 UNFOLDING HOME MARKETS. mr. Blaine Again Produces Figures to Prove What Production Has Bone for she Couatry-Another Free Trade Argument R1ddled-What New Eng land Buys From Western States Protection Is NoG One-Sided.
 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 8.-Mr. Blaine was received by large and enthusiastic
 crowd of people here this afternoon and procession of uniformed clubs escorted him and his party to their hotel. A number of manufactures gave their employees holiday and they helped to swell the throng in the streets and in Hartmann's Hall where the speaking took place at 3 o'clock. MT. Blaine in his speech paid especial attention to statement attributed to Postmaster General Dickinson, that the system of protection was devised for the benefit of New England, which, with the rest of the East, gets all the advantage of it, while the West bears the burden. MT. Blaine said he had been gath
 ering statistics, and found that New England
 takes between half million and six hun- dred thousand tons of grain annually. She
 
 use for breadstuff.
 THH WOOL MANUFACTURED IN NEW ENGLAND.
 'sNext," ]" said MT. Blaine, ssthere are an-
 nually raised in this country 300, DOC, ,000
 pounds of wool. We had only 60,000,-
 600 pounds of wool grown annually by the
 farmers of the country when the free trade
 tariff was in operation just before the war.
 Under effect of the protective tariff we have S-- klno z -A
 wholly in the West, to 0,O00,0 900 pounds annually. And it brings vast aggregate of
 nearly $200, ,000, ,000 (cheers) to the farmers of the country. MT. Cleveland recommends
 that the duty on that be repealed and that
 we shall put the wool grower of the West on
 lia and Canada. The Republicans say t'No," ana New England takes every year half of that entire crop and pays the West $45, ,000,- 900 year for it. (Cheers.)
 OTHER WESTERN PRODUCTS USE. Besides, ss New England needs bread, for which she pays the West $20, ,0Oo, ,OO0 a year, she needs also provisions, which includes all form of meat, and for that and poultry in addition imported from the West New Eng land pays the farmers of the western States $55, ,000, 900 year. Moreover the people of the East want some butter to spread on their bread, and they do not make enough at home Laughter and applause), and they pay the West over $3, GOO, 600 year for that. Then New England needs good deal of lumber, hardwood and pine, and there are just three
 States here from which she gets it-Michi- gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and she takes $15, ,000, 900 8 year of western lumber, priD- oipAlly from Michigan. Then of copper and lead and salt and hides and umber, which are taken from the western States in the az gregate of $50, ,000, 900 more. The aggregate oka sa fo tun dra6 millions.
 HOME MARKET FOR $4O0, ,000, 900. This little bit of New England of which MT. Dickinson speaks contemptuously as hay
 ing only four millions of people, this little bit of Q frozen place on the northeast coast of the United States, takes $60, 900 900 worth of | cotton from the southern States and she goes down to Pennsylvania and Maryland and West Virginia, and of the products of coal,
 iron and steel she takes $56, ,000, 900 more. Then she takes as large an amount of petro- | leum and hemp and rice and fruits of all kinds, and in the grand aggregate that little bit of piece of coast scarcely so large as the State of Illinois, six little States, takes more \ than $400, ,000, 900 worth of material from the other States of the Union and in the grand ! exchange between east and west makes the | trade profitable to both and then keeps the ! money at home instead of sending it beyond | the sea.
 The total value of products that we sent to l old England last year of all imaginable arti- oles was $325, ,000, 900. (Cheers.) Now, gen. | tlenen, if you want to know what the value of the home market at your door is by the exchange of industries see what four millions l of people engaged in the arts and industries l of life can take from you at your door and 1 among your fellow oitixens as compared with forty millions beyond the seas. (Chsers.) WHAT NOVEMBER WILL SHOW.
 There was & procession of 4,o00 torches this evening and three largely attended meetings were held in as many halls. Mir. Blaine reviewed the parade and then briefly
 addressed the meeting at Hartman's hall. He said the people in 1884 had intrusted the l financial and protective system to the Demo- cratic party, and they had been betrayed and deceived. He predicted return of the I government to the hands of the Republicans in the coming election and said: "A month | ago in Maine we elected our governor by IS, | 500 majority; we elected members of Con- gress by 19, 500 majority; we carried a popu- l lar majority in every county in the State. We elected every State Senator to the State legis- 1 lature We elected fve-eixths of the repre- sentatives, and chose 96 county officers out of | 90 who were voted for. (Cheers) After 1t | was all over and the returns were in, the | Democratic State committee of Massachusetts | Invited the poor, despised and defeated Dem ocrat1c candidate TOT governor or Ma1ne up l to Boston to a banquet to give him an op- ! portunity to thank God that he had escaped so well. Prelonged laughter and applause. 1 What we realized in Maine will be realized in
 this country in November"
