89. MX. To Hon. John M- Thuraton and Others. Members of tha Notification Committee of the Republican National Convention Gentlemen: In pur.

aua nee to the promise made to your com. roll tee when notified of my nomination as the Republican candidate for President. I Yg to submit this formal acceptance of that high honor, and to consider in detail questions at issue In the pending campaign. Perhaps this might bo considered unneces sary invlewcfmyrcmarkxonihat ooa I a. and those I hare made to delegations that liave visited mo since the Bu Louis convention, but in view of the momentous Importance of tha proper settlement of the (awes presented on our future proapertty and standing a a nation, and consider ing only the welfare and happiness of the people.

1 could not no content to omit train calling attention to tha questions winch, in my opinion, vitally affect our srrengin and poaition among tne govern, mtrta of the world, and our morality. In- fffrity and patriotism as clttseas of that republic which for a century paat has been the beat hoj of the world and the Inspiration of mankind. We must not now prove false to our own high standards in government, nor unmlndrul or the noble example and wis precepts of the fathers. or of the confidence and trust which our conduct In the past haa always inspired, see THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER. For the first time slnco lSGt.

if ever be fore, there is presented to tne American "people this year a clear and direct Issue aa to our monetary system, of vast Im-. itortanco In Its effects, and upon the right settlement of which rests the financial honor and prosperity of the country. It Is proposed by one wing of the Democratic party, and Its allies, the I'eople's and Silver parties, to Inaugurate the free and unlimited coinage of stiver ry Independent action' on the part of the 1 nlted States at a ratio of sixteen ounces or silver to one ounce of gold. The-mere claratlon of thla purpoae la a menace to our financial and Industrial lntereatn, and has already created universal alarm. It Involves great peril to the credit and buai-tteos of the country, a peril so grave that conservative men everywhere are break ing away from their old party associations aad uniting with other patriotic eltl-ena la emphatic protest againat the platform of the Zemocratlc National Conven tion aa an assault unon the faith and lionor of the Governanent and the welfsra of the people, have had few questions in the life-time of the republic more seti- tnu than the one which is thus presented.

see NO BENEFIT TO LABOR. The character of- the money which shall measure our values and exchangee and nettle our balances with one another, and with the nations of the world, la of such primary Importance, and so far-reaching In Its consequences, as to call for the most pains-taxing Investigation, and. In the end. a sober and unprejudiced Judgment at the polls. We must not be misled by phrases.

nor deluded by false theories. Free allver would not mean that stiver dollars were to bo freely bad without cost or labor. It would mean the free us of the mints of the united states tor tne lew who are owners of stiver bullion, but would make Sliver coin no freer to the many who are engaged in other enterprises, it would not make labor eaaier, the hours of labor shorter, or the pay better. It would not tart a factory, or make a demand for aa additional day's labor. It would create no new occupations.

It would add nothing to tne comiort oi tne masses, tne cai4- tal ef the people, or the wealth of the vatlon. It seeka to Introduce a new meaa- trre of value, but would add no value to I the thing measured. It would not conserve valuea. On the contrary. It would derange kil existing values.

It would not restore ttualneas confidence, but It a direct eCect would be to destroy the little which yet remains. a WHAT IT The meaning of the coinage plank adopt- iatf at Chicago Is that any one who may take a quantity of silver bullion now worth Hfty-three cents to the mints of the United States, have It coined at the expense of the Government and receive for it a stiver dollar which shsll be legal tender for th payment of ail debts, public and prl- The owner of the silver bullion would get the silver dollar. It would belong to lia and to nobody elae. other people would get It only by their labor, the product, of 'their land, or something of value. The bullion owner, on the baala of the present values, would receive the allver dollar for nf.

Which are maintained by the Government at parity with gold and are a full-legal tender for the payment of all debts, public private. How are the silver dollars In use different from thoae which vwould be In uao under free coinage. They are to be of the same weight and Itneneas; they are to bear the. stamp of the Government. Why wouli they not be of the same valuer answer: The silver dollars now in use were coin- 1 ed on account of the Governmen nt and not I for private ecceunt or gain, the Govern.

men I has solemnly agreed to keep them as good as the beat dollar we have. The Government bought the bullion at Its rcsrket value and coined it Into silver dollars. Having exclusive control of the mintage. It only coin what It can hold at a parity with gold. The profits, repreaent-tiu the difference between the commercial of the ailver bunion and the face si-ie of the allver dollar, goes to the Oov-i anient for the benefit of the people.

