cv. bv the national democracy.
l nope i may De perminea io
say at the outset that continued
reflection and observation have
confirmed me in my adherence
a a. ..
to the opinions with ; which
heretofore plainly and publicly
declared, touching the questions
involved in the canvass. This
is a time, above all others, when
these questions should be con
sidered in the light afforded by
a sober apprehension : of the
DrinciDles UDon which our gov
ernment 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
wnicn tue vaiue oi any proposi
tion relating to the mainten
ance and administration of our
government can be ascertained
and by which the justice and
honesty of every political ques
tion be judged. If doctrines or
theories are presented which do
not satisfy this test, local A-
meric&nism must pronounce
them false and mischievous.
The protection of the people in
the exclusive use andenjoyment
of their property and earnings
concededly constitutes the es
pecial purpose and mission of
our free government. This de
sicm is so interwoven with the
structure or our plan oi ruietnat
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 have,
however, undertaken to build a
great nation upon apian especi
ally our own. To maintain it
and to furnish through its agen
cy the means for the accom

ln-'maintaining our government
and furnishing the means for
the accomplishment of its legi
timate purposes and functions.
This is taxation under the opera
tion of a tariff for revenue. It
accords with the professions of
American free institutions and
its justice and honesty answer
the tost supplied by a correct
appreciation of the principles
upon which these institutions
rent.
This theory of tariff legisla
tion manifestly enjoins strict
economy in public expenditures
and their limitation to.legitimate
uses, in as much as it exhibits
as absolute extortion and ex
action, by way of taxation, from
the substance ct the people, be
yond the necessities of a careful
and proper administration of
government. Opposed to this
theory the dogma is now boldly
presented, that tariff taxation fa
justifiable for the express pur
pose and intent of thereby pro
moting especial interests and
enterprises. Such a proposition
is so clearly contrary to the
spirit of our constitution and so
directly encourages the distur
bance by selfishness and grsed
of patriotic sentiment that its
statement would rudely shock
Our people, if they bad not &i
ready been ' insiduously allured
from the safe land marks of
principle. Never have honest
desire for national growin, pa
triotic devotion to country, and
sincere regard for those, who
toil been so betrayed to the sup-
ort of a pernicious doctrine,
n its behalf, the plea that our
infant industries should be fos
tered did service" until discredit
ed by our stalwart growth. Then
iouowea tne exigencies vi a ter
rible war which made our peo-
le heedless of tne opportunities
or ulterior schemes afforded by
their willing and patriotic pay
ment of unprecedented tribute;
and now, after a long period of
peace, when our over-burueneu
countrymen a6k for relief and
for a restoration to tne enjoy
ment of their incomes and earn
ings, they are met by the claim
that tariff taxation tor the sake
of protection is an American
system, the. continuance of
which is necessary in order that
high wages may be paid to our
workingmen and a home mark
et provided for our farm pro
ducts. .
These pretenses ; should no
longer deceive. The truth is
that such a system is directly
antagonized bv every sentiment
of justice and fairness of which
Americans are pre eminently
proud. 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
working man suffering from the
importation and - emplyment of
pauper labor instigated by his
professed friends end seeking
security for h'S interests in or
ganized co-operation, still waits
for a division of the; advantages
secured to his employer under
the cover of a "generous solici
tude for his wages, while the
farmer is learning that the
prices of his products are fixed
in foreign markets, where' he
suffers from a competition in

of money to debauch suffrage in j
a Bupport of a policy directly f a--j
vorable to private and selfish
gain. This in the end, must
strangle patriotism and weaken
popular confidenoein the recti
tude of republican institutions.
Though the subject of tariff
legislation involves 'a question
of morals, we cannot, with im
punity permit injustice to taint
the right and equity, which is
the life of the republic, and we
shall fail to reach our national
destiny if greed and selfishness
lead the way. Recognizing
these truths, the national demo
cracy will seek, by the applica
tion of j ust and sound principles,
to equalize to our people the
blessings due from the govern
ment they support to promote
among our countrymen a closer
community of interests, cement
ed by patriotism and national
pride, ana to point out a iair
field, where prosperous ana di
versified American enterprise
may grow and thrive in the
wholesome atmosphere of A-
merican industry, ingenuity.
and intelligence. 1 arm reform
is still our purpose.
Though we oppose the theory
that tariff laws may be passed,
having for their object the
granting of discriminating and
unfair governmental aid to
private ventures, we wage no
exterminating war against any
American interests, we be
lieve a readjustment can be ac
complished, in accordance with
the principles we profess, with
out disaster or demolition. We
believe that the advantages of
free raw material should be ac
corded to our manufacturers,
and we contemplate a fair and
careful distribution of necessary
tariff burdens, rather than the
precipitation of free trade. We
anticipate with calmness the
misrepresentation ef our mo
tives and purposes, instigated
by a selfishness which seeks to
hold in unrelenting grasp its
unfair advantage under present
tariff laws. . We will rely upon
the intelligence of, our fellow
countrymen to reject the charge
that a party comprising a ma
jority of our people is- planning
the destruction or injury of A
merican interests; and we know
they cannot be frightened by
the spectre of impossible free
trade.
