The North American siys : A de
cision just rendered in Long Island
City, New York, to the effect that
base ball playing is a ''pastime," and
therefore is not prohibited by the
Sunday laws, may suit the people of
that section, but it will not be ac
cepted as satisfactory elsewhere.
The associations of the game in the
public mind are such that an abiding
prejudice against it as a Sabbath oc
cupation has very properly been cre
ated. Under this ruling any place
of enteitaiument might with even
greater propriety be kept open.
Base ball playing has Income a reg
ular business, and a tolerably profit
able one, if all accounts can be be
lieved. Last week the Democrat and Reg
ister and the Tribune., contained a
string of resolutions, almost as long
as the platform of the Democratic
party, in regard to the manner in
which the oflices shall be divided
among the politicians of the party.
The whole transaction was a long
visnged piece of business, and doubt
less the parties to it laughed behind
the door at the farcical transaction.
The most ludicrous part of it all, was,
that when they hnd resolved, how
the offices should be divided, they
resolved that the rules of the party
shall be revised. That mnst have
been intended to dust the eyes of
the rank and' file of the party, for if
the committee have the right to di
vide the offices, they have the right
to revise the rules of the party. If
they had added one more resolution
to the long series which they pub
lished; an explanatory resolution.
something like this, they would have
been better understood by their own
people, and by everybody else :
Resolved, That these proceedings
of the committemen are a farce, and
and a joke on the Democracy for
their amusement, that committemen
have no right to nominate and divide
the ofhees, such rights belong exclu
sively to the party by an expression
of a popular vote at the primary elec
tion, and any attempt on the part of
committeemn to change the system
of nomination except by an amend
ment, to bo submitted to the party
for their rejection or acceptance by
a popular vote, is an usurpation of
the primary rules enacted for the
government of the party by a major
ity vote of the Democracy of Juniata
county.
However, this is a matter that con
terse the erring brethren, and be
comes subject matter for journalistic
comment, as one of the local public
events of the times.
in, vim; accepts.
Arci iTA, Me., July 15, 1884.
The Hon. John B. Ilenderson and others of
the Committee, etc., etc.
Gentlemen : In accepting the nomina
tion for the Presidencv tendered roe by the
Republican National Convention, 1 beg to
express a deep sense of the honor which is
couferred and of the duty which i imposed.
I venture to accompany the acceptance with
some observations upon the questions in
volved in the contest questions whose set
tlement may affect the future of the nation
favorably or unfavorably for a long se.ies
of years.
' la enumerating the issue upon which
the Republican party appeals tor popular
support, the Convention has ben singular
ly explicit and felicitous. It has properly
given the leading position to the industrial
interests of the country as affected by the
tariff on imports. On that question the two
political parties are radically in conflict.
Almost the first act of the Republicans
when they came into power in ISlil was the
establishment of the principle of protection
to American labor and to American capital.
This principle the Republican party has ev
er since steadily maintained, while on the
other hand the Democratic partv iu Con
gress has for fifty years persistently warred
upon it. Twice within that period our op
ponents have destroyed tariffs arranged lor
protection, and since the close of the civil
war, whenever they have controlled the
House of Representatives, hostile legisla
tion has been attempted never more cons
picuously than in their principal measure
at the late session of Congress.
THE TARIFF QI'ESTIOM.
Revenue laws are in their very nature
subject to frequent revision in order that
they may be adapted to changes and molli
fications of trade. The Republican party is
not contending for the permanency of any
particular statute. The issue betueeu the
two parties does not have reference to a
sjieoilie law, It is far broader and far due
per. it involves a principle of wide appli
cation and bcnclicunf iiiltuence, against a
theory which we belixve to be unsound in
conception and inevitably hurtful iu prac
tice. In ihe many tariff revisions which
have lien necessary for the past twenty
three years, or which :uay hereafter be
come necessary, the Republican jiarty has
maintained ami will maintain the policy of
protection to American industry, while our
opponents insist upon a revision which
practically destroys that policy. The issue
is thus distinct, wcil defiued and unavoida
ble. The pending election may determine
the fate of protection for a generation.
