tendance on My Lad Salisbckt and feasting &nd junketing with Monopolist Carsfgie to ppend any time in Ireland or with the Irish leaders. - Facts From tho Records. William Morris enlisted in Company A, Thirty-sixth Indiana volunteers, Aug. 24, 1861. lie was discharged Sept. 24, 1SÖ4. On the 9th of February, 1865, he re-enlisted as a veteran in Company A, Fourth U. S. veteran volunteers. Feb. 19, IStiß, he "was honorably discharged, having served four years and one month. The report of the adjutant-general in

the file of pension papers shows that Morris was always present for duty except when in the hospital or convalescent camp, which was for a brief period. Silas II. Kerrey, surgeon of the Thirtysixth Indiana volunteers.and "William IL Lewis and Trceman Gouldsberry, comrades, testified to the recurrence of the disability of Morris while in tho service. Nov. 29, 1SS4, a letter was written by the then commissioner of pensions to W. L. Hol'stox, postmaster at Lewisville, Henry county, Indiana (a republican, of course), asking for information a3 to Lewis' credibility, saying that Lewis had testified in Mokkis case. The postmaster replied to the pension office upon the back of the pension office letter under date of Dec' 1, 1SS4, in this language: There is mea in this community that stands as fair aa W. II. Lewis. W. Ii. Lkw is aul William Morris are both democrats and vote with th South, and now they have the impudence to ask for a pension Iroui the government they have always been trying to tear down. I think this looks pretty thin. Youn respectfully, W. L. IIotrsTOX. No step was taken in this case alter tho receipt of this letter until after Grover Cleveland was inaugurated, but it remained without a call for eviclenco and had evidently been put aside and delayed because of the information obtained from Mr. IIoustox. The pension was allowed, and when allowed William Morris received 514 per month, and he now holds pension certificate 309,267. This is but one case out of hundreds that might be cited showing how, during the period of republican ascendancy, the pension bureau was prostituted to partisan ends, and brave soldiers were denied their rights because of their political course. Since Grover Cleveland became president and Gen. John C. Black commissioner of pensions there has been no "politics" in the pension bureau. All applicants for pensions have been treated alike, regardless of their political affiliations; their applications have been decided upon their merits alone; and hundreds probably thousands of veteran soldiers in the Union have had their names placed upon the pension rolls, where they should have been years before, and would have been if the pension bureau had been properly conducted. And yet republican demagogues are telling the old soldiers of Indiana that the democratic administration has been their enemy. It won't do, gentlemen ! The old soldiers know better. Tho President's Letter. The president's letter of acceptance commends itself to the intelligence, the integrity and the patriotism of his countrymen. It reviews the issues of the campaign in a manner so clear and simple that any man may understand them, and yet so masterly and forcible that conviction must follow close in tho train of comprehension. The tariff question is epitomized in his declaration that "Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation." This proposition is a9 incontrovertible as the grand old declaration that "Taxation without representation is tyranny;" and Mr. Cleveland puts the question of the necessity cf the present tariff taxation beyond dispute by pointing to the existing rurpl us as conclusive evidence that this taxation is unnecessary. It is conclusive. Ifthe taxation were necessary the surplus could not exist. The necessities of the nation have all been supplied; and yet this mighty surplusage, filched from the earnings of every consumer in the country, lies in the treasury vaults with no legitimate use to which it may be put. Its withdrawal from circulation impedes the busies of the country; and its existence Is a f ntinuous temptation to extravagance and lollv in the legislation and administration of the government Nor is this the worst feature of this undue exercise of the taxing power. "We must remember also that, in accumulating this surplus, six tirues as great an amount, or nearly eight hundred millions of dollars have been wrung from the people and contributed to the Car.veoies, the Algers, and the remainder of our bountyled capitalists; and this with no compensating good returned to the people. Two dollars to tho government and twelve dollars to the tariff monopolist for every man, woman and child in the land! The people are told that to stop this unnecessary portion ot the taxation, and still leave eight-ninths of the existing tariiT protection a3 it is, is free trade. We heartily indorse the president's statement that this question may safely be left to the people, and we believe that after carefully reading this letter of acceptance any man ought to be prepared to vote intelligently. It is a significant fact that "since the Morrill act was passed in lfiGl, importations have increased more rapidly than population, in spite of a tariff inteuded to be almost prohibitive." How high will the tariff have to be made to "check imports," as proposal by tho Chicago platform? A Timrr in a tax. A high tariff is a Ugh tax. A low tariff is a low tax. Such a tariff as we have now is a tax, the principal part of which goes into the pockets of monopoly. These are fundamental facts which should never b? lost sight of when the tariff question is under consideration. A rrw of the trusts that owe their existence to a high tariff are the marble trust, the stove trust, the paper-bag trtut, the lead trust, tho borax trust, and the various iron ore combinations to fix prices at an exorbitant figure. It men like Carnegie and CnisnoLsr and B. F. Jones and other manufacturers of that class thought the Mills bill woulJ result in lowering the standard of wages, they would move heaven and earth to get It passed.

