Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 December 1883 — Honest Bumpkins. [ARTICLE]

Honest Bumpkins.

The Connecticut farmer now buys all the oleomargarine he can find and mixes it with genuine butter and sella it for butter. He is as cunning as the sugar planter who buys glucose and mixes it with sugar at the sugar mill. The law does not catch on to such cheats and public opinion is slow. — New Orleans Picayune. When there is much pretension much has been borrowed; ilature never pretends.—Lavater.
