WIUTELAW REID ACCEPTS The Republican Candidate for Vice President Writes a Letter. An Which II© K«\i©\va tho Issue of til© Campaign aiul Accept© tho Nomination. Mr. VVbltelaw Held's letter accepting She nomination for Vico President on the Republican ticket was Issued to the press on the lulh, lie says: When tho nomination with which.the National convention had honored me was lormally announced hy your committee, 1 accepted it at once. In doing so 1 accepted also the principles set forth in the ruselutions adopted by tho convention as the basis of its appeal to the popular suffrage. To do other or less than this, to any Honorable man, is an impossibility. A political party is an association of citizens seeking to have tho government conducted in accordance with its views and presenting candidates whom it strives to elect for that purpose. To accept its nomination without intending to carry o it its principles would lie as dishonorable and criminal as to procure goods under false pretenses. It is obvious that, in tho common judgment of Ills people In all parts of the conn try, the really vital issues which this year divide parlies and demand a popular decision, are those relating to the tariff and tho currency. Fortunately both sides have stated tbolr positions on these subjects with directness,simplicity and frankness. The.issues thus made between tho rival candidates for the popular suffrage aro specially sharp and distinct. Wo favor a protective tariff, and when In full power, made the present one. Our opponents favor a tariff for revenue only and promise the repeal of the present one. Wo maintain that the tariff should cov■er the difference in the cost of the, home and foreign product, caused by tho difference in the home and foreign wages for the labor employed upon it. Our opponents distinctly repudiate the proposition that American wages should be considered in lh« matter and declare instead that a tariff levied for anything but revenue only was unconstitutional. As the London Times of Sept. 28 very naturally remarked: ‘'This policy, if fairly and logically carried out, Is not to be distinguished from free trade, in the practical form in which wo are familiar with it.” Jf protective duties are unconstitutional, as was assorted at Chicago, no financial legerdemain can produce any other readjustment than that which would naturally follow tho removal of all Imposts tending to blosler particular branches of industry and commerce. Should tiie American people now choose tho Republican candidates, the present tariff would stand, or, when amended, would only be so changed as to insure a closer conformity in practice to tho principles on which it was made. If onr opponents are chosen, their Congress is pledged to tho repeal of the present tariff, and to tho adoption of one a ranged for revenue only, and the executive is pledged to tho doctrine that a tariff having regard also for American wages is unconstitutional, so that the only new one that could escape the Presidential veto must be of the kind which tho London Times considers equivalent to free trade. We maintain that tho present tariff has worked well; that it has developed American manufactures, steadied and increased American wages, and promoted the general prosperity. Our opponents deny that there has been any increase of jr.isperity under tho present tariff, declare that wages have been reduced, and denounce the Republican policy, which, as they say, fosters no other industry as much as that of the sheriff. Wo favor tlio system by which, when we think the country ready for the reduction or abolition of duties, wo insist upon petting corresponding and reciprocal advantages from foreign countries as the condition of their enjoying these advantages in our own markets. Our opponents denounce this reciprocity as a shatti; and. therefore. Infcreutluily pledge themselves to its repeal. Tho sharp Issues thus presented for the ■decision of the American people cover more comprehensively and more specially than ever before tho whole range of considerations relating to a protective tariff, its constitutionality, Us expediency, its relation to wages, its practical workings, and the question whether, as it is from time to time reduced, wo should throw away the advantages thus extended to foreign nations or should get something tn return for them. Mr. Reid then argues at considerable length to prove the constitutionality of protection laws. He continues: The expediency of a protective tariff has been vindicated bv the experience of the last, thirty years—the most wonderful period of financial success over unheard of difficulties in the record of modern civilization. Under it and by its aid the Republican management of onr finances has resulted in tho largest payment of a national debt in the shortest time known to history, and In tho simultaneous development of the Industries of tho country and the prosperity of tho people on a scale without a parallel. Right years ago. in a masterly public paper, James O. Blaine called attention to the revelations of the United Stales census as to tho net results of the labor and savings of