MR. CLEVELAND ACCEPTS

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM RIDDLED Th Xeeulty of a Reform of tho Tariff Clearly aad Concisely Stated "Unnecessary Taxation U üiijunt Taxa, tion" Statesmanlike Document. Washington-, Sept. 9. The following is the president's letter of acceptance : WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 8, 1SS3. Hon. Patrick A. Collins and Other. Committee, Etc.: Gentlemen In addressing to you niy formal acceptance of the nomination to the presidency of the United States, my thoughts persistently dwell upon the impressive relation of such action to the American people, whoso confidence is thus invited, and to the political party to which I belonj:, just entering upon a contest for continued supremacy. The world docs not afl'ord a spectacle more sablime than is furnished when millions of free and intelligent American citizens select their chief magistrate, and bid one of their number to find the highest earthly honor and the full measure of public duty in ready submission to their wilL It follows that a candidate for this high office can never forget that when the turmoil and the Etrife which attend the selection of its incumbent shall be heard no more, there must be, in the quiet calm which follows, a complete and solemn self-consecration by the people's chosen president of every faculty and endeavor to the service of a confiding and generous nation of freemen. These thoughts are intensified by tho light of my experience in the presidential office, which has soberly impressed me with the severe responsibility which it imposes, while it has quickened my love for American institutions and taught me the priceless value of the trust of ray countrymen. It is of the highest importance that those who administer our government should jealously protect and maintain the rights of American citizens at home and abroad, and should strive to achieve for our country her proper place among the nations of the earth; but there is no people whose home interests are so great, and whose numerous objects of domestic concern deserve so much watchfulness and care. Among these are the regulation of a sound financial system suited to our needs, thus securing an efficient agency of national wealth and general prosperity; the construction and equipment of means of defense, to insure our national safety and maintain the honor beneath which such national safety reposes; the protection of our national domain, still stretching beyond the needs of a century's expansion, and its preservation for the settler and pioneer of our marvelous growth; a sensible and sincere recognition of the value of American labor, leading to the scrupulous care and just appreciation of the interests of our workingmen; the limitation and checking of such monopolistic tendencies aud schemes as interfere with the advantages and benefits which the people may rightly claim; a generous regard and care for our surviving soldiers and sailors, and for the widows and orphans of such as hare died, to the end that while the appreciation of their services and sacrifices is quickened, the application of their pension funds to improper causes may be prevented; protection azaiust a servile immigration, whuh injuriously competes with our laboring men in the field of toil, and adds to our population an element ignorant of our institutions and laws, impossible of assimilation with our people and dangerous to our peace and welfare; a strict and steadfast adherence to the principles of civil-servica reform aud a thorough execution of the laws passed for their enforcement, thus permitting to our people the advantages of business methods in the operation of their government; the guaranty to our colored citizens of all their rights of citizenship, and their just reccgnition and encouragement in all things pertai.iing to that relation; a firm, patient and huminc Indian policy, so that in peaceful relations with the government the civilization of the Indian may be promoted, with resulting quiet and safety to the settlers of our frontiers; and the curtailment of public expense by the introduction of economical methods in every department of the government. The pledges contained in the platform adopted by the late convention of the national democracy lead to the advancement of these objects and insure good government the aspiration of every true American citizen and the motive for every patriotic action and effort. In the consciousness that much has been done in the direction of good government by the present administration, and submitting its record to the fair inspection of my countrymen, I indorse the platform thus presented, with the determination that, if I am again called to the chief magistracy, there shall be a continuance of devoted endeavor to advance the interests of the entire country. Our scale of federal taxation and its consequences largely engross, at this time, the attention of our citizens, and the people are soberly considering the necessity of measures of relief. Onr government is the creation of the people, established to carry out their designs and accomplish their good. It was founded on justice, aad was nude for a free, intelligent and virtuous people. It is only useful when within their control, and only serves them well when regulated ami guided by their constant touch. It is a free government because it guarantees to every American citizen the unrestricted personal use and enjoyment of all the reward of his toil and of all hi income, except what may be his fair contribution to necessary public expense. Therefore it is not only the riht, but the duty, of a free people, in the enforcement of this guaranty, to insist that such expense should be strictly limited to the actual public needs. It seems perfectly clear that when the government, this instrumentality created and maintained by the people to do their bidding, turns upon them, and, through an utter perversion of its powers, extorts from their labor and capital tribute largely in excess of public necessities, the creature has rebelled against the creator and the masters are robbed by their servants. The cost of the government must continue to be met by the tariif duties collected at our cus-tom-houe upon imported goods, and by internal revenue taxes assessed upon spirituous and malt liqnors, tobacco and oleomargariue. I suiiposo it Is needless to explain th.it all thse duties and asuessments are addcato the price of the articles upon which they are levied, and thus become a tax upon all those who buy these articles for use or consumption. I suppose too, it is well understood that tho f fil et of this tariff taxation is not limited to the consumers of imported articles, but that the duties Imposed upon such urticles permit a corresponding increase in price to be laid upon domestic productions of the same kind, which increase, paid by all our people as consumers of home productions, and entering every American home, constitutes a form of taxation as certain and as inevitable as though the amount was annually paid into the hand of the tax-gatherer. These results are inseparable from the plan we have adopted for the collection of our revenue by tariff duties. They are not mentioned to discredit the system, but byway of preface to the statement that every million of dollars collected at our custom honse for du;!es upon Importe! articles and paid into the imblic treasury represent many millions more which, though never reach

