THAT BINDER TRIAL.
Tug OTHER SIDE OI' THE 8TOItT._
To (he Editor of the Clinton Neto Era,
Sin, --My attention is drawn to two
communications,; which appeared in the Ex-
positor of the 30th nit; one over the signa-
tur) of Geo. A. Moffatt,, the other signed by
Geo, and Thos. Shipley, and both referring
to the trial of binders which took place ou.
the farm of Mr. Thos Shipley, on duly 19th,
Now, Mr. Editor, as those reportsare both
very misleading, 1 oak your indulgence to
allow me space to answer, in defence of and
in justice to myself, also to lay the matter,
in its true light, before the public. In the
first place Mr. Moffatt -asks, "Wily did they
bring in a machine that had run through the
harvest of 1885, with an experienced 'man
and teamto handle it, to compete With new
machines out of the shop, just .Ret up, if it
wasuot to take an undue advantage.?" Great
Scott ! "Take an undue advantage I" Did
the thrashing be got smart so hard -as that,.
it must have been a very severe one for him..
"Take an undue advantage !" see how he
adknowledgea hie defeat, and limps offwith
the misleading and childish excuse, " Why
dill they take en un•lue advantage?" The
reason we slid not take a new machine into
the field is as well known to Mr. Moffatt as.
to ourselves, but for the benefit of the public
I will just explain. The Binder Association
(by which Mr, Moffatt, as well as myself, is
governed in selling binders) prohibits agents
from entering field•trials, on any considera-
tionr and as both Meeers, t'Villiam and Thos.
Shipley had previously bought a new Brant-
ford binder, we, of course, could not enter
their field with a new machine for competi-
tion, and in this emergency, Mr. Churchill,
who bought a "Toronto" from •me last sea -
sen, being confident of the .efficiency of his
machine,, entered the field on his own respon-
sibility, and -the result is clearly proven by
the testimonial 1 append.' And now about
"the experienced man to handle it." Suoh
childish •'twaddle 1' Mr. Churchill's experi-
ence with. the Toronto extends only as far.
bank as last season, while Masers. Shipley,. iii
their own letter, boast of having six •years
experience with binders, and this in connec-
tion with the experience: of Mr. Moon and
Mr Moffatt himself. Does it take an expert
to work the "Brantford ?" Mr. ,Moffatt
would lead us to' that belief.Again Mr..
'Moffatt says, " 1Ye knew nothingabout the
arrangements until Monday noon, and the
machine was at the 'station:" Yes, Thomas.
Shipley's "machine was ' at the . station, but
where was Wm. Shipley's machine? I Mean
the one they were making such miserable
and very inferior work with, on .Saturday,
and after,whieh' they had to go•with a scythe
to mow the lodged.places, which their Brant-
ford binder run. over,. I ask what -became of
this machine on Monday, why did they not
bring it into the• trial ? 'Suppose they knew
from experience, it could not Compete with
the Toronto, .in the field, and there was.,ne
use of expusiilg its inferiority; but •kad
vague and unfounded hope. that Thos. Ship=
hay's machine, ..which was,at.,We station,
might do a little better.: Again,' Mr. Moflatt
says, ".,We set up s machine and started, and
wound up by selling the Messrs. Shipley the;
best binder n the. field," My, how crafty;
wouldn't he like to lead tlie.public to believe
that he sold the binders then and there: This
is purely false,'and'is,caloulated, While -smart-
ing Under •open defeat, to mislead-.'those,who'
were not aware that the two binders,had been
rayl us
p o ly ordered, N.iw, if he, denies .that.
the machines were "previously ordered, -then
:he implicates himself, and is subject to a fine
of $25, ,by the rules of the Association; which
plainly state that no binder shall be delivered
without a bonatide' order from the purchaser.
Now, as for the Messrs:: Shipley's loving
.epistle, it is simply a'robed' of Airy Moffatt'a
misleading epistle,-. and was, 'undoubtedly,
penned by the Same hand,therefore, requires
no further comment, excepting the last part,
.in which they say, "We might mention that.
we could have:bought a Toronto mlithine for
the same price, or a little less." Now,' this'
is not correct, as Mr. Thos. Shipley; ontwo.
or three occasions, offered'ree $150 cash, and,
his old binder, for a new Toronto Binder, in
presence of two or thteewitnesses, and stated
that ho'could get a Brantford binder for that
amotint, but `preferred: to take a Toronto,, if
he 'could get it on these terms.,.; Thanking,
you, Mr. `T'lditor, for, space„ I, remain,' yours'
