CLEVELAND'S LETTER. AT LAST.

[(JO.NT 1NLKD KKOM FIRST PAGE.]

burdens upon the people. Divers plans have been sungested for the return of this accumulated surplus to the people and the channels of trade. Some of these devices are at variance with all ruleB of good finance some are delusive, some are absurd, and some betray by their reckless extravagance, the demoralizing influence of a great surplus of public money upon the judgements of individuals. While such efforts should be made as are consistent with public duty and sanctioned by sound judge ment, to avoid danger by the useful disposition of the surplus now remaining in the treasury it is evident that were its distribution accomplished, another accumulation would soon take its place, if the constant How of redundant income was not checked at its source by a reform in our present tariff laws. We do not propose to deal with those conditions by attempting to Batisfy the people of the truth of abstract theories, uor by alone urging their assent to political doctrine. We present to them the propositions that they are unjustly treated in the extent of "present federal taxation, that as a result a condition of extreme danger exists, and that it is for them to demand a remedy and that defense and safety promised in the guarantees of their free government.

We believe that the same means which are adopted to relieve the treasury of its present surplus and prevent its recurrence, should cheapen to our people the cost of supplying their daily wants. Both of these objects we seek in part to gain by reducing the present tariff rates upon the necessaries of life.

We fully appreciate the importance to the country of our domestic industrial enterprise. In the rectification of existing wrongs their maintenance and prosperity should be carefully and in a friendly spirit considered. Even such reliance upon present revenue arrangements as have been invited or encouraged should be fairly and justly regarded. Abrupt and radical changes which might endanger such enterprises and injuriously affect the interests of labor dependent upon their success and continuance are not contemplated or intended. But we know the cost of our domestic manufactured products is increased and their price to the consumer enhanced by the duty imposed upon the saw material used in their manufacture. We know that this increased cost prevents the sale of our productions at foreign markets in competition with those countries which have the advan tage of free raw material. We know that contiaed to a home market our manufacture]ingoperations are curtailed, their demand for labor irregular and the rate, of wages paid uncertain We propose, therefore, to stimulate our domestic industrial enterprises by freeing from duty the imported raw materials which, by the employment of labor, are used in our home manufactures, thus extending the markets for their sale and permitting an increased and steady production with the allowance of abundant profits. True to the untie viating course of the Democratic party, we will not neglect the interests of labor and our workingmen. In all efforts to remedy existing evils we will furnish no excuse for the loss of employment or the reduction of the wage of honest toil. On the contrary we propose in any adjustment of our revenue laws to concede such encouragement and advantage to the employers of domestic labor as will easily compensate for any difference that may exist between the standard of wage which should be paid to our laboring men and the rate allowed in other countries. We propose, too, by extending the markets for our our manufacturers to promote the steady employment of labor, while by cheapening the cost of the necessaries of life we increase the purchasing power of the workingman's wages and add to the comforts of his home.

And before passing from this phase of the question, I am constrained to express the opinion that while the interests of labor should bo always sedulously regarded in any modification of our tariff laws, an additional and more direct and eflicient protection to those interests would be afforded by the. restriction and prohibition of the immigration or importation of laborers from other countries, who swarm upon our shores having no purpose or i'ntent of becoming our fellow-citizens or acquiring any permanent interest in our country, but who crowd every field of employment with unintelligent labor at wages which ought not to satisfy those who make claim to American citizenship. The platform adopted by the late national convention of our party contains the following declaration:

Judged by Democratic principles the Interests of the people ure, betrayed when by unnecessary taxation trusts and combinations are permitted and fostered which, while unduly enriching the few that combine, rob the body of our citizens by depriving them as purchasers of the benefits of natural competition."

Such combinations have always been condemned by the Democratic party. The declaration of its national convention is sincerely made, and no member of our party will be found excusing the existence or belittling the pernicious results of those devices to wrong the people. Under various mimes they have been punished by the common law for hundreds of years and they have lost none of their hateful features because they have assumed the name of trusts instead of conspiracies. We believe that these trusts are the natural offspring of a market artificially restricted that an inordinately high tariff, besides furnishing the temptation for their existence, enlarges the limit within which they may operate against the people, and thus increases the extent of their power for wrongdoing.' With an unalterable hatred of all such schemes, we count the checking of their baleful operations among the good results promised by revenue reform. While we cannot avoid partisan misrep resentation, our position upon the quertion of revenue reform should be so plainly stated as to admit of no miriunderstaoding. We have entered upon no crusade of free trade. The reform we seek to inaugurate is predicated upon the most care for established industries and enterprises, a jealous regard for the interests of American labor, and a sin cere desire to relieve the country from the injustice and damages of a condition which threatens evil to all the people of the land.

