TnE KeYMoTE.

Mr.. Blaine struck the keynote OF
the campaign when he said in his
speech on Friday.
The progress of the campaign in the
United States is viewed from the Eu-
ropean stand point with an interest as
profound as in the United States. 1t
is the opportunity of England. 1t is
long looked for occasion upon which
the cheaper labor and the cheaper fab
RIGS of the old world expect to invade
the new and lower the wages of the
new world to those of the old 1t is
not contest of capital; it is not a
contest of partisan against parsisan. 1t
is much higher than either of these. It
transcends all party motives. Whether
the great mass of American citizens
who earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow shall be so reduced in their
emolument from day 10 day. That is
the whole pith and moment of this
question. Anything that diverts the
question from that single point, is
weakening of the campaign. l say
here, that the wages of the American
laborer cannot be reduced except with
the consent and the votes of the Amer
lean laborer himself. The appeal lies
to him. 1t comes to his door and asks
whether with the great power of the
franchise, and the great majority he
possesses in his own hands, he is will
ling for himself and his associates, his
children and his children's children to
take the fatal step at the bidding of an
American Congress and an American
President who are governed by that
element which sought to destroy this
nation,

WHY IT is FREE-TRADE.
FROM A SPEECH AT CAMBRIDGE BY
HENRY CABOT LODGE.

FROM A SPEECH AT CAMBRIDGE BY
HENRY CABOT LODGE.
1t is Free-Trade that is proposed,
not tariff reform. When the Presi-
dent in his message, and the Secretary
of the Treasury in his report, advised
the retention of the Internal Revenue.
and maintained silence as to the great
sugar taxes, urging the removal of
surplus wholly by the removal or re-
duction of Protective duties, they
committed themselves to Free Trade
in manner which no form of vague
and soothing words could disguise.
When the majority in the house unite
on such measure as the Mills Tariff.
with its comparatively slight reduc-
ton of sugar duties and internal reve-
nues, and its wholesale attack on all
the Protective duties, they commit
themselves TO Free-Trade. Had they
aimed merely at reducing the surplus,
they would have got rid of it more
surely and speedily by reducing the
tobacco taxes, repeating the burden
some tax on alcohol used in the arts
and by abolishing the sugar duties.