The overthrow of the policy means a large
aud perntantnt reduction iu the wages ol
the American laborer, b.'sides involving the
loss ol vast amounts of American capital
invested iu manufacturing enterprises. The
value of the present reveuue system to the
people uf the United Slates is Ui,t 1 matter
of theory, and I shall submit no argument
to sustain it. I only invite attention to
certain tacts of official record which seem
to constitute a deiuoiiMratiob.
In the census of lSoi) an effort was made
for the first time in our history to obtain a
valuation of all the property in the Cnited
States. The attempt was in a Urge degree
unsuccessful. Partly from lack of time,
partly from prejudice among many who
thought tfte it qitiries foreshadowed a new
scheme ot taxation, the returns were incom
plete and unsatisfactory. Little more was
done than to consolidate the local valuation
used in the States tor purposes of assess
ment, and that, as every one knows, differs
widely from a complete exhibit ol all the
property.
Iu the census of l.S'iO, however, tin worK
w as done with great thoroughness thedis
tinction between "assessed" value and
"true" value being catvlully observed.
The grand result was that the -true value"
of all the property in the States and terri
tories (excluding siaves) amounted to four
teen thousand million ot dollais($U,"0",
OUO.MJO). This aggregate was the net re
sult of the result of '.lie I ibor and til sav
ings ol all the people w ithin the area of the
United States from the time the first British
colonist landed in I'7 down to the year
IWjil. It represented the fruit of tho toil
of two hundred and fifty years.
After 1M0 the business of the country
was encouraged and developed by a protec
tive tariff. At the end of twenty years the
total property of the United St ites. as re
turned by the census of 189, amounted to
the enormous aggregate of forty-four thou
tand millions ot doilars ($)4,ihm,ikmi.ijii).
This great result was attained notwithstand
ing the tact that countless millions had in
the interval been wasted in the progress of
a bloody war. It thus appears that while
our population between lNiO an I 1HSH in
creased sixty per cent., the aggr"g ite prop
erty of the country increased two hundred
ani lourteen r cent showing a vastly
enhanced wealth per capita among the peo
ple. Thirty thousand millions of dollars
(;i(l,Oott,lHj,l'00) had lieen added during
these twenty years to the permanent wealth
ot the nation.
These results are regarded by the older
nations ot the world as phenomenal. That
our country should surmount the peril and
the cost of a gigantic war, and lor an entire
period of tuenty years make an average
gain to its wealth of $li-,' W,'"! per month,
surpasses the experience of all other na
tions, ancient or modern. Even the oppon
ents ot the present revenue system do not
pretend that in the whole history of civili
zation any parallel can be found to the ma
terial progress of the United States since
the accession of the Republican party to
jiiwer.
The jiriod between lsi',0 and to nay has
not been erne of material prosperity only.
At no time in the history of the United
States has there been such progress in the
moral and philanthropic field. Religious
and charitable institutions, schools, semin
aries and colleges have been founded and
endowed far more generously than at any
previous time in our history. Greater and
more varied relief has been extended to hu
man sntferine, and the entire progress of
tfie country ill wealth has been accompan
ied and dignified by a broadening ar.d ele
vation of our national character as a peo
ple. Our opponent find fault that onr revenue
system produces a surplus. Rut they
should not forget tha the law has given a
spectlic purpose to whi-h all of the surplus
is profitably and honorably applied the re
duction of the public debt and the conse
quent relief of the burden of taxation. Xo
dollar has been wasted, and the only ex
travagance with which the party stand
charged is the generous pensioning of ol
niers, sailors and their families an extrav
agance which embodies the highest form of
justice in the tecognition ana payment ol a
sacred debt. hen ru'luction ol taxation
is to be made, the Republican party can be
trusted to accomplish it in such form as
will most effectively aid the industries of
the nation.
OCR FOREIGN COMMERCE.
