The Wage-Workers.

BANGOR, Me-. August 23.-Two thou
sand people attended the Republican
demonstration to-day. Mr.. Blaine was
loudly oheered when he took the plat
form to make his speech. He was in
perfect health, excepting slight hoarse-
ness. His speech was written and he
confined himself to the manuscript.
He began his remarks by stat
ing that the Democrats all over
the country had perverted his
statement made in New York, when
he compared the savings in the banks
of the English Workmen 10 those in
Massachusetts. They had said he
meant the aggregate of the savings in
the British banks, when, in fact, he had
said of the working people He had found
those in England amount to $1S2, 00O, OCO,
while in Massachusetts they amount
to $3l7 000,0e0. England, he begged
his audience to remember. had
population of 30.000,G00, when
Massachusetts, had only 1,750,GC0
inhabitants; and, remembering that
the ENGLISH workingmen lived in
free trade country and those in Mas
sachusetts in pi otected country, 1t
would be impossible to fly from the
force of the argument He was willing,
however, to admit that the aggregate
savings in the British banks. amount
ing to S520,000,000, all belonged
TO the English workers, and
then take into consideration the
proportion of the population and
then what consolation do the Demo-
Gratis find? The speaker then went On
to make like comparisons between
England and the States and his figures

that after twenty-eight years of pro-
tective tariff. the wage workers of New
York and New England have $7l5,-
aggregate of all the savings of
that it showed the American workman
TO have saved five times as much as the
Englishmen, The Democrats, he said,
always made a point that the pros
perity of manufacturing in this country
was at the expense of the farmers. To
refute this, Mr.. Blaine furnished Stats
tics showing the growth of the western
or farming States. The Southern States
had recovered from bankruptcy and
the devastation OF four years.

protection now had 5000, 000,-

speaker, these are the very ones who are
