BLAINE'S NEW POLICY
The Plumed knight UnfOldS a Scheme
Whereby Millions May Be Made.
While Pretending to Defend the
Republican Protective Tariff
He Roundly Accuses 1t OF
Robbing This Country.


mass meeting was held here tonight and
after Governor Burleigh had spoken,
President Small, of Colby university in
troduced "the leader of the republican
party, and the famous advocate of the |
interesting and progressive protective
tariff, Hon. James G. Blaine"
In regard to national questions, Blaine |
said: ~ wish TO declare the opinion that |
the United States has reached a point |
where one Of its highest duties is 10 en-
large the area Of its foreign trade. Under |
beneiicent policy of protection we have
developed the volume of manufactures
which in many departments overruns
the demands of the home market. In the
field Of agriculture, with an inn
mense propulsion given 1t 10y
agricultural implements, we can do
far more than produce breadstutis
and provisions for our own people, for
would il be an ambitious destiny for so
great country to manufacture only what
we can consume or produce only what we
can eat? We are already in many fabrics
and i'm many products far beyond that,
and our great demand is expansion.
81 mean the expansion of trade with
countries where we can find profitable
| exchanges. We are not seeking anneXa-
ton of territory. Certainly we do not de-
sire il unless il should come by volition of
the people who might ask the priceless
boon Of place under the flag of the
union, l feel sure that for "A long time 10
come the people of the United States will
he wisely content with our present area
| n1 lannnh Schanna
| of annexation. At the same time,
! think we should he unwisely content if
we did not seek TO engage in what the
younger Pitt SO well termed the annex
alton Of trade.
"For nearly thirty years now the United
States has had the great advantage of a
protective tariff. Its industrial policy has
| been enforced since the federal govern
ment was organized. Happily the great
majority Of the people, without strict re-
gard 10 party lines, believe the results TO
the American people from the protective
policy has been intellectually beneiicent,
aggregating quarter of century of ma
tional and individual wealth beyond any
thing ever dreamed of before i'll the his
tory of the world.
~ do not mention this protection be-
cause | intend TO speak in reference
thereto before this audience. That would
/
be needless il not an impertinent effort.
merely Wish 70 prociiiil us VICTORIES.
