WILLIAMS GROWS IRONICAL. Williams pleased his hearers im- | mensely. The Mississippian laid down to Davis ironically rules of conduct to govern his officlal career, each rule | based on some characteristic of the | opposition. He said in part: ! Mr. Davis—Sir: We have been appointed | by a mos: notable copvention ‘as a committee to notity you of your nomination by the De- | mocracy s its cholce for Vice President of the United States. We desire to express the | sure we feel in hav been selected to y and our confidence in you, ess, honesty and wisdom.

We ought have encouraged Interstate trade by stop- ping it as much as possible, thus pursuing in that regard the enlightened policy which pre- vails in_regard to our international trade. How in the world it has happened (though I confess it @id happen) that during colonial times, where there were no custom-houses be- tween the several colonies and when all the products of Great Britain had free access to our markets, our laborers yet worked at wages very much higher than those which then prevailed in Great Britain, I cannot un derstand. How it has happened, since we be- came @ Federal nation, the comparatively paupér negro labor of Central Mississippl has not been able to run _the high-priced white lakor of Central New York out of the farm- ing_business, I also cannot understand. Nor can 1 upderstand how it is that wages in California should have been for years two or three times what they were in Maryland although the products of the comparatively pauper labor of Maryland had free access to California, and aithough that comparatively pauper labor itself was secured by the con- stitution itself in the privilege of migration to and sojourn in California. Stranger yet, the pauper labor of all Eu- rope was daily flocking both to Maryland and fornta. 1 again do not understand—I doubt even If Uncle Joe Cannon himself can fully understand—these foolish facts. STATUTE IS MISSING. We know that the reason why labor was more highly paid, even in colonial times, in America, than the same labor for the same work as paid in Great Britain, must have been the existence of some sort of ‘‘protective’ legislation, keeping out of America the pauper labor and the products of the pauper labor, of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It is true that we have not thus far found the law upon the statute books, and we are told by ignorant historians that- there was no such legislation, but whether that sort of legls- lation has been yet found or not, it must have existed, because superior wages and the prosperity of the workingman must be had, and can only be had by force of a policy of legislative protectionism. The lost statute will be found after awhile—never fear, sir— because the theory cannot be sustained in any other way, and the theory, as our Re- publican friends tell us, is “‘our fixed national {nl{ry " hence to doubt it wotld be dis- oyalt. A wise man entertains a sovereign con- tempt for = great many sorts of errors, but the sovereignist of all should be visited on the designing idiot who says that the price of labor depends upon the amount of work to be done in a country and the number of men capable and desirous of Woing it—in a word, on demand for or suppl- of labor. That particular sort of pecullarly inspired idiot attempts to explain that the high wages which were paid in California and all the new States for those employed on farm, in store, mine of forest. In comparison with the wages paid in older States, which were without free lands and with comparative abundance of laborers, is to be mccounted for by the com- parative searcity of workingmen and the com- ferative abundance of new work in the new ates, The same featherlges biped—we cannot be o0 severe on him, sir—tarries his explanation further and tells you that the superfority of our wage rate In colonial times and always #ince then, over that existing in Great Britain and on the continent, was due to this same fact, viz. paueity of workingmen and abund- ance of work.

RESPONSE OF THE NOMINEE. The response of Davis was as fol- lows: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the com- mittee: The officlal notification which you bring of my nomination for the Vice Presi- dency of the United States by the national De- mocracy gives me a feeling of sincerest grati- tude to my party for the honor conferred. At the same time it brings to me a deep sense of my responsibllity to my party as a candidate and to my country, in case of my election. A spirit of determination to succeed in the campaign before us appears to pervade the rank and file of our party in all sections of the country. Of that rank and flls I have for many years been a member and have .at all times devoted my humble powers to party success, belleving that success to be for the country’s good. Unexpectedly called as I am now to the forefront, I am impelled to an acceptance of the obligation by a sense of gratitude to my fellow workers and the hope that I may be able the better to assist In re- storing to power that party whose principles and past history guarantee a safe, wise, ecnom- ical and constitutional administration of the Government. 1 find it. therefore, a great pleasurs, stand- ing here upon the borderland of the two Vir- ginlas, to receive and accept the commission you bear and to send greetings through you to the Democracy of the entire country. Is it not significant of a closer and truer broth- erhood among us that for the first time since the civil war a nominee on the national ticket has been taken from trat section of our coun- try that lies south of Mason and Dixon's line, a happy recognition of the obliteration of all sectional differences which led to and followed that unhappy struggle? FOR THE GOLD STANDARD. As an introductory to the few remarks I ehall make, I desire to say that I heartily indorse the platform upon which I have been nominated, and, with the convention and its nominee for President, regard the present mon- etary stondard of value as irrevocably es- tablished. In the campaign preceding the last elec- tion much stress was laid by the Republican speakers upon the prosperous condition of the country and forebodings were heard of the ill results. especially to the laboring man, which would follow any change in the po- litical complexion of the Government. It fs true that the times then were good, but it i no less & fact that while there has been no change In the party in' power many of the Qv:l. prophesied have come under Republican rule. Four years ago factorfes, mills, mines and furnaces were in active operation, unable to supply the demand, but now many are closed | tor lin | of acceptance saiq that they know what th | Clevelana and Blain STORM CAUSES GREAT DAMAGE ' Floods That Have Held Ton- opah in Isolation for Some Days at Last Disappears RATLROADS PARALYZED Much Track Is Washed Away and Some Time Will Elapse Before Traffic Is Resumed Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Nev., Aug. 17.