GEN HARRISON'S LETTERT
A Clear Interpretation of the Repub
lican Party's Principle!.
linn. M. At. Estee and others, Committee, etc.
Gentlemen: When your Committee
visited me on the 4th of July last and pre
sented the Official announcement of my
nomination for the Presidency of the
United States by the Republican Conven
tion I promised as'soon aa practicable to
communicate to yon a more formal accept
ance of the nomination. Since that time
tho work of receiving and addressing, al
most daily, largo delegations of my fellow
citizens has not only occupied all of my
time, but has in somo measure rendered
it unnecessary for me to use this letter as
a medium of communicating to the public
my views on the questions Involved in
the campaign. I appreciate very highly
the confidence and respect manifested by
tho -Convention, and accept the nomina
tion with a feeling of gratitude and a full
sense of the rcsponsibilities-which accom
pany it.
It is a matter of congratulation that the
declarations of tho Chicago Convention
upon the questions that now attract the
interest of our people are so clear and em
phatic There is further cause of congrat
ulation in the fact that the Convention ut
terances of tho Democratic party, if in
Buy degree uncertain or contradictory,
can now be judged and interpreted by
Executive acts and messages, and by defi
nite propositions in legislation. This is
especially true of what is popularly known
as the tariff question, Tho issue can not
now be obscured. It is not a contest be
tween schedules, but between wide apart
principles. The foreign competitors for
our market have, with quick instinct, seen
how one issue of this contest may bring
them advantage, and our own people are
not so dull as to miss or neglect tho grave
Interests that are involved for them. The
assault upon our Protective system is
open and defiant. Protection is assailed
as unconstitutional in law, or as vicious
In princlplo, and those who hold such
views sincerely, can not stop short of an
absolute elimination from our tariff laws
of the principle of Protection. The Mills
bill is only a step, but it is toward an ob
ject that the leadorsof Democratic thought
and legislation havo clearly in mind.
The important question is not so much
T-rhe length of the step as the direction of
it. J udged by the executive message ol
December last, by the Mills bill, by the
debates in Congress and by the St. Louis
platform, the Democratic party will, if
supported by the country, place the tariff
laws upon a purely revenue basis. This
is practical Free Trade Free Trade in the
English sense. The legend upon the ban
ner may not be "Free Trade," it may be
the more obscure motto "Tariff Reform,"
but neither the banner nor the inscription
is conclusive, or, Indeed, very important.
The assault Itself is the important fact.
KBEE TRADE STUDENTS OP MAXIMS.
Those who teach that the import duty
upon foreign goods sold in our market is
paid by the consumer, and that the price
of the domestio competing article is en
hanced to the amount of the duty on the
imported article that every million of
dollars collected for customs duties repre
sents many millions more which do not
reach the Treasury, but are paid by our
citizens as the increased cost of domestic
productions resulting from the tariff laws
may not iutend to discredit in the minds
of others our system of lovying duties on
competing foreign products, but it is
clearly already discredited in their owu.
We can not doubt, without impugning
their integrity, that if free to act upon
their convictions they would so revise our
laws as to lay the burden of tho customs
revenue upoa articles that are not pro
duced in this country and to place upon
tho free liHt all computing foreign products
I do not stop to refute this theory as to the
effoct of our tariff duties. Those who ad
vance it are students of maxims and not
of the markets. They may be safely al
lowed to call their project "Tariff Re
form," if tho people understand that in
the end the argument compels Free Trade
in all comjtt-ting products. This end may
not be reached abruptly and its approach
may be accompanied with tome express.
ions of sympathy for our protected indus
tries and our working people, but it will
certainly come, if those early steps do not
arouse the poople to effective resistance.
The Republican party holds that a Pro.
tective tariff is constitutional, wholesome
and necessary. We do not oiler a fixed
schedule, but a principle. We will revise
the schedule, modify rates, but alays
with au intelligent proviso as to the effect
upon domestic production and the wage
of our working people. Wo believe it to
be one of tho worthy objects of tariff leg
islation tu preserve llio American market
lor Ameiican pi oduccrs, und to maintain
tho American scale of wages by adequate
discriminating duties upon foreign com
peting products. The effect of lower rates
and larger Importations upon tho public
rcvenuo is contingent and doubtful, but
not so tho effect upon American produc
tion and American wages. Lous work and
lower wages must be accepted as the Inov
itable result of the increased offering of
foreign goods in our market. By way of
recompense for this reduction In his wagon
and tho loss of tho American mnrket, it Is
suggested that the diminished wages of
the worklngmaii will havo nil undlmin
ished purchasing power, and that he will
be able to make up for the loss of thelS'tne
market by Rn enlarged foreign market.
Our workingmen have the settlement of
the question in their own hands. They
now obtain higher wages and live more
comfortably than those of any other
country. They will make choice between
tho substantial advantages they havo on
hand and the deceptive promises and fore
casts of these theorizing reformers. They
will decide for themselves nnd for tho
country whether tho Protective system
shall bo continued or destroyed.
now TO VSE THE SURPLUS.
