THE RESULT IN MAINE.

Democratic predictions to the con
trary, Maine has returned a handsome
Republican majority. The attempt OF
Democratic newspapers to befttle it are
as amusing as the result is emphatic.
One journal insists that the majority
should have been twenty thousand,
while that abortive bourbon accessory,
the New York Times, declares that the
result was just what everybody expect
ed. and that the majority is a dlsap-
pointment to Republicans. But no.
body will be deceived by such twaddle'
Now the fact is that Maine has been a
close state for the past eight years.
The "greenback craze" took firm
hold upon her voters, and for a few
years practically wiped the Democratic
party out of existence, while it also
drew largely upon the strength Of the
Republican party. The vote for gov
ernor at the last five elections was as
follows:

THE CAMPAIGN WING.

THE WHIG will earnestly advocate the
election of Blaine and Logan, and by
every legitimate argument en1eavor to
create sentiment in their favor. 1t will
not confine it's appeals to electors to the
narrow grounds upon which partisans
expect to reap individual profit by their
success, but upon the higher and broader
groupds-that the highest interests of
the country will be best subserved by
their election.
From this time until November its
columns will contain all political news of
Importance, and that the people of Cecil
and adjoining counties may have within
their reach complete and reliable
weekly compendium of political events
as they transpire, it will be mailed, post
age prepaid, to any address from this
date to the Presidential election, a period
of five months, at the nominal price of
50 cents. Order it at once, and after
reading it hand it to your neighbor.

With these figures before him, will
any intelligent man assert that plural
ity of 10000 votes just cast for Robe,
the Republican candidate for governor,
with a total vote 1000 larger than at
any previous gubernatorial election, IS
not an emphatic Republican triumph
The fact is that the result in Maine
must convince Democratic managers,
if they have the slightest sasaclty, that
the campaign of traduction and slam
der heretofore waged against MIR.
Blaine has failed to injure him. and II
they expect to make any substantial
Roadway in this Presidential contest
they must address themselves to the
intelligent sentiment of thepeople upon
the real issues of the CanvaSs-the tar
iff and taxation. And just here is the
real dilemma of the Democrats. They
dare not go squarely before the coun-
try on these issues. They advocate
free trade really, but are too cowardly
openly to avow it. 1t was upon that
issue that they have just been beaten
in Maine, and so they will be in every
state of the union, except in the Solid
South which they hold and control, by
denying the right Of a free ballot and
by terrorizing the colored voter. II
was the energetic preservation OF the
position of the Republican party upon
this great question Of protection O
American industries that constituted
the principle feature of the campaign
lust closed in Maine. The verdic
then attest the sourness of the RepuD
lican position. And the voters of ev
cry state in the union, which have
manufacturing interests to foster anc
protect, will in November render the
same verdict.

that they would be able to prove Blaine
to be an unpopular candidate, through
a reduced majority in his own state,

AGRICULTURAL LABOR AND
THE TARIFF.

One of our daily correspondents SEN
sibly remarks that: \ marked feature
of the benefits conferred upon labor by
the protective policy is seen in its eff
feet upon agricultural labor. By build
ing up a vast home market for the
farmer among the millions ofpeople en-
gagged in protected industries he has
not only been enabled to reap solid
profits from the sale of his farm pro-
ducts, but he has also been enabled to
gradually increase the compensation of
labor employed in cultivating his lands.
Fifty years ago the average wages of
the farm laborer were So per month,
with board. Twenty-Five years ago The
average had increased to about SI2,
and at present the average is $3.50
per month for the whole country, and
it is a significant fact that the farm Ia
borers' wages are highest in the manu-
featuring states and districts. In Ohio
in 1882 the average was Sass, while
in non manufacturing Kentucky it was
but $500. and in Ohio itself the aver
age wages of farm hands in the manu-
factucing, northern, portion Of the state
was $4,000 per month against Se2.05
in the more exclusively agricultural
counties of the eastern portion The
figures are more eloquent than words
in showing what the Republican party
has done for labor on the farm.
In its twenty-four years Of power the
Republican party has opened up the
resources of the whole country to the
laboring man. 1t has given him the
right to seek home in any part Of the
public domain. Ii has vastly enlarged
his field Of employment by building ap
great industries through its protection
of American manufacturers, and by the
same potent agency has at the same
time prevented the reduction of his
wages to the paupcr rates of Europe.
Its present interest IN labor IS fairly pre-
sented in the minority report of the
Republican members of the ways and
means committee of Congress upon the
Morrison tariff bill where the report
says:
We cannot too strongly emphasize
our opposition to any legislation which
even tends to reduce our labor to the
foreign standard, either in price or CON
dition. The maintenance of a fair and
adequate scale Of wages for American
workingmen is indispensable to their
comfort, their well being and the cdu-
cation of their families, essential to the
good order of our society, the stability
of our institutions, and the welfare and
progress of our country.

THE Democrats have been preparing
to prejudice the German voters of the
west against Mr.. Blaine by making it
appear that he was actively fostering
the prohibition amendment campaign
in Maine, but Mr.. Blaine is political
tactician of rare skill, and he has GER
tainly spoilt this device of his enemies
by taking occasion to say that he had
neither voted for nor against the amend
ment and that the liquor traffic was
not an issue of national politics, but a
matter that each community should reg
ulate for itself. 1t is not likely many
German Republicans will be scared off

The moral effect of the Republican
victory in Maine will be visibly felt by
both parties. Republicans who have
secretly been dismayed by Democratic
buster viii have their courage re-
freshed, and Democrats who have been
impressed by the preposterous claims
of their leaders will be discouraged. In
the results in Oregon, in Vermont, and
in Maine they will see the advance OF
the solid, unbroh en- Republican column
that has marched to victory over the
mangled body Of their poor old party
in every election since 1860.
