BLAINEs LAST SPEECH.
Free Trade In England and Protection Ii
This Country.

Free Trade In England aud Protection In
This Country.
LEWISTON, MG., August 2S,-Mr. Blaine,
in his campaign address here yesterday,
advocated the policy Of protection as
against that OF free trade. Among other
things he said that we only needed to pro.
teCt those products which were brought
into competition with those Of other
nations. Numerous articles, like tea and
coffee, which we could not produce in our
climate, WerO not taxed and were placed
on the FREQ list. This was absolute free
trade, and the United States has 1t 10 q
degree never known in any government
since government was known among men.
England has no free trade with h6r colo
nies. They tax her products. England
cannot export an article TO Canada with.
out its being taxed at the Custom house,
where all articles produced in any part OF
the United States are sent to every other
port FREQ OF duty.
There was more free trade In this than
could be found in the whole Continent Of
Europe. Therefore we combine the bene-
lis OF production from foreign competl-
ton with internal free trade. 1t would be
absurd to enlarge our free trade system 80
az to give foreigners aCCsss to it. Oneof the
sins the DemOcratiCp Cparty yconsistsint their
Willingness to expose our workingmen to

day getting one-hall the wages Of Ameri.
can labor.
Mr.. Blaine then proceeded to speak Of
tho important matters which depended on
the result Of the approaching election in
this State. His attention having been
called to the circulars distributed among
the audience by the Prohibitionists, he
reatIirmed the position he had previously
taken in his speeches OF this week in re-
gard to a national whisky tax. He closed
with warm words OF iCommendaton for MIR.
Dingley, the candidate for reelection TO
Congress, and for Mr.. Bodwell for Gov.
ernor.

Classmates


1t WA the Result OF Natura Causes
Resolutions OF Regard by Forme.
Classmates.
By wire from Centreyille last evening
we received information concerning
Miss Dora Simerson's reported suicide
which will be more pleasant tor her
Yankton friends to think about. The
inquiry which followedAher death re-
vea,ed the fact that no poison had been
used and that death resulted from heart
disease. Miss Simerson was visiting
relatives in Centreville, u family OF
Baxters, where she died. From her
actions before she left Yankton the
opinion was given from the first, by her
friends that there must have been some
mistake, as she ~endeavored severa!
times to have a young lady friend in
Yankton accompany her to Parker for 9
visit and seemed quite disappointed that
che could not go.
REVOLUTIONS OF REGARD.
The pupils of Taylor's commercial col
lege adopted the following resolutions
WHEREAS, Miss Dora r. Simerson
has been u very worthy member OF our
school for the past two and one-halt
months and by her uniform kindness,
lady Ike behavior, industriou habits
and excellent attainment in her studles
Las thoroughly ingratiated herself in
our high esteem; therefore
ResolgeG, That her sudden and unex-
posted death has caused us deep grief;
and
ReSo}ged, That as an evidence Of our
high respect for our late companion and
deep sympathy with her parents and
relatives we. as d school, drspe the chair
formerly occupied by Dora Il, Simerson
with Grape md then formally adjourn
