EXPAND OUR TRADE.

WATERvILLE. Me-, Aug. 29.-Secretary
Blaine spoke here tonight at a republican
mass meeting in regard TO national ques-
tions. II wish TO declare the opinion that
the United States has reached the point
where one of its highest duties is to enlarge
the area of its foreign trade. Under the
benefcent policy of protection we
have developed a volume Of manu-
factures which in many departments
overrun the home market. In the field of
agriculture. with the immense impetus
given it by agricultural implements. we can
do far more than produce breadstuffs and
provisions for our people. Nor would it be
an ambitious destiny to manufacture only
what we can consume. or to produce only
what we can eat.

"We are ready in many fabrics and in
many products fer beyond that, and our
great demand is expansion. Imean expan-
sion Of trade with Countries where we can
lind profitable exchanges. We are not

AT the same time think we should be
unwisely content If we did not seek TO en-

termed annexatlon OF trade. For thirty
years the new United States has had the
great advantage OF the protective tariff. by