Y G ' & ' ' "J ing the national treasury, ore paid by our citirens as the increased cost of domestic productions resulting from our tariff laws. In these circumstances, and in view of this necessary etiect of the operation of our plan lor raiding revenue, the absolute duty of limiting the rate of tariff charges to the necessities of a frutrrd and economical administration of the government, seems to be perfectly plain. The continuance, upon a pretext of meetinT public expenditure of stich a 6cale of tarilV taxation as draws from the substance of the people a sum largely in excess of public needs, J9 surely something which under a government based upon justice, and which finds its strength and usefulness in the faith and trust of the people, ought not to be tolerated. V hile the heaviest burdens incident to the necessities of the government are nucomplaininsdy borne, lisjht burdens become grievous and intolerable when not justified by such necessities. Unnecessary taxation is nnlust taxation. And yet this is our condition. We are annually collecting at our custom house and by means of our internal revenue taxation many millions in excess ot all legitimate public needs. As a consequence, there now remains in the national trensnnry a surplus of more than one hundred and thirty millions of dollars. No better evidence could be furnished that the people arc exorbitantly taxed. Tho extent of the superfluous burden indicated by this surplus will be better appreciated when it is suggested that such surplus alone represents taxation aggregating more than one hundred and eight thousand dollars in a county containing fifty thousand inhabitants. Taxation has always been the feature of organized government and the hardest to reconcile with the people's ideas of freedom and happiness. When presented in a direct form, nothing will arouse popular discontent more quickly and profoundly than unjust and unnecessary taxation. Our farmers, mechanics, laborers, and all our citizens, closely scan the slightest increase iu the taxes assessed upon their lands and other property, and demand good reasons for such increase. And yet they seem to be expected, in some quarters, to regard the unnecessary volume of insidious and indirect taxation visited upon them by our present rate of tarill' duties with indilference if not with favor. The surplus revenue now remaining in the treasury not only furnishes conclusive proof of unjust taxation, but its existence constitutes a sepurate and independent menace to the prosperity of the people. This vast accumulation of idle funds represents that much money drawn from the circulating medium of the country which is needed in the channels of trade and business. It is a great mistake to suppose that the consequences which follow the continual withdrawal and hoarding by the government of the currency of the people are not of immediate importance to the mass of our citizens, and only concern those engaged in large financial transactions. In the restless enterprise and activity which free and ready money among the people produces is found that opportunity for labor and employment and that impetus to business and production which bring in their train prosperity to oar citizens in every station and vocation. New ventures, new investments in business and manufacture, the construction of new and impoi taut works, and the enlargement of enterprises already established, depend largely upon obtaining money upon easy terms with fair security; and all thce things arc stimulated by an abundant volume of circulating medium. Even the harvested grain of the farmer remains without a market, unless money is forthcoming for its movement and transportation to the sca-board. The first results of