The 1't.illowiiig arc extracts from tlio
letter of ( 1 rover Cleveland ucci'!tin tho
nomination as the Dwinvrulic candidate
lor the presidency of the United States:
TUK TAltltT A TAX.
Tariff legislation presents a familiar
form of Federal taxation. Such legis'o.
tion results as surely in a tax upon the
daily life of our pe .pie. as tlio tiilmto
paid directly in the hand of the tax
gitlierer. We feel the burden of these
tariff tuxes too palpably to be persuaded
by any sophistry that they do not exbt, or
are paid by foreigners.
"Such taxes, representing a diminution
of the property rights of the people, are
only justifiable when laid and collected
for tho purpose of maintaining our gov
ernment and furnishing the means for the
accomplishment of its legitimate purposes
and functions, This is taxation under
tlio operation of a tariff for revenue only.
It accords with the professions of Ameri
can free institutions, and its justice and
honesty answer tho test supplied by a cor
rect up ireciation of the principles upon
which these institutions rest.
TARIFF FOR 1'ROTECTION UNCONSTITU
TIONAL. "Opposed to this theory tho dogma is
now boldly presented that tariff taxation
is justifiable for the express purpose and
intent of thereby promoting special in
terests and enterprises. Such a proposi
tion is so clearly contrary to the spirit of
our Constitution and so directly encour
ages tho disturbance by selfishness and
greed of patriotic sentiment that its state
ment would rudelv shock our people if
they had not already been insidiously
allured from the safe landmarks of prin
ciple. Never have honest desire for
natioual growth, patriotic devotion to
country, and sincere regard for those who
toil been s; betrayed to the support of a
pernicious doctrine. In its behalf the
plea that our infant industries should bo
fostered did service until discredited by
our stnlwcrt growth. Then followed the
exigencies of a terrible war, which made
our people heedless of the opportunities
for ulterior schemes afforded by their
willing and patriotic payment of unpre
cedented tribute; and now, after a long
period of peace, when our overburdened
counlrymena.sk for relief aud a restora
tion to a fuller enjoyment of their incomes
uud earnings, they are met by the claim
that tariff taxation for the sake of protec
tion is an American system, the continu
ance of which is necessary in order that
higher wages may be paid to our work
ingmen aud a home market be provided
for our farm products.
THE FORCE IflLL REVOLUTIONARY
"The administration and uanaguent
of our government depends upon the pop.
ular will. Federal power is the instnr
uicntof that will, not its master. There
fore the attempts of the opponents of
Democracy to interfere with and control
the suffrage of t he States through Federal
agencies develops a design, which no ex
planatiou can mitigate, to reverse tho
fundamental and safe relations 'between
the people aud their government. Such
un attempt cannot fail to be regarded by
thoughtful men as proof of a bold deter
initiation to secure the ascendancy of a
discredited party in reckless disregard of
a free expression of the popul tr will. To
resist such a scheme is nn impulse of
Democracy. At all times and in all
t.laees we trust the people. As against a
disposition to force the way to Feder
power we present to them, as our claim
to their confidence and support, a steady
companionship of their rights.
THE MONEY QUESTION.
"The people are entitled to sound and
honest money, abundantly sufficient in
volume to supply their business needs,
But whatever may be the form of the
people's currency, national or State
whether m!J. silier. or paper -it should
,, n '
bo so regulnted and guarded by govern
mental action or by wise and careful laws
that, no on'? can be deluded us to the cer
tainty and stability of its value. Fvery
dollar put. into the bauds of the people
should be of the same intrinsic value or
purchasing po'.ver. With this eoudition
absolutely guaranteed both gold and sil
ver can be safely utilized upon cipial
terms in the adjustment of our eurreucy.
"In dealing with this subject no selfish
scheme should bo allowed to intervene
and no doubtful experiments should be
attempted. Tho wants of our people
irising from the deficiency or imperfect
distribution of money circulation might to
be fully and honestly recoguizjd and
Ificiently remedied. It should, however,
be constan tly remembered that tlio incon
venience or loss that might arise from such a
situation can be much easier borne than
the universal distress which must follow a
discredited currency.
THE MATTER OF PENSIONS.
"The American peoplo are generous
and grateful, and they have impressed
these characteristics upon their govern
ment. Therefore, all patriotic and just
citizens must commend liberal considera
tion for our worthy veteran soldiers and
for tho families of those who have died.
