Patrick A. Cellins and ethers, committee, ate Gentlemen: In addreaalng te yen my formal acceptance of the nomination te the presidency of the United State ray thoughts persistently dwell upon the im pressive relation of aueh action te tba American people, wbeae oenfldenoe la thna ' Invited, and te the polltleal party te which I belong, Just entering upon a oenteat for continued aupremaey. The world does net afford a speotaele mere sublime than la furnlihea when millions of free and Intelligent American cltlKsna select their chief magistrate and bid ene of tbelr number te find the hlgbeat earthy honor and the full measure of pnblle duty In ready submission te tbelr will. It fellows that a candidate for this high ofllee can never forget that when the tur moil and the strife wbleh attend the selec tion of Its Incumbent shall be heard no mere there nntt be In the quiet calm that fellows a complete and solemn self conse cration by the people's chosen presldent of every faculty and endeavor te the service of a oenfl JIng and generous nation of free men. These thoughts are intensllled by the lleht of my experience In the presidential office, wbleh has soberly lmpreusd me with the severe reipenslbtlilles wbleh It Imposes, while it has quickened my love for American Institutions and taught the the prloelexs value of the trust of my cenn, trymen. It Is of the highest Importance that these who administer our government should jealously protect and maintain the rights of American citizens at home and abroad, and should strive te aebleve for our oeuntry ber proper place among the na tions of the earth ; but there la no people whose home Interests are se great aud whose numerous objects of domestic con cern dejerve se much watchfulness and eare. Among tliose are the regulation ei aseund financial sytem suited te our neetls, thus scouring an efficient agency of national wealth and general prosperity ; the construe, tlen and equipment of means of defense, te Insure our national safety and maintain the honor beneath which sueh national safety reposes; the protection of our national do main, still atretehlng beyond the needs of a century's expansion, and Its preservation for the settUr and the ploneer of enr mar velous growth; a sensible and alneere rec ognition of the value of American labor, leading te the scrupulous care and just ap preciation or the interests of our working men; the limitation and checking of aueh monopolistic tendencies and schemes as In terfere with the advantages snd benefits which the peeple may rightly claim; a gen erous regard and care for our surviving sol diers and sailors, aud for the widows and orphans of such as bave died, t tte end that while tbe appreciation et tbelr services and saeriuces Is qulokened the application or their pension fund te Improper eases may be prevoetod ; protec tion against a servile immigration, wbleh Injuriously competes with our laboring men In the held of tell, and adds te our - population an element Ignorant of our institutions and laws, lmposslble of assimi lation with our peeple and dangerous te our peace and welfare ; a Btrict and stead fast adherence te the principles of civil service reform and a thorough exeoutlenof the laws pasted for tbelr enforcement, thus permitting te our people the advantages et business methods in the operation of their government ; the guarantte te our oelcred citizens or all tbelr rights or citizenship, and their just recognition and encourage ment In all thtaRB pertalutng te that reln reln tlen ; a tire-, patient and humine Indian policy, se thm in peaoetul relations v. Ith the government theolvlllzitleu of the Indian may be promoted, with resulting quiet and safety te the settlers en our frontiers ; and the curtailment of publie expense by the introduction et economical meweus in every department of the government. The pledges contained In tbe platform adopted by tbe late convention et the na tional Bemocraey lead te tbe advancement of these objeets and Insure geed govern ment the aspiration of every true Ameri can citizen and the motive for every patrio ts action and effort. In the consciousness that much has been done In the direction of geed government by the present admin lsiratlen, and submitting Its reenrd te the fair inspection of my country mer, I Indorse the platform thus presented, with the do de termination that If 1 am again called te the eblaf magistracy there shall be a con tinuance of devoted endeavor te advance tba Interests of the entire country. Our scale of federal taxation and Its con sequences largely engross at this time the attention or our eltlzms, and tbe people are soberly considering the necessity et meas ures et relief. Oar government 1 the oreatlen of the people, establlBhed te carry out tbelr de signs and accomplish tpclr geed. It was founded en Justice, and was made ter a free, intelligent and virtuous people. It Is only useful when within tbelr control, and only serves them well when regulated and gnlded by tbelr oenstant touch. It is a free government, bocause it guarantees