all that, the tariff is not limited ID It's
protective operations to the East: II 1
wished to show you what the protective
tariff can do l would not tarry in New
England, nor in New York, nor in New
Jersey, nor in Pennsylvania. l would
come to Michigan and 1 would come into
this locality. L would say: Look ut
this great and prosperous city. 1t was
a village of 5000 people on
the day Abraham Lincoln was in
augurated. To-day it is a. city
of nearly $4,000. It's indus
tries-such is the vast subdivision OF
labor you have here, amounting to more
than one hundred different callings-
give you in the aggregate more than
S25, ,OOO, 600 a year. They give you In
your main articles (for l have had the
pleasure of reading the report OF your
board of trade) S6,000,000 in furniture,
s., SOC, 900 in planning mills, 100000 IN
boots and shoes and more than Sl,0OO,OOO
in the tanning of leather. The indus
tries of the country are not confined 10
the East. They are coming to the West,
and the protective tariff in its influence
and its beneficence has brought them
to YOU and your own door. But MIR.
Dickinson is not quite done abusing
New England.
HE THREATENS GREAT THINGS
against her. He is going to show how
old federal New England did not sup
port the war of 1912. Well, wish he
would. He will find two rank federal
lists from old federal families in Presl-
cent Cleveland's cabinet; men who can
give him all the information he wants
on thot point-Mr. Bayard and Mr.. En-
dicOtt. Then, he says, that New Eng
land did not do anything like her share
in putting down the rebellion; that she
did not do even as well as Missouri and
Kentucky. That is Mr.. Dickinson.
There were then only 100000 of peo-
pie, with not 200 arms-bearing peo-
pie in the whole of that country. |
wanted to certify to my memory, and
telegraphed home to the various New
England states: "What did the six
New England states do in the war for
the Union?'' The word which came
back was; "New England sent $4,000
soldiers to the field and $4,000 sailors
to the navy. l have piece OF advice
to give to Mr.. Dickinson. At one time
Gen. Scott's staff was afflicted bya very
forward, upstart-like member, who was
always talking in way to mortlty the
whole staff, and one evening the old
general said to this officer: My young
friend, you would be greatly improved
by studying the history of your cOun-
try In the present instance the talker
is cabinet officer, one who represents
the national administration. Upon a
certain occasion in the English parlia-
ment, when cabinet officer was asked
a question to which he was unable to
make a reply, Charles James Fox, who
was of the opposition, remarked: There
is one fault that can never be forgiven
in a cabinet officer-ignOrance.' rec
Gus and prayerful study of that brief
saying of Charles James Fox"
Grand Rapids was ablaZe tonight
with the flash of 1000 torches, lighting
up the faces of some $4,000 citizens, who
turned out to do honor to the city's
guest,
MR.. BLAINE, OF MAINE.
The procession was viewed by Mr..
Blaine from the balcony of his hotel.
Three largely-attended meetings were
held in as many halls. The largest,
held in Hartman's hail, was briefly adj
dressed by Mr.. Blaine, who said his
judgment of Michigan was that as ever,
would be found in the Republican pro-
cession, and that Harrison and Nor
ton will be the next president and vice
president of the United States"
[Cheers.] 81 believe" said Mr.: Blaine,
''their election is essential to
the continued prosperity of this
of this country believe In the protective
system, they must put at the head of
the government a president who be-
lieves in that system. A nursing child
must be put with friendly mother. In
1884 large part Of the people thought
the Democratic party could be entrusted
with the safe keeping of the financial
and protective system which has given
this country such uneXampled prosper
ity for the last quarter of century,
but they were deceived. They were
betrayed; and they are in tremendous
struggle to-day to save that system
from the touch of the Democratic party.
Do not be dismayed. The strength
is in your right arm to do
it. Do not be dismayed at
their boasts, for Democratic boasts
are not at all frightful. Applause and
laughter.l Why, month ago in Maine
we elected our governor by 1880 ma
jOrity; we elected members of congress
by 19,4O0 majority; we carried popular
majority in every county in the state;
we elected every senator to the Sta:e
legislature; we elected five-SiXths of all
the representatives, and we chose nine
ty-siX county officers out of ninety-nine
who were voted for. [Cheers.] After
it was all over and the returns were all
in, the Democratic state committee of
Massachusetts invited the poor, de-
spised and defeated Democratic candi-
date for governor of Maine up to Bos-
ton to a banqdet to give him an oppor-
tunity to thank God that
HE ESCAPED so WELL.
"What we realized i'll Maine will be
realized in this country in November"
Mr.. Blaine said " since his last visit to
Grand Rapids four years ago he had
been to Europe and saw nothing that in
terested him more than, when touring
in Scotland, to sleep in room all the
furniture in which came from Grand
Rapids. [Cheers.] A city which had
made such progress in manufacturing
under the protective system could be
relied on to cast its vote for that ''grand
and great candidate, Benjamin Harri-
son, for president of the Unitad States.n
Mr.. Blaine was followed by Gems. King
and NOyes.
