Blaine on the Tariff.

In his letter of acceptance Mr..
Blaine places the tariff question fore
most. He says:
In enumerating the issues upon
which the Republican party appeals
for popular support the convention
has been singularly explicit and felic-
itous. 1t has properly given the lead
ing position to the Industrial interests
of the country as affected by the tariff
on imports. On that question the
two political parties are radically in
conflict. Almost the first act of the
Republicans when they came into
power in 1861 was the establishment
ofthe principle of protection to Amer.
lean labor and to American capital.
This principle the Republican party
has ever since steadily maintained,
while on the other hand the Demo-
cratic party In Congress has for fifty
years persistently warred upon it.
Twice within that period our oppo-
nents have destroyed tariffs arranged
for protection, and since the close Of
the civil war. whenever they have
controlled the House of Representa-

The Working Men Against Cleveland

At meeting of the Federation of
Labor Unions, in Washington, July
10th, the following preamble and res
olutions were adopted by those who
intend to boycott Cleveland at the
polls in November next:
Whereas, Stephen Grover Cleve-
land is candidate for President of
the United and
Whereas, The said Stephen Grover
Cleveland has shown himself to be
bitter enemy to the workingmen and
the Workingmen's interests, mas.
much as he has used the power tacci-
IDENTIFY acquired by him) of vetOing
all the bills which the Workingmen
have for years been trying to have
enacted into laws in the State of New
York, as follows:
/. A bill to reduce the number of
hours of work for street car drivers
and conductors from seventeen to
twelve hours per day. Vetoed by
Stephen Grover Cleveland.
2. A bill to prohibit the employing
of children under thirteen years ofage
in any mill or factory in the State
of New York. Vetoed by Stephen
Grover Cleveland.
8. A bill to make the wives and
children of workmen and all others
to ride on the elevated railroad for
| FIVE cents fare. Vetoed by Stephen
Grover Cleveland.
4. A bill called a Mechanics Lien
law. to prevent sWindlers from rob.
hing WOrkmen out of their hard
earned wages. Vetoed by Stephen
Grover Cleveland.
s. A bill to prohibit infection and
disease from spreading throughout
the community by fOrbiddiDg the
manufacture of cigars in any room
used as an eating, sleeping and work
room, one room for all purposes, thus
placing in the mouths Of all smokers
of low priced cigars the seeds of what
ever disease may be prevailing in such
places. Vetoed by Stephen Grover
Cleveland.
Therefore it be.
Resolved, That the working men of
the United States have too much at
stake to trust the power of vetOing
such bills AS the Eight Hour law, and
the till to prevent the importation of
foreign contract labor. and the bill to
abolish prison contract labor, and the
bill to forfeit all unearned grants of
land made to railroad corporations in
the hands Of Stephen Grover Cleve-
land.
ResoiUed, That we shall aid in every
honorable way to defeat the vassal of

with the competent representatives
of other States. He possesses a bright
active mind; ready and willing
tongue; is always affable and courte.
Gus; is always prepared to give yes
or no for an answer, and has the
"snap" in him sufficient to defend
the rights of all of his constituents.
In conclusion, let me say that if
the next Congressional convention
acts wisely, it will renOminate "our
little Mac" by reclamation, for it
will be but a just and well-deserved
compliment to true and faithful
public servant, who has been tried
and not found wanting, and one who,
in the opinion of the writer, has a
brilliant future before him.

The party is indebted to its candi'
date for the best campaign document
of the year. His letter cannot be too
widely circulated. Wherever it goes
1t will dissipate misapprehension,
correct errors, remove prejudices,
confute calumnies, and make votes.
1t is paper that does honor not only
10 its author, but to the free political
institutions of which he is the prod
uct, and the free people who are about
to confide to him their highest Office.

One Of Maryland'S Heroes.

1t has already been mentioned that
Commander Winfield Scott Schley
was Marylander and member of
a well-known family of that name.
He is the son of Mr.. John r. Schleyr
who was for many years q leading
member of the bar of Frederick coun-
ty. He died in this city about eight
years ago, and was buried in Freder-
lex, where he had lived so long. His
widow, Mrs. S. M. Schley, is now
with her daughter, living at No. 80
CORTLAND street, in this city, Both
are naturally proud of the heroic
achievements of Commander Schley,
and spoke yesterday with just adj
mlration ofhis gallant conduct. Mrs.
Schley said yesterday "Scott was
always fond of the sea from boyhoody
and never seemed at home upon land.
He loved his wife first, and his ship
next, ] remember hearing him say
the last time l saw him, On board
ship feel at home on land l feel as
if l was good tor nothing.' His faith
er was always, when boy, anxious
to enter the navy, but his father put
his foot down on it, and he never got
to sea. With his sons it was differ
ent, for three of them entered the ma
Wy. Scott was appointed to the Acad-
envy at Annapolis from Frederick by
Congressman Henry w. Hoffman,
and has been in the government SER
vice eyer since. He was very anx.
ious GOO this expedition, although
! he had meyer been in the Arctic re-
! giOn before, and he seemed to he con-
fident that he would find the Greedy
party. He did not, however, expect
Ito find them as soon as he did, but
told us to look for him in October.
He is, therefore, home several months
ahead of time. We hope 10 see him
soon, His wife is Mrs. Mamie Frank
lin, daughter OfMr. George r, Frank
lin, of Annapolis. They have three
children. Scott is very fond of his
family, man of very pleasant and
amiable character, always in good
humor, and never out of temper.
His success is, Of course, matter Of
great pride to all his family"
Commander Sciley graduated at
the Naval Academy in 1859, and
went to Japan with Commander Nc
Kean. He was promoted to master
in 1861 and was attached to the frig-
ate Potomac, storeship at Ship
Island, in 1862 to the gunboat, VII

battery near Port Hudson, La, De-
cember IA, 1862. He was also in all
capture Of Port Hudson from March
16 to July 8, 1868, and in one or two
small .skirmishes in cutting out
schooners. He was commissioned as
! lieutenant on July Is, 1862. and from
1864 to 1866 was stationed on the
Wateree, of the Pacific Squadron.
On July 25, 1866, he was commission
ed lieutenant commander. He was
placed at the Naval Academy from
1867 to 1869 then was transferred to
the Benicia, Of the Asiatie feet then
back again to the Naval Academy
during lS73-1S76. He was commits
stoned commander June 10. 1874.
from which time he had charge of the
Essex, of the South American station,
until 1873. Commander Schley has
never been on the sick list since he