The government bought the sliver bullion con-tsilned In the silver dollar at very much less than Its coinage value. It paid it out to Ita creditors, and put It In circulation among the people at Its face value of luu cents, or a full dollar. It required the Iwopie to accept it aa a legal tender, and a thus morally bound to maintain It at a errty with gold, which waa then, aa now, the recognised standard with us and the moat enlightened nation of the world. The Government hsvlng issued and ctrcu- atrri in s.lver dollar. It must in Honor protect the hoHfr front loss.

This obligation It baa so far MKllf kept. Not only ia there a moral obi'gatton. but there ia a legal obligation expressed la public statute, to ma.aitn the parity. THEY COULD NOT B2 KEPT AT PAR. These dollars.

In the particulars I have named, are not tha same a the dollar I which eoiiM ha Issued under free coinage. Tlx wmilit ha id. aama la fnm. hnt rlif- ferent In value. Tha Government would have no part In the transactions, except to coin the silver bullion Into dollars.

It would share In no part of tha profit. It would take unon Itself no obligation. It would not put the dollars Into circulation. It could onlv ret them as any cftlsea would set them, by giving something; for them. Jt would deliver them to tnoae wm oVpoaHed the allver, and Its connection with the transaction there end.

Such are the silver dollara which would be laaued under free coinage of allver at the ratio ef 11 to 1. Who would then maintain the parity? What would keep tnem at par atth sold? There would be no obligation Mtinr unon in Government to do lu ana. If tilers were. It would be powerless to do U. The simple truth is we wouki i ana to a silver basis to sliver monometallism.

These dollars, therefore, would stand opon their real value. If the free aad unlimited coinage of allver at a ratio of 14 ounces of a Iver to 1 ounce of gold, ss some of Its advocates assert, make fifty-three seats sliver worth one hundred cents, and the sliver dollar equal to the sold dollar. then we would have no cheaper money than now. and it would be no eaaler to get. Hut that such would be the result is aa-ainat reason and Is contradicted by es-perience In alt times and in all lands.

It means the debasement of our currency to the amount of the difference between the commercial and coin value of the silver dliar, which Is ever changing, and the effect would be to reduce property values. entail untold financial loae and deacroy conlldence, impair the obligation, or axial-Ins; contracts, further Impovenah the la borer and producer of the country, create a panic of unparalleled severity and inflict upon trade ana commerce a aeaciy blow. Ae-alnet any suck policy 1 am unalterably oppoeeo. BIMETALLISM. Bimetallism can not be secured by In dependent action on our part.

It can not be obtained by opening our mints to the unlimited coinage of the silver of the world, at a ratio of sixteen ounces of sil ver to one ounce of gold, when tne com mercial ratio Is more than thirty ounces of allver to one ounce of gold. Mexico and China have tried the experiment. Mexico has free coinage of allver and gold at a ratio slightly la excess of sixteen and one-half ounces of silver to one ounce of gold, and while ber mints are freely open to botn metais at tnat ratio, not ingle dollar in gold bullion Is coined aad circulated as money. Gold has been driven out ef circulation In these countries and they are on a silver basis alone. Until International agreement had.

it kt the plain duty of the L' nlted States to main tain the gold standard, it is tne recog nised and sole standard of the great com mercial nations of the world, with which we trade more largely than any other. Klghty-tfoar per cent, of our foreign trade for the nscal year was with gold- standard countries and our trade with, other countries was settled on a gold ba sis. see WE NOW NAVE MORE SILVER THAN SOLA. Chiefly by means of legislation during and since I87S there has been put ta cir culation more than eG24.000.000 of allver. or its representative.

