TRY a YEARS. ADVERTISING.

With the beginning of new volume,
we would like to call the attention of
business men, at home and in our neigh
boring towns and cities, to the advanta-
ges of advertising in THE HERALD. The
success and standing of our paper are
well known. Its friends and its reputa-
ton are its strongest backing, Printed
subscription lists open to the public are
its standing testimony. A glance over
the paper will show its merits,-live ad-
vertisements of leading business men at
home, and some of the most reliable firms
in Hagerstown, Washington, Baltimore,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, and
other places. Surely it pays them to ad-
vertise iudiclously, in paper that has a
paid circulation in all the leading homes
in this rich Valley of Virginia.
Try an advertisement, not for once or
twice but reserve fair space and make
an inviting and attractive announce
ment of your goods once a month or so
for year, and see whether your bust
ness don't pick up "a class of trade,
too, that pays as it goes and is worth try
ing to get through advertising induce
ments, and worth trying to keep by fair
dealing and good trade.
THE HERALD is the acknowledged
leading paper in this end of the State
Republican in principle, but free and in
dependent of every influence except the
best interests of the people among whom
it circulates.
Its printing facilities are complete, and
there is no work it cannot do at prices
as low as it can be done for in the cities.

One of the most notable things in
the vote Of Maine was the large fall.
ing off in the Prohibition vote. Fol.
lowing the example OF Oregon and
Vermont, the former supporters of
the Prohibition ticket have returned
to the Republican party. Hope ran
high in Democratic circles that there
would be a large increase in she Pro-
hibitiOn vote this year, and the Dem
ocratic organs have been at pains to
tell their readers that what they
facetiously called the free whiskey
plank IN the Republican platform
would result in a wholesale deser-
ton of the temperance men from the
Republican party. The sequel is
not what they expected. The large
Prohibition vote in the Empire State
four years ago had not little to do
with Mr.. BlaiDe's defeat in 1884.
But the tide is now setting in the
opposite direction, and he Is a dull

that contained in your letter of Sep.

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD,

With all due respect to Mr.. Faulk-
ner, is it not that cry that has been
injury to the party in the
State and County for years, driven
many good men away, and kept 9TH
ers down who might have risen but
that there was no room for them?
Why should we build wall
about this country and trade only
with ourselves? AS we'll build wall
about our State or our town, and trade
with each Others -,Hdtesman.
Exactly. Let the Democrats have
their torches made by home timers.
Let the aristocrats purchase their
clothes from Martinsburg dealers and
not from Worth or Denorest, or some
London snob; and their furniture
from our dealers and not In the cities;
and stop sending your lumber away
for little or nothing and buying back
your agricultural implements at high
cash prices. In plain words be a pro-
tectionist and encourage home trade
and industry, and Martinsburg will
be a prosperous city instead OF
helping to build up some foreign
place and remaining poor and strug-
Cling to get along by free trade with
every Tom, Dick and Harry who
does not help one cent to pay home
taxes.
"Why is it that the Republican
speakers from Blaine down refuse to

Where and when have they? Did
Wilson challenge Golf? Did Faulk-
ner or Kenna or any man on the
Democratic ticket challenge Repub-

man, and then talk if there is no Re-
publican there to meet him. Until
then for Truths sake shut up.
"What has become of Harrison and

You don't read the daily papers or
you would have seen Mr.. Harrison's

He is one of the solid business men

THE DRIFT OF THE TIDE.

