CLEVELAND'S LETTER
ACCEPTANCE:
OF
Wherein He Plainly Promulgates
the Sound Doctrine of tlie Demo
cracy Tariff Reform Still Our
Purpose An Able and Vigorous
Document.
New York, Sept. 23, 1892
T,
j lion, iv in. x,. Wilson and others.
Committee, etc.:
Gentlemen. In responding to
your formal notification of my nomi
nation to the Presidency by the Na-t.-'iial
Democracy, I hope I may be
lermittedto say at the outset that
continued reflection and observation
live confirmed me in my adherance
t the opinions which I have hereto
fore plainly and publicly declared
t niching the questions involved in the
canvass.
This is a time above all others when
these questions should be considered
in the light afforded by a sober ap
prehension of the principles upon
which our Government is based and
a clear understanding of the relation
it bears to the people, for whose bene
fi . it was created. We shall thus be
supplied with a test by which the value
of any proposition relating to the
maintenance and administration of our
Government can be ascertained and
bv which the justice and honesty oi
every political question can be judged.
If doctrines or theories are presented
which do not satisfy this test local
Americanism must pronounce them
false and mischievous.
THE TARIFF TAX.
The protection of the people in the
exclusive use and enjoyment of their
property and earnings concededly con
stitutes the especial purpose and mis
sion of our free Government. This
design is so interwoven with the struc
ture of our plan of rule that failure
to protect the citizen in such use and
enjoyment or their unjustifiable dimin
ution by the Government itself is a
betrayal of the people's trust.
We have, however, undertaken to
build a great nation upon a plan es
pecially our own. To maintain it and
to furnish through its agency the means
for the accomplishment of national
objects the American people are will
ing, through Federal taxation, to sur
render a part of their earnings and in
co.ne. Such legisislation results as
sirely in a tax upon the daily life of
oi;r people as the tribute paid directly
in o the hands of the tax-gatherers.
W feel the burden of these tariff taxes
to palpably to be persuaded by any
so histry that they do not exist or are
p: :d by foreigners.
A TARIFF FOR REVENUE.
Such taxes, representing a diminu
ti' u oi the property rights of the peo
pl are only justifiable when laid and
c( Uected for the purpose of maintain
ir j our Government and furnishing the
m ?ans for the accomplishment of its
legitimate purpose and functions. This
is taxation under the operation of a
ta- IT for revenue. It accords with the
pi Sessions of American free institu
tions, and its justice and honesty
answer the test, supplied by a correct
aj preciation of the principles upon
wh;ch these institutions rest.
This theory of tariff legislation
manifestly enjoins strict economy in
public expenditures and their limita
tion to legitimate public uses, inas
much as absolute extortion any exac
tion by way of taxation from the sub
stance of the people beyond the neces
sii es of a careful and proper adminis
tration of the Government.
Opposed to this theory, the dogma
is now boldly presented that tariff
taxation is justifiable for the express
purpose and intent of thereby pro
moting especial interests and enter
pr.ses. Suglj. a proposition is so clearly
contrary tbthe spirit of our Constitu
tion, and so directly encourages the
disturbance by selfishness and a greed
of natriotic sentiment, that its state
ment would rudely shock, our people,
if they had 'not already been insidi
ously allured from the safe landmarks
of principle.
A TERNICIOUS DOCTRINE.
Xever have honest desires for growth,
patriotic devotion to country, and
sincere regard for those who toil been
so betrayed to the support of a perni
cious doctrine. In its behalf, the
JVf -
pica that our infant industries should j or State whether gold, silver or paper
be fostered did service until discred-; it should be so regulated and guar
ited by our stalwart growth. Then j ded by governmental action, or by
followed the exigencies of a terrible ; wise and careful laws, that no one
war, which made our people heedless '. can be deluded as to the certainty and
of he opportunities for ulterior schemes stability of its value. Every dollar put
afu tded by the willing and patriotic into the hands of the people should be
payment of unprecedented tribute; of the same intrinsic value or purchas-
and now, after a long period of peace,
when our overburdened countrymen
ask for relief and for a restoration to
the enjoyment of their incomes and
earnings, they are met by the claim
that tariff taxation tor the sake of pro
tection is an American system, the
continuance of which is necessary in
order that high wages may be paid
to our workingmen and a home
market provided for our farm pro
ducts. BE NOT TJECETVF.Di .
