BLAINE AT ADRIAN
A RINGING SPEECH BY THE MAINE
STATESMAN.

A Powerful and Convincing Argument I'm
Favor of Protection tn American Indus
tries-Clevelsnd and His Free Trade Idols
Shattered.
Following 10 the text of Mr. Blaine's speech at
Adrian, Mich.
There 10 a contest going on In 1888 which must
be decided one way or the other for generation,
because IL the protective tariff is lost in this
election let none Of you who are careless as 10
your votes fiatter yourselves that IL may be
caught up next year or the year after You VIII
not have an opportunity for year upon year, and
the Democrats who are assaulting IL know equal
ly well that IL they lose this year and the cause
OF protection triumphs they are beaten finally
for this generation 1t Is joining OF issues for
final combat such as has not occurred in this
country on that question since 1888, and every
voter within hearing OF my voice will take my
word for IL that whichever party triumphs this
year triumphs for all the time in which he will
bs n political actor on the stage. So that your
vote does not only count for this year or next
year, but IL perhaps counts for all the time that
you will bs an actor on the political stage.
Now, this question comes 10 this Great Brit
ain Is a manufacturing country OF immense
power. She supplies fabrics to the largest num-
Der OF people on the globe. She has 10000, 900
subjects in In Tia she supplies the whole OF
them. She has the colonies OF Australia and
the whole globe and she has practical monop-
oily in them but there ia one market which she
knows is larger and better and grander than all
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-10-17

It is enough TO know that IL is
not protection. Those who defend the present
Democratic policy declare that our people not
only pay the tariff duty upon all imported goods
but that a correspon ing amount Is ad led 70 the
price OF every domestic competing article; that
for every dollar that is paid into the Treasury in
the form of customs duty the people pay sew
eral dollars moro in the enhanced cost OF the
domestic competing article. Those who honest
" hold such doctrines can not stop short OF The
absolute destruction of our protective system.
The man who teaches such doctrines and de-
mics that he ia on the roa TO free trade is like
the man who takes passage on n train sched-
uled from here 10 Cincinnati without stop ;
and when the train is speeding ON its way at
the rate OF forty miles an hour. denies that he
is going TO Cincinnati The impulse OF such
logic draws toward free trade as surely and
swiftly as that engine pulls the train To the APP
pointed destination. 1t inevitably brings US TO the
English rule OF lsvying duties on such articles
as do not produce at home, such "a tea and
coiee. Tha. Is purely revenue tariff, and Is
practical free trade. Against this the Republi-
can party proposes that our tariff duties shall,
for an intelligent purpose, be levied chiefly upon
competing articles that our American worKmen
shall have the benefit OF discriminating duties,
upon the products of their labor. The Demo-
cratic policy increases importation; and by so
much diminishes the work 10 be done in Amer
lea. It transfers work from the shops OF South
Chicago 20 birmingham. For certain
amount of any manufac tured article is
necessary for years supply to our peo-
pie, and increase the amount that
is brought from abroad, by just so much wo di-
minish the amount Z at is made at home, and
in just that proportion we throw out OF employ
ment the men that are working here And not
only so, but when this equal competition is
once established between our shops and the for
eign shops there is not n man here who does not
know that the only condition under which the
American shop can run nj all is that IL shall re-
duce the wages OF its employees TO the level OF
the wages paid by the competing shops abroad.
This is briefly the whole story. l believe that
we should look after AMI protect our American
workingmen, therefore / am Republican.

DUTIES REDUCED BY REPUBLICANS.
Articles Not Produced I'm America Put On
the Free List.
from the Boston Journal. ]


One OF the Democratic party's favorite modes OF
attempting to impose upon uniformed voters IS
to assert that our present tariff is war tariff.
and never will consent to change il. How false
such assertions the Nashua IN. H. TeLe-
graph very neatly shows in this compact state
ment OF some OF the tariff changes for which the
Republican party is responsible:
The Republican party reduced the duty on
steel rails from S25 TO SIT.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
coffee.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
tea.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
hides.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
camphor
The Republican party abolished the duty on
indigo.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
macaroni.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
nutmegs.
The Republican party abolished the duty on
bleaching powders
The Republican party put sago on the free
list
The Republican party put shelac on the free
list.
The Republican party put raw silk on the free
list.
The Republican party put tin bars on the free
list.
The Republican party alb polished the duty ON
anthracite coal and reduced the duty on btu
mnous from II. p 10 IS cents per ton.
These are some OF the things which the
Bourbon shriekers about the war tariff never
refer 10.

Parties and Pensions.

ut is better TO trust those who are tried than
those who pretend, said Gen. Logan in one of
his speeches. The Democratic party pretends
to be the soldiers friend. the Republican party
has been and is. Every pension law on the stat
ute books to-day is the work of the Republican
party. The following tabulatod statement OF
votes on pension bills shows who passed the
pension laws and where the opposition TO them
came from:

MILLS ON HIS WAY HOME.
CLEVELAND CREDITED WITH THE
FOUR DOUBTFUL STATES.

The Gallant Texan in the Thick of the
the Idea of Serious Opposition to
His Own Reelection.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Hon. Roger q.
Mills spent the day in town He Iarrived
from the east, where he had been campaign
ing. and left this afternoon for home to give
attention during the last two days of the
canvass to his own district. Mr. Mills has
been an indefatigable worker for twelve
months now, and as a result is not in good
health. He was one of the most laborious
of those engaged in the preparation of the
house tariff bill. and, since the campaign
opened has advocated the cause of tariff
reform in every one of the doubt
full states. He is very much run down in
deed, although by no means in a perilous
state of health. The months rest between the
day of election and the reassembling of con.
gress will doubtless be sufficient to restore
him to his W nted spirits aud vigor.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
Mr. Mills Is confident of a democratic
triumph next Tuesday. His meetings every
where have been large and his discussion Of
the tariff question eminently satisfactory
to the local democratic leaders. He has
been assured that his speeches have in every
instance strengthened the party's cause, and
he goes home with the fervent wishes of
democrats everywhere for an increased ma
Jorlty in his own contest for reelection.
His observations assure him that Mr.. Cleve-
land will carry all four of the so-called
doubtful states-New York. New Jersey,
Indiana and Connecticut. 1t has recently
been intimated in some Of the protection
newspapers that Mr.. Mills might meet the
fate Of Mr.. Morrison-that is to say, his
district might be bought from under him.
MAKES HIM LAUGH.
Mr. Mills laughs at the very suggestion.
The opposition to him is not strong, and is
of that character not to encourage corrupt
methods; in fact in his tariff speech in the
House Mr.. Mills referred to the matter, and
said that while it was true he had opponents
at home they were honorable men who
differed with him on question of public
policy and could not be bought. The demo-
cratic organization in the district is thor
ough and effective, and the usual ma jority is
about 5000. Mr. Mills expects to receive at
least tnat on Tuesday. Some of his friends
put the figure even higher, but an indorse-
ment such as he expects will fully crafty
HIM, and at the same time bear testimony
to the strength Of the cause of tariff reform
in the great wool-producing state of the
union. Mr.. Mills will reach home Satur-
day night and on Monday great demon
stration will take place in his honor.

pointed day the united prayers and praise of a
grateful country may reach the throne Of grace,

customed places of worship. with prayer and
songs of praise, and render thanks 10 God for all
his mercies, for the abundant .harvesls which

rewards that have followed the labors of our
people In their shops and their marts of trade
and traffic Let us give thanks for the peace
and for the social order aud contentment within
our borders and for our advancement in all
that adds TO national greatness.
And mindful of the Affective dispensation
