Collint ami dthert, Committee, Ac.: ' Gentlemen In addressing to yon my formal acoeptAnce of the nomina tion to the Presidency of the' United Statee my thoughts persistently dwell upon the impreesire relation of such notion to the American people whose confidence is thus invited, and to the political party to which I belong, jut entering upon the contest for its con tinned supremacy. The world does not afford U speo taele more sublime than is furnished when millions of free and intelligent American citizens select their Chief Magistrate and bid one of their nam- i ber to find the highest earthly3 (honor miu uig iiiu luwauisvi puuuo uuij lu a read; submission to their will. It follows that a candidate for this high office can never forget that when the turmoil and strife which atte&d the selection of its incumbent shall be heard no more there must be a quiet calm which' follows a complete; and solemn self-consecration by the peo ple's chosen President of every faculty and endeavor to the fjejrvice of a confiding and generous nation of freemen. ; :: : HIS LOVB FOB AKZEICA These thoughts are intensihed by the light of my xperience in the Presidential office', which has solemn ly impressed me with the severe re sponsibilities which it imposes,! while it has quickened my love for: our American institutions and taueht me ihe priceless value of the trust of 4 my countrymen. It ia of the high est importance that those who ; ad minister our: Government should ceal ously protect and maintain the rights of American citizens at home and abroad, and strive to achieve; for our country her proper place among the nations of the earth; but there is no people whose home interest iare ao great and whose numerous objects of domestic concern deserve ao much wa'chf nines and ear. Among I these are ihe regulations of a sound !$han eial system suited to our need, thus securing an . efficient agency of na tional wealth and general prosperity; the conatruction and equipment of the means of defence to insure' our national safety and maintain; the honor beneath which such national safety reposes; the protection of bur national domain, still stretching f be yond the needs of the country's I ex pansion, andiita preservation for 'the ettler and pioneer of our marvellous growth; a sensible and'sinoere Ireoog- nitlonof the valoe of American bor, leading to a scrupulous care and Just appreciation of the interests of our workingmen; the limitation and heoking of such monooolistie ; ten- Ldeneies and schemes as interfere 'with the advantages and benefits hich the people may rightly claim; a gen erous regard and j; ' -oars roa ounj susnvaro BOLDirsr ahd I' -i BAILOBS - . i ' and for the . widows and orphan of sooh as have diecLto the end thatwhile the appreciation Of their aerrices and sacrifice! is quickened the application of their pension fond to improper eases may be prevented; protection against the servile immigration which 1 injuriously competes with our labor -jkig aoen in the fields of toil and adds lip oai population an element itmo- ma vi our mauiuuuna ana laws, im possible of 1 uaimilation with ipur people and dangerous to our peace and welfare; a strict and steadfast adherence to; the principles of ijgml service reform and a thorough execu tion of the laws passed for their en forcement, thus permitting to our people the advantages of business methods in I the operation of Jtheir government ; the guaranty to :our eoiorearmtiens of ail their rights of citizenahip, and their just recogni tion and enoonrairement in all things pertaining to that relation; a firm, patient and humane Indian policy, so ii..t i ii.. ii the government the civilization of the Indian may be promoted with re- suiting quiet and safety to theet tiers on our frontier and the curtail' ment of the public expenses by I the introduction of economical methods in every department of the croyern-i men I. g if The pledges contained in the ilat form adopted by the late convetion oi tne national .Democracy lead t& the advancement of these objects land insure good government the aspira- iiuu vi every vrue ajnencan ciuzen and - i THI MOTIVB FOB IVXBT PATHIOTIO AOtlOK akd irrosi. - In the consciousness that much has been done in the direction of cood government -by the present adminis tration and submitting its record to a iair mspecuon qi my countrymen, X endorse the platform thus presented, with the determination that if I am again called to the Chief Magistracy mere soaii oe tne continuance of a devoted endeavor to advance the in terests of the entire country. ft - Our scale ox Federal taxation , and its oonsequehces largely encrroHi at this time the attention of our citizens and the people are soberly consider ing the necessity of measures of relief- I Our government m the creation of the people established to carry out their designs and accomplish their good. It was founded on justice and was made for the free, intelligent, and virtuous people, it is only useful when within their control, and only serves them Well when regulated and guided by their oonatant