"1 have carefully considered the platform adopted by the democratic national Convention,, and unqualifiedly indorse each , plank thereof. "Our institutions rest upon the proposition that fcUmen, being created equal, are entitled to j equal consideration at the hands of the government. Because all men are created equal, it follows that no citizen hus a natural right to injure any other citizen. The main purpose of government being to protect all citizens in tbs enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, this purpose must lead the government first, to avoid acts of affirmative injustice, and, second, to i*strain ftach citizen from trespassing upon the rights of any other citizen. - "A democratic form of government Is conducive to the highest form of civilization. because It- open? before each Individual the greatest opportunities ftfr development and stimulates to the highest endeavor by Insuring to each the full enjoyment of all the rt w ards of toil except such contribution as is necessary to support the government which protects him. Democracy is indifferent to pedigree—it aca.s with the Individual rather than with Ms ancestors. Democracy ignores difference in wealth—neither riches nor poverty can be invoked in behalf of dr against any citizen. Democracy knows no creed—recognizes the ri'th.h of each individual to worship l,cq according to the dictates*of his own conscience: it welcomes all to a common brotherhbod and guarantees equal treatment to ail. no matter in what church Or through what form they commune with their Creator. , , . , . "Having discussed portions of the platform lU the time of Its adoption, sr.d again when your letter of notification was formally delivered, it will not be necessary at this time to touch upon all subjects embraced In the party's declaration A Dual Government. . ' "Honest differences of opinion have ever ’axisted and ever will exist as to the most effective means of securing domestic tranquillity, but no citizen fails to recognize at all times and under all circumstances the absolute necessity for the prompt and vigorous enforcement of law and the preservation of the public peace. In a government like curs law is but the crystallization of the 'will of the people; without it the citizen Is neither secure in I yroent of life att(l liberty nor, protected in the pursuit of happiness.. (Without obedience to law government 1* impossible. The firm- ' oc ratio" party is pledged to defend the .constitution and enforce the laws of the United : Blares, and It is also pledged to respect ' and preserve the dual scheme of government Instituted by the founders of the republic. The name. United States, was happily chosen. It combines the idea of national strength with the idea, of local self-government and suggests "an irtdissoluble union of indestructible states.' Our revolutionary fathers, fearing the tendencies toffard centralization, us well as the dangers of disintegration, guarded against both, and national safety, as well as domestic security, is to be found ir. the careful observance of the. limitations which they impose. Jt w ill be noticed that, while the i t. :V-d VWtcs guarantees to every state a rqiutficaa form of government i, : is et.-c v •,! protect .--ti nmmtagainst invasion; it is not aurharized to interfere in the domestic affairs of any state except upon, application.of the Icgisj lature of the state or upon the application of the executive w hen the legislature cannot t>e convened. . This provision rests upon the sound theory that the people of the state, acting through their legally chosen representatives, are. because of their moreemtimate a* qtminthuce with k“ al conditions, batter qualifier) than the president to judge of the necessity for federal assistarce. Those who framed our constitution wisely determined to make us broad an application of the principles. Os local self-guvi rmn-at us circumstances would permit, and we cannot dispute the correctness of the 'position taken by them without Nrxpressing a distrust of the people ;bcmselvea. . Economy. ' ■ , i - . "Since govefamems c.\ st fi r the proiection of the ifigh’s of the people, and net for their spoliation, ho expenditure of piibli- money can be.justified unless that expenditure is necessary for the honest, economical and vtrteiekt administration of the government.

The Issue of interest-bearing bonds w fttrin tha last few years has be-'n defended on the ground that they' w*re necessary to s> cure gold with which to redeem .United States notes aid treasury notes, but tht* necessity has hee?i imaginary rather than real. Instead of exercising ttM iegal rights vested in tin i'riitcd States to redeem its notes in either gold cr silver, the executive branch of the government has followed a precedent established by a forinct admit:istration and surrendered the option to the holder < f the obligations. This administrative policy leaves the government at the mercy of t hose who find a pecuniary profit in bond issues The fact that the dealers in money *nd securities hav« !-e< r. a'tiic b ;,b :e or protect the treasury, according to their Changing whims, shows how dangerous It is to permit them to exe'eise a controlling • J influence over the treasury department The government of the United States, when sdmintstered In the interest of all the people. »s able to establish and enforce its financial policy, r,ot only dfii|jcnu sid of syndics tea, but )n rnlte.of ai\y oppnsitioh'which ajrndieatea may present..

