PREFACE.
The year 1892 marks an epoch in the political history of the United
States, the elections of the year showing a wider and more radical change in
the political sentiment of this country than any preceding one. The election
tables of the Almanac for 1893, covering more than 100 pages, give the vote
in every county (state and territorial), showing exactly where the change of
political opinion has been most pronounced. The table of exports and
imports by articles for two years enables one to see at a glance the effect of
the new tariff legislation on our trade and commerce. A brief history is
given of all the presidential nominating conventions and caucuses since
Washington. Details of the settlement of our difficulties with Chile and Italy,
the progress of the Bering sea dispute and our retaliation on Canada are full
of interest. Short sketches of men who became prominent last year and the
letters of acceptance from the four presidential candidates are new features in
this issue. The World's-Fair matter has been compiled with careful discrimi-
nation and will be found of general interest and value. A large assortment
of census and other statistics bearing on Indian schools, silver, gold, pen-
sions, education, churches, government receipts and expenditures, the liquor
traffic, banks, the currency and a great variety of other subjects of value to
every intelligent citizen, are to be found in the present volume.
THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893 is replete with new and
fresh material. Its aim is to be fair, accurate and strictly non-partisan and
no pains or expense have been spared to maintain the high reputation it has
already made for completeness and trustworthiness.

NATIONAL NOMINAl
Synopsis of all presidential nomic
It is not necessary to go very lar back In our
history to find the origin of our nominating
conventions. The constitution of the United
States provided only for the election of the
president and vice-president, and the idea
was that electors should be chosen by the
people of the states, who would not only name
the candidate but elect him to his high office.
In the choice of our first president this idea
was for the first and only time carried out,
and without being nominated Washington
was chosen president by the first electoral
college of tha country. The number of elect-
oral votes cast in 1789 was 69, all of which
were cast for Washington. John Adams

received the next highest number, 34, and
was declared vice-president. During the next
four years the number of electoral votes in-
creased very largely, being 132 at the second
presidential election. All of these were cast
for Washington, while John Adams received
77 votes for the vice-presidency. The retire-
ment of Washington in 17911-7 opened the doors
for a host of presidential candidates, there
being no other man whom the people could
unite on with so much unanimity. Upon open-
ing the returns for the election of Washing-
ton's successor for the term beginning March
4, 1797, there were found to be no less than thir-
teen distinguished names among those voted
40

for for the presidential office. These were
John Adams, Jefferson, Thomas Pinckney,
Burr, Samuel Adama, Ellsworth, Jay, Clinton,
Johnstoue, Iredell, Henry, C. C. Pinckney
and Washington. At this election the number
of electoral votes had increased to 139, of
which John Adams received 71 and Thomas
Jefferson the next highest number, 68.
1800.
The era of "republican simplicity" was now
passing away. The gratitude that impelled
the unanimous election of Washington was
felt in regard to no other man, and the ac-
knowledged leadership which put forward
Adams and Jefferson as the two candidates In
the third general election was no longer rec-
ognized. Hence the date 1800 became an era
in our political history, as It was the time of
the institution of the nominating caucus.
This congressional caucus, which enjoys the
honor of being the first, was held In Phila-
delphia during the year, and after a good deal
of discussion resulted in the nomination of
Jefferson for president and Burr for vice-
president. The presidential contest this year
was between these two on one side and Adams
and Pinckney on the other. The electoral vote
was 138, and stood 73 each for Jefferson and
Burr, 65 for Adams, 64 for Ptnckney, and 1 f or
John Jay No choice was made and the elec-
tion went to the house of representatives,
which, after balloting thirty-six times, during
six days, resulted in the election of Jefferson
and Burr. In 1804 the contest lay between
Jefferson and Pinckney for president and
Clinton and King, both of New York, for vice-
president. Though there must have been a
caucus nomination there is no record of such
an event. The electoral vote was 176, of
which Jefferson and King received 162 and
Pinckney and Clinton 14.
1808.
Toward the close of Jefferson's administra-
tion the legislature of Virginia fell into dis-
cord in regard to the respective claims of
Madison and Monrpe for the next presidential
term and a republican congressional caucus
was held in Washington in January, 1808, to
decide which should be nominated. There
were 136 republican members of congress, of
whom 94 attended the caucus and agreed to
nominate Madison. No record exists of the
manner in which the opposition made their
nominations, but the opposing candidate was
Pinckney. The electoral vote was 175, of
which Madison received 122, Pinckney 47, and
linton 6. The latter for vice-president re-
ceived 113 ballots, the scattering votes being
divided among a number of rival aspirants.
1812.
In May, 1812, a congressional caucus nomi-
nated Madison for a second term. This year
however, memorable for the first feeble atr
tempt at a nominating convention. The op-
position had been growing in strength and
called a convention to meet in New York in
September, 1812. Eleven states were repre-
sented at this first convention, and DeWitt
linton of New York was placed in nomina-
tion, a movement which received the warm-
st support from the legislature of that state.
The records do not show that any candidate
for vice-president was nominated at this con-
vention. The election resulted in the choice
of Madison. The electoral vote numbered 217,
of which Madison, for president, received 128
and Clinton 89, while for vice-president Gerry
received 131 and Ingersoll 86. Madison en-
tered upon his second term March 4, 1813, but
there is no record of his having taken the oath
of office.
1816.
In 1816, just before the close of Madison's
second term, the republican congressional
caucus again met and nominated James Mon-
roe for president. There were 119 votes in the
caucus, of which Monroe received 65 and
Crawford of Georgia 54. The opposition fed-
eralists were considerably disorganized at this
time, since no record exists of any nomina-
tion, though their ticket was represented by
Rufus King of New York. It hardly seems
possible for a convention to have been held of
which no records remain, and the more rea-
sonable supposition is that King presented
himself as a candidate at the request of his
friends. His efforts were in vain, for he was
badly beaten. The number of electoral votes
cast at the election was 217, of which Monroe
received 183 and King 34. The contest for vice-
president was more lively, as five candidates
contested the election. Harper received 4
votes, Ross 5, Marshall 4, Howard 22 and
Tompkins 183.
1820.
In 1820 the federalists were so much scat-
tered and so unable to rally their forces that
in effect no opposition was made to the nomi-
nation or election of Monroe to his second
term. The electoral vote numbered 235, of
which Monroe received 231 and John Quincy
Adams received 1. As before, five men en-
tered the lists for the vice-presidency. Harper
and Rush each received 1 vote, Rodney 4,
Stockton 8, and Tompkins 218.
1824.
In 1824 the caucus feature began to be very
displeasing to the republicans in general and
great numbers of them gave previous notice
that they would not be governed by the dic-
tates of the caucus. There were at this time
216 members of congress who were counted as
republicans, yet the caucus which nominated
Crawford was composed of only sixty-six
members, and in consequence of the slim at-
tendance and the non-concurrence of the party
the nomination of Crawford was very gener-
ally repudiated by the republicans. Three
other candidates were brought into the field
by legislative and popular nominations An-
drew Jackson, John Q. Adams and Henry Clay
while six nominations for the vice-presi-
dency were made. The number of electoral
votes in the contest of 1824 was 261, of which
Jackson received 99, Adams 84, Crawford 41,
and Clay 37. For vice-president Calhoun re-
ceived 182 votes, Sandford 3'J, Macon 24, Jack-
son 81, Clay 9, and Van Buren 2. No election
having been made, the contest went to the
house of representatives and Adams was
elected by the vote of thirteen states. This
"scrub race," as it was called, put an end to
the caucus system.
1828.
As soon as the contest of 1824 was decided
the legislature of Tennessee announced Jack-
son as a candidate for the next term. He was
opposed by Adams, but no record exists as to
the manner of the latter's nomination. Cal-
houn, Rush and Smith were candidates for the
vice-presidency, but how they were desig-
nated as such is not known. The contest was
a spirited one, and resulted in Jackson's elec-
tion by a large majority. There were 261 elect-
oral votes, or which Jackson received 178 and
Adams 83. For vice-president Calhoun re-
ceived 171, Rush 83, and Smith 7.
1832.
We now come to what may properly be re-
garded as the convention period of American
politics, which has continued down to the
NATIONAL NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
present time. The first regular national
nominating convention of which any record
can be found met in Philadelphia in Septem-
ber, 1830. It was called the United States
anti-masonic convention, and was composed
of ninety-six delegates, \vho represented New
York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Ohio, Maryland, and Michigan terri-
tory. Francis Granger of New York was
president, but no business was transacted
except to issue a call for another convention
of persons opposed to secret societies, to be
held at Baltimore. In compliance with this
call the national anti-masonic convention
assembled at Baltimore Sept. 26, 1831. There
were 112 delegates present, every state being
represented, but only New York, Massachu-
setts and Pennsylvania had the full number
of delegates allowed. This movement had its
origin in the excitement caused by the alleged
killing of Morgan for disclosing the secrets of
freemasonry. John C. Spencer of New York
was chosen president. The convention nomi-
nated William Wirt of Maryland for presi-
dent, and Amos Bllmaker of Pennsylvania
for vice-president.
In May, 1832, the first national democratic
convention was held in Baltimore. The party
was entirely satisfied with Jackson, and there
could be no organized opposition to his re-
nomination, and so it was unanimously con-
firmed by the convention. The real purpose
of the convention was the nomination of a
vice-presidential candidate, the party having
fallen out with Calhoun. At this convention
Gen. Robert Lucas of Ohio presided, and the
regular proceedings began with the adoption
of the famous two-thirds rule, which has been
affirmed in every national democratic conven
tion from that day to this. Delegates to the
number of 313 were present. Martin Van
Buren was nominated for vice-president, re-
ceiving 203 votes.
The republicans recognized the fact that
conventions were to be the popular means for
nomination of candidates, and accordingly
met in convention at Baltimore Dec. 12, 1831.
James Barbour was chosen president. There
were 157 delegates present, representing
seventeen states and the District of Columbia.
No formal declaration of principles was made,
but an address was published dealing with
the shortcomings of Gen. Jackson, in which
he and his administration were severely criti-
cised. The unanimous vote of the convention
was cast for Henry Clay as the candidate for
the presidency, and for John Sergeant for
vice-president. The address of the conven-
tion recommended another convention of
"young men of the republican party," and in
pursuance thereof a convention was held May
11, 1832, in Washington. William C. Johnson
was chairman, but as the nominations of the
party had been made the preceding autumn
nothing was left for the convention to do ex-
cept to pass resolutions, which it did, in favor
of industrial protection and internal improve-
ments, and against the rotation in office prin-
ciple lately promulgated by Jackson.
In the contest of 1832 there were twenty
other candidates who ran without having
regular party nominations. In the election
the electoral votes numbered 288; for presi-
dent Wirt received 7, Floyd 11, Henry Clay
49, and Jackson 219. For vice-president
Ellmaker received 7 votes. Lee 11, Wilkins
30, Sergeant 49, and Van Buren 189.
1836.
The years 1835 and 1836 saw the convention
system fairly under way. There were two
nominating conventions held. The demo-
cratic national convention assembled in
Baltimore in May, with representatives from
twenty-one states. Andrew Stevenson pre-
sided and for the first time there was a long
list of honorary vice-presidents. Only one
ballot for the presidential nomination was
taken, which resulted in the unanimous choice
of Martin Van Buren. The ballot for vice-
president resulted in 87 votes for Rives and
178 for R. M. Johnson. No platform was
adopted by the convention.
A whig state convention held in Harrisburg,
Pa., in the latter part of 1835, by acclamaticn
nominated William Henry Harrison and
Francis Granger for the national ticket, and a
democratic anti-masonic convention held
soon after in the same city ratified the nom-
ination of Harrison, but substituted John
Tyler in place of Granger for the vice-presi-
dency. A number of other nominations were
made by state legislatures and other bodies,
whose records have been lost. There were in
all five candidates for president and in the
election Mangum received 11 votes, Webster
14, White 26, Harrison 73, and Van Buren 176.
For vice-president there were four candidates.
Smith received 23 votes, Taylor 47, Granger
77, and Johnson 147.
1840.
The years 1839 and 1840 saw three conven-
tions, the first of which was also the first
abolition convention ever held in the United
States. Its session began at Warsaw, N. Y.,
Nov. 13, 1839, and lasted several days. Distinct
abolition principles were announced in its
platform and James G. Birney was nominated
for president, Francis J. LeMoyne for vice-
president. Although these candidates de-
clined the nominations, they received 7,609
votes in the northern states.
The whig national conven tion met at Harris-
burg, Pa., Dec. 4, 1839. Twenty-one states were
represented by 254 delegates, and James
Barbour presided. Balloting was carried on
in the committee of the whole for several
days, but no result was reached until the Scott
delegates went over to Harrison. The first
ballot in the convention resulted in 16 votes
for Winfield Scott, 90 for Henry Clay, and 148
for William Henry Harrison. There was no
contest over the vice-presidency, John Tyler
being the unanimous choice of the conven-
tion.
The national democratic convention assem-
bled at Baltimore June 5, 1840. Delegates from
twenty-one states were present and William
Carroll presided. Van Buren was unani-
mously nominated for president, but when the
question of vice-president arose the dissen-
sion was so serious that no choice was made,
but the designation of a candidate was left
to the people. In this election the number of
electoral votes was 294, of which Van Buren
received 60 and Harrison 234. There were four
candidates for vice-president. Polk received
1 vote, Tazewell 11, Johnson 48, and Tyler
234.
1844.
The canvass of 1844 was preceded by three
national conventions. The liberal party na-
tional convention began at Buffalo, N. Y.,
Aug. 30, 1843. It was virtually the abolition
party under a new name and adopted an ex-
tended declaration of belief embodying the
i principles of abolitionism afterward openly
expressed by the republican party. Leicester
King presided, and the nominees were James
G. Birney for president and Thomas Morris
for vice-president.
The whig national convention assembled in
Baltimore May 1, 1844, and was composed of
delegates from every state in the union. Am-
| brose Spencer was president and Henry Clay
was nominated for president without a dis-
1 senting voice. The choice of a vice-president

was more difficult and three ballots were
taken before a choice was made. On the last
jallot Frelinghuysen received 155 votes, Davis
I. and Fillmore 40.
The democratic national convention met in
Baltimore May 27, 1844. The two-thirds rule
was responsible for the convention being a
hot one. Nine ballots were taken, there De-
ng f onr candidates on the first. Of the votes
cast Van Buren received 146, Cass 93, Johnson
29, and Buchanan 4. There was not much
change in the balloting until the eighth, when
Van Buren received 104. Cass 114, Buchanan
2, Calhoun 2, and Polk 44. This was the first
ballot in which Folk's name was mentioned.
On the ninth ballot Polk received 233 votes,
Van Buren 2, and Cass 29. Silas Wright was
nominated for vice-president, but he declined
and George M. Dallas was substituted. The
result was the election of Polk, he receiving
170 electoral votes and Clay 105.
1848.
Three conventions preceded the contest of
this year. The democratic convention was
beld in Baltimore May 27, 1848. There was
considerable trouble at the outset with the
credentials of the delegates who claimed
recognition. New York sent two delegations.
3ne commonly known as ''barnburners" and
the other as "hunkers." The convention
sought to please all by admitting both, but
neither delegation was satisfied unless the
others were excluded, and accordingly both
withdrew. Andrew Stevenson presided. Four
ballots were taken, the candidates being Cass,
Woodbury, Buchanan, Calhoun, Dallas, |
Worth and Butler. Cass began with 125 votes
on the first ballot and ran up to 179 on the !
fourth, and was nominated. Three ballots
ere taken for vice-president, on the first of
which William O. Butler received 114 and
Jefferson Davis 1, the remainder being scat-
tered among several candidates. Butler
gained on the second and was nominated on
the third ballot. The "barnburners," who
bolted the convention, were so incensed at the
nomination of Cass and Butler that they
called a convention at Utica.N. Y., June 22.
Samuel Young presided, and Van Buren was
made the nominee for president and Henry
Dodge for vice-president.
The whig national convention met in Phila-
delphia June 7, 1848. John M. Morehead pre-
sided. The candidates were Taylor, Clay,
Scott, Webster, Clayton and McLean, and
four ballots were taken. The number of votes
was 270, and on the last ballot Taylor, who
had started with 111, received 171, and was
declared the nominee. Fillmore was nomi-
nated on the second ballot for vice-president.
Aug. 9, 1848, a free-soil convention assem-
bled at Buffalo, having representatives from
eighteen states. Charles Francis Adams pre-
sided, and Van Buren and Adams were made
the nominees of the convention. In a long
platform the convention protested vigorously
against the action of the whig and democratic
conventions and demanded the freedom of
the slaves in the style used later by the aboli-
tionists. Nothing came of the movement and

The persistence of the solitary voter who
voted forty-eight times for Daniel S.Dickinson
and the introduction of Franklin Pierce's name
on the thirty-fifth ballot, which resulted in
nomination on the forty-ninth, has no paralle
in the history of American political conven
tions. William R. King was nominated on
the second ballot for vice-president.
The whigs met at Baltimore June 16 and an

opened in a spirited way. The democratic

Three days were spent In adopting a platform,
which was mainly a "know-nothing," anti-
administration declaration. A president was
nominated on the first ballot, which stood:
Fillmore 179, Law 24, Raynor 14, McLean 13,
Davis 10, and Houston 10. Andrew J. Donelson
was nominated for vice-president on the first
ballot.
The democrats met at Cincinnati June
2, John E. Ward presiding. Pro-slavery and
state-rights resolutions of the strongest
character were adopted and seventeen ballots
were taken before a nomination was made.
The candidates were Buchanan, Pierce, Cass
and Douglas. Buchanan began with 135
votes and gained steadily to 296, a unanimous
nomination. Pierce began with 122 and fell
off gradually until the last ballot. Douglas
began with 33 votes, rose to 121, and on the
last ballot had 3^ votes. The highest vote
received by Cass was 7. Ten candidates
sought the vice-presidential nomination, but
on the second ballot all withdrew except
Breckenridge, who was unanimously nom-
inated.
The first republican national convention
assembled in Philadelphia June 17, Henry S.
Lane of Indiana being chosen presiding
officer. The platform was decidedly anti-
slavery. An informal ballot for president was
taken to test the preferences of the delegates,
and showed 359 votes for John C. Fremont,
against 1% for McLean. The nomination of
Fremont was at once declared unanimous.
An informal ballot for vice-president was
taken, which resulted as follows: Henry C.
Carey received 3 votes, S. C. Pomeroy 8, John
A. King 9, Henry Wilson 9, A. C. M. Pennington
1, N. P. Banks 46, W. F. Johnston 2, J. R.
Giddings 2, Jacob Collamer 15, Cassius M.
Slay 4, Charles Sumner 35, Thomas Ford 7.
avid Wilmot 43, Abraham Lincoln 110, and
William L. Dayton 259. The latter was unani-
mously nominated, but this informal ballot
will always be memorable as showing the
popularity of Mr. Lincoln at this early day.
The whigs met at Baltimore Sept. 17,
Edward Bates presiding. The platform dep-
recated the reign of strong partisan feeling
and advocated peace and quiet. Fillmore
and Donelson were unanimously nominated,
but in the subsequent election carried only
Maryland.
Of the 296 electoral votes Buchanan and
Breckenridge received 174, Fremont and Day-
ton 114, and Fillmore and Donelson 8.
1860.
The year 1860 marks a new era in American
politics and the conventions of this year
show the great upheaval that had taken place
In the minds of the people. An account of
the conventions of this year is given more in
detail for this reason. The national demo-
cratic convention met at Charleston April 23.
Every state in the union was represented by
full delegations, but the party dissensions in
Illinois and New York caused the sending of
two delegations from each of these states,
^rancis B. Flournoy was chosen temporary
chairman. The exclusion of the "Wood 5 '
delegation from New York and the admission
of the Douglas delegation from Illinois In-
flamed the southern members of the conven-
tion at the very start and much angry debate
followed. Caleb Cushing was chosen perma-
nent chairman and a platform committee
was selected, it being insisted that a platform
was necessary before a candidate was nomi-
nated. The platform committee wrangled
four days and were unable to agree and ac-
cordingly four platforms were submitted to
the convention from which to select one. The
platform presented by the majority of the
committee declared "that congress had no
power to abolish slavery in the territories;
that the territorial legislature had no power
to abolish slavery in the territories, nor to
prohibit the introduction of slavery therein,
nor any power to destroy or impair the right
of property in slaves by any legislation what-
ever;" and "that it is the duty of the federal
government to protect the right of persons
and property on the high seas, in the terri-
tories or whereve/ else its jurisdiction ex-
tends." These ultra pro-slavery declarations
were dissented from by others of the com-
mittee who, headed by Henry B. Payne,
brought in a minority report, reaffirming the
Cincinnati platform of 1856, which advocated
the non-interference of congress with slavery
in the territories and declared that slavery
was a question of property as such should be
decided by the Supreme court and pledged
the democracy to abide by the decision of
that court. '1 his minority report was signed
by members of the committee from Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
New York and Pennsylvania. A third report
was presented by Gen. B. F. Butler, which in-
dorsed the Cincinnati platform with some
trivial alterations. A fourth report was pre-
sented by J. A. Bayard, which also affirmed
the Cincinnati platform with the proviso that
all citizens had equal rights in the territories.
These reports were all sent back to the com-
mittee and on the next day Mr. Avery
brought in a modified platform from the
majority. This asserted the rights of the
slave-holders in the territories and when a
sufficient number of inhabitants were in any
territory the same should be admitted as a
state without taking the slavery question
into consideration at all. The minority re-
port was brought in by Mr. Samuels of Iowa
and embodied the same measures that were
urged by the three minority reports pre-
viously submitted. The majority report was
adopted by the convention by a vote of 165 to
138. This action of the convention was bit-
terly resented by the southern delegates and
the delegation of Alabama offered a protest
to the proceedings and afterward withdrew
from the convention. The delegations from
Florida, Mississippi and Texas followed the
lead of Alabama. Parts of the delegations
from Louisiana, South Carolina, Arkansas,
Delaware and North Carolina also withdrew.
After the withdrawal of these delegates the
convention proceeded to ballot for president.
The full convention contained 303 members,
but a large number had withdrawn, so that a
two-thirds vote of 202 members would be diffi-
cult for any one candidate to secure. The
two-thirds rule prevailed and the result was
that no nomination was made at Charleston.
Fifty-seven ballots were taken, however, the
candidates being Douglas, Guthrie, Hunter.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
Dickinson, Andrew Johnson, Lane, Jefferson
Davis, Toucy and Pierce. The candidate who
bad the highest vote was Douglas, who re-
ceived 152& The convention adjourned to
meet at Baltimore on the 18th of June. At the
appointed time full representations were pres-
ent from all those states which had not with-
drawn from the Charleston convention, and
the delegations that ha-d left that convention
were excluded from this. Enraged at this ex-
clusion of the seceding delegates the delega-
tions from Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes-
see, California and Delaware, together with
portions of the delegations from Maryland,
Kentucky, Massachusetts and Missouri, re-
tired from the convention. Mr. Cushing, the
chairman, also retired and Gen. Todd of
Ohio was chosen in his place. Balloting for
president began, Douglas, Breckenridge and
Guthrie being placed in nomination. Two
ballots were taken. On the first Breckenridge
received 5 Guthrie 10 and Douglas 173^. On
the second Guthrie received 5^, Breckenridge
7^i and Douglas 181^. After the second bal-
lot Douglas was unanimously nominated.
Fitzpatrick was nominated for vice-president,
but declined, and Herschel V. Johnson of
Georgia was substituted.
The seceders from the Baltimore conven-
tion met in that city June 28. In all, twenty-
one states were fully or in part represented,
but there were no delegates from Connecticut,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island,
South Carolina or Wisconsin. Caleb Cushing
presided. The two-thirds rule was adopted
and the delegates who had been refused ad-
mission to the regular convention were urged
to unite with this body. The Avery platform,
upon which the Charleston convention had
split, was unanimously adopted. One ballot
was taken for president, John C. Breckenridge
receiving 105 votes, being the whole number
of delegates present. Joseph Lane of Oregon
was nominated on the first ballot for vice-
president.
The band of seceders from the Charleston
convention met at Richmond June 11 and
organized by choosing John Erwin as chair-
man. Delegates were present from Alabama,
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee
and Virginia. This convention did nothing
more than ratify the nominations of Brecken-
ridge and Lane made by the Baltimore
seceders.
A constitutional union convention was held
at Baltimore May 9. It promulgated strictly
union and constitutional principles. The
candidates for president were John Bell, Sam
Houston, John M. Butts, John McLean, J. J.
Crittenden, Edward Everett, W. L. Goggin,
W. A. Graham, W. L. Sharkey and W. C.
Rives. Bell and Everett were unanimously
nominated.
The republican national convention met
in Chicago May 1(>. It was called to order by
David Wilmot and was composed of delegates
from all the free states, together with repre-
s -ntatives from Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri. George Ashmun of Massachusetts
was chosen permanent chairman. The ma-
jority rule in nominating candidates was
adopted. The platform adopted boldly de-
clared the condition to which the country had
been reduced was due to the continued years
of democratic rule and promulgated repub-
lican doctrines in regard to slavery in the
territories. The eighth plank in the platform
was specially directed against slavery and
declared it to be a shameless institution and
that it should not be spread in the territories
of the United States. The candidates for
president were many, including Seward,
Lincoln, Wade, Cameron, Bates, McLean,
Reade, Chase. Dayton, Sumner, Fremont,
Callamer, and C. M. Clay. The result of the
balloting was as follows:

1864.
The war was in progress in 1864 and the
nominating conventions were few and devoid
of any interest except such as arose from the
question of preservation of the union.
The republicans met in Baltimore June 7,
William Dennison of Ohio presiding.
There was a very full representation of
delegates, many being admitted from the
states actually in rebellion. The convention
was unanimously in favor of Lincoln's re-
nomination and on the first ballot he received
497 votes, being the entire vote of the conven-
tion except 22 votes from Missouri, which
were given toGen.Grant. The vice-presidential
candidates were Hamlin, L. H. Rosseau, D. S.
Dickinson and Andrew Johnson. As the first
ballot was taken every one perceived the
great numerical strength of Johnson and he
was nominated on the first ballot.
The democrats met in Chicago Aug. 19.
Horatio Seymour was the permanent presi-
dent. The attendance of delegates was by no
means full and little interest was manifested
in the convention either by the people or the
delegates. George B. McClellan was nomin-
ated for president on the first ballot, receiv-
ing 202}^ votes, while Seymour received 23^.
The candidates for vice-president were Pen-
dleton, Guthrie, D. W. Voorhees, G. W. Cass,
August Dodge, J. D. Catron. Powell and
Phelps. Before the second ballot all had

1868.
The republicans led off in the conventions
of the year, meeting at Chicago May 20, with
Gen. Hawley as presiding officer. There was
only one sentiment in the party regarding a
presidential candidate and Gen. Grant
received every vote in the convention on the
first ballot. For the vice-presidency there was
more difference of opinion. Colfax, Wade,
Hamlin, Fenton, Wilson, Curtin, Kelly, Har-
lan, Pomeroy, Speid, and Cresswell all sought
the nomination. Five ballots were taken and
Colfax was unanimously nominated on the
fifth.
The democrats met in the city of New York
on July 4. Horatio Seymour presided. There
were a large number of aspirants for the
presidential nomination, including Hancock,
Hendricks, Seymour, English, Doolittle, John-
son, Chase, McClellan, Field, Hoffman, Blair
and Pendleton. Twenty-two ballots were
taken and Seymour was nominated while
seated in the chair guiding the deliberations
of the convention. Frank P. Blair was nom-
inated on the first ballot for vice-president.
The number of electoral votes was 294, of
hich Grant and Colfax received 214 and Sey-
mour and Blair 80.
1872.
The first convention of the year was that of
e national prohibition party. This party
had been organized at a meeting called for
that purpose at Chicago Sept. 1, 1869. The
name first adopted was the anti-dramshop
party, but before the meeting adjourned the
name was changed. The party convention
met at Columbus, O.. Feb. 22, 1872. The Rev.
John Russell called the convention to order;
the Hon. Henry Fish was chosen temporary
and the Hon. S. P. Chase permanent chair-
man. The platform declared for prohibition
in the sale of intoxicating liquors and for
suffrage without regard to "color, race, for-
mer social condition, sex or nationality."
The subject of nominations was referred to a
committee of thirteen, who reported the
name of James Black of Pennsylvania for
president and that of the Rev. John Russell
of Michigan for vice-president.
The chief interest, however, In the cam-
paign of 1882 centered in the liberal repub-
lican movement. This movement originated
n Missouri in 1870, its chief instigators being
^arl Schurz and B. Gratz Brown. It consisted
of moderate democrats and disgruntled re-
publicans, who united in a state campaign in
support of the "libera. ticket." A mass state
convention was called by the republican wing
of the party to meet at Jefferson City Jan 24
1872, and at this meeting nearly every county
n the state was represented It closed its
proceedings by issuing a call for a national
convention at Cincinnati on the first Monday
n May "to take such action as their convic-
tions of duty and of public exigencies may
require." Jan. 9 the democratic state central
committee of Missouri issued an address
"avoring the making of no nominations in
872 and the support of the candidate of
;he disaffected republicans. On May 1 a
large convention of liberal republicans as-
sembled in Cincinnati and organized by mak-
ng Carl Schurz of Missouri the permanent
!hairman. A platform was adopted which
was believed to be broad enough to accom-
modate democrats as well as republicans.
Without the formal naming of candidates the
balloting for president began. Six ballots
were taken, with the following result:

Before the sixth ballot was announced Min-
nesota changed 9 votes from Trumbull to
Greeley. Pennsylvania changed her vote to 50
for Greeley and 6 for Davis. Indiana changed
her 27 19 Adams. Other changes followed and
the chairman announced the result as 482 for
Greeley and 187 for Adams. For vice-president
B. Gratz Brown was nominated on the second
ballot, receiving 495 against 175 for G. W.
Julian, 75 for S. C. Walker, 3 for T. W. Tiptpn,
and 8 for John M. Palmer. Many of the liberal
republicans were dissatisfied with the nomina-
tion of Greeley, and a meeting was held in
New York May 30, composed of such persons.
In compliance with the views of this meeting
a conference was subsequently held on June
20 of persons invited. The invitation to this
conference was signed by Carl Schurz, Jacob
D. Cox, William Cullen Bryant, Oswald Otten-
dorfer. David A. Wells, and Jacob Brinkerhoff.
A series of resolutions was adopted, and
William S. Groesbeck of Ohio was nominated
for president and F. L. Olmsted of New
York for viee-president. During the ex-
citement of this canvass this ticket was lost
sight of and at the ensuing election received
no votes.
The republicans assembled in Philadelphia
June 5. Morton McMichael was made the tem-
porary and Thomas Settle the permanent
chairman. The demand of the party was
unanimously for Gen. Grant for a second term
and he was renominated by acclamation. For
the vice-presidency Henry Wilson received
364^ votes to 312J6 for Schuyler Colfax and Mr.
Wilson was nominated.
The democrats met at Baltimore July 9 and
were presided over by James R Doolittle.
Resolutions were adopted that were in
harmony with the Cincinnati platform of the
liberal republicans. There were 7:32 delegates
in the convention, and the vote, in the nom-
inating of a candidate for the presidency,
stood as follows: Horace Greeley 686, James
A Bayard 15, Jeremiah Black 21, William S.
Groesbeck 2, blank 8. Mr. Greeley received
more than two-thirds and was declared
the nominee. B. Gratz Brown received 713
votes for vice-president.
Some democrats who were opposed to the
nomination of Greeley met in Louisville Sept.
3 to nominate a so-called "straight-out" dem-
ocratic ticket The convention was called to
order by Blanton Duncan, and James Lyons
was made the permanent chairman. The
platform declared that "we proclaim to the
world that principle is to be preferred to
power; that the democratic party is held
together by the cohesion of time-honored
principles, which they will never surrender

