evidence of Christian and be-

a great mind to give his name.

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

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
"gentlemen's agreement" no "com-
munity of interest" Indeed the
Harvester business" was not bust
ness. 1t was a riotous game of
farmer, farmer, who gets the farm
er?" 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 millonaires 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 Whitley, the men who
came to be known as reaper kings
were not naturally fighters No
business men were ever gentler than
Deering, Glessner, Warder, Adri-
ance and Huntley. But the making
of reapers was new trade. It 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 II. McCor-
mick especially, as William Deering
soon learned, welded the big 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 were horde of tres
passers. He was their common enc
my, and 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, ILL.,, 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 II. Seward, E.
M. 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 law
yers' battle, and Mccormick was
finally defeated by Stanton, who
made an unanswerably eloquent
speech. For this speech Stanton re-
ceived $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. - II. n.
