Show Blaine Speaks on Protection PHILADELPHIA Nov 1 Secretary Blaine arrived from Washington this afternoon He received a great ovation later in the afternoon as he appeared on the stage of the Academy of Music to address ad-dress a Republican mass meeting Tho spacious building was crowded to the door and hundreds were unable to gain admission admis-sion Mr Blaine in his speech referring to the campaign in Pennsylvania said Do you suppose the great free trade papers in New York and elsewhere throughout tho union would care to follow up Mr Delamater on personal charges if they did not have somo great purpose beyond I they can elect Mr Patt son it is a prodigious gain to the cause of free trade and a loss to the cause of protection Pennsylvania is not only the Keystone state of tho union but even in a greater sense is the keystone of the cause of protection pro-tection I she fall back now when the tariff is on its severest trial free trade will think it sees an easy road to the presidency in 1892 I want to remind you especially you Republicans who differ Jrom the I great body of your party that Ohio Indiana New Jersey Delaware Maryland I and West Virginia are at the present in I Democratic hands The decisive point of the struggle of 1S92 may lie in Pennsylvania Ii Pennsyl-vania and thosevotes And how any true i friend of the Republican party how any honest believer in the doctrine of protec tion can put to the hazard the the strong position of Pennsylvania at this critical I I time I fail to discover I Pennsylvania under a protective tariff tarf at this time can L be drifted from her lifelong allegiance to I the doctrine of protection and shall elect shl a gentleman of whom I know nothing politic poltic ally except that he is ranked with free I traders there may be no balm in Gilead Giea that can heal that wound I sneak stronclv on this question because I do not want to see this state mislead by the free traders of New Yorkcity The issue itself is concealed con-cealed under this mountain of abuse of the Republican party nominee for governor There is undoubtedly in the Repub lican ranks some difference as to the character char-acter of the new tariff bill The duty of making it was remitted by the people to Congress The bill which passed was the result of a compromise and I come with confidence to plead before the people of Pennsylvania not to differ as to details Mr Blaine spoke of the reciprocity amendment and said While the Democrats Demo-crats thought to divide tho Republican party on the doctrine of protection ho was patted on the back and encouraged by them but when the Republicans as one man incorporated reciprocity in the tariff bill they did not want it all and declared it was unconstitutional I we had been balked by the cry of unconstitutional uncon-stitutional at the time it was made by Democrats we should not have been able to defend the union when it was assaulted issue greenbacks for its support organ ized national banks improve a river that did not have salt water in It improve a harbor in the interior 01 a state give iree dom to a slave and as a next point should not be able to secure reciprocity in our international in-ternational trade by every attempt in every form in which political action can betaken be-taken The Democratic party expects to wound and destroy the doctrine of pro tection and I have came to raise my voice in Pennsylvania to ask the mother of protection pro-tection to see that her offspring shall not be strangled I my voice can have any in fluence with a single man among those who are dissenting from the regular organization I appeal to him not to think that it will be all well next year My friends faction leads to defeat and defeat leads to mutual hostility and disorganization disor-ganization I this light is continued to a disasterous end it will be wi a long time I fear before you will see tho Republican party of Pennsylvania come forth l its original strength and power Mr Blaine said he had not come sound any alarm upon the possibility of loss to the Republican House of Representatives He hoped they will not lose it but from the i time of John Quincy Adams to the time of Abraham Lincoln with one exception excepton every aaministration lost its second Congress Con-gress I is one of the natural reaction I that come between two presidental election I four years a part and these are so frequent that it creates no disturbance on the on I sido and no election on the other What deplore said ho is that the popular vote in Pennsylvania that encourage I Now Jersey in her Democracy and lead I tho dissenting branches of the party in I New York to close up and make their strength felt that shall crippleOhio in bel effort to throw off the Democratic power in the odious gerrymandering districts throw back Delaware in her Republlcrn progress make Maryland a hopeless instead in-stead of hopeful state and that shall take a from us the power to establish the Rep b Bean standard in West Virginia Every Every one of these considerations confronts you in the vote that a Republican casts in Pennsylvania Tuesday next The administration of President Horn son so far as that one man controls it has been a modest conscientious effective administration ad-ministration The country has been paaco ful imhisriou prosperous and prspErous gone forwaid in the quusr caioar such asa as-a government of Republicans should always exhibit I ask you in casting your ballot to remember you can sustain the administration of an able con sciencious and independent President or you can set the seal of doabt upon it You can do much to perpetuate the Republica II L r administration or you can do much to destroy de-stroy i I havo como hero not with the te purpose of eulogizing the administration but to bear my testimong and give you warning As Pennsylvania votes next Tuesday so the nation votes two years hence Postmaster General Wanamaker spoke briefly saying ho felt assured of a Rcpub ican victoay next week Mr Blaine then wont to the Union League club where he held a reception |
