Wm hixoton, Sep. 6. The following la
President Harrison's letter ncccptlng
tho IiepMblicnu iiomlnntiun for tho office
of Prcslilent of the United states:
WAHiiiNriTOW, Sen. 3, 1892.
linn.
irfllfam McKinley, Jr., and others, Com-
nifffe, etc. Gentlemen,
I now avail myself of the first period of
relief from public duties to respond to the
notification which you brought to me on
Juno 20, of my nomination for the ofTlce
of President of the United States by tho
Republican National convention recently
held nt Minneapolis. I nccept tho nomin
ation, and am grateful for tho oporoval
expressed by the convention of the
acts of the nilminlstrntlon.
. I slinll speak frankly of tho legislation
of Congress and of the work of tho execu
tive departments, for tho credit of any
successes that have been attained is in
such measure due to others Senators
and Representatives, and to tho efficient
hends of tho several executivo depart
ments that I may do so without impro
priety. The grent work of tho Fifty-first Con
gress has been subjected to the revision
of a Democratic House of Itcpresenta
t ives, nud tho acts of tho executive de
partment to its scrutiny and investiga
tion. A Democratic national adminis
tration, and tlie freshness ot tho events
give unusual facilities for fair compari
son and judgment. Thoro has seldom
been a time, I think,, when a change from
tho declared policies of tho Republican to
the declared policies of the Democratic
party involved such serious results to the
business interests of tho country.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
Tho Republican party during the civil
war devised a national currency, consist
ing of United States notes, issued and re
deemable by tho government, and of na
tional bank notes, based upon thesecurity
of United States bonds. A tax was levied
upon the issues of State banks, and tho
intended result, that all such issues
should bo withdrawn, wns re.jli7.etl. The
notes furnished directly or indirect!? bv
the United States have been the only, and
the safe, and acceptable paper.currency of
tho people. Our money is 'all national
money I might almost say International,
for theso bills are not only equally anil
indiscriminately accepted at par in all tho
States, but in some foreign countries.
The Democratic party, if entrusted with
the control of tho government, is now
pledged to repeal the tax on State bank
issues, with a view to putting into circu
lation again, under such diverse legisla
tion as the States may adopt, a flood of
local bank issues. Only those who, in
the years liefore the war, experienced the
inconvonieuces and losses attendant upon
the use of such money, can appreciate
what a return to that system involves.
Changes may become neoesgnry, but a
national system of currency safe and
acceptable throughout the whole coun
tryis the good fruit of bitter exneri-
ences; and 1 am sure our people will not
consent to the reactionary proposal made
by the Democratic party,
THE OCEAN CARRVlNa TRADE.
Few subjects have elicited more discus
sion or excited more general interest
than that of a recovery by the United
States of its appropriate share of the
ocenn-carrylng trade. Practically all the
freights for transporting to Europe the
enormous annual supplies of provisions
furnished by this country and for the
large return of manufactured Droducts
have for many "years been paid to foreign
"u, "woe, ine mercuanuiso balance
f trade, which the Treasury books show.
snip owners. The merchandise
is largely reduced by the annual tribute
which we pay for freight and passage
monies.
The undisputed fact is that the great
steamship lines of Durope were built up
and are now in part sustained b" direct
or indirect government nid. It is plain
to every intelligent American that if tho
United States would have such linos, u
similar policy must be ejiterod upon.
Tho Fifty-lirst Congress enacted such a
law, and, under its beneficent Influence,
10 American steamships of an aggregate
tonnage of 57.400 toiis.aud costing $7,400,
000, have been built or contracted to be
built in American shipyards. In addi
tion to this it is now practically certuin

h,y ti.thBi,r n,urkfc- Uit credit is
Uub to Mr. Uluine Jor the vigor with
which he pruwid this
view upou
the
couutry.
I lie obvious eflloacv of this nnllnv. tn
increasing the forwgu trade of the United
States, at once attracted the alarmed at
tention of European trade journal aud
boards of trade. At n weetim held in
Marsh lust ef th As.ociaUd ChamUr of
Commerce of Great Britain, the President
reported thstthe exports from Great
Drltain to the Latin American countries
during the last jear had decroased $23,
750.000, and that this was not due to
temporary causes, but directly to the re
ciprocity policy of the United States.
Germany and franca hare also shown
their startled appreciation of the fact that
a- new and rigorous contestant has ap
peared in tho hattlo of the markets aud
has already secured Important advan
tages. The most convincing evidence of
the tremendous commercial strength of
our position Is found in the fact that
Great Hrltaln and Spain have found it
necessary to make reciprocal trade agree
ments with us for their West India colo
nics, and that Germany and Austria
have given us important concessions In
exchange for the continued free importa
tion of their beet sugar.