a scarcity of money among the people is the exaction of severe terms for its use. Increasing distrusts aud timidity is followed by a refusal to loan or ndvance on any terms. Investors refuse all risks and decline all securities, and iu a general fright the money still in the hands of the people is persistently hoarded. It is quite apparent that when this perfectly natural if not inevitable stage is reached, depression in all business and enterprise will, as a necssary consequence, lessen the opportunity for work and employment, and reduce salaries and the wages of labor. Instead, then, of being exempt from the influence and effect of an inmcne surplus lying idie in the national treasury, our wage-earners and others who rely upon their labor for support, are most all directly concerned in the situation. Others seeing the approach of danger may provide against it, but it will find those depending upon their daily toil for bread unprepared, helpless and defenseless. Such a siat-e of atfairs iloes not present a case of idleness resulting from disputes between the laboringman and his employer, but it produces an absolute and enforced stoppage of employment and wages. In reviewing the bad effects of this accumulated surplus and the Bcale of tari.f rates by which it is produced, wc must not overlook the tendency toward gross and scandalous public extravagance which a congested treasury induces, nor the fact that we are maintaining without excuse, in a time of profound peace, substantially the rate of tariff duties imposed in time of war, when the necessities of the government justiiied the imposition of the weightiest burdens upon the people. Iivers plans' have been suggested for the return of this accumulated surplus to the people and the channels of trade. Some of these devices are at variance with all rules of good finance; some are dfluive, some arc absurd, and some betray by their reckless extravagance the demoralizing iniluencc of a great surplus of public money upon the judgments of individuals. While such efforts should be made as are consistent with public duty, and sanctioned by sound judgment, to avoid danger by the useful disposition of the surplus now remaining" ia the treasury, it is evident that if its distribution were accomplished, another accumulation would soon take its place, if the constant flow of redundant income was not checked at its source by a reform in our present tarifl laws. We do not propose to deal with those conditions by tuorely attempting to satisfy the people of the truth of abstract theories, nor by urging their assent to political doctrine. We present to thein the propositions that they are unjustly treated in the extent of present federal taxations; that, as a result a condition of extreme danger exists, and that it is for them to demand n 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, lloth of thero objects we seek in part to gain by reducing the present rates upon the necessaries of life. We fully appreciate the importance to the country ol our domestic industrial enterprises. 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 aio not contemplated or intended. I5ut we know the cost of our domestic manufactured products is increased, and their price to the consumer enhanced by the duty imposed upon the raw 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 advantage of free raw material. We know that confined to a home market our manufacturing operations are curtailed, their demand for labo irregular, and the rate of wages paid uncertain. We propose therefore to stimulate our domestic Industrial enterprises by freeinsr from duty the imported raw materials which by the employment of labor are used in our home manufacture, thus extend

