Notice from J. N Adam & Co. We do not intend to allow any dealer in New Haven to retail Parasols or Fans or Lace Goods or Sum mer Dress Goods at lower prices than ours during the next three weeks: 4ut rather we shall try to havervur fig ures less than those of any other house.

It is a question now who is going to fyave the most courage in mark ing down, and standing the loss. And we here by give notice that we haye set ourselves to win. We can stand it. Co7ne and see. Last week we filled two close ly printed columns of this paper with exam ples of the reductions then begun, tut we are at tt every day, making fresh reductions wher ever necessary, andper haps often when not really necessary. - We dont often advertise in this way, but when we do, we mean it. Besides- the goods men tioned above we should also draw atteyuion to what we are doing in Hamburg Edgings, in Cloaks Sacques and Shawls, and in Men's Furnishing Goods.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT, JOHN A. LOGAN, ofllllnols. THE BLAINE LETTEB, The document which we publish this morn ing with James G. Blaine's name signed to it is not. a Presidential message, though it re sembles one of those thrilling affairs in its length. Bnt unlike Presidential messages Mr. Blaine's letter of" acceptance will be very generally and carefully read. And it jis well worth reading. - In the beginning of his letter Mr. Blaine loses no time in getting to-the most important matter of the campaign namely, the tariff question and he deals with it in a way which will win the approval of all who believe in the protective policy. He states with force and clearness what that policy has done for this country, and shows how the fanner, about whose welfare the free-traders appear 1 to be very solicitous, has profited and will profit by protection. He sets forth the true relations of labor and capital and the interest both have in protec ion, and ends his consideration of this topic with the following true words: Who can measure the harm to our shops and our homes, to our farms and our commerce, if the uncertainty of perpetual tariff agitation is to be inflicted upon the country? We are in the midst of an abundant harvest; we are on the eve of a revival of general prosperity. Nothing stands in our way but the dread of a ehange in the industrial system which has wrought such wonders in the last twenty years and which with the power of increased capital will work still greater marvels of prosperity in the twenty years to come. Next Mr. Blaine pays attention to the for eign policy of the United States, and those who havo been the most severe critics of what they have called his foreign Dolicv will find nothing here to be frightened at, or to condemn. He advocates "the conquest of peace" and the extension of our commerce in an especial degree "with our friends and neighbors on this continent." What he says on this point is full of good sense. He also advocates the protection of the American citizen in his K rights wherever he may happen to be. The condition of the South is next wisely touched upon and then the great subject of Civil Service Reform receives attention. The Civil Service reformers can find no fault with Mr. Blaine's utterances concerning this matter, and he makes the very excellent sug. gestion that the reform might advantageous ly be applied to appointments in the consu lar service. There is certainly as much need of it there as anywhere. The Mormon question is treated firmly. Mr. Blaine says: "The claim of the Mormons that they are divinely authorized to practice polyg amy should no more be admitted than the claim of certain heathen tribes, if they should come among us, to continue tne roe or unman sacrifice." And lie points out that, like others, the Mormon must learn that the lib erty of the individual ceases where the rights of society begin. The other matters touched upon are our currency, the public land question, our ship ping interests and the sacredness of the bal lot. What he says concerning them will be approved by all. The letter as a whole is exceedingly satis factory. In fact, it is dimcult to see now it could be bettered. " It will add materially to the enthusiasm which the supporters of its writer have felt sinee he was nominated. EDITORIAL NOTES. An official census of China has recently been taken, and the population of the empire was found to be 280,000,000. This isn't 400,000,000 or 500,()0,000, which used'to be the figures for the population of China, but it is a large number. The growth of the oity of Minneapolis is one of the wonders of the country and the times.

And she is bnt an infant mnuicipality yet. The president of Ahe National Plumbers!' association at Chicago is out in a card sug gesting that the members of the association in every city tender ttieir services as an aux iliary sanitary board, under the direction of the local boards of health, to aid in warding off a cholera epidemic. This is a good idea, but we are afraid it will not be well received by the "funny men" of the press. . . 1 Petroleum has a great many uses, and now it is said to be good for cholera. In Galicia there are many petroleum wells, and here it has been observed that the work-people have always enjoyed perfect immunity from chol era, even when it has broken out with great virulence in the district around them. This fact the peasants themselves attribute to the emanations from the petroleum-laden soil, which, they say, kil the pestilential germ and all kinds of insects. The Enelish citv of Worcester has been ex perimenting with "Sunday opening" and finds the effects good.