te every American cltlzsu the unrestricted personal use and enjeyment of all the re war J of bis tell and et all his Income, ex cept what may be bis fair contribution te necessary publie expense. Therefore it is net eniy me rigui dui iuu duty of a free people, In the enforcement of this guarantee, te lnlst that sueh expense should be strictly limited te the aetual publie needs. It seems perfectly clear that wbentbegevernment tblslnstiumentallty ereated and maintained by the people te de tbelr bidding turns upon them, and, through an utter perversion of Its powers, extorts from their labor and capital tribute largely in excess et publie necessities, the oraatnre baa rebelled against the oreater and the mastera are robbed by tbelr ser vants. JSFFEOT OP TARIFF TAXATION. The cost of the government must continue te be met by tariff duties collected at our custom houses upon Imported goods, and by Internal revenue taxes assessed upon spirituous, and malt liquors, tobacco and oleomargarine. I suppDse It Is needless te explain ' that all these duties and assess ments are added te tbe price et the artleles upon whleh they are levied, and thus be come a tax upon all theso who buy these arttelea for use and consumption. 1 sup nnu. tee. It Is well understood that the effect of this tariff taxation Is net limited te the consumers of Imported articles, but that the duties Imposed upon sueh srtlcles permit a corresponding Inorease In prices te be laid upon domestle productions of tbe same kind, whleh Increase, paid by all our paeple as consumers et home productions, and entering every American home, con stitutes a form et taxation as certain and as Inevitable as though the amount .was annually paid Inte the hand of tbe tax gatherer. Taese results are Inseparable from ths plan wa have adopted for tbe collee'.lon e! our revenue by tariff duties. They are net mentioned te discredit the system, but by way of preface te tbe statement that every million of dollars cel lee ted at our custom houses for duties upon Imported arlleies and paid into tbe publte treaaury reprear nta many minions mere wuicu, muugu never reaching tbe national treasury, are paid by our cltlzsns as tbe Increased cost of do de no itle productions resulting from our tariff laws, la tbaee olraataVrtMeta, and la Tit et thta necessary cltcet e( the operation el our plan for nMe revenue, tba absolute duty of limiting the rata or tariff ehargea te the Boceesltlte of a frugal ana economic! administration of tba government eeema te te perfectly plalr. Ths continuance, upea a pretext of Baeetlag pablle expenditures, otaaehaaoale of tariff taxatleB aa draws from tba substance of tba people a ansa largely In exeaaa of pablle needs la surely oemethlng which under a govern men t baaed upon Justice, and whleh finda Ita strength and uaefalaeaa In the faith and ""t of the people, ought net te be teler- wnlle the heaviest burdens Incident te the necessities of tba government are un un un oemplalningly borne, light burdena become grievous and intolerable when net justified by sueh neeeesltlea. Unneeaeesry taxation is unjust taxation. And yet this Is our condition. We are annually collecting at enr custom beuses and by means of enr Internal revenue taxa tion many millions in exeaaa of all legit imate publie needa. Aa a oenseqnenoe there new remains in the national treasury aaurplua of mere than one hundred and thirty million dollars. Ne better evidence could be famished that the people are exorbitantly taxed. The extant or the anperfluena burden indicated by this surplns will be better appreciated when It la aueeeeted that sucn surplus alone represent taxation aggregating mere than I uw.oeo in a county containing wj.wu Inhabitants. Taxation has alwaya been the feature of organized government whleh la the hsrdest te reconcile with tbe people's Ideaa of free dom and hspplnes. When presented In a direct form nothing will areuse popular discontent mere quickly and profoundly than nejust and unnecessary taxation. Our farmers, mechanics, laborers and all our eltlzana olesely scan tbe slightest Increase In tbe taxes assessed upon their lands and ether property, and demand geed reasena for aueh Increase. And yet they seem te be expected, in some quarters, te regard the unnecessary volume of Insidious and Indirect taxation visited upon them by our present rate or tariff duties with Indiffer ence ir net with favor, The surplus revenue new remaining In the treaaury net only furnishes conclusive proof of unjust taxation, bnt ita exlstenes constitutes a separate and Independent menace te tbe prosperity of tbe people. This vast accumulation of ldle funda rep resents thst mueh money drawn from tbe circulating medium of tbe oeuntry which Is needed In the chsnnela or trade and business. It is a great mistake te auppete that tbe consequences wbleh fellow the oenttnual Withdrawal and bearding by the govern ment of tbe ourreney et tbe people are net of lmmedlate Importance tetbe masa of enr citizens, and only coneerns theso engaged in large financial transactions, In tbe