Freeing British Slaves.

The LIST of August, 1884, was the
day on which the slaves of British
colonies were assigned to what was
called an apprenticeship which was to
prepare them for freedom. BY the
terms of the act all slaves became ap-
prentice laborers to their masters in
two classes, one of which would re
ceive its actual freedom in 1888. and
the other in 1910. About 500, 600, 00O
was appropriated to pay the masters
for the loss of services based upon the
market price; 770.2s0 slaves were at
fected by this.

Too great local drying of the air is a
usual fault of electric heating. With

THE REAPER KINGS.
A Theory That Lineoln's Candidacy
Was Due to Their Wars.


Among the different types of
reapers and the numerous variations
of each type the bitterest rivalries
prevailed. There was no pool, no
"gentlemens agreement" no Com
munity of interest" Indeed the
Harvester business was not bust
ness. 1t was riotous game of
farmer, farmer, who gets the farm
err" The excited players cared less
for the profits than for the victo-
ries. AS fast as they made money
they threw it back into the game.
Mechanics became millionaires and
/ millionaires became mechanics. The
whole trade was tense with risk and
rivalry and excitement, as though
it were a search for gold along the
high plateaus Of the Rand And
this in spite of the fact that, with
the exception of Mccormick, Os-
borne and Whiteley, the men VINO
came to be known as reaper kings
were not naturally fighters. No
business men were ever gentler than
Deering, GIessner, Warder, Adri-
ance and Huntley. But the making
| Of reapers was new trade. 1t was
| like vast, unfenced prairie, where
every settler owned as much ground
as he could defend.
Each step ahead meant a strug-
gle for patents. Whoever built a
reaper had to defend himself in the
courts as well as approve himself in
the harvest fields. Cyrus H. McCor-
mick especially, as William Deering
soon learned, welded the bic stick
against every man who dared to
make reapers. He was the grizzled
old veteran Of the trade, and he
gave battle to his competitors as
though they we're a horde of tres
! passers. He was their common enc
my, ana the reaper money that was
squandered on lawsuits brought a
golden era Of prosperity to the law
yers.
Some of these patent wars shook
the country with the crash of hos
tile forces. The tide of battle roll
ed up to the supreme court and even
into the halls of congress. Once in
1855, when Mccormick charged full
tilt upon John H. Nanny, who was
making reapers at Rockford, H., a
three year struggle began that was
the most noted legal duel of the
day.
Mccormick, to make sure of his
victory, went into the fight with a
battery of LAWYERS whom he thought
invincible-William H. Seward, f.
NJ Dickerson and Senator Reverdy
Johnson. Nanny made a giant eff
fort at self defense by hiring Abra-
ham Lincoln, Edwin NJ. Stanton,
Stephen a. Douglas, Peter II. Wat
son, George Harding and Congress
man H. Winter Davis.
From first to last it was a law
! yers' battle. and Mccormick was
finally defeated by Stanton, who
made an unansWorably eloquent
speech. For this speech Stanton re-
ceiycd $4,000, and Lincoln, who
had made no speech at all, was given
| $1,000. Yet in the long run the
man who profted by this lawsuit
was Lincoln, for it was this money
that enabled him to carry on his ia
nous debate with Douglas and thus
made him the inevitable candidate
of the Republican party, - H. n.