The work was commenced some years ago by Fraulein Katharina Buhler, the sister: of the heraldic artist. Experts say that no- one else could have executed the task so skillfully and rev erently. :WrSout some sortj of attention the tapestry mutt pave soon fallen to pieces. une of the companions, the tent-carpet of Charles the Bold, was restored about five years ago. These works afe judged to have been in par wrought at Arras, on the frontier of the in dustrial Flanders, and in part at Bruges. They axe In wool, interwoven witli gold and silver thread, and were made piecewise and afterward joined together. The subjects are partly religious, partly historical and partly heraldic. One of them represents the le gend of the "Heiligsprechung" of the Em peror Trajan. An Indiana dealer in clothing secured large glass globe, filled it with beans and put it on exhibition in his shop window. He then announced that airy person who would ouy goods to the amount or nfty cents or more from him would receive a - ticket "en titling the holder to one guess at the number of beans in the elobe," and that "whoever guessed the nearest" was to get the prize watch. For this scheme the man was in dicted under the lottery law. The case was carried to the Supreme court of the State, and was decided against the defendant. It was argued in his behalf that to find out the correct number of beans in the glass globe was not a matter of chance, but of mathe matical calculation. Bnt the court said: An expert mathematician might compute the dimensions of the glass globe with a reasona ble degree of certainty. Necessarily, the re sult would be but approximately correct. To be mathematically correct tiw exact thick ness of the glass would have to be known. This exactness could not be ascertained by an observation of the sealed globe. Here would necessarily be an element of guessing. And if the exact size of the globe were known it would be utterly impossible by the appli cation of mathematical rules or by any other means to calculate the number of beans con tained in it. The size of the several beans, so far as they could be observed, would be matter of pure guessing. And besides, only those on the surface and next to the gl could be seen. Those in the center might be larger or smaller. In short, there could be no fixed and definite fact or quantity upon which to base mathematical calculation or demonstration. The number of beans in the globe could be nothing less than a matter of guessing. FELT, A policeman's helmet, like his club, is felt on tne nead. .Boston uommercial .Bulletin.

From the London Laneet. The principle on which the practice of vivi section justifiably rests is briefly this that even as a man, the ruler of creation, has a right to take the life of the lower animals for his sustenance, so he may rightly make use of their suffering to discover means of reliev ing his pain and that of other living crea tures. Many scientific medical men have gone beyond this, and have offered in themselves examples of pain frankly under gone for the purpose of establishing truths in treatment or of assuring the recovery of the sick in their charge. It is of this aspect of the question that we Wish to speak. Take the latest example. A student of medioine in France has offered himself as a subject for inoculation by U Pasteur with the modified virus of hydrophobia, with a view of testing the protective efficacy of such Inoculation. It should be remembered that HL. "asteur, before resorting to this experiment on the human subject, has satisfied himself of its freedom from serious risk and of the immunity it con fers on dogs. The memory of another exam ple is yet recent in which a medical inspeotor of the local Government Board, with equal disregard to personal consequences, . vaccina ted himself with lymph notoriously diseased in order to prove or disprove the truth of the theory that the poison ot syphilis can be thus transferred.. Tfee founder of this surgical applicatipn' of chloroform ws himself the first person exposed to its influence. He was, moreover, one by no means so assured in health as to dread no danger in the trial. Ex amples of similar self-devotion might be mul tiplied. Probably the surgeons now alive who have cleared a patient's wind-pipe in tracheotomy by sucking out the diphtheritic membrane could not be counted on the fin gers. We can, on tne otner nana, recall a foolish prosecution ot two medical men by a father who demurred to being asked to per form this office for his dying child, not then known to have diphtheria. -Let -us. shortly shortly consider the quality of mind on which depends the merit of such courage as we have recorded. There is always something' noble in -self-sacrifice; there is more1 of truth than of falsehood in those natures which can sub mit to it. It is only just to admit that there are degrees in such nobility of action. - Not seldom it has been marred by the want of due necessity for it, by reckless indiscretion in its application, or by drawing ita inspira tion from a high bnt blind enthusiasm allied to pride, not deeply rooted in principle, and of short continuance. In quite another spirit does he proceed who endangers the well-being or his life to bring a"bout a salutary end, hav ing exhausted all other means and found them fruitless, who' gives' His health or life, while he still rejoices in tnem, bacause h is persuaded by eonseience, and not puffeeVup by pride, into the belief tnat ras- prawuiu gain thereby for him and others snail - oe greater than his loss.. This form of self -sacrifice alone is truly wise and heroic -self- denial. -MWhodiBt camp meeting will commence on the 18th of August. There are now about 200 cottages and society on the ground.