O'Conor of New York was nominated for the
presidency and John Quincy Adams of
Massachusetts for the vice-presidency. Mr.
O'Conor persistently refused to be a candi-
date, and Mr. Adams consented only on the
condition that Mr. O'Conor withdraw his
declination. This was not done, and a small
number of votes was given for the ticket in
the country.
There were 349 votes in the electoral college,
of which Grant and Wilson received 286,
Thomas A. Hendricks 42, B. Gratz Brown 18,
Charles J. Jenkins 2, and David Davis 1. Mr.
Greeley died after the election and the dem-
ocrats scattered their votes.
1876.
Four tickets were in the field in the cam-
paign of 1876. The national prohibition re-
form party assembled at Cleveland May 17.
Over 100 delegates were present, representing
the states of Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Massachu-
setts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, and Wisconsin. The Rev. H. A.
Thompson was permanent chairman. The
Hon. Green Clay Smith of Kentucky was
nominated for president and the Hon. G. T.
Stewart of Ohio was nominated for vice-presi-
dent At the ensuing election no electoral
votes were cast for the nominees.
A convention of independents, commonly
called the national greenback convention, as-
sembled at Indianapolis May 17. Nineteen
states were represented by 239 delegates. The
platform demanded "the immediate and un-
conditional repeal of the specie resumption
act of Jan. 14, 1875, and the rescue of our in-
dustries from the ruin and disaster resulting
from its enforcement." Peter Cooper of New
York was nominated for president and New-
ton Booth of California for vice-president.
Mr. Booth subsequently declined, and Samuel
F. Gary of Ohio was substituted in his place.
No electoral votes were given the candidates.
The republicans met in Cincinnati June 14,
and organized their convention by electing
Edward McPherson chairman. There were a
number of candidates for the presidential
nomination, and seven ballots were taken,

William A. Wheeler was then nominated
for vice-president.
The democratic national convention met in
St. Louis June 28 and was organized by the
choice of John A. McClernand as chairman.
The platform was called the reform platform
because it proposed to reform all the alleged
abuses which had grown up under the re-
publican rule. One of the planks denounced
"the present tariff levied upon nearly 4,000
articles as a masterpiece of injustice, inequal-
ity, and false pretense. It yields a dwindling,
not a yearly rising revenue. It has impover-
ished many industries to subsidize a few. It
prohibits imports that might purchase the
products of American labor. It has degraded
American commerce from the first to an in-
ferior rank on the high seas. It has cut down
the sales of American manufacture at home
and abroad and depleted the returns of
American agriculture an industry followed
by half our people. * * * It pro-
motes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches dis-
honest officials and bankrupts honest mer-
chants. We demand that all custom-house tax-
ation shall be for revenue only." There were
738 delegates. The vote for presidential candi-
date stood: First ballot. Samuel J. Tilden
404J^, William Allen 54, A. G. Thurman 3,
Thomas A. Hendricks 140K T, F. Bavard 33,
Joel Parker 18, W. S. Hancock 75, M. 'Broad-
head 16. The second ballot stood: Tilden 5X5,
A len 54, Thurman 2, Hendricks 85, Bayard 4,
Hancock 58; necessary for a choice 492. Mr.
Hendricks was nominated for vice-president.
There being a dispute over the electoral
votes of Florida, Louisiana, Oregon and South
Carolina, they were referred by congress to
an electoral commission composed of eight
republicans and seven democrats, which by a
strict party vote awarded 185 electoral votes
to Hayes and Wheeler and 184 to Tilden and
Hendricks.
1880.
Gen. Grant returned to the United States
from a trip around the world late in 1879. He
had everywhere been received with a dis-
tinguished consideration that was gratifying
to the pride of the American people. His re-
turn under these circumstances caused his
name to be connected with the republican
nomination for the presidency for a third
term. No sooner was this done than a strong
opposition to his nomination appeared in the
republican party. So strong was this senti-
ment that a republican anti-third term con-
vention was held in St. Louis on May
6, presided over by J. B. Henderson, at
which strong resolutions were adopted oppos-
ing the nomination of Gen. Grant. In many
states, notably New York, the sentiment in
favor of Grant was equally prominent.
The national convention met in Chicago
June 2 and a six days' session followed.
George F. Hoar was both temporary and per-
manent president of the convention. A long
controversy ensued over the power of state
conventions to name delegates from the con-
gressional districts and bind their action by
instructions. Several days were spent in de-
bating this question, and it was finally decided
that state conventions had not the power to
bind district delegates by instructions. This
decision resulted in the loss of many votes for
Gen. Grant. The platform did not differ
greatly from previous party utterances. The
fifth plank, however, contained this sentence:
"We affirm the belief, avowed In 1876, that the
duties levied for purposes of revenue should
so discriminate as to favor American labor."
This was all that was said regarding a tariff.
The first ballot for president was taken on the
7th, the fifth day of the convention, and be-
fore a nomination was made 36 ballots were
necessary. The vote in detail was as follows:

The greenback or national greenback-labor
party took an active part in the canvass, its
convention being held at Chicago on the 9th
of June. The first ballot for a presidential
candidate was informal and resulted as fol-
lows: James B. Weaver 224}^, Herrick B.
Wright 12o^, Stephen B. Dillage 119, B. F. But-
ler 95, Solon Chase 39, E. P. Ahls 41, and Alex-

unanimously nominated. Gen. James B.
Chambers was nominated for vice-president.
The prohibitionists met at Cleveland June
17. The number of delegates present was 142.

chairman. Neal Dow of Maine and A. H.
Thompson of Ohio were nominated for presi-
dent and vice-president by a rising vote.
The democratic convention was held at Cin-
cinnati June 22. It was expected that Mr. Til-
den would be the nominee, but two days prior
to the meeting of the convention he pub-
lished a letter withdrawing his name. Gen.
Stevenson was chosen permanent chairman.
The platform declared for "no sumptuary
laws, separation of church and state, common
schools fostered and protected, home rule,
honest money, consistency of gold and silver
and paper convertible into coin on demand,
the strict maintenance of the public faith,
state and national, and a tariff for revenue
only." Three ballots were taken, resulting as

1884.
The republican national convention met in
Chicago June 3. John B. Henderson was
chosen permanent chairman. The platform
was reported by William McKinley, Jr., of
Ohio, and contained the first declaration in
favor of a protective tariff ever made by the
party. It was as follows:
"It is the first duty of a good government
to protect the rights and promote the inter-
ests of its own people. The largest diversity
of industry is most productive of general
prosperity and of the comfort and independ-
ence of the people. We therefore demand
that the Imposition of duties on foreign im-
ports shall be made, not for revenue only, but
that in raising the requisite revenues for the
government such duties shall be so levied as
to afford security to our diversified industries
and protection to the rights and wages of the
laborer, to the end that active and intelligent
labor, as well as capital, may have its just re-
ward and the laboring man his full share In
the national prosperity."
The balloting for a presidential candidate
followed the adoption of the platform and
resulted as follows:
James G. Elaine
Chester A Arthur
G.F.Edmunds ,
John A. Logan....
John Sherman
J. R. Hawley
Robert T. Lincoln.
W. T. Sherman

Gen. Logan was npmlnated for vice-presi-
dent without opposition.
The democrats met in Chicago July 8, Will-
iam F. Vilas of VVisco sin being the presiding
officer. The platform stated : "Wo therefore
denounce the abuses of the existing tariff, and,
subject to the pendlnylimitations, wedemand
that federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes and shall not exceed the
needs of the government economically admin-
istered." The platform was very long. Gen.
Butler submitted a minority report, which
was a formal and explicit declaration in favor
of a protective tariff, but the report was
rejected by a vote of 97V* yeas to 714^ nays.
Two ballots were taken for presidential nomi-
nee, which stood as follows:

The prohibition convention assembled at
Pittsburg July 23, there being 410 accredited
delegates present from thirty-one states and
territories. Samuel Dickie of Michigan was
chosen permanent cha'rman. John P. St.
John of Kansas was nominated for president
and William Daniel of Maryland for vice-
president. The platform demanded prohibi-
tion in the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
cants, the ballot for women, and arraigned
both the old parties for the ills that beset the
people.
A national convention of the anti-monopoly
party met in Chicago May 14 and nominated
Benjamin F. Butler for president. The
national greenback-labor party met at Indian-
apolis May 27, and was presided over by
Gen. J. B. Weaver. Gen. Butler was asked if
he would accept the presidential nomination
from the party, and, responding in the affirma-
tive, he was nominated on the first ballot.
Absalom M. West was selected for the vice-
presidency. The platform favored substitut-
ing greenbacks for national bank notes, the
destruction of "land, railroad, money and
other gigantic corporate monopolies," and
favored raising the revenues by duties on
luxuries. The electoral college had 401 votes,
of which Cleveland and Hendricks received
219, and Blaine and Logan 182.
1888.
The democratic convention met in St. Louis
June 5. and organized with Patrick A. Collins
for permanent chairman. For some time be-
fore the meeting the renomination of Mr.
Cleveland was conceded, and the only inter-
est centered in the vice-presidency. For the
second office only two names were before the
convention Isaac P. Gray of Indiana and
Allen G. Thurman of Ohio. Mr. Thurman
was nominated on the first ballot, receiving
690 votes to 105 for Mr. Gray and 25 for John
C. Black of Illinois.
The republicans met at Chicago June 19.
In the early part of the year it seemed prob-
able that Mr. Blaine would be the nominee of
the convention, but on the 12th of February,
in a letter addressed by him to B. F. Jones,
dated in Florence, he said that as personal
reasons would prevent him from entering the
contest his name "would not be presented to
the convention." No serious efforts had been
made in behalf of any candidate except John
Sherman, whose nomination had been urged
by the Ohio state convention in July, 1887.
After the letter of Mr. Blaine other state con-
ventions recommended the nomination of
"favorite sons." May SO Mr. Blaine wrote
another letter in which he said that he could
not accept the nomination without showing
bad faith toward those candidates who,
relying oniliis former letter, were already in
the field, and therefore he could not accept at
all. The convention organized by choosing
John M. Thurston temporary and M. Estee
for permanent chairman. The platform was
presented on the third day. On the tariff the
platform said: "We are uncompromisingly in
favor of the American system of protection:
we protest against its destruction as proposed
by the president and his party. They serve
the interests of Europe; we will support the
interests of America. We accept the issue
and confidently appeal to the people for their
judgment. The protective system must be
maintained." Eight ballots were taken in
nominating a presidential candidate, as
follows:

The vice-presidency went to Levl P. Morton
on the first ballot.
The prohibitionists met at Indianapolis
May 30 and organized by choosing H. C.
Delano for temporary and Gen. St. John
for permanent chairman. Gen. Clinton B.
Fisk was nominated for president and
John A. Brooks for vice-president. Consider-
able discussion arose over the platform, espe-
cially upon the subject of woman suffrage,
which was decided in favor of unlimited suf-
frage.
The united labor party held its conven-
tion May 15 at Cincinnati, 274 delegates
being present. This party was formed Feb. 22,
1887, at a convention held in the same city, to
which delegates had been invited from the
labor and farmer organizations, including
knights of labor, wheelers, the corn-growers,
the homesteadry, farmers' alliances, green-
backers and grangers. The convention nomi-
nated A. J. Streeter of Illinois for president
and C. E. Cunningham of Arkansas for vice-
president. The platform, after reciting the
hardships of farmers and laborers, declared
against land monopoly, for government own-
ership of railroads, postal savings banks, free
coinage of silver, arbitration in strike dis-
putes, a service pension bill, a graduated
income tax, popular election of senators, ex-
clusion of the Chinese and female suffrage.
The union labor convention was held in
Cincinnati May 16. The party was made up
from the greenbackers, farmers' organizations
and other labor reformers. The convention
consisted of ninety delegates, representing
nine states. Robert H. Cowdrey of Illinois
was nominated for president and W. H. T.
Wakefleld of Kansas for vice-president. The
platform demanded public ownership of land,
taxing of land according to value instead of
area, government ownership of railroads and
telegraphs, reduction in hours of labor, sim-
plification of court proceedings, and de-
nounced both the old parties as "hopelessly
and shamelessly corrupt."
The national convention of the American
party was held at Washington Aug. 14, 126
delegates being present, more than half of
whom were from New York. The opposition
to the dictation of New York led to the with-
drawal of twenty-five delegates from other
states. James L. Curtis of New York was
nominated for president and James R. Greer

SALES OF MALT LIQUORS. 51
SALES OF MALT LIQUORS FOR 1892.
The Brewers' Journal for July publishes the following statistics, compiled from the
books of the commissioner of internal revenue, of the sales of malt liquors in the various
states and territories and in the leading cities of the country for the year 189:.', as compared
with the six years preceding. The sales in Kansas still continue to decrease. Maine and Ver-
mont still have no sales to be recorded. For the first time we are able to obtain figures of the
decrease in the Dakotas under the prohibitory law nearly 75 per cent, with a slight reaction
In 1892. Iowa, in response to the ferocious attack that has been made upon her prohibitory
law, shows an increase. The theory that "beer drives out whisky" receives a forcible illus-
tration in Kentucky, where there has been a considerable decrease. We give the figures as
they are furnished by the liquor-trade organ:

THE SETTLEMENT WITH ITALY.
Our difficulty with Italy, growing out of the
massacre of eleven Italians in the jail at New
Orleans on the 15th of March, 1891, was dis-
cussed in the Daily News Almanac of 1892
(page 35), the record closing with the trans-
mission to the secretary of state of the report
of the grand jury of New Orleans, which fully
investigated the matter. This was on the 19th
of May, 1891.
Early in 1892 a marked Improvement took
place In the attitude of Italy toward the
United States, although our government did
nothing more than maintain the respectful
dignity It had assumed from the first. No
notice was taken of the affront offered by Italy
to the United States by the recall of Baron
Fava.the Italian minister at Washington. Mr.
Porter, our minister to Rome, came home on
a leave of absence In the summer, but it was
distinctly given out that such absence from
Italy was not a retaliation for the recall of
Baron Fava. The United States left freely
open the way of mending the breach between
the two countries when Italy should move in
that direction. The first step taken by Italy
was in October, 1891, when she voluntarily
opened her markets to American pork, which
had for a long time been excluded from the
country. This was followed by a very pleas-
ant reference to Italy by President Harrison
in his message to congress in December 1891,
which, being noted by the Italian premier,
Rudini, on the 10th of December, brought out
from him in the chamber of deputies a state-
ment of confidence that the questions at
issue between Italy and the United States
would soon be amicably settled.
The feeling between the two countries con-
tinued to grow more friendly during the year,
which resulted in a correspondence between
the two governments that has resulted in a
complete restoration of the amicable rela-
tions that preceded the cause of the trouble.
The government of the United States volun-
tarily took the initiative in closing the breach,
and without committing itself to the recogni-
tion of any claim for indemnity, but simply
as an act of justice and from motives of
comity, placed in the hands of the Marquis
Imperial!, the Italian charge d'affaires at
Washington, the sum of 125.000 francs, or
$25,000, for distribution among the heirs of the
three Italians who were killed at New Orleans
and were found to be subjects of the Italian
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
government. It is understood the money was
taken from the annual appropriation of
$80,000 to enable the president to provide for
unforeseen emergencies in the diplomatic
and consular service, so that it was unnec-
essary to call upon congress for a specific ap-
propriation. By this action on the part of the
United States government the disagreeable
complications in the relations of the two gov-
ernments were removed and the diplomatic
relations between them restored to the ami-
cable status existing before the New Orleans
tragedy. Minister Porter returned to Rome
and a minister from Italy took up his post
at Washington. The full text of the corre-
spondence on the subject is given below in
the following letters:
ELAINE'S LETTER.
Department of State,. Washington, D. C.,
April 12, 1892. Sir: I congratulate you that
the difficulties existing between the United
States and Italy, growing out of the lament-
able massacre at New Orleans in March of
last year, are about to be terminated. The
president, feeling that for such an injury
there should be ample indemnity, instructs
me to tender you 126,000 francs. The Italian
vernment will distribute this sum among
e families of the victims.
While the injury was not inflicted directly
by the United States, the president neverthe-
less feels that it is the solemn duty as well as
the great pleasure of the national govern-
ment to pay a satisfactory indemnity. More-
over, the president's instructions carry with
them the hope that the transaction of to-day
may efface all memory of the unhappy trag-
edy; that the old and friendly relations of
the United States and Italy maybe restored,
and that nothing untoward may ever again
occur to disturb their harmonious friendship.
I avail myself of this occasion to assure you
that your prolonged service at this capital as
charge d'affaires has been marked by every
quality that renders you grateful and accept-
able to the government of the United States,
and to renew to you the assurance of my high
consideration. JAMES G. ELAINE.
To Marquis Imperial!, charge d'affaires of
Italy.
ITALY'S ANSWER.
Washington, D. C., April 12, 1832. His Ex-
cellency James G. Elaine, Secretarv of State-
Mr. Secretary of State: You were pleased
to inform me, by your note of to-day, that the
federal government had decided to pay to
Italy, by way of indemnity, the sum of ~~
go
th
francs, to be distributed by the Italian
government among the families of the royal
subjects who were victims of the massacre
which took place March 15, Ib91, in the city of
New Orleans. Your excellency also expressed
the hope that the decision reached by the
president would put an end to the unfortu-
nate incident to which the deplorable occur-
rence gave rise, and that the friendly rela-
tions between the two countries would be
firmly established.
After having taken note with much pleasure
of the language used by the president in his
message of December last, and after having
fully appreciated the words of regret and cen-
sure uttered with so much authority by the
chief magistrate of the republic, and likewise
the recommendations to congress that were
suggested to his lofty wisdom by the unhappy
incident, the government of his majesty is
now glad to learn that the United States ac-
knowledges that it is its solemn duty and at
the same time a great pleasure to pay an
indemnity to Italy.
The king's government does not hesitate to
accept the indemnity without prejudice to the
judicial steps which it may be proper for the
parties to take, and considering the redress
obtained sufficient, it sees no reason why the
relations between the two governments,
which relations should faithfully reflect the
sentiments of reciprocal esteem and sym-
pathy that animate the two nations, should
not again become intimate, cordial and
friendly, as they have traditionally been in
the past, and as it is to be hoped they will ever
be in the future.
In bringing the foregoing to your knowl-
edge, in virtue of the authorization given me
by his excellency, the Marquis di Kudini,
president of the council, minister of foreign
affairs, in the name of the government of his
majesty, the king of Italy, my august sover-
eign, I have the honor to declare to your
excellency that the diplomatic relations be-
tween Italy and the United States are from
this moment fully re-established. I hasten,
moreover, in obedience to instructions re-
ceived, to inform you that, pending the minis-
ter's return to this capital, I have taken
charge of the royal legation in the capacity of
charge d'affaires. Be pleased to accept, etc.,
IMPERIALI.
Both the United States minister, the Hon.
A. G. Porter, and the Italian minister, Baron
Fava, have returned to their respective posts.
The former arrived in Rome May 31, 1892, and
the latter in Washington May 15, 1892.

BENJAMIN HARRISON.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR THE PRESI-
DENCY.
Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third president
of the United States, was born in North Bend,
O., Aug. 20, 1833. He is the grandson of Will-
iam Henry Harrison, ninth president of the
United States. He attended school near Cin-
cinnati, and was graduated at Miami univer-
sity. He studied law and was admitted to the
bar, after which he was appointed crier in the
federal court at Cincinnati, which brought
him $2 a day during term time.
In 1854 he removed to Indianapolis, Ind., in
which city he has since resided. He continued
the practice of his profession, and in 18t)0 was
elected reporter of the Supreme court. Upon
the breaking out of the war he recruited the
70th Indiana regiment and became its colonel.
He served with distinction for two years, when
the war department detailed him for special
service in Indiana. In five weeks be com-
pleted the work and was given the command
of a brigade and transferred to Nashville.
After Sherman reached Savannah Gen. Harri-
son was ordered to join him, which he did at
Goldsboro, N. C., where he remained until the
close of the war. He was mustered out of
the service in June, 1865, with the rank of
brigadier-general. Returning to civil life,
Gen. Harrison became a member of the law
firm of Porter, Harrison & Fishback. In 18W>
he was candidate for governor on the repub-
lican side, but was defeated. He was appointed
on the Mississippi river commission in 1879.
Mr. Harrison was elected United States sena-
tor for Indiana in 1880 as the successor of
Joseph E. McDonald, and took his seat on
March 4, 1881. His term of service expired

WHITELAW REID.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOB THE VICE-PRESI-
DENCY.
Whltelaw Reid was born in Xenia, O., in
October, 1837. His parents gave him a good
education. At 15 he entered the Miami uni-
versity at Oxford, Butler county. O., where
he was graduated in 185(5. He began the active
duties of life as principal of the graded schools
in South Charleston, Clark county, in the
same state, but did not continue in this occu-
pation long. In 1857 he bought the Xenia
News, and did such good work on that journal
as to give it a reputation wide as the state.
This led to his engagement by the Times and
Gazette of Cincinnati and the Herald of
Cleveland as their Columbus correspondent.
The war gave him an opportunity of distin-
guishing himself as a correspondent at the
front. He served the Cincinnati Gazette in
this capacity and in 1862 became a stockholder
of that journal, the publication of which he
assisted in subsequently in the capacity of as-
sociate editor. His connection with the New
York Tribune began with his being the editor
in charge of its Washington bureau. He
ventured upon the publication of a volume in
the year 1805. It was entitled "After the War
- A Southern Tour," and recorded observa-
tions made in company with Chief Justice
Chase on an extensive range of travel. Reid
published another book in 1868, "Ohio in the
War," a work of considerable length and
value. He became permanently an editor on
the staff of the Tribune in 1870, and when
Horace Greeley was a candidate for the pres-
idency assumed the position of managing
editor. Mr. Reid is a wealthy man. He mar-
ried the daughter of D. O. Mills, many times a
millionaire, and lives in fine style in an aris-
tocratic up-town district in New York. Presi-
dent Harrison appointed Mr. Reid minister
to France, and he has proved a successful and
exceedingly popular diplomate. In the spring
of 1892 Mr. Reid returned from France, having
resigned his position in Paris.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
PRESIDENT-ELECT OP THE UNITED STATES.
Grover Cleveland, twenty-second president
of the United States, was born at Caldwell,
N. J., March 18, 1837. His educational oppor-
tunities were at that time limited, and when
14 years old he removed with his parents to
Fayetteville, N. Y., where he began his career
as clerk in a store. Then came an opportu-
nity for Grover to attend a local academy,
and it was here he received training that
later in life led him to adopt the legal profes-
sion. Drifting westward, he became a student
in a law office at Buffalo, N. Y., and in May,
1859, he was admitted to the bar. His industry
and evident ability led to his appointment as
assistant district attorney when only 25 years
of age. He made such a record while in that
office that his name became a synonvm for
industry and honesty. Then followed in se-
quence of official terms of office his election
to the posts of sheriff of Erie county in 1870,
mayor of Buffalo in 1881, governor of New
York in 1882, president of the United States in
1884.
His first Waterloo came in 1888, when, nom
inated for a second term at the white house
by the St. Louis convention, he was defeated
by President Harrison by sixty-five electoral
votes. During the earlier part of his admin-
istration Mr. Cleveland was wedded to Miss
Frances Folsom of Buffalo, N. Y. The story
of how the ex-president wooed and won his
bride is somewhat romantic. She was the
daughter of Cleveland's former law partner.
It is said that Miss Folsom became engaged
to Mr. Cleveland about the time he began
his term as president. He had always held
her in fond regard since the -,ime he trotted
her on his knee when she was a little girl. He
treasured her picture all through the days of
his bachelorhood. Frances Folsom Cleveland
added vastly to the luster of Grover Cleve-
land's administration, endearing herself
almost to the extent of being idolized by a
large part of the American people. In Octo-
ber, 1891, a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland.
A. E. STEVENSON.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT-ELECT OP THE UNITED
STATES.
Mr. Stevenson was born in Christian county,
Ky., Oct 28, 1835, but belongs to an old North
Carolina family. His father was of Scotch-
Irish parentage, and during his residence in
Kentucky was a planter. In 1853 the family
removed to Bloomington, this state, and there
Mr. Stevenson commenced the study of law
in the office of R. E. Williams. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1S58, and soon after went
to Metamora, Woodford county. He settled
in that place for ten years. From 1861 to 1863
Mr. Stevenson was a master in chancery, and
from 1864 to 1868 was state's attorney. In 1868
he returned to Bloomington and formed a law
partnership with the Hon. James S. Ewing.
He was presidential elector in 1864, and ten
years later was nominated for congress from
the Bloomington district, at that time con-
sidered reliably republican by 3,000 majority.
To the surprise of the republicans this
majority was decreased 1,285. Again in 1876
Mr. Stevenson received a second nomination,
and while the party lines were more tightly
drawn in the presidential election he was
def3ated by only 250 plurality. Two years
later he carried every county- in the district.
His own county, that had given Hayes and
Garfleld 2,000 majority, gave him a majority.
In 1880 at another presidential election Mr.
Stevenson was defeated by only 200 votes. In
1882, when the state had been redistricted by
the republican legislature and not a doubtful
county was supposed to be left in the Bloom-
ington district, Mr. Stevenson, who had ac-
cepted a renomination, was defeated by only
350 votes. At the following election the old
opponent of Mr. Stevenson was elected by
2,700 majority. He was a delegate to the
democratic national convention of 1884, and
after the election of Grover Cleveland was
appointed first assistant postmaster-general.
Later he resumed the practice of law in
Bloomington. Mr. Stevenson was a delegate
to the present convention and chairman of
the Illinois delegation. In 1866 Mr. Stevenson
was married to Miss Letitia Green, daughter
of Dr. Louis Green, president of Center
college, Danville, Ky., and an eminent
Presbyterian minister.

enlisted as a private at the beginning of the
war and advanced in rank with a rapidity
equaled in very few cases. He was elected
first lieutenant of company G of the 2d Iowa
infantry, attained the rank of major Oct. 3,
1868, and as both his colonel and lieutenant
were killed at the battle of Corinth he was
made colonel. Finally he was brevetted briga-
dier-general "for gallantry on the field, to
date from March 13, 1863."
In 1866 he was elected district attorney of
the 2d judicial district of Iowa, and in 1867 was
appointed assessor of internal revenue for
the 5th district of the state, an office he held
for six years. He then edited the Iowa Trib-
une of Des Moines and was elected as an
independent republican to the XLVIth con-
gress. Men of his way of thinking, however,
were even then organizing a new party, and
in 1880 he became the greenbackers' candidate
for president. Excluding doubtful and fusion
tickets, he received 307,740 votes. He then re-
sumed private life and professional duties
for a time, but In 1884-6 was re-elected to con-
gress.
No man in th? Lth congress was better in-
formed on parliamentary rules, as he conclu-
sively proved by holding the house In a dead-
lock for several days on a question regarding
the Oklahoma reservation. Even then he
was regarded as a sort of stormy petrel in
politics, not a straight-out democrat, and cer-
tainly not a republican. In his first campaign
he scarcely had the backing of any party, and
his nomination was, In the politician's phrase,
"decidedly irregular," yet he made a cross-
roads canvass among the farmers and defeated
one of the brainiest republicans in the state.
In 184 the republican candidate, Capt.
Frank T. Campbell, was a national banker;
so the old greenbackers rallied to Gen.
Weaver, and in 1886 something else handi-
capped the republicans. Seeing him thus vic-
torious in a confessedly republican district.
the country began to look on Gen. Weaver as
a mascot, but in 1888 the republicans suc-
ceeded in uniting on a strong man and re-
manded the general to private life and peo-
ple's party politics.
GEN. JAMES FIELD.
THE PEOPLE'S PARTT NOMINEE FOB VICE-
PRESIDENT.
Gen. James Field, the vice-presidential
nominee of the people's party, was born in
ulpepper county, Virginia, in 1826, and spent
his boyhood there. He was educated a lawyer.
and became a democrat of "the old-fashioned
kind," as he puts It. In 1859 he was appointed
ommonwealth attorney for Culpepper
ounty. At the opening of the war, in April
of 1861, he resigned his position and volun-
teered with the Culpepper minute-men. That
company became noted for having a rattle-
snake for its emblem and "Don't Tread on
Me" for its motto. The company marched to
Harper's Ferry and assisted in the capture of
the federal arsenal.
Gen. Field was promoted from the ranks to
major in the Virginia forces and subsequently
was assigned to a position on the staff of Gen.
A. P. HiU. He was in the service from April
7, 1861, to the surrender at Appomattox, and
won distinction for his gallantry. He was
wounded at the first battle of Cold Harbor in
862 and again at Slaughter's Mountain (an
ngagement known in the north as the battle
of Cedar Creek) on Aug. 9. 1862. As a result of
the latter he lost his right leg below the knee,
and now uses an artificial limb and a crutch.
He was out of active service until May, 1863.
when he rejoined the army at Fredericksburg.
He was with the army in the Gettysburg cam-
paign, returned with it to Virginia, and was
continuously in service till the close of the
war.
After Lee's surrender Gen. Field resumed
the practice of law. In 1877 he was appointed
by the governor of Virginia to fill an unex-
pired term as attorney-general of the state,
and in November of that year he was elected
to congress for a full term of four years
beginning January 1, 1878. Since 1882 he has
been a practicing lawyer and a farmer, resid
ing on a considerable estate in Albemarle
county.
Though never a member of an alliance, a
grange or any other industrial organization.
Gen. Field has since 1885 proclaimed from the
stump throughout Virginia that redress for
the grievances of the people could only be had
through a reform organization. He held that
the influence of the party caucus had grown
superior to the will of the constituents of the
party and, therefore, unwise legislation could
neither be repealed nor prevented; therefore,
a new party was a necessity. Gen. Field is a
baptist, and has for some time been at the
head of the state organization of that church
in Virginia.
GEN. JOHN BIDWELL.
PROHIBITION CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESI-
DENCY.
John Bidwell was born in Chautauqua
county, New Fork, Aug. 5, 1819. In 1829 his
parents removed to Erie county. Pa., and in
1831 again removed to Ashtabula county,
Ohio, where he was educated at Kingsville
academy. During the winter of 1838-9 he
taught school in Darke county, and subse-
quently for two years in Missouri. In 1841 he
emigrated to California, being one of the first
to make the journey overland, which, at that
time, occupied six months. On the Pacific
coast he had charge of Bodega and Fort Russ,
and also of Gen Sutler's Feather river pos-
sessions. He served in the Mexican war
until its close, rising from second lieutenant
to major. He was among the first to discover
gold on Feather river in 1848. In 1849 he was a
member of the state constitutional conven-
tion and during the same year became a
member of the senate of the new state. He
was one of a committee appointed to convey
a block of gold-bearing quartz from California
to Washington in 1850. In 1860 he was a dele-
gate to the famous democratic national con-
vention at Charleston. Since then he has
been brigadier-general of the state militia. In
1864 he was elected to congress and served
from Dec. 4, 1865, to March 3, 18CT. He was a
delegate to the national convention of his
party in 1866. In 1875 he was candidate for
governor of California, but was defeated.

