Tue OMAHA DaiLy BEE — TWENTY—SECOND YEAR. MR.CLEVELAND'SACCEPTANCE Demceracy's Oandidate: Tssues His Long Looked for Letter, TARIFF REFORM AND NOT FREE TRADE » Positive in 1is De. 58 Platform— Grover the Great N elarations as Iis The Force Hill, Other Questions Discussed. Monetary and / New York. Sept. 26— The following is ex- President, Cieveland's letter, accepting the nomination of the national democratic con- vention 1o the presidency : Hox, Winniay L. Wiksox axn OTiers o e Commitres, Erc.: Gentlemen—In re- eponding to your formal notification of my nomination to the presidency by the national democracy, 1 hope I may be permitted to say at the outset that continued reflection and observation have confirmed mo in my adbers ence to the opinons which [ have heretofore plainly and publicly declared, touching the questions 1nvolved in the canvass. Tais 18 a time above all others when these questions should be cousidered in the light afforded by a sober apprehension of the prin- ciples upon which our government 1s based and a clear understanding of the relation it bears to the people for whose benelit it was created. We shall thus be supplied with a test by which the value of any proposition relating to the maintenance and administra- tion of our government can be ascertained, and by which the justice ana honesty of every political questiva can be judged. If doctrines or theories are presented which do not satisfy this test loyal Americanism must pronounce them false and mischievous. The protection of the people in the ex- clusive usa and enjoyment of their property aud earnings concedediy constitutes the especial purpose and wissiou of our fres government. This design is so interwoven w~ith the structure of our pian of rule that tailure to protect the citizen in such use ana enjoyment, or their unjustitiable diminution by tho government itself, is a betrayal of the people’s trust. The Tarif is o Tax. We bave, however, undertaken to builo a great nation upon & plan especially our own, To maintain it ana to furnish through its sgency the neans for the accomplishment of notional objects the Awerican peopie are willing, through federal taxation, 1o sur- render a part of Lheir earnings and income. Turill legislation presents a familiar form of federal taxation. Such lezislation results assuredly in a tax upon the daily life of our ople as the tribute paid directly into the ard of the tax gatherer, We feel the bur- den of these tarifl taxes too paipably to be pursuaded by any sophistry that they do not exist, or are paid by foreigners. Such taxes, represeniing a deminution of the property rizhts of the peopie. are only jastifinclas whon laid and collectsd for the purpose of maintaining our government and furnishiog the means for the accomplish- went of its legitimate burposes and functions. This {8 toxation under the operation of a taniff for revenue. It accords with the pro- fessions of American free institutions, and its justice aud bonesty answer the test supplied by @ correct appreciation of the principles upon which these institutions rest. T theory of tarifl legislation manifestly enjoins strict economy in public expenaitures and their limitation lo lezgitmate public uses —inasmuch as 1t exbibils as absolute extor- tion auy exaction by way of taxation from the substance of the people beyond the ueces- sities of a careful ond proper administration of government. Contrary to the Constitution, Opposed to this theory the dogina 15 now boldly presented that tarufl taxation is justi- fiable for the express purpose ana intent, of ihereby promoting special wterests and en- terprises. Such a proposition is so clearly contrary to the spirit of our constitution ana #0 directly encourages the disturbance by selfishness and greed of patriotic sentiment, that its statement would rudly shock our people if they had rot already been josidi- ously allured from the safe land marks of principle. Never tave honest desire for na- tional growth, patriotfe devotion to country, &na sincere regard for those who toil, been so betrayed to the suppori of & pernicious doctrine. In its behalf the plea that our infant industries should be fostered did service uuntil dircredited by our sialwart growth; then followed the “exigencies of a terribio war, which made our prople beedless of the op- portunities for ulterior schemes afforded by their willing and patriotic paymeut of un- precedented tribute; and Low, after a long pericd of peace, when our overburdened countrymen ask for relief aud & restoration to a fuller enjovment of thair incomes and earniugs, they are met by the claiw, that tar- ST taxation for the sake of protection is an American system, the coutinuance of which is necessury in order that high wages may e puid to our workingmen and a home mar- ket be provided for our farm products. Should Be No Longer Decelved. These pretenses should no longer deceive, Toe truth is that such a system is directly antagonized by every sentimentof justice and fairness of which Americans are pre- emiuently proud. 