HARRISON'S LETTER.

The President Formally Accepts the Renomination of fcffV 'His Party.

Itodproeltr, Tariff*. Silver Md Other Iuuti Presented in the Political Platforms Discussed.

Following condensation of Presideut Harrison's letter accepting the Republican nomination for the office of Pres ident of the United States:

I accept the nomination, and am grateful for the approval expressed by the convention of the acts of lite administration I have endeavored, without wavering or weariness, so far as the direction of public affairs was committed to me, to carry out the pledges made to tiie people in 1888. If the policies of the administration have not been distinctively and progressively American and Republican poiicios, the fault has not been in the purpose, but in the execution.

The great work of the Fifty-first Con rgress has been subjected to the revision of a Democratic House of Representatives, and the acts of the executive department to its scrutiny and investigation. A Duin ocratic national administration was succeeded by a Republican administration, and the freshness of events gives unusual facilities for fair comparison and judgment. There has seldom beef) a time, I thin if. when a chango from the 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 been done,and of what the Democratic party pxoposes to undo will justify this opinion.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

The Republican party, during tho civil war, devised a national currency, consistlug of United States notes, issued and redeemable by the government, and of national bank notes, based upon the security of United States bonds. A 1.ax was levied upon tho issues of Slate banks, and the intended result,that all such issues should be withdrawn, was realized. There are men among us now who never saw a State bank note. The notes furnished ''directly or indirectly by the United States have been the only and the safe acceptable paper currency of the people. Bank failures have brought no fright, delay or loss to their holders. The note of an insolvent banic is as good and as current as a treasury note—for the credit of the United States is behind it. Our money is all national money—I might aimost say international, for the bills are not only equally KA and indiscriminately accepted at par in all 1 tho States, but in some foreign countries.

The Democratic party, if entrusted with 1 the control of the Government, is now pledged to repeal the tax on State bank

4«

Issues, with a view to putting into circulatioa again, under such diverse legislation as the States may adopt, a flood of +, bank issues. Only those who, in tho years

before the war, experienced tho incouvenVI leuce and losses attendant upon the use of such money can appreciate what a return to that system involves. Tho denomination of a bill was then often no indication its value. Tho batik detector of yester-3-4 day was not a safe guide to-day. Changes may become necessary, but a national system of currency, sale and acceptable throughout the whole country, is the good fruit of bitter experiences, and I am sure our people will not consent to Lhe reactionary proposal made by the Democratic party.

E O E I N E S I E O E S E A Few subjects have elicited more discus" sion or excited more general interest than S, that of recovery by tho United States of its appropriate share of the ocean carry-

This-subject touches not only

k,u*.-^_,.)cKots but our .National pride. Practically all the freights for transportation to Europe, the enormous annual supplies of provisions furnished by this country, and for tho large return of manufactured products, have for many years been paid to foreign ship-owners. Tho undisputed fact is that the great steamship lines of luirope were built up and are now in part sustained by director indirectGovernment

aid—the latter taking the form of liberal fV.f pay for carrying the mails, or of an aiinual bonus given in consideration of agreeinents to construct the ships so as to adapt •di/4" them for carrying an armament and to

turn them over to Lhe Government on demaud upon such specified terms. It will be plain to every intelligent American that if tho United States would have such lines a similar policy must be entered upon. The Fifty first Congress enacted such a law, and under its beneficent influence sixteen American steamships, of an aggregate tonnage of 50,4)0 tons, costing 17,400,000, have been built or contracted to be built in American shipyards. The Democratic party has found no place in its platform for any reference to this subject and has shown its hostility to the general policy by refusing to extend an appropriation made during the last a:lministration for ocean mail contracts with American lines. The patriotic people, the workmen in our shops, tho capitalists seeking new enterprises, must decide whether the great ships owned by Ainerieans, which have sought American regis try, shall again humbly ask a place in the English naval reserve, tho meat ships now on the designer's tables go to foreign shops for construction, and tho United JStatos lose the now brightening oppor.tu Jirty of recovering a place commensurate v, with its wealth, the skill of its constructors and the courage of its sailors, in tho carrying trade of all tho seas

RECIPROCITY'S GREAT BENEFITS. Another related measure, as furnishing 4 an increased ocean tra lie for our ships and of great and permanent benefit to the farmers and manufacturers as well, is the reciprocity policy declared by Section 3 of the tarifl act of 1890, and now in pract ical

operation with five of tho nations of Central and South America, San Domingo, the Spanish and Hritish YVest India islands and with Germany and Austria, under special trade arrangements with each,

