Among the many hard nuts which free

Let us see how il works in our trade with
Cuba. Previous TO the enactment of the
Mckinley law and its reciprocity clause our
sales of -four to that island amounted to
S6OO0,000 per year. During the last year of
the reciprocity clause of Mckinley law they
reached the sum of S21 600 600 and now it
amounts to practically nothing. Before
reciprocity was enacted. the duty on Ameri-
can flour in Cuban ports was S4.75 per bar
rel and on American iron the duty was S24
per ton. Under reciprocity the duty on -four
was reduced to 81 per barrel and our iron
was admitted free but after the advise De-
mocracy repealed the Mckinley law and its
reciprocity clause. the duty on both -four
and iron was restored to its original figures
and our free trade cut off and yet we buy
as much sugar and coffee from Cuba as
ever. Where does the benefit to United

Obituary slaght.

Died near Beetown. Jan. I6 1896, of con-
sumption. Ella, beloved wife of Herbert
Slaght and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Geo
Blackburn, aged SO years and days. The
young husband and six little children
mourn with the parents, four brothers and
four sisters of the deceased.
How sad that Death should claim thus
early loving mother and leave in darkness
the home where her guiding hand is so
and girlsi May the hand of the God in
whom she trusted. guard them from evil
and lead them into the heaven where she
has gone.
Ella was one of our girls many years ago
in the Knotwell district There l think. she
was born and in that neighborhoo she has
always lived. The long procession that fol-
lowed TO the grave speak the estimation in
which she was held. The bereaved husband
was neighhor and school-mate through all
her youth She was fair woman of slen-
der mold, quiet and undemonstrative in all
her ways. For twelve. years she had been
Christian. But the burdens of farm-life
and the accommodating cares of young moth
erhood were toe heavy for her delicate
shoulders SLOWLY. uniinchingly the de-
stroyer Tapped the life-blood But she
bore the long weary months of weakness
and pain with the same patience and trust
full submission that had sustained in all her
daily tasks. TO the Savior, who had been
her shield and helper she confded those
she loved and died firm in the faith that
she would meet them again. Safe in her
Fathers home
The sun has hid its rays
These many DAYS.
VIII dreary hours never leave the earths
oh doubling heart
The stormy clouds on high
Veil the same sunny sky.
That soon tfor Spring is nigh)
Shall wake the summer into golden
mirth
Fair hope is dead and light
ISduSnched in night.
What sound can break the silence of
despair
oh doubling heart,
The sky is overcast
Yet stars shall rise at last
Brighter for darkness past
And angels silver voices stir the air.
