The Philadelphis Press says that very
brief acquaintance with affairs will enable
the Democratic papers TO at once give In
formation to their readers and point To
their new cry after the following fashion ::
The public credit was never higher-The
Republican party must go.
No national debt was ever paid of faster
The Republican party must go.
The currency of the nation was never In
sounder shape-The Republican party must
go.
Manufactures have never before been

A Republican House In the last two years
reduced the burden Of Federal taxation four

spring of 1881.
The plaintiffs story condensed: In the
spring of 1881 the defendants came into
plaintiffs store and purchased some super
phosphate, he Gone OF the firm OF Mason
Bros } supposiug they intended to pay for
1t when they sold their corn In the fall.
He let them have what they wanted and
charged it to them. Masons' books were
produced In court and the charges made at
the time were found to be against the defend
ants, and no mention made OF the Winslow
Packing Company, as would have been the
case had Mason understood he was to look
to that firm for his pay. Benjsmin Tucker,
agent for the Winslow Packing Company
in Norway. testified that no agreement was
ever made between him as agent for that
Company and Mason Bros. to the effect
that Mason Bros. should let any one have
superphosphate and look to the Winslow
Company for pay. Mason Bros. admit
they made an unsuccessful effort TO get the
amount due them from the defendants, of
the Winslow Packing Company, because
they knew that Company were owing the
defendants, but do not consider they for
feited their claims against the defendants
by so doing.
The defendants side: It was at that
time the usual custom for the Corn Pack
ing Companies to furnish the farmers with
seed corn and superphosphate, taking pay
for the same when settling up for the corn
the next fall. The defendants went TO the
agent of the winslow Company for their
spring supplies. He let them have seed
corn, hut told them he was all out of super
phosphate, but that he should have some
more In a few days, and if they did not
want to wait they conld get some OF the
Mason Bros. The defendants understood
by this that Mason Bros. would let them
have superphosphate on the same condi-
tons as the agent, and accordingly got
some and went home. When they brought
in their corn, in the fall, due-bills were
given them, payable at future date, but
before that time came the Winslow Pack
ing Company failed, and Mason Bros.
were now trying To collect 1t of them.
AMER a protracted heariag, no evidence
being brought forward of any written con-
tract, or even verbal agreement that the
winslow Packing Company were to pay
for the superphosphate, while no one de-
MED that the same was sold and delivered
to defendants, Justice Edwards gave judg.
ment in favor of the plaintiff
Moral: Don't take things at hearsay.
but .ind out about 1t, and where money is
at stake always make written contract.
aud II shall come to pass that you will
have no trouble, and the lawyers will have
