1922, and at the age Of twelve, her pa
rents removed to Craftsbury where
she lived until her marriage to Arthur
Marston, of Oxford, where she resided
until her death, which occurred OH Aug

years ago. She united with the Con-
gregational church at Craftsbury at an
early age, removing her connection to
the church at Orfordville soon after
going there to reside, of which church
she has been useful and exemplary
member. Mrs. Marston was an ear
nest CONSTANT christian, being much
interested in all that partained to the
cause of Christ, and the welfare of
His church. She possessed those rare
virtues of mind and heart, those refin-
ing and ennobling qualities which rem
der the christian life invaluable. Her
funeral was observed at her late resi-
dence at Oxford ST., the services being
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Bard, who
spoke in very appropriate and accep-
table manner. The singing was i'll
charge of Mrs. N. f. Morey, of NAL

Thetford, and Mr.. Lovejoy of Oxford.

her trust so implicitly in her Saviour,
we trust our loss is her eternal gain.

often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar

old till she became six years OF age. Luinps
formed in her neck, and one OF them after
growing to the size of pigeons egg, became

Our free trade contemporaries have not
yet found time to explain to the working
man, how, If their theory is adopted and
American industries are placed in COMPETE
tion with English industries, his wages are
to be kept up to their present standard. 1t
is not to be denied that at the present time
wages In this country are higher than in
England. and therefore it would seem to fol-
low that the English manufacturer can pro-
duce goods at lower cost that the American
manufacturer. Now when the goods Of the
former are placed in competition on equal
terms In the markets of the United States
with the goods of the latter, how is the
American manufacturer to keep his head
above water except by cutting down the
price he pays for labor? 1t is all very fine
to say that with free raw N aterials we can
contest with England for the markets of the
world, but it is perfectly clear to anybody
that examines the question that free raw
materials are not sufficient to enable us to
carry On such contest. We must have
cheaper labor.

Two years ago when Robert j. Vance was
nominated fol Congress in the First Con.
necticut District platform was adopted
declaring shat taxes should not be imposed
on the people for any other purpose than the
support of the government" OF this plat
form one of its trainers remarked that 1t did
away with shat old bugbear OF perfection !"
and the convention adopted it unanimously.
But SO great was the uprising against this
platform in the district that a new conven-
tion was called, at which the paragraph was
reconsidered and rejected. But in two short
years the Democratic party of the nation has
sent Randall to the rear; and under the
domination of the Southern wing, with Car
Isle and Watterson anc Mills for leaders,
is working heart and soul for tariff for
revenue only, which means virtual free
trade. 1t is interesting to await the action
of those Democrats n the First District of

State of Connecticut. Two years ago they
ran away from the free trade issue after
they had made it; they cannot do it success
fully this year. when behind them is massed
