CLEVELAND IS HEARD. HE WRITES HIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. fariff Reform the Principal Clause In Ills Creed—Sound and Honest Money and Civil Service Reform Demanded — Support of the World’s Fair. Text of the Defter. Following is the letter of Grover Cleveland accepting the nomination as the Democratic candidate for President of the United States: To Hon. William L. Wilson and others. Committee, etc: Gentlemen—ln responding to your formal notification of my nomination to the Presidency by the National Democracy, I hope I may be-permitted to say at the outset that continued reflection and observation have confirmed me in my adherence to the opinions, which 1 have heretofore plainly and publicly declared, touching the questions involved in the canvass This is a time, above all others, when these questions should be considered in the light afforded by a sober apprehension of the principles upon which our government is based and a clear understanding of the relation It bears to the people for whose benefit. It was created. We shall thus be supplied with a test by which the value of any proposition relating to the maintenance and administration of our government can be ascertained, and by which the justice and honesty of every political question can be judged. If doctrines or theories are presented which do not satisfy this test loyal Americans must pronounce them false and mischievous. The protection of the people in the exclusive use and enjoyment of their property and earnings concededly constitutes the especial purpose and mission of our free government.

;T wW f < L" GROVER CLEVELAND. This design is so interwoven with the structure ot our plan of rule that failure to protect the citizen in such use and enjoyment, or their unjustifiable diminution by the government itself, is a betrayal of the people’s trust. We ha,ve, however, undertaken to build a great nation upon a plan especially our own. To maintain it and to furnish, through Its agency, the means for the accomplishment of national objects the American people are willing, through Federal taxation, to surrender a part of their earnings and Income. Tariff legislation presents a familiar form of Federal taxati in. Such legislation results as surely in a tax upon the dadylifeof our people as the tribute paid directly Into the hands of the tax-gatherer. We ftei the burden of these tariff taxes toi palpably to be persuaded by any sophistry that they do not exist or are paid by foreigners. Such taxes, representin : a diminution of the property rights of the pco; 1-, are only justifiable when laid and collected 'or ti e purpose of maintaining onr gnernmet and furnishing the means for the scwnpild m -nt of its legitimate purposes and func'l n This is taxation under the operst on e: a tariff for revenue. It accords with the professions of American free institutions cud its justice and honesty anwwer the tostrr 1111 i»ll»v n correct MDDrwclation ot the pr;rwi|Uvs upon ah n institutions red. enjoins strict ece. loi.i u’peui <■ s t . i-ti.ui -a and their lin.itat’o - <<> e it;m .t - public u>es. inasmuch as it e\ ibtls a- nb elute extortion any exaction, byway o t: it ion. from the substance of the peon e l> yom- the m e< s-ities of a careful an I prop, t ad mn. -Irat ion of government. Opposed to this th o i '' e dogma is now boldly present-<1 th..t t rdf i xa'iou is justifiable for the it; res. i u: ■ :.nd intent of thereby promotii—- t । - t-al interests and enterprises. Such a ptei o-;tio:i is so clearly contrary to the spi;of onr l oostitut ion. and so directly enionr g s the OKtirbance by selfishness ami gt ■ of pdii- tic sentiment, that its statenieat woual rudely shock our people If they had n it alreaoy been insidiously allured from the safe :an r,narks of principle. Never have honest desire ft r national growth, patriotic devotion to eotmtiy t.nd sincere regard for those who toil beet so betrayed to the support o f a j erhi tot’s doettine. In its behalf the plea that our infant industries should be fosteie I did st rvlce until discredited by our stalwart groath; then followed the exigencies of a ternb.e war. w nich made our people heedless of the opportunities for ulterior schemes afforded by the willing and patriotic paynit n of unprecedented tribute: and now. after a long period of pea e.'when our overburdened tountrymen ask for relief and a restoration to a iulb r enjoyment of their incomes and learnings, they are met by the claim that tariff taxatio i for the sake of protection is an American system, the continuance of which is neot ssary in order that high wages may be paid to our workingmen and a home market be provide i for onr farm products. These pretenses should no longer deceive. The truth is that such a system is directlyantagonized by every sentiment of justice and fairness of which Americans are pre-eminently jiroud. It is also true that while our workingmen and farmers can the least of all our people defend themselves against the harder home life which such tariff taxation decrees, the workingman suffering from the importation and employment of pauper labor. Instigated by his professed friends, and seek! g security for his interests in organized co-operation, still waits for a division of the advantages sesured to his employer under cover of a generous solicitude tor his wages, while the farmer is learning that the prices of his products are fixed in foreign markets, where he suffers from a competition invited and built up by the system he is asked to support. The struggle for unearned advantage at the doors of the government tramples on the rights of those who patiently rely upon assurances of American equality’. Every governmental concession to clamorous favorites invites corruption in political affairs by encouraging the expenditure of money to debauch suffrage in support of a policy directly favorable to private and selfish gain. This in the end must strangle patriotism and weaken popular confidence m the rectitude of republican institutions. Though the subject of tariff legislation involves a question of markets, it also involves a question of morals. We cannot xvith impunity permit injustice to taint the spirit of right ’ and equity, which is the life of our republic; and we shall fall to reach our national destiny if greed and selfishness lead the way. Recognizing these truths, the National Democracy’ xvill seek by the application of just and sound principles to equalise to our people the blessings due them from the government they support, to promote among our countrymen a closer community of interests, cemented by patriotism and national pride, and to point out a fair field where prosperous and diversified American enterprise may grow’ and thrive in the wholesome atmosphere of American industry, ingenuity and intelligence. Tariff reform 13 still our purpose. Though we oppose the theory that tariff laws may be passed having for their object the granting of discriminating and unfair aid to private ventures, we wage no exterminating war against any American interests. We believe a readjustment can be accomplished in accordance with the principles we profess withou disaster or demolition. AVe believe that the advantages of freer raw material should be accorded to our manufacturers, and we contemplate a fair and careful distribution of necessary tariff burdens rather than the precipitation of free trade. AVe anticipate with calmness the misrepresentations of our motives and purposes instigated by a selfishness which seeks to hold in unrelenting grasp its unfair advantage under present tariff laws. AVe will rely upon the intelligence of our fellow countrymen to reject the charge that a party comprising a majority of our people is p anning the destruction or injury’ of American interests, and we know they cinnot be frightened by the specter of impossible free trade. The administration and management of our government depend upon popular will. Federal power is the instrument of that will —not its master. Therefore the attempt