This has been done la the honest effort to give sliver, if possi ble, the same bullion and coinage value. and encourage the concurrent ase of both gold and sUver as money. Prior ta that that time there had been less than nine millions of silver dollars coined In the entire history of the United States. period of eighty-nine years. This legisla tion secures the largest use of silver con sistent with financial safety and the pledge to maintain Its parity with gold.

we have tu-day more silver man gold. This has been accomplished st times with grave i-ertl to the nubile credit. The i tailed 6hertnaa law souKht to use all the silver uroduct of the I nlted Mates for moneys at Its market value. From lvO to the Government purchased 4.f),u ounces of silver a montn or ounces a year. This was one-third oc the product of the world and practically all of th la country's product.

It waa believed tv those wno men ana now lavor tree coinage that such use of silver would ad vance Its bullion value to its coinage value, but this expectation was not realised. In a few months, notwithstanding the unprecedented soarket for the ailver produced in tne united mates tne price ox silver went down very rapidly, reaching lower point than ever before. Then. upon the recommendation of President Cleveland both political parties united In the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. We can not with safety engage In further experiments ta that direction.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD. On the Sd of August. 1891, In a pubilo ad- dress. I said: "If we could have an Inter national ratio which all the leading na tions of the world would adopt and the true relation be fixed between tha two metals, and all agree upon tha quantity of silver which should constitute a dollar, then silver would be as free and unlimited la Its privileges ef coinage aa gold la to-day. But that we have not been able to secure, and with the free and unlimit ed coinage of silver adopted in the United Btatee at the present ratio, we would be till further removed from any International agreement.

We may never be able to secure It It we enter upoa the isolated coinage of silver. The double standard im- 11 is euuailty at a ratio, and that euuauir can only be established by the concurrent law of nations. It was the concurrent law of nations that made the double standard: It will require the concurrent law of na tions to reinstate and sustain It. Tb Republican party has not been, and Is not now. opposed to the use of silver money, as Its record abundantly shows.

It has done all that could be done for Its In creased use, with safety and honor by the t'nlted txatea. acting apart from other Governments. There are those who think that It has already gone beyond the limit of financial prudence. Surely we can ge no further, and we must not permit false- lights to lure us across the danger line. see MORE THAN ANT OTHER COUNTRY.

On method of preserving it la to use It aa sparingly as possible: avoiding tha accu- lulatioai of debt, not only by shunning oc casions of expense, bat by vigorous exer tions In time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden whven we our selves oucm to near. lacurcace me enforcement of the maxima which he an nounced, he declared: "It la essential that you should practically bear In mind that toward the payment of debts there must be revenue, that to have revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised which are not more or lees incon venient or unpleasant; that the tntrtnsio embarrassment tnseparebte from the i lection of the proper objects, which Is al ways av choice of difficulties, ought to be a decisive motive tor a canoia construction the conduct of the Government In mak ing It; and for a spirit or acquiescence in the raeesurea for obtaining revenue which the public exigencies may at any time dlo- tata."

It waa able and exhaustive review of tha condition and resources of the country. stated our situation so accurately that ant aura It will not bo amiss to recite hla official and valuable testimony.

"There never haa been a time In our history. said he, when work was so abundant or when wages were, so high, whether measured the currency In which they are paid or therr power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.

Of the fort cotton mills, twenty-one have been built In the Southern Statea" This fairly describes the happv condition the country In December. What haa It been since, and what ia It now? -see OUR CONDITION EIGHT MONTHS LATER.

The messages of President Cleveland from tha beginning of his second Admin istration to the present time, abound with descriptions ef tha deplorable Industrial ana nnaacuu situation of the countrv While no resort to history or official state ment Is required to advise ua of the pres ent condition, and that which has prevail during the past three years. I venture quote rrora president Cleveland's first message. August 1SS3, addressed to the Forty-third Congress, which he had called together In extraordinary session: "The existence of an alarming aad extraordinary business situation, said hu. iv LOUISVILLE, volvtng the welfare and prosperity of all our people, has constrained ta call together In extra sernton the people's representatives In Congress, to the end. that through the wise and patriotic exercise ef the legislative duties with which they solely are charged, the present may be mitigated and dangera threatening the future tney be averted.

