defense Of truats and his ignorance Of the

pede Get toward the Democratic party,
decreasing the Republican ma 5rity IL
Maine 1910, and taking New jersey from
the list Of doubtful sss.es.
Now the psnic which got hold upon Nj.
Blaine in 1884 he's een cd him again, and
Cs loses 81 dignity, oil respect for bis
position, all regard for his audience. He
is 10 longer leader, IN historical Char
sc.cr, retired Statesman, but . spou:e:

I'm spouter on Protection.

Mr.. Blanca first "sensalIonsW charge
is tba. the President, "1ho has norighs
to interfere with trusts" is by bargsiu
and sale responsible for the existence OF
the s0ga. trust.
II is rot possible to make Mr. Blaine
understand tba: the sugar trust ia COM
posed not OF producers but Of re6nefs;
that their raw products come chiefly from
sbroad; that 3 reduction OF the import
duties Oh raw sugar inures to the bsne a:
notiof the.coIsumer, not Of the.producers,
but Of tho refners, because these raw
sugars can only be reaaed by associations
controlling great capital, snd thie capital
hss formed ga trust" which Is "pureIy 9
private sffsir."
The Senate bill, which Is the formu-
lated policy Of the Republican parry, re-
ducs3 We tsx on rsw eugsc one-hslf.
This is Iot Glow At the sugar trust; 1t
is intended only IS blow e. our revenue
tariff. Senator Allison hag so arrange ed
tie sugar schedule ss 10 ircreeee the pro
lection extended 70 the refne2s. Mr..
Blsine prefers TO ignore this fact, though
il Is plain to anyone who will examine the
Senate bill. 1t Is not q mere asser
tion resting On Democratic authority,
for the Philadelphia Press, Republican
organ, in its iss OF October 4, which
Mr. Blaine has not seen, says:
The (Souste bilD reduction mazda on sugar,
heavy 60 It is, amounting TO OF e-haf The oner
Gus Is K |. Wed on This ar ic OF 1000, continues
the relative protect ex ended to the manu-
facIurs of rcfii ed Gugars In this country, and
II any thirg, slightly increases 1t. In other
worde, while the duty on INV suga 8 Is cut eI
g aces Of efined sugar Is cut from 40 to 45 per
cent. so that the work OF refining sugars will
continue unoistufbed.
This is sufficient to show-Mr. Blaine
to the contrary notwlthstanding-that not
the Pre- siten., not the ways and means
committee, but Senator Allison Is the
party Responsible for the continued sue
&c Sc Of the sugar trust.
Blu. Mr.. Elaine is troubled about the
sal. tEust. So are tho Democrats. MI.
Bls!us wants to know why the Democrats
co not abolish the duty on sugar and de-
stroy the sugar trust, and then, snewer-
iug hist conundrum to bis OWN sht!sfsc
ton, be proceeds 80 show that the Demo
cIsts, ty putting eslt oa the free list, .re
enlsYging the powers Of the sslt trust.
M. R.s.ne must have had another SUI
stroke, Or else lie has hsd q peculiar
inpse CT msmcry.
Mr.. Hslstesc should go tie relief Of lis
distinguished le:de. with the famous pre- =
scription which 10 recommended TO him
in 1876
Fha formula Is as ;ollows:
"Mr. blaine shoul study the history OF Ana
MAS and sapphira."
As MISTER OF isct, the weJs and means
committee has Placed salt On tie free
list ss recommended By tie President;
further than this the Democratic candi-
date for Governor CT Michigan stands by
tree salt, In opposition to his Own per
sonsl interests, but no one has hesrd thst
Mr.. Carnegie haa urged Cox gress TO put
steel en- the free list.
Mr. Blaine next discusses the iEas mary
whisky t.ugt.
This Is always peFplexing subject to
Republican cratorE, and 1t Is peculiarly
go TO Mr.. Blaine.
Hare is q trust-supposing such 8
trus. to eIist-Which, contrary to the
nature Of irus:r, Is In fsvor Of taxing It's
own product.
The sci. trust, the steel rail- trust, the
tin p ate trus', the copper trust, evary
other trust in the land clamoTs tor tex
on the property Of other people, but they
oppose g tex on their own goods.
They want imported rails taxed, and
domestic rails free.
But here Is this monster, the whisky
trust, SO. called, lxboring-if for once we
are to believe Mr.. Blaine-in Congress
srd on. to keep 8 tsx on Its own product,
q tax which. according to Mr.. Blaine
himself, increases the pT!ce and lesssns
consumption.
Tia. we may not DO accused OF misrep
reeentation we quote from Mr.. Blsinef:
Paris manifesto TO show that the internal
tax on whiek3 does increase Its cost and
does lessen its consumption
al would not advise the repeal Of the whisky
tax. Tnera Is = moral side 70 Il. To cheaper
the price Of whisky 10 70 increase Its consump
tion enormously. There would be no Sc se II
urging the reform wrought by high license II
many states X thu nasional gov rAment neutr
ICES the good effect by making whisky within
reach Of everyone at 20 cents gallon. 1t wou!t
des.roy high license q once In all the sta.ss.'
II there Is q whisly trust, II tax OF
whisky operates to the advantage OF thil
trust, Mr.. Blaine surely Is Its most zeal
Gus advocate snd attorney.
According to Mr.. Blaine, who, lacking
the courage to make the charge himself
consents to repeat what hs Is careful 4
riding 10 Mr.. Blaine, til!
whisky ring displaced Nj. Randall, Wit
favored free whisky and put in Mr.. Carl
isle, who believes with Mr.. Blaine tina
Whisky ought to be taxed.
MIR. Blaine, even in the heat Of passion
smsrting under the pain OF coming defeat
does not believe any such thing. HI
knows better than he knows the h1ssor!
Of the Mulligan letters, better than b
knows his reasons for Withdrawing ali
suit for slsnder against the Indianapolis
Sentinel, he knows thst Mr.. Carlisle wa
