persuade the n ms of the United States
that they are bbri by a protective tariff,
and the effd i thus maded to con

interest. he see thOt the agricultural
States have made even more rapid progress
than the Sangfacturing States. In these
eXtraordiil developments, the farmers see
the hopefl impulse of a home market, and
they see bat the financial and revenue
system. Il hetei since the Republican party
came intd3 power, has established and con-
stantly Il banded the home market. They
see that : Yen in the case of wheat, which is
Dur chief cereal export, they have sold, in
The averf ee Of the years since the close of
the wal, three bushels at home to n they
have SOD abroad, and that i'm the case of
corn. the only other cereal which we export
to any extent, 100 bushels have been used al
home to three and a half bushels exported.
In some years the disparity has been 50 great
that for every peek Of corn exported 100
bushels have been consumed i'm the home
market. The farmers see that i'm the
increasing competition from the grain fields
of Russia and from the distant plains Of
India. the growth OF the home market be- |
comes daily OF greater concern tn them and
that its impairment would depreciate the
value OF every acre of tillabIe land

relations, Blaine is rather temperate in his
remarks, nothing Of q bellieOse nature APP

while q growing cordiality warns the South

that between the two sections conf
dence and esteem are to-day more marked
than at any period in the sixty
Years preceding the election Of Presi-
lent Lincoln? This Is the result in
part Of time and in part Of Republican
principles applied under the favorable con