True to the undeviating course of the democratic party, we will not neglect the interests of labor and our workingmen. In all cttorts 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, WC propose in any adjustment of our revenue laws to concede such encouragement and advantage to the employers ot domestic laborers as will easy compensate for any difference that may exist between the standard of wa?es which should be paid to our laboring men and the rate allowed in other countries. V propose, too, by extending the markets for our manufactures, to promote steady employment of labor, while, by cheapening the cost of the liecessaries 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 tho question, I am constrained to express the opinion, that while he interest of Jtuor should be always scduously regarded in any modification of our tariff laws, an additional and more direct and efficient 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 fchorcs, having no purpose or intent of becoming fellow-citizens, or acquiriug any permanent interest in our country, but whd crowd every field of employment with unintelligent labor at wares whichought not to satisfy those who make claim to American citizenship. The platform adopted at the late national convention of our party contains the followiug declaration: Judged by democratic principle the Interests of the people are betrayed when by unnecessary taxation trusts and combinations re permitted and fostered which, whilo unduly enrieuing the few that pombiue, rob th body of oar citizens by deprirlug them as purchasers of tho 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 names 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 tariif, beside 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 wrong-doing. With an unalterable hatred of all such schemes we count the checking of their baleful operations amoug the good results promised by revenue reform. While we cannot avoid partisan misrepresentation, our position upon the question of revenue reform should be 60 plainly stated as to admit of no misunderstanding. We have entered upon no crusade of free trade. The reform we seek to inaugurate is predicated upon the utmost sere for established industries and enterprises, a jealous regard for the interests of American labor and a sincere 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 uo imaginary danger. Its existence has been repeatedly confessed by all political parties, nnd pledges of a remedy have been made on all sid.'s. Yet, when in the legislative body, where under the constitution all remedial measures applicable to this subject must originate, the democratic majority were attempting vi;h extreme moderation to 'redeem the pledgu common to both parties, they were met by determined opposition and obstruction; and, the minority refusing to co-operate in th j house of representatives or propose another remedy, have remitted the redemption of their party pledge to the doubtful powerof 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 their 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 predjudice contained in the absurd allegation that we serve the interests of Europe, while they will support the interests ot America. They propose in their platform to thus support the interests of our country by removing the internal revenue tax from tobacco and spirits used in the arts and for mechanical purposes. They declare also that there should be fetich a rcviion of our tarifflaws as shall tend to check the importation of such articles as are produced here. Thus in proposing to increase the duties npon such articles to nearly or quita 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 iexcept luxuries) the like of which cannot be produced in this country. The plain people of the land and the poor, who scarcely nee articles of any description produced exclusivelv abroad and not already here, will find it difficult to discover where their interests are regarded ia this proposition. 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 neglected need is found in the further purpose here announced and covered by the declaration that if after the the changes already mentioned there btill 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 ak relietfron the uudue and unnecessary burden of tar'd Jtxation now resting upon them. They an. tiervd free tobacco and freo whisky. They ask for bread and they are given a stone. The implication contained in this party declaration that desperate menstires are justified or necessary to save from destruction or surrender what is termed our protective system, should confuse no one. The existence of such a system is entirely consistent with tho 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 Tariety of interests, often leading in entirely dilferent directions, it ia difficult, if not impossible, to settle upon a perfect taritf plan, but in accomplishing thereform we have entered upon, the necessity of which is so obvious, I believe we should not becontent 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 misrepresenta. tions of our purposes and motives are to gain credence ami dclcat onr present effort ia this direction, there seems to be no reason why every endeavor in the future to accomplish revenue reform tdiould not be likewise attacked aud with like results. And yet no thoughtful man can fail to see in tne 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 action. The ditliculty of applying the remedy will never be less, and the blame should not be laid at the door of the deinocratio party if it is applied too late. With firm faatii in the intelligence and patri