Partly by reason of tho reciprocal trade
agreoment, but more largely by reason of
the removal of the sanitary restrictions
upon American pork, our export of pork
products to Germany increased during
the ten months ending Juno 80 last
$3,025,074, or about 32 per cent.
The Democratic platform promises a
repeal of the tariff law containing this
provision and especially denounces as a
"sham reciprocity" that section of tho
law under which these trade arrange
ments have been made. If no other isstio
wore involved in the campaign this nlono
would give it momentous Importance.
Are the farmers of the great grain grow
ing States willing to surrender theso now,
large and increasing markets for their
surplus! Are we to have nothing in ex
change for the free importation ot sugar
and coffee, and at the same time to de
stroy tho sugar plnntersof tho South and
the beet-sugar Industry of tho Northwest
and of tho Pacific coagt; or are wo to have
tho taxed sugarand coffee, which a "tar
iff for revenue only'' necessarily involves,
with the added los of tho now markets,
which have been opanedl
Our commercial rivals in Europe do
not regard this reciprocity policy as a
"sham," but as a serious threat to a trade
supremacy they have long enjoyed. They
would rejoice and, if prudence did not
restrain, would Illuminate their dopressed
manufacturing citios over tho nows that
tho United States had abandoned its sys
tem of protection and reciprocity.
THE PROTECTION DOCTRINE.
Tho declaration of the platform in favor
of "Tho American Doctrine ot Protection"
meets my most hearty npprov.il. Tho
convention did not adopt n schedule, but
n principlo that is to control nil tariff
schedules. Thero may be differences of
opinion among protectionists as to tho
rate upon particular articles necessary to
effect un equalization between wages
abroad and at home. In somo not remote
national campaigns the issue has been
or, more correctly, has been made to
appear to bo between a high and u low
protective tariff both parties expressing
some solicitous regard for tho wagos of
our worKlng people, and for tho pros
perity of our domestic industries.
Rut, under a more courageous leader
ship, tho Democratic party lias now prac
tically declared that, if given power, it
will enact u tariff law without auy regard
to Its effect upon wagos or upon tho capi
tal invested luour great Industries. Tho
majority report of tho committee on plat
form to the Democratic national oonven- I
tlon at Chicago contained this clause:
"1 hat when custom house taxation Is
levied upon articles of any kind produced
in this country the difference betweeu
the co;f of labor hero nnd labor abroad,
when such a difference oxlsts, fully
measures any possible benefits to labor,
and tho enormous additional impositions
of tho existing tariff full with crushing
force upon our farmers and working
men." Hero we have a distinct admission of
the Kepublicnn contortion that American
workmen nro advantaged by a tariff rate
equal to the difference between home aud
foreign wages, and a declaration only
against the alleged "additional imposi
tions" of tho existing tariff law.
Again, this raajorliy report further de
clared: "But, in making a reduction in taxes,
it Is not proposed to injure any domestic
industries, but rather to promote their
hoalthy growth. Moreover, many indus
tries have come to rely on legislation for
successful continuance, so that any
change of law must be at every step re
gardful of the labor and the capital thus
involved."
Here wo have an admission that many
of our industries depend upon protective
duties "for tholr successful continuance,"
and a declaration that tarlll changes
should bo regardful of the workmen in
such industries and ot " the invested
capital.
Tho overwhelming rejection of thesa
propositions, which had before received
the sanction of Democratic national con
ventions, was not more indicative of the
new and more courageous leadership to
which tho party lias now committed it
self than tho substitute which wiis adopt
ed. This Bustitute declares that protect
ive duties uro unconstitutional high
protection, low protection all unconsti
tutional, ifeciproclty, of course falls un
der this denunciation, for its object) and
effect are not revenue, but the promotion
of commercial exchungos, tho profits of
which go wholly to our producers.
This mad crusade 'against American
shops, the bitter epithets applied to
American mauufaoturera, the persistent
disbelief of every report of the opening of
a tin-plate mill, or of an Increase ot our
foreign trade by reciprocity, are as sur
prising us thoy are discreditable. Thero
is nut a thoughtful busiuess man iu the
country who does not know that the
enactment into law of tho declaration of
tho Chicago convention upou the subject
of the tariff would at once plunge tho
country into a business convulsion such
us It has never seen.
Thore is iwt a thoughtful workiugman
that does not know that it would at once
enormously reduce tho umouut of work
to bo douo In this couutry, by tho in
crease of importations that would follow,
nnd necessitate a reduction of his wages
iu ine ciirupoau standard. If any oue
suggests that thus radical polioy will not
be executed If tho Detnooratlo party attains
power, what will be thought of a party
l hat is capable of thus trilling with great
interests i
TI1K TMilFr LAW.