"THe jHisition taken by the "platform against the Issue of paper money by national bank* Is supported by the highest democratic authority, as well as demanded by the interests oftb.e people. The ent attempt of the national banks to force the retirement of Urited Stat*s note* and trcasurv notes In .order to »< cure a basis for a larger Issue of their own notes llitistrates the danger-wt.ich arises from permit ting them to issue their papenasT* circulating medium.

for those who have risked their lives In Its defense and for those who are dependent upon them. The Producers of Wealth. . “Labor creates capital. Until wealth to produced by the application of brains and muscle to the resources of tt-Js country there is nothing to divide atnoilg the non* producing class of society. Since the producers of wealth create the nation’s prosperity In time of peace, and defend the nation’s flag In time of peril, their Interests ought at all times to be considered by those who stand in otHcial positions. The democratic party has ever found its voting strength among those who are proud to be known as the common people,-and it pledges itself to propose and enact such legislation as is necessary to protect the masses th the free exercise of every political right and in the enjoiyment of their Just share of the rewards of their labor. Arbitration. “I desire to give special emphasis to the plank which recommends such legislation as is necessary to secure the arbitration of differences between employers engaged in interstate commerce and their employes. Arbitration is not a new idea—it is simply an extension of the court df Justice. Th* laboring men of the country have expressed a desire for arbitration, and the railroads cannot reasonably object to the -decisions rendered by an impartial tribunal. Society has an interest even greater than the lnterejst of the employer or employe, and has a right to proti t itself by courts of arbitration against the growing tnconvenience'and embarrass- ; menu-occasioned by disputes between those who own the great arteries of commerce on the one band! and the laborers who op- ) crate them vn the other. immigration. “While the democratic party welcomes | to the country those who come with love for our institutions, and with the determination arrd ability to contribute to the ; strength and greatness o|f our natlqn, it is opposed to the dumping of criminal classes upon our shore?, ahu to the tmj>or- : wit lon of either pauper or contract labor to compete with American labor. Injunction#. •*The recent abuses which have grown I out of Injunction proceedings have been so emphatically condemned by public opinion that the senate bill providing for trial by j jury in certain contempt cases will meet with general approval. i Trusts. “The democratic party is opposed to ■ trusts. It will be recreant to its duty to the people of, the country if It recognises ; either the morkl dr the legal right of these rreat aggregations of wealth to stifle competition, bankrupt rivals.; and then prey i upon society. Corporations are the crea- ; tures of law and they must not be permitt*4 to pass from under the control of the i power which created them: they are permitted to exist upon the theory that they advance the public weal and they must | not be, allowed to use; their powers for the public Injury. 1 Railroads. “The right of the United States government to regulate interstate commerce can not be duestioned. and the necessity for the ] vigorous exercise of that right Is beconflng more and more imperative. The interests of the whole people require such an en- j iargement of the powers of the interstate j commerce commission as will enable It to , prevent discrimination between persons and places, and protect, patrons from unreasonable charges. Pacitic Railroads. “The government cannot afford to discriminate between Its debitors, and must, : therefore, prosecute Illegal claims against the Pacific railroads. Such a policy is necessary for the protection of the rights of the patrons as well as for the Interests . of the government. V y Cuba. “The people of the United States, happy In the enjoyment of the blessings of iree government, feel a generous sympathy toward all who are endeavoring to secure like blessings , for themselves. This sympathy, while respecting all treaty obligation's, is especially active and earnest when excited by the struggte3 of neighboring peoples, who. like ine Cubans, are near enough to observe the workings of a , government which derives' all its authority from the consent of the governed- , The Civil Service. "That the American .petipliTare not in favor of life-tenure in the; civil service is evident from the fact that (they, as a rule, make frequent changes when their OtHcial representatives are chosen by ballot. A permanent jottice-holding class is not in harmony with our institutions. A fixed term in the appointive offices. except where the federal constitution how provides otherwise, would open the piiblic service to a larger number of, citizens without impairing its efficiency.

