Mrs. Hannah Hank passed to the unchang-
ing change last Sunday morning, aged 73
years. She had been failing for two years,
the effects of the grippe, and her decease
was expected. OF truth it can be said of
her that "the world is better from her hav-
ing lived, }" and that she cheerfully and most
successfully acted her part in life. The great
pleasure was vouchsated to her, as but to a
few, of seeing her six children grown up and
we'll settled in life, in comfortable circum-
stances and respected members of their re-
Spective societies. Her genial, affable and
pleasant disposition won for her the respect
and best wishes of all who were so fortunate
as to make her acquaintance. The obsequies
will be observed tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2
O'Clock pm.
Mrs. Asenath Young is on the sick list, the

dislike the Ravenna republicans and aspir.
| ants. am informed that party by the

For nearly two years last past, have been
| continually told, most of the manufacturing
establishments in this country have been
closed, !" on account of threatened adverse
tariff legislation" That large number OF
establishments have been closed / have NO
means of questioning, and do not question
But if closed for the reason given we might
/ reasonably expect, after nearly two years of
of American manufactured goods in the mar
ket. therefore made diligent enquiry as
| to the fact. enquired of several dry goods
dealers if they had any difficulty or delay in
| their orders being promptly filed with Amer
| ican manufactured goods in their line? They
/ Ill replied L0aG tnSEG WAS uO O0ldy WQaCGY6f
| l made the same enquiry OF several dealers
| in hardware, and of dealers in stoves and tin
| ware, and the same of dealers in agricultural
| implements. / made the same enquiry OF
managers OF railroads, and of contractors
generally, and received the same reply
Now, throwing aside political prejudices and
biased ideas, candidly and honestly, how is
it that after nearly two years of enforced
idleness in almost all our manufacturing
establishments, the market is fully stocked
with American manufactured goods? Some
may say, " the times are hard and the people
have not bought as much as heretofore >
But haven't they bought all they needed
There is only one correct answer, and thai
is, an exclusively home market. The Hon
Carroll D, Wright, Commissioner of Labor
says, that in eight months we can manufac
ture all we can consume in year, conse
quently there must be four months of idle
ness in every year for operatives, or, if full
time is worked, there must be surplusage
or foreign market. And there can be nc
foreign market with Mckinley tariff. Fl.