FORCE BILL.
The administration and man
ageraent of our government de
pend upon popular will. Feder
al power is the instrument of
taat will not its master. There
fore the attempt of the oppo
nents of Democracy to inter
fere with and control the sut
frage of the States through
Federal agencies, develops a
design, which no explanation
can mitigate, to reverse the
fundamental and safe relations
between" the people and their s
government. Such an attempt
cannot fail to be regarded by
thoughtful men as proof of a
bold determination to secure
the ascendency of a discredited
party in reckless disregard of a
free ixpression of the popular
will. To resist such a scheme
is an impulse of democracy. At
all times and iu all places we
trust the people, as against a
disposition to force the way to
Federal power, we present to
them as our claim to their con
fidence and support, a steady
championship of their rights.
SOUND AND HONEST MONEY.
The people are entitled to
sound and honest money, abso
lutely sufficient in volume to
supply " their business needs.
Hut whatever may be the form
of the peoples currency, national
or State whether gold, silver
or paper it 6hould be so regu
lated and guarded by govern
mental action, or by wise and
careful laws, that no one can
be deluded as to the certainty
and stability of its value. Ev
ery dollar put into the hands of
the people should be of the same
intrinsic value of purchasing
power. With this condition
absolutely guaranteed, both
gold and silver can be safely
utilized upon equal terms in the
adjustment of our currency. In
dealing with this subject no
selfish scheme should be allow
ed to intervene, and no doubtful
experiment should be attempted.
The wants of our people, arising
from the deficiency or imperfect
distribution of money circula
tion, ought to be fuly and
honestly recognized and effi
ciently remedied. It should,
however, be constantly reniem
red t the inconvenience or
j1??8 at m,2htf "e from such a
VJnfZt
borne than the universal distress
which must follow a discredited
currency.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Fublic officials are the agents
of the people. It is therefore
their duty to secure for those
whom they represent tue best
and most efficient performance
of public work. This plainly
can be best accomplished by re
garding ascertained ntness in
the selection of government
employees. These considera
tions alone are sumcientjjustiti
cation for an honest adherence
to the letter and spirit of civil
service leform. ihere are,
however, other features of this
plan which abuudantly com
mend it. Through its operation
worthy men in every station
and condition of American life
is recognized in the distribution
of public employment, while its
application tends to raise the
standard of political activity
from spoils bunting and un
thinking party affiliation to the
advocacy of party principles by
reason and argunieut.
RtUNIOX.
the American people are
generous and grateful; and they
have impressed these charac
teristics upon their government.
Therefore, all patriotic and just
citizens must commend liberal
consideration for worthy 'veter
an soldiers and for the families
of those who have died. No
complaint should be made of
the amount of public inotiey
paid to those actually disabled
or made dependent by reason of
army service. But our pension
roll should be a roll of honor,
uncontaminated by ill dert
and unvitiated by demegogic
use. This is due to those whose
worthy names adorn the roll,
and to all our people who de
light to honor the brave and the
true. It is also due to those
who in years to come should be
allowed to hear, reverently and
lovingly the story of American
patriotism and fortitude, illus
tratcd by our pension roll. The
preferences accorded to veteran
xoldiers in public employment
should be secured to them boa
estly and without evasion, and
when capable and worthy, their
claim to the hopeful regard and
gratitude of the their country
men should be ungrudgingly
acknowledged.
PATCRXALtSU.
The assurance to the people
of the utmost individual liberty
consistent with peace and good
order is a cardinal principle of
our government. This gives no
sanctionto vexatious sumptuary
laws which unnecessarily inter
fere with such habits and cus
toms of our people as are not
offensive to a jjust moral sense
and are not inconsistent with
good citizenship andthe public
welfare. The same principle
requires that the line oetween
the subjects which are properly
within governmental control
and those which are more fit
tingly left to paternal regula
tion should be carefully kept
in view and enforced education,
wisely deemed a proper prepara
tion for citizenship, should not
involve the impairment of
wholesome paternal 'authority
nor do violence to the household
conscience, raternaiism in
goverment finds no approval in
the creed of democracy. It is
a symptom of misrule, whether
it is manifested in unauthor
ized gifts or in unwarranted
control of personal and family
affairs.
Our people still cherishing
the feeling of human fellow
ship which belong to our begin
ning as a nation, require their
government to express for them
their sympathy with all those
who are oppressed under any
ru'e less free than ours.
IMMIGRATION. -
A generous hospitality, which
is one of the most prominent of
our national characteristics,
prompts us to welcome the
worthy and industrious of all
lands, to homes and citizenship
among us. This hospitable
sentiment is not violated, how
ever, by careful and reasonable
regulations for the protection of
the public health, nor does it
justify the exception of immi
grants who have no appreciation
of our institutions and whose
presence among us is a menace
to peace and good order.
NICARAGUA!! CANAL.