HOBART’S REPLY. ________ j* Republican Candidate for Vioe President Formally Aooepts. Extract* from His Letter—Give* Hl* Views at Length on the Money Question and Other Issues of tb* ; Campaign, Paterson, N. J., Sept. 10. —Following are extracts from the letter of Hofl. Garret A. Hobart accepting the republican nomination for vice president: Paterson, N. J„ Sept. 9,1896.— Hon. Charles *W*. Fairbanks and others of the Notification Committee of the Republican National Convention: Gentlemen: I have already, In accepting the nomination for, th* offle* of the vice presidency tendered me by the national republican convention, expressed my approval of the platform adopted by that body as the party basis of doctrine. In accordance with accepted usage I beg now to supplement that brief statement of my views, by some additional reflections upon the questions which are In debate before the American people. The money standard of a great nation Should be as fixed and permanent as the nation Itself. To secure and retain the best should be the desire of every rightminded citizen. Resting on stable foundations. continuous and unvarying certainty of value should be its distinguishing characteristic, The experience of all history confirms the truth that every coin, made under any law. howsoever that coin may be stamped, will finally command in the markets of the world the exact value of thn materials which compose It. The dollar of our countrv, whether of gold or silver, should be of full value of 1«> cents, and by so much as any dollar is yvorth less than this in the market, by precisely that sum will some one be defrauded. The free coinage of stiver at the ratio of sixteen to one, Is a policy which no nation has ever before proposed, and it is not today permitted in any mint in the world—r.ot even Mexico. It is proposed to make the coinage unlimited, at an absolutely fictitious ratio, fixed with no reference to intrinsic value or pledge of ultimate redemption. With silver at its present price of le«s than 70 cents per ounce in the market, such a policy means an immediate profit to the seller of silver for which there is no return now or hereafter to the people or the government. It means that for each dollar’s worth of silver bullion delivered ’at the mint, practically two dollars of stamped coin will be given in exchange. For SIOO worth of bullion nearly 200 silver dollars will be delivered. Any attempt on the part of the gov-ern-ment to create by its flat, money of a ttctlI tlous value, would dishonor us in the eye# ; of other peoples, and bring infinite reproach upon the national character. The business and financial consequences of such an Immoral act would be world wide, because our commercial relations are world wide. All our settlements with other lands must be made, not with the mon-y which may be legally current In our own | country, but in gold, the standard of all i nations with which our relations are most cordial and extensive, and no legislative ! enactment can free us from that inevitable necessity. It is a known fact that mors than SO per cent, of the commerce of the world is settled in gold or on a gold basis. Such free coinage legislation, if ever consummated. would discriminate against every producer of wheat, cotton, corn or . t j p—who should In justice be equally entitled. with the silver owner, to selKhis products to the United States treasury, 1 at a profit fixed by the government—and : against all producers of Iron, steel, zinc or copper, who. might properly claim to have ! their metals made into current coin. It would, as well, be a fraud upon all persons forced to accept a currency thus stimulated and at the same time degraded. The proposition for free and unlimited i silver coinage, carried to ils logical coni elusion, and but one Is possible, means. as before intimated. legislative warrant 'i for the repudiation of all existing indebti edness, public and private, to the extent : of nearly b 0 per cent, of the face, of all ! such indebtedness, It demands an nu- : limited volume of flat currency. Irredeemable. and therefore without any standard value,in the markets of the world. Every consideration of public interest and public hon«.r deniands that this proposition should be rejected by the American people. Nor is this all. Not content with a propo- ! sition to tuus debauch the currency and to i unsettle all conditions ot trade und-com-i meiee, the party responsible fhr this piattonn denies the competency of the govern--1 meut to protect the lives and property of its citizens against Internal disorder and, \ loleiKe. it assails the judicial'!muniments reared by the constitution torithe defense Os muiviuuai rights and the public welfare, and it even threatens tq destroy the integrity and independence of the supreme court, which has been considered the last leluge of me citizen against every form ! of outrage and injustice. In Lhp face of the ! serious pern Which, these propositions ent- | uuuy, it would seem mat iueie could be but i one sentiment among right-thinking citizens, as to me auiy of the hour. Alt m-n. ! *,!■ whatever party, who believe in law, and | nave some regard lor the sacredness of individual and institutional rignts. must unite in derense of the endangered interests i of the nation. While the financial issue which has been thus considered, and which has come, as i me result of the agitation of recent y ears, to occupy a peculiar conspicuousness, is admittedly of primary importance, there is anotnet question wnich must command I careful and serious attention. Our hnan- ; ciai and business condition is at this moment oiie of almost unprecedented dei prcssion. Our great industrial sy stem is i seriously paralyzed. I’roUuqtion m many j important branches of manufacture has j altogether ceased. Capital to without remunerative employment. Labor is idle. The revenues ol the government are mi s.uccicul to meet ns o: Salary and necessary expenses. These conditions are not I the result ot accident. They are the outi come of a mistaken economic policy tle- ! tibc-rately enacted, and would' not involve ! ariy violent disturbance of our existing. ! commercial system, to enact necessury tariff modifications along me lines of exI perience. blur party holds that by a wise adjust- . merit of the tariff,, conceived in moderation ams w ith a view to stability, we may I rccurv ah needed revenue, and it declares I that in the event of its restoration to power, it will seek to accomplish mat ifc- ' suit, it holds, 100. that it is the duty of i the government to protect and encourage j m an practicable ways the development of uomesuc industries, the elevation of home | laoor. and the enlargement of. the prosperity ot the people, it does not favor any ior hi cf legislation wsuch wbuid lodge in the government the power to do what the people ought to uo for themselves, but it ! believes that it is both wise and patriotic to discriminate in iavor of our own tnai terral resources, and the utilization, under j the best attainable conditions, of our own capital and our own available skill and ini dustry. j The platform of the republican national convention states the party position concerning other questions than those herein : referred to. These, while at the present ! time of subordinate importance, should not ■ be overlooked. The republican party has ! always been the defender of the rigfitr of ! American citizenship, as against ail ag- : presslons whatever, whether at home t.r i thread. It has. to the extent of Its power, lefended those rights, and hedged them j about with law. Regarding- the ballot as i the expression and embodiment of thesov- ! ereignty of the individual citizen, it has I sought to preserve its purity and Integrity. ! In our foreign relations it has labored to i secure to every man entitled to the shelter i of our flag the fullest exercise of his rights j consistent with international obligation If I u should be restored to rulCrship, il would rinfuse i.ceded vigor Into our relations with j powers which have manifested contempt and disregard, not only of American citizenship. but of humanity itself i am. gentlemen of the committee, very - truly yours.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the trafisient nature of the many physical ills, which vanish before proper efj forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, Which the pleasant family laxative.

If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfact ion.