No complaint should be made of the
amount of public money paid to those
actually disabled or made dependent by
reason of army service. But our pension
roll should be a roll of honor, uncontami
natcd by ill desert and unvitiated by
demagogic use. This is due to those
whose worthy namps adorn the roll and
to all our people who delight 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 aud
fortitude illustrated by our pension rolls.
RESTRICTION OP I ,M MIGRATION.
"A generous hospitality, which is ono
of tho most prominent of our national
characteristics, prompts us to welcome tho
worthy and industrious of all lands to
homes and citizenship among us. This
hospitable sentiment is not violated.
however, by careful aud reasonable regu
lations tor the protection ot tho public
health, nor does it justify the reception
of immigrants who have no appreciation
of our institutions and whose presence
among us is a menace to peace and good
order.
SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
"Called for the third time to represent
the party of my choice in a contest for
tho supremacy ot Democratic principles,
my grateful appreciation of its confidence
less than ever effaces thesoleuiu sense of
my responsibility.
"If the action of the convention you
represent shall be endorsed by, the suf
frages of my countrynieu I will assume
the duties of the great office for which I
have been nominated knowing full well
its labors and perplexities, aud with hum
ble reliance upon the Divine Being, infi
nite in power to aid aud constant in a
watchful care over our favored nation.
'LEST THEY HE DECEIVED.'
In February, 1890, the following ap
peared in the Progressive Farmer as an
editorial :
"It has been asserted time and again
that the Alliance was going iuto politics,
that its purpose is to build up a -third
party, etc. We assert now, as we have
had occasion to say before, that we know
of nothing in the declaration of purposes,
nothing in our demands as an order, noth
ing that has been said by any one author.
izing to speak for the Alliance, nothing
in its action or course, that sustains even
tho semblance of such a ridiculous charge:
None kiow better thau the Hlliaiicemen
that their crtoits tor retorm could in no
way be so surely neutralized us by cult
verting the organization into a poiiuea
party. In no mauner docs tho Alliance
or its obligation interfere with a man's
religion or political freedom lie is left
to his own free will and may belong to
any party which is uot subversive of our
free government. One enemy within the
Alliiiuce doors is more dangerous thau a
score outside. If a mau so far forgets
himself and his duty as an allianecmau
as to presume that he may use the alii
auco and its, fraternal aid in prcmotiu
his selfish ends, the sooner such au one
is taught the lesson that the alliance can
not be made a stepping stoee or tool the
iH'er. S.i we have :iw 1 ngdn ad
monished the brethren, lsi iney bo de

SKN'ATOK VAXCH
APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE TO TURN FROM
THEIR FALSE HODS.
From Senator Vance's letter we take
tho following:
But u new parly has arisen which is
endeavoring to make the people believe
that the Democratic party is no longer to
be trusted. The argument to prove this
is a travesty on common sense. That
because for thirty years they have as a
party steadily opposed all abuses, and
have not been able at anytime to prevent
or reform them, therefore, it is no longer
worthy of tho support of those who de
sire reform? The meaning of this is,
the Democratic party has been guilty of
being in the minority. Its sin consists
in not having done that which it could
not do! Then let it be condemned,
whilst the Republican party, which has
had the power and actually did all these
things, and still has tho power to undo
them and does not, is acquitted? Nay,
we will help to keep it in power by be
traying and destroying its only enemy.
Therefore, as the Democratic party, with
its vast organization in every State, coun
ty and township in the United States,
with its control of one branch of Congress
aud comprising in the popular vote a
large majority of the people in the Union
has not been strong enough heretofore
to effect the reforms for which it has la
bored and wished, being without the
Senate aud Executive, they claim the
only chance for reform is to vote for the
candidates of this third party, whoso ex
istence in the national government and
power to control legislation are evidenced
by three or four members of the House
of Representatives and two in the Senate!
Common sense and self-preservation
would seem to indicato that we should
help the democrats, who are almost in
power, to get altogether in power, and
trust them to correct abuses as they have
promised. One strong pull at the polls
in November next would give them con
trol of both branches of Congress aud
the Executive, nnd the long night of
misrule and injustice would burst into the
dawn of a new and better day. It would
be time enough to leave them and form
a new party when they had been tried
nnd proved faithless.