touch,' It is free government because it guaran tees to every American oitizen the unrestricted Deraonal uae and emiov- J ment of all the reward of his toil and of all his income, except what nuty be I air contribution to necessary faraxveaav. Therefore it ut no only the right, but the duty of iiree peoples in the enforcement of ; this guaranty to insist that such IXT NEE SHOCIO BE 8TB1CTLV LlMITrD TO THE ACTUAL PCBLIC NEEDS- ; It Boems perfectly clear toat wlea the gotornmen'. this instrumentality crc'ed and maintained by the people to lo their bidding, turns upon them, and through utter perversion of ti powers exports from their labor an 1 capital a tribute largely in exoessM the public necessities, the creatilre has rebelled against the oreator iiJ master are robbed by their servants. The coat of the government must continue to be met by the tariff da in collected at our custom houses upon imported goods and by the internal revenue taxes assessed upon spirit uous and maH liquors, tobacco, and oleomargarine. I suppose it is need less to explain that all these duties and assessments are added to the prices of the articles upon which they are levied, and thus oeoome a tax upon al those who buy these articles for ue and consumption. I suppose, too, it is well understood that, the effect'f this tariff taxation is not limited to the consumers of imported article? .but that the duties imposed upon such articles permit a corre sponding increase in price to be laid upon dpmestio productions' of the same kind, which increase is paid by all our people aa oonsumers of our home productions, and entering every American home constitutes a form of taxation as certain and as inevitable as Chough the amount was arkuallt pais isto thb hafd ot the 'tax oathbsbb. ? These results are inseperable front the plan we have adopted for the col lection of our revenue by tariff duties; They are not mentioned to discredit the system, but by way of preface to the statement that every million of dollars collected at our customhouses for duties upon imported articles and paid into the public treasury repre sent many millions more, which, though never reaching the National Treasury, are paid by our citizens as the increased oost of domestic pro ductions resulting from our tariff laws. In these circumstances and in view of this necessary effect of the operation of our plan for raising rev-; enue the absolute duty of limiting tne rate of tariff charges to the ne cessities of a frugal and economical admistration of the Government Seems to be perfectly plain- The oontinuanoe upon the pretext of meeting the public expenditures of such a scale : of tariff taxation isaj draws from the substance of the peo ple a sum largely in excess of the publio needs : is surely something which, uqder a government baaed up on justice, and which finds its. strength and usefulness in the faith ' and trustl of the people, ought not to' be tolerated. ! f 'While the heaviest burdens inei dent to toe necessities of the govern ment are 'uncomplainingly borne, nieifr buSdbxs bxcoxb obibvocs, akd i'1 ibtolxbabli when not instilled t inch, necessi ties. unheoeaaary taxation as unjust taxation, and yet this is our condi-' tion. ; We are annually collecting at our custob bouaes and by means of our internal revenue taxation many millions in excess of all legitimate publio needs. As a consequenoe there now remains in the national Treasury a surplus of more than $130,000,000. No better! evidence could be furnished that the people are exorbitantly taxed. The extent of the superfluous burdens indicated by this surplus will be bet ter appreciated when it is suggested that such surplus alone represents a taxation aggregating more than $108, 000 in a county containing 50,000 in habitants Taxation has always been the fea ture of an organized government; the hardest to; reconcile with the people's ideas of freedom and happiness. When presented in a direct form nothing will arouse popular discon tent more quickly and profoundly thsn unjust and unnecessary taxation. Our farmers, mechanics, laborers and all our citizens closely SCAB THB SLIGHTEST INGB1A8B IB THB ; TAXES ASSESSED upon their lands and other property, and demand a good reason for such increase; and yet they seem to be ex pected in some quarters to regard as unnecessary the volume of insidious andjindireoi taxation visited upon them by onr present rate of tariff duties with indifference, if not with favor The surplus revenue now remaining in tne ireasury not omy lurmsnes conclusive 'proof of unjust taxation, but its existence constitutes a sepa rate and independent menace to the prosperity of the people. This vast accumulation of idle funds represents that much money drawn from the cir culating medium of the country which is needed 3n the channels of trade and business. It is a great mistake to suppose that the consequences which fouow the continual with; drawal and hoarding by the govern ment of thie ourrenoy of the people are not of immediate importance to the mass of our citizens and only con cern those engaged in