EDllUND'S RECESS RESOLUTION.
Opposition Among ihs Msmbsrs-An Extrr
Session ID Preferred.

! Opposition Among ihs Nlsmbsrs-An Extrn
Session Ia Preferred.
WASHINGTON, D. G., August o0,-The
resolution introduced by Senator Ed.
munds providing for recess Of Con.
gress from September 10 to November
10 is the subject Of wide comment at the
capitol. To an Associated Press reporter
Senator Elmunds said DO offered the
resolution on his own motion and
responsibility. 1t seemed to him, he
said, due 10 tho public interest, and in
order that the large docket OF important
measures reported from committees,
pending before the Senate that all avail.
able time between now and the fourth
OF March next should be utilized in dis.
cussiug aud disposipg Of them. The
suggestion that the President should
call an extra session Of Congress Senator
Edmunds said he did not approve OF it.
1t would imply censure or rsproach
upon Congress for failure to transact the
business before it. Congress has the
power to take 8aeh recess and proceed
with it's business without the interven-
ton Of the executive.
Another Senator who WIS asked how
tho resolution was received by the
Republicans, said he did not believe any
one was in favor OF it. The general
sentiment expressed at the conference
last week was, he said, that il any time
WAS needed beyond tho limits Of the
short session, the President could iesue
his proclamation convening Congress in
extra session.
Senator Pierce said that he was satls-
fed tho President would not call IN
extra session Of Congress, whatever
might be done. Such resolution, the |
Senator thought, could have for its ulti.
lnato object only one thing-the passage
Of the election bill; that the Democrats !
would see that; and that they could and
would talk the resolution to death to
prevent the action OH tha bill. The
ia empowered, under certain
condition Of things, to do just what Sem
ator Edmunds' resolution proposes. In
case the two houses should faii to agree
npon date for adjournment, section 8
Of article ., relating to the powers and
iutirs OF the President, says: HE ,nay
Oh extraordinary occasions convene both
Houses, or either Of them, and in case oil
between them with respect
10 the time OF adjournment he may nd
ourn them nt such time as he shall
think proper"
Senator Edmunds says he will not call
lp his resolution for several days, the
lime depending upon the progress made
With the tariff debate.

JAMES G. BLAINE
Delivers a Great S peech on Our
n Protective Policy.
THE CONSISTENT UTTERANCES
or the Great Pr0teei l8nIst...lIis Re:
cIprOCity Scheme Does Not Con.
iiict With American Policy,
Keynote OF the Campaign.

WATEnvlLLE, Me, August ga pub.
lie mass meeting was held tonight, and
after Governor Bnrleigh made speech,
President A. W. Small. Of Colby Uni.
versity, introduced "as tho leader Of the
Republican party and q famous advo.
cate Of an interesting and progressive
protective tariff, Hon. James G. Blaine"
In regard to National. questions, Mr..
Blaine said:
u wish to declare the opinion that the
United States has reached II point where
one Of It's highest duties Is to enlarge the
area OF its foreign trade. Under the
beneGcent policy Of protection, We have
developed volume OF manufactures
which, in many departments Oyrr.runs
the demands Of the home market. In
the field OF agriculture, with the i'm.
mense propulsion given it by agricul.
tural implements, VIC can do far more
than produce DreadstuGs and provisions
for our own people; nor would it be ap
ambitious destiny for so great country
as ours to manufacture only what we
can consume, or to produce only what
We eau eat.
ADVANTAGES OF PROTECTION.
For nearly thirtyyears now the United
States has had the great advantage Of a
protective tarilf-by far the longest un.
broken period that its industrial policy
has been in force since this federal GOV.
eminent was organized. Happily the
great majority OF our people, without
strict regard to party lines, believe tha,
the results to tho American people from
the protective policy has been incalcula |
biy Denefcent, agEreguting in quarter
oil a century OF national and individual
wealth beyond anything ever dreamed
Of before in the history Of the world
Without protection the United
States would have been poor
indeed after the ravages of the
war from 1861 to 1865. With protection
every section has tlourished and pros.
pered, grown and galneu. Even where
revenue duties have been laid with no
prospect OF developing industries, there
have, in many instances been grea,
|inaucial and industrial results Bu,
what | mean to speak OF briefly ia a
system OF reciprocity. not in coutlic,
with II Protective tariff, but su upplement
ary thereto, md presenting field OF
enterprise that will richly repay the
-tiort and energy Of the American peo-
pie.