These pretenses should no longer
deceive. The truth is that such a sys
tem is directly antagonized by 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 of our people, defend them
selves against the harder home life
which such tariff taxation decroes,
the workingman suffering from the
inportation and employment of pau
per labor instigated by his professed
friends and seeking security for his
interests in organized co-operation,
still waits for a division of the advan
tages secured to his employer under
the cover of a generous solicitude for
his wages, while the farmer is learn
ing that the prices of his products are
fixed in foreign markets, where he
suffers from a competition invited and
built up by the system he is asked to
support.
fhe struggle for unearned advantage
at the doors of the Government tram
ples on the rights of those who pati
ently rely upon assurances of Ameri
can equality. Every Governmental
concession to clamorous favorites in
vites corruption in political affairs by
encouraging the expenditure of money
to debauch suffrage in support of a
policy directly favorable to private and
selfish gain. This in the popular con
fidence in the rectitude of Republican
institutions.
TARIFF RFFORM STILL OUR PLATFORM.
Though the subject of tariff legisla
tion involves a question of markets, it
also involves a question of morals. We
cannot, with impunity, permit injustice
to taint the spirit of right and equity,
which is the life of our republic, and
we shall fail to reach our national des
tiny if greed and selfishness lead the
way.
Recognizing these truths, the nation
al Democracy will seek by the pub
lication of just and sound principles to
equalize to our people the blessings
due them from the Government they
support, to promote among our country
men a closer community of interests
cemented by patriotism and national
pride, and to point out a fair field,
where prosperous and diversified Ameri
can enterprise may grow and thrive
in the wholesome atmosphere of Amer
ican industry, ingenuity and intelli
gence. Tariff reform is still our pur
pose. Though we oppose the theory
that tariff laws may be passed having
for their object the granting of discrim
inating and unfair Government aid
to private ventures, we wage no exter
minating war against any American
interests.
TO DISTRIBUTE TARIFF BURDENS.
We believe a readjustment can be
accomplished in accordance with the
principles we profess without disaster 1
or demolition. He believe that the
advantages of free raw material should
be accorded our manfacturers, and we
contemplate a fair and careful distrib
ution of necessary tariff burdens, rather
than the precipitation of free trade.
We anticipate with calmness the mis
representation of our motives and pur
poses, instigated by a selfishness which
seeks to hold in unrelenting grasp its
unfair advantage under present tariff
laws. We will rely upon the intelli
gence of our fellow-countrymen to re
ject the charge that a party compris
ing a majority of our people is plan
ning the destruction or injury of Ameri
can interests; and we know they can
not be frightened by the spectre of
impossible free trade.
THE FORCE BILL.
The administration and management
of our Government depend upon pop
ular will. Federal power is the instru
ment of that will not its master.
Therefore the attempt of the opponents
of Democracy to interfere with and con
trol the suffrage 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
Government. Such an attempt can
not fail to be regarded by thoughtful
men as proof of a bold determination
to t-ecure the ascendancy of a discarded
party expression of the popular will.
To resist such a scheme is an impulse
of Democracy. At all times and in
all places we trust the poeple. As
against a disposition to force the way
to Federal power, we present to them
as our claim to their confidence and
support a steady championship of their
rights.
THE MONEY QUESTION.
The poeple are entitled to sound
and honest money, abundantly suffi
cient in volume to supply their busi
ness needs. But whatever may be the
form of the people's currency, national
ing power. With this condition abso
lutely 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 allowed to intervene
and no doubtful experiment should be
attempted. The wants of our people,
arising from the deficiency or imper
fect distribution of money circulation,
ought to be fully and honestly recog
nized and efficiently remedied. It
should, however, be constantly remem
bered that the inconvenience or loss
that might arise from such a situation
can be much easier borne than the
universal distress which must follow a
discredited currency.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Public officials are the agents of the
people. It is, therefore, their duty to
secure for tnose whom they represent
the best and most efficient performance
of public work. This, plainly, can be
best accomplished by regarding ascer
tained fitness in the selection of
Government employes. These con
siderations alone are sufficient justifi
cation for an honest adherence to the
letter and spirit of civil service reform.
There are, however, other features of
this plan which abundantly commend
it. Through its operation worthy
merit 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 hunting and unthinking party
affiliation to the advocacy of party
principles by reason and argu
ment. PENSION FRAUDS.
The American people are generous
and grateful, and have impressed these
characteristics upon their Government.
Therefore all patriotic and just
citizens must commend liberal cosider
ation for our worthy veteran soldiers
and for the 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, uncontaminated by ill desert
and unvitiated by demagogic use.
This is due to those whose worthy
names 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 al
lowed to hear, reverently and lovingly,
the story of American patriotism and
fortitude, illustrated by our pension
roll. The preferences accorded to
veteran soldiers in public employment
should be secured to them honestly
and without evasion, and when capa
ble and worthy, their claim to the
helpful regard and gratitude of their
countrymen should be ungrudgingly
acknowledged.