large financial transactions. In the restless enter prise and activity which free ant) ready money among the people pro duces is found that opportunity for labor and employment and that im. petus to business and production; which bring in their train IBOSPEBITT TO 0DB CITIZENS IB EVXBI STATION AKD VOCATION. New ventures, new investments in business and manufactures, conitruo-, tion of new and important works and enlargement of enterprises already established depend .largely upon ob taining money upon easy terms with fair security, and all these things are stimulated I by the abundant volume of a circulating medium. Even the harvested grain of the farmer remains without a market unless money is forthcoming for its movement and ti asportation to the seaboard. The first results of the scarcity of money among the people u the exac tion of severe terms for its use. In creasing distrust and timidity is fol lowed by a: refusal to loan or advance on any terms. Investors refuse all risks and decline all securities, and in the general fright the money still in the hands of the people is persist; tlr hoard!. It ia arrfta amtai that when this perfectly natural, if not inevitable, stage is reached, de pression in all business and enter prise will, as a necessary consequence, lessen the opportunity for work and employment and reduce the salaries and wages of labor. Instead, then, of being exempt from the influence and effect of the immense surplus ijiug i ile in the national Treasury, ur wage-earnrs and others who rely jpou tueir labor for support are most f a.i 'irrctly concerned in the situa iou. Others bF.fl-G TiiE Al POACH OP THS DA'OEB u; p-uv ir g Mast it, but it will find their daily toil 'or brtHvi uif rpr?d, helpless, and Ufencelens. Sucb a state Of affairs loes not preannt a case of idleness re sulting from disputoa between the aboriuK mu a.'f t hi uiplojpr, but it produces an absolute aud i f r ed stoppage of employmmt Af.d wages. In reviewing the bd tflrce f this accumulated surplus and the s-iale of tariff rates by which' it i produced we must, not overlook the tendeucy towards gross aud soandalonB publio extratagance wh:ch a cor gf-tcf treaa ury induces, nor the fact that m-e maintaining wihont exoin-, m itio time of profound peace, sul-s'uLiia.lj the rate of tariff duties irupo-ed ia the time of war, when the necessities of the government justified t'ae im position of the weightiest burdens upon i the people. Divers plans' have been suggested for the return of this accumulated surplus to the people and the channels of trade. Some of these! devices are at variance with all the rales of good finance, some are delusive, some are absurd, and some betray by their reckless extravagance THE DEMORALIZING INFLUENCE OF A QBEAT 8URPLC8 . of the public money upon the judg ments of individuals. While such efforts should be made as are con sistent with public duty aud sanc tioned by sound judgment to avoid danger by a useful disposition of the surplus now remaining in the Treas ury, it is evident that if its distribu tion were accomplished another accu mulation wotd soon take its place. If the constant now oi r edunaant in come Was not checked at its source by reform in our present tariff laws, we do not propose to deal with these conditions by merely attempting to satisfy the people of the truth of ab stract theories, nor by alone urging their assent to political doctrines. We present to them the propositions that they are unjustly treated in the extent of the present Fet -al taxa tion; that as a result a cont cn of ex treme danger exists, and that it is for them to demand the remedy and that defence and safety promised in the guarantee of their free government We believe that the same means which are adopted to relieve the Treasury of the present surplus and prevent its recurrence should cheapen to our people tne cost oi supplying their daily wants- Both of these ob jects we seek in part to gain by re ducing 1 NKCESSABIXS OF LIPS. We fullv appreciate the importance to the country of our domestic indus trial enterprises. In rectification of the existing wrongs their maintenaaoe and prosperity should be carefully and in! ,a friendly spirit considered. Even such reliance upon the present revenue arrangements as have been invited! or encouraged should be airly and justly regaried. Abfupt and radical changes, which might en danger such enterprises and mjuri ously affect the interests of the labor dependent upon their success and continuance, are not contemplated or intended ; but we know the cost of our manufactured domestic products is increased and their price to ; the consumer enhanced by the duty im posed upon the raw material used in their manufacture. We know that this increased cost prevents theale of our productions at foreign markets in competition with those countries which have the advantage of freeraw material. We know that confined to the home market our manufacturing operations are curtailed, their de mand for labor irregular, and the fate of wages paid uncertain. W e propose, therefore, to stimulate