Tho removal of the duty on sugar and the continuance of coffee and tea on tho freo list, while giving great relief to our own people by cheapening articles used Increasingly in every household, was also of such enormous advantage to the countries exporting the articles as to suggest that in consideration thereof reciprocal favors should be shown in their tariffs to articles exported by us to their markets. Great credit is due to Mr. Maine for the vigor with which he pressed this viow upon the country. We havo only bdgtin to realize tho benefit of these trade arrangements. The work of creating new agencies and of adapting our goods to new markets has necessarily taken time hut the results already attained are such, I am sive, as to establish in popular favor the policy of reciprocal trade, based upon tiio free importation of such articles a-i do is not injuriously completo with the product's of our farms, mines or factories.

Tho Democratic platform promises a repeal of the tariff law containing this pros'." vision, and especially denounces as "sham "reciprocity" that, section of the law under which those trado arrangements havo been made. If no other issue were in

volved

in the campaign this alone would

•lye it momentous importance. Are tho farmers of tho great grain-growing States willing to surrender these new, large and Increasing markets for their surplus! Are to liave nothing in exchange for the free importation of sugar and of coffee, and at the same time destroy the sugar planters of the South and tho beet sugar industries of the Nbrthwest and of the pacific coast: or are wo to have the taxed ^•uaar and coffee which a "tariff forrev-

enue only" necessarily Involves, with the added loss of the new markets which have been opened.

THE TARIFF ISSUE.

The declaration of the platform in favor of "the American doctrino of protection" meets my most hearty approval. The convention did not adopt a schedule,but a principle that is to control all tariff schedules. There may be differences of opinion among protectionists as to the rate upon particular articles necessary to effect an equalization between wages abroad and at home. In some not remoLo national cam-

Fy,

iaigns the issue has been,or, more correctmade to appear, to be between a high and low protective tariff, both parties expressing some solicitous regard for tho wages of our working people and for the prosperity of our domestic industries. JJut under a more courageous leadership tho Democratic party has now practically declared that, if given power, it will enact a tariff law without any regard to its effect upon wages or upon tho capital invested in our gteafc industries. The majority report of the eommitteo on platform to the Democratic national convention at Chicago contained this clause:

That when custom-house taxation is levied upon articles of any kind produced in this country the difference between the cost of labor here and abroad, when such a difference exists, fully measures any possible benefits to labor and the' enormous additional impositions of the existing tariff fall with crushing force upon our farmers and workingnien.

Here we have a distinct admission of tho Republican convention that American workmen are advantaged by a tariffrate equal to the difference between home and foreign wages, and a declaration only against tho alleged "additional impositions" of the existing tariff law. Again this majority report further declared:

Rut, in making a reduction in taxes, it is not proposed to injure any domestic industries, but rather to promote their healthy growth. Moreover,many industries have come to rely upon legislation for successful continuance, so that any change ot law must be at overy step regardful of the labor and the capital thus iinolved.

Here we have an admission that many of our industries depend upon protective duties for their successful continuance, and a declaration that tariff changes should be regardful of the workmen in such industries and of the invested capital.

Tho overwhelming rejection of these propositions, which had before received the sanction of Democratic national conventions, was not more indicative of tho new and more courageous leadership to which the party has now committed itself than the substitute which was adopted. This substitute declares that protective duties are unconstitutional high protection, low protection, all unconstitutional. A Democratic Congress holding this view cannot enact or a Democratic President approve any tariff schedule the purpose or effect of which is to limit importations or to giye any advantage to an American workman or producer. There is not a thoughtful business man in tho couniry who does not know that tho enactment into law of the declaration of the Chicago convention upon thesubjcctof tariff would at once plunge the country into a business convulsion such as it has never seen, and there is not a thoughtful workingman who does not know that it would at once enormously reduco the amount of work to be done in this country, by the increase of importations that would follow, and necessitate a reduction of his wages to the European standard. If any one suggests that this radical policy will not bo executed if the Democratic party attains the power, what shall bo thought of a party that is capable of thus trifling with great interests?