Mr. Cranflll was born in Parker county,
Texas, in 1857. He was raised on a farm, but
studied medicine and became a physician.
He started the Gatesville Advance, which he
published until 1886. In August of that year
he called the first prohibition party conven-
tion ever held in Texas.
In December, 1886, Dr. Cranflll moved to
Waco. Soon thereafter the great campaign
for constitutional prohibition began in Texas,
and Dr. Cranflll took a position at once as the
leading journalist on that side of the issue
and his paper was regarded as the principal
exponent or the amendment in Texas. The

Under his administration the mission work of
the state was doubled, and he has the distinc-
tion of having been the leader of the largest
state mission work ever done tn the history of
the United States. In January. 1890, Dr.

by the First Baptist church at Waco. In
March, 1892, he resigned his position as super-

GEORGE SHIRAS, JR.
JUSTICE OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT.
George Shiras, jr., Is 60 years old. He was
born in Pittsburg, Pa., In 1832. descends
from a well-known pioneer family and is a
cousin of ex-Secretary Blaine. His father
was a brewer and owned a brewery at the
Point. It is a landmark and still stands. In
1840 the elder Shiras retired from business,
having amassed a comfortable fortune. He
turned his attention to the education of his
children. Early in life the future Supreme
court justice showed that he was possessed of
an unusual order of Intellect. His mother
was a daughter of Dr. Francis E. Herron, the
first pastor of the First Presbyterian church .
Mr. Shiras is a graduate of Yale, of the class
of 1853, taking the Greek prize. He was a
classmate of Chauncey M. Depew and Presi-
dent White of Cornell. He returned to Pitts-
burg and began to read law with Judge
Hopewell Hepburn of the District court.
Judge Hepburn was considered one of the
legal lights of his time. After becoming a
member of the bar young Shiras went into
partnership with Judge Hepburn for a few
years.
About 1860 Mr. Shiras, who had acquired
considerable prestige as a lawyer by that
time, started out for himself. His career
since has been an almost unbroken series of
legal triumphs. He has figured in dozens of
cases that have been recorded as precedents.
His practice has been along many lines, and
he has frequently argued in the court to
which he has been called.
Mr. Shiras has been engaged in much im-
portant litigation. In the case of Hartupee
vs. the City of Pittsburg Mr. Shiras repre-
sented the city. A late case in which Mr.
yhiras was engaged was that of the Junction
railroad, in which the Supreme court affirmed
that railroad's right to c: oss the tracks of the
Allegheny Valley railroad at 43d street. Mr.
Shiras acted as counsel for the Monongahela
Navigation company in its case against the
government which asked for the condemna-
tion of lock No. 7. In the riot case of 1877 of
Gibson against Allegheny county for indem-
nity on goods destroyed during the riot Mr.
Shiras was one of the counsel for the county.
Mr. Shiras is the forty-sixth citizen ap-
pointed to the associate justiceship of the
Supreme court of the United States since its
organization in 1789. In that time there have
been eight chief justices. The first appoint-
ment to the bench from Pennsylvania was
James Wilson, the second Henry Baldwin of
Pittsburg, the third Robert Cooper Grier, the
fourth W. Strong, and Mr. Shiras is the fifth
from Pennsylvania.
ANDREW D. WHITE.
UNITED STATES MINISTER TO ST. PETERS-
BURG, RUSSIA.
Andrew Dlckson White, sclwlar, educator,
philanthropist, publicist and diplomatist, is a
native of New York state, having been born
in Homer, Cortland county, Nov. 7. 1832.
When 7 years of age he removed with his
family to Syracuse, where his boyhood and
youth were passed. His father was an enter-
prising business man, a banker and railroad
operator. In 1849 young Andrew entered
Hobart college at Geneva, remained one year
and then entered the class of 1853 at Yale,
which numbered among its members Edmund
Clarence Stedman, George W. Smalley and
Isaac H. Bromley. Upon the completion of
his college course he went abroad to study,
remaining nearly three years in the College of
France and the University of Berlin. He was
for several months an attache of the United
States legation at St. Petersburg during the
period embracing the most stirring events of
the Crimean war. He returned to America in
1856, and the following year became professor
of history and English literature in the Uni-
versity of Michigan. In 1861 he resigned the
professorship and went abroad for health and
study, remaining two years.
In 1863 Mr. White was elected a state senator
from the district comprising the counties of
Onondaga and Cortland, N. Y. In 1865 he was
re-elected. It was while in the senate in 1864
that he met Ezra Cornell. The latter was
wealthy and determined to found a college
"where any man could be educated in any
study" at Ithaca, N. Y. Mr. White aided him
in obtaining a state charter for the college
and then a United States land grant of 990,000
acres for its endowment.
Mr. White was elected the first president of
the university, and sketched the plans upon
which it was founded. He gave all his
strength, mental and physical, to the school
for many years.
After twenty years of service as president of
Cornell, Mr. White resigned in 1885. He is
still identified, however, with the university
as a trustee. During the last fifteen years of
his term as president of the college he found
time in which to serve his country in diplo-
matic labors. In 1871 he was one of the United
States commissioners to Santo Domingo. The
same year he was also chairman of the
republican state convention. In 1879 he was
appointed minister to Germany by President
Grant. He was held in esteem by the German
government at Berlin and was a man of influ-
ence. He was a delegate-at-large to the
national republican conventions of 1872, 1876
and 1884. Last September he was prominently
mentioned for governor before the New York
convention which nominated J. Sloat Fassett.
GEN. EUGENE A. CARR.
THE NE\V% BRIGADIER-GENERAL OF THE
ARMY.
Gen. Carr was born March 20, 1830, in Erie
county, New York. He was appointed as a
cadet at the military academy in September,
1846. He- was commissioned in the regular
service as second lieutenant June 30,1851; as
first lieutenant of cavalry March 3. 1S55; as
captain 4th cavalry June 11, 1858; as major 5th
cavalry July 17. 1862; as lieutenant-colonel 4th
cavalry Jan. 7, 1873, and as colonel 6th cavalry
April 29, 1879. During the war Gen. Carr re-
ceived the following brevets in the regular
service: That of lieutenant-colonel Aug. 10,
1861, for gallant and meritorious service in the
battle of Wilson Creek, Mo.; that of colonel
May 18, 1863, for gallant and meritorious serv-
ice in the action of the Black River Bridge,
Miss.; that of brigadier-general March 13, 1865,
for gallant and meritorious service in the
capture of Little Rock, Ark., and that of
major-general March 13, 1865, for gallant and
meritorious service during the war. The

record of Gen. Carr has been a long, faithful
and active one, and from its beginning, with
two expeditions to the Rocky mountains in
1852-8, through several Indian engagements in
1800, down to and including the war of the
rebellion, his services as an officer of the
army have been of the highest order. During
the war of the rebellion Gen. Carr partici-
pated in many of the battles of the union
army, and displayed daring, coolness and
judgment which won for him the praise of his
senior officers and the gratitude of the people
of the north.
Since the war Gen. Carr has led several suc-
cessful expeditions against the Indians in the
southwest and northwest, For these opera-
tions he received joint resolutions of thanks
from the legislatures of Nebraska and Colo-
rado. He served in the regular army in Ari-
zona several years and in the northwest un-
der Gen. Merntt in 1876. During the railway
riot in Chicago in 1877 he commanded a cav-
alry battalion. In the fall of 1879 he was pro-
moted to the colonelcy of the 6th cavalry,
then stationed in New Mexico. The 6th cav-
alry is now stationed at Fort Niobrara.
Up to date Gen. Carr has held twenty-nine
commands ranking higher than his command
at the time. He was four times wounded and
participated in thirty-eight battles, of which
sixteen were with Indians and fourteen since
the close of the rebellion.
When the Sioux outbreak of February, 1891,
occurred Gen. Carr and his regiment were
stationed at San Francisco, but such was his
record as an Indian fighter that as soon as the
outbreak assumed importance he was ordered
to the scene with his men, and to him was
largely due the favorable termination of the
outbreak.
AUGUSTUS G. WEISSERT.
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OP THE GRAND ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC.
Augustus Gordon Weissert was born at Can-
ton, O., Aug. 17, 1844. He attended the schools
at Racine, Wis., the state of his adoption.
Graduating from the Racine high school he
entered the University of Michigan. He was
distinguished in his studies and bore off the
degree of LL. D. He was admitted to prac-
tice in Wisconsin, and was winning fame at
the Milwaukee bar when the war broke out.
As soon as the tocsin sounded he enlisted in
the 8th Wisconsin infantry, the " Live-Eagle "
regiment of history, and shared its fortunes
till the battle of Nashville. There he was
grievously wounded, receiving a bullet just
over the knee, which he still carries. Conva-
lescing sufficiently to rejoin his regiment, he
did so on crutches. After four years' gallant
service he was brevetted captain from the
date of the battle of Lake Chicol, Ark., June 6,
1864, for meritorious service in that fight and
at the battle of Nashville on Dec. 15 following,
and for extraordinary bravery throughout the
Red river expedition. He refused the tender
of a West Point cadetship by reason of his
wound. He joined the Grand Army of the Re-
public at Madison, Wis., in 1866, and has filled
creditably every position from comrade and
officer of the day up to department com-
mander. He has since been called upon to ad-
minister the office of commander-in-chief . He
was chairman of the executive council of the
citizens' committee that made the twenty-
third national encampment at Milwaukee a
success. At the Detroit encampment he re-
ceived the second highest number of votes for
the office to which he has been elected. In the
capacity of senior vice-commander he visited
all the departments of the east in company
with Commander-in-Chief R. A. Palmer. Just
now he is a member of E. B. Wolcott post of
Milwaukee.
ABRAHAM J. SEAT.
GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.
The appointment of Judge Abraham Jeffer-
son Seay as governor of Oklahoma territory
gives general satisfaction, and he has been
congratulated heartily by men of all parties,
who have long admired him for his energy
and probity of character. Gov. Seay was born
in Amherst county, Virginia, Nov. 28, 1832.
When he was 3 years old his parents
moved to Osage county, Missouri. His early
education was very limited, and when he
reached the age of 21 he could scarcely more
than read and write. He started out with a
determination to win, however, and surely he
has succeeded. Working by the day he earned
sufficient money to pay nis way through the
Steeleville (Mo.) academy, and then studied
law in the same town, paying his way by his
own exertions. He was admitted to the bar
three days before the firing on Fort Sumter,
and, though most of his people sided with the
confederacy, he soon enlisted in the union
army and marched away for four years of
hard work and fighting. He entered as a pri-
vate, but in August, 1864, he was mustered out
a colonel of the 32d infantry, Missouri volun-
teers. He then began the practice of law at
Steeleville, and in the course of time was
county attorney, circuit attorney and circuit
judge, sitting on the bench in the latter
capacity twelve years. All the time he was an
active republican, on the stump in every cam-
paign, and twice ran for congress against
Richard Bland, the great silver champion. In
May, 1890, he was appointed associate justice
of the Supreme court of Oklahoma, and until
appointed governor filled that position with
honor to himself and satisfaction to the peo-
ple of the territory.
BISHOP W. PERKINS.
UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
Bishop W. Perkins was born at Rochester,
O., Oct. 18, 1832. He was educated in the public
schools and at Knox college, Galesburg, 111.
After leaving college he went to Colorado,
and on his return in 1862 enlisted in company
D, 83d Illinois volunteer infantry. He served
as sergeant and lieutenant, and in December,
1863, was appointed adjutant of the 16th Colo-
rado infantry. Later he was assigned to duty
as captain of company C of the same regi-
ment. He served as judge-advocate on the
staff of Gen. Gillem, and also in the same
position on the staff of Gen. Steadman; was
mustered out at Nashville in May, 1866; re-
turned to Illinois, and resumed the study of
law, reading with O. C. Gray at Ottawa.
After being admitted to the bar in 1867 he
located at Pierceton, Ind., wheie he remained
until he went to Oswego, Kas., in April, 1869.

THE BERING SEA DISPUTE.
THE BERING SEA DISPUTE.
Our account of the differences in connec-
tion with the seal fisheries between the
United States and Great Britain in the
Daily News Almanac for 1892 (page 44) closed
with the agreement between the two countries
for the appointment of a joint high commis-
sion which should settle finally the matter in
dispute.
Considerable delay took place in the sign-
ing of the treaty for a joint commission, and
it was not until Feb. 29, 1892, that it was for-
mally signed, but it was not ratified by the
United States senate until a month later. The
number of arbitrators was increased from five
to seven. The joint commission spent several
months in Bering sea gathering all the infor-
mation possible to bear on the proposed arbi-
tration. It was expected that the four com-
missioners would be able to f ormul ate a joint
report that would be accepted by the board of
arbitration as an ultimate criterion of all
points raised regarding the seal industry.
The report of the commission was not satis-
factory, and no agreement between the two
countries was arrived at. It was shown, how-
ever, that since Alaska came into the posses-
sion of the United States the number of seals
had gradually diminished, and this decrease
was shown to be due to the destruction of the
animals by sealers. There was a disagree-
ment as to the source of this destruction, the
United States commissioners charging it to
the deep-sea killing carried on by Canadian
sealers, while the British representatives at-
tributed it to the killing of seals permitted
under contract by the United States treasury.
A new difficulty now arose, for it was ap-
parent that whatever might be the result
reached by the commissioners or arbitrators it
could not be reached in time to be operative
during the sealing season which was ap-
proaching. Steps were at once taken by the
United States to secure a continuance or the
modus vivendi, which would expire on the 1st
of May, 1892. To protect our own rights the
president issued on the 19th of February. 1892.
a proclamation warning all persons of their
liability to arrest and punishment if they
should be found sealing in Bering sea in viola-
tion of the laws of the United States.
The British government opposed the re-
newal of the modus vivendi as requested by
the United States. Lord Salisbury based his
refusal upon the rep9rt of the British com-
missioners that sealing in the open sea
would not endanger the destruction of the
species, and he objected to another year's
suspension of the industry which was impor-
tant to Canada. Lord Salisbury, however,
proposed that sealing should be prohibited
within thirty miles of the Pribilof islands and
that the catch by Americans in those islands
should be limited to 30 000 seals. On the 29th
of February, 1893, a treaty was signed in Wash-
ington by Mr. Elaine on the part of the United
States and Sir Julian Pauncefote on the part
of Great Britain, by which the whole contro-
versy was relegated to an international arbi-
tration commission to be composed of seven
members. On the 8th of March the treaty
was sent to the senate for ratification, but
the president and his cabinet decided to main-
tain its demand for a renewal of the modus
vivendi. The points to be submitted to arbi-
tration were set out in the sixth article of the
treaty as follows:
1. What exclusive jurisdiction in the sea
known as the Bering sea. and what exclusive
rights in the seal fisheries therein did Russia
assert and exercise prior and up to the time
of the cession of Alaska to the United States?
2. How far were these claims of jurisdiction
as to the seal fisheries recognized and con-
ceded by Great Britain?
3. Was the body of water now known as
Bering sea included in the phrase "Pacific
ocean" as used in the treaty of 1825 between
Great Britain and Russia, and what rights, if
any, in Bering sea were held and exclusively
exercised by Russia after said treaty?
4. Did not all the rights of Russia as to juris-
diction and as to the seal fisheries in Bering
sea east of the water boundary, in the treaty
between the United States and Russia of the
30th of March, 18CT, j>ass unimpaired to the
United States under that treaty?
5. Has the United States any right, and if so
what right, of protection of property in the
fur seals frequenting the islands of the
United States in Bering sea when such seals
are found outside the ordinary three-mile
limit? These points were to be decided by
seven arbitrators, two to be named by the
president, two by the queen, one by the presi-
dent of the French republic and one each by
the king of Italy and the king of Sweden and
were to meet in Paris.
The treaty did not touch the question of
damages for illegal sealing on the one hand
or for illegal seizure of vessels on the other.
This, however, was settled by an agreement
between Mr. Blaine and Lord Salisbury under
which the claims for damages followed the
award of the commission. No answer had
been returned to our demand for a renewal of
the modus vivendi of March 8 and on the Kith
Lord Salisbury's attention was again called
to the subject. On the 19th of March Lord
Salisbury replied, declining to renew the
modus vivendi for various reasons. The
president on the 22d of March replied very
vigorously to Lord Salisbury and declared
that the United States should insist upon the
right to prevent deep-sea sealing as a matter
of "honor and self-respect." He further said :
"If her majesty's government proceeds during
the sealing season upon the basis of its con-
tention as to the rights of the Canadian seal-
ers no choice is left this government but to
proceed upon the basis of its confident con-
tention that pelagic sealing in Bering sea is
an infraction of its jurisdiction and property
rights." For a time it looked as if the differ-
ences between the United States and Great
Britain would become serious and it was not
until Lord Salisbury's reply to the president's
note of the 22d, which was received on the
26th, that matters assumed a more pacific ap-
pearance. In this note Lord Salisbury ex-
pressed a willingness to agree to a renewal of
the modus vivendi on the condition that the
nation which was defeated in the arbitration
should pay to the other such damages as
might be assessed by the commission as a
result of a suspension of sealing. The ques-
tion of damages was settled to the satisfac-
tion of both governments and on the 18th of
April Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote concluded a new modus vivendi provid-
ing for a close season, as did that of 1891, but
including the agreements as to damages, and it
was sent to the senate April 19, 1892.
Briefly stated, these articles prohibit the
British and Americans from seal-killing in
Bering sea and islands, save 7.000 seals to be
taken on the islands for the subsistence of
the natives during the arbitration, provide
for the seizure of offending vessels and per-
mit the residence of British agents on the
islands during the season. Articles 3 and f>
read as follows:
"Article 3. If the result of the arbitration
be to affirm the right of British sealers to
take seals in Bering sea within the bounds
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
claimed by the United States under its pur-
chase from Russia, then compensation shall
be made by the United States to Great Britain
for th'j use of her subjects for abstaining
from the exercise of that right during the
pendency of the arbitration upon the basis of
uch a regulated and limited catch or catches
as in the opinion of the arbitrators might
have been taken without an undue diminu-
tion of the seal herds, and on the other hand,
f the result of the arbitration shall be to
deny the right of British sealers to take seals
within the said waters, then compensation
shall be made by Great Britain to the United
States (for itself, its c!tizens and lessees) for
this agreement, to limit the island catch to
7,500 seals upon the basis of the difference
between their number and such larger catch
as in the opinion of the arbitrators might
have been taken without an undue diminu-
tion of the seal herd. The amount awarded,
f any, in either case shall be such as, under
all the circumstances, is just and equitable
and shall be promptly paid.
"Article 6. This convention may be re-
nounced by either of the high contracting
parties at any time after the 31st day of
October, 1893, on giving to the parties two
months' notice of its termination and at the
expiration of this notice the convention shall
cease to be in force."
The seventh and last article simply provides
for the exchange of ratifications as early as
possible.
The ratification of the treaty of arbitration
and the modus Vivendi were exchanged in
London May 7.
Of the seven arbitrators mentioned in the
treaty six have already been chosen. The
United States arbitrators are Justice John M.
Harlan of the United States Supreme court
and Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama.
The British arbitrators are Lord Hannen and
Sir John S. D. Thompson, Canadian minister
ofjustlce.
The counsel of the United States consists of
Edward J. Phelps of Vermont, ex-minister to
Great Britain, and Judge Henry W. Blodgett
of Chicago. The British government will be
represented by Mr. C. Robinson of Toronto,
Canada, and Sir W. H. Cross, member of the
British parliament. France selected as arbi-
trator Senator Baron de Courcelles and Italy
Marquis Visconti Venosta.
THE DIFFICULTY WITH CHILE.
A very grave trouble, that at one time
.hreatened war between the United States
and Chile, was settled during the last year
with great credit to our own government.
During the Chilean rebellion the insurgents
conceived a great dislike of the United states
for the supposed complicity of Mr. Egan, the
United States minister at Valparaiso, with
Balmaceda, the president of Chile. The
defeat of the president and his subsequent
suicide intensified the dislike of the successful
.nsurgents against the United States. The
United States man-of-war Baltimore was dis-
patched to Valparaiso to protect American
interests in that country. The Baltimore was
therefore in the harbor at Valparaiso by
virtue of that general Invitation which
nations are held to extend to the war vessels
of other powers with which they have friendly
relations. The vessel reached the harbor of
Valparaiso Sept. 14, 1891, and the city officials
extended the hospitalities of the city to its
officers and crew, as is customary. The inci-
dents that led to the difficulty are given in
detail in the message of the president to con-
gress Jan. 26, 1892, as follows:
"On the 16th of October last Capt. Schley,
commanding the United States steamship
Baltimore, gave shore leave to 117 petty
officers and sailors of his ship. These men
left the ship about 1:30 p. m. No incident of
violence occurred; none of our men was
arrested; no complaint was lodged against
them; nor did any collision or outbreak occur
until about 6 o'clock p. m. Capt. Schley states
that he was himself on shore and about the
streets of the city until 5:30 p. m.; that he met
very many of his men who were on leave;
that they were sober and were conducting
themselves with propriety, saluting Chilean
and other officers as they met them. Other
officers of the ship and Capt. Jenkins of the
merchant ship Keweenaw corroborate Capt.
Schley as to the general sobriety and good
behavior of our men. The sisters of charity
at the hospital to which our wounded men
were taken, when inquired of, stated that
they were sober when received. If the situa-
tion had been otherwise we must believe that
the Chilean police authorities would have
made arrests.
"About 6 p. m. the assault began, and it Is
remarkable that the investigation by the
judge of crimes, though so protracted, does
not enable him to give any more satisfactory
account of its origin than is found in the
statement that it began between drunken
sailors. Repeatedly in the correspondence it
is asserted that it was impossible to learn the
precise cause of the riot. The minister of for-
eign affairs, Matta, in his telegram to Mr.
Montt, under date Dec. 31, states that the
quarrel began between two sailors in a tavern
and was continued in the street, persons who
were passing joining in it. The testimony of
Talbot, an apprentice who was with Riggin, is
that the outbreak in which they were involved
began by a Chilean sailor spitting in the face
of Talbot, which was resented by a knock-
down. It appears that Riggin and Talbot
were at the time unaccompanied by any oth-
ers of their shipmates.
"These two men were immediately beset by a
crowd of Chilean citizens and sailors, through
which they broke their way to a street car and
entered It for safety. They were pursued,
driven from the car, and Riggin was so seri-
ously beaten that he fell in the street ap-
parently dead.
"There is nothing in the report of the Chilean
investigation made to us that seriously im-
peaches this testimony. It appears from Chil-
ean sources that almost instantly, with a sud-
denness that strongly implies premeditation
and preparation, a mob, stated by the police
authorities at one time to number 2,000 and at
another 1,000, was engaged in the assault upon
our sailors, who are represented as resisting
'with stones, clubs, and bright arms.' The
report of the intendente of Oct. 30 states that
the fight began at 6 p. m. in three streets,
which are named, that information was re-
ceived at the intendencia at 6:15, and that the
police arrived on the scene at 6:30, a full half
hour after the assault began. At that time, he
says, a mob of 2.000 men had collected and
that for several squares there was the appear-
ance of ' a real battlefield.'
"The scene at this point is very graphically
set before us by the Chilean testimony. The
American sailors, who, after so long an ex-
amination, have not been found guilty of any
breach of the peace so far as the Chilean
authorities are able to discover, unarmed and
defenseless, are fleeing for their lives, pursued
by overwhelming numbers and fighting only
THE DIFFICULTY WITH CHILE.
to aid their own escape from death or to
succor some mate whose life is in greater
peril. Eighteen of them are brutally stabbed
and beaten, while one Chilean seems, from
the report, to have suffered some injury; but
how serious or with what character of weapon,
or whether by a missile thrown by our men or
by some of his fellow-rioters, is unascer-
tained."
In the Chilean investigation that followed
that government made the most strenuous
efforts to show that the difficulty was brought
on by the sailors, but the great preponderance
of evidence shows that the assault was com-
mitted by an excited mob of Chileans actuated
solely and only by a hatred of the uniforms
the men wore and of the flag under which
they served.
The judicial inquiry in Chile terminated
Jan. 8, 1892, having been instituted Oct. 17, 1891.
It was presided over by Judge Henry Foster
of the Criminal court of Valparaiso. This
court reported: "1. That the incident origi-
nated in a brawl between intoxicated sailors
of both nations. The riot grew in proportions
on account of the special ward in which it
occurred, full of houses of bad reputation and
sailors. 2. The policemen from the first
moment did all they were expected to do to
suppress the riot. The correct course of the
police has been acknowledged by every one of
the witnesses and of the American sailors,
except two. 3. Only one isolated shot was
fired. It was from a revolver. The police are
armed with carbines."
There is a wide difference between the find-
ings of the Chilean court and the result of the
inquiry by the officers of the Baltimore. The
report or the medical officer of the vessel
states that Riggin was killed by a rifle ball, and
there was abundant evidence to prove that the
attack was premeditated and that the sailors
were assaulted in six different places at about
the same time. Capt. Schley states that in an
interview with Judge Foster soon after the
riot the latter said that the riot was caused by
the hatred that the lower class of Chileans
had for Americans because of the belief that
the Americans had aided or sympathized with
Balmaceda through the Chilean struggle.
Chile made no offer to apologize for the un-
justifiable affront to the dignity of the United
states, but after three months of delay made
the claim that the chain of legal formalities
was not yet complete, but that other links still
remained in the shape of a trial before the
judge of crimes on the indictments of some
men who had been arrested for the riot.
President Harrison therefore decided that
the time had come when further delay in a
reparation on the part of Chile could not be
permitted. Such was the condition when con-
gress convened. The publication in Chile of
that part of his message to congress that bore
on this matter aroused considerable resent-
ment in Chile, and on Dec. 1 1, 1891, the then min-
ister of foreign affairs. Senor Manuel Matta,
not only stated that the American minister
and consul at Valparaiso had concealed testi-
mony which might have cleared up the matter,
but he also addressed a circular to the
Chilean legations in the United States and
Europe accusing the American minister and
the American naval officers of making reports
to Washington that were deliberately false
and of engaging in intrigues for creating
trouble between the two countries.
THE MATTA CIRCULAR.
The premier's circular was as follows :
"Having read the portion of the report of
the secretary of the navy and of the message
of the president of the United States I think
proper to inform you that the statements on
which both report and message are based are
erroneous or deliberately incorrect. With re-
spect to the persons to whom an asylum has
been granted, they have never been threat-
ened with cruel treatment, nor has it been
sought to remove them from the legation, nor
has their surrender been asked for. Never
has the house or the person of the plenipoten-
tiary, notwithstanding indiscretions and de-
liberate provocations, been subjected to any
offense, as is proved by the eleven notes of
September, October and'November.
"With respect to the seamen of the Balti-
more there is, moreover, no exactness or sin-
cerity in what is said at Washington. The
occurrence took place in a bad neighborhood
of the city, the maintop of Valparaiso, add
among people who are not models of distire-
tion and temperance. When the police and
other forces interfered and calmed the tumult
there were already several hundred people
there and it was ten squares or more from
the place where it had begun.
"Mr. Egan sent, on the 26th of October, a
note that was aggressive in purpose and viru-
lent in language, as is seen by the copy and
the note written in reply on the 27th.
"On the 18th the preliminary examination
had already been commenced; it had been de-
layed owingto the non-appearance of the offi-
cers of the Baltimore and owing to undue pre-
tensions and refusals of Mr. Egan himself.
No provocation has ever been accefted or in-
itiated by this department. Its attitude, while
it has ever been one of firmness and prudence,
has never been one of aggressiveness, nor
will it ever be one of humiliation, whatever
may be or has been said at Washington by
those who are interested in justifying their
conduct or who are blinded by erroneous
views.
"The telegrams, notes and letters which
have been sent to yott contain the truth, the
whole truth, in connection with what has
taken place in these matters, in which ill-W!ll
and the consequent words and pretensions
have not emanated from this department.
Mr. Tracy and Jlr. Harftson have beeti led
into error in respect to our people and goTern-
ment; the instructions (recommending) impar-
tiality and friendship have not been complied
with, either now or before. If no -official
complaint has baen made against the minister
and the naval officers it is because the facts,
public and notorious both in Chile and the
United States, could not, although they were
well proved, be urged by our confidential
agents. Proof of tbis is furnished by the de-
mands of Balmaceda and the concessions
made in June and July, the whole Itata case,
the San Francisco at Quintero and the cabfe
companies. The statement that the North
American seamen were attacked in various
localities at the same time is deliberately in-
correct.
"As the preliminary examination is not yet
concluded it is not yet known who and how
many the guilty parties are. You no doubt
have the note of Nov.!), written in reply to Min-
ister Egan, in which 1 request him to furnish
testimony which he would not give, although
he had said that he had evidence showing who
the murderer was and who the other guilty
parties of the 16th of October were. That and
all other notes will be published here. You
will publish a translation of them in the
United States. Deny In the meantime every-
thing that does not agree with these state-
ments, being assured of their exactness, as we
are of the right, the dignity, and the final suc-
cess of Chile, notwithstanding the intrigues
which proceed from so low (a source) and the
threats which come from so hi<rh (a source)."
This circular was permitted to go for a month
unnoticed and it was not until it had been
transmitted to the Chilean congress and had
been officially published hi the newspapers.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
becoming thus a public document, that our
government felt called upon to accord to it
the notice it demanded. No other document
in all the correspondence was so fraught with
danger. Its reflections upon the honor of the
American civil and naval officers in Chile and
ts language concerning President Harrison
and Secretary Tracy aroused universal indig
nation in the United States. The government
of Chile saw that the circular was a great mis-
take and it was withdrawn.
On Jan. 21, 1892. the ultimatum of the United
States was served by Secretary Blaine on the
Chilean government through its representative
in Washington, Senor Pedro Montt. The
same day Minister Egan was cabled full in-
formation of the status of affairs.
THE ULTIMATUM.
The ultimatum contained three specific de-
mands:
_. That an apology should be given for the
murderous assault upon the sailors of the
Baltimore in the streets of Valparaiso.
2. That an indemnity should be given to the
sailors who had been injured and to the fami-
lies of those who had been killed.
3. That the insulting circular of Minister
Matta should be absolutely withdrawn.
No answer having been received up to noon
of Jan. 25, four days after the ultimatum had
been delivered, the president sent to congress
the whole volume of official correspondence
relating to the subject matter of the dispute.
The next day it came up for consideration. A
note of explanation and apology from the
Chilean government,in reply to the ultimatum
of Jan. 21, had actually been sent on the very
day that the president sent his message to
congress. It had not, however, been received
by the president, nor had our government any
indication of its character. Chile's answer to
the ultimatum .of the United States proved
satisfactory to our government. It contained
a complete apology for the Baltimore incident,
and its whol e tone gave evidence of the anxi-
ety of Chile to end the difficulty on terms ac-
ceptable to the United States. All the de-
mands of the ultimatum were unconditionally
granted; the Chilean authorities offered to
leave to the United States Supreme court the
question of reparation to the victims of the
mob in Valparaiso. The offensive Matta circu-
lar and the demand for Mr. Egan's recall were
withdrawn with adequate expressions of re-
gret and with an emphatic declaration that
Chile desired none but the most friendly re-
lations with the United States. This concilia-
tory reply disposed of all the points at issue,
and the president, in transmitting it to con-
gress Jan. 28. 1892, intimated that further ne-
gotiations might now be safely committed to
the executive branch of the government.
Seventy-five thousand dollars were paid by
Chile to be distributed among the heirs of the
two sailors who were killed and to compensate
those who were injured.
UNITED STATES AND CANADA-RETALIATION.
On the 20th of June, 1892, the president sent
to congress a message recommending retalia-
tion on the Dominion of Canada for an unjust
discrimination against American vessels nav-
igating Canadian canals. On the 21st of July
following congress passed an act authorizing
the president to retaliate on Canada for such
discrimination, and on the 20th of August the
president issued the following proclamation:
THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, By an act of congress, approved
July 26, 1892, entitled "An act to enforce
reciprocal commercial relations between the
United States and Canada, and for other pur-
poses," it is provided "that, with a view of
securing reciprocal advantages for the citi-
zens, ports and vessels of the United States
on and after the 1st day of August, 1892,
whenever and so often as the president shall
be satisfied that the passage through any
canal or lock connected with the navigation
of the St. Lawrence river, the great lakes, or
the waterways connecting the same, of any
vessels of the United States, or of cargoes or
passengers in transit to any port of the United
States, is prohibited or is made difficult or
burdensome by the imposition of tolls or oth-
erwise, which, in view of the free passage
through the St. Mary's Falls canal now per-
mitted to vessels of all nations, he shall deem
to be reciprocally unjust and unreasonable,
he shall have the power and it shall be his
duty to suspend by proclamation to that effect
for such time and to such extent, including
absolute prohibition, as he shall deem right,
the right of free passage through the St.
Mary's Falls canal so far as it relates to the
vessels owned by the subjects of the govern-
ment so discriminating against the citizens,
ports or vessels of the United States or to
any cargoes, portions of cargoes or passen-
gers in transit to the ports of the government
making such discrimination, whether carried
in vessels of the United States or of other
nations. In case and during such suspension
tolls shall be levied, collected and paid as
follows, to-wit: Upon freight of whatever
kind or description, not to exceed $2 per ton;
upon passengers, not to exceed $5 each, as
shall be from time to time determined by the
president.
Provided, That no tolls shall be charged or
collected upon freight or passengers carried
to and landed at Ogdensburg or any port west
of Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn from
the northern boundary of the state of New
York through the St. Lawrence river, the
great lakes, and their connecting channels, to
the northern boundary of the state of Minne-
sota.
Sec. 2. All tolls so charged shall be collected
under such regulations as shall be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury, who may
require the master of each vessel to furnish a
sworn statement of the amount and kind of
cargo, the number of passengers carried, and
the destination of the same, and such proof of
the actual delivery of such cargo or passen-
gers at some port or place within the limits
above named as he shall deem satisfactory,
and until such proof is furnished such freight
and passengers may be considered to have
been landed at some port or place outside of
those limits, and the amount of tolls which
would have accrued if they had been so
delivered shall constitute a lien, which may
be enforced against the vessel in default
wherever and whenever found in the waters
of the United States; and
Whereas. The government of the Dominion
of Canada imposes a toll amounting to 20
cents a ton on all freight passing through the
Welland canal in transit to a port of the
United States and also a further toll on all
vessels of the United States and on all passen-
gers in transit to a port of the United States,
all of which tolls are without rebate; and
Whereas, The government of the Dominion
of Canada, in accordance with an order in
council April 4, 1892. refunds 18 cents per ton
of the 20-cent toll at the Welland canal on

