one great question In single Presidential
election. There may be other issues but
there is always one that leads and in the
end absorbs popular attention. This issue
in 1884 is the question OF protective tariff on
our side against free trade on the other side.
Some Republicans in the State OF New York
have left us because they are free traders.
They have acted wisely. GLaughter.l II
they want free trade the proper thing for
them to do is to join the Democratic. party,
but for those who want protective tariff con
tinued the proper thing for them Is to adhere
to the Republican party. tcheers.l Any

Republican party. On the other hand any
man who has decided views In ia
yor of free trade will better carry
out these views by joining the Democratic
party wsni bs to be yeTy rsnk snk WIKI Win

ELMIRA, NY, Oct. 27--Arrivinga at this city,
Blaine began his speech, saying that as Ale
gheny county had strong claims to be re-
garded as the birthplace OF the Republican
County were especially bound to stand BY
the party In the pending contest Thel,
after remarkfng that the issues of the cam
paign had narrowed down to the one ques-
tion Of protection versus free trade. he called
the attention Of the farmers present to the
fact that in New York and Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, and other States the val
ues OF land had increased in proportion to
the development OF manufacturing indus
tries, This resulted from creating home
the farm went into the farmers pocket in
stead Of being eaten up In cost OF transpor-
tatiOn, as was necessarily the case where, be-
cause of lack Of demand at home, the farmer
had to depend on distant markets. There
fore as the development OF manufactures In
new country depended upon the protec-
tion of the tariff II was clear no man In the
community was more interested than the
farmer i4 maintaining the protection policy.
81 remember the time" said Blaine, when
Gov Ribner, of my native state, was laughed
at by the Democrats because he predicted
that the day would come when the farmers
in the rich valleys of Pennsylvania would
be unable to supply breadstuffs and provis.
ions for the miners In her mountains and
operatives in her factories. Yet the state OF
things he then predicted has been history
for many years, and the same Is true Of New
York, and In both States II has resulted from
the benehcent operation OF protective tariff.