And now a few words in regard to the
existing tarlir law. Wa are fortunately
ablt) to judge of its lnlluenoe upou pro
duction aud prices by the market reports.
An examination into the effect of the law
upon tlie prices ot protected products and
of the cost of suoli articles as enter into
the living of people of small means, has
been made b,- u Senate committee oom
pooed of leading Senators of both parties,
with the aid of the best statistioia is, und
tho report, signed by all tho members of
tho committee, has been made public
No sucu wide and careful luquiry has
ever before beon made. These facts ap
pear from the report:
Firnt The cost ot artlcls ntring lata
ans us o of those earning less than $1,000
per annum, has decreased up to May,
1802, 8-4 per cent. while In farm pro
ducts there has been ajHncrease in prices,
owing In part to an increased foreign de
mand and the opening of new markets.
Second There has been on average ad
vance in the rate of wages of .75 of one
per cent.
Third There has been an advance In
tho price of nil farm products of lb. (17 per
ttent., nnd of all coroals 33.50 per cent.
The ninth annual report of the chief of
the bureau of labor statistics of tho State
of New York a Democratic officer very
recently issued, strongly corroborates, as
to that State, the facts found by the Sen
ate committee. His extended Inquiry
shows that in the year immediately fol
lowing tho passage of the tariff net of
1800 the aggregate sum paid in wages in
that State was $t),377,02o in excess, nnd
tho nggregnto production $31,315,180 in
excess of tho preceding year.
In view of this showing of an increase
in wages, of a reduction In tho cost of nr
tlclos of common necessity, nud of a
mnrkod advance in tho prices of ngricul-1
tural products, it is plain that this tariff
law has not imposed burdens, but has
conforred benefits, upon tho farmer aud
the workiugmnn.
Some special effects of the act should
hero be noticed. It was a courageous
attempt to rid our pooplo of a long-maintained
foreign monopoly in the produc
tion of tin-plato, poarl buttons, silk
plush, linens, lace, etc.
Onco or twice in our history tho pro
duction of tin-plate had been attempted
aud tho prices obtained by tho Welsh
makers would havo enabled our makers
to produce it at profit. But tho Welsh
makers at onco cut prices to a point that
drovo tho American beginners out of tho
business, and, when this was accom
plished, made their own prices.
The official returns to tho Treasury
Department of tho production of tin and
terno plates, iu tho United States during
the last Use il yoar, show a total produc
tion of 13,210,810 pounds and a compari
son of the flrt quarter 920,022 pounds,
with the last 8,000,000 pounds shows
tho rapid development of tho industry.
Over 5,000,000 pounds during tho last
quarter were made from American black
plates, tho remainder from foreign plates.
Mr. Ayer, the Treasury agont iu charge,
estimates, as the result of careful inqu iry,
that tho production of the current year
will bo 100,000,000 pounds, and that by
the end of the year our production will lie
at tho rate of 200,000,000 pounds per
annum.
Another industrythat hns beju practi
cally created by tho McKiuloy bill is tho
making of pearl buttons. Few articles
coining to us from abroad, were so dis
tinctly tho product ot starvation wiijes.
This tariff law has given employment
to many thousands of American men and
women, and will each year give employ
ment to increasing thousands. Is repeal
would throw thousands out, of employ
ment, and give work to others only at
reduced wagos. The appeals of the free
trador to thoworkingmanare largely ad
dressed to his prejudices or to his passions
and not infrequently are pronouncedly
communistic. Tho now Democratic lead
ership rages at tho employer, and seeks
to communicate this rage to tho employe.
I regret that all employers of labor are

sometimes takes too large a share of the
profit. But I do not see that these evils
will be ameliorated by a tariff policy, the
llrst necessary step ot which is a severe
; wage cut nnd the second a large diminu
tion of the aggregate amount of work to
I bo done in this country. If the injustice
of liis employer tempts tho workman to
strike back, ho shonld be very sure that
his blow does not fall upon his own head,
or upon his wife and children.
Tho Southern States have had a liberal
participation in the benefits of tho tarlll
luw, and, though their representa
tives have generally opposed tho. protec
tion policy, I rejoice that their sugar,
rice, coal, ores, iron, fruits, cotton cloths,
and other products, have not boen loft to
tho fate which tho votes of their represen
tatives would liavo brought upon them.
In tho construction of the Nicaruugua
canal, in tho new trade with South and
Central America, in the establishment oi
American steamship lines, these States
have also special interests, and all thos
interests will not always consent to
be without representation at Washington.
FHEB COI.VAOE OF SILVEH.
