Mr.. Blaine's journey from New Yorl
to Boston and to Augusta was con
tinued ovation. His speeches wert
ringing and to the point, and every
where the people turned out to hear him
The interest that has been manifested
in his utterances has impelled him t.
come out and do campaign work sooner
than he expected to do it, and at Angus
ia he made his first elaborate speech o
the year. In the meantime, the Demo
Gratis with accustomed faulty, are striv.
ing to break the force of the great com.
motion he has created by denying that
the people are anxious to hear him. In
the face of the tens of thousands who
have listened to him since he stepped
upon his native shore, they say his re-
ception has created but little impression
and altogether has been a failure. Ii
was once said that those whom the gods
would destroy they first made mad, but
in these modern times it now appears
that when a political party is to be des-
troyed it first becomes driveling like an
idiot.

GEN. HARRISON ON THE TARIFF

"The confessed free traders are very
few in this country. But English
statesmen and English newspapers con-
fidently declare that, in fact, we have a
great many. Applause We are told
that it is only an average reduction of !
per cent. that is contemplated. Well, if
that were true and not very deceptive
statement, as it is really, you might
fairly ask whether this average reduc-
ton does not sacrifice some American
industries or the wages of our working
men and workingwomen. We would
have more confidence in the protest of
these reformers if we could occasionly
hear one of them say that he was pro-
tectionist or admit that our custom
duties should adequately favor our do
nestle industries. But they seem to be
content with negative statement.
Those who would if they could elimi-
nate the protective principle from our
tariff laws have in former moments of
candor described themselves as pro-
gressive free traders, and it is an apt
designation.
THE protective system is a barrier
against the flood of foreign importations
and the competition of the under-paid
labor in Europe. Those who want to
lower the dyke owe it to these who live
behind it to make plain statement of
their purposes. Do they want to invite
the flood or do they believe in the dyke,
but think it will afford adequate protec-
ton at lower level.
What l say is only suggestive. l
cannot, in this brief talk, go into details
or properly limit the illustrations have
used. But this is an appropriate and
timely inquiry; with what motive, what
ultimate design, what disposition
towards the principle of protection is it
that our present tariff schedule is at
tackedf 1t may be that reductions
should be made; it may be that some
duties should be increased; but we want
to know whether those who propose
the revision believe in taking thought
of four American workingmen in fix
ing the rates, or will leave them to the
chance effects Of purely revenue tar
iff." [Applause.]

Mr.. Cleveland may, and probably will
fail of reelection, but whatever befalls
he has the proud consciousness that the
Golden Club approves of him and is
grateful to him. The annual report OF
the club pays to him this appropriate
tribute: ''On the Continent of Europe
tariff wars are waging between all the
prOtectionist countries, with effects ad-
mittedly injurious. IN the United States
President CLeueland'S message carries
tOtth IL The promise Of such measures Of
tariff reform as may, IN the course Of q
fen years make something like reno
luton IN international trade. Not ouly
would the direct results of opening the
markets of such country be enormous,
but, if the United States, hitherto the
great supporters of protection, should
become satisfied that protection is de-
fusion, and that their own best advan-
tage is to be found in free trade, such a
change in their opinion and practice
could not fail to influence the opinion
and practice of the rest of the world. !"
The Golden Club, it may safely be as
sumed, knows free trade when it sees it,
and its impartial Interpretation of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message is that of a
confession that the United States have
"become satisfied that protection is a
delusion, and that their own best ad-
vantage is to be found i'll free trade"

Protection to American labor means
good wages and higher standard OF
living for the American workmen. The
millennium is not attainable in this
world, but of all countries the one that
offers the best opportunities to the poor
man is America, and the most prosper
Gus and progressive times the nation
has known have been under the Pro-
tective policy. The adoption of British
Free Trade, on the other hand, would
mean reduced wages and lower stand

The following item taken from the
Christian Leader, may be of interest to
those who remember the deceased as q
brilliant preacher away back in the
forties: "Rev Charles E. Hewes, formerly
of the ministry Of the Universalist
Church in Vermont, Massachusetts and
New York, and Chaplain of the Four
teenth New York Regiment during the
civil war, died in Fonda, N. Y, june
25th, 1888, aged IA years. His wife died
on the day previous, at the residence Of
her daughter in VintOu Bower, where
she had resided the past 20 years. Mrs
Hewes was one of those who amid the
severest trials carried the bright sun
shine of youth into old age"

THE SIXTEENTH OF AUGUST,
The Father Matthew Picnic.


Bennington's great day went withou
notice this year save in connection witt
the annual picnic of the Father Matthew
L. A. B. Society. The threatening
weather of the morning deferred many
from coming into town, but the eXer
Cises went forward and the clouds pass
ing off fine day and evening resulted
The opening of the programme was 6
fine procession, in which the village
government and the Fire Department
took part. This was formed on South
street resting on Union and proceeded
through the three main streets of the
village and to the junction ofSchool and
Pleasant streets where the guests of the
+ NJ. 7. A. b. society were dismissed,
as follows:
Chief Marshal
Mower and Reaper Band OF HoOsick Falls
FIN t. A. B. Society.
Little Cadets,
Chief Engineer, Assistants, Village Fathers,
Fire wardens and Captains
of Companies.
Bradford Hook and Ladder Company.
Equipment drawn by four
finland, gray horses)
Camp Ray, S. o.. " Drum Corps,
Stark Hose Company.
Stark Steamer and Engineer
Tiffany Hose Company.
Putnam Hose Company,
Sheldon Hose of Rutland.
The procession was a fine one,as good
as we ever witnessed of local organiza-
tions. The band discoursed superior
music, the L. A. b. Society are line
appearing body of men, and of the Fire
Department we affirm no better exists
in any country town.
At the grove the programme of sports
was carried out including a hose race
for two prizes $75 and $25. the former
was won by the Sheldons of Rutland,
and the latter by the Pittsheld Hose
the only two companies competing
time 81 and 50 seconds. The Pittslields
did not arrive in time to participate in
the parade.
The occasion was q grand success.