LAWS OF INTERFERENCE.
The assurance to the people of the
utmost individual liberty consistent
with peace and good order is a car
dinal principle of our Government.
This gives no sanction to vexatious
sumptuary laws which unnecessarily
interfere with such habits and customs
of our people as are not offensive to
a just moral sense and are not incon
sistent with good citizenship and the
public welfare. The same principle
requires that the line between the
subjects which are properly within
government control and those which
are more fittingly ieft to parental
regulation should be kept carefully in
view. An enforced education, wisely
deemed a proper preparation for
citizenship, should not involve the
impairment of wholesale parental
authority nor do violence to the
household conscience. Paternalism in
government finds no approval in the
creed of Democracy. It is a symptom
of misrule, whether it is manifested in
unauthorized gifts or unwarranted
control of personal and family
affairs.
OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Our people, still cherishing the
feeling of human fellowship which
belongs to our beginning as a nation,
require their Government to express
for them their sympathy with all those
who are oppressed under any rule less
free than ours.
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, hawever, by careful and
reasonable regulations for the protec
tion of the public health or does it
justify the ie-eption of immigrants
who have no appreciation of our insti
tutions and whose presence among us
is a menace to peace and good
order.
The importance of the construction
of the Nicaragua ship canal as a means
of promoting commerce between our
States 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
Governmental approval and endorse
ment. Our countrymen not only expect
from those who represent them in
public places a sedulous care for the
things which are directly and palpably
related to their material interests, but
they also fully appreciate the value of
cultivating our national pride and
maintaining our national honor. Both
their material interests and their
national pride and honor are invol
ved in the success of the Colum
bian Exposition, and they will not be
inclined to condone any neglect on
the part of their Government to insure
in the grandeur of this event a fitting
exhibit of American growth and
greatness and a splendid demonstra
tion of American patriotism.
DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINES.
In an imperfect and incomplete
manner 1 have thus endeavored to
state some of the things which accord
with the creed and intentions of the
party to which I have given my
lifelong allegiance. My attempt ha
not been to instruct my countrymen
nor my party, but to remind both that
Democratic doctrines lie near the
principles of our Government, and
tend to promote the people's good. I
am willing to be accused of address
ing my countrymen upon trite topics
and in homely fashion, for I believe
that important truths are found on the
surface of thought, and that they
should be stated in direct and simple
terms. Though much is left unwrit
ten, my record as a public servant
eaves no excuse for misunderstanding
my belief and position on the ques-
ions which are now presented to the
voters of the land for their decision.
Called for the third time to repre
sent the party of my choice in a con
test for the supremacy of Democratic
principles, my grateful appreciation of
ts confidence, less than ever, effaces
the sense of my responsibility.
If the action of the convention you
represent shall be indorsed by the
suffrages of my countrymen, I will
assume the duties of the great office
for which I have been nominated,
knowing full well its labors and per
plexities, and with humble reliance
upon the Divine Being, infinite m
power to aid, and constant in a watch
ful care over our favored nation.
Yours, very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
Gray Gables, September, 26, 1892.
THE LAND OF USED-TO-BE.
Bevond the purple, hazy trees
Of Summer's utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies the land long lost to me
The land of Used-to-Be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens clung
Along their dripping brinks, and sung
to Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
O, such a land, with such a sea,
Kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Used-to-Be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with bells of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even in the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me,
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed over with the glee
Of rare old Used-to-Be.
0 land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining field and shady spots,
Of coolest, greenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forget-me-nots.
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out of the past: I kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-Be.
1 love ye all, and with wet eyes
Turned glimmeringly on the skies.
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Till o'er my soul a silence lies,
Sweeter than any sone to me,
- Sweeter than any melody,
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three
My dreams of Used-to-Be.
James Whitcomb Riley.
SOME CUSTOMS IN NORWAY
AND SWEDEN.
Dr. Hunter McGuire, the well
known physician and surgeon of Rich
mond, Va., has just returned from a
trip to Europe. In conversation with
a reporter of the Richmond Times,
speaking of his travels in Norway and
Sweden and certain customs in vogue
there, he says:
I found the people of Norway and
Sweden very gentle and kind, but
very primitive in their ways. We
stopped at a railroad station for a
meal, and entered a large room, in
the centre of which we found a big
table and upon it spread out the dif
ferent articles of food. We were not
waited on, but helped ourselves to
what we wanted. We could drink
wine or beer with our meal, and when
we left we had to pay a small sum for
the same. They simbly took our
word for what we had consumed.
