Freedom of Opinion.

Hon. Thomas b. Reed closed his speech at
the jubilee meeting at Portland, as follows:
There is one principle that we mean shall
be established all over this land, and that is
the right of every man to express his opin-
ions publicly, without let or hindrance
You say to me, how are You going to do it:
Why, our Democratic brethren met us in
$50, and said to us in those days, You are
now fighting the institution of human sla-
very, but what are you going to do about il? 2
and we were obliged to say that we did not
know. We only thought that in some way or
other, we knew not how, that institution
should be swept away, because it was an
offense against God and sin against man.
And we said to ourselves, some how that
shall be done away with. but we looked for
ward through the long centuries, never dream
ing that we should see the end of it. So to-
day, we 20 not know how freedom of opinion,
the right o the expression of our ideas shall
be secured all over this land; but this We do
know, that there shall be no rest, no quiet.
and no peace until the right of every Ameri-
can citizen, by virtue of his manhood, to saw
whatever is in his mind shall be granted from
one end Of this country to the other. [Great

COUGHS Brorns Bronchial Troches
are used with advantage to alleviate CoUGHs,
SORE THROAT, IIoARsENEss and BRONCHIAL
AFFECTIONS. For thirty years these Troches
have been in use, with annual increasing ia.

having been tested by wide and constant use
for nearly an entire generation, they have
attained well-merited rank among the few
staple remedies of the age.
The Browns Bronchial Tro-

They have an extraordinary effect in all dis
orders of the throat and Larynx, restoring a
healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold
or over-exertion of the voice, and produce a
clear and distinction enuncation. Speakers
and Singers find the troches useful.
A Couch, Cold, CATARRH or Sore Throat,
requires immediate attention, as neglect of
ten-times results in some ineuroble Lung Dis

A Protective Tariff.

Is it not astonishing, that any farmer, me-
chanic. or other laboring man should be found
marching under the free trade banner of the
democratic party so called: Marching and
voting against their own interests? To reduce
their own wages: To impoverish their own
families? The present tariff. called the Nor
rill Tariff was enacted by the republican party
in 1861. The democrats opposed it. The
Solid South declared as follows: ''No boun-
''ties shall be granted from the Treasury, nor
'fshall any duties or taxes on importations
''from foreign nations be laid to promote or
''foster any branch of industry
In 1876, at St. Louis, the democrats in
national convention assembled, resolved as
follows: s'We demand that all Custom House
',axation shall be only for revenue"
At Cincinnati, in 1880, as follows: "A
tariff for revenue only"
In all this not one word in favor of pro-
tecting American labor, or American indus
try, but on the other hand the declaration
tia; mo duties or taxes on importations shall
''be laid to promote or foster any branch of
''iadustTy."
| Laberers Of Maine read this fir ON Charles
Palmer Il member Of the English Parliment.
Having their raw material of cotton, their
coal and their iron, and other raw materials,
| there can be no doubt that if labor in the
United States could be brought down to the
same price as we pay in this country, and
this can only be done by the removal Of their
tariff, they could manufacture as cheaply as
We do"

reduction of your wages.
| In 1873, Fernando Woods bill for a revis-

fore the National House, and was defeated by
the Republicans, led by Gen. Garfield. If

The New York Sun is pouring out its con-
tempt upon Hancock and the management of
the democrats from day to day. Speaking OF
the elections in Ohio and Indiana it said:
The democrats have sustained an unex-
pected and notifying defeat in Indiana and
Ohio. 1t is disastrous, and may prove
fstal. 1t is silly to make light of it, and idle
to try to white it away by cunning calcula-
tons and adroit figuring. The democrats are
beaten, badly beaten; whether beaten to
death or not is the only question.
1t is said that the democrats were beaten
in Indiana by the importation into that State
of Southern negroes to vote the republican
ticket This is a puerile, baby plea. Are
not the Indiana democrats men capable of
lawfully maintaining their rights?
Beaten bv negroes. 1t is the last thing
they ought to own, and they should be
ashamed to concede it.
In another article it administers to Han
cock the following sharp and scornful hit on
his tariff plumbers:
Gen. Hancock needs write nothing more
on the tariff.
Every one knows he is in favor of tariff
which will yield the utmost protection to
American industries, and especially to the
democratic party.
Gen Hancock should devote himself to
writing his inaugural, and, erea If II as aerer
dehirered, the preparation of it will be sal
utary literary exercise.
But if he must write on a tariff, let him
explicitly state that if it had been left to him
he would have put prohibitory tariff on the
readmission Of UHrepenfaRf rebels TO citizens
rights after the close of the gaF.