A frequent accusation by our opponents
is that the foreign commerce of tho coun
try has steadilr decayed under the influence
of til protective tan If. In this way they
seek to array the importing interest against
the Republican party. It is a common and
yet radical error to confound the commerce
of the country with its carrying trade an
error often committed innocently and some
times designedly but au error so gross
that it does not distinguish between the
ship and the cargo. Foreign commerce
represents the exports and imports of a
country, regardless of the nationality of the
vessel that mav carrv the commodities of
exchange. Our carrying trade has from
obvious causes suffered many discourage
ments ainca 18rjQ, but our foreign com
merce has in the same period steadily and
prodigiously increased increased indeed
at a rate and to an amount which absolute
ly dwarf all previous development of our
trade beyond the sea. From 1&60 to the
present time the foreign commerce of the
United States (divided with approximate
equality between exports and imports)
reached the astounding aggregate of twen-
tv lour thousand millions of dollars ($-1,-0iX,0Ot),nOO).
The balance in this vast
commerce inclined in our favor, but it
would have been ninch larger if our trade
with the countries of America, elsewhere
referred to, had been more wisely adjusted.
It ia difficult even to appreciate the me
nitude ot oar export trade since 18U0, and
we can gain a correct conception of it on
It by comparison with preceding resu.ts in
the same field. The total exports from the
United States from the Declaration of Inde-
I nendence in 1T76 to the day of Lincoln's
I election in 1800, added to all that had been
previously exported from theaAmerican col
onies from their original settlement, amoun
ted to less than nine thousand millions of
dollars ($o,(XK),ik(,000). On the other
hand, our export from 18G0 to tha close
of the last fiscal year exceeded twelve thou
sand millions of dollars ($12,00,0Ju,0JO),
the whole of it being the product of Ameri.
can labor. Evidently a protective tariff
has not injured our export trade, when nn
der its influence we exported in twenty-
lour years forty per cent, more than the to
tal amount that had been exported in the
entire previous history of American com
merce- All the detail when analyzed cor
respond with this eigiutic result. The
commercial cities of the Union never had
such growth as they have enjoyed since
ijstjU. uur enter emporium, the city of
New York, with its dependencies, has with
in that period doubled her population and
increased her wealth live-fold. During the
same period the imports and exports which
have entered and left her harbor are more
than double in bulk and value the whole
amount imported and exported by her be
tween the settlement of the first Dutch col
ony oil the Island of Manhattan -and the
outbreak of the civil war ia IStiO.
AOR1CI LTl l SD THE TARIFF.
The agricultural interest is by lar the
largest iu tha nation, and is entitled in ev
ery adjustment of revenue laws to the first
consideration. Any policy hostile to the
fullest dwelopeiuent ol agriculture in the
United States must ba abandoned. Realiz
ing this fact, the opponents of the present
system of revenue hate labored very earn
estly to persuida the farmers of the United
States that they are robbed by a protective
tariff, and the effort ia thus made to consol
idate their vast influence in faor of free
trade. But happily the farmers of America
are intelligent, aud cannot be misled by so
phistry when conclusive facts are before
them. They see plainly that during the past
twenty-four years wealth has not been ac
quired iu one section or by ono interest at
tne expense of another section or interest.
They see that the agricultural States have
male evea more rapid progress than tho
manufacturing States.
The farmers sea that in lSo'J Massachus
etts and Illinois had about the sam-) wealth
between eight and nine hundred million
dollars each and that in Massachus
etts had advanced to twenty-six hundred
millions, while Illinois had advanced to
thirtv-two hundred millions. Thev sea; that
New Jersey and Iowa were just equal in
population in lytjil, and that in twenty years
the wealth of New Jersey was increased by
tho sum of eight hundred and titty millions
ol dollars, while the wealth ot Iowa was in
creased bv the sum ol fitteeu hundred mill
ions. They see that the niue leading agri
cultural States of the west have grown o
rapidly in prosperity that the aggregate ad
dition to their wealth since lSi' is almot
as great as the wealth of the entire country
iu that year. They see that tha south,
which is almost exclusively agricultural,
has shared in the general prosperity, and
that having recovered from the loss and de
vastation of war, has gained so rapi lly that
its total wealth is at least the double of that
which it possessed in lo(, exclusive of
slaves.