tho American people under the system of a protective tariff. Tho' true value” of all the propirty in tho United States, excluding slaves, was set down In the census of 18C0 at $110(0,000,003- that being what there was to show for tho toil of 250 years. With tho success of the Republican party that year the protective policy which has since prevailed was introduced. In the census of 1S£0 the true value of the property in the United States tvai sot down at 1,000,000,000. making an increase in these twenty years of Republican protection of $30,<)00,000.000, or over double the entire growth In the previous 250 years. We aro now able to carry the comparison ten rears further, through the disclosures of another decennial census. It appears that tlio property of the United States lias been still further increased in the last ten years by $14,000,000,000, making a total Increase in the thirty years of Republican -ule and a Republican protective tariff of $14,000,000,000, against tits $14,030,000,000 earned in tho previous 250 years. Our opponents join issue with us directly and positively on the effects of the present tariff. They deny that there has been anv increase of prosperity under it, declare that wages have been reduced,and denounce our policy, saying with a sneer It fosters no industry so much ns that of ttic sheriff. It lias been a fortunate circumstance for an impartial public, which desires, above all, to ascertain the exact tacts concerning such an ascerllon that in tho regular course of their official duties a ■lumber of Democratic officers hare since imon required to report the statistics in heir several departments bearing upon

the subject. Snch reports have been made successively by the Commissioner of Laiibr Statistics, the Rank Commissioner end the Rout'd of Equalization of the Slate of New York, by the chairman of tlio savings bank commission and tlio Chief of tlio Rnrean of Labor Statistics of Massachusetts; by the Commissioner of the Rnrean of Statistics of Now .lerse.y and by others. All these reports tend to allow an increase during tlio year 1801 under tlio present tariff in wages, in tho value of products, In the deposits in savings banks or in building and loan associations, and in the value of real and personal property as fixed for purposes, not of speculation, but of taxation. In the State of New York alone these Democratic reports, all presented since the adoption of t ho Democratic platform, show the following results: Net increase of wages $ 6.377,925.09 Net Increase of production... 31.3(5.130.08 Increase of savings bk. dop’ts. 13,743,448,27 Not sum invested during the year in building and loan associations 18,789,720.00 Increase in tlio valuation of tho real and personal property of the Slate 152,374,753.00 These official Democratic refutations of the Democratic denial that the country is prosperous aro confirmed by the perasnnl Experience and observations of the people at large. They know that tbolr own regions are not suffering from general calamities, and in their communities other industries are more prosperous than that of tho sheriff, and they may bo left to form their own opinlousof the degree of trust and power they should now give to a party thus eager to calumniate the country. Tho market of tho United States Is the largest and best in the world, because our people. In proportion to their means and numbers, are the largest purchasers. Tho reciprocity policy so far adopted by tho Republican party simply provides that where wo now take off duties and give foreign products free access to this market wo shall stipulate for corresponding advantages to our products in their markets. How an Intelligent and candid American can object to this is incomprehensible, but the Democratic parly has formally denounced it as a sham. At the close of tho fiscal year, June last, it had been in operation but a few months, and under all the disadvantages attending the opening of now lines of trade in foreign countries. Yet oven tjien it had increased onr trade with the foreign countries to which it had boon applied nearly one-fourth. Tho exact Increase was 23.78 percent. Sii c i then there has been a still greater increase, amounting on September 1, tho latest date to which tho ouioial statistics are as yet available, to 27.6 per cent. Tho total values of our domestic exports to tho countries with which wo have reciprocity treaties since these have been in fores down to Aug. 31, 1892. amount to $101,103,510. Tho total values of our domestic exports to the same countries for the corresponding peri od of tho year lie Ton; these reciprocity treaties, amounted to $81,837,232. Tlio not value of the “sham” reciprocity, therefore, to tho United States in tho brief time, and during its infancy, was $32,539,234. It is obvious that the new trade thus opened, particularly with our neighbors in Central and South America, is sure of a wide and far-reaching development. This trade lies at our doors, and is with people naturally Inclined to friendly commercial relations with us through kindred interests and political aspirations. It Involves largely the exchange of