Tho tact of a Treasury surplus, the
amount of which is variously stated, has
directed public attention to a consideration
of the methods by which the national in
come may best bo reduced to tho levol of
a wise and nroesRary expenditure. This
condition has been seized npon by thoso
who are hostile to Protective customs du
ties as an advantageous liaso of attack
upon our tariff laws. They have magni
fied and nursed the surplus, which they
affoct to deprecato, seemingly for the pur
poses of exaggerating tlie evil in order to
reconcllo the poople to the extreme reme
dy they propose. A propor reduction of
tho revenues does not necessitate and
should not suggest the abandonment or
impairment of the Protective system. Tho
methods suggested by our Convention
will not need to bo exhausted in order to
effect the nocossary reduction. We are
not likely to be called upon, I think, to
make a present choice between the sur
render of the Protective systoui and tho
entire repeal of the internal taxes. Such
a contingency in view of tho present re
lation of expenditures to revenues is re
mote. The inspection and regulation of
the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine
is important, and the revenue derived
from it is not so groat that tho repeal of
the law need enter into any plan of revo
nue reduction.
The surplus now in tho Treasury should
be used in tho purchase of bonds. The
law authorizes this nso of it, and if it is
not needed for current or deficiency ap
propriations, the poople, and not the banks
in which it has been deposited, should
have the advantage of its uso by stopping
interest upon the public debt. At least,
those who needlossly hoard it should not
be allowed to use the fear of a monetary
stringency thus produced to coerce public
sentiment upon othor questions.
CONTRACT LABOR IMMIGRATION.
Closely connected with the subject of
the tariff is that of the importation of
foreign laborers under contracts of service
to be performed here. The law now in
force prohibiting such contracts received
my cordial support in the Senate and such
amendments as may be found necessary
effectively to deliver our workingmen and
women from this most iuoijuitahle form of
competition will have my sincoro advoca
cy. Legislation prohibiting the importa
tion of laborers under contracts to sorve
here will, however, afford very inadequate
rolief to our working peoplo if the system
of Protective duties is broken down. If
the products of American shops must
compete in the American market without
favoring duties with the products of cheap
foreign labor, the effect will be different,
if at all, only in degree, whether the cheap
laboror is across the street or over the sea.
Such competition will soon reduce wages
here to the level of those abroad, and when
that condition is reached we shall not need
any laws forbidding the importation of
laborers undor contract they will have
no inducement to come, and tho employer
no inducement to send for them. In tho
earlier years of our history public agencies
to promote immigration were common.
The pioneer wanted a neighbor with more
friendly instincts than the Indian. Labor
was scarce and fully employed. But the
day of the immigration bureau has gone
by. While our doors will continue open
to proper immigration we do not mean to
issue special invitation to the inhabitants
of other countries to come to our shores
or to share our citizouship. Indeed, the
necessity of some inspection and limita
tion is obvious.
We should resolutely refuse to permit
foreign governments to send their paupers
and criminals to our ports. We aro also
clearly under a duty to defend our civili
zation by excluding alien races whose
ultimate assimilation with our peoplo ia
neither possible or desirable. The family
has been the nucleus of our best immi
gration and tho homo the potent assimi
lative force in our civilizatiou. The ob
jections to Chinese immigration are dis
tinctive and conclusive and are now so
generally accepted as sucli that the ques
tion has passed entirely beyond the stage
of argument. The laws relating to this
subject would, if I should be charged with
their enforcement, bo faithfully executed.
Such amendments or further legislation
as may bo necessary and propor to prevent
evasions ol tho laws and to stop further
Chinese immigration would also meet my
apptoval. The expression of the Conven
tion upon this subject is in entire har
mony with my views.
FREE BALLOT AND FAIR COUNT.
Our civil compact is a government by
majorities j and the law loses its sanction
and tho magistrate our respect when this
compact is broken. The evil results of
election frauds do not expend themselves
upon the voU rs who aro robbed of their
rightful intluenee in public affairs. Tho
individual, or community, or party that
practices or connives at election frauds has
suffered irreparable injury and will sooner
or later realize that to exchange tho Amer
ican system of majority rule for minority
control is not only unlawful and unpa
triotic, but very unsafe for ihosu who pro
mote It. The disfranchisement of a single
legal elector by a fraud or intimidation is
a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.
The right of every qualified doctor to east
one five ballot and to havo it honestly
counted must uot be questioned. Every
constitutional power should be used to
make this riyht secure and to punish
frauds upon the ballot. Our colored peo
ple do not a'-k special legislation ill their
interest, but only to bo nia.ly secure in the
common rights of American citizouship.
They will, however, naturally mistrust
tho sincerity of thoso party leaders who
appeal to their race for support only in
thoso localities whore the suffrago ia froo
nnd election results doubtful and compass
their disfranchisement whore their votes
would bo controlling nnd their choice can
not bo coerced.
