Mr.. Blaine addressed large Republican
meeting in New York, last Saturday night.
His theme, OF course, was Protection. His
speech abounded in sophistries, but he was
silent on the subject of trusts and did not re-
fer to the revolution in Maine. Mr.. Blaine,
in his tariff talk, in which he charged the
Democrats with being free traders, doubtless
forgot the fact that on the 10Th of June, 1868,
in the House, he strongly opposed tariff on
lumber, for the reason that the tiller of the
soil needs it for his fence, for his wagon or
cart, for his pillow and tor almost every pur-
pose in his daily life Was Blaine free

A Tariff Discussion in Bel Air store.

EDITOR KGGs: AS seldom engage in any
private political disputation it was a little re-
freshng, few nights since, to listen to dis
cusson, in store, on the tariff. The question
i'll dispute was that of leather. The one party
insisting that the high tariff mad brought the
prices of the manufactured article down. and
the other, with equal potency that the high
tariff had kept the prices up and that we were
now paying more for all inferior article than we
could buy them for in Canada or in Europe
forgetting to say anything of overproduction
How easily could the dispute have been settled
had they known that the tariff on hides and
leather had been taken off. When the tariff tax
was on we exported no leather or articles man.
utactured of leather, but to the contrary i'm
ported largely of boots, shoes and other leather
goods. Do we see any of them or at best very
few of them now in the market? We manufac-
ture all the boots and shoes we consume pay
better wages to labor and from twenty-five to
thirty per cent. cheaper to the consumers. am
Informed also that we export SIC, 600, 900 worth
OF leather goods and as there is no export duty
we are the gamers.
Now, ifthis is true in reference to leather; it
is true as to other articles. Give us free raw
material and we can compete with the world
In all Of the useful industries.
