Senator FrYe's Boston Speech.

The merchants banquet in Boston Wednes-
day evening, Dee. 30. was a very brilliant affair
over three hundred gentlemen We're present
and speeches We're made by William b. Wood
President of the Association; Governor Robin
son, senator Edmunds of Vermont, Mayor
O'Bricn, Senator Evarts of New York. Collect
or Saton>talI, Senator Allison of Iowa. Senator
Frye of Maine, Congressman Findlay of Mary
land, ButterWorth of Ohio and Tucker of
Virginia. and Ex-Governor Rice. OF one of
the speakers the Boston journal saws When
senator Frye of Maine was announced an en-
thu>ia>tic atlmireraro>e and ELECTED three hearty
cheers for this popular and forcible speaker.
The one word which characterize> him and his
speech is force. He is strong alike in facial
and verbal expression, and strong also in his
conceptions and presentation Of arguments. At
times he spoke in the most imprisoned man
ncr, uttering with special force such sentences
a. "F0r Gods sake let the tariff aloner' We
quote as follows from Senator Fryc's remarks:
The merchants of Boston don't say free trade;
they know better Free trade will be the mil
lcnnium. But free trade is an utter absurdity
as long men work in India for eight cents
day and in tho United States for % day. 1t
is no use to talk about free trade SO long as we
must raise two hundred millions of dollars to
pay our interest and our pensions. 1t is all
folly to talk about free trade, because there is
no other resource except direct taxation, and
every man here knows that the party that re-
sorted to direct taxation would 20 out of exist
cnce i'll less than four wears from the time it
enacted it into law. But more practical men
say free raw materials, and today i'll the Con-
gress of the United States the whole talk is free
raw materials. Where is the alchemist who is
ask the farmer who raises the sheep, who pas
lures the sheep, who houses the sheep, who
feeds the sheep. who washes the sheep, who
shears the sheep, if he thinks that wool is raw
material. Laughter. If it is, why is not
wooden yarn raw material as well? Where are
you going to stop! Is pig iron a raw material:
Why is not bar iron raw material! Your man
who makes bar iron will say that pig iron is
raw material, and he will say that bar iron is "a
raw material, and again he will say that the iron
is a raw material, AMI the man who owns the
mine will say you are a fool. Laughter.
Again, England has absolutely free raw mater
ial. Is she any better off for it? Not only that
but she had wages not much over one half your
own wages. France has free raw materials,
and she has wages still less than English wages.
What is more | suppose that the greatest sllf-
fcring manufacture today in this republic is
absolutely free raw material in every yard of
cotton goods you make in this country. APP
plause. But my friends, there are some
others who are doctors. They say horizontal
reduction. Laughter. Familiar sound!
submit that the present tariff law of this coun-
try Is a. free from errors as any tariff law you
ever had in the history of this republic.

The Dexter Gazette keeps standing at the

'Notice to CAPITALISTS which reads as fol-
lows AT an annual March meeting of the
town of Dexter it was voted by the inhabi-
tants thereon that any person or persons in
vesting in any manufacturing industry in DeX-

exempt from taxation for a term of ten wears.
Dexter has good railroad connections and
plenty of power" The heads Of the inhabi-
tants who voted yes on this proposition were
level, and the Gazette is doing good service for
Dexter in keeping the matter before the pub
lie. The labor troubles in Massachusetts are
driving manufacturers out of that State and
many might be induced to come to Maine.
More manufacturers means more employment
for our people, the putting of more money in
circulation here, and better home market for
