We are perfectly content that th. Herald continue its efTort to enlighten , the fanners of Adams county on the * *ariff issue. They have voted on this question a good while and have each ; two years expressed their attitude. ( The mis-statements are too easily rec- 1 ognized to cause much alarm. For < several days now they have been call- \ ing attention to the wonderful reduc- h tton in the prices of farm products, h claiming that because of the new tar- j • iff law the prices have gone to smash. 1 1 i btateir.r ft f "* < ii<*uiou!>iv ■ i faiac.

' now ideas, Senator Bacon retained his -1 hold unshaken upon the affections of ! the people of his state. If he had liv- : ed until March 3 he would have outert' ed upon his fourth consecutive term jus senator, a record readied by no senator from Georgia. The loyalty of ! his state to flint and his long service ! and solid attainments gave him great " influence among the members not only of his own party but also of the op- , position. To his inspiration and ex- . - ample was due in very large part the moderation of the senate in its policy I jon the Mexican questions when cerj tain hotheads were seeking to cause , trouble front dubious motives. For J his consistent attitude in that matter as chairman of the committee on for- | eign relations, both the country and | the administration owe hint a great | debt of gratitude.—New York World. If one would read the Herald and actually believe it, he would soon i think that this country had gone to ruin. They are continually crying! about tile number of peopte who are out of employment and the reduction jof the prices being paid to farmers, charging all the things which happen j to the new tariff law. They must I , think the people of this county are an | | ignorant set and that's where they t are mistaken, for the people of Ad-j ams county are as well posted a any j in this great and enlightened country, j We feel that it is proof of that fact j that we have been voting consistently in this county for fifty years for the laws which are now being enacted j and which will make this country within eighteen months the most pros-! perous it has ever been. The facts: are that there are no more people out j of employment than are always out j at this season. There are in this! country a great many place* for work men which are open only in the sum- j mer, spring and fail, and the winter months always bring some hard-din This is true this year, but no more so than for years past. It is a truth tii*t when .-pring open? and bu«ioe - begins every man who wants work will have it and plenty, in fact each day now. the papers, except those wlie are pulling back all they can to pre vent a prosperous condition, are recording statements of increased forces ANOTHER MARY REEL. \\ tiii&m 1 of tiu j Crystal theater, is pleased to an nounce that he has secured another* Mary” reel for the show tonight.
