sEcURE TO AMERICAN woRXINaMRN
reasonable wages consistent with the
higher wants and the better food, cloth
ing and shelter demanded by American
workingmen. The object Of all this is to
secure the greatest diversity OF employ
ments by the substitution Of American
products for foreign products. When this
policy wRg first adopted there were practi-
cslly no manufactures in America, and
the principal object WAS to develop the
simpler and nuder forms OF manufacture
and the raw materials Of industry. Now,
our manufactures have grown to such a
marvellous degree that they amounted in
1880, according to the census, to 81, AGO..
900 600, and according to an estimate made
three years ago to over six thousand mill
lions, and now to near seven thousand
millions.
The question has arisen whether the
policy Of protection should extend to raw
materials produced on the farm and from
the mine, or whether these should be sd-
mitted free Of duty. We all agree that
all crude articles necessary for manuiac.
ture that cannot with reasonable labor be
produced in this country, ought to be ad.
mitted duty free. More than 500, 900, 900
in value Of such articles are now admitted
duty free; but the crude materials ior
manufacture raised on our farms or In
our mines which come into competition
with foreign labor, have been Just OBJ
scts OF protection.
Now, Il Is proposed to place these upon
the free list and continue the protection
to manufactures. The principal articles
Of this kind are wool, produced by the
farmer, iron ore by the miner, and pig
iron by the furnace.
Now, II this matter is to be determined
as 0 mere matter Of local interes', accord.
Ing to General Hancock, or, as Nj. Lowell
suggests, with aces In the aleeve," the
men Of Boston might sslfshly say that
% they want wool and make the wool

no Longer in Doubt.

NEW York, May .:-Thc World prints the
following from Augusta, Maine:
There is no longer any doubt among the
people of Maine that every effort will be made
at the Chicago convention to nominate James
Il. Blaine. Those who luve watched his
faithful li~-utenants, the Maine statesmen
"ho live here, see the same detailed campaign
arrangements progressing, the same prepara-
tions maturing that twice before preceded the
Blaine canvass. 1t is here that the headquar-
tiers OF Blaine always have been, and the first
signs Of activity In anticipation of political
struggles made their appearance in Augusta.
AS the date of the Chicago convention draws
nigh the whole scheme of the nomination of
Blaine has been unfollel to the faithful few
whose future prospects depend upon the fuc-
cess of their leader, Blaine. His name will
not he formally presented TO the convention.
The first three or four ballots will be eompli-
mentary to ''fayorite sons,'' and when this
respect has been paid to half q dozen promi-
nent candidates Blaine will he nominated by
exclamation. This is the plan which has been
determined upon and which will be carried
out, Every ambitious candidate will have
his fair chance; every "favorite eon'' will re.
ceive the votes pledged TO him, and after fu-
tile ballots with an open field they will be
ready for an almost unanimous choice.

will Run IL Asked.

WASHINGTON, May.1.-Concerning the
cablegrara published from Paris today to
the effect that Mr.. Blaine declines to-
make his declaration from Florence any
more positive, and that he will stand upon
the single intima,ion that he is not
a candidate for the presidency, and
further tba. he will not say that he would
not accept the nomination il rendered to
him, there has been a great deal of talk
to-day. The opinion appears to be that
blaine will not only not refuse a
denomination. but that he is cxpectise
it, and intends to remain in the attitude
of not soliciting it, but having IL
thrust upon him. A number of Republicy
ans we'll known to the country have said
this afternoon and evening that If there
has been any doubt that Blame was Il
formidable quantity and whether his
name will go before the Chi
cago convention, it has been dashed
to pieces by the refusal of this opportu-
nifty to rcstate his attitude and to say that
he docs not want the nomination. 1t is
now conceded that the Maine man
is in tie field and his name
will be presented at Chicago and
pushed. 1t is further stated that Blaine
men have approached the friends of
Senator Sherman with a proposition to
make him the vice presidential nominee
in the event of the nomination of Mr.
Blaine and that tic argument that they
make in support of their proposition is
that Mr.. Blaine is in bad health, and ii
elected he will not live out his term.

They entered the basement of a suspic-

sages running in all directions was found.
Following up one of these an officer ran
against IL door. the elasticity of which was
suspicious. Putting his shoulder to it he
ran over q young man who had been hold
ing the door against him. The young
fellow shot through til, passageway aud
up and over the stairs with the officer at
his heels. The officers foot suddenly
went down in a hole. his leg going in up
to the knee. Something large and soft
was at the bottom and there suddenly
arose from beneath the ground a howl of
fear and pain. The police struck a.
light and discovered u hole in the
ground about four feet square, at the
bottom of which they uneart!lcd a badly
frightenedbo From the hole extending
for a distance of several feet under the
cellar was IL species of chute, at the end
of which was a dim light. An officer
went into the hole and found a mine: of
