"C. W. Fairbanks aira~Mis Cottjrhltfce Visit Paterson. The committee appointed by'the national Republican convention at St. Louis to notify Garret A. Hobart of his nomination for Vice-President of the- United States, .performed its duty Tuesday at Paterson, N. J. Chas. W. Fairbanks,

chairman of the committee, made the announcement in fitting terms, nnd in reply Mr. Hofeart spoke in past as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: I beg to extend to you my grateful acknowledgments for the very kind and flattering terms in which you convey the formal announcement of my nomination for Vice-President of the United States by the Republican national convention at St. Louis. lam profoundly sensible of the honor which has been done me and through me to the State in which all my life has been spent, in my selection as a candidate for this high office. "It is sufficient for me to say at this Time tlraf. concurring without other -service in all the declarations of principle and policy embodied in the St. Louis form, I accept the nomination tendered to me with a fu|l appreciation of its responsibilities and with an honest purpose, in the event that the people shall ratify the choices made by the national conveji; tion, to discharge any duties which may devolve upon me with sole reference to the public good. , "Let me add; that it. will be my earnest effort in the coming campaign to contribute in every way possible to the success

of. the party which we represent and which to the important issues of the'time stands for the best interests of the people.' Uncertainty or instability ns to the money question involves most serious consequences to every interest and to every citizen of the country. Gold is the on" standard of value among all enlightened commercial nntjons. All financial transactions of whatever character, all business enterprises, all individual or corporate investments are adjusted to it. "An honest dollar, worth 100 cents everywhere, cannot be coined out of 53 cents’ worth of silver, plus a legislative fiat. Great and self-reliant ns our country is, it is great not alone within ifs own borders nnd upon its own resources, but because it also reaches out etuis of the earth in nil manifold departments of business, exchange nnd commerce, nnd must maintain with honor its standing nnd credit among the nations of the earth. • "My,estimate of the value of a protective policy hns been formed by the study of the object lessons of n great industrial state extending oyer a period of thirty years. It is that protection not only builds up important industries from small beginnings, but that those nnd all other industries flourish or languish tion ns protection is maintained or with drawn. I hnve seen it indisputably proved that the prosperity of the farmer.

merchant nnd all other classes of citizens goes hhmj in of Y the mmjufacturer and mechanic. lam firmly qjersuaded that; what we need most of all to remove the business paralysis that afflicts this country is the restoration of a policy : which, while affording ample revenue to meet, the expenses of the Government, will reopen American workshops on full time and full haitded, with their operatives paid good Wages in honest dollars. And this-can ottlj’ come under a tariff which will, hold-the interests of our own people paramount in our political and coipmercial’systems. "The.opposite policy, which discourages American enterprises,' reduces American labor to idleness, diminishes thc‘earnings of American workingmen, opens out markets to commodities from abroad which we should produce at home, while closing foreign markets against our products,, and which.- at the same time, steariily augments the public debt, increasing the public burdens, w.hile diminishing the ability of the people to meet them, is a policy which must find its chief popularity elsewhere than among Anierican citizens.” Fully three thousand people were gathered in the vicinity of Mr. Hobart's hoitse.
