confidence Three ministers of thu
| United States" resumed Blaine, seer
tainly two, have had their walking pa
pers for offences less than that, and to-
night if an American minister should
write to an English voter advising him
to support either side as one favorable
to the United States, he would be po-
litely invited to sail home by the next
steamer. And then what does the Sec
rotary of State doP Why, he says 1t
was no harm; it was only private.
Well, suppose he sent private letter,
suppose he issued 10000 OF them, and
marks them "private," and there
comes a discovery? suppose Sec
rotary Bayard would say not par
t'cle of harm was done so long as
you mark them "priyate." And aslong
as yod mark them 'prIvate" they will
have so much more beneficial effect
when they get into public print. And
so this has done its perfect work. 1t
was written for Grover Cleveland, and
(groansl in aid of him, to bring nat
uralized English voters to his support,
and Mr.. Cleveland's premier, at the
head of his Cabinet, says it is all right,
and we are to have British Minister
giving his opinion as to what we should
do in this country in our political and
domestic parties. One remark he
makes l wish to comment on partlcu-
larry, for call it an insult to the Re-
publican Party to say that the
rejection by the Republican Senate
of an outrageous and miserably
dastardly fshery treaty was a mere
political ruse of this campaign. He
has no right to say so. There never
has been Senate in the history of this
Republic-Democratic, Wing or Re-
publican-that would for one moment
have entertained that fisher treaty-not
one-and Lord Saekville-West has no
right to say to the American people
that the Senatorial representatives of
that great party who are looking after
the national honors are merely COM
hitting political ruse. He will find
a political ruse of that kind will last as
long as the honor of the American flag
is preserved and the right of hardy
fisherman of America is to be pro-
tected. s(Cheers.) Passing to the
tariff question, Mr.. Blaine said: awe
are in the habit of discussing
questions very largely on the
theory that you may phiosophize
on the doctrine of free trade and the
doctrine of protection to the end, and
want now to give you solid fact. Up
20 this date, since Grover Cleveland
was inaugurated, there have been i'm
ported into this country of iron and
steel and their products an amount
equal to the enormous sum of $3.50 ,000,-
600, ard they say we have got too high
a tariff. If that iron and steel had been
made here it would mean good wages
for whole year for 100000 laborers,
and for the average size of family
dependent upon him it meant 1000 900
to be fed aud backs to be clothed out Of
S160, 100000. That is what l call a solid
fact, and they say there is not enough
coming. Yet they want to lower the
tariff 50 we can have more. have the
supremest confidence that on November
9th the American people will declare
they will not surrender at the bidding of
England, or the bidding of the English
minister, or at the bidding of President
Cleveland. or all three combined. They
will never surrender the great principle
of protection to American industries.