In these extraordinary developements
the farmers see the healthful impulse of a
home market, and thev fee that the. finan
cial and revenue steni enacted since the
Republican party caiue into power baa es
tablished and constantly expanded the home
m.irtwt. Thev see tb it even in tha case of
wheat, which is onr chief cvreal export.
they have sold in the average of the years
sinca the close of the war three bushels at
home to one thy have sold abroad, ami
that in the case of corn, the only other ce
real which we export to any extent, one
hundred bushels have been used at home
to three and a half bushels exported. In
some years the dispsrity has beeu great
that for every peck of corn exported one
hundred bushels h've been consumed in the
home market. The farmer see that in the
increasing competition trom the grain fields
of Russia and from the distant plains of
India, the growth ol the home market be
comes daiiv of greater concern to them,
and that its impairment would depreciate
tl.e value of every acre of tillable land in
the Union.
OCR INTERNAL COMMERCE.
Such facts a these touchm; tha growth
and consumption of cereals at home give
us some slight conception ot the vastucss
of the internal commerce of the United
States. They suggest also that, in addition
to the advantages which the American peo
ple enjoy from protection against foreign
compclion, they enjoy this advantages of
absolute free trade over a larger area and
with a greater population thin any other
nation. Th internal commerce of our
thirtv-eight States and nine Territories is
carried ou without let or hindrance, w ith
out tax, detention or'-governmeut.il interfer
ence of any kind whatever. It spreads
ireely over an area of three and a hall mill
ions ot square miles almost equal in ex
tent to Ihe whole continent of Europe. Its
profits are enjoyed to-day by tiltj-.si. mill
ions of American freemen, and from this
enjoyment no monopoly is created. Accor
ding to Alexander Hamilton, when he dis
cussed the same subject in 17'J'l, '-the in
ternal competition which takes place does
away with everything like monopoly, aud
by degress reduce the price of articles to
the minimum ol' a reasonable profit on the
capital employed." It is impossible to
point to a single monopoly in the United
jf tales that has been created or fostered by
the industrial system which is upheld by
the Republican party.
Compare! with onr foreign commerce
these domestic exchanges are inconceiva
bly great in amount requiring merely as
one instrumentality as large a mileage of
railway as exists to-day in all the other na
tions of the world combined. These inter
nal exchanges are estimated by the Statis
tical Burea i of the Treasury Department to
be annually twenty times as great in amount
:m our foreign commerce. It is into this
vast field ol home trade at once the crea
tion and the heritage of the American peo
ple that loreign nations are striving by
every device to enter- It is into this field
that the opponents of our present revenue
system would Ireelv admit the countries of
Europe countries into whose internal trade
we could not reciprocally enter countries
to w hich we should be surrendering every
advantage of trade, from which we should
Ik- gaining nothing in return.
EFFECT trO.V MECHANICS AND LABORERS.
A policy of this kind would be disastrous
to the mechanics and wor'iitig ncn of the
United States. Wages are unjustly reduc
ed when an indnstsioiis man is not able by
his earnings to live in comfort, educate his
children and lay by a stilbcietit amount lor
the necessities id age. The reduction of
wages inevitably consequent upon throwing
our home market open to the world would
deprive them of the power to do this. It
would prove a great calamity to our conn
try. It would produce a conflict between
the poor and the rich, and in the sorrow
ful degradation ol labor would plant the
seeds of public danger.
