Sound Common Sense.

The following article from the
Lowell, Mich, Journal, is so full OF
good sound sense that we take great
pleasure in commencing it to the
careful consideration of each of our
readers, and especially to the politi-
clans of Shiawassee county,:
eve are neither two.termer nor a
three-termer, nor any other termer.
We believe in conducting the affairs
OF state and country on good, sound
business principles. We believe in
retiring man from office at the close
of his first term if he isn't a good
officer. We don't believe in giving
him a second term simply as an zen
dorsement," for we don't believe in
endorsing poor official record. We
don't believe in retiring good officer
at the close of his second term if we
have good reasons to believe that he
is just the man for the place and can
discharge the duties of his office bet
ter than any other man that may
have been, or may be, named for that
office. We believe little reflection
on the part of the "two term"
shouters will bring them to their
senses and to the same position we
hold on this question"

A Field Day for The
Buckeye ''Experi-
rnent, "
Grand Victory Over the Nc
COrmick, Deering and
Champion.
MIDDLEBURY, July %, 1872.

MIDDLEBURY, July %, 1872.
There was another field trial of sell
binders on the farm of George H.
Warren, of Middlebury, near Ovid.
There was present on the field, four
machines; Buckeye, Deering, Nc
Cormick and Champion, and as this
was fair field and no favors, the
Buckeye naturally came out ahead.
The Buckeye did not decide to enter
until the night before, but although
last on the ground, was there to stay.
The machines at first went into fine
standing grain, and there the Cham
pion went TO grass on account of
draft. The others did fair work, but
missed some bundles and did not
bind tight, and also choked, while the
Buckeye drawn by two horses walked
around the field and never missed
bundle, and bound very tight.
The machines were then taken in
to a field. some portions of which
were badly down. Each machine
was to cut up one side and back, this
opening up swath and pitching up
the grain they ran over. Here the
Mccormick got distanced. They
with only five foot cut, all the rest
were six foot cuts, being nearly half
an hour going up one side and back.
The race then was singled down to
the Buckeye and Deering, and many
severe tests were made. The Deer
ing had been run from Ovid over the
roads and put into one field of wheat
to get 'limbered up" and adjusted.
But, nevertheless, to experienced
judges it drew fully as hard as the
Buckeye. Then close observers
noticed that the weight on the horses
necks was extreme, and that even in
the finest standing grain they devel-
oped terrible side draft, while the
Buckeye ran as straight as bee line,
and the tongue played up and down
in the neckyoke with scarcely enough
weight to hold it down. 1t was
noticed with the Deering that in the
tangled grain it kept man busy to
keep the grain of the outside binder

ing the team almost on a trot through
the bad grain. But the Buckeye went
around while the grain was dry, with
out choking, and with no help from
the Experts. Mr.. Warren and his
two sons were to be the judges, and
after half moments talk said that the
Buckeye Company always had built
durable, frst-class machine which
would work under any and all cir
cumstaeces, and in his opinion it was
the most durable machine in the field,
that it had done the best work, cut
cleaner, and drew as light as any
other, and consequently he would

The McCormick's Triumphant
Victory in this territory speaks vol
umes in its praises, coming into the
field late, and with a new agent, but
good one. Under the circumstances
it did, having to battle against the
shrewd and cunning, and in the face
of all this has come right along to
the front.
The harvest Of 81 will close with
the records showing the Mccormick
superior to everything. And now we
are on a sound basis "founded up
on the Rock" as it were. Again
farmers of Shiawassee county accept
our thanks. Next year when you
buy a Mccormick you will get it.

A more succinct statement of Just
what the financial platform of the
Greenback party is than the following
from the Saginaw Herald, we do not
recollect to have seen:
"The chronic blindness in the mind
of the Greenbacker is that he cannot
comprehend that national currency
note is a debt. The greenbacks are
''promise to pay" and thus become
an obligation. A bond is nothing
more, and while they rave against
Bonds and in favor OF greenbacks,
they simply advocate paying our debt
by issuing evidences of another"
