Made at Copake Iron Works, New York.
They are made entirely of the best
quality selected Charcoal Iron, from new
patterns, giving the necessary strength
with least weight of material, making
them the highest and strongest iron beam
Pillow in the market No scrap or cheap
iron of any description is used in any
part of these Flows, and our castings
will prove by their superior wearing
qualities and endurance that the best is
the cheapest.
They will clean better than any steel
plows, wear longer, and cost much less
for repairs.
For light draught our Flows cannot
be excelled by any and oqualled by few.
We recommend the use of the Jointer
instead of Coulter. The Jointer will
do the work much more effectually, and
keep in better repair.
Prices are the lowest at which that
high standard of excellence in material

C0RNERING THE FO0D SUPPLY

tOhNEHINf THE RON SUPPLI.
During the past four or five months the
grain trade OF the United States has been
kept in constant turmoil and confusion by a
number OF spectators who have their head
quarters at the central point of shipment,
namely, Chicago. The elevators have been
full of cereals of all kinds, and not COM

that city has escaped corner. Three or
four weeks ago one of these corners, which
had been manipulated by knot-gang
would be the most appropriate term TO apply
TO them-of Cincinnati spectators, reached
climax. They had forced up the price of
wheat TO an unprecedented figure and had
succeeded so well as to clear between two
and three millions of dollars by the DEAL
II mattered but little that the poor were in
jured, that the price of bread to every human
being dependent on the American market
suffered, these pirates made it scarce, gam
bled and won. Every dollar they made
came out Of the pockets OF the people. The
minor gamblers, who were betting against
the gang, were losers, and some of them
were unable to meet their obligations.
AT the present the corner in corn is reach
ing a climax. One benevolent person named
Lyon, who some seven or eight years ago
manipulated corner and was very badly
squeezed, has, according to a grateful friend,
been "praying for short crop for five years"
This year his prayer has been answered and
Mr. Lyon has attempted another corner

sidered equivalent TO a withdrawal from

fifth of that amount IL is believed, there
fore, that his suspension is merely rnse for
making another attack upon the resources
of the opposition-a trick to break the mar.
ket. In order to meet the present conditions
more than 100000 bushels of corn have
found their way into Chicago. Cars, canal
boats and elevators are all full
II matters nothing TO these people that
corn is staple article Of food, and repre-
sents so much pork, lard and other edibles
for which there is a demand; it is nothing
to them that the price OF wheat, OF beef and
milk, and nearly everything else has for va.
rious reasons advanced. So long as their
profits are received they care nothing for the
fact that thousands who were on the brink
of starvation must topple over into the
abyss, while thousands more who were starry
ing are still further reduced. They care as
little, apparently, for fair fame as for their
fellow-crcaturc and resort TO devices which
are abhorrunt 10 the honest merchant There
will come time yet when gambling with
the food supply will be made in law what il
is in fact--a crime.

odd Hickory" Wagons.

VIu AAChUIy wagons.
The "0ld Hickory" is manufactured at
Louisville, kentucky, by the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company.
The quality OF the ''Old Hickory" is main
tanned atany cost.
The '0ld Hickory is built for strength,
durability, lghtness, and is of graceful APP
pearance.
The "0ld Hickory is as perfect as it is
possible for wagon to be built.
The superiority of the "0ld Hickory over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption of that form or mod
el that comprises the largest amount of strength
with the least supernuous weight
Second-To the adoption OF that shape,
size, and adjustment OF skeins, wheels and
gear, and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singletrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft.
Third-To the great advantages the manu-
facturers of the sold Hickory" have over
other wagon makers in location, situated as
they are in the centre of the finest timber re-
gion in the world. The company makes Sc
lecliSns from the white oak and black hickory
OF Kentucky, which are justly celebrated.
Fourth-To the great advantage of having
plenty Of the best timber TO work on, only

If all that is alleged against Stanley
Mathews, by the very best papers, and
men, of his ora party. be true, the
Democratic Senators have placed them
selves in a bad light. They knew how
corrupt our National Supreme Court
became under Grants manipulation,
they knew hat hundreds Of innocent
,Southerners were chained down ia hell
ish dungeons for years because that Su
preme Court cOrruptly withheld for five
years its own decision tone it dare not
dodge prOnounclng certain acts of
Congress unconstitutional, null and
void and worse still, the Democratic
Senators knew that Mathews is believed
to be a mere hireling tool of the great
Railroad m~onopolies OF Iankeedom. Ii
is said that all the Railroad Rings
'lobbyed' for his confirmation. The
n. Y. Sun says the notorious briber,
Jay Gould, sent kilograms directly to
various senators asking them to vote
for Mathews. We dislike to impute
improper motives to leading Democratic
Statesmen, like Messrs. Pendleton.
Beck, Voorhees,, Mcdonald, ct a.; but
ever 'persoual friendship is an i'm
proper motive" when it leads a Nation
al Representative to saddle upon the
Nation, for his lifetime, a corrupt. or
weak, or prejudiced National Judge
Here is a despatch in reference to the
matter
Extraordinary influences have been
exerted for Matthews under Hayes and
under Garfield. Ex-senator Mcdonald
made it his regular business for months
to canvass the Democratic side of the
Senate, before the 18th Of March, while
he was a member of the Judiciary Com
mlttee. and he openly boosted of having
secured twenty votes for him.
Mr.. Pendleton, Mr.. Beck. and Mr..
Voorhees, have been the active advoca-
Gates ot this bad nomination since Mr.
Mcdonald went into permanent exile.
Their singular zeal has provoked much
comment, and Will be apt to excite still
stronger criticism when its motive and
Its inspiration are made clear to the
public.
Matthews was confirmed by the aid of
Democratic votes. Senators who de-
nounced the Great Fraud with yebe
meme were the champions Of the very
man who was the agent of its consumma
ton through the Wormley conference
held IN his room. His correspondence
with Anderson proves him to be corrupt
and unworthy Of confidence.

corporation against the Thurman act,
