MR. BLA1NE'S GRAND SUBSIDY euHEMF.
sonator BLAINE is never himself unless he
ID sensational. His lntcBt effort Of this kind
is in tho shape Of 1ottor 10 some merchants
In New York on the subjeot Of raviviug tho
merchant marine Of the United slatca. Itia
said that Dir. BLAINE Ans Of lase modelled his
public conduct upon that Of HESnr ObAr,
and that this imitation extends to tho method
Of his oratory. CbAr was aggressive; 80 is
BLAINE. CLAY was intolerant Of opposition
aud SO Is BLAINE. CLAY permitted no rivalry
In hia own party; nor does Mr. BLAINE.
Whoever notices N1r. BLA1NE's manner Of
dealing with public questions will rccogn,ze
how closely he aims Mt initiating C1Ar. A1r.
CLAY had pct political hobby which
he called tho "Great American systom,"
which in later days il known ns the
"protectivo tariff" syatom. A1r. BLAINE
has been loading up to system Of his own,
and in his lctter. just published ho pro-
claiina il, and claims patent for 1t, and
this system may bo appropriately styled tho
"Great American subsidy scheme, by which
he proposes TO cover tho ocean aud fill the
harbors Of the globe with ocoan. going stean,-