In enumerating the issues upon which the Republican party appeals for popular sup port, tne convention has been singularly ex plicit and felicitous. It has properly given the leading position to the industrial inter ests of the country as affected by the tariff on imports. On that question the two polit ical parties are radically in conflict. Almost the first act of the Republicans, when they came into power in 1861, was the establish ment of the principle of protection to Amer ican labor and to American capital. This principle the Republican party has ever since steadily maintained, while on the other hand the Democratic party in Congress has for fif ty years persistently warred upon it. Twice wiiuui uutt penoa. our opponents have de stroyed tariffs arranged for protection, em4 since the close of the civil war, whenever they have controlled the House of Represen tatives, hostile legislation has been attempt ed never more conspicuously than in their principal measure at the late session of Con- THE TARIFF QUESTION. Revenue laws are in their verv nature snh- ject to frequent revision in order that they may be adapted to changes and modifications of trade. The Republican party is not con tending for the supremacy of any particular statute. The issue between the two parties does not have reference to a specific law. It is far broader and far deeper. It involves a principle of wide application and beneficent influence, against a theory which we believe to be unsound in conception and inevitably hurtful in practice. In the many tariff revi sions which have been necessary for the past twenty-three years, or which may hereafter become necessary, the Republican party has maintained and will maintain the policy of protection to American industry, while our opponents insist upon a revision, which prac tically destroys that policv. The issue is thus distinct, well defined and unavoidable. The pending election may determine the fate of protection for a generation. The over throw of the policy means a large and per manent reduction in the wages of the Amer ican laborer, besides involving the loss of vast amounts of American capital invested in manufacturing enterprises. The value of the present revenue system to the people of the United States is not a matter of theory, and I shall submit no argument to sustain it. I only invite attention to certain facts of of ficial record which seem to constitute a de monstration. In the census of 1850 an effort was made. for the first time in our history, to obtain a valuation of all the property in the United States. The attempt was in a large degree un successful. Partly from lack of time, partly from prejudice among many who thought the inquiries foreshadowed a new scheme of taxation, the returns were incomplete and unsatisfactory. Little more was done than to consolidate the local valuation used in the States for purposes of assessment, and that, as everyone knows, differs widelv from a complete exhibit of all the property. in tne census or isou, nowever, tne wort was done with great thoroughness the dis tinction between "assessed" value and true" value being carefully observed. The grand result was that the "true value" of all the property in the States and territo ries (excluding slaves) amounted to four teen thousand millions of dollars ($14,000, 000,000.) This aggregate was the net result of the labor and the savings of all the people witnm tne area ot tne United states from the time the first British colonist landed in 1607 down to the year 1860. It represent ed the fruit of the toil of two hundred and fifty years. was encouraged and developed by a protec tive tariff. At the end of twenty years the total property of the United States, as re turned by the census of 1880, amounted to the enormous aggregate of forty-four thou sand millions of dollars ($44,000,000,000.) This great result was attained, notwithstand ing the fact that countless millions had in the interval been wasted in the progress of a bloody war. It thus appears that while our population between 1860 and 1880 increased sixty per cent., the aggregate property of the country increased two hundred and fourteen per cent. showing a vastly enhanced wealth per capita among the people. Thirty thou sand millions of dollars ($30,000,000,000) had been added during these twenty years to the permanent wealth of the nation. These results are regarded by the older na tions of the world as phenomenal. That our country should surmount the peril and the cost of a gigantic war and for an entire peri od of twenty years make an average gain to its wealth of one hundred and twenty-five million dollars per month surpasses the expe- j rience of all other nations, ancient or mod em. Even the opponents of the present rev enue system do not pretend that in the whole history of civilization any parallel can be found to the material progress of the United states, since the accession of the Republican party to power. The period between 1S80 and to-day has not been one of material prosperity only. At no time in tne .History ot the united States has there been Buch progress in the moral and philanthropic field. Religious and charitable institutions, schools, seminaries and colleges have been founded and en dowed far more generously than at any pre vious time in our history. Greater and more varied relief has been extended to human suffering and the entire progress of the coun try in wealth has been accompanied and dig nified by a broadening and elevation of our national character as a people. Our opponents find fault that our revenue system produces a surplus. But they should not forget that the law has given a specific purpose to which all of the surplus is profit ably and honorably applied the reduction of the public debt and the consequent relief of the burden of taxation. No dollar has been wasted, and the only extravagance with which the party stands charged is the gene rous pensioning of