any sign of the disease are still kept on

raging alongside of them.

not see that these evils will be ameliorated
by a tariff policy the first necessary effect of

large iliniinuntioii of the ncgrecato

If the inlnstice of the employer tempts the
workman to strike back, be should be verv
sure I bat bis blow does not fall upon his
own bend, or upon hi' wife mid children.
The workmen in our great Industries nre. ns
a body, remarkably intelligent, nnd nre
lovers of home and country. I hev may oe

settle the tariff contest in the calm light of
their firesides, and with tlie sole reference
to the prosperity of the country of which
they are citizens and of the homes they
have founded for their wives nnd children.
No Intelligent inlvocnte of a protective tariff
claims thnt it Is able, of itself, to maintain
a uniform rule of wages, w ithout regard to

tend to hold up wages and are the only

(Mi the question of election Inws, he says:
"Mntiv times I have had occasions to snv
thnt Inws and election methods, designed
to give unfair advantages to the party mak
ing them, wotmi some time ne useu to por
ivetuate in power a faction of n party against
tlie will of the majority of the people. (If
this we stem to nave an illustration in tne
recent state election ill Alabama. There
was no liepuhlican ill the field. The con
test was between white Democrats. Tlie
Kolb tmrtv snv the were refused rcprecn-
tiition guaranteed by law upon the election
board, nnd that w hen the courts by manda
mus attempted to right tills wrong, nn nt-
p nl that could not lie heard until utter- tin
election mailt! tlie writs ineffectual. Hnllot
boxes were thrown out for alleged irregii'
lnnties or destroyed: and it is nwerteil on
behalf of one-half, at least, of tho white
voters of Alabama that the officers to whom
certificates have been given were not hon
estly elected.
"These new political movements In the
stntes una t lie recent oecisions ot some oi
the state courts against unfair apportion
merit laws encourage the hope that parti
san election laws and practices which nave
prevailed may lie correi ten ny tne stntes,
the law made eiitinl and non-iartisnii and
the election free and honest. The Repub
lican nnrtv would reduce nt suce it solution.
ns a healthy and patriotic local sentiment is
the oest nssuratice ol iree aim nonest eiec
lions. I shall again urge congress that pro
vision be made for the appointment of i
nnn-partisnii commission to consider the
subject of apportionments and elections in
their relation to the choice of federal
olllcerj.''
INJAMIlf BARRlBOrT. --
The President evidently hnd In mind the
disturbances at Ilomesteud and Huffulo
and In Tennessee when he wtole the fol
lowing: "1 have used every suitable occasion to
urge upon the people of nil sections the
consideration thnt no good cau-e can he pro
moted njion the lines of lawlessness. Mobs
do not discriminate, and the punishments
indicted by them have no lepressive or
salutary influence. On the contrary, they
begtt revenges and perpetuate feuds. It is
especially tlie duty of tne educated and in
lluentiiil to see that the weak and ignorant,
when accused of crime, are fairly tried be
fore lawful tribunals. The moral senti
ment of the country should be aroused nnd
brought to bear for the suppression of tin se
offenses against the law and social order.
The necessity for a careful discrimination
among the emigrants seeking our shores be
comes every day more apparent. We do not
want and should not receive those who, by
reason of bad character or habits, are not
wanted at home."
The letter is lengthy, but Its salient points
may be indicated in a brief analysis.
The question of a national currency is
first taken up and the solidity of the Re
publican plea for national bank notes back
ed by the credit of the I'nitcd States is lum
inously contrasted with the Democratic idea
of a return to the old system of State bank
issues, which was once before weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
The fostering of American shipp'nir in
dustries is treated as a matter of the first
j importance and the President luys stcial
stnss on the fact that already, under the
a subsidy luw enacted bv the last congress,
the ship building industry, as well us the
carrying trade, has received a great Im
petus. Mr. lilalne is duly credited with the suc
cess of the reciprocity plan, to demonstrate
wlrcli ample facts and figures are cited.
The protectionist p licy is oumiuurUed in
this paragraph :
"The material advantages of our protect
ive tariff and the reciprocity policy make it
possible for us to have a large participation
In the "markets of the world without open
ing our own to a competition that would
destroy the comfort and independence of
our people."
The President's position on the silver
question lias already been so frequently and
so forcibly stated by him as to render the
present repetition of Ills views as a bimetal
list of nu special interest.
The letter concludes with a brief defense
of the foreign policy of tlie administration,
a few good words for veteran soldiers and
eailors and a general expression of thankful
uess for the prosperity of the nation.
