A BRIEF SPEECH
That Told Much, Delivered by Mr..
Blaine in New Haven.

New HAVEN, Nov. 2.
Mr.. Blaine and his party arrived at New
Haven at noon today. la the afternoon Mr..
Blaine spoke about ten minutes, saving
among other things: If Connecticut is rot
ready to defend the doctrine of protection
she must not expect other people to do it for
her. Cot neeticut is one of the States in this
union that is probably more largely benefited
by protection than any other State.
Referring to the government bonds depos-
ited in the national banks, he said find
there have been $50, ,O00. 900 loaned to ma
tional banks during the past month. | say
loaned to national banks, the pet banks.
while only four millions and half have
gone to pay the debts of the nation during
the past month. This is the most scanda-
lous transaction in the history of the nation.
don't charge corruption on the part of
the secretary nor that the banks are
corrupt, but have my suspicious. 1t was
very learned federal judge who said from
the bench that any fool can be taught to
reason but suspicion was divine. shall
continue to suspect that in this connection
a large fund has been contributed for the
election of Grover Cleveland and Allan G.
Thurman. | repeat it that out of this Co.
900 900 that has been loaned to banks with
out interest is large sum which has been
provided TO elect Cleveland. In conclusion
he said On Tuesday next the fate of pro-
lection IN this countr, is to be settled. If
the people of the United States don't uphold
this you will never make another rally on
this issue successfully. 1t is for Connecticut
and Connecticut voters to determine whether
that end shall be accomplished.
Blaine was then escorted TO the depot
where be took special train for Derby.

JOE HOwARDS REASONS
For Thinking that Gen. Harrison Will
Garry New York.

No newspaper correspondent is better
known than Joseph Howard. IL believe"
says Howard, that Harrison will be elect
ed. Why? Because | believe that New
York State will decide the result and that
Harrison will carry that State. Why? For
two reasons. First on account of the well
defined issue between protection and free
trade which Mr.. Cleveland made and which
the republicans hungrily and thankfully
snapped at. Bear in mind that this State,
in presidential elections at least, is so even
ly balanced that the change of 1000 votes
either way is liable to affect the result.
The republican managers have, through
speakers and documents, SO thoroughly in
structed the farmers and the voters generally
throughout the State upon this tar II ques
ton, that, Lot only will they hold their own,
but they will gain many votes, and instead of
coming to Harlan bridge with 60 600 to g.
600 plurality, Harrison will arrive there with
from $4,000 to 5000. My second reason
has its basis in what, for want of a more fe-
licitous name, is called the saloon republican
vote.
"This element is controlled by such pow
erful machine workers as Sheridan Shook,
Barney Biglin, Jake Hess and johnny
O'Bren as absolutely as | have direction
over the quarter of dollar which is in my
pocket. That vote, which these men eilly
possess is not less than 5000, and it will be
| polled for Hill for governor. But these
| republican machine managers will not
take upon themselves the odum of de-
feating the national ticket, AMI so that solid
batch will be traded for 5000 other votes in
| favor of Harrison. That, you see, means a
difference between Cleveland Harrison, ard
against the former, of 10000 votes. These
two considerations which have named will
elect Harrison.

AMERICAN FARMERS.
Why They Should Support a Protsc-
tive Tariff

From the Puyallup Valley in Washington
Territory, along our entire Canadian houn-
dairy TO the coast of Maine, and down the
coast 10 the Delaware river. a wide strip of
our territory will be invaded by foreign ag-
ricultural products 10 the ruin of the resident
American farmers, if Cleveland is reelected
with a democratic Congress at his back,
Notwithstanding the existing duties on
agricultural products, there is now great
trade thoroughly established in New York
and Boston in foreign potatoes, grain, hay,
hops, provisions, cabbages, onions, eggs,
peas, beans, berries, cherries and apples.
Apples? Yes, from Canada.
How can they be pro6tably imported; BY
buying them in northern Vermont close up
the boundary line. Strange to say, all the
Fameuse apples of Canada are grown just
half al inch south of that line and therefore
pay no duty. OF course Cleveland's secre-
tary of the treasury is ignorant of this inter-
esting genealogical fact, or blind to it.
Our published treasury statistics show that
in the fiscal year ending June, 1883, there
were imported into this country 1883, ,S5l
dozen eggs, valued at S2,Sl2, AIS; 100, ,269
tons of hay, valued at 1919, ,524; live ami
m ais raised on farms TO the value of SIS, ,006,-
SS3; breadstufs, including over half mil
lion bushels of wheat, TO the value of SS,-
.55,773; hops to the value of 81 ,0l7 1875;
provisions, including meats and dairy pro-
ducts, to the value of S2,0SS, ,s54 peas and
beans 10 the amount of l,9i2 $40 bushels
and the value of S2,l90,067; potatoes. s.
259 ,5SS bushels and TO the value of So, $685.
O2l. The total value of the agricultural
products imported from abroad into this
country last year was S29, ,043, ,544.
Every one of the articles enumerated paid
a duty. If under our tariff they can be
protitably imported, what will happen under
the Mills bill if it becomes law?
The American farmers in the belt define
ated will be utterly ruined.
As long as wages in Europe are one half
and one-third of what they ar, in the United
States, it will be impossible for our farmers
to compete with foreign farmers except un-
der the protection of a success of "A sufficient
tariff.
1t is unnecessary for me TO say that the
protection of the existing tariff is shamefully
insufficient Farmers, increase it by beating
Cleveland, aud doubling the duties on every
thing you produce-Samuei Wilkinson.