our domestio industrial enterprises by freeing from duty the imported raw materials which by the employment of labor are used in our home menu factures, thug extending the markets for their sale and permitting an in creased and steady production, with 4the allowance of abundant profits. TBUE TO THE DHDEVIATINQ COUBSB OP:THB DEMOCRATIO PABTY, we will not neglect the interests of la- -bor and our workingmen. in all i- forts to remedy the existing evils we will furbish no excuse for loss of em - ployment or reduotion of the wages of honest toil. Un the contrary, we propose in any adjustment oi pur revenue laws to concede suoh en couragement and advantage to the employers of domestio labor as win easily compensate for any difference that may exist between the standard of wages which should be pi id to our laboring men and the rate allowed in other countries. We propose, too, by extending the markets for our manufacturers to promote the steady Employment of labor; while by cheap ening the cost oi tne necessaries oi life we increase the purchasing pow er of the workingmen's wages and Add to the comforts of his home, and .before passing from this phase of the Question I am constrained to express the opinion that while the interests of labor should be always sedulously regarded in any' modification of Our tariff laws, additional and more direct and efficient protection to these in terests would be afford d by tbe re striction and prohibition oi immigra tion or the importation of laborers from other countries, who swarm upon our shores, having no purpose or intent oi Becoming our ienow-oui kens, or of acquiring any permanent luteretft in our country, but orowa every neia ui fciuiu) uit?ui w.i u UNINTELUOBBT LAUOH AT WAUi.S which ought not to satisfy th's- vf lo make claim to American oilii . rfeip The platform adopted by thi. late National Convention of our part) (ion tains the following diKiinM-iori: .AfJndfTad bv.Deniocrn.kLc nruu ; .t;i - th lrAarwi d! the twoora bfe- tray ed when, by unnecesssry taxation, trast and corhb;ntion are permit ted and fostftfVd, vhich, while undn'y enriching the fex that combine, rob the bod? of of our citizens by depriv ing them as purchasers of the bene fits of national competition." Such combinations have alwajs been condemned Ijrj tbe Itmocratio party. Th declaration of its Na tional Convention ia sincerely made and no member of our party will be found excusing the existence or belit tling the pernicious results of these devices to wrong the people. Under various names they have been puA ished br the common law for hul i dreda of years, and they have none of their hateful features because they have assumed the name of trust instead of conspiracies. We believe that these trusts are the natural offspring of a market artifi cially restricted; tht an inordinately high tariff, beside furnishing the temptation for their existence, en larges the limit within which they may operate against the people, and this increases the extent of their power for wrong doing. WITH VNALTBBABLS HATBKD cf all such schemes we count the checking of their baleful operations among the good results promised by revenue reform. While we cannot avoid partisan misrepresentation our position upon the question of revenue reform should be so plainly stated as to admit of no misunderstanding. We have entered upon no crusade of free trade. The reform we seek to inaugurate is predioted upon the utmost care for established indus tries and enterprises; a jealous regard for the interests of American labor and a sincere desire to relieve the country from injustice and the danger of a condition which threatens evil to all the people of the land. We are dealing with no imaginary danger. Its existence has been repeatedly con Ceased br all political parties, and pledges of a remedy have bn made on all sides. Yet, . when In a legisiatiro body where, under the Constitution all remedial measures applicable to this subject must originate, the Demo cratic majority were attempting with extreme moderation to redeem the pledge common to both parties they wero met by detained opposition and obstruction, and the minority refus ing to oo operate in the House of Representatives or proposing another remedy have remitted tne redemption of their party pledge to the DOUBTFUL POWER OF THE SENATE. Tho people will haidly be deceived by their abandonment of the field of legislative action to meet in a politi cal convention and flippantly declare in their party platform that our con servative and careful effort to relieve the situation is destructive to the American sjstem of protection. Nor will the people be misled by the ap peal to prejudice contained in the ab surd allegation that we serve the in terests of Europe while they will sup j.v tu- inaraabi of America, Thev propose in their platform to thus sup port the interests of our country by removing the internal revenue tax from tobacco and from spirits used in the arts and for mechanical purposes. Tbe; declare also that there should be such a revision of oar tariff laws as shall tend to