1tis al!so true that while our workiugmen and farmurs can, the least of all our poople, defend themselves against she narder bome life which such tariff Laxa- tion decrees, tho workingman, suffering from the importation and employment of pauper labor, instigated by his professed friends, and seeking security for nis inter- ests \n organized co-operation, still waits for a division of the advantages secured to bis employer under cover of & generous solic- itude for his wages, while the farmer is Jearoing that the prices of his products are fixea i foreign murkets, where ho suffers from a competition invited and bullt up by the system he is asked to support, ‘The struggle for unearnod advantage at he doors of the government tramples on the rights of those who patiently rely upon assurances of American equality, Eyery governmental concession Lo clamorous favor- ites vites corruption in political affairs by encouraging the expenditure of money to debauch suffrago in support of a policy divectly favorable to privatound selfish gaiu, This iu the end must strangle patriousm und weaken popular confidence in the recti- tude of republican lustitutions. Letting it Down Eusy. Thouk! the subject of tariff legisiation in- volves a question of murkets, it also iuvolves question of worals. We cannot, with im- punily, permit injustice to tunt the spirit of right and equity, which is the life of our re- public; and we shall fuil o reach our wational destiny if groed aud seltishuess lead Abhe way. Recognizing these truths, tha national de- mocracy will seck by the application of just and sound principies 1o equalize to our peo pie tho blessings due i m from the govern ment thev support, to promote among our countEywen @ closer community of iutorests, comenica by vatriotis und natlonal pride, and 1o point out 4 fair field, where prosper- ous aud diversified American enterprise way £row and thrive in the whol 10 atmos- rnum of American iudustry, ingenuity ana ntellige:ce. Tariff reform is still our purpose. Though We 0ppose Lho theory that tariff laws way be passca, haviog for their object the gravting of aiscriminating and unfair goyeruwental &id to private venlures, we wage uo exterm: ineting war agalust any American 1oterest. We believe @ readjusiment can be accou plished, In accordance with the princivies @ profess, without disaster or dbmolition. ‘We believe that the advaatages of freer raw inaterial should be ace L t0 our manu- facturers sud we contewpiate a fair and careful distribution of necessary tarlff bur- dens rather thun the precipitation of free trade, We anticipato wiih cal rescutation of ourdmotives Sligated by & sclbisbaess whi uess the misiep ud purposes, 1o dacis 10 lioid in unrelenting grasp ite usfair advaatace under present tariff laws. We will upon the intelligence of our fellow countiymen to reject the charge that & party comprising a muiority of our people is planning tne de- struction or injury of American interests and we know they canuot be (rightened by the specter of impossible free trade. That Force Bill Again. The admnistration and managemesnt of our government devend upon popular will, Fedaral power is theinstrament of that will, nuot its master. Therefo the attempt of | the oppouents of democracy to interfere with and control the suffrage of ihe states through federal agencies develops & desig which no explanation can mitigale to reverse the fundamootal and safs relations between the peopls and their government, Such an attempt cannot fall to_be regarded by faituful men as proof of a vold determina- tion to secure tho ascenduncy of a aiscred- ited party in reckiess disregard of a free ex- pression of the popular will, To resist such a scheme is an impulse of A dewmocracy. At all times aud in all places, we trust the peo- ple as against a disposition to force the way 10 federal power, and we present to them as our claim to their confidence and support a sterdy championship of their rights. The Monetary Question, The people are entitled 10 sound and honest money, abundantly suflicient in volume to supply their business needs, But whatever may be the forn of (he people’s currency, national or state—whether gold, silver or paper—it should bo so regulated and gunrded by governmentul action, or by wise anud careful laws, that no one n be deluded as to the certainly and stability of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of the people sboula be of the same intrinsic value, or purchasing power, With this condition ab solutely guaranteed, both gold and silver can ba safely utilized upon equal terms in the au- justment of our currenc; In dealing with this subject no selfish scheme should be allowed to intervene and no doubtful experiment should be attempted. Tue wants of our people, arisig from the deficiency or imperfect distribution of money circulation, ought to be fully and honestly recognized and eficiently remedied. ~ It should, however, bo constantly remembered that the iucouvenience or loss that might arise from such a situation, can be much easier borne than theuniversal aistress which must follow & discreaited currency. Civil Setvice Reform., Public oMicials are the agents of the people. 