wheat. Indian corn, peas, barley, rye, oats,
flaxseed and buckwheat, upon condition that
they are originally shipped tor and carried to
Montreal or some port east of Montreal for
export, and that if trans-shipped at inter-
mediate points such trans-shipment is made
within the Dominion of Canada, but allows
no such nor any other rebate on said products
when shipped to a port of the United States
or when carried to Montreal for export if
trans-shipped within the United States; and
Whereas, The government of the Dominion
of Canada, by said system of rebate and
otherwise, discriminat* s against the citizens
of the United States in the use of said Welland
canal in violation of the provisions of article
27 of the treaty of Washington, concluded
May 8. 1871 ; and
Whereas, Said Welland canal is connected
with the navigation of the great lakes, and I
am satisfied that the passage through it of
cargoes in transit to ports of the United
States is made difficult and burdensome by
said discriminating system of rebate and
otherwise, and is reciprocally unjust and un-
reasonable; now, therefore, I, Benjamin
Harrison, president of the United States of
America, by virtue of the power to that end
conferred upon me by said act of congress,
approved July 20, 1892, do hereby direct that
from and after Sept. 1, 1892, until further
notice, a toll of 20 cents per ton be levied,
collected, and paid on all freight of whatever
cind or description passing through the St.
Mary's Falls canal in transit to any port of
the Dominion of Canada, whether carried in
vessels of the United States or of other
nations, and to that extent I do hereby sus-
pend from and after said date the right of free
passage through said St. Mary's Falls canal pf
any and all cargoes or portions of cargoes in
transit to Canadian ports. In testimony
whereof, etc. BENJAMIN HARRISON.
HISTORT OF THE DIFFICULTY.
May 30, 1890, the steamer J. R. Langdon, of
.he Ogdensburg Transit company, left Chicago
with 36,500 bushels of corn destined for export
bo foreign countries via Montreal. The grain
was to be trans-shipped at Ogdensburg, instead
Kingston, as it had been from time im-
memorial. On the St. Lawrence river route,
by which grain is sent to foreign countries,
he transfer from lake vessels to St. Lawrence
iver barges, which are shallow enough to
jass through the St. Lawrence river canals,
las been made for many years at Kingston,
t was the principal industry of that Canadian
own on the north shore of Lake Ontario.
The grain was transferred from lake vessels
,o river barges by means of floating elevators.
When there were no barges at hand the lake
vessels had to wait until some came back from
Montreal. When the barges reached Mont-
p eal before the ocean steamers had arrived
which were to take the grain across the
Atlantic the barges lay ar<5und Montreal
larbor until the ocean steamers were ready,
t was a primitive way of handling grain, but
he Canadians, whose conservatism is pro-
-erbial, were indisposed to adopt any other.
It was in the spring of 1890 that the Ogdens-
>urg Transit company, which had built ele-
vators and followed the modern methods in
he grain trade at Ogdensburg. a town farther
lown on the St. Lawrence river, entered the
leld as a competitor in the Montreal grain
,rade. From the first shippers took most
dndly to Ogdensburg as the place of transfer,
t enabled them to have their boats unloaded
juickly, and the grain -was held in elevators
until the ocean steamer which was to take it
Tom Montreal was about ready to receive it.
Lake vessels made the run of sixty miles Irom
Kingston to Ogdenshurg without extra charge
owing to the rapidity with which they could
be unloaded at the latter point. St. Lawrence
river barges, which were compelled to pass
Ogdensburg on their way to Kingston, saved a
tow of 120 miles by stopping at Ogdensburg
and taking their grain from there. The charges
by the new route were made the same as from
Kingston. During 1890 450,414 bushels of corn
and 25,000 bushels of oats were sent abroad
over the St. Lawrence river route which was
transferred at Ogdensburg. The Canadian
government at the beginning of the trade by
Ogdensburg allowed that city the same ad-
vantages as it had been giving Kingston. On
the grain which was bound for export by the
way of Montreal a rebate of 18 cents of the 29
cents per ton canal tolls levied at the Welland
canal was allowed and a "let-pass" was issued
permitting the grain to go through all the
lower Canadian canals to Montreal without
further toll.
The initial season of the Ogdensburg route
indicated plainly that Kingston would soon
lose her grain trade. At this juncture the
Canadian elections came on. Sir John Mac-
donald's home borough was Kingston. He
pledged his constituents, if they gave him
their votes, so to manipulate canal tolls that
Kingston would no longer fear the deadly
competition of the American port of Ogdens-
burg. He kept his promise, and an order in
council was issued in the spring of 1891 that
canal tolls would no longer be rebated on the
grain trans-shipped from lake vessels to river
barges unless at a Canadian port. This mani-
fest discrimination against Americans in the
use of Canadian canals on the same terms as
all other nations has never been explained.
It was a high-handed act taken by the Domin-
ion cabinet because it was thought that the
American city of Ogdensburg could not help
herself. Kingston did not make a move to in-
troduce modern methods in the handling of
her grain trade. She relied solely upon the
puissance of Sir John Macdonald, whom she
had returned to parliament and to power.
The Ogdensburg people did not give up the
struggle. Shippers were anxious to send their
grain by that route, and with the belief that
the American government would come to
their aid they kept on in the Montreal grain
trade during the spring of 1891. The full Wel-
land canal tolls were paid by the Ogdensburg
people and the St. Lawrence river canal tolls
were also paid on this grain. It was hoped
that the American government would make a
stand against the discrimination and that the
tolls would be finally rebated. When Septem-
ber came and not a move had been made, the
Ogdensburg people gave up the contest. Up
to that time in 1891 they had handled from
Chicago 321,495 bushels of corn and 206.418
bushels of wheat. This business had been
done at a heavy loss.
It was nearly six months after Ogdensburg
had retired from the Montreal grain trade
that President Harrison finally saw the dis-
crimination of which the Canadians were
guilty. Then came his message to congress
advising retaliation on Canadian commerce
passing through the American canal at Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich., and Senator Davis' bill put-
ting retaliatory measures into effect.
The retaliation was a body blow to the Can-
adians. If they insist upon continuing the or-
der in council which has driven Ogdensburg
from the grain trade, the losses of the Cana-
dian marine will be beyond computation. The
great bulk of the wheat raised in Manitor>a
find* its way to Lake Superior ports and is
from there shipped by wat^r to the lower
lakes. A heavy toll at Sault Ste. Marie will
drive all this grain to American ports and it
ill then be shipped in American vessels in
bond throu-rh t!ie United Stnt s. Tho Cana-

Jian Pacific operates a line of passenger
steamers between Owen sound and Georgian
Day and Port Arthur, its port on Lake Supe-
rior. The Grand Trunk has lines of steamers
mnning from Surma to Lake Superior. Nine-
-enthsof all the business done by Canadian
ressels either originates on Lake Superior or
s freight sent to Lake Superior ports. Every
one of the craft engaged in the traffic must
pass through the American canal at Sault Ste.
Marie. A prohibitory toll, such as the presi-
dent is empowered to levy, will drive the Can-
adian vessels out of business altogether.
Even a moderate toll, with the keen competi-
tion now existing in the carrying trade, will
give traffic to American vessels.
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
While a large number of bills were intro-
luced into the ffrst session of the Llld con-
jress that convened in December, 1891, few
of much importance were passed. This
vas, in part, owing to the fact that while the
louse of representatives was strongly demo-
cratic the senate was republican and each
jrevented the other from passing measures of
i radical nature. The following were the
nost notable measures passed:
TO ENCOURAGE AMERICAN SHIPPING.
This bill authorized and directed the secre-
ary of the treasury to grant registers, as ves-
iels of the United States, to such foreign-built
teamships now engaged in freight and pas-
lenger business and sailing in an established
ine from a port in the United States, as are
>f a tonnage of not less than 8,000 tons and
capable of a speed of not less than twenty
mots per hour, according to the existing
nethod of government test for speed, of
vhich not less than 90 per centum of the
hares of the capital of the foreign corpora-
ion or association owning the same was
>wned Jan. 1, 1890, and has continued to be
>wned until the passage of this act by citizens
if the United States, including as such citi-
ens corporations created under the laws of
my of the states thereof, upon the American
iwners of such majority interest obtaining a
ull and complete transfer and title to such
teamships from the foreign corporations
wning the same : Provided, That such Amer-
can owners shall, subsequent to the date of
,his law, have built, or have contracted to
juild, in American shipyards, steamships of
in aggregate tonnage of not less in amount
ban that of the steamships so admitted to
egistry. Each steamship so built or con-
racted for to be of a tonnage of not less than
,000 tons.
Sec. 2. That the secretary of the treasury,
n being satisfied that such steamships so ac-
quired by American citizens, or by such corpor-
tion or corporations as above set forth, are
uch as come within the provisions of this
act, and that the American owners of such
steamships, for which an American registry
s to be granted under the provisions hereof,
have built or contracted to build in American
shipyards steamships of an aggregate tonnage
as set forth in the first section hereof, shall di-
rect the bills of sale or transfer of the foreign-
auilt steamships so acquired to be recorded in
the office of the collector of customs of the
proper collection district, and cause such
steamships to be registered as vessels of the
United States by said collector. After which
each of such vessels shall be entitled to all the
fights and privileges of a vessel of the United
States, except that it shall not be employed in
the coastwise trade of the United States.
Sec. 3. That no further or other inspection
shall be required for the said steamship or
steamships than is now required for for-
eign steamships carrying passengers under
the existing laws of the United States, and
that a special certificate of inspection may be
issued for each steamship registered under
this act; and that before issuing the registry
to any such steamship as a vessel of the
United States the collector of customs of the
proper collection district shall cause such
steamships to be measured and described in
accordance with the laws of the United States,
which measurement and description shall be
recited in the certificate of registry to be is-
sued under this act.
Sec. 4. That any steamships so registered
under the provisions of this act may be taken
and used by the United States as cruisers or
transports upon payment to the owners of the
fair actual value of the same at the time of the
taking, and if there shall be a disagreement as
to the fair actual value at the time of taking be-
tween the United States and the owners, then
the same shall be determined by two impartial
appraisers, one to be appointed by each of the
said parties, who, in case of disagreement,
shall select a third, the award of any two of
the three so chosen to be final and conclusive.

unable to procure his certificate, and to the
satisfaction of the court, and by at least one
credible white witness, that he was a resident

CANADIAN RETALIATION.
This act provides that, with a view of secur-
ing reciprocal advantages for the citizens,
ports and vessels of the United States, on and
after the 1st day of August, 1892, whenever and
so often as the president shall be satisfied that
the passage through any canal or lock con-
nected with the navigation of the St. Law-
rence river, the great lakes or the waterways
connecting the same, of any vessels of the
United States or of cargoes or passengers in
transit to any port of the United States, is pro-
hibited or is made difficult or burdensome by
the imposition of tolls or otherwise which, in
view of the free passage through the St. Mary's
Falls canal, now permitted to vessels of all
nations, he shall deem to be reciprocally un-
just and unreasonable, he shall have the
power, and it shall be his duty, to suspend, by
proclamation to that effect, for such time and
to such extent (including absolute prohibition)
as he shall deem just, the right of free passage
through the St. Mary's Falls canal, so far as it
relates to vessels owned by the subjects of the
government so discriminating against the
citizens, ports or vessels of the United States or
to any cargoes, portions of cargoes or passen-
gers in transit to the ports of the government
making such discrimination, whether carried in
vessels of the United States or of othor nations.
In such case and during such suspension
tolls shall be levied, collected and paid as fol-
lows, to-wit: Upon freight of whatever kind
or description, not to exceed f2 per ton; upon
passengers, not to exceed >5 each, as shall be
from time to time determined by the presi-
dent: Provided. That no tolls shall be charged
or collected upon freight or passengers car-
ried to and landed at Ogdensburg or any port
west of Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn
from the northern boundary of the state of
New York through the St. Lawrence river, the
great lakes and their connecting channels to
the northen boundary of the state of Minne-
sota.
Sec. 2. All tolls so charged shall be collected
under such regulations as shall be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury, who may re-
quire the master of each vessel to furnish a
sworn statement of the amount and kind of
cargo and the number of passengers carried
ana the destination of the same, and such
proof of the actual deliveiy of such cargo or
passengers at some port or place within the
limits above named as he shall deem satisfac-
tory; and until such proof is furnished such
freight and passengers may be considered to
have been landed at some port or plaee out-
side of those limits, and the amount of tolls
which would have accrued if they had been
so delivered shall constitute a lien, which may
be enforced against the vessel in default
wherever and whenever found in the waters of
the Uni ted States. [Approved July 26, 1892.]

THE PRICE OF SILVER.
THE PRICE OF SILVER IN PENCE AND FRACTIONS.
[From Gold and Silver, by John S. Hanson.]
The price of silver is made in London and is quoted for an ounce of silver, English stand-
ard, which is .925 fine and contains 444 grains of pure silver. The American standard ounce
is .900 fine and contains 432 grains of pure silver. The "fine" ounce is, of course, 1000 fine and
contains 48U grains of pure silver. The American silver dollar is 412}^ grains standard, or
371J4 grains pure, and the dollar of fractional silver 385.8 grains standard, or 347.22 grains pure.
To make the bullion value of a silver dollar equal to the par value, silver would have to be
quoted at 59 pence per ounce, English standard, making the fine ounce worth $1.2929+, and the
American standard ounce worth $1.164+. The following table shows the value of the three
different standard ounces and of the silver dollar and a dollar of subsidiary silver coin at
different prices ranging from 30 to 60 pence in London, and also at one penny and fractions
thereof:

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
HISTORY OF THE TTNTTED STATES FLAG.
The quartermaster-general of the army has
ssued the following bulletin regarding the
history of the American flag:
The American congress, in session at Phila-
delphia, established by its resolution of June
14,1777, a national flag for the United States
of America. The resolution was as follows:
"Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen
united states be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be thirteen
tars, white in a blue field, representing a new
constellation."
Although nearly a year previous, July 4,
776, these thirteen united states had been de-
jlared independent, this resolution is the first
egislative action recorded relating to a nation-
al flag for the new sovereignty.
The use of thirteen stripes was not a new
feature, as they had been introduced (in alter-
nate white and blue) on the upper left-hand
corner of a standard presented to the Phila-
delphia Light Horse by its captain in the early
part of 1775, and moreover the union flag of the
ihirteen united colonies raised at Washing-
;on's headquarters, at Cambridge, Jan. 2, 1776,
iad the thirteen stripes just as they are this
day; but it also had the crosses of St. George
and St. Andrew on a blue ground in the cor-
ner. There is no satisfactory evidence, how-
ever, that any flag bearing the union of the
stars had been in public use before the reso-
ution of June, 1777.
It is not known to whom the credit
of designing the stars and stripes is due. It
is claimed that a Mrs. John Ross, an uphol-
sterer, who resided on Arch street, Philadel-
phia, was the maker of the first flag combining
the stars and stripes. Her descendants assert
that a committee of congress, accompanied by
General Washington, who was in Philadelphia
n June, 1776, called upon Mrs. Ross and en-
gaged her to make the flag from a rough draw-
ing which, at her suggestion, was redrawn by
General Washington, with pencil, in her back
parlor, and the flag thus designed was adopted
by congress. Although the resolution estab-
lishing the flag was not officially promul-
gated by the secretary of congress until Sept.
3, 1777, it seems well authenticated that tne
stars and stripes were carried at the battle of
the Brandy wine, Sept. 11. 1777, and thencefor-
ward during all the battles of the revolution.
Soon after its adoption the new flag was
hoisted on the naval vessels of the United
States. The ship Ranger, bearing the stars
and stripes and commanded by Captain Paul
Jones, arrived at a French port about Dec. 1,
1777, and her flag received on Feb. 14, 1778, the
first salute ever paid to the American flag by
foreign naval vessels. The flag remained un-
changed for about eighteen years after its
adoption. By this time two more states (Ver-
mont and Kentucky) had been admitted to the
union, and on Jan. 13,1794,congress enacted that
from and after the 1st day of May, 1795, the
flag of the United States be fifteen stripes, al-
ternate red and white; that the union be fif-
teen stars, white in a blue field.
This flag was the national banner from 1795
to 1818, during which period occurred the war
of 18l2.with Great Britain. By ISl^flve addition
al states (Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indi
ana and Mississippi) had been admitted to
the union, and therefore a further change in
the flag seemed to be required. After consid-
erable discussion in congress on the subject,
the act of April 4, 1818 was passed, which pro-
vided:
"1. That from and after the 4th day of July
next the flag of the United States be thirteen
horizontal stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union have twenty stars, white in a
blue field.
2. That on the admission of every new
state into the union one star be added to the
union of the flag and that such addition shall
take effect on the 4th of July next succeeding
such admission."
The return to the thirteen stripes of the 1777
flag was due in a measure to a reverence for
the standard of the revolution, but it was also
due to the fact that a further increase of the
number of stripes would have made the width
of the flag out of proportion to its length un-
ess the stripes were narrowed, and this would
mve impaired their distinctness when seen
from a distance. A newspaper of the time
said:
"By this regulation the thirteen stripes will
represent the number of states whose valor
and resources originally effected American in-
dependence, and the additional stars will
mark the increase of the state since the pres-
ent constitution."
No act has since been passed by congress
altering this feature ef the flag, and it is
the same as originally adopted, except as to
the number of stars in its union. In the war
with Mexico the national flag bore twenty
nine stars in the union; during the late civi
war thirty-five, and since July 4, 1891, forty
four stars. In none of the acts of congress re-
lating to the flag has the manner of arranging
the stars been prescribed, and in consequence
there has been a lack of uniformity In the
matter, and flags in use by the public gener
ally may be seen with the stars arranged in vari
ousways. The early custom was to insert the
stars in parallel rows across the blue field, and
this custom has, it is believed, been observed
in the navy at least since 1818, at which time
the president ordered the stars to be arranged
in such manner on the national flag used in
the navy. In the army, too, it is believed, the
stars have always been arranged in horizon ta
rows across the blue field, but not always ii
vertical rows; the effect however being about
the same as in the naval flag. Hereafter
there will be no difference in the arrangement
between the army and navy, as an agree
ment nas been arrived at between the war
and navy department on the subject. Since
July 4, 1891, the arrangement of stars in the flag
of the army and ensigns in the navy is as fol-
lows:
The national flags hoisted at camps or forts
are made of bunting of American manuf act
ure. They are of the following three sizes
The storm and recruiting flag, 8 feet in length
by 4 feet 2 inches in width; the post flag
measuring 20 feet in length by 10 feet in width
the garrison, measuring 36 feet in length by
20 feet in width (this flag is hoisted only on
holidays and great occasions). The union is
one-third of the length of the flag and extends
to the lower edge of the fourth red stripe
from the top. The national colors carried bj
regiments of infantry and artillery and the
battalion of engineers, on parade or in battle
are made of silk and are 6 feet 6 inches lonp
and 6 feet wide and mounted on staffs. The
field of the colors is 31 inches in length anc
extends to the lower edge of the fourth red
stripe from the top.

HOW TO ESCAPE CHOLERA.
The New York department of health has
Issued some general directions as to food and
attention to person believed to be essential in
a time of cholera epidemic. The recommen-
dations are as follows:
Healthy persons "catch" cholera by taking
into their systems through the mouth, as in
their food or drink, or from their hands,
knives, forks, plates, tumblers, clothing, etc..
the germs of the disease, which are always
present in the discharges from the stomach
and bowels of those sick with cholera.
Thorough cooking destroys the cholera germs;
therefore,
Don't eat raw, uncooked articles of any
kind, not even milk.
Don't eat or drink to excess. Use plain,
wholesome, digestible food, as indigestion
and diarrhea favor an attack of cholera.
Don't drink unboiled water.
Don't eat or drink articles unless they have
been thoroughly and recently cooked or
boiled, and the more recent and hotter they
are the safer.
Don't employ utensils in eating or drinking
unless they have been recently put in boiling
water; the more recent the safer.
Don't eat or handle food or drink with un-
washed hands or receive it from the un-
washed hands of others.
Don't use the hands for any purpose when
soiled with cholera discharges; thoroughly
cleanse them at once.
Personal cleanliness and cleanliness of the
living and sleeping rooms and their contents
and thorough ventilation should be rigidly
enforced. Foul water-closets, sinks, Croton
faucets, cellars, etc., should be avoided, and
when present should be referred to the health
board at once and be remedied.
The successful treatment and the preven-
tion of the spread of this disease demand
that its earliest manifestations be promptly
recognized and treated; therefore,
Don't doctor yourself for bowel complaint,
but go to bed and send for the nearest phy-
sician at once. Send for your family phy-
sician; send to a dispensary or hospital; send
to the health department or send to the near-
est police station for medical aid.
Don't wait, but send at once. If taken ill in
the street seek the nearest drug store, dispen-
sary, hospital or police station and demand
prompt medical attention.
Don't permit vomit or diarrheal discharges
to come In contact with food, drink or cloth-
Ing. These discharges should be received in
proper vessels and kept covered until removed
under competent directions. Pour boiling wa-
ter on them, put a strong solution of carbolic
acid in them not less than one part of acid to
twenty of hot soapsuds or water.
Don't wear, handle or use any articles of
clothing or furniture that are soiled with
cholera discharges. Pour boiling water on
them or put them into it and scrub them with
the carbolic acid solution mentioned above,
and promptly request the health board to re-
move them.
Don't be frightened, but do be cautious and
avoid excesses and unnecessary exposures of
every kind.
THE NAMES OF COINS.
The florin, one of the most famous of mod-
ern coins, originated in Florence. Some say
that it gave toe name to the city, while others
assert that it was first so called because it
had on it a fleur-de-lis, from the Italian flor-
one or "flower," for the same reason that an
English silver piece is called a "crown." or
certain gold pieces in France indifferently a
"Napoleon" or a "Louis," or the ten-dollar
gold piece in America an "eagle."
For several hundred years and down to a
comparatively recent date money was coined
at from twenty-five to thirty different cities in
France that had inherited the privilege. Now
all French money is coined at the Paris mint.
Few French gold pieces are, however, in
circulation, except those bearing the head of
Napoleon III., and silver pieces of the same
coinage are almost as common. French sil-
ver coins wear admirably and pieces of the
reign of Charles X., Louis XVIII. and Na-
poleon I. are very common.
The standard coins on the continent are in
France, the franc; in Spain, the peseta; in
Italy, the lira; in Holland and Austria, the
florin; in Germany, the mark; in Russia, the
ruble.
Belgium and Switzerland use 'the French
name for the piece of twenty sous. Each of
these pieces is, like the American dollar,
divided into one hundred parts, called kopeck
in Russia, pfennig in Germany, kreutzer in
Austria, cent in Holland, and in Italy, France
and Spain by the word meaning hundredth.
The word shilling is of German derivation,
like penny, which comes from the German
"pfennig." The word "crown" comes from
the image placed on the coin. The name
franc was given by King John, who first
coined these pieces in 13ttO.
They bore the motto "Le Roi Frank" (king
of the Franks) and were of two kinds, one
representing the king on horseback, the
other on foot.
The franc was formerly also called the livre
(pound), though the connection with any
special weight is not evident. The name of
the German coin, mark, meaning a weight of
eight ounces, was formerly hi general use in
Europe.
The name of the Italian coin that corre-
sponds with the franc (lira) also means pound.
The coins in present use in Spain have their
names from other sources. The five-cent
piece, which corresponds with the American
dollar, is called escude (shield).
"Peseta," the name of the small coin repre-
senting the monetary standard, means simply
"little piece." "Ruble" is from the word
meaning "to cut." and was so called because
originally the coin was made with an orna-
mental edgs.
Few persons have ever troubled themselves
to think of the derivation of the word dollar.
It is from the German thai (valley) and came
into use in this way some three hundred years
ago. There is a little silver mining city or
district in northern Bohemia called Joachims-
thai, or Joachim's Valley.
The reigning duke of the region authorized
this city in the sixteenth century to coin a sil-
ver piece which was called "Joachimthaler."
The word "joachim" was soon dropped and the
word "thaler" only retained.
The piece went into general use in Germany
and Denmark, where the orthography was
changed to "daler," whence it came into En-
glish and was adopted by the Americans with
still further changes in the spelling. The Mex-
ican dollar is generally called "piastre" in
France and the name is sometimes applied to
the United States dollar.
The appellation is incorrect in either case,
for the word piaster or piastre has for the last
fifty years been only applied with correctness
to a small silver coin used in Turkey and Egypt
which is worth from 5 to 8 cents.