products peculiar to each country and needed by the other; it opens new markets for our cereals and vast fields for the use of our machinery aud manufactures, and it must naturally bring with it also an annual increase ol miscellaneous business between us and them, outsldo of the articles directly affected by tbo treaties. In short, it reclaims American business which would belong to ns, bat has heretofore crossed the Atlantic, and brings it to our ports. To abandon this System, which is absolutely equitable ou both sides, which costs us nothing and which brings such results, would be madness, white to denounce itas a sham is as unpatriotic ns it is untruthful. It Is for the pcoplo who are so generally beuelittod by it already, and who must, see its promise of the future, to decide whether they should now intrust the caro of it to the party which threatens the one and destroys tho other. THE CUKKENCY 1SSUK. On the subject of the currency the issno between the Republican parly aud its opponents is almost as sharply defined as ou the tariff. Wo demand that every dollar, paper, silver or gold, shall bo made and kept as good as any oilier dollar. Our opponents, w hile profess;ng tho spmo desire, demand that the national bank currency shall bo broken down by the repeal of tho It) per cent, tax on tho Issues ol the State batiks. The lamented Oarliold proudly claimed, in 1880, that our paper currency is now as national as tlni nag and everywhere equal to coin. Tbo proposal of our opponents is to seetionallze It again and thus return to the Stale bank system, under which it was rarely equal to coin, was often at a rdinous discount, and often worthless. No human being ever lost a dollar or a cent by tbo note of a national bank, solvent or otherwise. The losses by Slava bank notes have been counted by tens of millions, have touched all classes and reached every corner of the country. It is true that the gradual payment of the government bonds may require some change in tgie securities do mauded as a gurautee for the national bank notes. The party which devised tho system and made it a magnificent success may be relied upon to meet that emergency when it arises, and the one party t hat assuredly could not bo relied upon In the matter is the party which lias now formally proposed as its remedy tor tbo difficulty a return to the serai-barbarous condition of the heterogenous State bank issues before the war. There is good reason to hope for some practical union of effort for a common solution of the silver problem, with an increased use of sliver, through the renewed international silver conference, which tlio wise policy of present administration has secured from tbo leading commercial nations of the world. But in any event tho country has learned in all such questions ;o trust the financial skiil and Integrity of tno Republican party and to distrust its opponents. The Republican party, in raising the funds for prosecuting tlio war for tho Union, in devising tlio national banking system, In resuming specie payments, in providing tho great sums for giving just pensions to the soldiers and In its whole policy for the last thirty years, has shown the greatest financial ability and achieved the grortest financial successes attained during tho century in any part of tho world, and has, therefore, aright to claim the popular confidence nrfw. The Democratic party has opposed It in whole or in part at every oncof these successful steps, and has encouraged in turn every financial heresy for tho same period, for fiat money aud payments of the bonds In greenbacks, to substitution of State and national banks, and It baa no

right to claim the popular confidence now on this subject j It is a statement which no candid, com- I potent business authority, whatever his political tendencies, cua deny, that the adoption now of tho theory avowed by . oar opponents in their declarations of principles as to the repeal of the present tariff, liie passage of a tariff for revenue, only and the substitution of State bank | for national currency would giya an immediate and disastrous shock to business. But we are sometimes told that they do I not mean what they say. If so, could tho people wisely entrust power to a party which does not mean to keep its promises and appeals for popular support with an admitted lie upon its Ups. At other times wo are told that their candidate neither believes their platform nor would dream of carrying it out, and, therefore, there is no danger. Wo put no such aspersion upon their candidate. To hold tho nomination under such circumstances would be an act. not only of treachery to the party whoso standard ho boars, but of folly be-sldes-sinca the country could not help seeing that an effort was in progress to deceive it as to either tho policy of the parly or tho purpose of the candidate. Above all things the American people like plain dealing, despise men who have not the courage of their convictions, and repudiate those who try to deceive them, it is impossible that any candidate in this contest can for one instant have intended to occupy a position so unworthy. Mr. Reid closes