—To-night for the first time in five days the storm that has raged at Tonopah and the en- tire Bonanza- distriet subsided, and the end seems in sight. Four thousand feet of railroad track, extending over a distance of thirty-miles on the Tonopah Railroad, areswashed out and every man that it is possible to hire is now at work to repair it and have the trains carry the hundreds of passengers now waiting at the junction towns to their destinations. At Hawthorne, Mound House and Sodaville it is almost impossible to get accommodations. From Tonopah comes the announcement that the cat- tle and horses in the town are plentiful, As a result prices are climbing up. Since last Friday a train has not en- tered or left the camp, and all roads are washed out. It will be Friday at least before the line of communication will be opened, and even this promise is based upon the provision that the storm, which subsided this evening, will pass over. B * and those that are open are being operated with reduced forces on short hours. Then wazes were high, labor was scarce and there was work for all. Now work is scarce, man; wage earners unemployed and wages reduced. he apprehension which now prevalls in busi- ness circles and the present unsatisfactory industrial conditions of the country seem to demand a political change. In the language of our platform, *‘the rights of lebor are certainly no less vested, no less sacred and no less inallenable than the rights of capital.” phasize the truth of this utterance. The most sacred right of property is the right to posses and own one's self and th: labor of one's own hands, capital itself being but stored up labor. For years I worked in the ranks as a wage earner and I know what it is to earn my liv: ing by the eweat of my brow. 1 have alwa; belleved, and my convictions come from the hard echool of experience, that, measured by the character of work he does and the cost of livinz, a man is entitled to full compensation is services. My experience as a wage earner and my as- sociation with labor have altke taught me the value of Democratic principles, for in them the humblest has the strongest security for individual right and the highest stim- ulus to that Independence of spirit and love of self-hely which produce the finest private characters and forf the base of the best pos- sible government. DEFICIT IN THE TREASURY. The receipts of the Government for the year ending June 30, 1902, showed a su plus over expenditures of $91,000,000, but for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1004, instead of a surplus there was a deficit of $41,000,000. From July 1, 1904, to August 10, or for about a month and a third of the present flacal T, the expenditures of the Government have exceeded the receipts by $21,- ,000. There could be no stronger evidence the extravagance into which the Republican nt argument in behalf of a change to the party whose tenets have always embraced prudence and economy in administering the people's affa Our Republican friends are prone to to the great commercial growth of the cou; try under their rule, and yet the census reports show that from 1850 to 1860, under Democrat rule and the Walker tariff,’ the percentage of increase was greater in population, wealth and manufactures and railroad mileage, the factors which affect most largely the prosperity of the of party has fallen and no more pote ror country, than in any decade since. The cost of government has largely in- creased under Republican rule. The expendi- tures per capita for the last years respectively of the administrations given taken from the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury, were as_follows: In 1860, under Buchanan, $2 01; in 1803 under Harrison, $5 77; in 1897, under Clev land, $5 10; in' 1901, under McKinley, $6 5 04, under Roosevelt, $7 10. Republicans 'now claim great co in_thelr_attitude upon the curren: question and the President in his recent speech mean when they speak of a stable ““the same thing from vear to year,” currenc and yet in the platform of thelr party in 1884, 188% and 1802 they favored the|double standard of value. In the platform of 188§ they said, 'he Republican party is in favor of the e of both gold and silver as money and condemns the policy of the Democratic ad- ministration in its efforts to demonetize sil- ver.” TRIBUTE TO JUDGE PARKER. I congratulate your committee and the con- stituency it represents In the selection by the delegates to the national convention of the nominee for the Presidency. He is a man of courage, vet prudent; of high 1deals, without pretense; of the most wholesome re- spect for the constitution and the majesty of the laws under it and a sacred regard for their limitations: of the keenest sense of jus- tice, which would rebel against compounding a wrong to an individual or to & nation; positive in conviction, yet of few words; strong in mental and moral 'attributes and yvet withal modest, possessed of a sturdy constitution and magnificent manhood, and yet temperate in his actions and dignified in his demeanor, It {s not the orator or man of letters, but the man of reserve force, of sound judgment, of conservative methed and steadiness of pu pose whom the people have called to the of- fice of the Presidency. Notably In the con- tests between Jefferson and Burr, Jackson and Clay, Lincoln and Douglas, Gran and Greeley, Dire predictions were made by our poli- tical opponents ot what would happen at the St. Louls convention, but they misjudged t temper of the party and the people. While there had been differences in preceding cam- palgns, vet at St. Louis they were all har- monized and a common ground was found upon which all could stand and do battle for Democratic principles. A platform was adopt- ed by a unanimous vote, embracing the lssues of the day and presenting to the people a declaration of principles which, in the lan- guage of the times, i3 sane, safe and sound. With a candidate whose personality appeals to the good sense and sound judgment of the American people, a platform whose prineiples are for the greafest good to the greatest num- ber and a reunited party, earnest for the réstoration of good and economical government, we should succeed and the principles of Demo- cracy again triumph. I beg my countrymen, they value their liberty, to guard with the sacred right of local " &elf-government and to watch with a Jealous eye the tendency of the times to cen- tralize power In the hands of the few. Mr. Chalrman, it is an added pleasure to recelve this notification at your hands. You have been conservative and courageous as leader of our party in the House of Repre- sentatives, a position which few have filled with the "signal ability that you have dis- played. Tt will be my pleasure and duty, at @ time not far hence, to accept more formally in writing the nomination which you haye tendered in such graceful and compliment terms and to give my views upon some of the important questions now commanding the attention of the country. b A TON OF TEA FREE—FREE GOLDBERG, BOWEN & CO.S Favorite Family Grade of CEYLON TEA “BEE” BRAND.
