There are no words, permissible

such legislation is stamped ont as
dangerous and unconstitutional.

real interests OF West Virginia's flu

and nip such favorable Ito the capital

lines, and the original after a lapse
of a century still liyeth:
"To sum up all, he would aver,

BLAINE AT. HOME +!

The arrival of Mr.. Blaine in New
York last week was celebrated by a
grand welcome in which thousands
Joined. The old BLAINE enthusi-
assn was awakened from one end of
the country to the other. He goes
into this campaign as private citi-
zen with greater force than if he we're
the Republican nominee. AS he
said in New York he has no sores to
heal, and will take the stump not
against Cleveland or the Democratic
party as much as to tell the American
people what he has seen in Europe,
and to put Free Trade and Protec.
ton in their proper light before the
American labOrers and business
men. Monday he started on his way
to his home in Maine, and all along
the ronte through Connecticut and
Massachusetts he was greeted by
hundreds and thousands at every sta.
ton, for all Of whom he had a pleas.
ent word. There was wild enthusi.
asm everywhere, and so it will be
when he takes the field for Harri-
son and Morton. His name and
presence are an encouragement to
the party now, and they will be to
the American people the same when
his counsel will be called in the af-
fairs of government after the fourth
of next March.
On the Labor question Mr.. Blaine
said -
81 find that the workingmen of
the United States are in better
homes, are better educated and have
more luXuries and are in much bet
ter condition than the workingmen
of England. The reaaon for this is
that they get better wages by from
fifteen to one hundred per cent. than
the same class on the other side of
the Atlantic. They spend more
money because they have it to spend.
The cost of some things they pur.
chase is not more than from five to
ten per cent. more than the cost in
England. This condition OF affairs
is due to protection. Protected la.
Dor in America has advantages far
superior to free trade labor in Eng
land. English people are tree trad
ers because they believe in the theo.
ries of the magnificent John Bright,
but | can see that the free trade
which helped England to greatness
has begun to injure her now. We
compete with the foreign markets of
the world, and our laboring classes
suffer the consequence. | also find
here in the United States that the
laboring men own their homes in
many instances, and that they are
enabled through building societies
and steady employment to erect and
pay for them. 1t is a rare instance
in England for a workman to own
his home. The protective system is
the solution Of this problem, and l
believe that the people of the Unit
ed States would make q grave mis-.
take if they should adopt free trade
in place of protection ti
