Abigail at the Foot of the Rock Sermon on Wives and Heaven
Rev. Talmage honors Abigail from scripture, extols wives as home anchors, urges women to stay within the home, keep themselves attractive, support husbands, and raise righteous children. He argues women should lead husbands toward heaven through prayer and example, condemns infanticide and public scandal, cites historical acts of women, and contrasts virtuous motherhood with social coquettes.

Ohio Wool Growers Demand Restoration of 1867 Tariff
At a Columbus meeting on January 12 Ohio wool growers urge Congress to restore the 1867 wool tariff or its equivalent. They cite rising foreign wool imports since 1883, falling wool prices, and Ohio sheep declines, arguing protection sustains a 528 million dollar industry employing millions and supporting communities. They warn free wool would depress prices, reduce land values, and shift agriculture away from wool toward staples.

Wool Industry Clash Over Tariffs and Protection
In 1888 a group led by Columbus Delano argues tariffs favor wool manufacturing over wool growing, citing profits 18.08% vs 3.04%, and claims duties essential to protect domestic wool. They warn free wool would ruin the two million workers and vast capital tied to sheep and flocks.

Little Habits Personal Eccentricities From The Courier
The Poughkeepsie Courier notes that nearly everyone has small traits that cling to them such as saying Is that so Really and various gestures. Some men remove glasses when speaking or scratch heads with pencils while others play with hair or rub their noses. Women show gentler quirks like clasping hands or drawing a handkerchief. These habits amuse or repulse but remain intriguing to observers.