The Republican party has steadily aimed
to maintain just relations between labor
and capital guarding with care the rights
of each. A conflict between the two has
always led in the past and will always lead
in the future to the injury of both. Labor
is indispensable to the creation and profita
ble, use ol capital, and capital increases the
efficiency and value of labor. Whoever ar
rays tho one against the other is an enemy
ot both. That policy is wisest and best
which harmonizes the two on the basis of
absolute justice. The Republican party has
protected the free labor of America so that
its compensation is larger than in realized
in any other country. It has guarded our
people against the unfair competition of
contract l.ihor from China, and may be cal
led upon lo prohibit the growth of a simil
ar evil from Enrope. It is nnobviously un
fair to permit capitalists to make contracts
for cheap labor in foreign countries to the
hurt and disparagement of the labor of
American citizen. Such a policy (like that
which would leave the time and other con
ditions of home labor exclusively in the
control of the employer) is injurious to all
parties not tha least so to the nnhappy
lrsons who are made the subjects of the
contract. The institutions of the United
States res; upon the intelligence and virtue
of all the people. Suffrage is made univer
sal as a just weapon of self protection to
every citizen. It is not to the interest of
the Republic that any economic system
should be adopted which involves tha re
daction of wages to the bard standard pre
vailing elsewhere. The Republican party
aims to elevate and dignify labor not to
degrade iL
As a substitute for Ihe industrial system
which under Republican administrations
baa developed such extraordinary prosper
ity, our opponents offer a policy which is
but a series ol experiments upon onr sys
tem of revenue a policy whose end must
be trarm to our niannlactures and greater
harm to our labor. Experiment in the in
dustrial and financial system is the conn
try's greatest dread, as stability is its great
est boon. Even the uncertainty resulting
from the recent tariff agitation in Congress
baa hurttully affected the business of the
entire country. Who can measure the harm
to our shops and our homes, to onr farms
and our commerce, il the uncertainty of
perpetual tariff agitation i lo be inflicted
upon the country We are in the midst ol
an abundant harvest ; wc are on the evo of
a revival of general prosperity. Nothing
stands in our way but the dread of achange
in the industrial system which has wrought
such wonders in the last twenty years, and
which with the power of increased capital
will work still greater marvels of prosperi
ty in the twenty yesrs to come.
OUR FORElli.X r-OLICT.
Our foreign relations favor our domestic
development. We are at peace with the
world at peace upon a sound basis, with
no unsettled question of sufficient magni
tude to embarass or detract us. Happily
removed by our geographical position from
participation or interest in those questions
of dynasty or boundary which so frequent
ly disturb the peace ol Europe, wo are left
to cultivate friendly relations with all, and
are free from possible entanglement in the
quarrels of any. The United States has no
Cause and no desire to engage in conflict
w ith any t ower on earth, and we may rest
in assured confidence that no Power desir
es to attack the United States.
With the nations of the western hemis
phere we should cultivate closer relations,
and lor our common prosperity and advan
cement we should invito thmn all to join
with us in an agreement that for the future
all international troubles in North or South
America shall be adjusted by impartial ar
bitration, and not by arms. This project
was part ot the fixed policy of President
Uartield'g administration, and it should in
my judgement be renewed. Its accomplish
ment on this continent would favorably af
fect the nations beyond the sea, and thus
powerlully contribute at no distant dav to
the universal acceptance of the philanthro
pic aud Christian principle of arbitration.
The etl'.ct even ol suggesting it lor the
Spanish Americau States has been most
happy, aud has increased the confidence of
those people iu our friendly disposition. It
fell to my lot as Svcretaiy of Slate in June,
1VM, to quiet appreheusion in the Repub
lic of Mexico, by giving the assurance in au
official dispatch that "Ihare is not the faint
est desire in the United States lor territor
ial extension south of the Rio Grande. The
boundaries of the two Republics have been
established in coiilormity with the best jui
isdirlional interests ol both. The line of
demarcation is not merely conventional. It
is mure. It separates a Spanish-American
people from a Saxou-American peuple It
clmoes ue great nation Iroui another with
distinct and natural finality."
We seek the conquests of eaee. We de
sire to extend our commerce, and in an es-l-ci.il
degree with our Iriends and neigh
bors on tins continent. We have not im
proved our relatious with Spanish-America
as wisely aud as persistently as we might
have done. For more than a generation tho
sy nipaihy of those countries has been al-
loued to drill awav from us. We should
now make every effort to gain their friend
ship. Uur trails with them is already large.
During ihe last year our exchanges in the
western hemisphere amounted to three hun
dred and titty millions of dollars nearly
one-fourth of our entire foreign commerce.
