A Letter which Discusses the Situation in
an Able and Convincing Manner aud
Shows what has been Accomplished un-
der Republican Rule and Protection.
Augusta, Me-, July Is, 1SS4-The Hon.
John B. Henderson and others of the
committee, etc. Gentlemen: In accept.
ing the nomination for the presidency,
rendered me by the republican national
convention, I beg to expressa deep
sense of the honor which is conferred
and of the duty which is imposed. 1
venture to accompany the acceptance
with some observations upon the ques.
tions involved in the contest-questions,
which may affect the future of the na.
ton favorably or unfavorably for long
series of years.
In enumerating the issues upon which
the republican party appeals for popu-
lar support, the convention has been
singularly exquisite and felicitous. It
has properly given the leading position
as to the industrial interests of the coun.
try as affected by the tariff on imports.
On that question the two political par
ties are radically in conflict. Almost the
first act of the republicans, when they
came in power in 1861, was the establish
ment of the principle of protection to
American labor and to American capital.
This principle the republican party has
ever since steadily maintained, while on
the other hand the democratic party in
congress has for fifty years persistently
warred upon it. Twice within that
period our opponents have destroyed
tariffs arranged for protection, and since
the close of the civil war, whenever they
have controlled the house of representa-
tives. hostile legislation has been at
tempted never more conspicuously than
in their principal measure at the late
session Of congress.
Revenue laws are in their very nature
subject to revision in order that they may
be adapted to the changes and modi6ca-
tions of trade. The republican party is
not contendlng for the permanency of
any particular statute. The issue be.
tween the two parties does not have
reference to any specific law. 1t is far
broader and far deeper. It involves a
principle of wide application and benif-
icent )innuence, against c theory which
we believe to be unsound in conception
and hurtful in practice. In the many
tariff revisions which have been neces-
sary for the past twenty-three years, or
which may hereafter become necessary,
the republican party has maintained and
will maintain the policy of protection to
American industry, while our opponents
insist upon o revision which practically
destroys that policy. The issue is thus
distinct, we'll defined and unavoidable
The coming election may determine the
fate of protection for o generation. The
overthrow of the policy means large
and permanent reduction in the wages
of the American laborer besides involv
ing the loss Of vast amounts Of American
capital invested in manufacturing enter
prises. The value of the present revenue
system to the people of the United
States is not matter of theory, and
l shall submit no argument to sustain il

Blaine's letter of acceptance is pub
lished and if anything were lacking to
convince the public that the republican
party had nominated the right man for
the presidency, this letter will supply
the deficiency. No document of SIM.
lar character since Lincoln's time exbib.
its SO thoroughly the great abilities and
finished craftsmanship of it's author, and
no citizen of the republic should neglect
to read it studiously. It deals with the
great issues of the day in manner at
once direct and plain; there is no ambi-
guity-no concealment-no avoidance of
any issue. Mr.. Blaine speaks boldly
and plainly and earnestly and impresses
his reader with the fact that he under
stands what he writes about. The letter
exhibits the wise and experienced states
man in the full enjoyment of abilities of
the highest order. It exhibits thor
ough practical knowledge of the condi-
tion of the government and Of the coun-
try; their capabilities, needs and glori-
GUS accomplishments. No American
will read the letter without
a feeling of pride that he is citizen of
the greatest nation on earth. The docu.
ment reveals the wonderful progress and
prosperity which the past twenty years
have witnessed on this continent; the
doctrine of protection to home industry
is ably sustained. The letter gives sub.
stantial encouragement to the working
man-it gives to every citizen who values
citizenship and loves his country, sub.
stantial encouragement, and in the treat.
ment of every topic it speaks positively
and plainly with no attempt at evasion
1t is unquestionably remarkably able
production. and it would seem that il
had in advance discouraged the opposi
tion, for the ablest of the
democracy, Mr.. Thurman. in his
recent speech at Columbus, though al
luding to the letter in q general way
takes especial pains to attempt no reply
but based his antagonism to republican
rule upon the fact that the party ha,
been in power quarter Of century
and it was time to turn the governmen
over to new hands.
This journal was not an advocate G
Mr.. Blaine's nomination; but it is nevel
theless proud of him as the candidate c
our party, and with his letter of accept
anoe as the ground plan of what hi
course will be when he shall come to th
presidential chair, we feel that in hi
success rests the continuance of til
grand achievements and wonderful pros
perlty which republicanism inaugurate
twenty years ago, and which has place
this nation and this country in the va
of all governments, and of every countl
on the face of the globe.

fnliadelphla Press.
The campaign has been full of the most
unfounded and INSCRIPTIONS fabrications
against Mr.. Blaine. No sooner is one lie
shattered than another is manufactured.
One of the latest is the charge that Mr..
Blaine had forced workmen on his mining
property in West Virginia to dig coal for for
ty cents per ton. This was a particularly
stupid story, for if it had been true it would
have struck, not him, but the democratic
managers, and, as it was not true, the refuta-
ton was so easy. Mr.. Blaine has no active
part in the management of the company. He
is director. and among the other directors
are William H. Barnum, the chairman of
the democratic national committee, and
Senator German, the chairman of the demo-
cratic executive committee. The president
of the company and the active manager is the
democratic Senator, II. G. Davis of West
virk inia who publishes letter stating that
the story has no foundation. The campaign
slanderers will have to try again.

At the State election in 1880, the repub-
licans were beaten at the polls. the oppo-
sition having majority of 651. That is
the election with the result OF which the
election returns next Monday should be
compared. If therefore the republicans
have any majority next Monday twill be
a gain. Il they have 10000 majority. as
we have no doubt they will. it will show
large and handsome gain. which Mr..
Blaine and his friends will be amply sat
isfed with and may be proud of.
1t is too much to expect to bound from
nothing up to 10000 or $4,000 republican
majority.in State carried by the opposi-
ton at several preceding elections. In
some great political couv ulsions such a
change might occur. but would be sur
prise under serene political skies and
among a people of steady habits and
convictions such as are found in Maine.
Let the republicans remember while
working with courage and faith, to do
their best in every city and town. aad roll
up the majority by the addition of every
vote possible. Bring every man to the
polls that will vote for Robe. See that
none are cheated with split and spurious
tickets and other devices, and that the
vote is fairly counted and declared.