1t is therefore their duty to secure for those whom they reprosent the hest and most edi- cient performsnco of public work. This plainly can be best accomplished by regard- ing ascertained fituess in the seiection of gov- ernment emploves, These considerations alono are sufficient justification for an honest ad- herence to the lettsr and spirit of civil ser- vice reform. ‘There are, however, other features of Lhis plan which abundantly com- mend it. Through its operation worthy merit in every station and condition of Auwerican life is recognized in the distribu- tion of public employment, while its appiica- tion tends to raise the standard of political activity from spoils hunting and unthivking party afiiliotion to the advocacy of party prineiples by reason aud argument, Our Pension Laws, The American people are generous and erateful: and they have impressea these churacteristics upon their government ‘Therefore, all patriotic and just decisions must commend liverai cousideration for our worthy veteran soidiers and for vhe familics of those who have died. No complamt should be of the amount of public money paid to tuose actually disabled or made dependent by reason of army service. But our pension roll should be a roll of honor, uncontaminatea by ill desert and un- vitlated by demogogic use. This is due to those whose worthy names adorn the roll and to il our people who delight to honor tho brave and thetrue. 1t is a1so dueto those who in years to come should be allowed to bear, roverantly and lovingly, the story of American patiotism and fortitude, iilus- trated by our pension roll. The prefercnces accorded 10 veteran solidiers in public em- ployment, shouid bo securad to them honestly and without evasion, and whea capablo and worthy their clam to tne heloful regard ana gratitude of their countrymen should be un- erudgingly ackuowledged. Compulsory Education, The assurance to the people of the utmost individual liberty consistent with peace and good order is a cardinul principla of our gov- ernment. This gives no sanction to vex- atious sumptunry laws, which unnecessarily iutoefere with such bubits aud customs of our pwople s are not offensive o & just moral sinso and are wot inconsistent with good cit- itenship and the pubiic welfare. Tne same princinlo requires that tho line betweon tho subjects which are properly within govern- mental control and those which are more filingly left to parental rezulation should be carefully kept in view. An eunforced edu- cation, wiselv deemed a proper preparation for citizenship, should not iuvolve the im- pairment of wholesome parental authority nor do violerice to the household conscience. Paternalism in government finds no approvai in the creed of democracy. Itisa symptom of misrule, whetber it is manifested in unau- thorized gifts or by an unwarrauted control of personal and family affairs. Immigration, Our people, sl cherishing the feeling of buman fellowship, which belongs to our beginning as a nation, require their govern- ment to express for them thewr sympathy with all those who are oppressed, under any rule less free than ours. A generous hos- pitality, which 15 one of the most prominent of our national characteristics, prompts us to welcome the worthy and industrious of all lands to homes and citizenship among us. This hospitable sentiment is not violated, however, by careful and reasonable reguls tious for the protection of the public heaith, nor does it justify the reception of immizrants who have no appreciation of our institutions, and whose presence amoug us is a menace to peace and goed order, v Nicaraugua Canal, ‘The importance of the coustruction of the Nicarauguu ship caual as & means of pro- moting commerce between Our states and with foreign countries, and also as u contri- bution by Americans to the enterprises whict advance tie interest of tie world of civilizu- tion, commend the project to governmental approval aud endorsement. The World's Fair, Our countrymen uot only expeet from those who represent them in public places a sedu- lous care for things which are directly aud palpably related 1o their material wterests, Bh’they also fully appreciate the vaiue: of cultivating our national price aad maintain- ing our national bonor.

LexiNtox, Neb, Sept. 26 —|Spacial Tele- gram to Tur Bee.|—The Whitehead-Kem debate has come aud gone, Over 2,000 people listened to the debate, Republican enthusi- asm was strictly in the ascendancy. Goth- enburg, Cozad aud Overtou were represented by largo delegations. Mr. KKem opened in a one hour talk. About fiftesn minutes was devoted to a general talk. The balance of his first hour was used principally to defend his record 1n congress. His attempte to ex- plain bis connection with the gas corpora- tion bill were uusatisfactory. He made the statemeat that a white man of Nebraska was 10 & Worse condition than the negroslave had ever been. Mr. Whitehead followed in an hour and a quarter talk pouring hot shot 1nto the peo- ple's party gonerally and Kem particularly. He cited the fact to the audience that the m- dependent platterm contained no plank reiu- tive to peasions, giving as a reasoa therefor that they wanted the southern vote and in this connection referred 1o Weaver's recep- tion in the south. Heovroughtibe fact before the audience of Kem’s refusal to vote for pension appropriations, He reviswea the financial situation in an able manuer and also produced a letter from Mr. Pickler that con- tradicted Mr. Keu’s former explanation of his vote on the Pickler bill. It was a mas- terly effort on the part of Mr. Whitehead and it was alwost impossible to hold the eathusiasin manifested dur- ing bis speech in coeck. At the close of Mr. Whitehead’s speech a formor indep=ndent came forward and denouncea Mr. Kem and his congressional actious. As soon as order was restored Mr. Kem closed i a tifteen- minate talk. It was quite evident that he was embarrassed, and the ouly explunation ne offered was practically that he would do better if Lo was returued to congress.
