8 Honest Cotton and Pasteboard Shoes?A Farmer Asks Some Pertinent Questions. Mr. Editor: 1*16896 allow me apace in your paper to express a lew thoughts and ?sk a few questions. The law says equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Now 1 don't think that is the case, especially with the farmers Fake cotton, for instance. Toe law requires that every bale be honest. Well, th?t is right. The farmer take his honest cotton to town and swaps it for stioes made out ot rotten leather, pas'e board or .<ny thing the niantacturer can get to hang together and hold paint. We take those ? ~ ?? ?.! of nnnriin 1 llft\ SIIU^'H IlUUIt- Fill"! v?l VOUI'"" . are no good. What then, take them back to our merchant? II you do he will tell von be thought ihov were good, he hail had no kick on them betore; but he will tell you he has a shoe he can recommend. \Yrhy can't he recommend all his shoes' \Y ? guarantee all our cotton and it it is not good it comes back on us. We must pay all lr< ight ami damages. Of course that is right But why the dill reuce; Again, we ar? competed 1 ? buy 30 ibs bagging and ties i" put n ur cotlou or .1 mijiio um ol Gc/, n deducted Irom tiie price. The buyer knilos it all he wants to just like he was buying it, bag. ging and all. and ships it to the mill. Ttiey patch it up and sell it back to us again. Why don't they give it back to us?