Our unfortunate financial plight la not the result of untoward events, nor of conditions related to our natural resources. Nor la It traceable to any of the afflictions which frequently check national growth and prosperity. With plenteous crops, with abundant promise of remunerative production and manufacture, with unusual Invitation to aafe Investment and with satisfactory as-sursnces to buainess enterprise, suddenly financial distrust snd fesr have sprung ot en every side. Numerous moneyed Institutions have suspended, because abundant a ts were not immediately available to meet the demands ef frightened deposit ors. Surviving corporations and Individuals are content to keep in hand the they are usually anxious to loan, and thoae engaged In legitimate business are surprised to find that the securities they offer for loans, though heretofore satisfactory, are no longer accepted.

Values supposed to be fixed arc fast becoming conjectural, and loss snd failure have invaded every branch of business." THE CAUSE OF THE CHANGE. what a gtartllng and sudden change within the short period of eight months. from December, ISS2. to August, 1833? What bad occurred A change of Admin istration, all branches of the Government had been Intrusted to the Democratic party, which waa committed against the protective policy that had prevailed ua Interruptedly for more than thirty-two years and brought unexampled prosperity to tne country, and firmly pledged to Its complete overthrow and the rubatltutlon of a tariff for revenue only. The change having been decreed by the elections in November.

Irs effects were at once antlci. paled and reit. we can not close our eyes to these altered conditions, nor would it no wise to exclude irora contemplation and Investigation the causes which produced them. They are facts which we can not a people disregard, and we can onlv hope to improve our present condition hv a study of their causes. In December, we had the same currency and nracti.

cally the same volume of currency that we have now. It aggregated In 1XS2, $2.372,. 69.301; In 1W3. In 1S4. and In December.

1S35. The per capita of money, too. has been practically the same during this whole period. The quality of the money has been identical all kept equal to gold. There Is nothing connected with our money, tnerefore.

to account for this sudden and aggravated industrial change. Whatever la to be deprecated In our financial sys tem, it must everywhere be admitted that our money has been absolutely good and has brought neither loss nor Inconvenience to Its holders. A depreciated currency has not existed to further vex the troubled business situation. see. C00D MONET NEVER MADE TIMES HARD.

It Is a mere pretence to attribute the hard times to the fact that all our cur rency la on a gold basis. Good money never made times hard. Those who as sert that our present financial and Industrial depresrtoa Is the result of the gold standard have not read-American history aright, ee been careful students of the events of recent years. We never had greater prosperity la this country, ta every Held of employment and Industry, than In the busy years from 1890 to during all of which time this country was on a gold basis, and employed mors gold money In Its fiscal and business operations thaa ever before. We had.

too. a protective tariff, under which ample revenues were collected for the Government and an accumulating surplus, which was constantly applied to the payment of the publio debt. Let ua hold fast to that wfjeta we know is good, it is not more money we want; what we want la to put the money we aireaay nave at worn. WDen money Is employed, men are employed. Both have always been steadily and remuneratively engaged during all the years of protective tan it legislation.

When those who have money lack confidence In the stability of values am) Investments, they. will not part witn tneir money. Ruslness Is stagnated the' life-blood of trade is checked and congealed. We can not restore public confidence by sn set which would revolutionise sll values, or sn a i which entails -a deficiency in vublic rev nues. We can not Inspire coiifl lence advocating repudiation or practicing ln honesty, a can not restore confidence either ta the Treasury or to the people without a change In our.

present tarirr egisuuion, THE TARIFF OF 1894. The only measure of a general nature that affected the Treasury and the em ployments of our people passed by the Fifty-third Congress wag the general tariff act. which did not receive the approval of the President. Whatever virtues may be claimed for that act, there Is confess edly one which It does not possess. It lacks the essential virtue of its creation the raising of revenue sufficient to supply the needs of the Government.

It has at ao time provided enough revenue for aix-h needs, but It has caused a constant deficiency in the Treasury, and a steady de- rieuon ot tne earnings or tabor and land, has contributed to swell our national debt more thaa t2C3.000.0uo. a sum nearly as great as the debt of the Government from Wsshlngton to Lincoln. Includlnar ail the foreign wars from the revolution to the rebellion, since its passage, work at home haa been diminished: prices of agri cultural products have fallen; confidence has been arrested, and general business demoralisation Is seen on every hand- see THE TARIFFS OF 1890 AND 1894 CON TRASTED.

