Mr.. Reed then described the dilatory mo-
tions of the Democrats to prevent the oecl-
sions of the election cases, described the case
of Mackey and O'Connor and closed with an
earnest appeal for individual work. The WORK
to be effectual in this campaign must, he sald'
be done not on the platform bnt by the men IN
the seats. Unless there be a revival in the
d WIS, it is not much use to have one IN tho
pulpit.
The Hon. George B. Loring was then intro
duced and was greeted with prolonged ap-
plause. Dr. Loring said:
SPEECH OF HON GEORGE b. LoRING.
I am here as a close observer of the political
affairs of the State of Maine, knowing as 40
that with you must rest to large degree tno
political complexion of the next House. l can
not keep in mind all the little incidents OF your
political history, and cannot recall the exact
causes that led you to place the command Oh
your State in the hands of General Chamber
lain: nor can recall the details of the ilttie
troubles between your present Governor anu
his Council. | come from the old State Oh
Massachusetts, where due courtesy is observed
from one co ordinate branch of the
Government to another where, il the
law says the Governor shall submit
question to the Council he submits it. Inc
State of Maine is the youngest daughter Oh OF
Massachusetts, (Applsnse) We remember IL
home of George Evans, your Websterian Sena-
tor, as the home of 8 Vice President OF the
United States, as the home of William Pltt
Fessenden, (applause); as the home of the bril-
liant Secretary of State, whom you delight 10
honor James G. Blaine, Cloud spplause) ana
we remember it as the home vf your young ana
growing Senators, and we thank the Republic
crn party here for placing Messrs. Frye ana
Hale where they are. But we haveiemember-
cd this city of Portland as the home OF the
young and brilliant DICTATOR, who always shoots
his arrows at the weakest points, and who, II
there is joint in the armor of his opponent
always finds it. (Applause) We recall TINS
State also az the State that gave to Lincoln ana
Hannibal Hamlin majority of 10000, and
that gave clean 40e0 majority to Garfield ana
Arthur. This is what we remember the State
of Maine for, and such being the case, you can
not expect us to take much interest IN the
statement that Bill Brown or Tom Jones is
suffering at the hands of the Republican party
here. Qaughter)
Dr. Lorng here referred to the fact that ten
years ago he opened the campaign in Portland
for Grant and Wilson, and he congratulated
his hearers that the great questions OF that
hour have been settled, and wisely settled, by
the Republican party. The questions attend
ing reconstruction have all become matters OF
history, and that, too, without the shedding OF
blood. The financial questions were unset
tied, the cry was for an irredeemab.e paper
currency, but the Republicans adopted the old
Jeffersonian motto, "The payment OF every
public obligation, and paid the debts orre-
funded them at 81 and per cent rate OF III
terest The Republicans were resolved that so
long as there must be bonds these bonds should
be the best in the world. (Applause)
Then the imports exceeded the exports, and
the balance of trade was against u.s. Ihere
was perfect rage for foreign goods. In our
section people were not contsnt with native
wines even; they wanted a foreign article.
Governor Perham, now was it in this State!
Governor Perham: ga few of them did
here') A few then here (aughter), good
many elsewhere. But it was suddenly discoy-
cred that there was element at work that
was changing the balance of trade until 1t vas
more than $4,000 900 in our favor. 1t was
the fact that the farmer was at work, and out
OF the $500, 100000 of our exports, more than
$625 900 600 comes from the class must be al
say something, even as you, sir ito Mr.. heed),
spoke in favor of the lawyers (Laughter)
You praised them for for-I can't remember
what lor. (Mr. Reed: Their lamb-like quail
ties" Laughter.) Exactly, and will praise
our farmers for their industrious qualities
(Applause.)
Why is It that the Democrats hate the banks
so? Can any one tell? The bands are neces-
sary and as much entitled to profession as the
government itself (Applause) And Why is
it that sensible men, such as you and l know,
will allow themselves to be led away by dema-
gogues on this question? | thank God that
either the lack of quorum, or the veto OF
Republican President has interieared to pre-
vent aud avert financial crisis Without
capital how long would the great farms OF Ken
lucky operate? Without capital how long
would the manufactures of Massachusetts re
main open? Of how much value be the rich
est of our mines, were the Democratic IMAM
cial system to be adopted.
The present financial system does not make
s'the poor poorer, and the rich richer" it does
riu vas IN IL
nifty. There is no county on earth that offers
to the industrious man such advantages as this
country offers to him.
The Golden Club of England undertook to
tell the people OF the West year or two ago
that they were being taxed $3.50 600, 900 a rear
to keep the machinery of the East in motion,
but upon investigation the speaker said he
found that 80 per cent of all the products OF
the farms of the count-y-cotton and TOBACCO
excluded, were sold and used in this country,
while the things the farmer needs can be
bought in Portland or New York; in st. Louis
or Chicago cheaper than in London or VAN
chester The people of the United States said
when James A. Garfield was elected, Let
there be a stop put to this talk OF Tree trade.
(ADplause) What a vast advance has been
made in manufacturing within the past sixty
years Then the cloth was made in the little
rooms of the farm houses all over the country.
Now the value OF the wooden products Is S6O
100000 year, of cotton the cotton $25O,0oO,OOO

employed, the result of protection to Ameri-
can traffic. Look at the lumber traffic;
how it has grown since [ can remember
suppose ! am the youngest man in the hall
here, except that boy asleep there. Q1augh-
ter) Then Bangor, Maine, was the Ultima
Thule, the very uttermost limit of the bust
ness, now there is business of more than
1922, 0O0, 900 per year, paving to those employed
in it more that $30,900,000 per year. Take
the business of manufacturing shoes, the
travelling shoe marker who went from house to
house, and fashioned boots that it took three
years to grow to, has given place to the vast
factories where single man can make 4OO
pairs OF shoes in day.
DR.. LoIiDg then read letter that he wrote
to the Hon. G. A. Boutelle in regard to the
tariff on hay. showing that the farmers OF
Maine were threatened with serious loss, owing
to importation of hay from the provinces and
''that dagger said DR.. Loring, "was sverted
by the action of Gov. Dingley in Congress and
the efforts OF Capt Boutelle here
DIR. Loring closed BY reminding his hearers
that the election will not be fight over laud
issues, it is q national contest, and Name has
always stood by the flag 1t is q contest for
the financial honor of the nation, and 1t will
be victory preparation to greater victory In
1884. Let us not be disappointed in you, but
find when the election is over that this State
is ''the Star that never sits.
