HAMILTON co., Oct. The special
train conveying Mr.. Blaine and party
made few stops between Dayton and
THIS city. At 5:22 the train arrived at
Hamilton. Here Mr. Blaine and party
were driven through town 10 a stand in
front Of the Court House. where there
was gathering of many thousands.
CINCINNATI. Oct. AT the Hamilton
meeting Hon. II. l.. Morey introduced
Mr.. b,aiue as the most distinguished
representative OF the American flag
The great crowd cheered heartily and
repeatedly. When order was restored
Blaine said:
years since she question of a protective
tariff engaged the attention of the
American people as profoundly as IL
tween Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Polk, in 1874.
that the great National debate on the
question took place and the protective
tariff was defeated, not by the popular
vote, but by tie bad faith of the party
which succeeded in the election. aud l
beg to call the attention of your large
manufacturing population to the fact
that tbs policy of protecting American
industry has never been defeated in the
United States by the popular vote.
Great cheering A contrary policy
has been forced on the people at differ
ens times through the Dad faith of their
representatives but never, | repeat, by
popular vote upon deliberate appeal
20 the people IN their primary capacity.
lCaeering.J 1t would therefore seem to
be tine duty of the people of the United
states. II by majority they believe in
the policy of protection, to See to it
that the party is sustained which can
be trusted TO uphold it. T"Go1d
good aud cheers, Yes, hut" said
gentleman to nIe yesterday, "pro-
lection does not always secure
abundant prosperity. There are great
Macy idle men now in the COUNTRY"
Well, grant it. There never vet has
been policy devised by the art of man
that will insure through all times and
seasons a continuous how of prosperity;
bat the question Is whether in a given
series of years before, there has not |
been larger degree of prosperity to the |
people under the policy of protection |
than under the policy Of free trade. The |
question is to be gagged and tested not |
by the experience of a single year, but |
by the experience of series o. years. |
We have had protective tariff now for |
more than two decades, and | ask you |
whether there has ever been another |
period in which the United States has |
made such progress as during the |
last twenty years :" Never ~
But it is true, new and then. that there |
will come little lull and little re |
action in business. There will come a |
little lull and little reaction. even in |
the laws of nature. You had a great |
drouth IN OHIO this year, but you do |
not on that account VOW that you will |
have no more rain. Great cheering
On the contrary, you are more firmly |
persu AIDED that rain ia the only element |
that will restore fertility to your soil, |
verdure to your fields and richness to |
your crops. SO. in this little slough, |
this little dullness in the business of the |
country, one great element that can be |
relied on To restore prosperity is pro-
teotiye tariff. Renewed cheers. The |
question then 10 for Ohio to decide. |
Ga the l4ts day OF this month yon
will have an opportunity to say to
the people of the United States whether |
you believe IN that doctrine. IL you do,
YOU will secure not only its continuance |
bat its permanent triumph but if on |
the other band You should falter and |
fall back, II might produce disaster |
elsewhere. The responsibility is on
YOU. Is your courage equal to your re- |
spensibility a? Yes, yes. Is your con-
idence equal to your courage 1T is. |
il is" and cheers.l Then | have moth |
ing more to say, except 80 bid you good |
bye. Enthusiastic and prolonged |
cheering.
TIE train reached Cincinnati at $3.50 |
p. m.. when the usual demonstrations |
were made at the depot aud hotel, where |
Blaine spoke briefly. He said: ~ til INK |
you aud all the good people of Cincin
natl for this cordial, hearty and mag
uihcent reception" The crowd cheered |
again and again, as Mr.. Blaine retired |
into the hotel.