of the opponents or Democracy to Interfere with and control the suffrage of the States through Federal agencies develops a design, which no explanation can mi t igate, to reverse the fundamental and safe relations between the people and their government. Such an attempt cannot fail to be re§arded by thoughtful men as proof of a bold etermlnation to secure the ascendency of a discredited party in reckless disregard of a free expression of the popular will. To resist such a scheme is an impulse of democracy. At all times and in all places we trust the people. As against the disposition to force the xvay to federal power, we present to them as our claim to their confidence and support a steady championship ot their rights. The people are entitled to sound and honest money, abundantly sufficient in volume to supply their business needs. But whatever may be the form of the people’s currency, national or State—whether gold, silver or paper—it should be so regulated and guarded by governmental action, or by wise and careful law’s, that no one can be deluded as to the certainty and stability of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of the people should be of the same intrinsic value or purchasing power. AVith this condition absolutely guaranteed, both gold and silver can be safely utilized, upon equal te ms In the adjustment of our currency. In dealing with this subject no selfish scheme should be allow ed to Intervene and no doubtful experiment shoild be attempted. The wants of our people, arising from the defi iency or imperfect distributton of money circulation, ought tx he fully and honestly r^co.nized an 1 eCi entl r me lied, itshou’d, how’ever. be comti.nt.y remembered that the Inconvenience or loss that might arise from such a situation can be much easier borne than the universal distress which must follow a discredited currency. Public officials are the agents of the people. It Is therefore their duty to secure for those whom they represent the best and most efficient performance of public w ork. This plainly can be best accomplished by regarding ascertained fitness in the selection ot Government employes. These considerations alone are sufficient justification ior an honest adherence to the letter and spirit of civ 1 service reform There are, however, oth r features of this plan which abundantly commend it. Through its operation worthy m rit in every station and condition of Amerk an life is recognized in the distribution of public employment, while its application tends to raise the standard of political activity Irani spoils-huntirg and unthinking party r.ffiliaii m to the advocacy of party principles by reason and argument. The American people are generous and grateful, and they have imprissed these characteristics upon their govir.munt. Therefore, all patriotic and just citizens must commend liberal consideration lor our worthy veteran soldiers and for the tamili s of those who have died. No complaint si.or d be made of the amount of public n.eney p«id to those actually disabled or made dependent by reason of army service. But our pension roil shot I I be a roll of honor, unconttni nat( d by ill-desirt and unvitiated by den aeoaic u-e. This is due to those whose worthy nan c ’ adorn the ro I and to all our people who iieli. ht to honor the brave and tne tine. It is also due to those in years to com that they should hear reverently and lov.ngly the stoty ot American patriotism and fortitude iliustr Led by our pen ion roll.

Nutmeg Is I’oisonous Cases are not infre ;u. ntly reported in which children, and sometinn s grown persons, are poisoned by the free use . f nutmegs, it not being generally known that this article of common household use is really a deadly poison. This is irue, in fact, of most common condiments; but the misuse of these articles, such as pepper, capsicum, etc., is so obnoxious to the last •. except when taken in very minute quantities, that the consumer is warned in a A’ery positive manner before be h is had an opportunity to do hints If serious injury. This is not the case, however, with nutmeg. This nut, Avhich contains a poisonous principle of a very • eadly character, may be consumed without inconvenience in quantities sufficient to produce fatal consequen es; and it is surprising, not that death occasi' na'ly occurs from its uso, but that deaths a e not more frequent. A iatal ease has been recently reported, in which a boy of 8 years fell Uito a comatose cond tion after eating two nutmegs, and died within twelve hours. The last days of Louis the Great were embittered by the reverses of his armies, by numerous deaths in his family, and by ailments arising from the vices of his youth. Alexander Pope was 45 years old when he wrote tie immortal “Essay on Man,” and about 25 when he began his translation of the Iliad.