TTTTERANCES OF NATIONAL CONVENTIONS, 1892.
Republican.
Adopted at Jfinneapolis June 9.
The representatives of the republicans of
the United States assembled in general con-
vention on the shores of the Mississippi river,
the everlasting bond of an indestructible
republic, whose most glorious chapter of
history is the record of the republican party,
congratulate their countrymen on the majes-
tic march of the nation under the banners
inscribed with the principles of our platform
of 1888, vindicated by victory at the polls and
prosperty in our fields, workshops and mines,
and make the following declaration of prin-
ciples:
VVe reaffirm the American doctrine of pro-
tection. We call attention to its growth
abroad. We maintain that the prosperous
condition of our country is largely due to the
wise revenue legislation of the republican
congress.
We believe that all articles which cannot be
produced in the United States, except luxuries,
should be admitted free of duty, and that on
all imports coming in competition with the
products of American labor there should be
levied duties equal to the difference between
wages abroad and at home.
We assert that the prices of manufactured
articles of general consumption have been re-
duced under the operations of the tariff act
of 1890.
We denounce the efforts of the democratic
majority of the house of representatives to
destroy our tariff laws by piecemeal, as is man-
ifested by their attacks upon wool, lead and
lead ores, the chief products of a number of
states, and we ask the people for their judg-
ment thereon.
We point to the success of the republican
policy of reciprocity, under which our export
trade has vastly increased, and new and en-
larged markets have been opened for the
products of our farms and workshops. We
remind the people of the bitter opposition of
the democratic party to this practical business
measure, and claim that,executed by a repub-
lican administration, our present laws will
eventually give us control of the trade of the
world.
DECLARATION FOR BIMETALLISM.
The American people, from tradition and
interest, favor bimetallism, and the republic-
an party demands th use of both gold and
silver as standard money, with such restric-
tions and under such provisions, to be deter-
mined by legislation, as will secure the main-
tenance of the parity of values of the two
metals, so that the purchasing and debt-pay-
ing power of the dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The
interests of the producers of the country, its
farmers and its workingmen, demand that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the
government shall be as good as any other.
We commend the wise and patriotic steps
already taken by our government to secure an
internati9nal conference to adopt such meas-
ures as will insure a parity of value between
gold and silver for use as money throughout
the world.
We demand that every citizen of the United
States shall be allowed to cast one free and
unrestricted ballot in all public elections, and
that such ballot shall be counted and returned
as cast; that such laws shall be enacted and
enforced as will secure to every citizen, be he
rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or
black, this sovereign right guaranteed by the
constitution. The free and honest popular
ballot, the just and equal representation of all
the people, as well as their just and equal pro-
tection under the laws, are the foundation of
our republican institutions, and the party will
never relax its efforts until the integrity of
the ballot and the purity of elections shall be
fully guaranteed and protected in every state.
We denounce the continued inhuman out-
rages perpetrated upon American citizens for
political reasons in certain southern states of
the union.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
We favor the extension of our foreign com-
merce, the restoration of our merchant ma-
rine by home-built ships and the creation of a
navy for the protection of our national inter-
ests and the honor of our flag; the mainte-
nance of the most friendly relations with all
foreign powers, entangling alliances with
none; and the protection of the rights of our
fishermen.
We reaffirm our approval of the Monroe
doctrine and believe in the achievement of
the manifest destiny of the republic in its
broadest sense.
We favor the enactment of more stringent
laws and relations for the restriction of crim-
inal, pauper and contract immigration.
We favor efficient legislation by congress to
protect the life and limb of employes of
transportation companies engaged in carrying
on interstate commerce, and recommend
legislation by the respective states that will
protect employes engaged in state commerce,
in mining, and in manufacturing.
The republican party has always been the
champion of the oppressed and recognizes the
dignity of manhood, irrespective of faith,
color, or nationality; it sympathizes with the
cause of home rule in Ireland and protests
against the persecution of the Jews in Russia.
The ultimate reliance of free popular gov-
ernment is the intelligence of the people and
the maintenance of freedom among men.
We therefore declare anew pur devotion to
liberty of thought and conscience, of speech
and press, and approve all agencies and in-
strumentalities which contribute to the edu-
cation of the children of the land, but while
insisting upon the fullest measure of religious
liberty we are opposed to any union of church
and state.
OPPOSITION TO TRUSTS.
We reaffirm our opposition declared in the
republican platform of 1888 to all combina-
tions of capital, organized in trusts or other-
wise, to control arbitrarily the condition of
trade among our citizens. We heartily in-
dorse the action already taken upon this sub-
ject and ask for such further legislation as
may be required to remedy any defects in
existing laws and to render their enforcement
more complete and effective.
We approve the policy of extending to
towns, villages, and rural communities the ad-
yanUiges of the free delivery service now en-
joyed by the larger cities of the country, and
reaffirm the declaration contained in the re-
publican platform of 1888. pledging the reduc-
tion of letter postage to one cent at the earli-
est possible moment consistent with the main-
tenance of the postoffice department and th
highest class of postal service.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
CIVIL SERVICE We commend the spirit
and evidence of reform in the civil service
and the wise and consistent enforcement by
the republican party of the laws regulating
the same.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
NICARAGUA CANAL The construction of
the Nicaragua canal is of the highest impor-
tance to the American people, but as a meas-
ure of national defense and to build up and
maintain American commerce it should be
controlled by the United States government.
TERRITORIES We favor the admission of
the remaining territories at the earliest
practicable date, having due regard to the in-
terest of the people of the territories and of
the United States. All the federal officers ap-
pointed for the territories should be selected
from bona fide residents thereof and the right
of self-government should be accorded as far
as practicable.
ARID LANDS We favor cession, subject to
the homestead laws, of the arid public lands
to the states and territories in which they lie,
under such congressional restructions as to
disposition, reclamation, and ocupancy by set-
tlers as will secure the maximum benefits to
the people.
THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION The
World's Columbian Exposition is a great
national undertaking and congress should
promptly enact such reasonable legislation in
aid thereof as will insure a discharging of the
expense and obligations incident thereto, and
the attainment of results commensurate with
the dignity and progress of the nation.
INTEMPERANCE We sympathize with all
wise and legitimate efforts to lessen and pre-
vent the evils of intemperance and promote
morality.
PENSIONS Ever mindful of the services
and sacrifices of the men who saved the life
of the nation, we pledge anew to the veteran
soldiers of the republic a watchful care and
recognition of their just claims upon a grate-
ful people.
HARRISON'S ADMINISTRATION We com-
mend the able, patriotic and thoroughly
American administration of President Har-
rison. Under it the country has enjoyed re-
markable prosperity and the dignity and honor
of the nation at home and abroad have been
faithfully maintained, and we offer the record
of pledges kept as a guarantee of faithful per-
formance in the future.
Democratic.
Adopted at Chicago June 22.
The representatives of the democratic party
of the United States, in national convention
assembled, do reaffirm their allegiance to the
principles of the party as formulated by
Jefferson and exemplified by the long and
illustrious line of his successors in democratic
leadership, from Madison to Cleveland; we
believe the public welfare demands that these
principles be applied to the conduct of the
federal government through the accession to
power of the party that advocates them; and
we solemnly declare that the need of a return
to these fundamental principles of free popu-
lar government, based on home rule and in-
dividual liberty, was never more urgent than
now, when the tendency to centralize all
power at the federal capital has become a
menace to the reserved rights of the states
that strikes at the very roots of our govern-
ment under the constitution as framed by the
fathers of the republic.
FEDERAL CONTROL OF ELECTIONS.
We warn the people of our common country,
jealous for the preservation of their free in-
stitutions, that the policy of federal control of
elections to which the republican party has
committed itself is fraught with the gravest
dangers, scarcely less momentous than would
result from a revolution practically establish- 1
ing monarchy on the ruins of the republic. It !
strikes at the north as well as the south, and j
injures the colored citizen even more than the ;
white; it means a horde of deputy marshals at
ever poll ing place armed with federal power,
returning boards appointed and controlled by
federal autnority, the outrage of the electoral
rights of the people in the several states, the
subjugation of the colored people to the con-
trol of the party in power and the reviving of
race antagonisms, now happily abated, of the
utmost peril to the safety and happiness of
all; a measure deliberately and justly de-
scribed by a leading republican senator as
" the most infamous bill that ever crossed the
threshold of the senate." Such a policy, if
sanctioned by law, would mean the dominance
of a self-perpetuating oligarchy of office-
holders, and the party first intrusted with its
machinery could be dislodged from power
only by an appeal to the reserved right of the
people to resist oppression which is inherent
in all self-governing communities. Two years
ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically
condemned by the people at the polls, but in
contempt of that verdict the republican party
has defiantly declared in its latest authorita-
tive utterance that its success in the coming
elections will mean the enactment of the force
bill and the usurparion of despotic control
over elections in all the states.
Believing that the preservation of republic-
an government in the United States is depen-
dent upon the defeat of this policy of legal-
ized force and fraud, we invite the support of
all citizens who desire to see the constitution
maintained in its integrity with the laws pur-
suant thereto which have given our country a
hundred years of unexampled prosperity; and
we pledge the democratic party, if it be in-
trusted with power, not only to the defeat of
the force bill, but also to relentless opposition
to the republican policy of profligate expendi-
ture which, in the short space of two years,
squandered an enormous surplus and emptied
an overflowing treasury, after piling new bur-
dens of taxation upon the already overtaxed
labor of the country.
PROTECTION DENOUNCED.
We denounce republican protection as a
fraud; a robbery of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit of the few.
We declare it to be a fundamental principle of
the democratic party that the federal govern-
ment has no constitutional power to impose
and collect tariff duties except for the pur-
pose of revenue only, and we demand that the
collection of such taxes shall be limited to the
necessities of the government when honestly
and economically administered.
We denounce the McKinley tariff law
enacted by the LI congress as the culminat-
ing atrocity of class legislation; we indorse
the efforts made by the democrats of the pres-
ent congress to modify its most oppressive
features in the direction of free raw materials
and cheaper manufactured goods that enter
into general consumption, and we promise its
repeal as one of the beneficent results that
will follow the action of the people in intrust-
ing power to the democratic party. Since the
McKinley tariff went into operation there
have been ten reductions of the wages of
laboring men to one increase. We deny that
there has been any increase of prosperity to
the country since that tariff went into opera-
tion, and we point to the dullness and distress,
the wage reductions and strikes in the iron
trade, as the best possible evidence that no
such prosperity has resulted from the Mc-
Kinley act.
We call the attention of thoughtful Ameri-
cans to the fact that after thirty years of
restrictive taxes against the importation of
foreign wealth, in exchange for our agricul-
tural surplus, the homes and farms of the
ci.mntj-y have lu-coma burdened with a real-
PARTY PLATFORMS.
133
estate mortgage debt of over 82.500.000.000.
exclusive of all other forms of indebtedness;
that in one of the chief agricultural states of
the west there appears a real-estate mortgage
debt averaging $K>5 per capita of the total
population; and that similar conditions and
tendencies are shown to exist in other agri-
cultural exporting states. We denounce a
policy which fosters no industry so much as it
does that of the sheriff.
TRADE RECIPROCITY.
Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal
advantages to the countries participating is a
time-honored doctrine of the democratic
faith, but we denounce the sham reciprocity
which juggles with the people's desire for en-
larged foreign markets and freer exchanges
by pretending to establish closer trade rela-
tions for a country whose articles of export
are almost exclusively agricultural products
with other countries that are also agricultural
while erecting a custom-house barrier of pro-
hibitive tariff taxes against the richest coun-
ries of the world that stand ready to take, our
entire surplus of products and to exchange
therefor commodities which are necessaries
and comforts of life among our own people.
TRUSTS AND COMBINATIONS.
We recognize in the trusts and combinations
hich are designed to enable capital to secure
more than its just share of the joint product
of capital and labor a natural consequence of
the prohibitive taxes which prevent the free
competition which is the life of honest trade,
but believe their worst evils can be abated by
law, and we demand the rigid enforcement of
the laws made to prevent and control them,
together with such further legislation in re-
straint of their abuses as experience may
show to be necessary.
LANDS FOR ACTUAL SETTLERS.
The republican party, while professing a
policy of reserving the public land for small
holdings by actual settlers, has given away
the people's heritage till now a few railroad
and non-resident aliens, individual and corpo-
rate, possess a larger area than that of all our
farms between the two seas. The last demo-
cratic administration reversed the improvi-
dent and unwise policy of the republican
party touching the public domain, and re-
claimed from corporations and syndicates,
alien and domestic, and restored to the people
nearly one hundred million (100.000,000) acres
of valuable land to be sacredly held as home-
steads for our citizens, and we pledge our-
selves to continue this policy until every acre
of land so unlawfully held shall be reclaimed
and restored to the people.
COINAGE.
We denounce the republican legislation
known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly
makeshift fraught with possibilities of danger
in the future, which should make all of its
supporters, as well as its author, anxious for
its speedy repeal. We hold to the use of both
gold and silver as the standard money of the
country, and to the coinage of both gold and
silver without discriminating against metal or
charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of equal in-
trinsic and exchangeable value or be adjusted
through international agreement or by such
safeguards of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance of the parity of the two metals
and the equal power of every dollar at all
times in the markets and in the payment of
debts; and we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redeemable
in such coin. We insist upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protection of the
farmers and laboring classes, the first and
most defenseless victims of unstable money
and a fluctuating currency.
REPEAL OF STATE BANK TAX DBMANDED.
We recommend that the prohibitory 10 per
cent tax on state bank issues be repealed.
CIVIL-SERVICK REFORM.
Public office is a public trust. We reaffirm
the declaration of the democratic national
convention of 1876 for the reform of the civil
service, and we call for the honest enforce-
ment of all laws regulating the same. The
nomination of a president, as in the recent
republican convention, by delegations .com-
posed largely of his appointees, holding office
at his pleasure, is a scandalous satire upon
free popular institutions and a startling
illustration of the methods by which a presi-
dent may gratify his ambition. We denounce
a policy under which the federal office-holders
usurp control of party conventions in the
states, and we pledge the democratic party to
reform these and all other abuses which
threaten individual liberty and local self-
government.
FOREIGN POLICY.
The democratic party is the only party that
has ever given the country a foreign policy
consistent and vigprous. compelling respect
abroad and inspiring confidence at home.
While avoiding entangling alliances, it has
aimed to cultivate friendly relations with
other nations and especially with our neigh-
bors on the American continent whose destiny
is closely linked with our own, and we view
with alarm the tendency to a policy of irrita-
tion and bluster which is liable at any time to
confront us with the alternative of humilia-
tion or war. We favor the maintenance of a
navy strong enough for all purposes of
national defense and to properly maintain
the honor and dignity of the country abroad.
THB OPPRESSED IN RUSSIA AND IRELAND.
This country has always been the refuge of
the oppressed from every land exiles for con-
science's sake and in the spirit of the found-
ers of our government we condemn the op-
pression practiced by the Russian government
upon its Lutheran and Jewish subjects and we
call upon our national government, in the in-
terest of justice and humanity, by all just and
proper means to use its prompt and best ef-
forts to bring about a cessation of these cruel
persecutions in the dominions of the czar and
to secure to the oppressed equal rights.
We tender our profound and earnest sympa-
thy to those lovers of freedom who are strug-
gling for. home rule and the great cause of
local self-government in Ireland.
IMMIGRATION.
We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to
prevent the United States from being used as
the dumping-ground for the known criminals
and professional paupers of Europe; and we
demand the rigid enforcement of the laws
against Chinese immigration and the importa-
tion of foreign workmen under contract to de-
grade American labor and lessen its wages,
but we condemn and denounce any and all at
tempts to restrict the immigration of the in
dustrious and worthy of foreign lands.
PENSIONS.
This convention hereby renews the expres
sion of appreciation of the patriotism 01 the
soldiers and sailors of the union in the war
for its preservation, and we favor just and
liberal pensions for all disabled union sol-
diers, their widows and dependents, but we
demand that the work of the pension office
shall be done industriously, impartially and
honestly. We denounce the present adminis-
tration of that office as incompetent, corrupt,
disgraceful and dishonest.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
WATERWAY IMPROVEMENTS.
The federal government should care for and
improve the Mississippi river and other great
waterways of the republic, so as to secure for
the interior states easy and cheap transporta-
tion to tidewater. When any waterway of the
republic is of sufficient importance to demand
aid of the government, such aid should be ex-
tended upon a definite plan of continuous
work until permanent improvement is secured.
NICARAGUA CANAL.
For purposes of national defense and the
promotion of commerce between the states,
we recognize the early construction of the
Nicaragua canal and its protection against
foreign control as of great importance to the
United States.
THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Recognizing the World's Columbian Exposi-
tion as a national undertaking of vast im-
portance, in which the general government
has invited the co-operation of all the powers
of the world, and appreciating the acceptance
by many of such powers of the invitation so
extended and the broad and liberal efforts
being made by them to contribute to the grand-
eur of the undertaking, we are of opinion
that congress should make such necessary
financial provision as shall be requisite to the
maintenance of the national honor and public
faith.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Popular education being the only safe hasis
of popular suffrage, we recommend to the sev-
eral states most liberal appropriations for the
public schools. Free common schools are the
nursery of good government, and they have
always received the fostering care of the
democratic party, which favors every means
of increasing intelligence. Freedom of educa-
tion, being an essential of civil and religious
liberty as well as a necessity for the develop-
ment of intelligence, must not be Interfered
with under any pretext whatever. We are
opposed to state interference with parental
rights and rights of conscience in the educa-
tion of children as an infringement of the fun-
damental democratic doctrine that the largest
Individual liberty consistent with the rights
of others insures the highest type of American
citizenship and the best government.
ADMISSION OF THE TERRITORIES.
We approve the action of the present house
of representatives in passing bills for admit-
ting into the union as states the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona, and we iavor the
early admission of all the territories having
the necessary population and resources to
entitle them to statehood, and while they re-
main territories we hold that the officials
appointed to administer the government of
any territory, together with the District of
Columbia and Alaska, should be bona fide
residents of the territory or district In which
their duties are to be performed. The demo-
cratic party believes in home rule and the
control of their own affairs by the people of
the vicinage.
PROTECTION OF RAILWAY EMPLOYES.
We favor legislation by congress and state
legislatures to protect the lives arid limbs of
railway employes and those of other iiazard-
ous transportation companies, and denounce
the inactivity of the republican party, and par-
ticularly the republican senate, for causing the
defeat of measures beneficial and protective
to this class of wage-workers.
THE SWEATING SYSTEM DENOUNCED.
We are in favor of the enactment by the
states of laws for abolishing the notorious
sweating system, fur abolishing contract con-
vict labor and for prohibiting the employmeni
in factories of children under 15 years of age
SUMPTUARY LAWS.
We are opposed to all sumptuary laws as an
interference with the individual rights of the
citizen.
AND ON THIS THE PARTY STANDS.
Upon this statement of principles and pol
cles the democratic party ask the intelligent
judgment of the American people. It asks a
change or adminstration and a change of party
in order that there may be a change of system
and a change of methods, thus assuring the
maintenance unimpared of institutions under
which the republic nas grown great and power-
People's Party.
Adopted at Omaha July 4.
Assembled upon the 116th anniversary of the
declaration of independence, the people's
party of America in their first national con-
vention, invoking upon their action the bless-
ing of Almighty God, puts forth, in the name
and on behalf of the people of this country,
the following preamble and declaration of
principles:
PREAMBLE.
The conditions which surround us best justi-
fy our co-operation. We meet in the midst of a
nation brought to the verge of moral, political,
and material ruin. Corruption dominates the
ballot-box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench. The
people are demoralized; most of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters at
the polling places to prevent universal intim-
idation or bribery. The newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzled; public opinion
silenced; business prostrated; our nomes
covered with mortgages; labor impoverished,
and the lands concentrating in the hands of
the capitalists. The urban workmen are de-
nied the right of organization for self-protec-
tion; imported pauperized labor beats down
their wages; a hireling standing army, un-
recognized by our laws, is established to shoot
them down, and they are rapidly degenerating
into European conditions. The fruits of the
toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up
colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in
the history of mankind; and the possessors of
these, in turn, despise the republic and en-
danger liberty. From the same prolific womb
of governmental injustice we breed the two
great classes tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is ap-
propriated to enrich bondholders; a vast pub-
lic debt payable in legal tender currency has
been funded into gold-bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens of the people.
Silver, which has been accepted as coin
since the dawn of history, has been demone-
tized to add to the purchasing power of gold
by decreasing the value of all forms of pro-
perty as well as human labor and the supply
of currency is purposely abridged to fatten
usurers, bankrupt enterprise and enslave in-
dustry. A vast conspiracy against mankind
has been organized on two continents and it is
rapidly taking possession of the world. If not
met and 9verthrown at once it forebodes ter-
rible social convulsions, the destruction of
civilization or the establishment of an abso-
lute despotism. We have witnessed for more
than a quarter of a century the struggles of
the two great political parties for power and
plunder, whi le grievous wrongs have been in-
flicted upon the suffering people. We charge
that the controlling influences dominating
both these parties have permitted the existing
dreadful conditions to develop without ser-
ious effort to prevent or restrain them.
Neither do they now promise us any substan-

tial reform. They have agreed together to ig-
nore in the coming campaign every issue but
one. They propose to drown the outcries of a
plundered people with the uproar of a sham
oattle over the tariff, so that capitalists, cor-
porations, national banks, rings, trusts, wat-
ered stock, the demonetization of silver and
the oppressions of the usurers may all be lost
sight of. They propose to sacrifice our homes,
lives and children on the altar of Mammon;
to destroy the multitude in order to secure
corruption funds from the millionaires.
Assembled on the anniversary of the birth-
day of the nation, and tilled with the spirit of
the grand generation who established our in-
dependence we seek to restore the govern-
ment of the republic to the hands of "the
lain people," with whose class it originated.
Te assert our purposes to be identical with
the purposes of the national constitution "to
form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for our-
selves and our posterity."
We declare that this republic can only en-
lure as a free government while built upon
the love of the whole people for each other
and for the nation; that it cannot be pinned
together by bayonets; that the civil war is
over and that every passion and resent-
ment which grew out of it must die with it,
and that we must be in fact, as we are in
name, one united brotherhood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there is no precedent in the
history of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions amount to billions of dollars in
value, which must within a few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed in their production;
the existing currency supply is wholly inade-
quate to make this exchange; the results are
falling prices, the formation of combines and
rings, the impoverishment of the producing
class. We pledge ourselves that if given
power we will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of government,
in other words, of the people, should be ex-
panded (as in the case of the postal service)
as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an
intelligent people and the teachings of expe-
rience shall justify, to the end that oppres-
sion, injustice and poverty shall eventually
cease in the land.
Wuile our sympathies as a party of reform
are naturally upon the side or every proposi-
tion which will tend to make men intelligent,
virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re-
gard these questions important as they are
a& secondary to the great issues now pressing
;or solution, and upon which not only our
ndividual prosperity but the very existence
of free institutions depend; and we ask all
men to first help us to determine whether we
are to have a republic to administer before
we differ as to the condition upon which it is
to be administered; believing that the forces
3f reform this day organized will never cease
o move forward until every wrong is reme-
lied and equal rights and equal privileges
securely established for all the men and
women of this country. We declare there-
"ore:
DECLARATION OP PRINCIPLES.
1 That the union of the labor forces of the
United States this day consummated shall be
permanent and perpetual may it spirit into
ill hearts for the salvation of the republic
nd the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and
svery dollar taken from industry without an
equivalent is robbery. "If any will not work
neither shall he eat." The interests of rural
and civic labor are the same; their enemies
are identical.
3. We believe that the time has come when
the railroad corporations will either own the
people or the people must own the railroads,
and should the government enter upon the
work of owning and managing any or all rail-
roads, we should favor an amendment to the
constitution by which all persons engaged in
the government service shall be placed under
a civil-service regulation of the most rigid
character so as to prevent the increase of the
power of the national administration by the
use of such additional government employes.
FINANCE AND CURRENCY.
We demand a national currency, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the federal
government only, a full legal-tender for all
debts, public and private, and that without
the use of banking corporations, a just, equi-
table, and efficient means of distribution
direct to the people, at a tax not to exceed 2
per ceng; per annum to be provided as set forth
in the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers' alli-
ance, or a better system; also by payments in
discharge of its obligations for public improve-
ments.
1. We demand free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
16tol.
2. We demand that the amount of circula-
tion medium be speedily increased to not less
than K>0 per capita.
3. We demand a graduated income tax.
4. We believe that the money of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all state and national revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the
government, economically and honestly ad-
ministered.
5. We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
TRANSPORTATION".
Transportation being a means of exchange
and a public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
(a) The telegraph and telephone, like the
>ostoffice system, being a necessity for the
ransmission of news, should be owned and
operated by the government in the Interest of
the people.
LAND OWNERSHIP.
The land, including all the natural sources of
wealth, is the heritage of the people and should
not be monopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership of land should be pro-
hibited. All land now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by aliens,
should be reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
A SUPPLEMENTAL PLATFORM.
The following supplementary report of the
committee on resolutions was presented at a
later session:
Your committee on platform and resolutions
beg leave unanimously to report the follow-
ing:
WHEREAS, Other questions have oeen pre-
sented for our consideration, we hereby sub-
mit the following, not as a part of the plat
's party, but as resolution
sentiment of this conven-
tion:
Resolved, (1) That we demand a free ballot
and a fair count in all elections; and pledge
ourselves to secure it to every legal voter,
without federal intervention, through the
form of the people's party, but as resolutions
expressive of the sentim

adoption by the states of the unperverted
Australian or secret ballot system.
Resolved, (2) That the revenue derived from
a graduated income tax should be applied to
the reduction of the burden of taxation now
levied upon the domestic industries of this
country.
Resolved, (3) That we pledge our support to
fair and liberal pensions of ex-union soldiers
and sailors.
Resolved, (4) That we condemn the fallacy
of protecting American labor under the pres-
ent system, which opens our ports to the
pauper and criminal classes of the world and
crowds out our wage-earners; and we de-
Dounce the present ineffective laws against
contract labor and demand the further re-
triction of undesirable emigration.
Resolved,, (5) That we cordially sympathize
nth the efforts of organized workmgmen to
_horten the hours of labor, and demand a rigid
enforcement of the existing eight-hour law
on government work and ask that a penalty
lause be added to the said law.
Resolved, (6) That we regard the mainte-
nance of a large standing army of mercen-
aries, known as the Pinkerton system, as a
menace to our liberties and we demand its
abolition: and we condemn the recent inva-
ion of the state of Wyoming by the hired
assassians of plutocracy, assisted by federal
officers.
R solved, (7) That we commend to the
;houghtful consideration of the people and
the reform press the legislative system known
as the ab initio ad referendum.
Resolved, (8) That we favor a constitutional
provision limiting the office of president and
vice-president to one term and providing for
;he election of senators of the United States
by a direct vote of the people.
Resolved, (9) That we oppose any subsidy or
national aid to any private corporation for
any purpose.
Prohibition.
Adopted at Cincinnati June 30.
The prohibition party, in national conven-
tion assembled, acknowledging Almighty God
as the source of all true government and his
aw as the standard to which all human en-
actments must conform to secure the bless-
ngs of peace and prosperity, presents the fol-
owing declaration of principles:
PROHIBITION OP LIQTJOR TRAFFIC.
1. The liquor traffic is a foe to civilization,
the arch-enemy of popular government and a
public nuisance. It is the citadel of the forces
that corrupt politics, promote poverty and
crime, degrade the nation's home life, thwart
the will of the people and deliver our country
nto the hands of rapacious class interests.
All laws that under the guise of regulation
legalize and protect this traffic or make the
government share in its ill-gotten gains are
" vicious in principle and powerless as a rem-
edy "
We declare anew for the entire suppression
of the manufacture, sale, importation, expor-
tation and transportation of alcoholic liquors
as a beverage by federal and state legislation
and the full powers of the government should
be exerted to secure this result. Any party
that fails to recognize the dominant nature of
this issue in American politics is undeserving
of the support of the people.
. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
2. No citizen should be denied the right to
vote on account of sex and equal labor should
receive equal wages without; regard to sex.
AS TO MONEY.
3. The money of the country should be issued
by the general government only, and in suffi-
cient quantities to meet the demands of
business and give full opportunity for the
employment of labor. To this end an increase
in the volume of money is demanded, and no
individual or corporation should be allowed
to make any profit through its issue. It
should be made a legal tender for the payment
of all debts, public and private. Its volume
should be fixed at a definite sum per capita
and made to increase with our increase in
population.
THE TARIFF.
4. Tariff should be levied only as a defense
against foreign countries which levy tariff
upon or bar out our products from their mar-
kets, revenue being incidental. The residue
of means necessary to an economical adminis-
tration of the government should be raised by
levying a burden on what the people possess
-nstead of upon what we consume.
CONTROL OF RAILROADS.
5. Railroad, telegraph, and other public cor-
porations should be controlled by the govern-
ment in the interest of the people and no
higher charges allowed than necessary to give
fair interest on the capital actually invested.
IMMIGRATION LAWS.
6. Foreign immigration has become a burden
upon industry, one of the factors in depress-
ing wages and causing discontent, therefore
our immigration laws should be revised and
strictly enforced. The time of residence for
naturalization should be extended and no
naturalized person should be allowed to vote
until one year after he becomes a citizen.
ALIEN LAND-OWNERS.
7. Non-residents should not be allowed to
acquire land in this country, and we favor the
limitation of individual and corporate owner-
ship of land. All unearned grants of lands
to railroad companies or other corporations
should be reclaimed.
THE RECENT LYNCHING8.
8. Years of inaction and treachery on the
part of the republican and democratic parties
have resulted in the present reign of mob law.
and we demand that every citizen be pro-
tected in the right of trial by constitutional
tribunals.
ONE DAY OF REST.
9. All men should be protected by law in
their right to one day's rest in seven.
FAVORING ARBITRATION.
10. Arbitration is the wisest and most eco-
nomical and humane method of settling na-
tional differences.
SPECULATION IN MARGINS.
11. Speculations in margins, the cornering of
grain, money and products, and the formation
of pools, trusts, and combinations for the
arbitrary advancement of prices should be
suppressed.
PENSIONS.
12. We pledge that the prohibition party if
elected to power will ever grant just pensions
to disabled veterans of the union army and
navy, their widows and orphans.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
13. We stand unequivocally for the Ameri-
can public school and opposed to any appro-
priation of public moneys for sectarian
schools. We declare that only by united sup-
port of such common schools, taught in the
English language, can we hope to become and
remain an homogeneous and harmonious peo-
ple.
ARRAIGNMENT OF THE OLD PARTIES.
14. We arraign the republican and democrat-
ic parties as false to the standards reared by
PARTY PLATFORMS.
137
their founders; as faithless to the principles
of the illustrious leaders of the past to whom
they do homage with the lips; as recreant to
the "higher law," which is as inflexible in
political affairs as in personal life; and as no
longer embodying the aspirations of the
American people or inviting the confidence
of enlightened, progressive patriotism. Their
protest against the admission of "moral
issues" into politics is a confession of their
own moral degeneracy. The declaration of
an eminent authority that municipal misrule
is "the one conspicuous failure of American
politics" follows as a natural consequence of
such degeneracy, and is true alike of cities
under republican and democratic control.
Each accuses the other of extravagance in
congressional appropriations and both are
alike guilty. Each protests when out of pow-
er against the infraction of the civil-service
laws, and each in power violates those laws in
letter and spirit. Each professes fealty to the
interests of the toiling masses but both covert-
ly truckle to the money power in their admin-
istration of public affairs. Even the tariff
issue as represented in the democratic Mills
and the republican McKinley bill is no longer
treated by them as an issue upon great and
divergent principles of government, but is a
mere catering, to different sectional and class
interests. The attempt in many states to
M-restthe Australian ballot system from its
true purpose and to so deform it as to render
it extremely difficult for new parties to exer-
cise the rights of suffrage is an outrage upon
popular government. The competition of
both the parties for the vote of the slums and
their assiduous courting of the liquor power
and subserviency to the money power has re-
sulted in placing those powers in the position
of practical arbiters of the destinies of the
nation. We renew our protest against these
perilous tendencies and invite all citizens to
join us in the upbuilding of a party that has
shown in five national campaigns that it pre-
fers temporary defeat to an abandonment of
the claims of justice, sobriety, personal
rights and the protection of American homes.

