BLAINE'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Blaine, il addressing the assemblage,
after brief discussion OF the tariff said:
The argument that is now closing between
protection and free trade is an argument which
took pleasure in saying in the first speech |
made III the campaign, is not for D.al it is for
labor. 1t is not one for the rich man, it is one
for the wage Garner, and if it is lost, it is lost to
the hurt of every man in the United StatoS who
earns his bread in the sweat of his face. APP
platse.I We are not going to have the British
minister in Washin yton tell us how to vote. We
viii not take instructions from the court of ST.
James as to how we shall vote on protection
tariffs in America.
he HADN'T HEARD THE NEWS.
iy,t
cratic papers just now as to Lord Sackvlle
West being recalled. President Cleveland's
administration want to show their Indignation
for his indiscretion 1t will only take one word
to recall him. What they have been doing
is trying TO get the English prime
minister MI p,,o, in London ts to recall him
in London, as we get the news over the cable,
is dining out at Hatfield with Lord Salisbury,
to see if Lord Salisbury won't relieve President
Cleveland and Secretary Bayard by recalling
to say word further about Lord Sack
vli!e's letter. observe that Patrick
Collins of Boston representative in congress, in
an interview states that it is very remarkable
circumstance that the Murchison letter should
have been written on Sept. 3, and Lord Sack
vilie's on Sept: A. and thai it should have been
published in New York at Irish meeting in
Madison Square by me on Oct. %.
WAS CHESTNUT.
Well. the letter had been published for four
days, aud Lord Sackville had admitted it, and
Secretary Bayard had three times criticised it
by saying that it was q private affair and none
of his business. and after it had become. in the
language OF the boys of to-day, "a chestnut"
referred to it in a public meeting, and now
Mr.. Collins says that it is the most remarkable
conspiracy OF modern times. Applause and
laughter. Anything to get that off their
shoulders. 1t is bothering them. No repub-
lican administration ever had the Intervention
of British minister and never will
ENGLAND AND PROTECTION.
No odv "a Of in
had the sympathy of British minister, and
never will. [Applause.l The American doc
trine of protection upheld by the republican
party finds no support at the hands of English
men or English ministers, and what we contend
is that self-respect is the first law of nations as
it is of men. and that, while England
would resent to the last degree any in
PREVENTION in her domestic affairs by an
American ministers, so should we resent the
least Intervention i'll our domestic affairs by
British minister AS long as he is the British
minister he is entitled to the entire respect of
the whole American people. Diplomatic re-
spect is the first law of all intercourse between
nations.
QUEER WAY TO RESENT IT.
Heis entitled to every protection and eve-y re-
spect but he is not entitled to the right of inter
vening in our domestic affairs, and if the people
want to resent 1t they can resent it one week
from to-day, and they can resent in very sim
pie way. They can resent it by voting for Ben
iamin Harrison for President. Great cheer
ing aod applause They can resent it
by voting for protection 10 American
manufacturers. They can resent il by restor-
ing to power the plrty with whose existence
the prosperity of the United States for twenty
four years was identifisd-the Republican
high honor of the country under all circum-
stances. Applause
GRANDPA's HAT.
Now, gentlemen. as have said once before
and repeat it here. for | want it to come out
there has been an attempt by the democrats Ia
IN at 4 Ian
rison. They call him the grandson of his grand
father Well, Gen. Harrison stands as much
as any man in this world ever stood on his own
merits. He was young lawyer that strug-
ged to the front of the bar unaided by
power wealth Pc was soldier wac on the
field of battle won the approval Of that great
nonor-Gea. Grant. Great applause He
stands, if any man ever stood. on his own mer
its as an American, but when they attempt to
sneer at a man because he comes of good STOCK
resent it.
HARRIsoS's LINEAGE.
II you go clear to the sands of Arabia to get
good blood in your horses, or TO the shores of
the German ocean to get good blood for your
when we nnd him. And he has lineage of
which any great noble house in England might
be proud 1t is a lineage, not of no.
that a on ali 9 fields of pssSe effort sSs ssss
distinguished by bsing at tho front. His father
was an able and patriotic member Of congress
His grand father was the nrSt governor of that
great northwest, which now makes five states
He was a delegate in congress; he was United
States senator.
THREE GREAT BATTLES.
He fought three great battles for the enamel
patton of the northwest from the Indians AMI
last of all he was President OF the United
States. His great grandfather was governor
of Virginia in revolutionary times. He was n
sgner of the declaration OF independence: he
would have been president of that great con
gress and sat where John Hancock sat and
signed his name where Hancock signed
except for his native modesty, which induced
him to give way TO the man from Massachu
sets. And back of all that in those civil wars
which ragged In England and gave constitutional
liberty to that country, and which we brought
across his ocean, his great-great- grandfather,
Thomas Harrison, $50 years ago took promi-
nent and honorable part
MERIT OF HIs OWN.
Gentlemen, when a man has no merit himself
] never quote his ancestry. But hurl back the
sneer of democrats hurl it in their teeth and
there is not one among them who would not
give his eyelids to have the lineage that Gen
Harrison has. and whenever a man does not
have an honest pride in a great and honorable
and patriotic ancestry, then he is
dead to some of The highest attributes
of pride and human character. Now
gentlemen, all that / say in answer to their
merits as a man, as soldier, as a statesman
as a republican. as a protectionist-and he fills
every requirement.. He is the very embodiment
OF every issue that is to-day before the people
on which the Republican party take their
poSItion. And / say To Won nRain as I said