his loiter by an unqualified endorsement of the Republican platform and approval of President Harrison and his administration. IT WAS A JOKE. But It Tied Up the Santa Fo System for Twelve Hours. Telegraph Operators Go Out on a Strike on a Torged Order—The Perpetrator Wanted a Joke, and Got Hired. A special from Topeka, Kansas, on tho 17th, says: All the operators on the Santa Fo system, about nine hundred in all, struck this morning, at 10 o’clock, in response to an order alleged to have been sent by Chtef Ramsay, of tho Order of Railway Telegraphers. To-night they went tack to work. Tho operators wero informed by Chief Eam»oy, at 9 o’clock to-night tha* tho order directing them to striko was u forgery, and Instructing them to return at once to their posts of duty. The oper’ Utors, immediately upon receiving the older, returned to their keys, and the work of straightening out the tangle caused by tho striko began. Operator Barker at Dodge City, Kans., after reading the accounts In this morning’s paper of tho strike on the Gulf,Colorado & Santa Fo divisions of tho Santa Fo system, thought ho would play a joke upon thomanagersof bis office. He wrote the following message and, after signing Chief Ramsey’s name to It. laid it on Manager Swell's desk: St. Louis, Oct. 17. To All Operator* and Manager*: In view of the fact that the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe is controlled by tho Santa Fa road, I, therefore, declare a strike on iho entire Santa Fe system, to take effect at 10 o'clock a. m.. Get. 17. See that no telegraphing Is done, no tickets sold and that nothing is done to Injure our course, SeO that tho company’s property is cared for until you are regularly relieved. Manager Swell, after reading It, immediately repeated tho message to tho nett station, and within fifteen minutes it had been received by every Operator at every station on tbo entire Py;Uoai. Fifteen minutes later every operator on duty had quit work. The operation of tboroad was completely blocked and- dispatcher Barker’s joke was complete. Barker Is doubtless tho only man who got any fun out of the jeke, and his euieyment of It probably received a sadden check when he learned that It had resulted In the complete suspension of all business on the road. It t^as.mighty seneus business for the Santa Jfo road. For twelve hours their business was at a stand still, and au immense amount of traffic was lost to it. Orders weiesentout to all tho stations to managers to decline to receive freight; ai d no freight was received during the entire day. Passenger trains wore somewhat delayed, but wero kept moving on the freight time card schedule. So far as learned this method of handling passenger business met with comparative success. No accidents have been reported and trains wero not groatly delayed. During the day the entire system from Chicago to tho Pacific coast and from Kansas City to Galveston was practically at a standstill, over two tnousand operators being Idle. Tbo only man who remained at his post was the operator at Barclay, Kan., ami he says ho know the order to striko was a hoax. The less to tho company is very great, while the only benefit to the operators Is In showing the perfect manner in which they are organized. Operator Baker, the joker, has bccu discharged. General Manager Robinson endeavored all the afternoon to convince the strikers that the telegram purporting to come from Chief Ramsey was a forgery, but the operators took no stock whatever that an operator attempted to play a joke. The Gulf, Colorado A Santa Fe, on which the first strike occurred, is not owned by tk« Santa Fo, but it is leased and operated by It, and General Manager Ri b usou is second vice president. La*t spring Grand Chief Ramsey secured for tho operators who went out to-dav an annn: I increase in wages of some t 30,Ot!K>. Operators receiving from t30 to wore increased to 140 and 54S, and train dispatchers worn increased from 510.) and $125 to 51.". and , *150. I Harriet Beecher Stowe patheticalj ly writes of the death of Whittier: I “To such as he the transition from this world to the next is but slight. I It would be selfish to sorrow. Ours ; is the loss and his the eternal gain. ' I wish I might send a fitting tribute, 1 but my days are almost numbered and my pea halts in wy hand.”

A couple of female faith-cure preachcis are making things lively at. Cementville. They arc holding services In a little union church, and the meetings are densely attended. Tho excitement is something astonishing. Many of those who attend are seized by a religious hysteria and fan to tho floor. It does not seem to make any difference whether they believe In tho doctrine or not. In several cases women have been attacked by tho “power,” as tho preachers call it, after they had started for homo and were out of hearing of tho preachers' voices.

Tho bones are believed to be those of savagrs and the pit an old Indian burying ground’ One thing, however, seems to combat this theory, and that is tho absence of Indian weapons and implements of work and warfare, usually found so abundantly In tho cemeteries of tho aborigines.
