Show THAT MOWING MACHINE ARGUMENT. ARGU-MENT. At a Republican rally held in the Central seliQolhouse the other evening, one of the speakers rejoiced that he belonged be-longed to the G. O. P., for he could now-cut now-cut his lucern with a mower instead of w ith a sythe, as formerly. We don't know how much of a "lucern patch" this gentleman owns, nor how much experience ex-perience he has had in the mowing business; neither do we know by what system of logic he arrived at the conclusion con-clusion that the inventor of the mower was a Republican. But one fact in regard to that machine he could easily find out, and that is that he probably paid from 50 to 100 per cent, more for it than he could have purchased it for, had it not been for Republican legislation. AVe say this upon authority that we have before quoted, and also from a statement state-ment made a year or two ago by one of the speakers who talked Republicanism Republi-canism at that same meeting the other evening. That gentleman set the writer strongly on Democracy by stat-! ing, among other good tariff argu- i ments, that he could buy a McCor-mick McCor-mick machine cheaper in the City of Mexico than at the factory ' ': e company com-pany in the United States. ill our j friend please pursue that mowing ma-1 chine argument a little further? |
