ALLEN G. THURMAN,
of Ohio.
The republicans have been worryinc.
a great-deal because Cleveland's letter
of acceptance did not appear. Now
that they have got it; they are a great
deal mora worried. It is the work of
a statesman, and has paralyzed their
predictions of what it would be.
The election in Maino on Monday
resulted in a republican majority of
nbnnt 20.000. Four veara aco it was
19,749. To republicans are doing a
crreat amount of crowing over tho re
suit. It pleases them to be able to
hold their own in Blaine's state,
though they made herculean efforts to
do better.
By a vote of 174 to 4 the House
nassed the retaliation bill as asked for
by tho President. This is a magnifi
cent indorsement, but the republicans
are entitled to no credit for it. Ihey
were for tho bill because they saw no
otherway outot the hole intowhichthe
President had pt their brethera of the
senate by his fisheries message.
One of the most absurd lies that has
been told during the campaign is the
one that Cleveland notified the British
government that he didn't mean any
thing by his retaliation message on the
fisheries Question. A Washington cor
respondent is the author of tho report,
and his lie pleased him so well that he
still sticks to it. Nobody is deceived
by such Btuft

A STRAIGTlTKOUWARD DELIVERANCE THAT
IS OVERFLOWING WITH PATRI
OnO SENTIMENT.
The following is the President's let
ter of acceptance:
Washington, September 8, 1888.
Bon. Pitricic A. Collins and oth
ers, comirUtee, eta:
Gentlemen: In addrcssmu to you
mv formal acceptance of tbo nomina
ntion to tho Presidency of the United
States, my thoughts peraistently dwell
noon tho impressive relation of snch
action to tho American people, whose
confidence is thus invited, and to the
political party to which I belong, just
entering upon a contest for continued
supremacy.
The world does not afford a specta
cle more sublime than is furnished
when millions of free and intclliaent
American citizens select their Chief
Magistrate and bid ono of their num
ber to find the highest earthly honor
and the full measure of publio duty in
ready submission to their will.
It follows that a candidato for this
high office can never forget that whin
the turmoil and the strife which attend
tho selection of its incumbent shall be
heaid no more, thero mu&t be in tho
ouiet calm which follows a complete
and solemn self-consecration by tho
people's chosen President of every
faoltv and endeavor to tho pervico of
a cenfidiue and generous nation of
freemen.
These thoughts aro intensified by
tho light of my experience in tho Pres-
lUUnuai UIUUU wuiuil una nvuvuy iiu-

quickened my lovo for American in

THE RIGHTS OF A3IERICAN CITIZENS.
It is of tho highest importance that
thoso who administer our government
should jealously project and maintain
the richts of Amorican citizens at

achioye for our country her proper
place among tho nations of the eaitb
but there is no people whose homo in

so much watcmuiness ana care
Amoncr theso are tho regulation of
a sound financial system suited to our

on which tho tuiff duties are rcducod,
and as to wool, hemp and flax, which
are made freo in tho Interest of the
manufacturers and consumers, aud the
chief consumers aro farmers them
selvcf. The so called sheep industry in
Pennsylvania docs not averago five
sheep to each farm in the State, aud
tho ent'ro wool orop of our farmers is
worth S 1.250.000. Thero 's practical
ly no able-bodied labor in sheep-growing,
and, theicrore, no labor to pro
tect, and tbo consumption of woolen
goods in Pennsylvania amounU to
about 800,000,000 per annum, ti.o ma-
or part of whioh.ls consumed by far
mers.
Free wool would, as testified before
Congress by experienced woolen manu
facturers of all parties, encapen wool
ens fully 20 per cent, to consumers,
and 20 per cent, on tho consumption
of woolens in Pennsylvania would be
about $12,000,000. Tho.farmers alone
pay moro than nvo times as much in
needless taxes on woolens as tho valuo
of the entire wool. crop of tho State,
and the wool-growers as aclaw.cxclusivo
of tho other wool consumers of Penn
sylvania, would gain moro in cheap
woolens than they would lose by frto
wool. In point of fact, the farmers of
ennsvlvania are overtaxing them
selves oy taxing wool.
Everything of importance that the
farmer uses on or about his farm and
in or about his house, is still subject to
high war taxes except tea and coffee.
Everything he wears is taxed from 30
to 80 per cent, every implement ho

Everything used in his house, from a

house is lighted bv from 60 to 100 per
cent, taxed glass, he drfnka from .a CO

ment of tinware in his kitohen is high

steel trust that is created by nign war

ho is the victim of the envelope trust

Toraker's lolly.
In an article in the American Ma
gaztne Uov. Foraker amplifies lien,
Harrison s postnlate that competition
is impossible with unequal wages, for
"the man who commands the cheaper
wages will drive tbo other from tho
market."
Wo have already shown that wool
en-mill operatives receive GO per cent.
more in Delaware than in Michigan
G7 per cent, more in Illinois than in
Indiana, and 38 per cent, more in Con
nectiout than iu Uhode Island. This
differenco is found in wages in all in
dustrics in different parts of tho Un
ion. And yet tbo mills that pay tbo high
est wages often make tho most money,
Uov. Joraker also repeats tho tami
liar lact that wages in England aro
"less by from 25 to SO per cent, than
here." Secretary Blaino said in his
consular report that "undoubtedly tho
uncqualitles tn the wages ot Englub
and Amorican" operatives aro more
than equalized by the greater eflicien
oy of tbo latter and their longer hours
of labor."
The Ohio sheep defender says "We
do not beliovo in going to Australia or
South amerlca for our wool." But wo
do import over half tho wool used in
this country, anu witnout foreign fibre
half our mills would close.
The Governor has the offrontery to
toll farmers that tho tariff has given
them "a better price for tboir land
and their crops" and "less cost for
practically all thoy may havo ocoasion
to buy." Tho tanners don t need fig
ures to provo the falsity of. this. Mess
pork was worm at the highest poin
818.12 in 1850 tinder a low tariff and
12.50 in 188G. Wheat was worth SI
G5 in 1850 and 95 cents in 1880
wool 45 cents in 1859 and 31 cents in
1880. And tho cost ot tho dutiablo
articles that the farmer buys is onhan
oed $17 on every SglUU by tbo tariff.
uov. orator claims that, as a re
sult of Protection, "'instead of only
exporting raw cotton, grain, livestock
and suoh commodities, we are rending

In 1859 tho percentage of agricultural
exports to our total exports was 7G.9G.
In 1887, after twenty-six years of the