soldiers, sailors and their families an extravagance which embodies the highest form of justice in the recognition and payment of a sacred debt. When re duction of taxation is to be made, the Re publican party can be trusted to accomplish it in Buch form as will most effectively aid the industries of the nation. OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE. A frequent accusation by our opponents is that the foreign commerce of the country has steadily decayed under the influence of the protective tariff. In this way they seek to array the importing interest against the Republican party. It is a common and yet radical error to confound the commerce of the country with its carrying trade an error often committed innocently and sometimes designedly but an error so gross that it does not distinguish between the ship and the car go. " Foreign commerce represents the ex ports and imports of a country regardless of the nationality of the vessel that may carry the commodities of exchange. Onr carrying trade has from obvious causes suffered many discouragements since 1860, but our foreign commerce has in the same period steadily and prodigiously increased increased indeed at a rate and to an amount which absolutely dwarf all previous developmentsjof our trade beyond the sea. From 1860 to the present time the foreign commerce of the United States (divided with approximate equality between exports and imports) reached the astounding aggregate of twenty-four thou sand millions of dollars ($24,000,000,000.) The balance in this vast commerce inclined in our favor, lint it would have been much larger if our trade with the countries of America, elsewhere referred to, had been more wisely adjusted. It is diftioult even to appreciate the magni tude of our export trade since 1860; and we can gain a correct conception of it only by comparison of preceding results in the same field. The total exports from the. United States from the Declaration of Independence in 1776down to the dayof Lincoln's election in I860, .added to all that had previously been exported fro in the . American colonies from their original settlement, amounted to less than nine thousand millions of dollars j ($9,000,000,000). On the other hand our exports from 1860 to the close of the last fiscal year exceeded twelve thousand millions of dollars ($12,000,000,000) the whole of it being the product of American labor. Evi dently a protective tariff has not injured our export trade when, under its influence, we exported in twenty-four years forty per cent, more than the total amount that had been exported in the entire previous history of American commerce. All the detaita, when analyzed, correspond with this gigantic re sult. The commercial cities of the Union never had such growth as thev have eninved aince 1860. Our chief emporium, the citv of New York, with its dependencies, has within that period doubled her population and in creased her wealth five fold. During the same period the imports and exports which have entered and left her harbor are more than double in bulk and value the I whole amount imported and exported by her be tween the settlement of the first Dutch col ony on the island of Manhattan and the out break of the civil war in 1860. Agriculture and the Tariff The agricultural interest is by far the larg est in the nation, and is entitled in every adjustment of revenue laws to the first con? sideration. Any policy hostile to the fullest development of agriculture in the United States must he abandoned. Realizing this fact the opponents of the present system of revenue have labored very earnestly to per suade the farmers of the United States that they are robbed by the protective tariff, and the effort is thus made to consolidate their vast influence in favor of free trade. But happily the farmers of America are intelli gent and cannot be misled by sophistry when conclusive facts are before them. They see plainly that during the past twenty-four years, wealth has not been acquired in one section or by one interest at the expense of another Bection or another interest. They see that the agricultural States have made even more rapid progress than the manufacturing States. The farmers see that in 1860 Massachusetts and Illinois had aboot the mo wealth be. tween eight and nine hundred million dol lars each and that in 1880 Massachusetts had advanced to twenty-six hundred mil lions. They see that New Jersey and Iowa were just equal in population m I860 and that in twenty years the wealth of New Jer sey was increased by the sum of eight hun dred and fifty millions of dollars. They see that the nine leading agricultural States of the West have grown so rapidly in prosperity that the aggregate addition to their wealth since 1860 is almost as great as the wealth of the entire country in that year. They see that the South, which is almost exclusively agricultural, has shared in the general pros perity and that, having recovered from the de vastations of war, has gained so rapidly that its total wealth is at least the double of that which it possessed in 1860, exclusive of slaves. In these extraordinary developments the farmers see the helpful impulse of a home market, and they see that the financial and revenue system enacted since the Republican party came into power has established and constantly expanded the home market. They see that even in the case of wheat, which is our chief cereal export, they have sold, in the average of the years since the close of the war, three bushels at home to one they have sold abroad, and that in the case of corn, the only other cereal which we export to any extent, one hundred bushels have been used at home to three and a half bushels exported. In some years the dispar ity has been so great that for every peck of corn exported one hundred bushels have been consumed in the home market. The farmers see that in the increasing competition from the grain fields of Russia and from the