What is the Difference between a tariff
for revenue and tariff for protection
The workingman. who has tremendous
interest in this question. should not allow
himself to be cheated by democratic pre-
fences that there is no difference. A
tariff for revenue means a tax on articles
not produced in this country, as tea and
coffee. A tariff for protection means a
tax on articles which come into COMPETE
ton with American manufactures. The
former means the destruction of Ameri-
can manufactures; the latter means their
perpetuation. When Hancock talks about
tariff for revenue only being incident
ally protective" he talks nonsense, or
worse.

L nder our present protective policy as WISE
| ly instituted by the republicans, your pay is
more than double the above for the same
class of work. Do you want the change.
| This policy Hancock endorses in these words
eff were nominated by party | would be
governed by its platform or | would not ac-
cept the nomination" ''The principles enum-
| Grated by the convention are those | have
| cherished in the past and shall endeavor to
maintain in the future" SO it will be seen
that the party and its candidate and the plat
| form all agree in favor of a tariff ''for reve-
nue. only"
From this position there can be no escape.
The following, from the New York Herald
democratic, tells the whole story:
1.-The plain truth is that the republican
| party is the defender of the present tariff.
1t enacted it and it stands by it; if it is con-
| tinued in power, it will defend and continue
it. The democratic party is opposed to this
| tariff
From all this it must needs follow that no
working man in Maine can vote for tariff
''for revenue only" and Hancock and not vote
to reduce his own wages.
You, farmers, are equally interested. The
present Protective Tariff protects your fields
and your forests against ruinous competi-
ton from those vast tracts of land lying
north east and west of you. Your hay,
wood, potatoes, lumber and stock are all pro-
tected. A tariff ''for revenue only" would
disastriously effect them all. Are you pre-

JAMES A. GARFIELD
OF OHIO.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
OF NEW YORK.
Every Electoral Vote Needed.

Every republican must keep III mind
that bare republican majority Of the
electoral vote will not be sufficient to
make certain the election OF Garfield and
Arthur. 1t has been known for some time
that the democrats intend to take advan-
tage of every means, fair or unfair, to de-
feat Garfield in the count. If he has but
n meagre majority so much the easier tor
them to accomplish their purpose Bnt
If he has good-siZed majority the task
will be much more difficult, and the larger
the majority the greater the difficulty will
be-
We are warned by the excitement which
attended the count Of the vote in 1876 OF
the danger that a dispute of this kind car
ries with it. II inflames the whole coun-
try 80 that the public mind is prepared for
resistance and even violence against what
may seem to be an injustice and wrong.
If we would avoid this great danger we
must make the majority for Garfield and
Arthur so large that disputing their cleo
ton will be an impossibility. A close
vote will pretty surely lead to trouble.
A decided majority will rs certainly pre-
vent difficulty.
The electoral vote of Maine should be
carried tor Garfield and Arthur at what
ever sacrifice may be required. even
though we were quite certain that we
would have a majority without ia fact,
however, which cannot be positively
known until after election. Every vote
additional to a majority which they may
receive will help to Il fair count and tend
to preserve peace and harmony in the
country. We want no more Electoral
Commissions. We want no Garcelony
attempted at the national capital. We
can certainly defeat any approach to it if
we have a majority for Garfield and Ar
thur that the democrats will rot dare dis
pute.
1T is not mere superstition that the dem
ocrats contemplate the stealing of the
Presidency. 1t was known months ago
that such was their intention, and evidence
has since accumulated showing that they
still have the same purpose.
In consideration of this state of things
il would be wise for those greenbackers
in Maine who are opposed to Hancock to
vote direct for the republican electors.
The straight greenback ticket being OPP
posed by Plasted, Murch and Ladd and
all the power the democracy can WELD
will be beaten. But its friends can make
an effectual opposition to fusion by sup
porting the Garfield and Arthur electoral
ticket; and they will at the same time aid
to ward off the danger which will inevi-
tably attend close vote and disputed
count for the Presidency.
