President Harrison Accepts Republican Nomination.

After acknowleding tht* receipt of the notiflcatiou.br lit nomination, tin? president announces his acceptance, and his gratitude for the approval expressed by the convention of tho nets of his administration. He says that if tho policies of the administration have not beeu distinctively ami progressively American and republican iHlieics, tho fault has not been in tho purposu, but in the execution.

A Word tor JUs AiiiiiinUtriitlon* He discusses his own administration as an exponent of party policy and boldly .contrasts the positions of the two parties. The legislation of the Fifty-first congress is ably upheld, and it is the course of the Harrison administration in carrying out that legislation lor which indorsement is asked.

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

the

Synopsis of His Letter, in Which He Discusses the Various Issues of the Campaign.

A I.KNGTHV DOCUMENT.

'WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. President Harrison's letter accepting the republican nomination for the presidency wan made public Monday night. It is a lengthy document, comprising about 8,000 words, and touches upon all topics of interest to tin general public. A synopsis is here (riven: llo A('CC|IIK.

Aeeepts the Challenge.

Hesays: "A vote of want of conlldence is asked by our adversaries: and this challenge to a review of what has been done we promptly and gladly accept. The great work of the Fif-ty-first congress has been subjected to the revision of a democratic lu»sc representatives anil the acts of the executive department to its scrutiny and investigation. A democratic national administration was nuceeeded by ft republican administration, and the freshness of the events fives unusual facilities for fair comparison and judgment Thero has seldom been a time, I think, when a change from tho declared policies of the republican to the declared policies of the democratic party involved such serious results to the business interests of the country. A brief review of what has be»n done and of what the democratic party proposes to undo will justify this opinion."

UlS RfVil'W.

He refers to the establishment of tho national bank system and theextincikm of the state banksystcm. hv the levying of a tax upon the issuoof the latter, and .says that the democratic party is phnlgcd to a repeal of the state bank tax, and warns the people of the danger of such action, which, he says will result in Hooding the country with currency neither safe nor acceptable.

Referring to the occan carrying trade the president says that the hostility of the democratic party is shown by its refusal to "expend an appropriation made during the last administration for ocean mail contracts with American lines. The patriotic people, tho workmen in our shops, the capitalists seeking new enterprises, must decide whether the great ships owned by Americans, which have sought American registry, shall again humbly ask a place in the English naval reserve: the great ships now on the designers' tables go to foreign shops for construction, and the United States loses the now brightening opportunities of recovering a place commensurate with its wealth, the skill of its constructors and the courage of its suilorsin the currying trade of all the seas."

Tim Reciprocity Policy.

"Another related measure furnishing increased ocean truffle for our ships and of great and permanent benefit to the farmers and manufacturers as well, is the reciprocity declared by section 3 of the tariff act of 1890 and now in practical operation with live of the nations of Ceutral and South America, San Domingo, tho Spanish and British West India islands, and with Germany and Austria under special trade arrangements with each. "Great oredit is due to Mr. Blaine lor the vigor with which ho pressed this view upon tho country. We hare only begun to realize the benefit ot these trade arrangements. The work of creating new agencies and of adapting our goods to new markets has necessarily taken time but the results already attained urcsuch, 1 am sure, as »o establish in popular favor the policy of reciprocal trade, based upon the free importation of such articles us do not injuriously compete with tho products of our own farms, mines or factories, in exchunge for the free or favored introduction of our products into other countries. The most convincing evidence of the tremendous commercial strength of our position is found in the fact that Great Britain and Spain have tound it neeecsary to make reciprocal trade agreements with us for their West India colonies, and that Germany and Austria have given us important concessions lu exchange for the continued tree importation of their beetsugar product.

Details as to the increase of our trade through reciprocity are given, and the president then say: "The democratic platform promises a repeal of the tarill law containing this provision and especially denounces as a sham reciprocity that section of the law under which these trade arrangements have been made. If no other issue were ft vol red in the campaign, this alone would give it momentous importance. Are the farmers of the great grain-growing states willing to surrender these new. large and inc sing markets for their surplus!' Are we to have nothing in exchange for ihe free importation of sugar and coffee and at the same time to destroy the sugar planters of the south and the beetsugar industry of the uorthwest aud of the Pacific coast or are we to have the taxed sugar and coffee, which a 'tariff for revenue only' neccssurily Involves, with the added loss of the new markets which have been opened? "As I have shown, our commercial rivals in

Europe do not regard this reciprocity as a 'sham,1 but as a serious throat to the trade supremacy they have long enjoyed. They would rejoice—and if prudencc did not restrain would illuminate their dopressed manufacturing cities—over the news that the United States had abandoued Its system of protection and reciprocity. They see very clearly that restrictions of American products and trade and a corresponding increase of Kuropean production and trade would follow, and I will not believe that what is so plain to them can be hidden from our own people.

