candidates. Remember
that Democracy never changes, unless
for the worse.

The Battle Lines Drawn.
Philadelphia Press.

lfnlladelphla Press.
The lines of the great national bat
tleare now drawn. Both parties have
raised their standards and presented
their tickets. The leaders are chosen
their significance is known; the prin-
cip!es are defined; the canvass is
| shaped, and it remains simply to
| fight out the contest. With the men
and the issues made up, it is left for
the American people to pass deliberate
judgment.
Even dwarfing the struggle to the
mere question of men, there is wide
difference. The Republican nomina-
ton means experience, ,statesmanship,
culture, ripe public knowledge, dis
tinct and known opinions, elevated
aims and natural leadership in civil
affairs. The Democratic nomination,
however uneXceptionable in per-
sonal point of view, means inexperi-
ence, rawness in public life, lack of
statemanship, underlined and un-
known opinions and necessary subor-
dination to controlling party infuen-
ces. General Garfield is trained
master of public affairs, an original
thinker, creative force and a man of
pronounced and declared views upon
every question OF public interest.
The people are not compelled to take
him on trust. They know what he
thinks and how he acts. General
Hancock, on the other hand, is un-
tried in civil life and unknown in all
relations to public questions.
But it is far more than a question of
men; it is grand trial of parties.
The leaders cannot be separated from
their supporters. Least of all can an
inexperienced and unframed candi
date be treated independently of the
political influences behind him. His
very lack of knowledge and qualfi-
cation will compel him to rely upon
those who have made him the figure
head of their fight. The personality
of General Hancock is the smallest
element of the canvass; the command
ing question for the country is whether
it is prepared to accept the evils of
Democratic success. Is it ready to
hand the Government over to the
party which tramples on equal rights,
STILES free speech and free ballots in a
large section of the land, organizes
uSurnntiOn and rayrlutiop in Nfo;na
attempts to nullify the laws. strikes
at all the safeguards of an honest bal
lot-boX, deranges the industries of the
country, threatens financial distur-
bance and eXalts State sovereignty
over National supremacy? The man,
chosen without references to any prin-
ciples, is nothing; the party spirit
dominant and interchangeable, is every
thing.
The battle comes then between pat
riotic and progressive Repubicanism
and reactionary and destructive Dem
ocracy. In such a contest no Repub-
lican can falter and the country can
not hesitate. If men could obliterate
all the memories of earlier recreancy,
the Democratic demonstrations of the
past two years would warn them
against advancing that party to power.
If it comes now under more speci-
Gus disguise it is the more dangerous,
and the Nation will be reused to the
high demands of the struggle.

New York Times: "The situation
in all important respects may be re-
garded as simply this: The two par
ties go before the country on what
they have done or failed to do, with
the assurance on the part of the Re
publicans that all the best tendencies
of the party will be promoted by the
election of its candidate, and with the
probability on the Democratic side
that the tendencies of that party to-

will find no restraint from its candi-

Lincoln, General Hartranft was a sub.

English, the tail of the Demo
cratic ticket, was so strongly pro-sla-
very that he has been on the retired
list every since the war. Before that
he was a Northern man with Southern
principles. We can therefore tell where
he stands to-day when the "solid
South takes him to redeem their
"lost cause" But who can tell what
Hancock believes? He has neither
spoken or written concerning his be-
lief.

The Harrisburg Patriot publishes
series of resolutions adopted by a
meeting of boilers in General Gar
fields congressional district, in 1876
The resolutions generally were attacks
upon his character, but one tells how
wickedly he acted in voting for the
coinage bill of 1873, by which, as the
silver men declare, the coins of that
metal were "demonetized. This
cause for denunciation will not count
for much, in these days, when people
have come to an understanding of the
silver question, but as to the others it
is to be noticed that the people of the
XIXth district of Ohio did not regard
them, for General Garfield's majority,
which was 6,346 in 1874, increased, in
1876, after the issuance of this list of
resolutions, to 1888, an addition of
more than two thousand, and again in
1873, it rose to 1913. The Patriot
might mention these facts to its Demo-
cratic readers, and they can Judge for
themselves of how much consequence
the bolter's proceedings were, and how
much weight they had among the
people who know General Garfield
best.

Steady the Old Guard.

The most remarkable feature of the
Chicago Convention, and one which is
without parallel in the records of
political conventions, was the un-
swerving fidelity to their principles
and their man shown by the delegates
who sought to secure the nomination
of General Grant. On the thirty fifth
ballot a panic struck the anti. Grant
men and they sought to out strip each
other in abandoning their own candi-
dates and combining to beat "the sill
ent man." At such moment it was
not unnatural to expect that even the
faithful ranks OF the Grant men might
waver and break in the contagion of
excitement. But just as the roll call
of the last ballot was given-the State
of Alabama being called-a voice was
heard, clear and resonant above all the
din of the Convention, STEADY THE
OLD GUARD, - ALL ALONG THE
LINE?'-and not a man failed to re-
cognize the watchword or hesitated to
respond to the call. On the last ballot
Grant had two votes more than he
had on the first. The man who so
well and opportunely gave expression
to the thought which animated the
faithful three hundred" was General
Thomas l.. Kane, delegate from this
district, and as that fact has not before
been publicly mentioned, we take
pleasure in recording it. 1t was one
of the most significant incidents of
the Convention and eminently charac-
teristic of the brave and loyal soldier
who figured in it.-Bradford Star.