THE PRESENT TARIFF LAW. An examination into the effect of the tariff law upon the prices of protected products and the cost of such articles as enter into the living of people with small means has been made by a Senate composed of leading Senators of both parties, with the aid of the best statisticians, and the report, signed by all the members of the committee, has been given to the public. No such careful inquiry has ever before been made. These facts appear from tho report:

First—Tho cost of articles entering into the use of those earning less than 1,000 per annum has decreased up to May, 1892, H.4 per cent, while in farm products there has been an increase in prices, owing in part to an increased foreign demand and the opening of new markets. In England, during the same poriod, the cost of living increased 1.0 per cent. Tested by their power to purchase articles of necessity, the earnings of our working people have never been as great as they arc now.

Second—There has been an average advance of tho rate of wages of .75 of 1 per ceut.

Third—There has been an advance in the price of all farm products of 10.8 per cent., and on all cereals 3:$.r'.» per cent.

The ninth annual report of the Chief of tho Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of New York, a Democratic officer, very recently issued.strongly corroborates as to that State the facts found by the Senate committee. His extended inquiry shows that in the year immediately following tho passage of the tariff act of 18.0 the aggregate sum paid in wages in that, State was St,.'177,125 in excess, and tho aggregate production $3l,315.,lo0 in excess of the preceding year.

In view of this showing of an increase in wages, of a reduction in the cost of articles of common necessity, of a marked advance in tho prices of agricultural products, it is plain that the tariff law lias not imposed burdens, but has conferred benefits upon the farmer and the workingman.

THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.

Some special effects of the act should be noticed. It was a courageous attempt to rid our people of along maintained foreign monopoly in the production of tin plate, pearl buttons, silk plush, linens, lace, etc. Onco or twice in our history the production of tin plato has been attempted, and tho prices obtained by tho Welsh makers would, have enabled our makers to produce it at a pro lit. Rut the Welsh makers at onco cut prices to a point over which the American beginners at tho business could not compete, and, this accomplished, they again raised prices.

Rut, in spite of the doubts raised by the elections of 18(H), and the machinations of foreign producers to maintain their monopoly, the tin plate industry has been established in the United States, and the allianco between the Welsh producers and tho Democratic party for its destruction will not succeed.

HAS IJENKKITTED AT.I, WORKINGMEN.

Another industry that has been practically created by the McKinley bHl is the making of pearl buttons. Few articles coming to us from abroad were so distinctly the product of starvation wages. I cannot follow in detail the influences of the tariff law of 18'J0. It has transplanted several important industries and established them here and has revived or enlarged all others. The act gives to the miners protection against foreign silver bearing lead ores tho free introduction of which threatened the mining industry of the Rocky mountain States and to the wool-growers protection for their fleeces and flocks, which wore threatened with a further and disastrousdeclino. The house of Representative at its last session passed bills placing those ores and wool upon tho freo list. Tho peoplo of the West jvell know how destructive to their prosperity these measures would be.

THOSE "MARKETS OF THE WORLD." Ono favorite argument against a protective tariif Is that it shuts us out from a participation in what is callcd. with swelling emphasis, "tho markets of the world." If this view is not a false one, .liow 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 the partial loss of our market closes foreign tin plate mills and plush factories that still have all other markets? Our natural advantages, our protective tariff and the reciprocity policy make it possible for us to have a large participa* tion in the "markets of the wgggrl" without opening out owu to.cam ^cion that tfould would destroy the comfort and independence of our JN ation.

The resolution "of the convention in favor of biuietali'sm declares, I think,..the true and necessary conditions of"4"movement that has, upou these lineq, my cordial adherence .add support. I am* thoroughly convinced that the free coinage of silver at such a ratio to gold as will maintain the equality in their commercial uses of the two coined- dollars, would conduce to the prosperity of all the great producing and commercial nations of the world. The one essential condition is that these dollars shall have and retain an equal acceptability and value in all commercial transactions. The monetary conditions in Europe within the last two years have, 1 think, tended very much to develop a sentimont in favor of a larger use of silver, and! was much pleased.and encouraged by tho cordiality, promptness and unanimity with which tho invitation of this government for an international conference upon the subject was accepted by all the powers. We may not only hope for, but expect highly benolioitil results from this conference, which will now soon assemble. When tho result of the conference is known, we shall then bo able intelligently to readjust our linancial legislation to any new conditions.