Tho resolution of tho convention In
favor of bo-metallism declares, I think,
tho true and necessary conditions of n
movement that has, upon theso lines, my
cordial adherenco and support. I am
thoroughly convinced that tho free coin
age of silver, at such a ratio to gold ai
will maintain the equality In their com
mercial usea of tho two coined dollars,
would conduce to the prosperity of all tin
great producing aud commercial nationi
of tho world. The one essential condi
tion is thut theso dollars shall have and
retain un equal acceptability und value in
all commercial transactions.
THE CIVIL BEllVIOE.
The Civil Service system lias boon ex
tended nnd the law onforcod with vigor
and Impartial ity. Thero has beon no par
tisan juggling with the law in any of the
departments or bureuus, as before Imp-
jiuuuu out appointments to tlio classl
Hod service ha vo been made impartially
from the ellgi hie list. The system in all
the departments has for tho first time
piuoea promotions strictly upou tho basis
ot merit.
IIONBST P.LBOTIOXS.
It seemed to mo at tho time of writing
my last annual message, that an appeal
to our peopio to consider the question of
re-adjusting our legislation upou ab
solutely fair non-partisan lines might
find somo effective response. Many times
I have had occasion to say that laws and
election methods, doslgned to givo unfair
advantage to tho party mukiitg them,
would some time bo used to perpetuate iu
power a faction or a party against tho
willot the majority of tho people. Ol
this we seem to have an Illustration iu
tlie reoent State election in Alabama.
Thero was uo Iiepiiblioau ticket iu the
field. The contest was between white
Democrats.
Tlie Kolb party say tboy were refused
tho reprateutAUon guaranteed by law
upon the election boards; uud thut, when
the courts by mandamus attempted to
right that wrong, an Appeal time oould
not be heard until after xtie election made
the writs iueirectu.il. Ballot bjxes were
thrown out for alleged irregularities or
destroyed; and it Ik asserted on behalf ol
ona half, at least, ot the wuite votwrs o
Alabama that the officers to wlum certi

would rejoice at such n solution as a
healthy and patriotic soutlmont Is tho
best assurance of free and honest elec
tions. I shall again urgo upou Congress
that provision be made for tho appoint
ment of a non-partisan commission to
consldor the subject of apportionments
nnd elections, Iu their relation to the
choice of Federal olllcors.
EDUCATION AND THE SCHOOLS.
Tlie approval so heartily given by tho
convention to nil those agencies which
contribute to the education of tho chil
dren of the land was worthily bestowed
and meets my hearty approval, as does
also tlie declaration ns to liberty of
thought and conscience, und the separa
tion of church and State. Our interests
in free public schools open to nil children
ot suituble ago is supreme, and our care
for them will be zealous aud constant.
The public hchool system, however, was
not Intended to restrain tho natural riirht
of tho parent, after contributing to the
public school fund, to chose other educa
tional agencies for his children.
AOnlCULTUItE AND THE HOO.
The considerate attention of the farmers
of the whole country is invited to the'
work dono through the Stato Agricultural
Departments in tho interest of agricul
ture. Our pork products hud for 10 vears
been not only excluded by tho great
continental nations of Europe, but their
value discredited by tlie reasons given
for this exclusion. All previous eirorts
to secure the removal of these restrictions
failed, but the wise legislation of the
Fifty-first Congress, providing for tho
inspection and official certification of our
meats and giving to the President power
to forbid tho introduction into this coun
try of selected products of such countries
as should continue to refuseour inspected
meats enabled us to open all markets of
Europe to our pork products. Tho result
has been not only to sustain prices by
providing new markets for our surplus,
but to add 50 cents per hundred pounds
to the market value of, tho inspected
meats.
THE PIIESIDENT'S FOREIGN POLICT.
It lias been tho purpose of tho adminis
tration to make its foreign policy not a
matter of partisan politics but of patriot
ism and national honor; and I havo very
great gratification in being ablo to state
that tho Democratic mombers of the com
mittees of foreign affairs responded iu a
true American spirit. I have not hesi
tated to consult freely with them about
the most confidential and delicate affairs,
nnd here fra.ikly confess my obligation
for needed co-operation. They did not
regard a pa i but firm insistence upou
American i i. and unon immunity
from Insults ,,nd injury for our citizens
nnd sailors in foreign ports as a policy of
"irritutlon and bluster."
They did not believe, as some others '
seemed to beuevo, thnt to bo a Democrat
ouo must take the foreign side of every !
International question if a Republican
Administration is conducting the Ameri
can side. I do not believe that a tamo
submission to insult und outrage by auy !
nation at the hands of another can ever !
form the basts of a lasting friendship the
necessary element of mutual respect will '
ue wautmg.

A WORD FOB THE VETERANS.
Tlio Union soldiers and sailors aro now
veterans of time ns well as of war. The
parallels of age have approached close to
tho citadels of life, and tho end, for each,