To those wno may be disposed to underrate
the aalne of our trade with the countries ot
North and South America, it may 13 well
to state that their population Is uearly or
quite 111 rv millions, and that, in proportion
to aggregate numbers, we import nearly
double as much from iln-ni as we do from
Europe. Kat tun result ol the w hole Amer
ican trade Is in a high degree unsatisfact
ory. The imports during the past year ex
ceeded two hundred and tweiity-tivo mill
ions, whi.e the exports were less than one
hundred and twenty-live millions showing
a balance against us ot more than one hun
dred millions ol dollars. But the money
does not go to Spanish Ameica. Wtt send
large sinus to Europe in coin or its equiva
lent to pay European manufacturer lor the
goods which thev send lo Spanish America.
Ve are but paymasters for this enormous
amount annually to European factors an
amount which is a serious draft, in every
financial depression, upon our resources of
specie.
Cannot this condition of trade in great
part be changed I Cannot the market for
our products be greatly enlarged We have
made a beguil ing in our effort to improve
our trade relation with Mexico, and we
should not be content until similar and mu
tually advantageous arrangements have been
successively made with every nation of
North aud South America. While the
great Power of Europe are steadily enlarg
ing their colonial dominion in Asia and Af
rica, it is the especial province ot this coun
try to improve and expand its trade with
the nations of America. Xo field promises
so much. No field ha been cultivated so
little. Our foreign policy should b? n
American policy in its broadest and most
comprehensive senge a policy of peace, ol
friendship, ol commercial enlargement.
The name of American, which belongs to
us in our national rapacity, roust always
exalt the just pride ot patriotism. Citizen
ship ot the Republic must he the panoply
and safeguard ot him who wears it. The
AmiTican citizen, rich or HKr, native or
naturalized, w hite or colore!, must every
where walk secure in his personal and civil
rights. The Republic should never accept
a lesser duty, it can never assume a nobler
one, than the protection of the humblest
man who owe it loyalty protection at
home, and protection which shall follow
bim abroad, into w hatever land he nny go
upon a lawful errand.
THE SOl'THERN STATES.
I recognize, not without regret, the ne
cessity for speaking ol two sections of our
common country. But the regret diminish
es when I see that the elements which sep
arated them are last disappearing. Preju
dices hare yielden and are yielding, wh le
agrowing coidiality warms the southern
and the northern heart alike. Can any one
doubt that between the sections confidence
and esteem are lo day more marked than at
any period in the sixty years preceding the
election ol President Lincoln This is the
result in part of Republican principles, ap
plied under the favorable conditions ot uni
tormity. It would be a great calamity to
change these ititluences uuder whieh south
ern commonwealths are learning to vindi
cate civil rights, and adapting themselves
to the conditions of political tranquility
and industrial progress. If there be occa
sional and violent outbreaks In the south
against this peaceful progress, the public
opinion of the country regards them a ex
ceptional, and hopetull trusts that sach will
prove the last
Th-; south needs capital and occupation
not controversy. As much a any part of
the north, the south needs the lull protec
tiun of the revenue laws which the Repub
lican party offer. Some of the southern
Status have already entered upon a career
ot industrial development ami prosperity.
These at least should not lend their elec
toral Tote to destroy their own future.
Any effort to unite the southern States
upon issues that grow out of the memories
of the war w ill summon the northern States
to combine in the assertion ot that nation
ality which was their inspiration in tbeciv
il struggle. And thus great energies which
be united in a common industrial develop
ment will be wasted in hurtful strife. The
Democratic party shows itself a foe to
southern prosperity by always invoking and
urging southern political consolidation.
Such a policy quenches the rising instinct
of patriotism in the heart of the southern
youth :it revives and stimulates prejudice ;
it substitutes the spirit of barbaric ven
geance for the love of peace, progress and
harmony.
. THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The general character of the civil service
of the United States under ail administra
tions has been honorable. In the one su
preme test the collection and disburse
ment ol revenue the record of fidelity has
never been surpassed in any nation. With
the almost fabulous sums which Were re
ceived and paid during tha late war, scru
pulous integrity was Ihe prevailing rule.
