desired for any explanation or statement
that it might wish to make. 1t was so ex-
cited over the publication Of the Spanish
advertisement that it lost its head and It's
manners, replying neither TO that cour-
teous letter nor to two letters on matters
of business written after.
1t had been caught red handed, IN ths
very act of robbing the American farm
ers, and it had nothing to say. There
was nothing it could say.
ONE IS AS GOOD AS A HUNDRED.
There are in this Spanish supplement
advertisements representing the manu-
factured products Of 166 protected firms
and the same number of different pro-
tected industries. Practically, an adver-
tisement of one protected firm is an ad-
vertisement of all firms engaged in the
same trade and competing one with an
other, for no one firm will refuse to give
as good discounts as another and these
advertisements represent several thou
sand protected manufacturers.
Space will not permit newspaper to
print at one time all or even large por-
tion of these advertisements. As they are
all alike, differing only as one star differs
from another star or ono pea from another
pea, with the presentation of the follow
ing delicious advertisement on page the

finished,

It win pay every American farmer to
study this advertisement intended for
circulation in Spanish America only.
Here are no questions of discounts and
no opportunity to bubble, as Allen & Co.
tried to. The plough, the mower, the feed
cutter are each sold at net price, free ON
board ship at New York. There is not a
farmer in the United States who does not
know what he has to pay for the same
Implements There is not farmer who
does not know that he cannot purchase at
the prices at which they are here offered
TO the Spaniard. II any farmer believes
that he can buy them at these Spanish
prices let him send to Ann Arbor and see
If his order will be filed. He may and
probably will get some small discount
from the list price advertised. to make
him feel good, but he will not get the 80
per cent, discount given the Spaninrd.

institution would be of great
value but it would be very I'M
wise to establish it while there
is a possibility Of Mr.. Robert p.

head of it. He knows about us
much IN regard to the taking Of
the Census as General Francis
Walker did and General Francis
Walker knew as much about
that business as a hog does
about holidays. It would be
well to defer the passage Of any
such law until some one has the
appointing power who would
pass by such men as Robert 2,

TAXES A NoN-sUIT.
The Judgment Rendered. IN the Case
at oxford Yesterday.

The Judgment Rendered IN the Case
ut oxford Yesterday.
The adjourned case of the Board Of
Agriculture VS.. the Durham Fertilizer
Co, and s. w. Parker came up in
Granville Superior court yesterday,
When the case was called counse, foi
theplaintiff, the Board Of Agriculture,
announced that they would submit
to non-suit.
Counsel for the defendants asked
that the plaintiff be taxed with the
cost. Here ensued discussion on the
question Of cost. The Board Of Agri.
culture contendsd that it was not q
corporation and therefore could NOT
be sued. Counsel for the defendants
wanted to know if the Board did not
pay, who was to pay the cost II
was argued then that the Board Of
Agriculture being part Of the State
government, the State would have il
to pay, and the Board put it off on
the State. AZ.
Judge Winston then caused the
following judgment to be entered
against the Board Of Agriculture:
In this action, plaintiff announces
to the court it submits to Judgment
Of non suit, it is, therefore, upon mo-
ton of defendants counsel, ordered
and adjudged, that plaintiff take
netting by this suit and that defen-
dant s. w. Parker recover the bags
Of fertilizer seized in this action by
the sheriff of said county, and that
said sheriff deliver said bags Of ferti
lizer TO s. w. Parker, for J. +. Cole
the owner thereof; and that the de-
PENDANTS recover Of plaintiff the cost
Of this action to DO taxed by clerk Of
this court, and that defendants go
without day.
S. w. Parker, tho defendant, con-
sents hereto.
RoBT w. WINSTON, Judge.
The plaintiff then gave notice Of
an appeal to the Supreme court. The
Judge made the bond $50 and asked
the plaintiff if they were ready to
give it at that time. Tho reply was
that it would be given in next ten
days.
For the present this ends the judi
cial farce enacted by Commissioner
Robinson, urged on by some Of the
members Of his Agricultural Board.
who recently used so much white
wash on him and his Department at
the Morehead meeting Of Alliance
men.
Their prosecution fell through on
the very first issue, and after trying
to amend their complaint as many
as three times, they lodged about on
the payment Of the cost, and threw
it on the State.
This is nice come off for the great

and Opera House ten cent Show

using their own goods, and when

or not they receive pay for their ser
