AT JACKSONVILLE.
LANCASTER, o, Oct. 11.-At Nesonyillc, the
centre OF the mining district in the Hooking val
ley. MF. Blaine made the following speech
IF ! am az home anywhere it is in a coal
region. was born and brought up in a coal re-
gion. in the valley Of the Monongahela, and
know something about coal l have been an
owner OF coal lands nearly all my adult life and
the greater part of what little property have
! in this world IS in coal lands. { have been TO
some extent engaged in the mining of coal. l
am now Interested Is "a stOckhuGer and adirector
in a company in West Virginia. Ihaye had twenty
seven years experience in connection with the
. =
be good fortune that neither myself any COM
| Fany with which have been connected has ever
| had strike. quarrel, or dispute, trouble
| OF any kind, with any man. Further, have to
say that during the last eighteen months the
! company that / am connected with has been
able to pay on an average of about $50 a month
! 10 every one of the ECO men engaged. You see,
| therefore, thar am not talking aOout subject
! that do not understand. But while | acknowl-
! edge that am owner of coal lands in Pennsyl-
! vanil aud in West virginia, / am kindly assured
/ By number Of Democrats in Ohio that | own
also large tract Of coal land in the Kentucky
Valley Now i think that when q man
/ has property attributed to him which he PRO-
/ tests that ne does not own, and when the other
parties insist thar he does own il they ought to
I DE compelled by Jaw to make II good TO him.
! They say that am 4 large holder in the Hooking
valley syndicate. say that do not own 4 sin
| gle share. They say again that do. Lcathem
I come into court then ana make the ownership
| good to me. II could bring them into court on
/ that issue and under the rule suggested / could
! bankrupt a great many Democratic editors and
/ speakers who insist that | own property that /
/ never did own. understand that
the miners in this region have
had some trouble with the operators. and our
political opponents say that | am one OF the ope-
! ratOrs. As ] said while ago, have never had
! any trouble with the men employed in the mines
\ in which / am interested, and never expect to
] have any. because II / cannot coatinuc the bust
/ ness without difficulties of that kind / shall
/ abandon IT, I think there is no disagreement
that ever arises between an employer and the
! men he employs that ought not to be settled BY
/ 4 fair. impartial arbitration, and think the man
! who Is not willing 10 submit such d matter TO ar
! bitration ought to explain to the public why he
Is unwilling 10 do il. But because you are in
temporary trouble why should you turn your
I backs on the great protective system which for
! twenty years has promoted and secured the de-
| vclOpment OF your valley: AIe you going TO
remedy your troubles in that way! Because you
cannot have the nigh tide OF prosperity all the
! time, do you, therefore. say that you viii have
/ the low tide Of adversely: In this world we have
/ 10 take little bit OF lean with the fat You
cannot have II stream How down it, bed without
! having an eddy now and then. You canno; have
| the flood tide Of the ocean without the
corresponding ebb. These occasional disturbances
OF the even How of prosperity seem 10 be newt
/ able. You want 20 get rid Of them Of course,
/ but the parties concerned should deal with each
| other in patient aud cOnciatory spirit, and in
! your anxiety 10 remedy these passing troubles
you should not think Of tearing away the very
| foundation on which the prosperity OF your slate
I and Of the whole country rests. ! appeal TO you
! as workingmcn, as miners, because IL the pro-
teciive tariff is not good for the coal and iron
interests, it Is not good FOR ANYTHING. II it does
not develope these it does rot develOpe any
/ thing. And II the protective tariff were repealed
! tomorrow these hills would be again
wrapt in the silence and desertIon in
which they rested during the twenty-five years
preceding the enactment of the protective tariff.
/ Bat on the other hand, il the protective tariff is
maintained have fEll faith that your troubles
/ Will soon be adjusted, and that new era of pros
/ perity will dawn upon You"

interested in the union fuTnace?''
| Mr. Blainc-''No not 20 the extent Of a single
| penny. viii make it stronger than that
/ never owned any interest in any iron furnace in
! Ohio or any where else in the civilized world. l
never was engaged in the iron business at all,
! but have been engaged in the coal business,
! and large portion Of the property own is in
vested in coal to-day. ! AN interested with you
/ in this matter. II the coal business breaks
/ down in Ohio Il cannot be maintained IN Penn
I syivania or West Virginia We eli stand or fall

/ declaration Of independence some one said
I TO old DIR. WitheTspoon: ''Weli, We must hang
/ together" Yes" said he ssTf we do not
] George III viii see TO It that hang sepa-
/ rsteiy." SO. my friends engaged in the coal in
drstry, il we do not staud together we shall fall
/ together. thank you for the very kind recep-
I ton you have given me, and / leave yoE in the
hope and expectation that We shall soon have