check the importation of such articles as are produced here. Thus proposing to increase the du ties upon such articles to nearly Or quite the prohibitory point, they con fess themselves willing to travel back ward in the road of civilization and to deprive our people of markets for their goods, which can only be gained and kept by the semblance at least of interchange of business, while they abandon our consumers to the unre strained oPFBiseiOK or dcmistio tstjrt end combinations which . are in tbe same platform perfuactorily con demned. They propose further to release entirely from import duties all articles of foreign production ex cept luxuries, the like of which can not be pro lueed in this country. The plain people of the lard and the poor who scarcely use articles of any de scription produced exclusively abroad and not already frco will find it diffi cult to dieoover where their interests are regarded in thie proposition. Tbey need in their homos cheaper domestio necessities, and this seems to be en tirely unprovided for in this proposed f chemo to serve the country. Small compensation for thiB neglected need is fonnd in the further purpose here announced and covered by the declar ation that if after the changes elready mentioned there still remains a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government the entire internal taxation should bo repealed rather than surrender aoy part of our pro tective system- Our people nsfc relief from tho un due and unnecessary t'urden it ta-iff taxation now resting upon ihcm. They are offered instead free tobacco and free whisky They ak for bread and thoy are giren a kiodg The implication contained In thie party declaration that DBPEBATB MBA8DKB3 are ju8tiufd or neoeeiary to rave from destruction or surrender what is tunned onr protective sjetem should confuse no ouo Tho existence of such a system is entirely consistent with the regulation of the extent to which it should be applied nud the correction of its abuses. 1 Of course in a count ly as gicat m ours, with suoh a wonderful variety of interests, often leading in entirely different directions, it is difficult, if not impossible, to settle upon a per feet tariff plan. But in accomplish ing the it form we have entered upon the necessity of which is so obvious that I believe we should not be con lent with a reduction of the revenue, involving the prohibition of importa tions and the removal of the internal :tx upon whiskey. It can be better and more safely done within the lines of granting actual relief to the people iu their means of living, and at the saine time giving impetus to our do mestio enterprises and furthering our national welfare. If misrepresenta tions 01 our purposes and motives are to gun credence and defeat our preaJailed to take away the power , - "Vi - nt effort in this direction ther moms to be no reason why 0ver Kleavor in the future to accomplish BEYEKUE BEFOBM sbontd be likewise attacked aud with a like result. And yet no thoughtful man can fail to see in the continuance of the present burdens of the people and the abstraction by the govern ment of the currency of the country inevitable distress and disaster. All danger will be averted by timely action. The difficulty of applying a remedy will never be less, and the blame should not be laid at the door of the Democratic party if it is ap plied too late. With a firm faith in the intelligence and patriotism of our countrymen, and relying upon the oonvictic that misrepresentation will not influence them, prejudice will not cloud their understanding, and that menace will not intimidate them, let us urge the people's interest and publie duty for the vindieation of our attempt to in augurate a righteous and beneficent re'orm. GBOVER CLEVELAND. OaagTMaloaal. WatTOreroN, Sept. 10 Sxjcatk. During the progress of the desultory political debate with which the Sen ate proceedings opened, the confer ence report on the fortification bill was presented snd agreed to. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill ap propriating $276,619, to be paid to the Chinese minister at Washington as a full indemnity for all losses and injuries sustained by Chinese sub jects who have been "in remote and unsettled regions of the United States victims to injuries in their per sons and property at the hands of awless men," and proceeded to ad dress the Senate in explanation snd advocacy of it, and on the subject of the pending bill for the absolute prohibition of Chinese -immigration. So far as he was concerned ate hud reached the conclusion that the will of the Amer ican people as to the total exclusion of the Chinese laborers was an irre vocable decree, and that that exclu sion must be effected through the operation of law, not through that of the treaty. He propose to adhere to that ground now that it was reached. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, inter rupted Mr. Morgan with a question which brought about neated and unparliamentary personal expressions from both, which have been upon re flection and upon the counsel of mu tual friends struck from the Con gressional Record. At tne close oi Air. m organ s speech his bill was referred to the commit tee on foreign relations. Tbe conference report on the army appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. The House retaliation bill was presented and referred to the oommittee on foreign relations. Mr. Stewart asked unanimous con sent to have the Chinese exclusion bill taken op. Mr Sherman objected. Mr. Stewart then made a motion to that affect and it was carried and the mil tsxen up. Mr. Sherman addressed tbe Senate in favor of Nr. isiair s motion to re consider tbe vote by which the bill was passed. He appealed to the Sen- tors on both sides of the chamber (from considerations of national honor) to allow the bill to stand at the present position until it could be definitely ascertained whether the treaty had been or would be ratified. Messrs. Evarts and Wilson, of Iowa, also spoke from the same stand point as w r. Sherman. Mr. Jonet, cf Nevada, ob'ained the floor and then (on his motion) at 4:15 the Sewste adjourned, without any action on the Chineae bill. HOTSB. Mr. Server, of Texas, presented the conference report on the fortifications appropriation bill and it was adopted. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, from the committee on postoffices and post roads, reported the bill authorizing the 1 oatmaster-General to advertise for and purchase improved road looks and keys. He requested immediate consideration of the bill, which was accorded snd the bill was passed. Under the call of States tbe follow ing bills were introduced snd re ferred: By Mr. Henderson, of North Caro lina, to check and nullify the baneful operations of trusts. 15 t Mr. Motlammy, of North Caro lina, to provide for . an inland water way between New York and Florida. By Mr. Crain, of Texas, to exempt ootton bagging from the payment of duty. The House then resumed the con sideration of the conference report on the sundry civil bill. The pend ing Senate amendment was that ap propriating $250,000 for the purpose of investigating the extent to which the arid regions of the United States ean be redeemed by irrigation and reserving as the property of the United States all lands which may be designated for reservoirs and canals for irrigation. The pending motion was that made by Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, to concur in the amendment with an. amendment, reserving from sale or enfay until otherwise provided, all laws made, susceptible of irrigation. Mr. Bacon, of New York, took ad vantage ot the debate, to deliver a speech on tbe Bubject of trusts, but as his time was limited he had merely opportunity to touch briefly upon the cotton bagging trust. This in dustry which had been protected into existence had grown so great that it made no concealment of its power or its purpose to use the monopoly the tariff law had given it to oppress and to put under contribution the growers of the entire cotton crop of the country. Was this combine which derived every particle of its power from laws passed by Congress, which demanded a surrender of its victima in tbe name of labor and the Congress of the United States, purely a private enterprise with which the government had no right to inter fere t The government had given it its power to oppress; the government could take it away. The government was responsible for the oppression, and must remain so as long as it so hjaniarully mis use used. ai nugns Kwd poUfha to pro I smooth things to those who were ra tnbetua, terouted u the prostsrvatiou of trmts and eorrjbines, and to sny f thm tbt theyj were largely pnvatp matters with which the government could not . interfere But the strong, sound senae of the people would detect the fallacy unworthy tbe reaoa of its ut , terance Cotton bagging had been protected by what was practically a prohibitofy duty; all imports of it had ceased. Here was a case of American; labor protected to the point which, according to the theories of the gebtlemen on tbe other side should produce at onoe the highest rate of wages to the laborer and the loweat ost to the consumer. Aud yet, most-unfor unately.for these the ories of an approaching millenium, the managers of .this combine had net increased; the wages of their laborers, had shut up many factories, thrown out of- employment the operatives, bought bagging of mills at from 6 to 6 J cents a yard and were exacting for it from the cotton grower, rich ' and poor alike, from 11 to 12$ cents a yard. The consideration of the bill was interrupted long enough to allow Mr. Marsh, of Pennsylvania, to present tie conference report on the army appropriation bill. he conferee have agrfed to drop all the Senate provisions for the manufacture of ordnance. ( The bill as reported ap propriates, $24,472,300. After a brief explanation by Mr. Marsh tbe report was adoptied. The sundry civil appropriation bill was then jagain taken up, and, pend ing discussion, the House at 5 o'clock adjourned. Yia' 0.artlit. Br Telecrapi to tbe Newt and Obtorrer. Chioao4 Sept. 10.