STATE PLATFORMS OF 1892.
Illinois Republicans.
Adopted at Springfleld May 4.
The republicans of Illinois in state qonven-
tion assembled, pledging anew their devotion
to those principles of government which
under republican auspices have achieved
such signal triumphs in the promotion of the
public welfare, do hereby declare:
We recognize in the present unexampled in-
dustrial prosperity of the nation the most
forcible demonstration of th wisdom of the
policy of the protection of the republican
party as expressed in the McKinley tariff law,
and pledge our unfaltering support for such
further national legislation as shall under
changing economic conditions or the republi-
can doctrine of reciprocity further stimulate
industrial activity and guarantee to American
workingmen immunity to the utmost from
of
the cheapening and degrading influence
free-trade foreign competition.
We heartily indorse the wise, patriotic and
thoroughly American administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, and we hereby instruct the
delegates at large from this convention to the
national republican convention at Minne-
apolis to give their support and votes for his
renomination for president of the United
States. We express our admiration of the
prudent and brilliant conduct of the state
department by Secretary Blaine and commend
the vigor and wisdom which has characterized
the navy and other departments of the federal
government.
We arraign the democratic party for its
treachery to the cause of honest money and
indorse the republican defense against the
spoliation and degradation of our national
currency in the threatened free coinage of
138
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
silver at a fictitious face value. We favor
such measures as shall by international con-
ference and agreement permit the restoration
of silver to a parity in recognition and value
in the monetary systems of the world.
We condemn the crimes perpetrated against
the ballot in the suppression of the vote of
the colored citizens of the south and the dem-
ocratic defense in congress of such crimes as
expressed in the virulent opposition to
remedial legislation. We demand that con-
gress, subordinate to the federal constitution,
hall obey its emphatic mandate not only to
pass but to enforce laws protective of the
suffrage rights of all American citizens.
We earnestly favor legislation, national and
state, whichshall protect natural competition
in trade and suppress "trusts" and other
forms of iniquitous industrial tyranny. We
commend the anti-trust legislation of the last
congress and favor such governmental super-
vision and control as shall subordinate all
corporations to the public welfare, and to this
end demand proper amendment and rigorous
enforcement of the interstate-commerce act
and the establishment by the government of
a postal telegraph and telephone system
under the direct control of the government in
connection with the postal department.
"n view of the inestimable value of the
services rendered by the department of agri-
culture we urge the establishment of a depart-
mentof labor,having jurisdictionof measures
Tor promoting the dignity and effectiveness of
labor and the conservation of the best inter-
ests of American workingmen in all occupa-
tions, including the enactment of laws which
shall lessen the hours of the working day.
We heartily approve the immigration laws
enacted by the last congress and demand such
further legislation as shall most effectively
exclude paupers, criminals, " contract labor "
and other elements hostile to the welfare of
the American people and the genius of Amer-
"can institutions.
The gratitude of the American people to the
union heroes of the civil war has repeatedly
been expressed by the enactment of pension
laws which testify to continued republican
support of such further legislation as patriot-
ism shall in the full measure of its devotion be
able to bestow upon its scarred defenders, their
widows and orphans.
We indorse the invulnerable administration
of Gov. Fifer and testify our appreciative rec-
ognition of its wisdom, its fidelity to the peo-
ple and its loyalty to his party and personal
pledges. We indorse the official record and
faithful services of Senator Cullom and the
Illinois republican representatives in congress.
Upon the important subject of education we
declare :
That since the success of universal suffrage
and of popular government requires universal
intelligence, therefore the free common
schools of Illinois are the chief bulwarks of
the commonwealth and the safeguards of lib-
erty. That the education in elementary
branches of each child in the state should be
required by law. That all persons and those
standing in the parental relation should be
left absolutely free to choose in what schools
and in what manner they will educate their
children. That in no case shall school officers
or civil authorities be given authority by law
to interfere with private or parochial schools.
In pursuance of these principles we pledge
ourselves to repeal the present compulsory
school act and in lieu thereof to enact a law
in harmony with the view herein stated.
We favor protection against every form of
convict labor and demand such legislation as
shall give full force and effect to the constitu-
tional provisions relating thereto; we demand
the prohibition of the employment of young
children in factories and mines; protection of
the employes in factories, mines, in the rail-
way service and other hazardous occupations,
from every danger that can be removed or
diminished; the arbitration of differences be-
tween employer and employe. We declare
our opposition to any system which directly
or indirectly fosters the so-called truck store
system, or which compels workingmen to ac-
cept payment for their labor in merchandise,
and we favor such constitutional amendment
as may be required for legislative prohibition
of the said system and for the enforcement of
weekly payments to employes.
We demand the adoption of a system of
uniform rates of appraisement of real and
>ersonal property to the end that equal and
_ust corresponding taxation shall prevail and
the existing inequalities be removed. We de-
mand a more stringent enforcement of the
law and supplemental legislation, if need be,
to secure the proper listing and appraisement
of all property subject to taxation.
We regard with much gratification the en-
actment under a republican administration of
a ballot reform law and the protection it af-
fords as demonstrated by experience of the
rights of voters and the purity of our election.
We favor the addition of two delegates at
arge to the state central committee.
Illinoii Democrats.
Adopted at Springfield April 26.
The democracy of Illinois, in convention
assembled, reaffirms its devotion to demo-
cratic principles and pledges itself to untiring
effort for their supremacy. It believes that
the powers delegated by the people should be
strictly construed; that the autonomy of the
states and their rights of local self-government
and home rule should be zealously guarded as
essential to the preservation of our form of
government; that no money should be taken
from the people under any pretext for other
than public purposes ; that the strictest econ-
omy should be exercised in all governmental
expenditures, whether local, state, or national,
and that legislation should be confined to
the legitimate objects of government.
We recognize that the tariff is a tax and
that all taxation ia a burden. Where it is im-
posed justly and fairly to meet the necessary
expenditures of an economical and prudent
administration of public affairs it will be
cheerfully borne by the people. When levied
upon the suggestion of private greed to pro-
mote monopoly and extortion, to build up the
fortunes of a few beneficiaries and favored
classes at the expense of the general welfare,
it is leavened with injustice and oppression
and a burden, is intolerable to freedom and in-
consistent with every principle of sound gov-
ernment.
The republican party has sought to fasten
an iniquitous and oppressive system of taxa-
tion upon the American people. The effect of
its legislation on this subject is to fetter trade
and commerce, those swift agencies of civil-
ization, and disorganize and disarrange every
element of industry, to foster injurious com-
binations, and enhance the prices of the neces-
saries of public life, and to demoralize the
public confidence.
We indorse to the fullest extent the patri-
otic administration of Grover Cleveland, and
declare without reservation our full and com-
plete approval of the views contained in his
message to congress on the tariff in 1887.
We demand an immediate revision of the
tariff, free raw material, a reduction in the
duties on the necessaries of life, and such
changes in the shipping and navigation laws
as shall restore the American merchant ma-
rine and the supremacy of the American fiag
on the high seas.
PARTF PLATFORMS.
139
We reiterate our allegiance to the historic
policy of the democratic party in favor of
honest money, the gold and silver coinage pro-
vided by the constitution of the United States
and of a currency convertible into such coin-
age without loss to the holder, and we recom-
mend an invitation by our government to the
commercial powers of the world for an inter-
national conference for the purpose of fixing
a ratio between the values of gold and silver,
so that parity may be maintained between the
two metals and all mints be thrown open to
free coinage.
We denounce the reckless extravagance of
the billion-dollar congress, controlled by a re-
publican majority, and distinguished only by
the passage of the oppressive McKinley bill
and the wicked waste of the people's money.
We believe firmly that public officers should
be faithful servants of the people, and that in
every instance of appointment to office the
test should be rather capacity for efficient
public service than past or prospective politi-
cal activity.
We are proud of our common school system
and pledge ourselves to uphold and improve
it. for free Institutions cannot exist without
universal education.
We denounce the republican party for
enacting a law which tends to bring the cause
of popular education Into disrepute; a law
which takes from the parent the right to edu-
cate his child according to the dictates of his
conscience; a law which creates a state inqui-
sition over schools toward which the state
contributes nothing; a law which gives the
absolute power to every local school board,
no matter how ignorant or spiteful its actions,
to harass and persecute a large class of people
who are among our best citizens and who do
their full duty, both toward the state and
their children, and who, by their labor, their
patriotism and intelligence, have contributed
very much to our prosperity and greatness.
Such a law is further to be condemned as an
invasion of that religious liberty guaranteed
by the constitution, and in effect amounts to
an interference by the state with the church.
This law is antagonistic to democratic institu-
tions and we demand its unconditional repeal,
and we pledge our candidates for the legisla-
ture to vote and work to that end.
We favor the election of United States sen-
ators by a direct vote of the people.
We denounce the creation of trusts which,
however disguised, have for their end the
stifling of competition and the control of pro-
duction and prices, with a view of oppressing
the people; and we demand from our legisla-
ture the passage of stringent laws to aid the
judicial branch of the state in stamping out
such iniquitous devices of monopolists to de-
fraud the people.
We believe that in a free country the cur-
tailment of the absolute rights of the individ-
ual should only be such as is essential to the
peace and good order of the country.
The limit between the proper subjects of
governmental control and those which can be
more fittingly left to the moral sense and self-
imposed restraint of the citizen should be
carefully kept in view. Thus laws unneces-
sarily interfering witb the habits and customs
of any people which are not offensive to the
moral sentiment of the civilized world, and
which are consistent with good citizenship
and public welfare, are unjust and vexatious.
The constitution of this state provides
"That it shall be unlawful for the commis-
sioners of any penitentiary or other reforma-
tory institutions in the state of Illinois to let
by contract to any persons or corporation the
labor of any convict confined within such in-
stitution. We denounce the present repub-
lican state administration for its gross viola-
tion of this provision of the constitution and
for unlawful methods to evade and nullify
the same.
We favor the prohibition of child labor witb
all its debasing consequences.
We favor the establishment of boards of
arbitration, that will adjudicate all contro-
versies between capital and labor, so that pro-
tracted strikes, with their ruinous conse-
quences, may be averted, and we believe the
great moral influences a just and equitable
ruling would have on questions at issue would
genera ly lead to a speedy adjustment.
We demand the protection of life and prop-
erty of American citizens at home as well as
abroad, regardless of race, color or previous
condition.
We favor all laws that can be enacted under
the present constitution that will prohibit the
truck system, enforce weekly payment of
wages in cash, and fair weights and measures
wherever used infixing compensation. And
if the present constitution will not admit of
the enactment and enforcement of such laws,
then we favor an amendment to the constitu-
tion under which laws can be enacted.
We congratulate the democracy of Illinois
and the whole country under the great tri-
umph achieved by the democrats of Illinois in
the election of that grand man, patriot, sol-
dier and statesman, Gen. John M. Palmer, to
the senate of the United States, and should it
be deemed expedient to come to the great
west for a candidate for the presidency to
lead the democratic hosts to victory, we com-
mend him to the favorable consideration of
the national democratic convention and in-
struct our delegates to that convention to
present his name and use all honorable means
to secure his nomination.
Resolved, That the delegates chosen by this
convention to the democratic national con-
vention are hereby instructed to cast the vote
of the state as a unit on all questions and
candidates in accordance with a vote of a ma-
jority thereof. ^_
Illinois People's Party.
Adopted at Danville May 19.
The people's party of the state of Illinois,
through its regularly elected delegates, as-
sembled in convention at Danville, makes this
official declaration of its principles, purposes
and demands:
Resolved, That we reaffirm the declaration
of principles adopted by the St. Louis confer-
ence of Feb. 22, and pledge our entire loyalty
to it.
Resolved. That we demand the immediate
and condign punishment of all officials who
shall attempt to interfere with, the constitu-
tional right of free speech, free press or free
public assemblage.
Resolved, That we demand the enactment of
adequate laws providing for the actual at-
tendance in school of all children of school
age for a term not less than four months of
each year, and to this end we are in favor of
free text books.
Resolved, That we condemn and denounce
those hard and oppressive conditions of life
produced by unjust laws which drive men to
crime and then use their labor to crush out
honest industry, and we charge both the old
parties with directly conniving at a flagrant
and open violation of the amendment to the
constitution overwhelmingly adopted by the
people forbidding contracts for convict labor
and recognizing the cruelty of confinement of
men without employment. Therefore 'ire de-
mand that all convicts in this state hereafter
be employed in the winter months in prepar-
ing material for, and in the summer months
in making, permanent roads and other state
140

improvements, and we f uther demand that all
ailroads in this state be required by law to
arry men and material for this purpose at
ctual cost of transportation.
Jfesolved, That we condemn in unmeasured
erms the practice of both republican and
emocratic officers of the state in appropriat-
ng the interest on the public funds to tneir
wn private uses, and demand that accumula-
ions of all state funds be covered into the
r jfesolve'd, That our state constitution be so
.mended as to permit the enforcement of the
aw providing for a weekly pay day and the
.bolition of the truck store system.
Resolved, That we demand that the legisla-
ure submit to a vote of the people as a sepa-
ate issue the subject of an amendment to
tie state constitution allowing to women the
ull right of suffrage.
Resolved, That our present system of minor-
ty representation falls far short of tne object
ought to be attained by the same, and we rec-
mmend the favorable consideration of the
uota system of representation to the people
f this state.
Resolved, That we condemn the extortions
f the corporation known as the Union stock-
ards of Chicago, and we condemn the exist-
nce by law of boards of trade that deal in
ptions on the necessaries of life, and de-
mand that they be abolished.
Resolved, That we denounce the projected
ncrease of the regular army and regard the
ormation of permanent forts and garrisons
lear the great centers of population as a men-
,ce to our free institutions.
Resolved, That we recognize in the employ-
ment of private standing armies in the inter-
st of corporations and great monoplies a
erioua menace to the liberties of the people,
and demand that the Pinkerton and like
orces be disbanded.
Illinois Prohibition.
Adopted at Springfield June 1.
We, the prohibitionists of Illinois, in con-
vention assembled, acknowledging Almighty
Jod as the source of all just power in govern-
ment, do declare and adopt the following as
our platform of principles upon which we
appeal to the intelligent and patriotic voters
)f the state of Illinois for their suffrages in
he approaching election :
More than a billion of dollars are expended
annually by the victims of strong drink for
ilcoholic beverages. No equivalent is re-
vived for the money thus expended. Alcohol
s neither a food nor a heat producer. It
elves nothing of economic value in return for
josi, -The money spent for these beverages
, ports a population of about four millions of
^people who are living, and ma^otjiem be-
coming rich, upon the .profits of this traffic
without returning anything to society for
what they receive. Consumers who are non-
producers always impoverish society. Were
this whole business abolished the victims
the traffic could pay the hundred million of
dollars which the government receives there-
from and have at least nine hundred million
of dollars left with which to purchase the
necessaries of life.
The farmers of our country get less than
$20.000,000 annually for all the produce fur
nished the distiller and lose hundreds ol
millions which would be spent for bread
meat and other products ot the farm were i
not for the liquor traffic, which is a prolific
source of pauperism -and hard times. The
liquor traffic is a relent-less foe of the laborim
classes. The use of alcoholic beverages no
only produces poverty and disease, but 1
everywhere the enemy of society as a prc
3ucerof domestic infelicity, social impurity
ind all kinds of private and public vice. The
gal prohibition of the importation, rnanu-
acture and sale of alcoholic beverages is,
here fore, the imperative duty of government,
tate and national.
The power conferred. upon municipalities in
>ur state to license dramshops, while the
armer is disfranchised and yet has to pay his
hare of the tax used by the saloon, is an un-
ust discrimination against the farmer. All
aws that license crime are wrong in principle
and vicious in practice. High license is a legal-
zed monopoly; it is a system of bribery by
which the state "justifies the wicked for a
eward." It cloaks an evil with the garb of
espectability and gives sanction to a great
rime. We agree with the Supreme court of
he United States in deny ing the right of legis-
ature to bargain away the public health or
he public morals, and we therefore deny the
ight of any legislative body to injure the
ublic health or morals by legalizing the liquor
raffle. Such legislation is usurpation.
We declare in favor of a loyal and steadfast
maintenance of our American public school
ystem as an institution vital to the public
wellbeing and the preservation of our repub-
ican institutions. We denounce any attempt
o appropriate any portion of the public funds
or sectarian purposes, as well as all plans of
>artnership or association between our public
chool officials and any religious sect in the
work of instruction. We denounce the demo-
ratic and republican parties of Illinois for
heir cowardly and unpatriotic proposal tosur-
ender our present compulsory education law,
and we avow our purpose to maintain the law
as it stands, with all its provisions intact. We
"urther declare in favor of the state f urnish-
ng all school text books free of cost.
Suffrage should not be made to depend upon
any distinction of race, color or sex.
We declare ourselves opposed to the alien
ownership of land or mines, and to the un-
imited acquisition thereof by individuals or
corporations, and we are in favor of the for-
'eiture of all unearned land grants in the
hands of railroad corporations.
We declare that all money should be issued
by the government directly to the people with-
out the intervention of banks, and to be a full
.egal tender for all debts both public and pri-
vate. To this end we favor an open mint for
the unlimited coinage of gold and silver, the
products of the mines of the United States, on
ike terms, and if the difference between the
value of gold and silver bullion and gold and
silver coin at the rate of one to sixteen is so
large as to endanger the circulation of either
coin, we then favor an equitable adjustment
of the ratio between the coin values of gold
and silver, to the e_n4*halj6both coins may pass
current At par.
We declare in favor of the control of rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone lines by the
government, so as to limit earnings to a rea-
sonable return on the cash value of the prop-
erty.
We declare that all articles, the like of
which cannot be successfully produced in this
country, together with all raw materials no
coming into injurious com petition with Ameri
can producers, should be placed upon the
free list, and that the burden of taxation
should be removed from the necessaries and
imposed upon the luxuries of life.
We declare that taxation to be just must be
uniform as to person and property. The pres
ent system of taxation by which all notes
bonds and mortgages held by non-residents o:
the state, as well as many held by residents o
the state, escape taxation, while the debto
who holds mortgaged real and personal prop
erty is compelled to pay taxes upon the ful

value thereof without deducting the amount
of the mortgaged debt, is unjust, and we de-
mand that our tax laws be revised aud amend-
ed to the end that all notes, bonds and mort-
gages or other written evidence of indebted-
ness secured by mortgage shall be listed for
taxation in the township, county and state
where the mortgaged property is situated and
that any of such notes, bonds or mortgages or
other evidences of indebtedness not so listed
shall be uncollectible in any court. We de-
mand a graduated tax upon incomes.
We declare against the pernicious system of
speculating in margin, cornering of grain or
gambling in money, land produce or anything
else and we favor such legislation as will ef-
fectually prohibit the same and thereby turn
all legitimate trade into natural and lawful
channels.
We declare in favor of a service pension for
all honorably discharged union soldiers, based
on a monthly allowance of 1 cent for every
day of service actually rendered.
We are in favor of the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the people.
We declare in favor of a restrictive immi-
gration law, so framed as to exclude the pau-
per, the criminal, the insane and the anarch-
ist. We further declare in favor of requiring
of each Immigrant to this country upon land-
ing upon our shores an oath of allegiance to
the constitution of the United States.
We also demand the suppression of all
trusts and combinations which are designed
to enrich the few at the expense of the many :
the reduction of the contract rate of interest
to 6 per cent; that the interest arising from
the funds of the state be turned into the
treasury and the infamous truck system be
rendered impossible by adequate legislation.
We also declare in favor or a civil Sabbath
.w and the enforcement thereof: securing to
the laborer one day in seven for rest.
With the foregoing purposes and principles
we say : be buried forever the grudges of sec-
tional and civil war: we know no north, no
south, no east, no west, but one country under
one flag and one constitution, and we. there-
fore, ask all citizens of every legitimate and
helpful business or occupation, regardless of
former party affiliations, to unite with us at
the ballot box on the above declaration and
platform, with malice toward none and
charity for all. %
Indiana Republican.
Adopted, at Ft. Wayne June 28.
The republicans of Indiana heartily approve
the declaration adopted by the republican na-
tional convention at Minneapolis. As citizens
of Indiana we congratulate the people of the
state upon the nomination for president of
the United States of Benjamin Harrison.
The administration of the national govern-
ment under his leadership has been marked
by such wisdom and patriotism as to impress
the whole country and give abundant assur-
ance that its continuance will add luster to
the American nation and increase the com-
fort of the American home. We commend
the candidates of the republican party of the
nation as worthy of the suffrages of an in-
telligent and patriotic people.
The democratic party has often demon-
strated its incapacity for governing in both
national and state affairs. In Indiana, be-
lieving that it was intrenched behind a gerry-
mander of surpassing iniquity, it has shown a
reckless disregard of the people's interest and
welfare, imposing intolerable burdens without
benefit. We therefore condemn the demo-
cratic management of our state affairs as in-
competent, wasteful, and in the interest of
puny managers, and in this connection direct
attention especially to the subjects hereafter
mentioned.
Debt and democracy are synonymous terms
with the taxpayers of Indiana. Unparalleled
extravagance in public expenditures has
marked the course of the democracy in
Indiana during the past decade, until the state
is burdened with a debt of $9,000,000. The cur-
rent expense of the state government has in-
creased by reckless management. The bur-
dens thus imposed have become too oppressive
to be endured. Our progress as a people has
become greatly impeded, and the credit of the
state will soon become seriously impaired un-
less radical changes in the conduct of our
public business are speedily introduced. Re-
lief lies with the people, and we invite the
voters of all political opinions to unite in
turning out of power the party that has al-
ways been false to its pledges of economy and
reform.
We arraign the democratic party of Indiana
for enacting an unequal and uniust tax law.
It imposes upon the farmer, laborer and
householder an excessive and unjust share of
public burden; it creates a great number of
unnecessary officers hitherto unknown to law.
To the burden of taxation, already too heavy,
it adds more than $100.COO for the fees, salaries
and expenses of these offices and officers.
We demand its speedy revision. We pledge
ourselves to enact such amendments to the
present tax law as shall relieve the farm and
the home from the unjust taxation now borne
by them; which shall place a just share of the
public burden on capital and provide a more
simple and less expensive system.
We condemn the action of the last demo-
cratic legislature in largely increasingthe fees
and salaries of the state and county officers.
It made many sinecures by providing for the
performance of official duties by deputies,
paid out of the public funds.
The law passed by the last democratic as-
sembly apportioning the state for legislative
and congressional purposes was designed and
wickedly framed so as to deny to many coun-
ties and localities fair and equal representa-
tion in the legislative department of the state
and nation; to place and retain under demo-
cratic control in this state all its public insti-
tutions and affairs and to give that party an
increased and unfair representation in con-
gress and the legislature. Such a policy is
dangerous and destructive of all good govern-
ment and merits the condemnation of all
patriotic people. And we now pledge the re-
publican party to continue the war against
this dishonest policy of the democratic party
until the state shall be honestly apportioned
by giving to each county and locality its fair
and equitable representation in proportion to
its numbers.
We denounce the purpose of the democratic
party, clearly avowed in the national plat-
form, to repeal the law imposing a 10 per cent
tax on state bank issues, and thus remove the
only barrier to a return of the system of
"wildcat" money which once disgraced our
state and largely impoverished our people.
The democratic party deserves the emphatic
condemnation of every citizen of the state for
its refusal to place our benevolent institu-
tions upon a nonpartisan basis, when murder,
cruelty, debauchery, fraud and incompetency
mark that party's management of those in-
stitutions, and for still persisting in retaining
partisan control of the helpless and unfortu-
nate that they may be made the coin in pay-
ment for party s'ervices. We therefore de-
mand an absolute non-partisan management
of the benevolent and reformatory institu-
tions of the state, through boards whose mem-
bers shall be appointed by the governor from
the different political parties of the state, to
14U
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1S93.
that end that they may be relieved from the
present profligate management.
We favor the enactment by congress of a
law thrice recommended by President Harri-
son compelling the use of standard safety car-
couplers for the protection of the lives and
inibs of employes engaged in interstate com-
merce. The people in the employ of railroad
companies in this state form a large percent-
age of its population and are jusMy entitled to
such legislation as will placj them on an
equality with such corporations before the
law, and we are opposed to railways main-
taining insurance companies by coercing their
mployes to become members of them. The
mployers of labor should be liable in dam-
ages for injuries to persons or destruction of
life where the employer is more at fault than
the employe. We also favor a law governing
convict labor in the penal institutions of the
state that will work the loast possible Injury
to free labor. We are in sympathy with all
well-directed efforts of laboring men to im-
prove their condition, by united action or
otherwise, and pledge ourselves to give them
such legislation as will tend to advance the
nterests of wage-workers.
We most heartily indorse the generous pen-
ilon laws enacted by republicans in congress
and congratulate the country that during the
administration of President Harrison no pen-
ion bill has been vetoed. We demand that
uitable and proper provisions be made for
he care and maintenance of indigent soldiers
and their wives and widows, to the end that no
oldier, or the wife or widow of a soldier,
shall ever be an inmate of a poorhouse in the
tate of Indiana; and that such provisions bo
made that the soldier when overtaken by pov-
erty and adversity shall not in his declining
years be separated from the wife of his
youth. We therefore advocate the establish-
ment by the state in connection with the Indi-
ana department of the Grand Army of the
Republic of a suitable state soldiers' home for
the care and maintenance of indigent soldiers
and their wives and widows, upon the plan
recommended by the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
The people of Indiana cherish the memory
of Alvin P. Hovey. He was a native of this
state, and with only such opportunities as
were open to all, arose to high position in the
state and nation and distinguished himself as
a jurist, soldier and statesman. The repub-
licans of Indiana lament his death as the loss
of a trusted leader and statesman who
crowned a long and useful career by a courag-
eous and manly defense of the constitution
he helped to frame and of the just powers of
the suite's chief executive.
We tender to that eminent republican lead-
r James G. Blaine, and to the members of
lis family, our sincere sympathy, and with
them mourn the loss of those who so recently
formed part of their family circle.
Indiana Democrat.
Adopted at Indianapolis April 21.
The democracy of Indiana, in convention
assembled, reaffirms its devotion to the time-
honored principles of its historic party. It be-
lieves that the powers delegated by the people
should be strictly construed: that the auto-
nomy of states and the rights of local self-
government and home rule should be zeal-
ously guarded; that no money should be
taken from the people under any pretext for
ot'ier than public purposes; that the strictest
economy should be exercised in all govern-
ment expenditures, whether local, state or
national; that legislation should be confined
to the legitimate objects of government: that
public office Is a solemn "uMic trust. It is un-
compromisingly opposed to the enlargement
and concentration of federal powers; to the
usurpation by the central government of the
functions of the states; to subsidies in every
form; to every species of class legislation and
government partnership with private enter-
prise; to the whole theory of paternalism.
We believe that in a free country the curtail-
ment of absolute rights of the individual
should only be such as is essential to the
peace and good order of the community, and
we regard all legislation looking to the in-
fringement of liberty of person or conscience
not absolutely necessary to the maintenance
of public order as vicious in principal and
demoralizing in practice.
We arraign the administration of Benjamin
Harrison for its subserviency to the interests
of the money power which created it and its
indifference to the welfare of the people; for
its brazen violation of its solemn pledges to
the country to elevate and purify the public
service; for its shameless prostitution of the
public patronage to the vilest partisan pur-
poses, as illustrated by the Bale of a cabinet
office to John Wanamaker, by the employment
of the pension bureau as a party machine, and
by the promotion of William A. Woods to a
high post in the federal judiciary as a reward
for his services in saving the "blocks of five"
conspirators from the penitentiary; for its
contemptuous repudiation of its promises to
the veteran soldiers of the union; for its
wicked attempt to fasten upon the country the
odious and un-American force bill, intended to
deprive the people of the right to regulate their
own elections; for its weak and demagogical
policy, which has exhibited the American gov-
ernment to the world as a bully toward the
feeble and a truckler to the powerful.
We favor such a radical and comprehensive
measure of tariff reform as shall relieve the
necessities of the people and the crude mater-
ial of our manufactures from federal taxa-
tion. We condemn the so-called reciprocity
policy as a transparent attempt to impose on
the American people the shadow of commer-
cial freedom for its substance in order to per-
petuate the existing svstem of licensed spolia-
tion for the benefit of trusts and monopolies,
which are the chief support of the republlcian
party.
We believe that there should be kept In con-
stant circulation a full and sufficient volume
of money, consisting of gold, silver and legal
tender paper currency at par with each other.
We favor the election of United State sena-
tors directly by the people and commend
Senator Turpie for his efforts in congress to
secure this great reform. We Indorse the
course of our distinguished senators, Daniel
W. Voorhees and David Turpie.
We most heartily applaud the action of our
two last legislatures in passing the school-
book laws, thereby giving the people of Indiana
a complete series of school text-books equal
to those formerly used, at one-half the old
trust prices. We pledge ourselves to resist
every attempt of the schoolbook combine to
regain their control of Indiana, and by that
means bring about frequent expensive
charges in books, of which the people justly
complained in former years.
We approve the Australian election system
introduced in Indiana by the democratic
party. It has stood the test of experience
and we are in favor of maintaining it in the
act.
This convention hereby renews the expres-
sion of appreciation of the patriotism or the
union soldiers of Indiana in the war for the
preservation of the union, and we favor just
and liberal pensions for all disabled soldiers,
their widows and dependents, and most hearti-
ly indorse the action of the Grand Army of the
PARTY PLATFORMS.

Republic looking to the establishment of a
state home where crippled and indigent sol-
diers may pass their few remaining days with
their wives. But we demand that the work of
the pension office shall be done industriously,
impartially and honestly. We denounce the
administration of that office by the present
commissioner, Green B. Raum. as incompe-
tent, corrupt, disgraceful and dishonest, and
we demand his immediate removal from office.
We heartily indorse the new tax law as a
wise and beneficent act, by which the increased
revenues necessary for the support of the state
government are raised entirely from the cor-
porations of the state, that had heretofore
unjustly escaped their fair proportion of taxa-
tion. We commend the legislature for ref us-
ng to adopt Gov. Hovey's recommenda-
tion to increase the state levy from 12 cents
to 25 cents on the $100 and for meeting the
necessary expenses of the state's benevolent
'nstitutions by a levy of 6 cents on the $100.
We denounce the infamous conspiracy of
the republican county commissioners, town-
ship trustees and other officials of Indiana,
who, for the purpose of creating unfair prej-
udice against ihe new tax law, have wanton-
ly and needlessly increased the local taxes in
the forty-six counties controlled by them
more than $1,250.000 a sum greater than the
total increase of state taxes in the entire
state. We call on the tax-payers of those
counties to rebuke at the polls those local of-
ficials who have put this needless and oppress-
ive burden upon them. That the law is in
the interest or the masses is attested by the
fact that corporate wealth has arrayed itself
against it and is now engaged in a desperate
struggle in the courts for its overthrow.
Inasmuch as the exemption of the green-
back currency from taxation by national law
is not only unjust in principle but also is the
occasion of much fraudulent evasion of local
tax laws, and inasmuch as inter-state trans-
portation companies are exempted from
equitable taxation by the constitutional pow-
ers conferred on congress, we demand that
the Indiana senators and representatives in
congress use their influence to secure the
passage of laws making greenbacks taxable
as other money and making inter-state com-
merce taxable on the same terms as the
domestic commerce.
We congratulate the tax-payers of Indiana
on the adoption by the last legislature of the
system of paying public officials stated sal-
aries instead of giving them power to com-
pensate themselves by fees and perquisites.
We reaffirm our unswerving devotion to the
interests of public education, not only as
identified with the common-school system but
also in connection with the higher institutions
of learning, free public libraries and all other
legitimate means for promoting and preserv-
ing the virtue and intelligence of the people.
The democratic party stands by its record as
the friend of the masses as against the
classes, and calls the attention of the laboring
men of Indiana to the fact that it has given to
them the eight-hour law. the law to prevent
blacklisting, the law prohibiting "pluck-me"
stores, the law for the protection of miners,
and laws which make it impossible for Pink-
erton detectives to arrest or slay laboring
men in Indiana because of their efforts toward
self-protection. For twenty-five years the re-
publican party has legislated for the rich and
powerful and in the interest of corporate
wealth. The democratic party pledges itself
to remedy the evils growing out of such class
legislation and in all future contests to stand
by the great producing masses, whose toil and
self-sacrifice are at the foundation of all nat-
ural wealth. We commend the organizations
of the industrial classes for self-protection
against trusts, combines and monopolies, and
call the attention of the farmers and laborers
to the fact that every evil complained of by
them is the result of republican legislation.
Resolved, That this convention indorses the
ise and patriotic administration of Groyer
Cleveland; that the presidential campaign
of 1892 should be conducted on the issue of
tariff reform as defined in the presidential
message of 1887; that upon this issue Mr. Cleve-
land is the logical candidate of the demo-
cratic party.
Resolved, That the democratic party of In-
diana expresses its unalterable confidence in
and attachment to its gallant leader, Isaac P.
Gray; that it holds him to be worthy of any
honor in the gift of the American people, and
that his name be presented to the convention
by the delegation this day appointed, and in
the event that the national convention deems
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland Inexpedient,
the delegation is Instructed to use every hon-
orable effort to secure the nomination of ex-
Gov. Isaac P. Gray for the presidency.
Indiana People's Party.
Adapted at Indianapolis May 27.
Preamble In view of the great social, indus-
trial and economic revolution now dawning
on the civilized world, and the new and living
issues confronting the American people, and
recognizing that in all ages and all civiliza-
tions the great middle class has been the bul-
wark of civil liberty the breakwater against
fanaticism, whether in church or state; and
as the life cf this republic, the spirit of civil
and religious liberty, must find their "city of
refuge" m the homes and their citadel of
safety in the hearts of the great middle class
of our people, the people's party believes the
time has arrived for a crystallization of the
reform forces of our state. Therefore, we
invite all persons who are desirous of better-
ing their condition to join with us in eradi-
cating the evils which are now so rapidly
destroying the body-politic.
Finance We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible, issued by the general
government only, a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that without
the use of banking corporations; a just, equi-
table and efficient means of distributing
direct to the people at a tax not to exceed 2
per cent, to be provided as set forth in the
sub-treasury plan of the Farmers' alliance or
some better system; also by payments in dis-
charge of its obligations for public improve-
ments.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, and condemn President Harrison for
calling the international monetary conference
and inviting other nations to assist us in fixing
a value on our silver. We regard it as an
effort to demonetize the silver dollar by an
international agreement.
We demand that the amount of the circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than $50 per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the gov-
ernment, economically and honestly adminis-
tered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es-
tablished by the government for the safe de-
posit of the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
Transportation Transportation being a
means of exchange and a public necessity, the
government should own and operate the rail
roads in the interest of the people.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post-
ffice system, being a necessity for the trans-
nission of news, snould be owned and oper-
ited by the government in the interest of the
Land The land, including all the natural
lources of wealth, is the heritage of the peo-
>le and should not be monopolized for specu-
ative purposes; an alien ownership of land
ihould be prohibited; all lands now held by
ailroads and other corporations in excess of
heir actual needs and all lands now owned
>y aliens should be reclaimed by the govern-
nent and held by actual settlers "only.
State Demands We demand that our
present election law be so amended as to al-
ow all political parties representation on the
election boards.
We demand that the state be redistricted
with absolute fairness, and that in making up
the representative, senatorial and congres-
sional districts no efforts be made to disfran-
jhise any class of citizens.
We demand an amendment of the present
tax law to the extent that all property be
valued for the purpose of taxation according
;o the net receipts derived therefrom.
We demand that all official fees be covered
into the public treasury and officers be paid
what their services are worth in the open
market.
We demand that county superintendents be
elected by a vote of the people.
We demand that the office of county assess-
or be abolished and that the township assess-