Indeed, throughout that trying period it
can be said, to the honor of the American
name, that unfaithfulness and dishonesty
among civil officers were as rare as miscon
duct and cowardice on tha field of battle.
The growth of the country his continual
ly and necessarily enlarged thecivil service,
until now it includes a vast body of officers.
Rules and methods of appointment which
prevailed wben the number was smaller
Lave been found insufficient and impractic
able, and earnest efforts have been made to
separate the great mags of ministerial of
ficers from partesan influence and personal
control. Impartiality in the mode of ap
pointment to be based on qualification, and
security of tenure to be based on faithful
discharge of duty, are the two ends to ba
accomplished. The public business will be
aided by separating the legislative branch
of the government from all control of ap
pointments, and the Executive Department
will be relieved by subjecting appointments
to fixed rule, and thus removing them from
the caprice ot favoritism. But there should
be rigid observance of the law which gives
in all casaes of equal competency tho pref
erence to the soldiers who risked their lives
in defence of tho Union.
I entered Congress in 1)3, and in a
somewhat prolonged service I never found
it expedient to request or recommend the
removal of a civil officer except in four in
stances, and then for non political reasons,
which were instantly conclusive with the
appointing power. The ctlicers in the Dis
trict appointed by Mr. Lincoln in lefil, up
on the recommendation of my predecessor,
served as a rule until death or resignation.
I adopted at the beginning of my service
the test of competitive examination for ap
pointments Xo West Point, and maintained
it is so long as I had tho right by law to
nominate a cadet. In the case of many of
ficers I tound that the present law which
arbitrarily limits the term of the commis
sion ottered a constant temptation to chan
ges tor mere political reasons. 1 have pub
licly expressed the Iwlief that the essential
modification of that I tw would hi inmany
respect advantageous.
My observation in the Department of
State confirmed the conclusions of my leg
islative experience and impression me with
the conviction that the rule of impartial ap
pointment might with advantage be cirried
beyond any existing provision of the Civil
Service law. It should be appliey to ap
pointments iu tha consular service. Con
suls should be commercial sentinels encir
cling the globe with watchfulness for their
country's interests. Their intelligence and
competency become, therelore, matters ot
great public concern. No man should Ik- ap
pointed to an American consulate wh i is
not well instructed in the history and re-
souiccs of his own country by which he is
sent. The same rule should be applied ev
en more rigidly to diplomatic service. The
people have the right to the most efficient
uguuts in tho discharge of puolic business,
and tbe appointing power should regard
this as the prior aud ulterior consideration.
THE MORMON QI'ESTIOX.
Religious liberty is the right of every
citizen of the Republic. Congress is for
bidden by the Constitution to make any law
'respecting tne establishment ol religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
For a century, under this guarautee, Prot
estant and Caihoiic, Jew and Guutil), have
worshiped tiod according t-J thtf dictates of
conscience. But religious liborty must not
be perverted lo tne justification of olleiicis
i against the law. A religious sect, troug:y
intrenched iu one ot Ihe Territories ol the
Union, and spreading rapidly luto four oilier
Territories, Claims tne right to destroy the
great safeguard aud mil mint lit of social or
der, and to practice as a religious privilege
that which is a eniuj pun. she. i witu severe
penalty in ever State ot the Union. Tne
s.icredness aud unity ot the family must be
jireserved as the foundation ot all civil gov
ernment, as the source ol orderly adminis
tration, as tiie surest guarantee of moral
purity.
The claim of the Mormons that they are
divinely authorized to practise poiygainy
should no more be admitted than tne- claim
ot certain heathen tril.es, it they should
come among us lo continue the riirht of
human sacrifice. The la does not inter
fere witii what a man believes; it takes cog
nizance only of w hat ho does. As citizeus,
toe Mormons are untitle to the same ciril
rights as others, and to these they must bu
contiucd. Iol gamy can never receive na
tional sanction or toleratiou by admitting
the community that upholds it as a Statu lit
Ihe Union. Like others, tho Morui .us must
learu that the liberty ol the individu tl ceases
vvU-re the rights oi society b-giu.