Heartily Approve® Protection. "The declaration of the platform in favor of 'the American doctrine of protection' meeu my most hearty approval. The convention did not adopt

a

schedule but a principle that is to oon-

trol all the tariff schedules. There may bo differences of opinion among protectionists a* to the rate upon particular articles necessary to effoct an equalization between wages abroad and at homo. In some not remote national campaigns the issue has been—or, more cor* rectly, has been made to appear to be—* betweon

a

high and a low protecttvo tariff,

both parties expressing some solicitous regard for the wages of our worklug people and for the prosperity of our domestio industries. But under a more oourageous leadership the democratic party has now practically deolared that, If given power.it will enact a

tariff law without any regard to its effect upon wagf or upon the capital invested iu our great Indus tries."

Tho president at great, length discusses the influences oj the existing tariff law upon the in* rests of capital and labor, ami says: "No intelligent advocate oJ a protective "tariff claims iftt it is able (if itself to maintain a uniform

He of wages without regard to fluctuations 1n uie supply of und demand for the products of »uboi\ but it is confidently claimed that protective duties strongly tend to hold up wages und are the only barrier against a reduction to the Kuropean scale. "One of the favorite arguments against a pro tective tariff is that it«h»'ts us out from a participation in what is called, with swelling etn* pbusih, 'the markets of the world.' If »h view

is not a false one, how does it happen that our commercial competitors are not able to bear with more serenity our supposed surrender to them of the markets of the world,' and how does it happen that tho partial loss of our market closes foreign tin-plate mills and plush factories that still have all other mar* kets? Out natural advantages, our protective tariff and the reciprocity policy make it impossible for us to have a largo participation in the markets of the world without,opening our own to a competition that would destroy the comfort and independence of our jwople."

Opposition to Free Coinage. The fact, that there is not much differenco between the platforms of thu two parties in regard to silver accounts for the brief space which the president gives the subject. It is enough, however, to emphasize his unalterable opposition 10 free coinage under present conditions, because this would benefit, other countries at the expense of the. United Stales. Ho is hopeful of practical results from the international conference which his administration has arranged.

Hcgulutiou of KlectloriK.

On the so called "force bill" the president takes his stand for honest elections, but he does not suggest extreme legislation. Instead, ho repeals what he said in bis annual message about the desirability of a non partisan commission. which would be able to see that substantial justice Is done in all federal elections. In his discussion of the subject he cites tho recent Alabama election where there was uo republican ticket in the Held, as a striking illustration of what he terms a system which furnishes no security for personal or political rights. He says he will again urge upou congress that provisions bo made for the appointment of a non-partisan commission to Consider the subject of appointmoms and elections in their relation to tho choice of federal otticers.

Opposed to a Change of Policies. "When public affairs have beeu given a direction and 'business has adjusted itself to those lines any sudden change involves stoppage and new business adjustments. It the change of .direction is so radical as to bring the commercial turn-table into use the business changes involved arc not readjust* inents. but reconstructions. The democratic party offers a programme of demolition. The protective policy, to which all business, even that of the importer, is now adjusted: the reciprocity policy, tho new merchant marine, are all to be demolished—not gradually, not taken down, but blown up. To this programme of destruction it has added one constructive feature, the ree9tablishment of stato banks of isnuo. "The policy of the republican party is. on tho other hand, distinctively a policy of safe progression aud development—or new factories, new markets and new ships. It will subject business to no perilous changes, but offers attractive opportunities for expansion upon familiar lines. Very respectfully yours, "BENJAMIN HAUHISON."

A DESOLATE CITY.

Mreeu and Public Places In Hamburg Dcnorted Except by Ambulancos and Hearses. liEllMN, Sept. 7.—Dr. Veuz, of Hamburg, gives a graphic description of the sad condition of that. city. The old town, he says, is a collection of dirty, stifling, crowded charnel houses. The Alter .langfersticg is desolate, the Alster pavilion deserted. Thero are lew tram cars and they are almost empty. The whole city is in dreary and disheartening contrast to what it was. The three-lined Spielbudenplatz is unfrequented and an oppressive stillness hangs over it. The cafes are empty. One head waiter who serves at a restaurant where formerly •J.OdO persons ale daily told the physician that eighteen customers had been there up to 0 p. m. In passing the strasse lie saw a crowd and six polieemeu holding it in check while six women ran screaming down the road after ambulances which were bearing their husbands away to the cholera hospital. Occupants of houses, he says, often run out iu the street and beseech passing policemen to send ambulances to remove patients: but the police cannot accede to their appeals, as the ambulance service is quite inadequate to the demands upon it. At night. Dr.

Veil/, says, the streets are completely deserted by pedestrians, although ambulances and wagous and hearses can Lie heard passing almost constantly.