Doctors anfl Tbelr Code. That the code of medical ethics is a thing fearfully’ and wonderfully mad eis a fact frequently brought to the attention of the humble laymen. It double discounts the laws of the Medes and Persians, and lays ihe Pandects of Justinian completely in the shade. It is full o’ sxveet surprises, one of which is the edict that the best work a physician accomplishes shall be c oaked in concealment. The more skillful a surgeon becomes, the greater success a physician achieves as a family practitioner or specialist, the less may be said about it. Un '.er penalty o’ the great taboo, only the disreputable practices to which disciples of the healing art sometimes resort may be made i üblic. Why this is thus no felloxv can find out, but it is. For example, a young surgeon successfully performs a difficult and really remarkable operation. Like every other sei ntific achieve i ent, it is a matter of public intere t, an I is therefore—provi ed the patient consents —an item of legitimate news. Yet when the paper obtains the facts ths surgeon begs that the item oe snppre sed, p eading that, under the cod • of < thu-s, he runs the risk of professioii.il ostracism if his name appears in conn, cl on with the report of the opeiation AVhen Edison makes an important discovery, he can hmald it io the world with perfect prop ic y Taexvorld has a right to know of i . :or ihat discovery or invention w.ll v o d y be the world’s property. So w.ih t.e i.s’ionoiner, the explorer, the w-rker n ai y ine of original reseuich. But ti e । hysician or surgeon, even thou h he br.ng the dead to life or cause the him : to see. will be hauled up with a short, sharp jerk if he but lisp a word of it. He may be far in advance of his fellows, and .n a position to save many lives that would be lost if intrusted to their eaie, but sufferers must not be advised of his skill because, forsooth, s. m * other physician might lose a patient, not by death but by a transference of his patronage. All must be on the dead level for aught the outside world shall know to tho contrary, says the code of ethics. Is such a plan the one best calculated to stimulate effort and awaken ambition? Does it tend to the ehvatlon of the standard of pi o issional skill? Its logical effect would seem to be the opposite. A Cute Oil At« in in. An old woman in Orkney was noted for selling whisky on the sly. Her hou-e was a fetv miles from town, and the excise offlc< rs had tried in vain to get her convicted. So many atten p‘.s ha I failed that they had given up the tusk as impossible. A young officer was appointed to the filace, who said, on being told about ler, that he would soon secure her conviction. Early one morning he left the town and arrived at the old woman's house by 7 o'clo k. Walking in he saw no one, but no icing a bell on the table he rang it. The o'.d woman appeared. He asked fra glass of milk, which was set before him. After a little he rang again, and the old woman appeared. He asked if she had any whisky. “Ay, sir," said she, “wo have aye some in the bottle," setting it down before him. He thanked her and laid down a sovereign, xvhieh she took and walked out. After helping himself he rang again, and asked for his change. “Change, sir,” said the old woman, “there’s nae change. AA’e hae nae license. Fat wo gie we gle in presents; take hi presents.

When He "Knew It All.** Some old people who have strong and decided views as to the intense egotism of youth are open to the charge of possessing a good supply of that quality which years do not always eliminate. One old gentleman who is well past the “three-score years and ten” slotted to mortal man was reasoning, not tong ago, with a youthful friend who has yet to see his twenty-fifth year. “Why, my boy,” remarked the sage in a tone of infinite condensation, “when I was your age I thought I knew everything—everything! But did I? Far from it. Why, it was not until five years ago, my young frieni, that I got to where I then thought 1 was!" The “young friend” is sai to be preparing a paper which deals with what he terms the "Encyelopjdicism of Age.” When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed.

“August Flower” “ I am happy to state to you and to suffering humanity, that my wife has used your wonderful remedy, August Flower, for sick headache and palpitation of the heart, with satisfactory results. For several years she has been a great sufferer, has been under the treatment of eminent physicians in this city and Bost j, and found little relief. She was induced to try August Flower, which i gave immedaite relief. We cannot, say to much for it.” L. C. Frost, Springfield, Mass. ® । RULES FOR SLEEP. Some one, in giving the rules for sleep, says “Six hours for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool.’ But there was never a more misleading statement. The amount of sleep one needs depends upon the amount of mental work he does while he is awake. The man who does a great deal of mental work needs plenty of sleep. Lord Brougham, of England, after the trial of Queen Caroline, during which he had labored night and day for weeks, went to bed and slept for seventy-two hours, and the doctors declared that this alone saved bim from an attack of brain fever. The cure for many nervous diseases is plenty of sleep. At the same time a tendency to yawn and a dull, heavy feeling is one of the signs of malaria. When you are thus affected get a box of the Laxative Gum Drops and take them regularly. Two or three at night upon retiring will soon relieve you of your trouble. You can get them of any dealer. The small boxes cost 10c, the large ones 25c. Stevan Remedy Co.. Peoria. 111.