OCR Cl'IIKKNCT.
The people ol liie United States, though
otleu urged and femp'ed, have never seri
ously contemplated tne recognition ol any
other money than gold and stiver a.a 1 cur
rency uireclly ceiiver:ible into Uiein. They
have not done so, they w ill not do, under non
necessity less pressing than that ol despe
rate war. The one special requisite lor the
completion ol our momentary system is the
fixing ol the relalive values of silver and
gold. The large use of silver as t;.e money
of account among Asiatic nations, taken iu
connection with tfie increasing commerce
ot the world, gives the weighiie-.t reasons
tor an international agreement in the prem
ises. Our government should uoc ceasa to
urge this mea-ure uuUl a common standard
ot value shall be reached and established
a si alio aru that shall eiiaiiiu the United
State to u.e the silver from in mine, as an
auxiliary to cold in settling the nalances of
commercial exchange.
THE PI'BLIC LINOS.
Til strength f tha Republic ia increas
ed by tho multiplication ot landholders.
Our laws shoal-1 lo ik to ttiu j lili:i..us en-t-ourageiueut
tti a :tu il net'ler.-. on t'l-: pub
lic domain, whieti should heti'-ci.irth be
held as a sacred trust tor tne hem-lit ol
those racking homes. The tendency to
consolidate larg; tracks ot land in the own
ership of individuals or corsirations shoti'd,
w ith projier regard lo vested rights, Iu dis
couraged. One hundred thousand acres of
land in tbe hands of one man i far less
profitable to the nation in every way than
when it ownership is divided among one
thousand men. The evil ol peruuttiug large
tracts of the national domain t'j b:i cotisoli.
dated and controlled by the fear an id the
many is enhanced when tho pjrs-ms con.
trolling it are aliens. It is but fair that the
public. i. mil should be disposed of only to
actual settlers and to thosa who arc citi
zens of the Republic or willing to become
so.
OIT Sllll'PINU INTEREST.
Among our national interests one lan
guishes tbe foreign carrying-trade. It was
seriously crippled in nur civil war, and an
other blow ws given lo it iu ihe general
suiisiiiution of steam for siil in ocean trailic.
With a froiiUgo on the two great oceans,
with a freightage larger than that of any
other nation, we have every inducem"nt to
restore our navigation. Yet Ihe govern
ment has hitherto refused its help. A small
share of the encouragement given by thb
government to railway snd to manufac
ture, and small share ot the capital and
the zeal given by our citizens to those en
terprises, would have carni-1 our ships to
every sea and to every port. A law just en
acted removes some oi the burdens upon
our navigation and inspires hope that this
great interest may at last r-ceive its due
shaje of attention. All efforts in this direc
tion should receive enc uuragcuicnt.
SACRKONES OF THE BALLOT.
This survey of our condition a a nation
remind us that material prosperity is but a
mockery if it does not tend to preserve tbe
liberty of the people. A free bailot is the
safeguard ef Republican institution, with
out which no national welfare is assured.
A popular election, honestly conducted,
embodies the very majesty of true govern
ment!. Ten millions of voters desire to
tafee part in the pending contest. The safety
of the Republic rests upon the integrity ol
the ballot npon the security of suffrage to
the citizen. To deposit a fraudulent vote is
no worse crime against constitutional liborty
than to obstruct the deposit of an houest
vote. He w ho corrupts suffrage strikes at
the very root of tree government, lie is
the arch enemy of the Republic. He forgets
that in trampling upon rights ol other sh fa
tally imperials his own right. '-It is a good
land which the Lord our (iod doth give us,"
but we can maintain our heritage only by
guarding w ith vigilance the source of pop
ular power. I am, w ith great respect, your
obedient servant,

Without the urgent solicitation of nn

Senator, subject to Republican usages'.
That I posses the ability to discharge the

found no agreement could be had between
the Senate and Ihe lionse. His course iu
the House of Representative was such as
to deserve commendation. Knowing the
wants of his constituents so well, and with
his legislative experience, his nomination
would be a meiited one, and be to the best
interests ot the Republican party.