THE ALABAMA ELECTION OUTRAGE. Many times I have had occasion to say that laws and election methods, designed to give unfair advantage to tho party making them, would some time be used to perpetuate in power a faction of a party against th« will of a majority of the people. Of this we seem to have an illustration in the recent State election in Alabama. There was no Republican ticket in the field. The contest was between white Democrats. Tho Kolb party say they were refused the representation guaranteed by the law upon tho election boards and that, when the courts, by mandamus,attempted to right this wrong, an appeal that could not be heard until after the election made the writs ineffectual. Our old Republican cry, "A frea ballot and a fair count," comes back to us not only from Alabama, but from other States, and 1 shall again urge upon Congress that provision be made for the appointment of a non-partisan commission to consider the subject of apportionments and elections in their relation to the choice of federal officers. EDUCATION AND LIBERTY OF THOUGHT.

The approval so heartily given by the convention to all those agencies which contribute to tho education of tho children of the land was worthily bestowed and meets my hearty approval, as does also the declaration as to liberty of thought and conscience and the separation of church and State. The safety of the Republic is an intelligent citizenship, and the increased tnterest manifested in tho States in education, the cheerfulness with which the necessary taxes arc paid by all classes, and tho renewed interest manifested by the children in the National flag are hopeful indications that the coming generation will direct public affairs with increased prudence and patriotism. Our interest in free public scnools. open to all children of suitable age, is supreme, ar.d our care for them will be jealous and constant. Tho public school system, however, was not intended to restrain the natural right of the parent, alter contributing to the publiiSchool fund,to choose other educational agencies for his children.

FOR THE FARMER TO CONSIDER. The tariff bill of 1890 gives better protection to the farm products subject to foreign com potion than they had ever before and the home markets for such products have been enlarged by the establishment of new industries and the development of others. Wo may confidently submit to tho intelligentandcandid judgment of tho American farmer whether in any corresponding period, so much has been done to promote his interests and whether, in a continuance and extension oT these methods, there is not abetter prospect of good to him than in the invitation of the Democratic party to give our home market to foreign manufacturers and abandon the reciprocity policy and better also than the radical and untried methods of relief proposed by other parties which are soliciting his support.

I havo often expressed my opinion on the value of the Nicaragua ship canal to our commerce and to our navy. The project is not one of convenience, but of necessi ty.

It has been the aim of the administration to make its foreign policy not a matter of partisan politics, tut of patriotism and National honor, and I have very great gratification iu being ablo to state that the Democratic members of the committee on foreign affairs responded in a true American spirit. I have not hesitated to consult with those about tho most confidential and delicate affairs, and I frankly confess my obligation for needed co-opera-tion. They did not regard a patient but firm insistence upon American rights, and upon immunity from insult and injury for our citizens and sailors in foreign lands as a policy of "irritation and bluster." The Chilian incident, now so happily and honorably adjusted, will, I do not doubt, placo our relations with that brave peoplo upon a more friendly basis than ever before, This already appears in the agreement since negotiated by Mr. Egan for tho settlement by a commission of tho long-un-settled claims between the two Governments. Tho work of Mr. Egan lias been highly advantageous to the United States. The confidenco which I refused to withdraw from him has been abundantly justified.

In our relations with the great European powers, the rights of ..tho United States and of our citizens have been insisted upon with lirmness. The strength of our cause, and not tho strength of our adversary.lias given tono to our correspondence. The Seamoan question and the Retiring sea question, which came over from the preceding administration have been, tho one settlod and the other submitted to arbitration upon a fair basis. Never before I think, in a like poriod, have so many important treaties and commercial agreements been concluded, and never before, 1 am sure, have the honor and influence, national and commercial, of tho United States been held iu higher estimation in both hemispheres.

TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS.

The Union soldiers and sailors are now veterans of time as well as of war. Tho parallels of age have approached close to the citadels of life and the end, for each, of a brave and honorable struggle is not remote. Increasing infirmity aud years give the minor tones of sadness aud pathos to the mighty appeal of service and snf fering. Tho ear that docs not listen'with sympathy and tho heart that does not rospoiul with a generosity arc the ear and heart of an alien and not of an American. Now, soon again, the surviving veterans are to parade upon tho great avenue of the national capital, and every tribute of honor aud love should attend the march. A comrade in tho column of tho victors' parade iu 1315, I am not less a comrade now.

I have used every suitahlo occasion to urge upon tho peoplo of all sections tho consideration that no good cause can bo

Blobs

roinotod upon tho lines of lawlessness, do not discriminate, and the punishments inHicied by tlioin havo no repressive or salutary influence.

