We seldom fear a danger that we cannot see. The danger of being run-down by a horse is a very real one to everybody, the danger of being murdered by a microbe does not trouble us. yet the minute mi crobe is more dangerous than the wildest horse. The only people who can afford not to fear the microbes of disease are those who keep their blood pure and rich. These are practically immune from the attacks of most microbes. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery purifies and enriches the blood, and gives the body a vigorous vitality. It cures scrofula, eczema, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by impure blood. "I had been troubled for about four years with ectema, or a skin disease, which at times was almost unbearable as it would itch so," writes Mr. John Larison, of 115 Powhattan St., Dallas, Texas. I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and after using five bottles found that I was entirely cured. Please accept many thanks." Accept no substitute for n Golden Medical Discovery." There is nothing w just as good n for diseases of the blood. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cu tipation and its consequences.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE

(Continued from Second Page.) port as prima facie proof that the person therein described is a citizen of the United States and entitled to protection as such. It is a standing order to every American diplomatic and consular officer to protect every American citizen, of whatever faith, from unjust molestation; and our officers abroad have been stringently required to comply with this order. Under such circumstances, the demand of our opponents that negotiations be begun to secure equal treatment of all Americans from those governments which do not now accord it, shows either ignorance of the facts or insincerity. No change of policy in the method or manner of negotiation would add effectiveness to what the State Department has done and is doing. Our opponents have now declared themselves in favor of the Civil Service law, the repeal of which they demanded in 1900 and in 1896. If consistent, they should have gone one step further and congratulated the country upon the way in which the Civil Service law is now administered, and the way in which the classified service has been extended. Finally, we come to certain matters upon which our opponents do in their platform of principles definitely take issue with us, and where, if they are sincere, their triumph would mean disaster to the country. But exactly as it is impossible to call attention to the present promises and past records of our opponents without seeming offensive, so it is impossible to compare their platform with their other and later official utterances and not create doubt as to their sincerity. In their private or unofficial utterances many of them frankly advance this insincerity as a merit, taking the position that as regards the points on which I am about to speak they have no intention of keeping their promises or of departing from the policies now established, and (that therefore they can be trusted not to abuse the, power they seek. When we take up the great question of the tariff we are at once confronted by the doubt as to whether our opponents do or do not mean what they say. They say that "protection is robbery," and promise to carry themselves accordingly if they are given power. Yet prominent persons among them assert they do not really mean this and that if they come into power they will adopt our policy as regards the tariff; while others seem anxious to prove that it is safe to give them partial power, because the power would be only partial, and therefore they would not be able to do mischief. The last is certainly a curious plea to advance on behalf of a party seeking to obtain control of the government. At the outset it is worth while to say a word as to the attempt to identify the question of tariff revision or tariff reduction with a solution of the trust question. This is always a sign of desire to avoid any real effort to deal adequately with the trust question. In speakng on this point at Minneapolis, on April 4, 1903, I said: "The question of tariff revision, speaking broadly, stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the

trusts. No change in tariff duties can.mand for the reduction of the army.

have any substantial effect in solving ( If insincere, there is no need for comthe socalled trust problem. Certain ( ment, and if sincere, what shall we great trusts or great corporations are say in speaking to rational persons of wholly unaffected by the tariff. Al- f an appeal to reduce an army of sixty most all the others that are of any , thousand men which is taking care of

importance have as a matter of fact numbers of smaller American compe- t titors; and of course a change in the tariff which would work injury to the , large corporation would work not merely injury but destruction to its smaller competitors; and equally of course such a change would mean dis-

aster to all the wage-workers con- t ful days of Jefferson, when there were nected with either the large or the fifty-one hundred soldiers to five milsmall corporations. From the stand-( lion three hundred thousand populapoint of those interested in the solu- tion. There is now one soldier to evtion of the trust problem such a'ery fourteen hundred people in this change would therefore merely mean ' country less than one-tenth of one that the trust was relieved of the per cent. We cannot be asked sericompetition of its weaker American ously to argue as to the amount of competitors, and thrown only into possible tyranny contained in these competition with foreign competitors; figures. The army as it is now is as and that the first effort to meet this small as it can possibly be and serve new competition would be made by its purpose as an effective nucleus cutting down wages, and would ti7y for the organization, equipment, and fore be primarily at the cost of labor, supply of a volunteer army in time of In the ease of some of our greatest need. It is now used, as never betrusts such a change might confer fore, for aiding in the upbuilding of upon them a positive benefit. Speak- the organized militia of the country, ing broadly, it is evident that the The War Department is engaged in a changes in the tariff will affect the systematic effort to strengthen and trusts for weal or for woe simply as develop the National Guard in the they affect the whole country. The several States; as witness, among tariff affects trusts only as it affects manv other instances, the great field