In Sweden when you ask for a bath
you are admitted to the establishment
and when you are ready to bathe a
woman comes into the room to wash
you. The people there consider it a
woman's duty to take care of you as if
you were a child.
She rolls up her sleeves and takes
hold of a brush, which she dips into a
basin of soap suds and starts in to
work on you with a hissing sound, like
a hostler in this country grooming the
horses.
You may be sitting on the edge of
the tub, wondering if the water will be
too warm for you to bathe in, but at
her appearance you dive into the
water without further considering its
temperature, and she at once begins a
literal scrubbing. You may protest as
you like and tell her that you don't
want her, that you are married and a
respectable gentleman and competent
to bathe yourself. It does not matter.
She replies in a peculiar language,
which you don't understand, turns
you over like a child and scrubs every
portion of your body before she lets
you go.

WEAVER IN RALEIGH.
;
ine demonstration in honor of,
Gen. Weaver in Raleigh last Thurs-
day was not as big a thing as had !
been predicted it seems. There was j
enthusiasm enough but the crowd was ;
much smaller than the Third party
leaders and managers had led the j
public to suppose it would be. The j
Raleigh correspondent of the Wil-
mington Messenger says this of it : '
Stand no- in .in 1 inner tvinrl.-.vv
upper window on
Fayetteville street, your correspondent
looked at the procession as it formed
at the Yarboro to receive Weaver. At
its head was a big man bearing a big
national flag of bunting, topped by a
white streamer, blazoned on which was
'Weaver and Field." As the pro
cession moved there was no music, no
sounds save the shouts. Behind the
color bearer rode A. C. Creen, of
vake, the chief marshal, with sash of
red, white and blue. After him was
in which chairman Otho
Wilson and Gen. Weaver rode on the
front seat, while in the rear one were
Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Lease. All
four wore big rosettes made of corn
shucks. Abreast of the carriage,
nearly surrounding it, in fact, moved
a column of men nearly as wide as the
wide street. In a carriage just in rear
were Dr. Exum, Mr. W. H. Worth,
Mr. Stroud and other party nominees.
Behind these rode, bv actual count.
168 men on horseback, twenty-eight
of these being colored, and some be
ing boys of 12 to 15 years. Along
side of this cavalry detachment
marched many on foot, and behind it
came the vehicles, there were forty
eight of these and in them were 1x2
men", of whom fifty-eight were negroes.
n fact, the negroes were roughly es-
imated to compose at least a fifth of
the procession.
In order to be on the safe side your
correspondent asked Republicans how
many people were in the parade, in
cluding those moving with it on the
sidewalks. They said "not over 1,-
000." Democrats said that nearly a
third of these paraders had been Re
publicans or were now.
Now then for a statement. This
rally was the result of weeks of work.
Chairman Wilson determined to make
a show of strength here. He told me
lie would have people from fifty coun
ties. Another Third party man, G.
L. Tonnoffski, assured me early to-day
that 15,000 of his party would be
here. They failed to show up. What
were here represented the parry's
strength in this tier of counties. It
gave the Democrats something to go
upon in forming an idea of that
strength.
It was about 11:50 when the speak-
ng began at pretty Brookside park.
n the big pavillion there sat Gen.
Weaver and his wife and Mrs. Lease.
Grouped near them were Dr. Exum
and other Third party lights. Chair
man Wilson was at hand and on the
platform were a lot of the marshals,
white and colored, wearing their sashes
of white cotton bagging. One negro
marshal wore a whole suit of that ma
terial.
Chairman Wilson introduced Gen.
Weaver as the next President. There
was great cheering and certainly
Weaver could find no fault with the
enthusiasm of his devotees. Your cor
respondent, wishing to get a nonpar-
isan estimate of the crowd at the
peaking asked Mr. T. R. Pumell for
lt
He said "about 3,000. After
wards Democrats and Third party men
said that was about the figure. Some
thought 2,500 was more nearly correct.
Of the crowd it is safe to sav a third
were Democrats. Cleveland badges
were plentiful. As your correspon
dent talked with Chairman Simmons
the latter said.- "There are plenty of
Democrats here. There are 150 of
them in a body from Johnston county."
At this remark a man just in the rear
said: "Yes, that's so. and I am one
of them."