What the Solid South War Cost in
Labor

1t may be assumed that at minimum the
cost of suppressing the rebellion was S. ,000,-
900 600, it was, therefore, 81 .235 ,0O0, 900
year for seven years 1t has been held that the
maximum product of each occupied for gain
in 1880 could net have exceeded 5000 worth
labor and capital we're at least one-tbird
more effective during and since the year
1850 than during the period of war and re-
construction. If then we value one mans
labor from 1861 to 1865 inclusive at $500
year, the work of war
required the unremitting labor of 2,27O 900
men for several years. either in two armies
or in sustaining them. At S400 each, an es-
innate probably nearer to the mark at that
time, the measure would be the constant
work of 2 ,537 800 men each year for seven
years. The average population of that Pc
riod was $500 900, of whom not more than
one in five could be considered an able bodied
man OF arm bearing age. The cost of liber-
ty therefore consisted in actual arduous
work at the risk of life for seven years of
one man of arms-bearing age in every three.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
GOOD MARSHAL, GOOD CAPTAIN.
The Experience Deputy q. g. Marshal
Andrews Had With the Schooner
"Morelight"

PORTLAND, Nov. 3.
Deputy z. y. Marshal Andrews went to
Bath today to sell the schooner Sarah. lately
libelled and attached on account of collision
with the schooner Aorelight off Cape Por-
poise. The marshal had quite an experience
in the matter. The schooner lay at Winnie
gance, miles below Bath, when she was
attached and orders had been given to have
her towed her up to Bath, but the tugboats
were so scarce that 1t had not been done
When the marshal arrived in Bath the yes
sci was still at Winnegance and the sale had
to be made in Bath. The marshal finally
chartered Bootnbay steamer and towed
her up with quite party on board who went
to Winnegance for that purpose.
The steamer took the schooner in tow and
started back. They had not gone far when
the steamer stuck hard and fast on the flaIs.
The schooner, having too long tow line,
swung round and faced the steamer. The
steamer was fast aground and there was no
hopes of getting her off until food tide.
Then Marshal with such crew as he could
muster abandoned the steamer and boarded
the schooner, hoisted the sails and sailed
safely up TO Bath Then amid great cheer
ing the sale began and the schooner was sold
for Sl0)5 to Charles Maxwell of Bath.

"Old Hutch" as Sly, Deep Dog.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mr.. Towne of the Southern Pacific Rail
road knows hun and tells a story of old
times when he (Mr. Towne) was freight
manager of one of the railroads in Chicago
One day Old Hutch came in and said
How many freight cars have you ready
for use?"
"Not great nun mber, but"
'Well, there'll be a whacking lot wanted
for corn before long. I'd advise you to
make arrangements to have all you can
ready"
Mr. Towns made arrangements and had
all the cars he possibly could at the points
convenient. In the meantime the object of
Hutch's quiet visit had become known and
all the men in the Office put their little dibs
into a quiet speculation in corn. In few
days the cars were all wanted, but it was for
oats, and the corn speculation didn't come
off. Old Hutch was too sharp for them.

A QUIBBLB
That May Make Trouble Tuesday-Le-
gal Opinions.

New YORK, Nov. 2.
Can a voter who has reached the polls be-
fore o'clock but has been unable to have
his vote recorded by that hour legally cast
his ballot thereafter? The question has ex-
cited good deal of interest among the law
vers and politicians of New York The dis
cussion had it's origin with Attorney General
Tabor, published in democratic af fternoon
paper, in which that gentleman said
My opinion is that if a vo'er is at the polls
ready to vote at four o'clock, or whenever
the time for closing arrives, ne is entitled to
cast his ballot and have it counted, be-
lieve that the liberal and yet lawful con-
struction to put upon the passage is that
the words ''closing of the polls"
refers to the place, not to the ballot
boxes That is, the polls includes the place
and vicinity where the voting is carried on,
and those about the place ready to vote are
to be considered as within the polls; and
while the polls are to be considered closed
to those not there, those at hand should not
be prevented from depositing their votes.
Prominent lawyers characterized the opin-
ion as an exceedingly dangerous one at this
time and were unanimously of the opinion
that it could not be upheld by the terms of
the act.

FACTS ABOUT MURcHISoN.
He Wrote the Letter to West in Good
Faith.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 2.
The Times, the paper that first published
the Lord Sackville letter, publishes what the
editor claims are the real facts connected
with the Murchison- West CORES spondence.
The idea of writing the letter originated with
Murchison himself in the latter part of Au-
gust or early in September. He is repu-
table citizen of Pomana in this county and
of English parentage. Murchison said at
the outset that hi, object was not to perpe-
trate joke or crafty curiosity, but. to get
Vests opinion on the topics embraced in the
letter. Murchison's letter was dated Sept,
4th and Vests answer Sept. 18th.
Vests answer was kept month and then
brought to Los Angeles and placed before
w. p Fitzgerald, member of the State
republican committee, Henry G. Gage, dele
gate at large at the Chicago convention, Har-
rison Gray Otis, editor of the Los Angeles
Times, and one other local candidate. They
saw the Importance of the letter in the polit-
ical point of view, and it was unanimously
determined by the persons present to make
the letter public without delay, which was
done, the date of its first publication here
being Oct. 2l.

Connecticut Not Doubtful.

WATERBURY, Ct, Nov. ?.
The Waterbury Republican expresses the
opinion that Connecticut is not doubtful,
provided the full vote is polled. Since 1852
the State has gone republican in exery pres
idential year save in 1876 and 1884. In
1880 the republicans cast their largest vote,
81 013, and the result was plurality of 3
500 for Garfield -Four years ago the prohi-
bition vote was 2500, and the republican vote
fell OFF to 65,o93, Cleveland carrying the
State by 1884 The Republican looks for a
falling off in the prohibition vote this year
and the fullest vote on the part of repubii-
cans ever known. Under such conditions
Connecticut will go for Harrison.