We are dealing with no imaginary danger. Its existence has been repeatedly confessed by all political parties, and pledges of a remedy have been made on all sides. Vet when in the legislative body, where under the constitutional remedial measures applicable to this subject must originate*, the Democratic majority were attempting with extreme moderation to redeem the pledge common to both parties, they were met by determined opposition and obstruction and, the minority refusing to cooperate in the house of representatives or propose another remedy, have remitted the redemption of their party

pledge to the doubtful power of the senate. The people will hardly be deceived by their abandonment of the field of legislative action to meet in political convention and flippantly declare in theii party platform that our conservative and careful effort to relieve the situation is destructive to the American system of protection. Nor will the people be misled by the appeal to prejudice contained in the absurd allegation that we serve the interests of Europe, while they will support tbe interests of America. They propose in their platform to thus support the interests of our country by removing the internal revenue tax, from tabacco and spirits used in the arts and for mechanical purposes. They declare also that there be such a revision of our tariff laws ss shall tend to check the importation of such articles as are produced here. Thus in proposing to increase the duties upon such articles to nearly or quite a prohibitory point they confess themselves willing to travel backward in the road of civilization and to deprive our people of the markets for their goods, which can only be gained and kept by the semblance, at least, of an interchange of business, while they abandon our consumers to the unrestrained oppression of the domestic trusts and combinations which are in the same platform perfunctorily condemned. They propose further to release entirely from import duties all articles. of foreign production (except luxuries) the like of which cannot be produced in this country. The plain people of the land and the poor, who scarcely use articles of any description produced exclusively abroad and not already free, will find it difficult to discover where their interests are regarded in this prop osition. They need in their homes cheaper domestic necessaries, and this seems to be entirely unprovided for in this proposed scheme to serve the country. Small compensation for this need is found in the further purpose here announced and covered by the declaration, that if after the changes al ready mentioned, there still remains a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, the entire internal taxation should be repealed, "rather than surrender any part of our protective system." Our people ask relief from the undue and unnecessary burden of tariff taxation now resting upon them. They are offered free tobacco and free whisky. They ask for bread and they are given a stone. The implication contained in this party declaration that desperate measures are justified or necessary to save from destruction or surrender what is termed our protective

Bystem,

should

confuse no one. The existence of such a system is entirely consistent with the regulation of the extent to which it should be applied, and the correction of its abuses.

Of course in a country as great as ours with such a wonderful variety of interests, often leading in entirely different directions it is diliicult if not impossible to settle upon a perfect tariff plan. But in accomplishing the reform we have entered upon, the necessity of which is so obvious, I believe we should not be content with a reduction of revenue involving the prohibition of importations and the removal of the internal tax upon whisky. It can be better and more safely done within the lines of granting actual relief to the people in their means of living, and at the same time giving an impetus to our domestic enterprises and furthering our national welfare. If misrepresentations of our purposes and motives are to gain credence and defeat our present effort in this direction there seems to be'no reason why every endeavor in the future to accomplish revenue reform should not be likewise attacked and with like results, and yet no thoughtful man can fail to see in the continuance of the present burden of the people, and the abstraction by the government of the currency of the country inevitable distress and disaster. All danger will be averted by timely fiction. The diflicultv of applying the remedy will never be less, and the blame should not be laid at the door of the Democratic party if it is applied too late.

With lirm faith in the intelligence and patriotism of our countrymen, and relying upon the conviction that misrepresentation will not influence them, prejudice will not cloud their understanding, and that menace will not intimidate them, let us .urge the people's interest and public duty for the vindication of our attempt to inaugurate a righteous and beneficent reform.

SKVEKELY BURNED.

Painful Injuries ltcceivcil By Miss Kniniii I.lit/., of Sontli Eleventh. From Sunday's Edition.

Yesterday morning Miss Emma Lutz, of south Eleventh street, was quite painfully burned by her dress taking fire. She was polishing a stove and using gasoline. The gasoline ignited and an explosion followed. Miss Lutz's face was burned but not badly. She lost part of her hair. Her dress took fire and her arms were quite badly burned from the hands to the elbow. She ran out of the house and called to her sister who lives in the adjoining house. The burning dress was speedily extinguished by her. The injuries are severe but there will be no disfigurement.

STUPENDOUS

THE GOVERNMENT CONTEMPLATES BUILDING AN OBSERVATORY ON PIKES PEAK.

Ten Thousand High.

Columbus starting out to discover America, Balboa discovering the Pacific Ocean, or the laying of the Atlantic cable, are insignilicent undertakings when compared with the scheme of the government to erect ou Pike's Peak an observatory ten thousand feet high The ground has been selected and at an early date active preparations will begin. The object of the observatory is to secure a bird's eye view of the groat Rocky Mountain Range and the Mississippi valley also to count the number of boats and vessels of all kinds which go in and out of New York harbor. The oflicers in charge of the observatory are to be dressed in suits made by Owens & Knight, H23}4 "Main street, who have all of the late /all and wiuter fabrics. It may be assorted that the government will not have a more handsomely dressed set of officials.
