JONES ON FREE TRADE.

John P. Jones in a speech in the
United States Senate, February 10Th,
1884, spoke Of Protection and Free
Trade as follows:
lam opposed to = free trade which
subjects the people of this country to
the very competition TO avoid which
either they themselves or their ancestors
underwent the hazards and hardships Of
migrating hither.
am opposed to free trade which
gives to foreigners all the advantages OF
this country without subjecting them to
any of its responsibilities.
l am opposed to free trade which
reduces the wages of the American
laborer to the level Of the poorest coun-
try in the world, whereas he is entitled
to such wages as would result from the
natural resources and wealth OF his own
country.
am opposed to free trade which
deprives any Of the people Of their full
share of the advantages OF living in
country, the soil Of which is fertile, and
large portions Of which are still open
to occupation, and lowers their condi.
ton to that OF old and worn.out coun-
tries, where the population is SO exces-
sive that its further increase is rendered
impossible by starvation and chronic
famine.
l am in favor OF free trade among our
own citizens, where the only comPeti-
ton is between persons whose standard
OF comfort is the same.
l am in favor OF protection because it
diversities industries, brings producers
and consumers nearer together, estab.
fishes just distribution Of the popula-
ton among different pursuits. and
enables US to escape the transportation
charges and other wastes Of foreign
trade, except as to the very few articles
to the production OF which this country
is not adapted but which we have ac-
quired the habit OF using
am in favor Of protection because it
tends to the elevation of the people, the
improvement OF machinery. and the ul-
innate cheapening OF products. whereas
free trade tends to cheaper the wages
rather than the products OF labor.
Protection cheapens products, while
free trade cheapens producers.
Prohibtive duties may be and are de.
bounced as ga Chinese wall" around
he country; but it is just such a wall
as we want-broad enough, high enough
and strong enough to keep for our own
enjoyment the prosperity and scale OF
comfort which properly belong to our
natural and acquired resources, and to
shut out the poverty and the products
of the scanty, pinching wages of less
favored countries.

HAWLEY AND STEVENS.
They Address . Large Audience
at silver City.

The Hon. J. P. Hawley and James A.
Stevens addressed large and enthusi-
astic audience at Silver City last Thurs
day night. BOnfires were burning, can
mons fired and grand time had in gen
eral. Mr.. Stevens was the first speaker
introduced and did his best TO make the
people understand that the Republican
ticket was the one they wanted tc vote
if they intended to win this Fall. BY
the applause he received SO frequently
it is believed that he succeeded in plac-
ing the matter before the people in such
manner that they could not but help
understand it. Mr.. Hawley made a
very interesting talk. 1t was solid and
there was nothing left unexplained in
regard to the tariff question. The
speaker is we'll posted in this matter
and conclusively proved it seems to us
that protective tariff must be had in
this country or we will at no far distant
day be in as bad fix as England and
other countries who through free trade
have made millions Of beggarS and pau
pers, at the close he gave some sound
advice TO the young men and cautioned
them not 10 60 the polls blindly but to
read the history Of both parties and
form an idea of their own about how
! they stand, then the chances are they
will be Republicans. Never give as an
excuse tor being Democrat that your
father was one and that the disease is
hereditary.

Bangor Whig and Courier.)
A Malicious Statement Refuted.

The following letter to the Boston Adver-
tiser, in which the writer voices the senti-
ment of Maine republicans, has been left
with US for publication
BANGOR, May 6, 1884.
Editor Boston Adrertiser:
The Bangor Commercial. of May 5th, inst
quotes from your paper the following remarks,
viz:
1T will not be one of the least advantages
of Mr. Blaine's coming and final defeat as a
Presidential candidate that Maine repubi-
cans who have been steady unbelievers in
Blaine republicanism, and who have been
held in bondage b, machinery of the most
ingenious and resistless sort, will have the
courage to throw of formal allegiance to a
rule which Mr.. Blaine has made so rigid
There will be sighs of relief in unexpected
quarters 10 that State when this favorite son
Is releaated to the company of unsuccessful
politicians"
The above malicious attack upon Mr.
Blaine and reflection upon the independence
and honesty of the republicans of Maine
could only have originated in ignorance and
vindictive political dishonesty. There is no
truth in your statements. nor foundation for
your insinuations. A business occupation
pursued for period of over 80 years has led
III
States and New York State, and everywhere
among the republican masses of these States
Mr.. Blaine Is held in higher esteem and con-
fdence than any other living statesman.
Your article above quoted is base libel
upon the republicans of Maine, many of
whom take your paper solely tor its value as
q mercantile and commercial journal. while
they regard your political utterances and
venomous assaults upon Mr.. Blaine as hostile
to republicauism as anything emansting from
the cheapest journals OF the democratic party,
for in asssiling foremost leader in the
republican party with such a following as
Mr.. Blaine has in all the States of our coun-
try, who, to say the least are peers in intelli-
geace, honesty and patriotism of Msssachu.
setts men. you strike blow at republicanism.
MIR. Blaine's support in Maine is voluntary
and cordial and not confined to the republican
party. There are many honest, Intelligent
and fair-minded democrats who admire Mr..
Blaine for his preeminent abilities, honesty,
statesmanship and Americanism and will vote
for him if>nominated as Presidential candi-
date.
In conclusion permit me to say that not
withstanding the spitefal opposition of the
rress Of Massachusetts, to Mr.. Blaine he has
been steadily growing in the confidence and
favor of the American people. and your
utterances regarding the attitude Of Maine
republicans towards Mr.. Blaine, voice the
prejudiced sentiments of some democratic
scribbler, or your own. Nothing short Of the
combined opposition of Mr.. Blaine's rivals in
his own party can prevent his nomination -
Presidential candidate. His candidacy Sc
cured the signs of the times indicate his tri-
umphant election.