dis tant plains of India, the growth of the home market becomes daily of greater concern to them and that its impairment would depre ciate the value of every acre of tillable land in the Union. Our Internal Commerce. Such facts as these touching the growth and consumption of cereals at home gtve us some slight conception of the vastness of the internal commerce of the United States. They suggest also that, in addition to the ad vantages which the American people . enjoy from protection against foreign competition, they enjoy the advantages of absolute free trade over a larger area and with a greater population than any other nation. The in ternal commerce of our thirty-eight States and nine Territories is carried out without let or hindrance, without tax, detention or governmental interferenca of any kind what ever. It spreads freely over an area of three and a half million square miles almost equal in extent to the whole continent of Europe. Its profits are enjoyed to-day by. fifty-six mil lions of American freemen, and from this en joyment no monopoly is created. According to Alexander Hamilton, when he discussed the same subject in 1790, "the internal com- lUViniVU TV IlXVli snwbvu .. . . A vs. every thing like monopoly, and by degrees reduces the prices of articles to the minimum of a reasonable profit on the capital employ ed." It is impossible to point to a monopoly in the United States that has been created or fostered by the industrial system which is up held by the Republican party. Compared with our foreign commerce these domestic exchanges are inconcoivably great in amount requiring merely as one instru mentality as large a mileage of railway as exists to-day in all the other nations of the world combined. These internal exchanges are estimated by the Statistical bureau of the Treasury department to be annually twenty times as great in amount as our foreign com merce. It isjnto this vast field of home trade at once the creation and the heritage of the American people that foreign nations are striving by every device to enter. It is into this field that the opponents of our pres ent revenue system would freely admit the countries of Europe countries into whose internal trade we eould not reciprocally enter; countries to which we should be surrendering every advantage of trade; from which we shall be gaining nothing in return. EFFECT UPON THE MECHANIC AND THE LABOR- A policy of this kind would be disastrous to the mechanics and workingmen of the United States. Wages are unjustly reduced when an industrious man is not able by his earnings to live in comfort, educate his chil dren, and lay by a sufficient amount for the necessities of age. The reduction of -wages inevitably consequent upon throwing our home market open to the world would de prive them of the power to do this. It would prove a great calamity to our country. It would produce a conflict between the poor and the rich, and in the sorrowful degrada tion of labor would plant the seeds of public danger. The Republican party has steadily aimed to maintain just relations between labor and capital guarding with care the rights of each. A conflict between the two has always led in the past and will always lead in the future to the injury of both. Labor is indis pensable to the creation and profitable use of capital, and capital increases the efficiency and value of labor. Whoever arrays the one against the other is an enemy to both. That policy is wisest and best which harmonizes the two on the basis of absolute justice. The Republican party has protected the free labor of America so that its compensation is larger than is realized in any other country. It has guarded our people against the unfair compe tition of contract labor from China and may be called upon to prohibit the growth of a similar evil from Europe. It is obviously un fair to permit capitalists to make contracts for cheap labor in foreign countries to the hurt and disparagement of the labor of Amer ican citizens. Such a policy, (like that which would leave the time and other conditions ofi home labor exclusively in the control of the employer,) is injurious to all parties not the least so to the unhappy persons who are made the subjects of the contract. The institu tions of the United States rest upon the in telligence and virtue of all the people. Suf frage is made universal as a just weapon of self-protection to every citizen. It is not the interest of the republic that any economic system should be adopted which involves the reduction of wages to the hard standard pre vailing elsewhere. The Republican party aims to elevate and dignify labor not to de grade it. ' As a substitute for the industrial system which under Republican administration has developed such extraordinary prosperity, our opponents offer a policy which is but a series of experiments upon our system of revenue a policy whose end must be harm to our manufactures and greater harm to our labor. Experiment in the industrial and financial system is the country's greatest dread, as stability is its greatest boon. Even the uncertainty resulting from the re cent tariff agitation inCongress has hurtfully affected the business of the entire country. Who can measure the harm to our shops and our homes, to our farms -and our com merce, if the uncertainty of perpetual tariff agitation is to be inflicted upon the country? We are in the midst of "an abundant harvest; we are on the eve of a revival of general pros perity. Nothing stands in our way. but the dread of a change in the industrial system which has wrought such wonders -in the last twenty years and which with the power of increased capital will work still greater mar vels of prosperity in the twenty years to come. OUR FOREIGN POLICY. Our foreign relations favor our domestic development. We are at peace with the world at peace upon a sound basis with no unsettled questions of sufficient magnitude to - embarrass or distract us.