Mr. Loge Harris was in the proces-
sion. it was a great day lor mm, anci
he expressed his delight, declaring
that the Republicans were losing
ground daily. This went quite at
ariance with what Victor Djckery,
at Republican headquarters said, his
remark being that no negroes would
vote the Third party ticket, save those
who were hired to do so, thos-j being
only a few leaders who really could
; out of the Re
publican party any mora than Charles
rice led Democrats into the Repub-
ican ranks, it should ue staieo mat
plenty of Republicans such as 0-car
Speares and ex-Sheriff Rogers, of Gran
ville, were on the stand at the speak-
K . ... , , -
the following account: !
here to a eood crowd to-day. The !
speaking was not marked by any inter-
,-r,f,- frm tVf rrn:H w'nirh w.-i;
good natured and seemed to enjoy the
scene. The Third party managers had j
arranged to make the meeting here aj
rand demonstration. People caraei
in wasons twentv mues to attena. 1 ne
procession formed at the foot of Fayette
ville street, marched to the Capitol,
thence to Brookside park. There were
about 350 men on horseback and in
vehicles. One thousand others were
in the procession and about 2,000 not
in line. After all the Third party ef
forts to get people here from five Con
gressional distrscts, there were only
T.sooreal members of the party present
though it was claimed that twenty coun-'
j ties 1 ad representations.
j Weaver spoke an hour and a quarter.
Mrs. Iease, an hour, and then the
audience dispersed. There was no
demonstration and no sensation of any
kind. After the shaking was over
thac cheers were proposed and given
for Weaver, Field, Mrs. Lease and the
Third party.
THE TWO SIDES,
.
iilttnmaciurers 6611
Goods Cheaper Abroad Than at
Home.
fSt. Louis Uepiiblic.
Where they are able to get untaxed
raw material our manuf.u.'urcrs rani
export goods at 1 profit. We have a
good export business in 1-athcr and
leather goods, and a considerable ex-!
yjn. 11 due mso in agricultural imple
ments. In this latter branch home
and foreign trade lists show that our
manufacturers give their foreign cus
tomers a heavy discount from their
American wholesale prices. This of
course they are obliged to do to get
the trade, as foreigners are not obliged
by the law to pay McKinley prices.
When European plows are offered in
South America at 40 per cent, under
McKinley prices, our exporting manu
facturers must cut 41 per cent, or lose
the trade. This is so plain that it is
self evident; yet some manufacturers
have been inconsiderate enough to
deny it. Mr. A. I. Farquhar, the
head of the Pennsylvania Agricul
tural works, is more candid, how
ever. He sells largely both at home
and abroad, and he makes no pre
tense that he tries to keep up McKin
ley prices when outside the lines of
the McKinley tariff.
He declares that he is ready to meet
competition on the merits of his
goods.
"The farmer is being destroyed,"
he says. "We are killing the goose
that lays the golden eggs; and I hon
estly believe no.v that it is to the
interest of the manufacturers to
eliminate the protective feature from
our tariff lar.vs. Certainly if our
manufacturers are sold much lower
abroad we could only need pro
tection to get prices from our cus
tomers at home. We do manufac
ture and sell in Canada, South Am
erica and Europe many agricultural
implements and machines, and could
we have have free raw material and
the commercial advantages which
free trade would give us, America
would become the great manufactur
ing emporium of the world, and the
farmer of course would share the
prosperity, since he would have less
to pay for everything and get better
prices for all he sold."
This is common sense, but so long
as'a manufacturer believes in artificial
McKinley prices and shrinks from
competition on the merits of his goods,
it is idle to expect him to show com
mon sense. But it is even more idle
for McKinley manufacturers to deny
that they sell cheaper abroad than
they do at home, if they sell abroad
at all. If they did not, on what grounds
would they ask the American people
to go on paying McKinley taxes to
protect them at home from the com
petition they meet as soon as they get
beyond the lines of McKinley custom
houses?
A GREAT MUSICIAN DEAD.
f Charlotte Times.
Patrick S. Gilmore, the great
band leader, who died of heart disease
in St Louis Saturday, lias been a
public benefactor and people from all
oer the civilized world will feel a touch
of sorrow at the thought that he is not
more. We doubt if there is any thing
more ennobling than music. It expands
the soul and gives us the be.-,t sugges
tion of a future world. It inspires men
with heroism. It is emblematic o!
purity and the rebuker of every base
sentiment. It imparts a sweet sympa
thy which the sorrowful can find no
were else. It is the enemy ofmorose
ness and bad temper. It smoothes out
the wrinkles of the face and gives it the
glow of life and hope. Such has been
the work of this great musician.
Gilmore furnished the music for the
Charleston Democratic convention of
i860. He was with Burnside in this
State during the war. He has given
concerts all over the world and won
numerous medals. He has lead
