Awriter in the London Times on the cotton
trade Of England and America calls the atten-
| Ton Of the English to the fact that ''the RI
valry Of American manufactures is a phe-
nomenon" OF such magnitude that 1t deserves
the most anxious investigation. He says:
America has more than one-fourth the
Number Of spindles which we possess, she Is
able to find employment for these, and she Is
constantly adding TO their number. Her
consumption Is equal to one-haf of ours.
But few years ago we shut her out from all
DTelgn markets, and In face Of excessive
auties we landed on her shores and sold to
advantage large quantities of cotton cloths
Today she is able to supply almost the whole
q her own wants. she meets US in the mar
kets Of South America and the East-nay
her cloths are to be found in all our large
towns, competing fairly with our own. A
strong popular sentiment supports this ag-
gressive movement and an export trade ii
manufactured goods has become in America
IN object OF national desire. Journals spe-
eally devoted to this trade have sprung up.
and appear to flourish. Government has lent
IL aid by directing all its consular agents to
collect information fitted TO be serviceable to
manufacturers. A rivalry which has already
achieved so much and aims at 50 much more,
cannot be regared otherwise than as most
formidable"
In assignln & the causes Of this formidable
Phenomenon, the writer places first the
rapid progress the Americans have made in
REINFORCEMENT of their processes Of manu-
iactare, and he states the following facts
In 1853 the average English production per
weaver OF 81 pound shifting was S25 yards
per week OF sixty hours. Ia 1873 the working
hours had fallen to fifty-seven, and the pro-
auction had risen to 975 yards. An increased
production OF % per cent is thus due to i'm
provement IN the processes Of manufacture:
10 1865 there Were 24l5i persons employed
U Massachusetts in the production Of cotton
goods. and they produced $4,000, 600 yards
~ 10 1875 the operatives numbered 60,I76, and
melt product was s14.0O0G00 yards. The ope-
.atlyes had increased 80 per cent, and their
products had increased 800 per cent.
Inc increase Of production due to improved
/ tsesnOds was thus in England % per cent, and

enough to satisfy the yirginians, If 1t is not
their intention to repudiate it altogether.
The scheme is to issue new bonds for the
whole amount of the principal outstanding

bonds to bear 8 per cent interest for five
years, per cent for twenty-five years and 5
per cent for ten years-the whole term of the

with the English Lutheran Church, by the rite Of
confirmation. on the Sd Of June, 1843, remaining
faithful and true to the end Of her days. She
married her now bereaved husband on the 29th
of April 1S47. The Lord blessed the union with
nine children. Her sickness was lingering, and
at times attendant with much suffering, which
she bore with resignation and humble submis-
sion to the Lords will But her God and Father
never forsook her, and finally delivered her from
all evil, taking her home TO himself in heaven,
where she can bathe her weary soul In seas OF
heavenly rest.
Her mother, two of her children and one grand
child ha re preceded her to the spirit land; her
husband, seven children and four grand
children, together with many relatives and
friends, surviving TO mourn her departure. On
the 10th inst, her mortsl remains were laid to
rest, In the church.ysrd OF the Mudbrook Church,
where she so often worshipped. The last sad
rites being attended by very large concourse of
people, and on which occasion the writer en-
deavOred to console the mourning congregation

32 In the German language. May the Lord sup
port his afflicted ones with his loving Kindness

ELECTING DELEGATES,

The Democrats of the townships and
wards respectively of Stark County are
called upon to elect delegates on Satur'
day, August I'd, for the County Conven'
ton, to meet in Canton on the following
Tuesday.
This Convention is to nominate Candi'
dates for the lower House of the Legis'
lature and County positions. The work
is important, and we doubt not our
friends over the County realize the same
Let solid and Considerate men be &c.
lected as delegates, who will put up q
ticket that will insure victory. Every
thing for the CAUSE
1t should be remembered that Stark
County went Republican last fall. The
causes that brought about this result, II
is needless to refer to. 1t is, however
desirable that things should be put in
shape for q different result next fall
All this depends upon ourselves. Hence
the Importance of the work ofthe I'd and
Of the 9th Uf August.
II our friends give the work their
proper, earnest and careful attention, we
have no fears of the result. Let US un'
derstand and comprehend the situation
consider what is required, and necessary
to be done, and do it with will. Lei
this be done, and Stark county will
wheel into the Democratic line, there to
remain until we help to elect Demo
cfStic President to succeed Republican
ERAUD; and 80 continue.