The m,oral sentiment of the country should be aroused and brought, to boar for

the suppression of these offenses against the law and social order. The necessity for a careful discrimination among the emigrauts seeking our shores becomes every day more appareuiS We do not want and should not receive those who by reason of bad character or habits are not wanted at home. The industrious and self respecting, the lovers of law and liberty, should be discriminated from the pauper, the criminal and the Anarchist, who come only to burden and disturb our communities. Every effort has been made to enforce tho laws, and soui$convictions have been secured under tho contract labor law. "The general condition of our country is one of great prosperity. The blessing of God has rested upon our people. The annual value of our foreigu commerce has increase more than 540 ,0)0,000 over the average for the preceding ten years, and more than $210,000,00*1 ovor 1890, the last year unaffected by the new tariff.

It is not possible for me to refer even in the briefest way to many of the topics presented in the resolutions adopted by tho convention. Upon all that have not been discussed I have before publicly expressed my views. A change in tho personnel of a national administration is of comparatively little moment. If those exercising public functions are able, honest, diligent and faithful, others possassing all these qualities may bo found to take their places. Rut changes in tho laws and in administrative policies are of great moment. When public affairs have been given a direction and business has adjusted itself to thoso lines, any sudden change involves stoppage and new business adjustments, if the change of direction is so radical as to bring the commercial turn-table into use, tho business changes involved are not readjustments but reconstructions.

The Democratic, party offers a programme of demolition. The protective policy—to which all business, even that of the importor, is now adjusted—the reciprocity policy, the new merchant marine, are all to bo demolished—not gradually, not taken down, but blown up. To this programme of destruction it has added one constructive feature, the re-establish-ment of State banks of issue.

The policy of the Republican party in, on the other hand, distinctively a policv of safe progression and development—of 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 HARRISON.

FEWER SUNDAY FUNERALS,

The Custom of Interring on the Sabbath is Falling into Disuse.

Indianapolis News.

Chas. T. Whitsetfc, who recently returned to this city from a twomonths' tour in the East, during which he visited most of the principle cities and spent several days in each consulted with funeral directors, has gathered a number of interesting facts regarding Sunday funerals, or rather the general tendency in that part of the country to abolish them.

He learned from the leading firms in this business in Philadelphia that in the past year Sunday funerals have almost been done away with, and that not more than half a dozen, including those who died from contagious diceases, have occured in that time. For a long time the funeral directors of that city worked for that purpose without achieving success. Finally, about a year ago, Archbishop Ryan, of the diocese of of Philadelphia, who practically controls three Catholic cemeteries, issued a circular letter to his parishioners that no permits for Sunday burials in the cemeteries would be issued thereafter, except in instances where the Board of Health deemed it necessary, and in such cases only a funeral car, and four carriages would be allowed within the gates. Four months after this the authorities of Woodland, the principal Protestant cemetery, issued a similar order, and it is said that the Mayor will decline to issue permits for any band of music to play on the streets for Sunday funerals. In former years one-third of the funerals were held on Sunday.

A marked decrease of Sunday funerals was reported at New York, though the custom still prevails to a great extent. Brooklyn funeral directors did not seem inclined to discourage Sunday funerals, as they learn it would give them more than they could do on Saturdays and Mondays. In Baltimore both the ministers and funeral directors are discouraging Sunday funerals, and a constant decrease in their number was reported. Out of forty funerals conducted by one firm, in January, only three were on Sunday, and another firm reports about one-fifth as many as formerly. In Washington the number has fallen oft' one half, but it is noted'that'the minister who was first to advocate the re'orm was the first to give in. In Pittsburg Sunday funerals are said to be growing constantly less in number.

There is also a tendency note'd towards simpler funeral services ahd a less number of carriages. In some instances only the family go to the cemetery, and in bad weather only the male members. In this way two carriages are frequently sufficient for a well-to-do family. In many instances the funerals are held on the evening before the day of the burial. This permits friends of the family from all parts of the city and lodges and organiztions to be present with out the loss of time from business. In such cases the funeral itself is always private. These evening services are always brief, not occupying more than twenty or thirty minutes, and the minister always concludes them at the house, never going to the cemetery.

Origin of State Names.

King George II. of England, was the sponsor for the Southern State of Georgia.

Kentucky's name is derived from Kentuckee, an Indian name, meaning the head of a river.

Mississippi is from the Indian Meesyeedee, meaning not the "father of waters," but the great water.

Missouri was named from a river. The word is from the Indian Min-he-sho-shay, signifying muddy wt»Ur.