restless enterprise and aetlvlty which frce and ready money among the people produces is found that opportunity for labor and employment and that Impetus te business and production whleh brings in their train prosperity te our citizens In every station and vocation. New ventures, new investments in business and manu facture, the construction et new and Im portant works, and the enlargement or en terprlses already established, depend largely upon obtaining money upon easy terms with fair security ; and all things are stimulated by an abuudant volume of cir culating medium. Kven the harvested grain of tbe farmer remains without a market unless money Is forthcoming for Its movement and transportation te tbe sea board. The first result et a scarcity or money among the people Is tbe exaction et severe terms for Its use. Increasing distrust and timidity Is followed by a refusal te lean or ad vanee en any terms. Investors refuse al 1 risks and decline all securities, and In a general fr igbl tbe money still In tbe hands of tbe peeple la perslstently hoarded. It Is quite apparent that when this perfectty felural, if net Inevitable, stage Is reached depression In all business and enterprise will, as a ueeesssry consequence, lessen the opportunity for work and employment and reauee salaries and the wages of labor. WAOK-KARNKB8 MOST AFFECTED. Instead, then, et being exempt from the Influence and til eat et an immonse surplus lying Idle In the national treasury our wage-earners and ethers who rely upon tbelr labor for support are most et all directly oencerned in tbe situation. Others, seeing the approach of danger, may provide against It, but It will find these depending upon their dally tell ter bread unprepared, helplesa and dofenaaless. Sueh a state of affairs does net present a case of Idleness resulting from disputes between the labor ing man and his employer, bnt It produces an absolute and enforced aleppsge et em pleyment and wages. accumulated surplus and the scale or tariff rates by which it is produced, we must net overlook the tendeecy toward gross and scandalous publie extravaganca wbleh a congested treasury induces, uer the faet that we are maintaining, without excuse, in a time of profound peace substantially tbe ra.a of tariff duties Impoeed In tlme of war, when the necessities et tbe govern ment j ustlties tbe imposition of tbe weight iest burdens upon the people. Divers plans have been suggested for tbe return nf this accumulated surplus te the people snd the channels or trade. Seme or these devices are at variance with all rules et geed finance; some are dblusive, some are ab surd, and some betray by tbelr reekless extravsganoe tbe demoralizing lnlluencn et a great surplns et pnblle meney upon the judgments of individuals. While sueh efforts shenld be made as are consistent with publie duty and sanctioned by sound judgment te avoid danger Dy tne useful disposition of tbe surplus new re maining in the treasury, it la evident that if ita distribution were accomplished an ether accumulation would seen take Its place, If tbe oenstant Hew of redundant In come was net checked at its source by a re ro re ferm In our present tariff laws. We de net propose te deal with theso con ditions by merely attempting te satisfy the people of tbe truth of abstract theories, nor by aloae urglrtg their assent te polltleal doctrine. We present te tbem the proposi preposi tions that they are unjustly treated lu the extent et present Federal taxation, thataa a result a condition of extreme danger ex ists, and that It la ter them te demand a remedv and that defense and safety prom ised In the guarantees et their free govern menu We belleve that the same means which are adopted te relieve the treasury of tbe present surplus and prevent Its reourrtneo HnOUlU CUU.JWU IU uur leuim tun ww ut supplying thelrdally wants. Iieth of these objects we seek In pari te gain by reduelng the present tariff rates upon the necessaries of life. We fully appreciate tbe Importance te the country of our domestle Industrial enter prises. In the rectification of existing wmntrs their maintenance and prosperity should be carefully and In a friendly spirit considered. Kven sueh reliance upon present revenue arrangements as have been invited or encouraged should be fairly and justly regarded. Abrupt and radical changes which might endanger such enter prises and Injuriously affect the Interests of labor dependent upon tbelr suoeesa aud oentlnuanoe are net contemplated or In tended. But we knew the cost of our domestic manufactured products Is inoreased and tbe price te the consumer enhaneed by tbe duty imposed upon the raw material used In their manuiaeture. We knew that tbla In creased oest prevents tbe tale of our produc tions at foreign markeuin competition with these countries which have tbe advantage et free raw materials. We knew thst, con fined te a home market, our manufacturing operations are curtailed, their demand for labor irregular and the rate or wages paid uneertaln, ..... We propose, therefore, te stimulate our