importance of united action on the par

BrAISE'~ rRIBFrE To sTEvESs
Nr. Blaine said Mr.. Chairman and
Fellow Citizens of Lancaster county 1t
is just thirty years ago this month since
had the pleasure of addressing Ian
caster County audience. Two illustriols
citizens of your county and city had then
reached the acme of their fame Mr..
Buchanan was the candidate Of a great
party for the Presidency of the United
States, and his most dreaded opponent in
the whole country Thaddeus Stevens
was his townsInan. II was my privilege
10 serve for many years in Congress with
Mr. Stevens: and desire here to testify
to my conviction that, for acuteness Of
intellest for breadth of comprehension.
for knowledge OF all the details of leg
islation and for the courage and compass
of craftsmanship, he had no equal in the
Congress Of tine United States. Fumnltu-
Gus cheering With my recollections of
what We then were as a people, I could
if would forbear contrasting our nation
al condition at that time with what il is
TODAY. Al that time this country was
struggling under Democratic policy
The preceding census showed that the
estimated total yalue Of property in the
United States amounted 10 - 7.GO0Qg0.000
Four wears later. upon the advent of the
Republican party 10 power in the nation,
the policy Of the Government was chang
ed. and. under the benign influence Of
wiser eounsel>. the value of property in
Me United States rapidly increased. until
to-day it Is admitted by the economists
Of both the great parties to exceed $50
000.O01.M0. The figures | have stated
may be taken as fairly indicative Of the
wealth of the country. in the first in
stance, under Free Trade.and in the other
under Protection. In the eventful revo-
luton 10 which refer, which changed
the industrial policy of the nation. the
voice ef Lancaster County, a. uttered by
her distinguished representative, was IN
fiuential In the Congress Of the United
States To degree which is beyond the
scope of my ability to state. 30 thai It Is
bnt proper that we Of New England and
the people of all other sections of the
country who seek to express their APP
probation of the worth of the public men
who instituted and maintained the Pro
tertive policy in the United States must
come first of all, to Pennsylvania as the
State 10 which our and their thanks are
eminently due, and of all spots in Penn
sylyania, We must come 10 the country
and city which hold the ashes Of Thad-
deus Stevens. lCheers-l
REPUBIoAN POLICY ATTACKED
My friends, the great policy Is on trial
before the peole of the United States, and
come from a Protection State 10 Pro
lection State and 10 the great agricultural
county of that State, with lis magnificent
majority, to remind You that that policy
Is in peril that it is attacked by the tire
mendous- power of National Admins
tration, and to ask that when the gallant
representative and embodiment of that
principal. General Beaver. shall come be-
fore you for your suffrages on the first
Tuesday of November, no, Lancaster
County Republican shall be found al
home. lAppiause,] A county that can
throw 10000 majority is always in dan
ger of not doing its full duty unless stir
red by some extraordinary excitement.
When We find ourselves girt about on all
sides by those who ordinarily think with
us and act with Us, IT Is difficult for us 70
realize that, outside Of aud beyond our
Own circle, in MANY portions Of this
Union, the enenIes of this great cause
are a. aetive and determined | beseech
yoa not to stand still on that November
3ay. nor TO allow yourself to he deceived
by false confidence that your votes are
not needed because yen feel assured Of
DnU majority for this gallant standard

but the fact is that, even, though acce,iit-
ing the strict construction advanced BY
that school. your election does present
most important nationl aspect When
you are about to elect twenty-eight rep

United States YOU are about 20 DO that
which affects not only the State but the
nation, and therefore, indirectly the state
of Main. 1t Is matter of great concern
TO the state Of Maine that yon elect the

local questions for YOU with which have
no concern, is in It's larger and grander