1 all other interests. It makes all these

interests, large or small, profitable ; and its benefits can be taken from the large only under penalty of taking them from the small also." There is little for me to add to this. It is but ten years sinw the last attempt was made, by means of lowering the tariff, to prevent some people from prospering too much. The attempt was entirely successful. The tariff law of that year was among the causes which in that year and for some time afterwards effectually prevented anybody from prospering too much, and labor from prospering at all. Undoubtedly it would be possible at the present time to prevent any of the trusts from remaining prosperous by the simple expedient of making such a sweeping change in the tariff as to paralyze the industries of the country. The trusts would cease to prosper; but their smaller competitors would be ruined, and the wageworkers would starve, while it would not pay the farmer to haul his produce to market. The evils connected with the trusts can be reached only by rational effort, step by step, along the lines taken by Congress and the Executive during the past three years. If a tariff law is passed under which the country prospers, as the country has prospered under the present tariff law, then all classes will share in the prosperity. If a tariff law is passed aimed at preventing the prosperity of some of our people, it is as certain as anything can be that this aim will be achieved only by cutting down the prosperity of all of our people. Our opponents assert that they believe in reciprocity. Their action on the most important reciprocity treaty recently negotiated that with Cuba does not bear out this assertion. Moreover, there can be no reciprocity unless there is a substantial tariff; free trade and reciprocity are not compatible. We are on record as favoring arrangements for reciprocal trade relations with other countries, these arrangements to be on an equitable basis to both the contracting parties. The Republican party stands pledged to every wise and consistent method of increasing the foreign commerce of the country. That it has kept its pledge is proven by the fact that while the domestic trade of this country exceeds in volume the entire export and import trade of all the nations of the world, the United States has in addition secured more than an eighth of the export trade of the

world, standing first among the na-, tions in this respect. The United States has exported during the last seven years nearly ten billions of dollars' worth of goods on an average half as much again annually as during the previous four years, when many of our people were consuming nothing but necessaries, and some of them a scanty supply even of these. The farmer has benefitted quite as much as the manufacturer, the merchant, and the wage-worker. The most welcome and impressive fact established by the last census is the wide and even distribution of wealth among all classes of our countrymen. The chief agencies in producing this distribution are shown by the census to be the development of manufactures, and the application of new inventions to universal use. The result has been an increasing interdependence of agriculture and manufactures. Agriculture is now, as it always has been, the basis of civilization. The six million farms of the United States, operated by men who, as a class, are steadfast, single-minded, and industrious, form the basis of all the other achievements of the American people and are more fruitful than all their other resources. It is difficult to know if our op ponents are really sincere in their de the interests of over eighty million people ? The army is now relatively smaller than it was in the nays oi Washington, when on the peace establishment there were thjrty-six hundred soldiers, while there were a littie less than four millions of population; smaller than it was in the peacemanoeuvers at Manassas, which have

just closed. Our opponents contend that the Government is now administered extravagantly, and that whereas there was "a surplus of $S0,000,000 in 1900" there is "a deficit of more than $40,000,0M i the year that has just closed. This deficit is imaginary, and is obtained by including in the ordinary cut-rent expenses the sum of fifty millions, which was paid for the right of way of the Panama canal out of the accumulated surplus in the Treasury. Comparing the current or ordinary expenditures for the two years, there was a surplus of nearly eighty millions for the year 1900, and of only a little more than eight millions for the year that has just closed. But this diminution of the annual surplus was brought about designedly by the abolition of the war taxes in the interval between the two dates. The acts of March 2, 1901, and April 12, 1902, cut down the internal revenue taxes to an amount estimated at one hundred and five millions a year. In other words, the reduction of taxation has been considerably greater than the reduction in the annual surplus. Since the close of the war with Spain there has been no substantial change in the rate of annual expenditures. As compared with the fiscal year ending in June, 1901, for example, the fiscal year that has just closed showed a relatively small increase in expenditure (excluding the canal payment already referred to), while the year previous showed a relatively small decrease. The expenditures of the Nation have been managed in a spirit of economy as far removed from waste as from niggardliness; and in the future every effort will be continued to secure an economy as strict as is consistent with efficiency. The public work of the United States has never been conducted with a higher degree of honesty and efficiency than at the present time; and a special meed of praise belongs to those officials responsible for the Philippines and Porto Rico, where the administrations have been models of their kind. Of course wrong has occasionally occurred, but it has been relentlessly stamped out. We have known no party in dealing with offenders, and have hunted down without