domestle Industrial enterprises by freeing from duty tbe imported raw materials whleh by tbe employment of labor aroused In our home manuiaeiures, wus bxiuuuiuk tbe markets ler their sale and permitting an lnereased and steady production with the allowance of abnndant profits. True te the undevlatlng course of tbe Demoeratlo party, we will net neglect tne interests of labor and our workingmen. In all effortate remedy existing evils we will furnish no excuse ler the less or employ ment or tbe reduotlen et tbe wages of bee est tell. On tbe contrary, we propose in any adf ualment et our revenue laws te concede nnh Annrtnrmnmsnt and advantAff a te the employers of domestle labor aa will easily waraaaite ter aay dixrereae that may exist between tbe standard et wagr a whleh abeuld be paid te enr laboring men and tbe rata allowed In ether oeuatrle. We pro pose, tee, by extending the markets for enr manufacture te promote the steady em ployment et labor, while by cheapening the oest of the neeeasarlea et life we Increase the purchasing power of the werklngman'a wages aad add te the oemforta of his home. RESTRICTION OF IMMIORATION. Aad, before passing from this phase of the question, I am oenstralned te express the opinion that, while the Interests of labor should be alwaya sedulously regarded In any modlheation of enr tariff lawa, aa addl addl tlenat and mera direct aad efficient protec tion te these Interests would be afforded by the restriction and prohibition of tbe Immi gration or Importation of laborers from ether countries who awarm upon our shores, baring no purpose or Intent et be coming our fellow eliUana, or acquiring any permanent Interest In enr country, bnt who crowd every field of employment with unintelligent labor at wsgea which ought net te satisfy these who make claim te Amerlean citizenship. The platform adepted by the late national convention of oureertv oentaina the fellow ing declaration : ''Judged by Demoeratlo principles Ibe Interests of tha people are betrayed when unnecessary taxation, trusts and oemblnea are permitted and festered, whleb, while nndnly enriching the few that combine, rob the body of our cltlzsns by depriving them'aa purchasers et the benefits et natural competition." Such combinations have alwaya been condemned by the Demoeratlo party. The declaration of Ita national convention la sincerely made, and no member et our party will be found excusing the existence or belittling the pernicious results of these devlees te wrong the people. Under vsrleu names they have been punished by the common law for hundredsef years, and they have lest noneef tbelr hateful features because they have assumed tbe name or trusts Instead or conspiracies. We believe that these trusts are the natural offspring et a market artificially restricted; that an Inordinately high tariff, te ides furnishing the temptation et tbelr existence, enlargea the limit within which they msy operate against tbe people, and thus lnerease tbe extent or their power for wrongdoing. With an unalterable hatred of all aueh sehemea we count the obeektog et tbelr baleful operatlena among the gee 1 reaulta premised by revenue reform. While we cannot avoid partisan misrep resentation, enr position upon tbe question of revenue reform should be se plainly atated as te admit of no misunderstanding. We have entered upon no crnsade of tree trade. The reform we aeek te Inaugurate la predlcated t en tbe utmost care for es tablished Industries and enterprises, a Jealeus regard for the interests of American labor and a sincere deslre te relieve the oeuntry from tbe Injustlee and danger et a condition wbleh threatena evll te all the people of the land. We are dealing with no Imaginary dan ger. Ita exlstonee has been repeatedly oeniossod by all polltleal parties, and pledges et a remedy have been made en all aides. Yet, when in the legislative body where, under tbeoenstltutlon,all remedial measures applicable te tbla subject must originate, tbe Demoeratlo majority were attempting with extreme moderation te redeem the pledge oemmon te both partlea they were met by determined opposition and obstruc tion; and tbe minority, refusing te co ce co eporate In tbe Heuse et representatives, or propose another remedy, have remttted tbe redemption of their party pledge te the doubtful power et the Senate. Tbe people will hardly be deeslved by their abandonment et tbe field of legislative notion te meet In political convention and flippantly declare In tbelr psrty platform that our oenssrvatlve and earelnl effort te reltovethe situation Is destructive te the American system et protection. Ner will the people be misled by the appeal te pro pre pro Judfeo contained In tbe absurd allegation that we Berve the lutoresta et Europe, while I hey will support the Interests of America. They propose In their platform te thus Buppert the interests et our oeuntry by re moving tbe internsl revenue tax lien tobacco and from spirits used In the arts and for mechanical purposes. They de de elare, also, that there should be such a revision et our