otism of our countrymen, and relying upon the conviction that misrepresentation w ill 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.

Which, more than anything else, have contributed to the phenomenal growth of The Chicago Daily News, giving it a circulation larger than that of all other Chicago dailies combined. It seems strange that the first practical, combined application of two such common sense principles in journalism should have been left to a paper as yet only twelve years old. And yet true it is that in this fact lies the real secret of the unparalleled success of The Chicago Daily News. Briefly stated

these principles are: First. THE DAILY NEWS Is a daily paper for busy people. Of all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy northwest are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal nnmber of people are to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an intelligent knowledge of the world's daily doings. They recognize that they, more than anyone else, are the world' providers in many of the most important necessaries of life. How im

portant, then, that they should hare

every event, the world over, which by any possibility can afTect their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher interests of life where can be found a like number of people more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in art, literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and one things which make tip modern civilization. And yet, strar.jje to say, right here in this grent, busy northwest, In its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the creation and development cf that most cumbrous, unserviceable, time-destroying thing, the Llanket-sheet " newspaper. With the blindness cf very fatuity this xnoastrosity of journalism, this breeder of mcDtal dyspepsia, Las steadfastly imposed its mountain of onthreshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain of fact. It was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition of things that The Daily News had its birth. People wented the News, all the news but they demanded it apart from the overpowering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is because The Daily News satisfactorily meets that demand that its circulation is over " a-million a-weclc." R. M. I.AWRENCE, Williamsville, 111., says: "The big daily b too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read everything printed in the blanket-sheets Init cne having anything else to do doesn't have time to bunt through the long-drawn twaddle for a few grains of digestible food."

When to two such comprehensive elements of popularity THE DAILY NEWS now adds a third in its unparalleled price reduction to One Cent a day, it offers a combination of attractions at once unique and unapproachable by any other American newspaper, and one which will surely multiply its friends throughout the Northwest by the thousands. The Chicago Daily News is for sale by all newsdealers at One Cent per copy, or will be mailed, postage paid, for S3.00 per year, or 25 cents per month. The farmer and mechanic can now afford as well as the merchant and professional man to have his metropolitan daily. Address VICTOR F. LAWSON, Publisher The Daily News, Chicago.

Second. - THE DAILY NEWS Is an Independent, truth-telling newspaper. The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers whose statements in matters cf politics can always be accepted as at least Intentionally truthful, and commonly so in fact. Oa the other hand, it is the all-bnt-nniversal rule to praise one's party and candidate to the skies, and to cry down the opposition party and its candidate to the verge of the disreputable. So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in journalism become that they pass unnoticed, and are accepted as a matter of course as an evil inseparable from practical politics. Hut this is only another mistake of the thoughtless. The American people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough to appreciate and endorse honest, truth-telling journalism in truth to prefer it to the misleading, the truth-discoloring dLhocesty of the " organ." The demand is more and more for the fair, impartial, inJe pendent newrpaper which give the reader all tht nrws and gives it absolutely free from the taint of partisan bias. This done, aa expression cf opinion, besed vftn fats, will commend itself to the thoughtful reader even when he may not 6nd himself in agreement with the conclusions deduced from the premises. Disagreements are of small moment if only confidence in honesty cf purpose remair.s. With no mere political ambition to gratify,' no "ax to grind," the impartial and independent newspaper may truly be "guide, philosopher and friend" to honest men holding every shade of political faith. And this Is why The Daily News has to-day a circulation of over " a-million-a-week." M. Wvcant, Sibley, Iowa, writes: "I am well pleased with The Daily News, although I am a'bred-in-the-bone Republican with a carpet fag experience ia the South ending in 1S72. The extreme fairness of The Daily News, giving credit where due regardless of party, meets my approval."