Concerning the Alabama election
little is known. The full returns
have not been published and only a
guess made at the Democratic ma.
.jority. This has been placed some.
where between 10000 and 100000.
AS the Democrats had 13S,399 ma
.;ority at the corresponding state
election il 1884, there is certain to
be large falling off in the Demo.
cratic majority this year.
This shows that the above states
are uncompromisingly in favor OF
tariff for the protection of American
industries and American labor, and
opposed to free wool, free coal, free
lumber and free raw material.
The Republican platform stands
unchanged and anameDded. The
issue is Protection vs.. Free Trade.
The Democratic platform OF 1888
was opposed to the tariff for revenue
only platform of 1884. The st. Lou.
platform was based upon the Presi.
dents Free Trade Message, inter.
preted by which the Mills Bill was
accepted and endorsed.
Now comes Mr.. Cleveland's Letter
OF Acceptance and repndiates the
st. Louis platform, ignores his own
message to Congress, denies the pro
visions of the Mills Bill with it's
clauses of free wool, free coal, free
salt, free lumber, free raw material,
on record as passed by a Democrat.
ic House and rejected by Republi.
can Senate, and with a most pathetic
appeal TO the people for their votes,
straddles the same old tariff plank
of 1854.
The country is in no condition to
approve of such trifing with so grave
a question. 1t effects the welfare OF
the people where it hurts,--their
pockets,--empty among the masses;
work scarce,-wages uncertain
collections almost impossible. Is
the policy OF the Government to be
shakyf
Isn't the issue plain If Free
Trade is the remedy for the evils
under which the people suffer and
the country is agitated, Protection is
not; and il Protection is the remedy,
Free Trade Is not. Both can't work
Give us one or the other.
The Republicans call Free Trade
CURSE. The Democrats call Pro
lection a ROBBERY. Voters, you
are to be the judges
Under the same rule, the next
four years can be no better than the
last four have been. ~ ~

THE VOICE OF MAINE.

The pine tree state is the first to
respond to President Cleveland's
letter by ringing majority for the
American system of protection.
When Oregon a few months ago
sounded the alarm by . majority for
the Republican ticket, unprecedent.
ed since the days of the war, the
Democrats treated it with disdain.
Vermont put itself on record against
the Mills bill and the free trade ten
denotes of the administration by a
protest that reSounded from one end
of the country to the other. but the
Democrats affected ignorance OF the
lesson it conveyed. Maine put itself
in the line with Oregon and the
Green Mountain State, with a ma
jority for the Republican ticket as
gratifying as it was unexpected, the
largest since the war, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of the phenomenal
vote when the Pine Tree States fav,
orite son was a candidate for the
highest office in the nations gift.
The state was thoroughly canvassed
by both parties. Hundreds of speak
ers from all sections of the country
were pressed into the service by
Democrats whose efforts we're direct
ed towards reducing the 10000 ma
jority given for the Republican tick
ct two years ago. But the chief de-
pendence of the Democratic mana
gers was the third party. In
their misguided zeal to destroy the
Republican party, the Prohibition
lists allowed themselves to believe
that they would double their vote of
1886. 1t is to be hoped that the re.
turns from Maine have undeceived
them, and shown them the folly of
their ways. AS in Oregon and Yer.
mont, so also in Maine, has the Pro
hibition vote fallen off. Voters ev.
erywhere recognize that it is con.
dition which confronts them, and
not a theory, and that the overshad.
owing issue in this campaign is that
laid down by the President in his
lDecem Der message, and by the Dem.
ocratic party in the Mills bill. BY
largely increased majority, Name
declines to range itself on the side
of free trade, and to sacrifice the
system which has made the country
prosperous above every other on the
face of the earth. Name is satisfied
with existing conditions, and refuses
to change them for mere theories.
Her answer to Mr.. Blaine's appeal
is but the prelude to still greater
| triumphs in November.

YOU CAN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE.

Some of the politicians and politi-
cal papers seem to forget that in this
age the majority Of the people read
and think for themselves, and what
they don't find out from one source
they will from another. To suppress
the truth or misrepresent it is an i'm
position which every intelligent man
will resent. Eight-tenths of the vot.
ers of both parties are conscientious
and want to vote for the best men and
for the country's best political policy;
one-tenth are party followers who vote
for anything the party sets up, and
the other tenth vote for self-interest
and are always on "the make"
Is it not reasonable, therefore, that
in dealing with class of people who
read and see and think for them
selves, that more is to be gained by a
truthful and honest course than by
subterfuge and prevarication
Let an intelligent and fair-minded
man democrat ifyou please,) read
one column of boastful bosh" in a
paper like the Statesman, and it will
make him politically independent.
His intelligent mind and fair judy
ment will puncture every insinuating
bubble and in their explosion pre-
serve his own self-respect and manly
pride of honest purpose.
