Hon. Patrick A. Collint ami dthert,
Committee, Ac.: '
Gentlemen In addressing to yon
my formal acoeptAnce of the nomina

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. ; :: :

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

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

safety reposes; the protection of bur

In the consciousness that much has
been done in the direction of cood

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

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

J ment of all the reward of his toil and
of all his income, except what nuty be
I air contribution to necessary

only the right, but the duty of iiree
peoples in the enforcement of ; this
guaranty to insist that such

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. !

ment are 'uncomplainingly borne,

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

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

it produces an absolute aud i f r ed

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

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

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.

we will not neglect the interests of la-

forts to remedy the existing evils we
will furbish no excuse for loss of em -

honest toil. Un the contrary, we
propose in any adjustment oi pur

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

the opinion that while the interests

and efficient protection to these in

striction and prohibition oi immigra

ing them as purchasers of the bene

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

They are offered instead free tobacco

The implication contained In thie
party declaration that

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

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.

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

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.

with which the government could not .

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.