We demand such revision of the law for the
isting of property for taxation that shall
compel all property, both real and personal,
to be listed at a fair cash value and proper
;redit be given for all bona-flde indebtedness.
Resolved, We demand that the government
ssue legal-tender notes and pay the union
?oldiers the difference between the price of
the depreciated money in which they were
paid, and gold.
Resolved, That we favor the enactment of
aws under which the people may vote period-
cally upon doctrine and policies, without the
ntervention of parties or candidates, the re-
sults of these elections to be considered as
nstructions to our legislative servants, and to
be enforced by impeachment when such in-
structions are disregarded.
Our national convention is respectfully
asked to adopt this plank.
Resolved, That the right to vote is inherent
n citizenship without regard to sex.
Resolved, That excessive wealth and ex-
treme poverty are the two great causes of
intemperance. We believe that in the proper
distribution of the wealth of the country by a
correct adjustment of our medium of ex-
change intemperance would be greatly re-
duced
Indiana Prohibitionists.
Adopted at Indianapolis May 26.
Believing in Almighty God as the Ruler of
the nations, and recognizing the people as the
true source of political power, and affirming
that all legislation should be in the interest
of all the people, and appealing to the patriot-
ism of our citizens, the prohibition party of
Indiana adopts the following platform:
1. We declare that the traffic in alcoholic
beverages should be made a public crime and
adequately punished as such, and that the
manufacture, importation, exportation and
transportation of such beverages should be
prohibited by law.
2. Believing that all class legislation is wrong
and that "equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none" should be the motto of our
government in all its relations to the people,
therefore we declare that the general govern-
ment, without the intervention of banks,
should issue the circulating medium of a suf-
ficient volume for the transaction of the busi-
ness of the country in a manner which will be
ust to the debtor as well as the creditor class.
Said circulating medium to consistof gold and
silver coin and United States treasury notes,
each to be a full legal tender for all debts,
public and private, and each to be taxable.
3. We favor the government control in the
nterest of the people, to the extent of owner-
ship, if necessary, of the public means of
transportation and communication.
4. We favor such a graduated system of
taxation as will place the burdens of govern-
ment in just proportions upon the wealth of
the country, and the removal of all tariff from
the necessaries of life.
5. That we recognize the W. C. T. U. as a
faithful and powerful influence in the work
of moral reforms, the purification of P9litics
and perpetuation of our civil and religious
' berty, and declare that all restrictions on
suffrage should apply equally to both sexes.
6. We favor the passage of laws prohibiting
the alien ownership of lands, and that all
lands now held by railroads and other corpo-
rations in excess of their actual needs be re-
claimed by the government, in accordance
with the principles of justice, and held for
actual settlers.
7. Our immigration laws should be so re-
vised as to exclude from our shores all dis-
eased persons, paupers and criminals. The
time of residence for naturalization should
be extended, and no naturalized person
should vote within two years after such nat-
uralization.
8. All official fees should be covered into the
public treasury, and officials be paid reason
able salaries for services actually rendered.
9. We favor the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
10. We favor the establishment of postal
saving banks by the general government.
11. The speculation in margins, the corner-
ing of grain, money and products, for the arbi-
trary control of production and prices, should
be prohibited.
12. We denounce as infamous the so-called
"age of consent" laws, and declare for the re-
moval of all such means of defense for the
violation of chastity.
13. We favor the enactment of laws prohib-
iting the employment of children under 15
years of age in factories, mines and work
shops.
14. We favor the abolition of contract con
vict labor.
15. Every honorably discharged union sol
dier and sailor of the war merits and sho'uld
have a pension, based upon service and dis
ability, without regard to rank.
16. With full faith in our cause, as embodied
in the foregoing platform, we invite the co-
operation of all voters of this country in
securing such reforms.
Iowa Republicans.
Adopted at Des Jfmnes June 29.
Resolved, That the republican party of
Iowa in convention assembled hereby rati-
fies in terms of unqualified approval the
nomination of Gen. Benjamin Harrison and
the Hon. Whitelaw Reid as our standard-bear
ers in the national campaign. The prosperity
of the nation under the able and patriotic
administration of President Harrison com
mands the admiration of all good citizens.
Resolved, That the platform enunciated by
the republican national convention is broad
enough, strong enough, and all-sufficient
PARTY PLATFORMS.

the basis of union in the contest before us.
While we unhesitatingly ratify and indorse
that platform in all its parts we point with
special pride to the attitude upon the tariff
'ssue. the silver problem, the temperance
question, and its demands for a pure and un-
trammeled ballot.
Resolved, That we denounce the democratic
party for Its declaration in its recent national
convention in Chicago in insisting upon the
abolition of the national tax on the issue of
state banks. That after more than a quarter
of a century of continuous prosperity with a
sound currency under the wise and benefi-
cent system evolved and maintained by the
republican party, we condemn and denounce
the attempt to reinstate wildcat money and
worthless bank notes, which at one time
ruined all financial interests of the country.
Iowa Democrats.
Adovted at Davenport Aug. 18.
1. The democrats of Iowa in convention as-
sembled heartily indorse the platform of
principles enunciated at the national conven-
tion held at Chicago and the nomination of
Grover Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson for
president and vice-president. The adminis-
tration of Grover Cleveland of the high of-
fice of president for four years was wise,
C9urageous, honest, and conservative, and
his nomination for the third time by the rep-
resentatives of the national democracy gives
special force to the reforms suggested in his
official messages and his public utterances.
We haii the opportunity for a full discussion
and a determination by ballot of the para-
mount issues which the national platform
and the candidates suggest to wit. radical
reform of the tariff and the maintenance
and perpetuity of the doctrine of local self-
government; and we pledge our earnest and
united support to these principles.
2. We renew with pride and pleasure our
commendation of Gov. Horace Boies. His
faithful, honorable, and wise administration
of the office intrusted to his care merits the
approval of every patriotic citizen within the
state.
3. We recognize the effort of the popular
branch of the congress of the United States
to secure a reform of the tariff, and we con-
demn the republican senate for its failure to
consider measures passed by the popular
branch, particularly when the people them-
selves had declared against the high protec-
tion policy represented by the McKinley bill
by an overwhelming majority in the election
of 1890. The failure of the republican national
administration and the republican senate to
bow to the verdict of the people at the polls
is a denial of the right of the popular sover-
eignty such as was not contemplated by the
founders of the republic, and such as would
not be tolerated in any other civilized country
on the globe.
4. We are in thorough sympathy with the
multitude of honest toilers throughout the
land, and we observe with deep solicitude the
conflicts between capital and labor which
manifest themselves in the ever-increasing
number and scope of lockouts and strikes.
These conditions are chargeable to the policy
of the republican party, which has for its
object the disbursement of taxes among the
favored few and the maintenance of privi-
leged classes at the expense of the masses.
o. We reiterate the principles enunciated in
the platforms of the democracy of Iowa in
1889 and since that time touching the regula-
tion of the liquor traffic, and commend the
democratic members of the last general
assembly for their honest efforts to secure a
reform in legislation upon this question. The
10 ""
doctrine of license and local option, as
declared by the democratic party of this
state, has in two successive state elections
been approved by a majority of voters; and
with the continued approval of the people we
pledge ourselves to the enactment of laws
which shall give the people in their respect-
ive localities the management and control of
this traffic.
6. The present system of managing our
state institutions through separate boards of
trustees has led to extravagance, both in
their construction and their maintenance,
until more than two-thirds of the entire reve-
nues of the state are annually absorbed by
them. This system was the natural out-
growth of conditions which left the state in
the exclusive control of one political party
for more than a third of a century, and re-
quired of such party that it furnish places
for a worse than useless number of ambitious
partisans We demand the abolition of these
separate boards of trustees and the substitu-
tion therefor of a single board of control, non-
partisan in its character, impartial as between
the several institutions, and thoughtful of
their interests and those of the state alike.
7. We declare our purpose to nominate can-
didates for the United States senate in gen-
eral convention, and demand such a change
in our national constitution as will permit
the election of the same by a direct vote of
the people.
8. We insist on just and equal taxation for
state and local purposes, and hence we hail
with joy the efforts now made and making to
change our present cumbersome and incon-
gruous system for raising the necessary reve-
nue to a general and harmonious plan that
shall rest on proper and correct principles.
9. Recognizing their vast importance to all
interests, we are heartily in favor of the
movement for better roads which has been
successfully inaugurated in 9ur state and
commend the same to the active support of
the public.
10. We denounce as un-American any soci-
ety or organization that is pledged to deprive
any citizen of his right to vote or hold office
on account of his religious beliefs or nation-
ality.
Iowa People's Party.
Adopted at Des Moines June 7.
We demand a national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the general govern-
ment only, a full legal tender for all debts,
public .and private, and that without the use
of banking corporations, a just, equitable and
efficient means of distribution direct to the
people at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent be
devised, as set forth in the sub-treasury plan
of the Farmers' alliance, or some better sys-
tem; also by payments in the discharge of its
obligations for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
We demand that the amount of circulating
medium be speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and we demand that all
state and national revenues shall be limited
to the necessary expenses of the government
economically and honestly administered.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
The land, including all the natural sources
of wealth, is the heritage of all the people
and should not be monopolized for specula-
tive purposes, and alien ownership of land

should be prohibited. All lands now held by
railroads and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs and all lands now owned
by aliens should be reclaimed by the govern-
ment and held for actual settlers only.
Transportation being a means of exchange
and a public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people. The telegraph and the tele-
phone, like the postal system, being a neces-
sity for the transmission of news, should be
owned and operated by the goverment in the
interest of the people.
The following resolutions were passed as an
expression of the sentiments of your commit-
tee:
Resolved, That we condemn the nine mem-
bers of congress who, elected on expressed
and implied pledges to secure to our people
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
basely betrayed the trust reposed in them and
violated their pledges by their votes. And
that we condemn President Harrison and his
administration for calling an international
monetary conference and inviting other na-
tions to assist us in fixing a value on our
silver. We regard this as an effort to demon-
etize the silver dollar by and with the aid of
the enemies of our flag and our free institu-
tions.
Resolved, By the people's party of Iowa in
state convention assembled, that we take de-
light in saying to the Omaha convention that
we have in Iowa a man under whose leader-
ship her citizens would delight to go forth to
battle in the coming struggle for industrial
emancipation; a man whom we believe the
whole country would delight to honor namely,
Gen. James B. Weaver; and while we thus de-
clare ourselves as his supporters for the ex-
alted position, we as unhesitatingly yield to
the wisdom of the national convention and as
firmly pledge ourselves to the nominee of its
choice.
Iowa Prohibition.
Adopted at Des Moines June 1.
The prohibition party in the state of Iowa
in convention assembled, acknowledging
Almighty God as the source of all power in
government, and the holy scriptures as the
basis of all civil law, do hereby declare:
That we favor the absolute prohibition of
manufacture, transportation and sale of alco-
holic liquors as a beverage.
We demand the right of suffrage to all
natural-born or properly naturalized citizens
without regard to sex.
We favor arbitration as the method of
settlement of all local, inter-state and inter-
national difficulties.
We demand that the American laborer shall
be protected from competition with foreign
and home criminal labor, and that all labor-
ers shall receive equal pay for equal work in
We demand that educational and moral
qualification shall be added to a residence of
five years in the United States as a condition
of naturalization.
That this convention oppose the opening of
the gates of the Columbian Exposition on
the sabbath day.
Michigan Republicans.
Adopted at Detroit April 14.
The republicans of Michigan feel a common
pride with their compatriots throughout the
union over the continued gratifying success
of the great principles which have inspired its
energy and controlled its actions since the
organization of the party. We review with
profound satisfaction the record it has made
in the past and its unparalleled achievements,
so conducive to and so manifestly indicative
of the broad character of national states-
manship. Admiration of this uninterrupted
progress under its auspices toward an ideal
government of the people, by the people
and for the people is not less thorough
nor more gratifying than are the bright
prospects of further advantage and future
triumphs.
We most heartily indorse the glorious work
of the republican majority in the List
congress of the United States, and will do all
in our power to uphold and sustain the vic-
tories already won for the grand triple policy
of protection, reciprocity and honest money.
In the language of the republican platform
of 1888, we demand effective legislation by con-
gress to secure the 1 integrity and purity of
national elections, and that our representa-
tives in the United States congress do ah in
their power to secure a law which will give to
every elector a free ballot and to every vote a
fair count.
We heartily approve of the forceful, fearless
and dignified policy of the administration of
President Benjamin Harrison, wbo has been
so ably assisted in all his sagacious and loyal
endeavors by that noble patriot and states-
man, James G. Blaine, in the promulgation of
true and progressive American principles.
While the republicans of Michigan recognize
the sterling worth and ability of our distin-
guished fellow-citizen, Gen. llussell A. Alger.
whose claims to recognition as a presidential
standard-bearer have been familiar to the
people of this nation since his name was first
presented to the convention at Chicago in
1888, we can safely leave to the collective judg-
ment of the representatives of the party at
Minneapolis in June next the selection of a
leader who will head the triumphant march
of our hosts to victory at the polls in Novem-
ber, pledging to the nominee of the conven-
tion our unqualified co-operation and un-
swerving devotion.
Michigan Democrats.
Adopted at Grand Rapids Aug. 17.
We congratulate the -country and the demo-
cratic party on the nomination made at Chi-
cago of Grover Cleveland and Adlai E. Steven-
son for president and vice-president respect-
ively, as it gives assurance of a repetition of
the wise statesmanship and economical ad-
ministration with which the country was
blessed from 1885 to 1889, and we pledge them
our hearty support.
We commend the honest, faithful and eco-
nomical administration of Gov. Edwin B.
Winans, who has set an example well worthy
of emulation by his successor and of well-
earned gratitude of the people of the state.
The democratic party is the only party
founded upon the principles of the immortal
declaration of American independence and
the constitution of the United States, whereby
all citizens are regarded as equal before the
law, and the rights of freedom of speech, free-
dom of the press, freedom of action and free-
dom of conscience, or religious freedom are
fully guaranteed and maintained, so far as
the exercise thereof does not interfere with
the constitutional and legal rights of others,
and no abridgments of such rights shall be
tolerated. It has always been the friend and
defender of the masses of the people against
the encroachments upon their rights and
privileges by the self-constituted aristocracy
of the land. It believes that a people least
governed is the best governed; that the intel-
ligence and patriotism of the masses is a suf-
ficient and sure guaranty to the stability of
the national union of the states and the safety
and peace and prosperity of its citizens. That

the civil authorities of the state are the con-
stitutional conservators of the peace and that
the military should only be called into requisi-
tion in cases of great emergency, aud then
only as aids and subordinates to the civil
authorities, and we denounce the employment
by urivate individuals and corporations of
armed bodies of men, no matter under what
pretense, as a menace to the peace and wel-
fare of the country and states, and we de-
mand at the hands of our legislators the
enactment of such laws as will in the future
prohibit the employment and use of such
forces, and severe punishment therefor, to the
end that Pinkertonism and kindred organiza-
tions may be relegated to obscurity and dis-
grace.
We denoxmce the McKinley tariff law as the
culminating atrocity of class legislation. It
has not increased the price of the products of
our farms nor increased the wages of labor
and we indorse the action of the present
democratic congress in attempting to repeal
its most oppressive features.
Resolved. That we condemn the republican
party for demonetizing and degrading silver,
and thus bringing upon the country the train
of evils resulting therefrom, and would com-
mend to our representatives in congress the
fact that a large majority of the people of
this state are in faror of restoring silver to
its time-honored and rightful place as the coin
of the nation, co-equal with gold. We demand
that henceforth the issuing of all circulating
medium be made under acts of congress
through the national treasury In such
amounts as the business wants of the country
require.
WH!
HE RE AS. Recent labor troubles at Home-
stead and elsewhere have caused general dis-
aster and great injustice; and
WHEREAS. This convention desires to affirm
the democratic doctrine that all such disputes
should be settled by fair and judicial arbitra-
tion; therefore.
Resolved. That it is the duty of the state
legislature to establish a proper tribunal, with
power to summon defendants before it, adjust
all disputes and enforce its judgments by
proper process; that we pledge the democracy
of the state of Michigan to the establishment
of such a tribunal, where laboring men and
labor organizations can have a fair hearing
and proper redress.
For the better protection of our mines and
mining laborers we favor the amendment of
existing laws relating to mine inspectors so as
to provide for the election of such officers by
direct vote of the people.
R -solved. That the action of Gov. Winans in
recommending to the legislature in special
session a commission to devise means for the
mprovement of our country roads meets with
our hearty commendation and that we hope
that the next legislature will take prompt
action upon this subject.
WHEUEAS The present methods adopted in
the management of our penal and reforma-
tory institutions, whereby the goods produced
by the employment of convict labor are
brought In ruinous competition with the prod-
ucts of law-abiding citizens engaged in
legitimate enterprises, which competition is
destructive of the interests of the workmen
and mechanic as well as the capital employed;
therefore be it
Resolved. That we heartily recommend the
adoption of such legislation as will change
tlie present system, under which the prisoners
of the state are employed, by diverting from
the legitimate avenues of trade the proceeds
of their labor either by engaging them in con-
structing the highways of the state or such
other manner as the legislature may d5em
best calculated to render their operations
least harmful to the success of honest labor
or least dangerous to the existence of legiti-
mate established industries.

Resolved, That in order to vouchsafe to the
people liberty of thought and conscience, and
speech and press, we demand :
1. The absolute and continued separation of
church and state.
2. That there shall be no appropriation of
either state or municipal funds, or property,
to any religious, sectarian or religio-politico
institutions.
3. That all schools for the general education
of the young shall be under the supervision
and inspection of the state.
Resolved, That a private army is a standing
menace to the liberty of the American people;
and we denounce that band of mercenaries
known as Pinkertons.
Resolved, That the system of employing
convicts in our penal institutions, in any in-
dustry that enters into competion with free
labor, should be abolished.
Resolved, That our convict labor should be
employed in improving our public highways.
Resolved, That all manufactured articles
should bear the name of the manufacturer,
and that the destroying, defacing, or covering
up In any way the name of the manufacturer
shall be deemed a misdemeanor.
Resolved, That as the proprietors of manu-
facturing institutions and mines are attempt-
ing to make inop rative the Australian or
secret-ballot system by compelling their em-
ployes to work on election days, we demand
that all election days be made legal holidays.
Resolved, That mine inspectors should be
elected by the people instead of by the board
of supervisors who are now controlled by the
mining corporations.
Resolved, That all lands sold for delinquent
taxes shall be purchased by the state; the
title, after a reasonable time, if not redeemed,
to become absolute and held for actual set-
tlers in limited quantities.
Resolved, That the people should have the
right to propose laws and to vote upon all
legislative measures of importance; and we
demand the initiative and the referendum.
Resolred, That we are in favor of eoual suf-
frage with an educational qualification.
And finally we declare ourselves uncom-
promisingly opposed to all monopolistic trusts
and combines of whatever nature they may
Resolved, That in cases of difficulty between
employers and employes we favor its submis-
sion to arbitration.
Michigan Prohibitionists.
Adopted at Oivosso Aug. 11.
We favor and when we come into power
will establish a practical and efficient system
of the civil service, based upon the present
system.
WHEREAS, Many young men, whose habits
are not formed and who have anxious parents
deeply interested in their welfare, enlist in the
service of the state and attend the annual en-
campment of our state troops, we believe it to
be the duty of our state authorities to sur-
round all young men in such service with
moral influences. We therefore regard with
abhorrence the act of our state government in
providing for the sale of intoxicating liquor to
the troops while in the service of the state.
Akin to this is the equally burning disgrace of
permitting the debauching of the youth of our
state and nation in attendance at our state ed-
ucational institution by the refusal of both
148

old party legislatures to protect them from the
open saloon and brothels at the very doors of
these. We call upon all voters to help in oust-
ing from power parties who now, by permitting
such outrages, have proved themselves trai-
tors to the best home and moral interests of
the state.
All pay for public services should be reason-
able salaries and not by fees, and where fees
are exacted they should be covered Into the
public treasury.
The granting of passes by railroads to pub-
lic officers should be prohibited and their
acceptance should be made a misdemeanor.
We further favor a graduated income tax.
We render the White Rose league our sin-
cere thanks for Its efficient aid in the prohibi-
tipn party work and rejoice in its rapidly
widening nfluence in the state and nation.
We arraign for public condemnation the
pusillanimous and truckling utterances of the
democratic and republican national platforms
on the liquor question. The anti-sumptuary
declaration of one and the expression of sym-
pathy for temperance by the other are equally
unmeaning and misleading and show the
utter weakness of such old organizations. It
is equally apparent that the newly launched
craft, the so-called people's party, after
numerous fruitless attempts to indorse prohi-
bition as an issue, has already fatally stranded
on this rock.
Recognizing the vital importance of the
thorough organization of the prohibition
students of our land, we heartily indorse the
[nter-Collegiate Prohibition Association of the
United States, organized at Cincinnati last
June, and we commend its work to the con-
sideration and support of all true prohibi-
tionists.
We repudiate the principle of local option
as a humiliating and degrading compromise
with wrong, and a base subterfuge used by
dominant parties, in league with the saloon
power, to quiet an awakening public con-
science and yet retain the temperance voters
n the rural districts without alienating the
ilum votes of the city
Property covered by delinquent taxes, after
ample time for redemption, should revert to
he state and not be sold to speculators.
We Insist upon the right of the state to re-
quire that all of its youth be educated in the
3Ommon branches of the English language,
and that all schools, public and private, shall
>e under state inspection and supervision, and
that no public aid shall be granted to any edu-
cational institution not maintained by the
tate.
The right of suffrage should be granted to
ill citizens, regardless of sex.
No person should hereafter be given the bal-
ot who is unable to read and write the official
anguage of our country.
The chairman of the 6th district moved that
;he resolutions be read by their title the sec-
ond time, and that those planks which the con-
ention was satisfied with remain and those
not favorably considered be changed.
Minnesota Republicans.
Adopted at St. Paul July 28.
The republicans of Minnesota, through their
lelegates in convention assembled, do affirm
ind declare as follows:
1. We indorse and approve the platform of
;he republican national convention adopted
it Minneapolis June 10, 1892.
2. We indorse the wise, pure, firm and in-
;ensely American administration of President
Harrison.
3. From its very infancy and for upward of
a, third of a century our state has been man-
aged and guided by men and principles of the
republican party. During that period the
state has grown from a mere outpost of
scattered settlements to a commonwealth of
1.500,000 souls, prosperous and aggressive and
equal in moral, intellectual and commercial
vigor to the best of the older states. Such a
people,so prosperous and so growing,have not
been badly governed. Our state administra-
tions have been clean, able, and always loyal
to the best interests of the people. The ad-
ministration of Gov. William R. Merriam has
been in no way inferior to those of his pred-
ecessors, and may justly be regarded as a
model of faithfulness to a great public trust.
4. Recognizing that in some states force and
fraud are used to defeat the expression of the
will of the people, the republicans of Minne-
sota are in favor of all wise means to secure
to every citizen a free ballot and a fair count.
5. Trusts and combinations to control and
unduly enhance the price of commodities are
a great evil, the outgrowth of human cupid-
ity, and exist in all civilized communities,
regardless of tariff laws. We are opposed to
the same and are in favor of all proper legis-
lation to eradicate and repress the evil. In
this connection we refer with pride to the
establishment and maintenance at the state
prison at Stillwater of the manufacture of
binding twine, which has been the means of
protecting and defending our farmers against
one of the great trusts and monopolies.
6. We believe in protecting the laboring
man by all necessary and judicious legisla-
tion, and to this end we favor the enactment
of suitable laws to protect the health, life and
limb of all employes of transportation, min-
ing and manufacturing companies while en-
gaged in the service of such companies; (2)
the establishment in some form of boards or
tribunals of conciliation and arbitration for
the peaceful settlement of all disputes and
disagreements between capital and labor,
touching wages, hours of labor and such
questions as pertain to the safety and physical
and moral well-being of the laborer; () the
exclusion from our shores, by suitable laws
and regulations, of all paupers, criminals, con-
tract labor and other dangerous classes; and
(4) the preservation of the public domain for
actual and bona-flde settlers under the home-
stead law.
7. The farmers of this state, who constitute
the chief element of our productive wealth-
creating population, are entitled to the cheap-
est and best facilities for storing, shipping
and marketing their products, and to this end
we favor such laws as will eive them cheao,
safe and easily obtainable elevator and ware-
house facilities and will furnish them prompt-
ly and without discrimination, at fair and
reasonable rates, proper transportation facili-
ties to all accessible markets.
8. Railroad, telegraph and telephone com-
panies and all corporations or individuals
charged with and performing any public serv-
ice or employment are amenable to public
control, and we favor the enactment and en-
forcement of such laws as will compel them to
render the best and most approved service at a
fair, just and reasonable rate, without dis-
crimination as to persons or places.
9. The convention approves and readopts the
resolutipns passed by the last republican state
convention, urging upon congress the passage
of the Washburn-Hatch anti-option bill.
10. Realizing the importance to the people
of good public highways, we are In favor of
the enactment of laws for the systematic im-
provement and maintenance of the same.
11. The debt of this nation to the men who
preserved it cannot be computed from the
standpoint of dollars and cents. A nation's
gratitude is theirs, and in proof thereof the
republican party of Minnesota, not grudgingly.

system of pensions so liberal as to properly
provide for the living and tenderly protect
from want the widows and orphans of the

and great prosperity of the government they
served warrant us in making this pledge.
12. We recommend the work and the object

14. W HEUE AS.The republicans of Minnesota,
recognizing the conspicuous ability and fidel-
ity of Senator Cushman K. Davis, have mani-
fested substantial unanimity in demanding
his re-election to the position he has so ably
filled; and,
WHEREAS, Notable precedents are on rec-
ord for the nomination by state conventions
of men who are evidently the popular choice
for United States senator, thus making them
the recognized candidates of the party for
that high office; therefore,
Resolved, That this convention hereby pre-
sents the name of Cushman K. Davis as .the
chosen nominee and candidate of the repub-
lican party of the state of Minnesota for re-
election to the United States senate by the
legislature of 1893.
Minnesota Democrats,
Adopted at Minneapolis Aug. 3.
The democratic party of Minnesota gath-
ered in delegate convention mingle their
rejoicing with that of their fellows in the
nation that the earnest voice of the rank and
file of the party was heard and obeyed by the
national convention and found expression in
the nomination of the able and courageous
Cleveland for our leader, and in the bold, ex-
plicit declaration that republican protection
is a fraud, as a proof of which we point to
Homestead, where the militia of the state is
keeping peace in a quarrel over the spoils
between the real and the supposed benefi-
ciaries of protection.
We denounce the rapacious and conscience-
less combination which has grown up in the
state. With the connivance of republican
legislatures our grain markets have been
monopolized and our farmers robbed of the
fruits of their hard labors. We reaffirm our
belief that the combination rests upon the
fact that the railroads of this state have
abjured one of their primary functions, the
provision of suitable means for handling
grain, and have given the same over to the
control of private persons; and we again
declare our belief that the remedy, simple,
but efficacious, lies in legislation requiring the
roads to resume this proper function, thus
giving to every station a free and open market.
We recognize the great conspicuous fact
that the property of our government rests
upon labor, and that all legislation should be
shaped, so far as possible, to relieve it of all
unjust burdens and secure it its just share of
the benefit of our general prosperity.
We are opposed to state interference with
parental rights and rights of conscience in the
education of children as an infringement of
the fundamental democratic doctrine that the
largest individual liberty consistent with the
rights of others insures the highest type of
American citizenship and best government.
We again call the attention of the voters to
the manifest injustice and inequality of our
tax laws, under which wealth easily evades
its share of the public burdens and compels
moderate accumulations to bear the part it
shirks. And we again invite the coming leg-
islature to a serious consideration of the sub-
ject, to the end that a just, evenly bearing
system may be adopted.
The democratic party has always been and
is to-day the consistent opponent of all legis-
lation the result of which is to create law-
made wealth, which impoverishes the poor
and those of moderate means in order to
enrich the few. We condemn all use of the
taxing powers for this purpose. We call the
attention of the people of this state to the
fact that the mineral wealth at the northern
part of this state is not bearing its just share
of the public burdens. The non-resident mill-
ionaires who own iron mines whose value is,
at a moderate estimate, $2,000,000, under our
present statutes pay less than $9 per annum
in taxes. In exchange for the votes of 2,000
employes, coerced into voting the republican
ticket, the republican party has covenanted
to perpetuate this system and to deliver to
these men the government of one of the
counties of this state. We demand that this
condition of things be rectified.
We denounce all bounties and exemptions,
and demand that all taxes to be raised in this
state shall be as nearly equal as may be and
that all property on which taxes are to be
levied shall have a cash valuation and be
equalized and uniform.
Ard we call upon all good citizens without
distinction of party to join with us in defeat-
ing the proposed constitutional amendment
known as chapter 2 of the general laws of
1891, to be voted upon this fall, which seeks to
perpetuate this unjust system of taxation;
and while it pretends to levy taxes upon
sleeping cars it repeals the existing constitu-
tional tax of 3 per cent upon the gross earn-
ings of our railroads, now realizing for the
state a revenue of $725,000 and annually in-
creasing and places the rate of taxation upon
the earnings of such railroads at the caprice
of the legislature.
We especially call attention to and de-
nounce the form of the ballot for this pro-
posed amendment to be voted upon at the
coming election, which is known as "senate
file No. 124," as being especially designed to
mislead the voters, and we call upon all hon-
est citizens to assist in rebuking such "trickery.
Resolved, That we are in favor of a radical
chnge in the laws of this state, and demand
such legislation as will provide for intelligent
and economical supervision of the building
and maintenance or our country roads.
Resolved, That for the better security of our
government we recommend an amendment
to the federal constitution extending the
presidential term to six years and making a
president ineligible to re-election.
We favor also the election of president and
vice-president and senators of the United
States by a direct vote of the people.
Believing the contract system in force in the
state penitentiary to be wrong in principle,
prejudicial to the interests of the state, the
welfare of the convicts and an injustice to
honest labor, we demand its discontinuance
at the expiration of the present contracts, and
that the legislature prohibit any future con-
tracts and provide for the employment by
the state and for the state of all convicts and
persons confined in the penal and reformatory
institutions of the state.
Minnesota Prohibitionists.
Adopted at St. Paul June 1.
Recognizing the necessity of Divine guid-
ance to a wise administration and believing
that all government should be conducted for
the common welfare of the people, we make
the following declaration of principles:
The overshadowing question of the times is
the suppression of the liquor traflQc. The
150
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
organized liquor traffic Is the most formidable,
insidious and dangerous of all foes of good
government, social order and material pros-
perity.
We therefore demand the repea 1 by the
state of all laws licensing, permitting the
traffic in intoxicants or deriving any revenue
therefrom, and the absolute prohibition of
their manufacture and sale for beverage pur-
poses.
We also demand the entire prohibition by
the federal government within its jurisdiction
of the importation, exportation and manu-
facture of intoxicants and all traffic therein
for beverage purposes, and also the rei>eal of
all federal laws storing or taxing intoxicants,
or licensing or permitting their manufacture,
importation or sale for beverage purposes or
deriving any revenue therefrom, and the
enactment of adequate laws preventing tbe
transportation thereof into states having pro-
hibitory laws to be used contrary to the laws
of such states.
We believe that all laws legalizing the
saloon are in direct conflict with the objects
set forth in the preamble to the constitution
of the United States and of the several states,
and such laws should be and we believe will
be declared void.
We believe in the political equality of all
men and women and in the right and duty of
all citizens of proper age possessed of ade-
quate intelligence and education (not disqual-
ified by crime) to share in the honors and
responsibilities of government, including the
elective franchise, without distinction of race
or sex; but suffrage should be based upon
full citizenship and a proper educational qual-
ification. We favor the Australian system, so
framed as to insure equal justice to all polit-
ical parties and a free official ballot at public
expense; and we denounce the political chi-
canery of the old-party legislators in certain
states that seek, by incorporation of unjust
features into the system, to disfranchise
voters of weaker organizations, or so discrim-
inate against them as to render it extremely
difficult for them freely to exercise their right
of suffrage.
We favor the election of president, vice-
president and United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
We demand the abolition of official patron-
age and the wretched "spoils of office" system,
and the placing of the civil service upon a
basis of merit alone, under supervision of a
competent pan-partisan commission; the inhi-
bition of all class legislation, and of the im-
provident granting away (or leasing) of
people's franchises, the public domain, the
state mineral lands or other resources of the
people; the suppression of lotteries, of gam-
bling in options, futures, produce and stocks,
and of all combinations for the control of pro-
duction, transportation or the people's
markets.
Money should be in gold and silver, and of
treasury notes redeemable in gold or silver, at
the option of the government; and all money
should be equally a legal tender for all pur-
poses. It should be issued by the general
government only, and the volume of the cur-
rency should be increased to an amount suffi-
cient to meet all the demands of the nation's
business and to relieve all embarrassing
monetary stringency.
The accumulation of vast fortunes, the
centralization of wealth into a few hands, the
enormous increase of corporate wealth and
power and the acquisition of vast possessions
in lands should be discouraged as against
public policy; and alien ownership thereof,
land monopolies and the holding of land-* by
railroad corporations free from taxation
should be prohibited. The public lands
shouM be appropriated in limited quantities
to actual settlers only, and the distribution
of real estate in small holdings in fee among
the people should be aided and encouraged
by the government, as a promotive of good
citizenship and the general public welfare.
Every one enjoying the protection of gov-
ernment should share in the burdens of tax-
ation for its support in proportion to his abil-
ity to bear them and to the magnitude of his
material interests protected; and to permit
the wealthy to evade this duty of fealty is to
encourage the malign spirit of disloyalty and
oppression.
We favor a graduated tax annually by the
government upon all incomes above a reason-
able exemption and upon the corporate prop-
erty of every corporation exceeding such
amount not already so taxed; and we favor
such amendment of the state laws as wiL
effectually subject all private property in
excess of a reasonable exemption, including
that of railroad companies, to a just propor-
tion of all taxes.
We are opposed to all covert indirect taxa-
tion permitting the ostensible payer thereol
to exact it again, with additional and often
oppressive tribute, from the consumers of the
necessaries of life; except only such duties
upon imports as are made expedient or neces-
sary by the conditions of discriminating tariffs
imposed by foreign governments, and of dif-
ferences of wages and cost of production ; and
the duties so imposed should be adjusted
from time to time by a permanent pan-par-
tisan commission .of expert business men
upon the basis of an equitable adjustment of
those differences only, and in the spirit of
true reciprocity with all nations, and not with
such countries as promise special advantages
to favored classes.
Railroads should be made in the fullest
sense public highways, and should be con-
trolled in their management and rates, foi
the equal interest of all people, on the basis
of a reasonable compensation to transporta-
tion companies in view of their actual neces-
sary investments (not including any watered
stock), and the state should in due time be-
come the owner of the railroads as highways.
We also favor the establishment and con-
trol by the federal government of a general
postal telegraph and telephone system, and of
postal savings banks, under the management
of the postoffice department, in the interest
of the people.
We demand the complete suppression of
polygamy, the social evil, and the indecent
publication of scandalous details of immor-
ality and crime; the entire equality of the
sexes before the law and in the field of indus-
try, the vijdlant protection of womanly virtue,
the increasing of the "age of consent" to 16
years; rigid and humane restriction and
regulation in the employment of child labor;
enforced, radical, hea'thful and just reform
in labor employments, wherever needed In the
promotion of justice, health and good morals;
the settlement of disputes between capital
and labor, or between employers and em-
ployes, by arbitration upon principles of
mutual justice and equity.
We believe in the maintenance and con
stant improvement of free public schools,
with free text-books, for universal and man-
datory education of the youth, including
scientific instruction in the nature and evil
effects of alcohol upon the human system; the
complete separation of the public schools and
all educational funds from the use or the con-
trol of every religious secc or association; the
protection alike of all sects by equal laws,
with entire freedom of faith and worship, and
the preservation and the guaranty to all per-
sons of a weekly sabbath day or rest, in ac-