Many of our people, it is true, have
objected to Mr. Cleveland, and preferred
that he should not have been nominated.
I confess that I was among that number.
But an individual preference before the
nomination of a candidate is one thing,
aud the duty of a true man after thut
nomination has been fairly made is anoth
er and very dilfcrent thing indeed. In
the one case a preference may be indulged
in properly, without danger to the prin
ciples we profess or the party which has
those principles in charge; iu the other
case we endanger both and falsify our
pretensions by contributing undeniably
to the success of our adversaries. If we
refuse to abide by the voice of the ma
jority of our fellow democrats, freely and
unmistakably expressed in friendly con
vention, there is nu end of all associated
party effort in the government of our
country; if we personally participate in
that cou.-ultatiou or convention and then
refuse to abide by the decision of the
tribunal of our own selection, then th'iv
is an end to all personal honor among
men, and the confidence which is neces
sary to all combined effort is gone forever.
The man who bets pri.purbv to collect if
he wins and to repudiate if he loses is iu
all countries and among all classes of'peo
pie considered a dishonest man.
But if thecon-ideratiou of good faith
do not influence men's actions in such
a case as this, surely those which pertain
to tho public welfare ought to be decis
ive. If not satisfied with Mr. Cleveland
it seems to me a-i honest man should bal
ance accouuls, pro nnd con, iu this way:
Cleveland agrees with me in desiring to
reform the oppressive tariff taxation, to
restrict the abuse of corporate privileges,
to repeal the tax on State banks and
iiici-wby :o c;wuJ tlio currency, and above.
all he is Vehemently opposed to force
I 1.ID.J rttnl .ill ttn,!1-, otf.mttu t( iL.ctri-.V
....... umu .... C......U. u....,o w
the rights and liberties of the States. In
all essential reforms he agrees with mo
except iu the single matter of the free
coinage of silver, and iu respect to this
there is reason to hope that the saino
cinder and vigorous investigation which
brought him in full sympathy with his
party on the great question of tariff re
form will soon bring him to see the abso
lute necessity of maintaining both of the
precious metals on a par to meet the ur
gent needs of the currency of the world.
Harrison, on the contrary, agrees with
me in nothing; there is no change or re
form which 1 desire that he is n it bitter
ly opposed to, and his party with him.
Why, then, should I hesitate? Either
my vote for Weaver will help Harrison
and injure Cleveland or it will not it
cannot avail Weaver, for he has no chant e
whatever, will probably not carry a single
State; why, then, should I risk doing a
damage to the candidate who would do
most for me, though he docs not promise
to do all, and contribute to tho election
of the ono who promises me nothing but
an indefinite continuance of existing
wrongs and an insolent threat of othi-i '
and greater wrongs so soon as he has the !
power to perpetrate them?
STOKY OF A SKULL.
NO AFFIDAVIT AS TO ITS TRUTHFUL
NESS IS DEEMED NECESSARY.
A skeleton iu the office of the Vienna
Progress, a doctor's stratagem, and a
frightened editor. Dr. W. S. Howell,
brother of the editor of the Progress, had
this skeleton in a box. One day he
pulled out the ugly, ghastly grinning
skull and began to hand it around. Final
ly he decided that he wanted that skull
open so that he could study the inside
structure. There being several scams in
the skull he decided to fill the skull with
peas and soak them in water, thinking
that they would force the seams apart.
He asked tho editor to help him, and tho
latter poured peas aud water into the
hollow bone and corked up the eye and
nose boles to keep them from running
out.
Some time after, the editor ws startled
to see that the peas had sprouted in the
skull, and the vines were of most wonder
ful growth. Out of the hole where the
backbone is joiued to the neck an amy
of little vines had grown, and by some
unknown instinctive power they bad
twined in and through all the bones of
that body : The young tendrils hud
wrapped around the stovepipe and table
lugs, and the whole skeleton had been
reared upiight iu the room. From the
nostrils aud eyes vines were streaming
that had clustered around and upou the
presses, stand and tables, and from each
joint hung a pod in the likeness of a
small skull, the exact counterpart of the
large one.
It is rumored that when the editor be
held these things he left the ifiice by the
window route, and the skeletou is still in
full editorial control. Atlanta Constitu

This Cure has not yet failed where the
party was in earnest about quitting and
followed directions. Thousands have been
