PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.v-James q.
Blaine arrived at Broad street station at
IL o'clock this noon. Mr.. Blaine bowed
slightly in response to the repeated
cheers of the crowd assembled, but
smiled no asserting response when the
shout Of speech" went up. The party
that came on the special car from
Washington included the secretary Of
state. Mrs. Blaine and James q. Blaine
Jr., Postmaster General Wanamaker
and Messrs. Tyler and Jones. The
party was driven to the Academy of
Music, where Mr.. Blaine spoke as fol-
lows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Thanking you first
of all for an old-fashioned, hearty Pennsyi-
vania welcome, for which on this occasion,
as on many others, am your debtor. L shall
proceed 10 the duty in hand. This is not an
ordinary occasion, or I would not be here.
MIR. Blaine then spoke of the political
campaign in this state. and continued
as follows:
The congress of the United States has
lately passed new tariff bill. Do you sup
pose that the great free trade papers of New
York and elsewhere throughout the Union
would care to follow up Mr.. Delamater on
personal charges If they did not have the
great purpose beyond? If they can elect Mr.
Pattison and defeat MIR. Delamater it is q
prodlgiouS gain to the cause of free trade
and 1t is a prodigious loss to the cause Of
protection. Pennsylvania is not only the
Keystone state OF the Union. but even in a
greater sense she is the keystone of the cause
of protection. II she falls back now when
the tariff is on its severest trial, the free

the surrounding states-the six states that
border upon her-can settle the presidency

Democratic hands-Ohio, Indiana, New Jer-

The decisive point of the struggle of 1892

free traders of New York CITY, Even the
blind can see that the free traders of New
York City with their powerful organs are
leading the van for the Democrat candidate
in this state and against the Republican
candidate. The source and inspiration Of
the Democratic canvass In Pennsylvania
comes from this source. The crushing blow,
II they succeed, is upon Pennsylvania. The
issue itself is concealed under this mountain
of abuse of the Republican candidate for
governor. Its object is plain. 1t is for Fem
sylvania. Now to show that the results Of
this campaign shall not be enjoyed by
the enemies of protection. We have had

on the question Of attaching to the bill or In

than myself.Oto bring the Republican
party together, and finally as one man we in
corporated the doctrine of reciprocity in the
tariff bill. just as soon as the Democrats
found that that had been done, they did not
want any reciprocity at all. They said in
effect, "ReciprOcity is an excellent measure
II 1t will divide the protectionlsts; but If you
go to incorporate it in the Republican plat
form, and make 1t part Of the political sys-

that 1t is unconstitutional" Did you ever
stop, to reflect, my friends, what this country
would have been to-day If we had been
baked by the cry of unconstitutionality every
time it was made by the Democrats? We
should not have been able to defend the
Uni when it was assailed; we should not
have been able to issue
Greenbacfxs for Its Support.

to improve a river that did not have salt
water in it; we should not have been able to
improve harbor in the interior states; we