Our foreign trade has been diminished, and our domegtio trade has suffered incalculable loss. Does not this suggest th cause of our present depression, and indicate its remedy Confidence In horn enterprises haa elmoat wholly dhmppeared. Our shops are closed, or running on half time and at reduce wages aad small profits.

Our farmers have been hurt by the changes ln our tariff legislation aa se verely aa our laborers aad manufacturers, badly aa they have suffered. Tha Republican nlatform wisely declares In favor of such encouragement to our sugar interests "as will lead to the production on Amer ican soil of all the sugar which the American people use."

RECIPROCITY.

Another declaration of the Republican platform that has my most cordial sup port Is that which favors reciprocity, in. splendid results of the reciprocity arrange ments that were made under autnonry oc the tariff law of ISM are striking and sug gestive. The brief period they were in force. In most cases only three years, was not lonr enough to thoroughly test their great value, but sufficient was Shown oy the trial to conclusively demonstrate the Importance and the wisdom of their adop tion. In 1SDJ th export trade oc tne United States attained th highest point In our history.

The aggregate of our ex- rjorta that vear reached the Immense sum of a sum greater by tlOS.UUU.- 000 thaa the exports or any previous rear. In lsaa. owing to the threat of unfriendly tariff legislation, the total dropped to JS47.6ri6.lH4. Our exports of domestic mer chandise decreased lia.ouo,J, out reciprocity still secured ua a large trade In Central and South America, and a larger trade with the West Indies thaa we had ever before enjoyed. ne increase ox trade with th countries witn wnicn we had radnrocitv agreements was M.aoO.alS over our trade of 11 and tl4.440.721.

Th reciprocity treaty be tween this country and Bpain. toucnin-tha markets of Cuba and Porto Rico was announced September lfL The growth of our trade with Cuba was poenomenai. In l91 we sold that country out U4.u barrels of flour: in lsli2, 36.175; In lstf.

t20.125.321; but in after the annulment of the re ciprocity agreement, it, fell to only Many similar examples mignt given to our Increased trade under reciprocity with other countries, but enough has been shown of the efficacy of the legislation of to Justify the speedy resto ration -of- its reciprocity provisions, in my judgment Congress should immedi ately restore the reciprocity section ef the old law with such amendments, if any. as lime and experience sanction as wise and proper. The underlying principle of this legislation must, however, be strictly observed. It is to afford new. markets for our surplus agricultural and manufactured products, without loss to th Americas laborer of a single day's work that he might otherwise procure, a FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

-Tha declaration of the platform touching foreign Immigration is on of peculiar importance at thla time, while our own laboring people are in such great distress. I am in hearty sympathy with the present legislation restricting foreign Immigration. and favor such extension of th law as will secur th United State from Inva sion by the debased and criminal classes of the Old World. While adhere to the publio policy under which our country has received great bodle of honest. In dustrious citlsena, who have added to th wealth, progress and power of th country.

and wniio we welcome to our shores the well disposed and Industrious Immigrant who contributes by his energy and intelli gence to tue cause oc ire government, we want no immigrants who do not seek our shore to become citixeoa, should permit none to in th advantage of our civilisation who do not arm- pathlse with our alms and form of gov ernment, snouid receive none who com to make war upoa our Institutions and profit by public disquiet and turmoil. Against all such our gate must be tight ly closed. see OUR SOLDIERS AND SAliORS. The soldiers and sailors of tha Union should neither be neglected nor The Government which they served so well must not make their live or condition harder by treating them as suppliants for relief old ago or distress, nor regard with disdain or contempt the earnest in terest one comrade naturally manifests In the welfare of another. Doubtless ther has been pension abuse and frauds in th numerous claim allowed by th Government, but the policy governing the ad ministration of the Pension Bureau must always fair and liberal.