The importance of the con
struction of the Mcaraguan
ship canal as a means of pro
moting commerce between our
State and with foreign countries,
and also as a contribution by
Americans to the enterprises
which advance the interests of
the world of civilization, should
commend the project to govern
mental approval ana endorse
ment.
COLUMBIA EXPOSITION.
Our countrymen not only
expect from those who represent
them in public places a seduius
care for the things which are
directly and palpably related
to the material interests, but
they also fully appreciat) the
value of cultivating our nation
al pride and maintaining our
national honor. Both their
material interests and their
national pride and honor are in
volved in the success of the
Columbian Exposition; and
they will not be inclined to con
done any neglect oi enort on
the part of their government to
insure in the grandeur of this
event a fitting exhibit of Amer
ican growth and greatness, and
a splendid demonstration of
American patriotism.
' CONCLUSION.
In an imperfect and incom
plete manner. I have thus en
deavoredto state some of the
things which accord with the
creed and intentions of the par
tv to which l have given my
lifelong allcgience. My attempt
has not been to instruct my
countrymen nor my party, but
to remind both that democratic
doctrine, lies near the principles
of our government and tends to
promote the people s good; i
am willing to be accused of
addressing my countrymen
upon trite topics and in a
homely fashion, for I believe
that important truths are found
on the surfuco of thought, and
that they should be stated in
direct and simple terms.
Though much is left unwritten,
my record as a public servant
leaves no excuse for misunder
standing, my belief and position
on the questions which are now
presented to the voters of the
land for their decision.
Called for the third time to
n present the party of my choice
in a contest for the supremacy
of democratic principles, my
grateful appreciation of its con-
iidence, less than ever, eitaces
the solemn sense of my respon
sibility. If the action of the conven
tion you represent shall be en
dorsed by the suffrages of my
countrymen. 1 will assume the
duties of the great office for
which I have been nominated,
knowing full well its labors and
perplexties, and with humble
iiisjMiirV upvu IIVJL1IU uciu
infinite in power to aid. and
constant in a watchful care over
our favored natiea.
Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
Gray Gables, Sept, 26, '92.
Some of Cleveland's Saying..
The legitimate motive of our
Government is to do equal and
exact justice to all our people,
and grant special privileges to
none.
It is by those who have special
interests to serve and not by
those whose interests are in com
mon with the masses that the
ballot is corrupted.
If the people are capable of
self-government and are to re
main so, there cannot be too
many safeguards about the ex
pression of their will.
The discontent of the employ
ed is due,, in a large degree, to
the grasping and heedless ex
actions of employers, and the
alleged discrimination in favor
of capital as an object of govern
mental attention.
The nation that cannot resist
aggression is constantly ex
posed to it. Its foreign policy
is, of necessity, weak, and its
negotiations are conducted with
disadvantage, because it is not
in condition to enforce the terms
dictated by its sense of right
and justice.
It will not do to say this is an
old and determined contention.
The Ten Commandments are
thousands of years old, but they
and the doctrine of Tariff Re
form will be taught and preach
ed until mankind and the Re
publican party shall heed the
injunction, "inou suau qui
steal."
The laboring man, bearing in
his hand an indispensable con
tribution to our growth .and
progress, may well insist, with
manly courage and as a right,
upon the same recognition trom
those who make our laws as is
accorded to any other citizen
having a valuable interest in
charge.
It is evident that tariff regula
tion by treaty diminishes that
independent control over its
own revenues which is essential
for the safety and welfare of
any government. Emergency
calling for an increase of taxa
tion may at any time arise, and
no engagement with a foreign
power should exist to hamper
the action of the government.
Our people must not deceive
themselves as to the true object
of Weavers visit to this State.
Gen. Weaver knows that he
will not be elected. He is not
only convinced of this, but
every observant reader must
also be. What is he doing in
in the South then f
He is here in furtherance of
the Republican plan to "break
the solid South." Many at
tempts have been made by Re
publicans to destroy the solidity
and integrety of the Democratic
party in the South, but all such
attempts have heretofore failed;
and let us hope that this last
will fail too. Democrats must
defeat it. Raleigh Chronicle.
The fact is as shown by
re-
ports being received at
Wash-
ington that while the campaign
is somewhat relieved of the
senseless hurrah and excitement
which usually accompany na
tional elections, the people are
none the less interested, and
the Democracy is greatly profit
ing by the quiet consideration
being given the issues of the
campaign. The tariff is recog
nized as emphatically the great
question of the day, ana tne
evidences are multiplying that
the people are awakening to a
realization of the indefensible
injustice of a system that de
spoils the many for the purpose
of enriching the few, which is
the end and aim of a protective
tariff, and especially of the Mc-
Kinley law. inis leeung is
confined to no section of the
country, but its expression is
beard alike from manuiactunng
New England and from the
agricultural West and North
west, mat its enect win uo
felt in a marked degree there
can be no doubt, and the leaders
are confident that they win win
on this issue alone, to say noth
ing of the iniquitous force bin
and other questions on which
the party stands in the position
of a defender of the people's
rights and liberties.