tariff laws as shall tend te check the Importation of sueh articles as are produced hore. Thus, In proposing te In crease tbe duties upon such articles tenearly or quite a prohibitory point, they oenfosa themselves willing te travel baekward in tbe read of clvlllzitlen and te deprive our peopleef the markets for their goods, whleh can only be gained and kept by the sem sem blauee, at least, et au Interchange of busi ness, whlle they abandon oureonsumersto tbe unrestrained oppression of tbe domestle trusts and combinations whleh are In the same nlatlerm perfunctorily condemned. They further propeso te release entlrely from import duties all articles et foreign production (except luxuries) the like of whleb cannot be produced In this oeuntry. The plain people et the land, and tbe peer, who scarcely use artleles et any description produced exclusively abroad and net al ready free, will find It difficult te discover where their Interests are regarded In this preposition. They need in tbelr homes eheaper domestlo necessaries, and this seems te be entlrely unprevided for In this proposed sobemo te serve the oeuntry. Small compensation for this negleoted need is found In tbe further purpose here announced and covered Dy tue declaration, that If, after tbeebanges already mentioned, there still remains a larger revenue than la requisite for tbe wsnts of tbe government, tbe entire Internal taxation shenld be re pealed " rather than surrender any part et our protective system. " Our people ask relief from the undue and unnecessary bnrden of tariff taxation new reatlng upon them. They are offered free touacce ana tree wnisay. Tney ask for bread, and they are given a stone. The implication contained In this party declaration that desperate measures are justified or necessary te save from destruc tion or surrender what la termed our pro tective system should confuse no one. The existence of sueh a system Is entirely con sistent with the regulation of the extent te wbleh It should be applled and the cerrec tien or us anuses. Of oeurso, In a country as gieat as ours, with sneh a wonderful variety et lnterests, often leading te entlrely different dlree tlens.lt la diflleult, If net impossible, te settle upon a period tariff plan. But In accom plishing the relnrm we have entored upon, tbe necessity of wbieb Is se obvious, I believe we should net be content with a reduction of revenue Involving the prohi bition of Importations and tbe removal et the Internal tax upon whisky. It may be better and mere aafely done wltbln the Urns of grantlug aetual relief te the people In tbelr means of living, and at the same time giving an Impetus te our domestle enterprises and lurtberlng our national welfare. I f misrepresentations et our purposes and motives are te gain credence aud defeat our present efforts in this direction, there seems te be no reason why every endeavor In the tuture te accomplish revenue reform abeuld net be likewise ultaeked and with like re sult. And yet no thoughtful man can fall lesee In the continuance of the present burdens et tbe people, and the abstraction by the gov ernment of tbe currency et the country, Inevitable d 1st rem and disaster. All danger will be averted by timely action. Tbe dtfll culty of applying the remedy will never be less, and tha blame should net be laid at tbe deer of the Democratic party It It la applied loe lata With firm faith In the Intelligence and patriotism or our countrymen, and relying upon the conviction that misrepresents tlen will net lntluenee tbem, prejudlce will net cloud their understanding, and that menace will net Intimidate them, let us urge tbe people's Interest and public dnty ter the vindication et our attempt te Inauguate a righteous snd beneficent re form.

Mr. Morgan speaking of the bill, took the ground that aa China In the pending treaty had expressed a desire te prohibit the emigration et Oblneee laborers te the United States, this government bad the right te exclude Chinese by the operation of enr lawa and ought te de ae. He believed tbe treaty ought te be withdrawn and the bill which was new pendlngsheuld be amended ae aa te provide for compensation te these Chinese sufferers. I n the course of hla re marks Mr. Morgan aald he believed the Chinese government were holding took the treaty until after tbe November election here, hoping that If Harrison waa elected president they might get an amendment favorable te Chinese Immigra tion. This led te bitter personalities a few mements later. Mr. Mitchell here Intruded the remark that he did net believe a soli tary mind In the United States honestly believed any aueh thing, and afterwards aald he did net believe Mr. Morgan be lieved It, Mr. Morgan Indignantly ex claimed: "1 will net be Interrupted by a man of your obaraeter In the Impeachment of my honesty," and went en and finished bis Bpeoeh. Mr. Mitchell then attacked Mr. Morgan's record en the Chinese question, eharglng that it had been contra dictory and that within the past few days he had been going baek en the whole record et his life.