Tho nation, not less than tho states, is
dependent for prosperity and security
upon the intelligence nnd morality of tho
people. This common interest very early
suggested national aid in tho establish
ment and endowment of schools and col
leges lu (ho new stales. There Is, I believe,
a present exigency that calls for still moro
liberal and direct appropriations In aid of
common school education in tho states.
The territorial form of government is n
temporary expedient, not a permanent
civil condition. It Is adapted to tho exi
gency that suggested it, but becomes in
adequate and even oppressive when ap
plied to fixed and populous communities.
Several territories nro well able to boar
tho burdens and discharge tho duties of
free commonwealths in the American un
ion. To exclude thorn Is to deny the Just
rights of their peoplo and may well excito
their Indignant protest. No question of
the political preference of the people of a
territory should close against them the
hospitahlo door which has opened to two
thirds of the existing states. But admis
sion should be resolutely rofused to nny
territory a majority of whose people cher
ish institutions that aro repugnant to our
civilization or inconsistent with a republi
can form of government.
TRUSTS MUST BK MET.
The doelarntlon of the Convention
ngainst "all combination of capital, or
ganized in trusts or otherwise to control
arbitrarily tho condition of trade among
our citizens" Is in harmony with the
views entertained and publicly expressed
by mo long before the assembling of the
Convention. Ordinarily, capital shares
the losses of idleness with labor; but, un
der the operation of tho trust in some of
its forms tho wage-worker a' one suffers
loss, while idle capital receives its divi
dends from a trust fund. Producers who
refuse to join tho combination are destroy
ed, and competition as an olomont of
prices is eliminated. It can not to doubted
that the legislative authority should and
will find a method of dealing fairly and
effectively with theso nnd other abuses
connected with this subject.
It can baldly be necessary for me to say
that I am heartily in sympathy with the
declaration of the Convention upon tho
subject of pensions to our soldiers and
sailors. What they gave and what they
suffered I hsd some opportnnity to ob
serve and in a small measure to expe
rience. They gave ungrudgingly; it was
not a trade, but an offering. The moasure
was heaped up, running over. What they
achieved only a distant generation can ad
equately toll. Without attempting to dis
cuss particular propositions I may add
that measures iu behalf of the surviving
veterans of tho war, and of tho families of
their dead comrades, should bo conceived
nnd executed in a spirit of justice and ol
the most grateful liberality, and that in
the competition for civil appointments
honorable military service should have
appropriate recognition. The law regu-.
lating appointments to tho classified civil
service received my support in the Seuate
In the boliof that it opened the way to a
much-needed reform. I still think so,
nnd therefore cordially approve the clear
and forcible expression of the Convention
on this subject. The law should have the
aid of a friendly interpretation and be
faithfully and vigorously enforced. All
appointments under it should be absolute
ly free from partisan considerations and
influence, Some extensions of the classi
fied list aro practicable and desirable, and
furthor legislation extending the reform
to other branches of the service, to which
it is applicable, would receive my approval.
Iu appointments to every grade and de
partment, fitness, and not party service,
should be the essential and discriminating
test, and fidelity and efficiency the only
sure tenure of office. Only the Interests
of the publie service should suggest re
movals from office. I know the practical
difficulties attending the attempt to apply
the spirit of civil service rules to all ap-
poiutmeuts and removals. It will, how
ever, be my sincere purpose, if olocted, to
advance the reform.
I notice with pleasure that the Conven
tion did not omit to express la solicitude
for the promotion of the virtue and tem
perance of our peoplo. The Republican
party has always been friendly to every
thing that tended to make the home life of
our people free, pure and prosperous, and
will in the future be true to Its history in
this respect.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Our relations with foreign powers should
be characterized by friendliness and re
spect. The right of our people and of our
ships to hospitable treatment should be
insisted npon with diguity and firmness.
Our nation is too great both in material
strength and in moral power to indulge in
bluster or to be suspected of timorous
noss. Vacillation and inconsistency are
as incompatible with successful diploma
cy as they are with the national dignity.
We should especially cultivate and extend
our diplomatic and commercial relations
with tho Central and South American
states. Our fisheries should bo fostered
and protected. Tho hardships and risks
that are the necessary incidents of tho
business should not be increased by an
inhospitable exclusion from theuearlying
ports. Tho resourcos of a firm, dignified
and consistent diplomacy are undoubtedly
equal to the prompt and peaceful solution
of the difficulties that now exist. Our
neighbors will surely not expect in our
ports a com morcial hospitality they deny
to us in theirs.
I can not extend this letter by a special
reference to otiier subjects ujion which the
Convention gave expression. In respect
to them, as well as to those I havo noticed,
I am in entire agreement with the declara
tions of the Convention. The resolutions
relating tu the coinage, to the rebuilding
ol the navy, to coast defenses and to pub
lio lands, expiuss conclusions to all of
which I gave my support iu the Sonata.
Inviting a calm and thoughtful considera
tion of theso public questions we submit
them to tlie people. Their intelligent pa
triotism and the good Providence that
made and has kept us a nation will load
them to wise and safo conclusions. Very
respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
Benjamin Harrison.
