4 Farmers Protest,


House of Representatives, WASH
ington, ID. C,--ncar SIR
We farmers here in the west ere
watching the proceedings Of your
committee with considerable inter-
est We see that y GU are hcsicgcd
with lobbyists arguing before Your
committee for the interests Of the
iron and BeSSemcr steel and other
manufacturers, wherein bills before
Your committee conflict with their
protected interests. We farmers
have not the means to 20 te Wash
ington to argue our cause before
Your committee. Did YOU ever
hear OF u delegation of farmers Wis
iting Congress for the purpose ot
requesting, members of Congress tn
enact special laws for their interests?
| guess not | never have, We
do not ask any protection; all we
ask is the privilege to sell our pro-
duets where we can obtain the most
money for them, and To- pur-
chase where we can obtain the most
for our money We are not such
fools but We can see that protective
tariffs mean that II takes from the
poor man To make the rich man
mnn richer. We SEQ that our labor
is not protected; we arc Robbed
every tlmc we make u purchase,
Neither can we he protected hy
Congress unless il aholishes the
protective system, and let's every
tub stand on its own bottom. Ii
opens our eyes when we take n
load of wheat to market, and the
whrat.buyer offers Ms % cents per
bushel, knowing that he paid our
neighbor the day before 81 90; We
ask him the reason why he cannot
pay us rs much AZ he paid oul
neighbor yesterday. oh" h,
says, wheat has dropped five cent,
in Liverpool So you sec how il
is, we must sell the surplus of oul
products for what they are worth in
the worlds markets, which price
regulates all that is consumed at
home; but how different il is when
we have 10 purchase the necessarlcs
for our families; we are debnrrcd
from purchasing in the worlds
markets, and are obliged to pur-
chase from those who are protected
by class legislation, and who extort
from us fabulous prices for Their
products. IL railroad com pnniet
could obtain Bessemcr steel and iron
duty free railroads and running
stock could be built 40 much cheap
er that our products could be trans
ported TO tho seaboard cheaper
which would be Of great benefit tc
to us. II there is any class o
people worthy Of protection il il The
agreulturist We arc about five.
cighths Of the people Of the United
Statc.; we do not ask any special
legislation for our interests, nor
never did; we are sick anil dis.

fellows think there arc ~ pcr5ons
in interest IN the goveralnentof the
United States bat congressman and
manufacturers. The people Of the
United States were never cursed
with such a get Of OH political
blistcrs as they are NJ this time.
Quit you wrangling, and do somc-

EDITOR HERALD AND TRIBUNE
Noticing you want tho news items in
general, | will try and give you a
few from the "County Bridge" which
| hope, will interest some one, at least.
Our farmers are all busy at work,
preparing for their Spring crops,
which | understand will be very large.
In almost every field one passes, he
can hear the voice Of the pillow boy
hallooing, gee IVA ha." From the
amount of grubbing, too, that is going
on one would infer that there will
be an unusual amount of new ground
in cultivation this season.
We are glad to see back in our
midst again, our young friend, VIM.
Onks. William can boast of more
young lady friends about these parts
than most any Young man we know
Of. We don't blame VIII.
We understand that Rev. j.
Sherfcy preached an excellent sermon
at Bells School House last Sunday.
We also announce that the Rev.
Mr.. Robson will preach at Bells
on the LIST Sunday i'll March, at
3 O'Clock p. III. Mr.. Robson is a
good preacher, and we hope he may
have a full house.
Who is responsible for the County
Bridge? We think the Rail Road
company should be. 1t needs imme-
diate attention, or it will soon be I'M
safe to cross. Hope the matter will
be looked into. More anon.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your correspondent

cluded a leisure day could not be bet
ter OF more proftably employed than
a visit to that sprightly little city,
which will, sooner or later, be a disa-
greeable rival Of our own beloved
town, Jonesboro.
Acting on this impulse, we, with a
comrade, mounted our steeds, took
our line of march, and by a %circuitous
route, entered the City at the Wes-
tern terminus, through what is known
as Lemons Wilderness" We were
very much surprised at what was
presented to our view, as we did not
expect to find the improvements SO
extensive nor the general prosperity
so apparent.
After admiring, with wonder and
establishment, the many costly and
palatial residences and business houses
we began our tour of inspection, by
first visiting the extensive shoe shops
located neal the beautiful grove il
the western part Of the city. W.

Suicide nj Bristol.

We learn from The Bristol News
that Mr.. Wilbur Lancaster, a most
estimable and worthy young man of
Bristol, shot and killed himself at his
home in Bristol last Tuesday. Mr..
Lancaster had been in the employ Of
the Southern Express Company, and
acted as messenger between Bristol
and Chattanooga. He is thought to
have been out of his right mind when
he fired the shot which caused him
instant death, the ball passing through
the heart.

Of getting his delegation admitted to

The Democratic party is capable of
almost any stupidity, but it is not

forwards Kelly may be strong enough
to smash Tilden, but Tilden is strong
enough to smash the whole party, and
if he is showed out in The cold and
Kelly taken in by the fre,he can be
depended on to do it. The fact is
that the Democratic party is in the
hands of Tilden, and if he is to be
sacrificed he must be allowed to di.

ated in a dense cluster of grape vines,
surrounded by beautiful lawns, in
terspersed with fruit trees >of all va
%rieties. We found the Mayor IN, who
proved t9ebe a very ;4Gubta aaa can,-
teous old gentleman. He, in his po-
lite and bland way, gave Us many
items Of interest concerning the wei
fare, and also the future designs of
the citizens.
After partaking Of 4 hearty lunch
with that high functionary, we re-
slmcd our journey, visiting many
places of interest, among which VIC
will notice the large and commodious
establishment in the heart of the city.
where is being constructed some OF
the finest Portable C,rn Mills that
are now used in the State. We were
conducted through the many depart
ments by the senior manager, and
was well pleased and wonderfully
surprised to see the skill and work
manship display,d by the many
jo%urneymen employed.
The extensive blacksmith shops
near by is deserving of special men
ton. The proprietor of that concern.
we believe, employs some ten or a
dozen assistants, to help him forward
the many and different kinds of work
in his line of business.
The next place of interest is the
mammoth furniture shops in the
Northern part Of the City. There
we found on exhibition, some of the
finest furniture, Of modern designs
and finish, that has been our privilege
to see for many a day. That gentle
man has in connection with his shops
a saw and grist mill, also a carding
machine, and gives employment to q
large number of hands.
The next visit was to the Office Of
the Chief Marshal, but we failed tc
find that worthy Official in. He was
we understand, out with a posse OF
hands, making some needed improve
ments along Sassafras Alley.
The account of other places visited
have to be deferred for a future ar
ticle. Yours,