mercy every wTrong-doer in the service of the Nation whom it was possible by the utmost vigilance to de tect; for the public servant who betrays his trust and the private individual who debauches him stand as the worst of criminals, becausetheir crimes are crimes against the entire community, and not only against this generation but against the generations that are yet to be. It may be asserted without fear of successful contradiction that nowhere else in recent years has there been as fine an example of constructive statesmanship and wise and upright Administration as has been given by the civil authorities, aided by the army, in the Philippine Islands. We have administered them in the interest of their own people; and the Filipinos themselves have profited most by our presence in the islands; but they have also been of very great advantage to us as a nation. So far from having "sapped the foundations" of free popular government at home by the course taken in the Philippines, Ave have been spreading its knowledge, and teaching its practice, among peoples to whom it had never before been more than an empty name. Our action represents a great stride forward in spreading the principles of orderly liberty throughout the world. "Our flag has not lost its gift of benediction in its world-wide journey to their shores." "We have treated the powers we have gained as a solemn obligation, and have used it in the interest of mankind; and the peoples of the world and especially the weaker peoples of the world, are better off because of the position we have assumed. To retrace our steps would be to give proof of an infirm and unstable national purpose. Four years ago, in his speech of acceptance President McKinley said: "We have been moving in untried paths, but our steps have been guided by honor and duty. There will be no turning aside, no wavering, no retreat. No blow has been struck except for liberty and humanity, and none will be. We will perform without fear every national and international obligation. The Republican party was dedicated to freedom fortyfour years ago. It has been the party of liberty and emancipation from that hour: not of profession, but of performance. It broke the shackles of j four million slaves, and made them free, and to the party of Lincoln has come another supreme opportunity which it has bravely met in the liberation of ten millions of the human family from the yoke of imperialism. In its solution of great problems, in its performance of high duties, it has had the support of members of all parties in the past, and it confidently

invokes their cooperation in the future." This is as true now as four years ago. We did not take the Philippines at will, and we cannot put them aside at will. Any abandonment of the policy which we have steadily pursued in the islauds would be fraught with dishonor and disaster; and to such dishonor and disaster I do not believe that the American people will consent. Alarm has been professed lest the Filipinos should not receive all the benefits guaranteed to our people at home by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. As a matter of fact, the Filipinos have already secured the substance of these benefits. This Government has been true to the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment

in the Philippines. Can our oppon ents deny that here at home the prin ciples of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments have been in effect nullified? In this, as in many other matters, Ave at home can Avell profit by the example of those responsible for the actual management of af fairs in the Philippines. In our several commonwealths here in the United States we as a people now face the complex problem of securing fair treatment to eaeh man regardless of his race or color. We can do so only if Ave approach the problem in the spirit of courage, common sense, ami high-minded devotion to the right, which has enabled Governor Taft, Governor Wright, and their associates, to do so noble a work in giving to the Philippine people the benefit of the true principles of American liberty. Our appeal is made to all good citizens avIio hold the honor and interest of the nation close to their hearts. The great issues Avhich are at stake, and upon Avhich I have touched, are more than mere partisan issues, for they involve much that comes home to the individual pride and individual well-being of our people. Under conditions as they actually are, good Americans should refuse, for the sake of the Avelfare of the nation, to change tlie national policy. We, who are responsible for the administration and legislation under which this country, during the last seven years, has grown so greatly in well-being at home and in honorable repute among the nations of the earth abroad, do not stand inertly upon this record, do not use this record as an excuse for failure of effort to meet new conditions. On the contrary, Ave treat the record of what we have done in the past as incitement to do even better in the future. We believe that the progress that Ave have made may be taken as a measure of the progress Ave shall continue to make if the people again entrust the Government of the Nation to our hands. We do not stand still. We press steadily forAvard toAvard the goal of moral and material Avell-being for our own people, of just and fearless dealing toward all other peoples, in the interest not merely of this country, but of mankind. There is not a policy, foreign or domestic, which Ave are now carrying out, which it would not be disastrous to reverse or abandon. If our opponents should come in and should not reverse our policies, then they Avould be branded Avith the brand of broken faith, of false promise, of insincerity in word and deed; and no man can work to the advantage of the Nation with such a brand clinging to him. If, on the other hand they should come in and reverse any or all of our policies, by just so much AA'ould the Nation as a whole be damaged. Alike as lawmakers and as administrators of the law Ave have endeavored to do our duty in the interest of the people as a whole. We make our appeal to no class and to no section, but to all good citizens, in whatever part of the land they dwell, and whatever may be their occupation or worldly condition. We have striven both for civic righteousness and for National greatness; and we haA-e faith to belieA'e that our hands will be upheld by all who feel love of country and trust in the uplifting of mankind. We stand for enforcement of the law and for obedience to the laAv; our Government is a government of orderly liberty equally alien to tyranny and to anarchy; and its foundation-stone is the observance of the law, alike by the people and by the public servants. We hold ever before us as the all-important end of policy and administration the reign of peace at home and throughout the world; of peace, which comes only by doing justice.
