WATERvILLE, Me-, Aug. "a rousing
republican mass meeting was held tonight
and after Governor Burleigh had made a
neat speech President A. W. Small of Colby
university in happy speech introduced as
the leader Of the republican party and a
famous advocate of an interesting and pro-
gressive protective tariff Hon. James g.
Blaine. Mr.. Blaine said he was glad to
speak in Waterville, since it was there he
was first nominated for congress, and he
we'll remembered the qualification with
which he learned that the nomination was
unanimous. Referring to state affairs, he
said that the affairs of no other state in
the Union had been more Justly, more
wisely, more economically administered
Names long succession Of republi-
can chef magistrates have been without
spot or blemish. The election which takes
place the eighth of next month involved in
great part the political issues now under
discussion in-the national field. The de-
cision of Maine will have its influence on
other states, and that decision will be pro-
nounced in the majorities we shall give in
our four congressional districts. Each of
these districts is represented by an able
man in whom the republican people of
Maine have confidence. I should regard it
as political calamity to the state if any
one Of the four should by any possibility
be defeated. In this district l am sure
Mr.. Milliken has been a faithful represent
alive, which will be shown by a large ma
jority, and trust that the republicans in
the three districts are alive to their duty.
He said:

destiny for SO great country as ours to manu-
facture only what we can consume or to produce
only what we can eat. We are already, in many
fabrics and in many products, far beyond that
pansion of trade with countries where we can
find profitable exchanges. We are not seeking

the two.
Mr.. Blaine then proceeded to give sta
tistics showing the exports and imports OF
the world, and continued.
To sum it all up, our imports from the coun
tries south of us, both insuar and continental
on this hemisphere, were S2i6, 900 900; our ex
ports to them S74, 100000. The balance agains
