at ? 80 O'Clock
At New Haven Mr. Blaine made the following
address:
There has been placed in my hands since my
arrival in New Haven an address from the cier-
men in this city expressing their confidence, aud
through the person who delivered IL the assur-
ance that in matters OF public right. In matters

answer in the arst place Is that they put in my
mouth an unfortunate expression OF another
man and In the next place il gives me oppor-
tunity 10 say, at the close Of the campaign. that
in the public speeches which / have
made have refrained carefully and instinctively
from making any dsrespectful allusion 10 the
Democratic party profoundly on matters Of prin-
ciple, but have too much respect for the NIL
lions OF my countrymen whom Il embraces 20
assail IL with epthets or abuse. In the next
place am sure that am the last man in the
United States who would make n disrespectful
allusion TO another mans religion The United

and before the law and under the con-
stituuon the Protestant, and the Catholic.
and the Hebrew sts.d entitled 10 absolutely
the same recognition and the same protection.
And il respectful allusion is here 10 be made
toward the religion Of many, as / have said. am
the last TO make II, for though Protestant by
conviction, and connected with a Protestant
church, should esteem myself OF all men the
most degraded if under any pressure or under
any temptation, / could IN any presence make a
disrespectful allusion 20 that ancient faith in
which my reverend mother lived aud died. The
question now before the people Of the United
states, j. not religious one. The question %
be settled in this campaign is one that comes
home 10 the doorsill and the Preside OF every
American citizen. We have enjoyed in this
country for the past twenty-three years the ad-
| vantage OF a protective tariff. There Is not q
man within the sound Of my voice, there i not a
man in Connecticut, there il not a man In New
England, there IL not q man In the United states
who is not directly or indirectly interested in the
protective tariff. l see before me large assem-
blage, intending doubtless many who
earn their bread in the sweat
OF their faces, and 10 whom the daily wages OF
labor is a great consequence. / beg 10 remind
them that the only agency which secures them
higher wages for their labor than a man in the
British isles receives for the same labor, is the
protective tariff. When l look abroad In this
state, and when examine your statistics, find
that Connecticut has doubled its wealth in the
last twenty years, and submit that that rapid
rate of increase in thrift, independence and pro-
gress is direct result Of the protective tariff.
SO that every nan, whether he be capitalist or
a la5orer, whether he be manufacturer or opera
tive, finds that the question Of protecting Amer
lean industry enters into the warp and wool OF
nothing il IL is not protective. In is a cardinal
doctrine in the creed OF the Republican party
that protective tariff shall be maintained. And
Il Inns been the invariable practice OF the Demo
cratic party In congress for more than fifty years
past 10 oppose the policy Of protection. Times
have been dull for some months past. Why
Clearly because OF the uncertainty created In the
business world by the agitation In congress last
winter Of the tariff question, aud the fact that
the Democratic party came within two votes OF

that in a larger degree than in any other cam

OF the sympathy ana support OF the great mass
OF the young men Of the country. and the young
men carry with them strength, confidence, and
the power 70 bear the burdens and the power to
give encouragement 10 others. The Republican
party began its existence thirty years
ago with the support of the young men.
Twenty-eight years ago. before many who now
