The Roma, journal published by Ital-
ians in the Italian language in New York
city, and the principal organ of the Italian
Americans, comes out strongly in support of
the Republican candidates. 1t assures its
readers, as it has good reason to do, that the
policy of Mr.. Blaine if elected President will
tend to simplicity and reform at home, full
and effcacions protection of American citi-
zens abroad, and the protection of Ameri-
can industries and products. It says that
there is reason to hope with pride and conf
denee that the administration of James G..
Blaine will achieve some triumphs in the
foreign policy of the United States mot in
ferior to those even in the glorious DAYS
Marcy and Seward who always kept high the
prestige of the American flag in all parts of
the globe" 1t declares further that citizens
of Italian birth may rest assured that their
rights as Americans will be protected, and
especially against peril of CONSUMPTION and
military service in Italy, and that there will
be no second case like that of Felice Lago-
marsino of San Francisco. 1t maintains that
the Republican candidates are good friends
of Italy and of all citizens of the Latin
race, and concludes with an enthusiastic
"Evviva Giacomo Blaine Giovanni Lo-
gam" Long life to James Blaine and John
| Logan.

Mr.. Blaine's Letter.

@Mr. Blaine's letter accepting the nomina-
tIon Of the Republican party for the Office OF
President is longer than such letters usually
are, but 1t will be eagerly read by the people
of the country for all that After briefly ex-
pressing his sense of the honor and respon-
sibility involved in the candidacy he enters
at once upon full and clear expression of
his views on cardinal points of public policy.
Almost exactly one half of the letter, the
first half, Is devoted 10 an exhibition of the
advantages of the policy of fostering Ameri-
can industry by a protective tariff. The
argument does not deal with abstract
principles or theories of political economy;
but is a cogent and luminous presentation
of the practical results of the protective pol
icy in increasing the national wealth and
happiness. If any private or corporate bus
mess could present balance sheet showing
such success, nobody would think of ques-
tion:nq the wisdom of the methods en-
ployed.
The rapidity and certainty of the increase
of the national wealth since 1850, when the
Republican party came into power and insti-
tuted the policy of securing the American
market TO American enterprise and labor,
as the facts are set forth by Mr.. Blaine in
statistics compiled from the census tables,
will surprise those who are not already ac-
quainted with the figures. 1t is the demon
ssrslion Of experience, the argument from
results, and II win be conclusive with all
practical men. He 10 surely a reckless, not
10 say Ian uppatriotic, citizen who proposes
to experiment in annulling and reversing
the policy by which this astonishing pros
perity has been achieved. This is one of
those swell enough conditions which ough.
to be let alone. How this policy operates to
the advantage of every nterest,-foreign
and internal commerce, agriculture and The
employments which afford occupation and
livelihood to mechanics and laborers,s clear
" set forth. Whether or not it was SO be
fore, Mr.. Blaine has made the tariff the
prominent issue in the campaign.
The letter distinctly defines his views,
regarding the foreign, policy of this country,
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1884-07-19

and it will go far to put an end to the occu-
patton of the alarmists who have been so
diligently disseminating the idea that he
favors "jingo'' policy, and would seek an
opportunity for quarrels with other nations.
Nothing which he here says gives any
ground for the continuance of such repre-
sentation, and what he here says is not in
consistent with what he has previously said
and written. So far as it relates to nations
beyond the sea i. is in harmony with what
appears in his historical work, and so far as
it relates to the nations of this continent IL
is in harmony with the invitation to them to
unite in Peace Congress, sent out by him
while Secretary of State.
For large section of the Republican party
the paragraph treating of the civil service
will have special interest. What he says
about its general integrity and fidelity is de-
served. That is not the evil most complain.
ed Of But Mr.. Blaine appears to have
clear notion of the real evil, and we are glad
to see that he appears to have an equally
clear notion of the effectual remedy. elm
partiality in the mode of appointments TO be
based on qualification, and security of ten
ure to be based on faithful discharge of duty
are the two ends to be accomplished. The
public business will be aided by separating
the legislative branch of the government
from all control of appointments, aud
and the executive department will be
relieved by subjecting appointments to
fixed rules and thus removing them from
the caprice of favortism." That is sound
regarding both the ends aud the means
What he has to say further of the lessons of
his own experience in public life will have
the effect to assure the public that the opin-
ions quoted above are not formed for the oc-
casion.
With regard 10 questions of the currency.
What Mr.. Blaine says is good and troe, but
he omits to say one thing which we had
hoped he would say and which would have
supplied an omission in the platform. 1t is
| not sufficient that the relative values of gold
and silver should be established. They are
already so well established in the markets OF
civilized nations, that the variation in the
gold value of our standard silver dollars can
be quoted from day to day, and it is doubt
full whether they can be established so that
there would be no variation. The difficulty
| with our coinage is that while we use both
metals we make the dollar coined Of silver a
very much less valuable dollar than the
dollar coined of gold of standard weight and
fineness. That is the chief reason why it /:
not wanted in trade and is a useless currency
What We want is currency of which every
dollar is equal to every other dollar in
value; and this We could, if we would
accomplish substantially for ourselves
whether other nations consented or not. L
is practicable to coin an honest silver
dollar which the people will willingly &C
cept; but the present coin is cheat snt
nobody wants it.
These are the more important natter
treated ofin document which Republican
will esteem an uncommonly able statemen
OF political faith and purpose.

Republican County Convention.

The Republicans of Cumberland County are here
by requested to send deega es to a County Conven-
ton to be held at Reception Hall, City Building,
Portland, on Wednesday The sixth day of August,
1es4. at ten o'clock in the forenoon, to nominate
candidates tor the following offices to wit:
Four Senators, Sheriff, Judge and Registry of
Probate, County Attorney, County Treasurer.
Also to choose a County Committee for two years,
and do any other business which may properly
come before the Convention.
The basis of representation will be one delegate
for each city and town. and in addition for each
seventy-fys Republican votes cast for Governar at
the last State election and one de egate for frac-
ton of forty votes.
The delegates have been apportioned upon the
foregoing basis as follows:

Mr.. Benjamin Bunker, who was one of
the delegates to the Democratic convention
does not seem to be very well satisfied with
the platform. In his paper, the Fairfield
Journal, he says this week that Gen. Butler
In one short half-hour's speech succeeded
In showing to the country that the wordy
platform meant nothing more than bid for
the spoils." Neither does Mr.. Bunker seem
to be enthusiastic over the candidate who
he says has "no public record upon which
to base an opinion as to what his admins
tration would be-" Mr.. Bunker is said to
have behaved very well at the convention,
but he evidently reserved the light to dc
some kicking when he got back.