No deaervlna- appltcant ahould ever suffer because of a wrong perpetrated by or for another. Our soldiers and sailors gave th Govern ment the beet they had. freely offer ed health, strength, limb and life to save th country in lime of Its greatest DeriL and the Government must honor them In their need, aa In their service- with tha respect and gratitude due to brave, nobl anal self-sacriricing men who ar justly entitled to generous aid In their increasing necessities. a MERCHANT MARINE AND NAVT. Th declaration or tie Republican platform In favor of the upbuilding of our merchant marine has my hearty approv al.

Th policy of discriminating duties In favor of our shipping which prevailed ia the early years of our history should be again adopted by Congress and vigorously supported until our prestige and supremacy on the seas is fully attained. We should no longer contribute directly or indirectly to the maintenance of the co lossal marine 01 foreign countries, but pro vide an efficient and complete marine of our own. ao tnat tne American navy ia assuming a position commensurate with our importance as a nation, a policy I am glad to observe the Republican platform strongly Indorses, we must supplement It wuh a merchant marine that will give us the advantages In both our coastwise and foreign trade that we ought naturally and properly to enjoy. It ahould be at once a matter ef public policy and na tional pride to repossess this Immense and prosperous trade. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM, The pledge of the Republican National Convention that our civil service laws "shall be sustained and thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable," Is In keeji.f with the pvsl- AUGUST 27, Uon of the party for the past twenty-four years and will be faithfully observed.

Our opponents decry these reforms. They ap I pear willing to abandon kll the advantages gained after so many years agitation and effort. They encourage a return to methods of Darty favoritism, which both MMiM h-pm i ft An il.nminoMl that eX- perlence has condemned, and that the people have repeatedly dl-approved.

It will seek to Improve, but never degrade the publio service, see DEMANDS ESPECIAL ATTENTION. There are other Important and timely declarations In the platform which I can not here discuss. must content myself with saying that they have my approval. If. as Republicans, we have lately address ed our attention with what may seem great stress and earnestness to the new and unexpected assault upon the financial Integrity of the Government, we have done it because the menace ie so grave as to demand especial consideration, and because we are convinced that if the people are aroused to the true understanding and meaning of this silver Inflation movement they will avert the danger, in doing tnia we feel that we render the best service possible to the country and we appeal to the intelligence, conscience and patriotism of the people.

Irrespective of party or section, tor tneir earnest support. see IT WILL MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER, We avoid no Issues. We meet the sud den, dangerous aad revolutionary assault upon law and order, and upon those to whom la confided by the Constitution and laws the authority to uphold and main tain them. which our opponents have made. with the same courage that have faced every emergency since our organisation as a party, more than forty years ago.

Government by law must first be assured: everything else can wait. Tne spirit oc lawlessness must extinguished by tne fires of an unselfish and lofty patriotism. cjvery attack upon the public raitn and every suggestion of the of debts, public or private, must be rebuked by all men who believe that honesty Is the best policy, or who love their country and would preserve unsullied Its national nonor. SECTIONALISM ALMOST OBLITERATED. The country ia to be congratulated upon the almost total obliteration of the sec tional lines which for many years marked the division of the United States into slave and free territory and finally threatened Its partition Into two separate Govern ments by th dread ordeal of civil war.

The era of reconciliation, so long and eai eetly desired by Gen. Grant and many other great leaders. North and South, haa happily come, and th feeling of distrust and hostility between the sections Is ev erywhere vanishing, let ua hope, never to return. Nothing ts better calculated to give strengtn to th nation at noma. Increase our power and Influence abroad and add to the permanency and security oc our tree Institutions, than the restoration of cor dial relations between tne people ot ail sections and parts of our beloved country.

If called by the suffrages of the people to assume the duties of th hlgn ocuoe of President of the United States. I shall count It a privilege to aid. even in the slightest degree. In the promotion of the spirit of fraternal regard, whtcn should an imate and govern the citixen or every section. State or part of the republic Aft er the lapse of a century since Its ut terance, let us.

It shall be my constant aim to Improve every opportunity to advance the cause of good government by promoting that spirit of forbearance and justice which is so essential to our prosperity and happiness by joining most heartily In all proper ef fort to restore the relations of brotherly respect and affection which In our early history characterised ail the people of all the States. I would be glad to contribute toward binding In Indivisible union the different divisions of the country, which.