cordance with their own conscientious views
as to the day to be observed.
As a check upon the corrupting power of
the monied lobby and the alarming venality
of municipal and legislative bodies, we favor
a judicious referendum system in state and
municipal legislation touching police regula-
tions and the political, economical and indus-
trial interests of the people.
We denounce the barbarous practice of
banging, shooting and burning supposed
criminals without trial by jury, especially as
now practiced on the colored citizens of this
country.
Minnesota People's Party.
Convention at St. Paul July 14.
The convention Indorsed the platform
idopted by the Omaha convention, which will
be found among the national platforms.
Nebraska Republicans.
Adopted at Lincoln Aug. 4.
The republicans of Nebraska, in convention
assembled, affirm their faith in the principles
enunciated in the platform adopted by the
national republican convention at Minneap-
jlis, and most heartily indorse the wise, clean,
ind truly American administration of Presi-
lent Harrison. The party is the friend of
abor in the factory, mill, mine and on the
farm; it will at all times stand ready to adopt
y measure that may improve its condition
r promote its prosperity.
We deplore the appearance of any conflict
between labor and capital. We denounce the
agitation of demagogues, designed to foment
conflicts, and we most earnestly disapprove
the use of private armed forces in any troubles
to settle them. We believe that an appeal to
Law and its officers is ample to protect prop-
erty and preserve the peace, and favor the es-
tablishment in some form of boards of tribu-
nals of conciliation and arbitration for the
peaceful settlement of all disputes between
capital and labor and such questions as pertain
to the safety and physical and moral well-being
of the workingmen. We believe in protect-
ing the laboring men by all necessary and judi-
cious legislation, and to this end we favor the
enactment of suitable laws to protect health,
life and limb of all employes of transporta-
tion, mining and manufacturing companies
while engaged in the service of such com-
panies. * * *
The farmers of this state, who constitute
the chief element of our productive, wealth-
creating population, are entitled to the
cheapest and best facilities for storing,
shipping and marketing the products, and to
this end we favor such laws as will give them
cheap, safe and easily obtainable elevator
and warehouse facilities, and will furnish
them promptly and without discrimination,
at a just and equitable rate, proper transpor-
tation facilities for accessible markets. We
demand the enactment of laws regulating the
rates charged by express companies within
the state, to the end that such rates may be
reasonable. * * *
We favor the adoption of the amendment
to the constitution providing for an elective
railroad commission, empowered to fix local
passenger and freight rates. *
We are in favor of the postal telegraph
and postal savings banks systems and free
delivery. * * *
Trusts and combinations to control and
unduly enhance the price of commodities are
a great evil, and we favor all proper legisla-
tion to eradicate and repress them. * * "
The revenue laws of this state should be
carefully revised by a commission of compe-
tent persons, representing the prominent in-
dustries of the state, to the end that all prop-
erty rightfully subject to taxation may be
made to pay its just proportion of the public
revenues. * * *
The debt of this nation to the men who pre-
served it can never be paid in dollars and
cents. The republican party of Nebraska
cordially and earnestly favors a system of
pensions so liberal as to properly provide for
the living and tenderly protect from want
the widows and orphans of the dead.
Resolved, That we indorse the movement
inaugurated by the American College League,
and pledge our hearty support toward
advancing the college movement in Nebraska.
Nebraska Democrats.
Adopted at Lincoln Aug. 31.
The democracy of Nebraska, in convention
assembled, hereby renew their devotion and
fealty to the principles and policies of popular
government as exemplified by the record of
the democratic party si nee the d ay s of Thomas
Jefferson. We cordially indorse the demo-
cratic platform adopted at the Chicago con-
vention, emphasizing its utterances upon the
question of protection and the passage of a
force bill.
We congratulate the people of the country
on the nomination of Grover Cleveland and
Adlai B. Stevenson.
Railroads and all other corporations of what-
soever kind must be held subservient to the
law-making power of this state, and within
constitutional limitations, railroads and all
other corporations in Nebraska are and must
continue amenable to legislative restrictions
and regulations. To better effect a reconcili-
ation between popular and corporate interests
in Nebraska, and for the purpose of establish-
ing justice and maintaining an identity of in-
terests between the common carriers and the
people of this state, and between servants and
masters, we recommend the adoption of the
constitutional amendment now pending creat-
ii% a board of railway commissioners elected
by the people of the state. We favor reason-
able and just laws regulating railroad charges.
We believe that senators of the United
States should be chosen by direct vote of the
people and we favor the election of presi-
dential electors by congressional districts.
We denounce the republican party for its
system of contract convict labor, whereby it
has given to a single individual the monopoly
of all the cheap convict labor of this state
and brought it into direct competition with
the honest toilers of the state. And not con-
tent with fastening it upon the people for ten
years, this party has leased it for another
ten years before the expiration of the first
term.
We condemn the giving of bounties and
subsidies of every kind as a perversion of the
taxing power.
The state of Nebraska has and exercises
the right of regulating the sale of intoxica-
ting drinks in the interests of good order
throughout the entire commonwealth, but the
prohibition of the manufacture and sale of
such drinks within the state is contrary to
the fundamental principles of social and
moral conduct.
We are in thorough sympathy with the toil-
ing interests of the country and we observe
with deep solicitude the conflict between
capital and labor and charge these conditions
to the vicious legislation enacted by the
republican party for the purpose of disbursing
taxes among the favored few and the mainte-
nance of the privileged classes.
We denounce the employment of Pinkerton
hirelings as arbiters of contests between
capital and labor and are in favor of a law
152
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
making compulsory the settlement by arbitra-
tion of all disputes between corporations and
their employes.
The democracy of Nebraska demands an
open and fair discussion before the public of
all political questions and denounces as un-
democratic and un-American any attempt to
deprive our citizens of their political rights or
privileges, as such, because of their race or
religious belief.
We congratulate the people of the state up-
on having secured tne Australian ballot, by
means of which every citizen is insured the
right to cast his vote according to his own
judgment, free from intimidation and corrup-

Nebraska People's Party.
Adopted at Kearney Aug. 3.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the plat-
form adopted at Omaha. Neb.. July 4, 1892, and
pledge to it our unanimous support.
Resolved, That we fully indorse the course
of Hon. O. M. Kem in congress.
We further offer this additional preamble
and resolution;
WHERAS, An armed force, equipped for
battle and provisioned for a siege, did on the
6th of July last invade the town of Home-
stead and massacre several of its inhabitants,
having been hired for this purpose by a cor-
poration without color of law or authority,
and
WHERAS, They have not been arrested, but
are still at large, and their hired mercenaries
were allowed to disperse under the protection
of law which they had criminally violated;
and
WHERAS, The sufferers from this wicked
conspiracy are now being persecuted by its in-
famous authors and abettors, therefore
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt
sympathy and aid to the relatives, friends
and fellow-sufferers of the victims of this mur-
derous conspiracy.
2. That we demand the trial and just punish-
ment of its instigators.
3. That we denounce the policy of political
parties which has brought this foul blot on
our fair country, has fostered monopolies,
has concentrated wealth in the hands of the
few, has left but a pittance for the laborer,
and put him in the hands of merciless and
greedy employers, trained assassins and
military forces.
4. That we pledge our sacred honor to use
every lawful and honorable means to hurl
from power and office the men and the politi-
cal parties who enslave labor, crown capital,
and who use law and fraud and violence to
make our land the home of the serf and the
millionaire.
5. That we recommend that for the "mar-
tyrs of Homestead" memorial services be
held throughout the country by every organi-
zation of the people's party on a day ap-
pointed by the national campaign committee
and the several state committees, and that
the banners of that day be inscribed with the
names of the ''martyrs" as follows: Martin
Foy, David P. Davis, Peter Ferris, Jules
Markow^ky, John E. Morris. Henry Strieger,
Joseph Tupper. Thomas Wayne, Thomas
Weldon, and stars for the unknown.
Nebraska Prohibitionists.
Adopted at Hastings Aug. 18.
The prohibitionists of Nebraska, in conven-
tion assembled, acknowledge their responsi-
bility to God and to their fellow-men for an
honest and conscientious exercise of the
elective franchise.
Our government through the rule of corrupt
parties has formed a partnership with the
wicked for gain, and an alliance with the
strong against the weak.
Immense revenues are derived from popu-
lar vices, and the vicious class, augmented by
the sanction of government, is made the tool
of organized wealth to fasten the chains of
slavery upon the industrial masses.
To break this unholy alliance should be the
first object of every good citizen, and this
cannot be accomplished by any party that
fears to antagonize the saloon vote.
We therefore most cordially invite all good
citizens to unite with us in support of the
following propositions:
1. The traffic in intoxicating liquors as a
beverage is a public nuisance, and the govern-
ment has no right to authorize or sanction it.
It is a leech on the material prosperity of the
nation unequaled by any of the day. It is the
power in the hands of corrupt politicians by
which their unworthy ends in government are
attained. It is the cause of all causes in pro-
ducing discord, crime, misery, want and
degradation in the domestic and social world.
It is a deadly foe to all morality, purity and
virtue, and good government demands its im-
mediate siippression by law.
2. The right of suffrage is inherent in citi
zenship, regardless of sex.
3. The money of the country should be
issued by the general government only, and
in sufficient quantity to meet the demands of
business and give full opportunity for the em-
ployment of labor. To this end an increase
in the volume of money is demanded. No
individual or corporation should be allowed
to make any profit through its issue. It should
be made a legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private. Its volume should
be fixed at a definite sum per capita and made
to increase with our increase of population.
4. Railroads, telegraphs and other public
corporations should be controlled by the gov-
ernment in the interest of the people and no
higher charges allowed than necessary to give
fair interest on the capital actually invested.
5. The real estate of the nation should be
preserved for its citizens only. Non-resident
alien ownership should be absolutely prohib-
ited and all unearned and forfeited land
grants should be reclaimed by the govern-
ment.
6. All trusts should be prohibited and sup-
pressed and all corporations should be con-
trolled by the government so as to protect the
rights of individual citizens.
7. Tariff should be levied only as a defense
against foreign governments that discrimi-
nate against us or bar out our products from
their markets, revenue being incidental. The
residue of income necessary to an economical
administration of government should be
raised by levying the burden on what the
people possess instead of on what they
consume.
8. No alien should be allowed to vote until
he becomes a citizen of the United States.
PARTY PLATFORMS.
153
9. The election of United States senators
should be by direct vote of the people.
10- Every honorably discharged soldier,
sailor and marine merits and should receive
a just pension, based upon disabilities and
time of service.
11. All persons should be protected by law
in their right to one day of rest in seven.
12. Believing that a vote for the candidates
of a party is the only true test of party fealty,
we ask the suffrages of the electors upon the
principles here enunciated.
South Dakota Republicans.
Adopted at Madison July 22.
We, the republicans of South Dakota, in con-
vention assembled, reaffirm the principles
enunciated in the platform adopted by the
national republican convention held at Min-
neapolis in June last, and most heartily in-
dorse the administration of President Harri-
son; and we recognize with pleasure the serv-
ices rendered by our republican senator and
representatives in congress.
We cordially approve of and indorse the able
and efficient administration of our state gov-
ernment.
We favor the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, under such legislative regu-
lations as will secure the parity of values of
the two metals. And we recommend the steps
already taken by our government to insure
this important object by an international
monetary conference.
The republican party is the friend of the
working classes, opposed to all legislation hos-
tile to their interests, and ready at all times to
adopt any measure that may improve their
condition or improve their material prosper-
ity. We deplore the occurrence of any con-
flicts between labor and capital. We denounce
the agitation of demagogues designed to fo-
ment and intensify these conflicts, and we
most earnestly disapprove of the use of private
armed forces in any attempt to settle them.
We believe that an appeal to the law and its
officers is amply sufficient to protect property
and preserve the peace, and a reference to
legally created or amicably chosen boards of
arbitration the best method of adjusting all
disagreements out of which these conflicts
have arisen.
We hail the advent of better times in our
beloved country, when the operation of re-
publican tariff legislation is looking to the
establishment of new industries in our midst
and the removal hither of many manufactur-
ing institutions from the old world; when our
reciprocity treaties have whitened the seas
with the sails of our new and enlarging com-
merce; when the splendid diplomacy of our
state department has secured the acquaint-
ance of European nations with the American
hog, as it is now acquainting them with the
valuable uses of American corn; when the
Providence of God and the industry of man
unite in promising us an abundant harvest;
when our mines are increasing their output
of gold, silver, copper, tin and other valuable
metals, and peace and good-will prevail among
our people. And we denounce the declarations
from the platform of the people's party con-
vention recently held at Omaha, as follows:
"We meet in the midst of a nation brought
to the verge of moral, political and material
ruin; corruption dominates the ballot-box, the
legislature, congress, and touches even the
ermine of the bench; the people are demoral-
ized; most of the states have been compelled
to isolate the voters at the polling places to
prevent universal intimidation or bribery,"
etc.
These statements are more than false; they
are seditious, scandalous, and appeal to the
prejudices and passions of unthinking men,
and are a slander upon a free, intelligent, self-
governed people.
Experience has amply justified the wisdom
of the national government in adopting recip-
rocal trade relations with foreign powers.
This policy has very largely augmented the
exportations of our manufactured wares and
agricultural products, as shown by the un-
precedented record of the last year, during
which time our export trade reached the enor-
mous total of $2,000.000,000.
We urge upon the general government such
legislation as will secure to the several states
for agricultural purposes the arid lands
within their borders, and we urge upon our
senators and representatives in congress to
continue their best efforts to secure from the
general government liberal aid for the
establishment of a system of irrigation by
the means of artesian wells.
We demand such legislation by our general
and state government as will prevent dealings
in options of agricultural products, by specu-
lators, and the forming of combinations and
trusts.
We commend the present administration in
Its management of the affairs of the general
policy
cratic administration to annoy such settlers
by delay and vexatious litigation.
The surviving soldiers of the civil war are
justly entitled to the grateful care of the
national government which these heroes'
valor preserved from extinction, and we cheer-
fully pledge our support to all laws made in
recognition of their patriotic sacrifices.
Our revenue laws should be carefully re-
vised by a commission of competent persons
representing the principal industries of the
state, to the end that all property rightfully
subject to taxation may be made to pay its
just proportion of the public revenues.
Recognizing the great value and wise econ-
omy of well-constructed hiehwavs. we sug-
gest to the thoughtful consideration of our
people the adoption of such methods on
road improvement as will insure the building
of durable and substantial roadways, wher-
ever required, in all sections of the state.
We are in favor of the postal telegraph and
postal savings-bank system, also of rural free
delivery.
We are in favor of laws governing the rates
charged by the express companies within this
state, to the end that such rates may be re-
duced.
We favor the election of railroad commmis-
sloners by the people, and we demand the en-
actment of a law conferring upon said commis-
sioners power to establish local passenger and
freight rates. We favor the enactment 01 such
laws for the regulation of railroads within
this state as will insure absolute equality to
all classes of patrons and to all localities.
South Dakota Democrats.
Adopted at Chamberlain Sept. 1.
The democracy of South Dakota, in conven-
tion assembled, reaffirms its devotion to the
party as enunciated in the platform of the
national democracy at its convention in the
city of Chicago June 21, 1892.
We commend the action of that convention
in selecting as our standard-bearer in the
coming national contest that fearless and
matchless leader, Grover Cleveland, and in
the selection of Adlai E. Stevenson as the
candidate for the vice-presidency.
We denounce the action of the favored
beneficiaries of the class legislation of the
republican party in usurping governmental

functions by the employment of Pinkerton
assassins to take the places of the duly con-
stituted authorities of the state and nation,
and we favor such legislation as shall prevent
such lawlessness in the future.
We demand that the school funds of our
state be loaned to the people of the state upon
r.m.jle security, at a reasonable rate of
interest, and we denounce the action of our
republican legislature and state officers in
depriving the mass of the people of the use of
uch funds under proper safeguards and
regulations.
We are opposed to all sumptuary legislation
either by state or national government.
We are in favor of a resubmission to a vote
of the people of article 21 of the constitution
relating to prohibition. Until constitutional
prohibition is repealed, we advocate such a
modification of the present prohibitory law as
will best promote the welfare and good morals
of our people.
Believing that unnecessary taxation is un-
just taxation, we pledge the democracy if
intrusted with powertoa rigid and economical
administration of the trust reposed in them
by the people.
We invite the co-operation of all good citi-
zens in assisting the democracy In rescuing
the state and nation from misrule and in re-
storing the government to the control of the
people, to the end that it may be administered
n the interest of the many and not of the few.
South Dakota People's Party.
Adopted at RedfieM June 22.
We declare our allegiance to the St. Louis
platform and adopt the demands therein con-
tained as tlu platform of our party. We stand
by the record of the independent party of the
south upon all minor questions. We favor a
constitutional amendment incorporating the
referendum and initiative in our state consti-
tution. The committee respectfully submitted
the following resolution:
We oppose the further sale of our school
ands. We favor the assessment of mort-
gages to the holders thereof and the exemp-
tion of a like amount from the assessment of
the mortgagors; that we favor the enactment
of legislation for the protection of mine, rail-
way and manufacturing employes and their
indemnification for injuries received not re-
sulting from their own carelessness. We
favor the reduction of the maximum rate of
nterest to 8 per cent. We demand of con-
gress the total extinction of the plutocracy's
private armed murderers and thugs, known as
the "Pinkertons," by whom private citizens
and innocent women and children have been
murdered at various places in the nation. We
nlso demand that the existence of such pri-
vate armies be made treason and felony. We
h jartily indorse the action of the Hon. J. H.
Kyle, our representative in the United States
senate, and promise him our earnest support
in all his efforts for the emancipation of labor
from the power of money to oppress. We are
unspeakably proud of the fact that 170 dele-
gates to this convention are representative of
that noble host that riskod life and limb in
defense of their country, and we rejoice that
sectionalism is to become a thing of the past
among the industrial forces of our common
country.
We arraign both old parties for their dis-
crimination against old soldiers and in favor
of landholders.
Wisconsin Republicans.
Adopted at Milwaukee Aug. 17.
The republican party of Wisconsin, in con-
vention assembled, affirms: Its approval and
support of the pUitform promulgated by the
national republican convention at Minne-
apolis; its unqualified approval of the splen-
did administration of President Harrison; its
unqualified opposition to the proposition
announced in the democratic national plat-
form to repeal the tax levied by the federal
law on the circulation of state banks, a policy
which, if effected, would again flood the
country with wildcat money and again sub-
ject people to the annoyance and losses con-
sequent upon a fluctuating, uncertain and
depreciated currency; it denounces as with-
out foundation and intended only to mislead
the voters of Wisconsin the statement so
often made by the democratic press that
republican success in this state involves a
surrender or compromise of whatever rights
the courts may hold to exist in favor of the
state upon the bonds of ex-state treasurers,
and pledges itself if it shall be intrusted with
executive and legislative power in the state to
enforce fully the rights of the people in the
premises. It favors such amendment of the
jaw authorizing and regulating the deposit at
interest in the banks in the state of surplus
moneys belonging to the people as shall, with-
out impairing in any wise the security to be
given by such banks on such deposits, invite
competition among them, to the end that the
highest rate of interest attainable may be
secured for the people upon the people's
money; that the localities on which such
to the favoritism of state officers, and that the
people may more fully know of the disposi-
tion of such surplus moneys. It reaffirms and
unqualifiedly indorses the declaration of the
republican convention held in this city in May
last upon the educational question, so called,
as correctly and fully defining the position of
the republican party of this state. It
denounces the outrageous partisanship of the
democratic majority at the late extra session
of the legislature in forcing the enactment
without legislative consideration, delibera-
tion or fair opportunity for debate or amend-
ment of the present so-called apportionment
law, in defiance of , the plain provisions of the
constitution as expounded by the Supreme
court and in disregard of the rights of the
people. It denounces the parsimony of the
democratic party of this state in its refusal to
make adequate appropriation of money for a
fit representation by the state at the World's
Columbian Exposition, and calls attention
with shame to the action of the democratic
majority in congress in refusing to grant
liberal appropriation to aid in carrying on to
a successful end that great national exhibi-
tion of the wealth, progress and civilization of
the world, and more especially of the United
States. It declares now as heretofore its devo-
tion to all the industries of the state.and its pur-
pose in the future as in the past to foster and
protect by all proper and necessary legislation,
and denounces all attacks upon them made or
attempted by the democratic administration
of this state.
It believes that laws should be enacted and
enforced guaranteeing to every citizen equal
civil and political rights without discrimina-
tion as to creed. We denounce and condemn
the cruel and barbarous treatment of Ameri-
can citizens of the southern states as tending
to corrupt good government and contrary to
the spirit of the constitution of the United
States.
Wisconsin Democrats.
Adopted at Milwaukee Aug. 31.
Two years ago the democratic convention
charged the republican party with extrava-
gance, corruption and unjustifiable interfer-
ence with individual and constitutional rights,
and denounced that party for permitting state

treasurers to appropriate the interest earned
by state funds, declaring that the interest on
these funds is the money of the people.
We pledge the democratic party to honesty
and economy in administration.
To a repeal of the republican assault upon
individual rights.
To the payment into the treasury of the in-
terest earned by state moneys; and
To the prosecution of suits to recover to the
people the interest money already misappro-
priated.
We present to the people of Wisconsin the
record of the performance of party pledges.
Economy ana business methods have char-
acterized every branch of the state govern-
ment, and the profit results to the tax-payers.
Already more than $00,000 has been saved in
administrative and legislative expenses.
The cost of maintaining the several state
istitutions has also been economized more
than I52.0JO, and their efficiency has been
greatly improved.
As a result the democratic treasurer will
have on hand at the close of his term a gen-
ral fund of more than $300,000, instead of the
deficiency which existed two years before.
Interest to the amount of more than $42,000
on bank deposits has accrued and been
promptly covered into the treasury.
The trust funds have been promptly invested
for the benefit of the schools, instead of being
h3ld in banks to enrich office-holders and
party politicians, and as a result the interest
earnings of these funds already exceed those
of the last administration by more than $64,OK).
Suits have been vigorously prosecuted to
establish the right of the people to the inter-
est earned by their money in the treasury,
and that right has been adjudged and liability
fastened upon the last two state treasurers to
the amount of more than $350,OUO for in-
terest money misappropriated by them; and,
upon th.e same basis of computation, an ag-
gregate liability will result in the actions now
pending of more than 725,000.
The Bennett law has been repealed and the
democrats of Wisconsin have shown their loy-
alty to the cause of popular education in
practical form by adding over $100,000 to the
school-fund inco'me, and by increasing the
appropriations to the state university over
565.000 a year for the next six years.
We are opposed to and will combat the ab-
horrent doctrine of centralization and pater-
nalism and all mischievous meddling with
rights of conscience and religion, especially in
the care and education of children.
We oppose sumptuary laws as unnecessary
and unwise interference with individual lib-
erty.
We pledge the democratic party anew to
continued honesty and economy in the ad-
ministration of the government.
The record of the present administration is
a sufficient assurance that no relinquishment
of the rights of the people against the de-
faulting treasurers need be feared at the
hands of the democratic party.
We indorse the action of the national dem-
ocratic convention in nominating Cleveland
and Stevenson for president and vice-presi-
dent, and give cheerful allegiance to the prin-
ciples enunciated by the Chicago platform.
Wisconsin People's Party.
Adopted at Milwauke: May 24, 1892.
The people's party of Wisconsin calls atten-
tion to the fact that both old parties, having
fully accomplished all the objects for which
they organized, have outlived their usefulness
and have sunk to the level of office-hunt nig
syndicates. This is conclusively proved by
their platforms and tactics, which, with the
exception of a difference of 5 per cent on the
tariff, consist mainlv in personal vilification
and mutual abuse. The people's party submits
that there are questions of tar greater impor-
tance than the tariff, which amounts to.*3.30 per
capita per annum, and that this question has
very little bearing on economic conditions. It
is a matter of notorious fact that under the
existing system wealth accumulates in the
hands of non-producers in free-trade countries
and that labor endures unnecessary hardships
in protected countries. The worst oppressive
and unjust legislation has centralized the
means of production, exchange and transpor-
tation in the hands of favored classes, who by
special and unnatural privileges are enabled
to deprive or restrict the many of equal rights
and opportunities. This system makes life to
all men one continued struggle for existence;
each man is arrayed against his brother and
no one is sure that his life will not end in the
poorhouse.
The people's party was formed to abolish
this unnatural and barbarous struggle and
sacure to all men and women equal rights and
equal opportunities. The platform adopted
by the great industrial conference at St. Louis,
Feb. 22-24, 1892, as below, is hereby adopted as
part of the state platform of Wisconsin:
We demand a national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the general govern-
ment only, a full legal tender for all debts,
public and private, and that without the use
of banking corporations, a just, equitable
and efficient means of circulation, direct to
the people, at a tax not to exceed 2 per cent,
as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of the
farmers' alliance, or some better system;
also by payments in discharge of its obliga-
tions or for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
We demand that the amount of the circula-
tion be speedily increased to not less than $50
per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the gov-
ernment, economically and honestly adminis-
tered.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe de-
posit of the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
The land, including all the natural resources
of wealth, is the heritage of the people and
should not be monopolized for speculative
purposes, and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All land now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess of their act-
ual needs and all lands now owned by aliens
should be reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
Transportation being the means of exchange
and a public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post-
office system, being a necessity for the trans-
mission of news, snould be owned and oper-
ated by the government in the interest of the
people.
In addition we make the following demands:
1. All public improvements, necessities and
conveniences shall be owned and controlled
by the public and not be exploited for private
2. We demand the establishment of the
initiative and the referendum, by which the
people will be enabled to vote down obnox-
ious laws and remove dishonest and inefficient

officials, thus placing the veto power in the
hands of the people, where it belongs.
3. The extraordinary increase in the jnven-
tion of labor-saving machinery requires a
material reduction in the hours of labor in
industrial pursuits. In the growth of monop-
oly the agricultural and industrial classes
have received no benefit from labor-saving
machinery. It has cheapened production
only to benefit the monopolists.
4. A revision of the patent laws giving in-
ventors a premium for their inventions, and
then giving its free use to all the people, will
prevent the system of monopoly now existing
and stop the robbery of both inventors and
'he people.
5. Arbitration should be generally intro-
duced to take the place of strikes and other
injurious means of settling labor disputes;
child labor should be prohibited in factories,
mines and workshops; no more contractors
be permitted to prevent the reformation of
convicts or undersell honest manufacturers,
by the contracting for the labor of prisoners;
convicts should be employed in building
roads, or other work that will not enter the
market and depress the price of better goods;
proper measures be provided for the safety
of people working in mines, manufactories
and buildings, and the contract system be
abolished on public work.
Wisconsin Prohibition.
Adopted at Madison June 1.
Realizing that the great danger in American
politics to-day is the corrupt influence of the
saloon system and the overreaching of the
masses by the few in their desire for wealth,
and that this is made feasible largely through
a prostitution of the functions of govern-
ment, the prohibition party of Wisconsin,
assembled in state convention this 1st day of
June, 1892, acknowledging our reliance upon
divine Providence and the sovereignty of
American citizenship, do demand:
1. That the traffic in intoxicating liquors as
a beverage be forever prohibited and sup-
pressed, and that all laws making either the
federal, state or municipal government part-
ner in its profits be repealed.
2. That all money necessary for the steadily
growing trade of the nation be issued directly
by the federal government, in such form and
upon such basis as shall give an ample cir-
culating medium that shall be legal tender for
all debts.
3. That the great lines of transportation and
communication, including the telegraph and
telephone, be controlled by the government;
and we favor also an extension of the free
mail delivery system.
4. That residence within the nation for such
time and education to such extent as will
insure intelligent citizenship and the ability
to exercise suffrage for the good of the voter
and of the state precede the right of fran-
chise, and that no other restriction should be
placed upon the ballot.
5. That our present laws relating to high-
ways be amended, to the end that the people
may by a new system of supervision be given
thoroughly constructed and permanent public
roads.
6. That our tariff laws be so changed that no
special privileges be granted to one class of
citizens at the expense of any other, and that
the poor be relieved from any unjust taxes
that they are now compelled to pay.
7. We favor a liberal public education in
the English language enforced and supervised
by the state.
8. Believing that the time has come when
good men ought to unite and make a great
national party that shall be dominated by the
intelligence, morality and patriotism of the
nation, we invite and urge all voters of the
state to join with us in the present campaign
LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
Replies of the presidential candidates in accepting their nominations.
PRESIDENT HARRISON'S LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3. The Hon. W.
McKinley, Jr.. and Others Gentlemen : I
now avail myself of the first period of relief
from public duties to respond to the notifica-
tion which you brought to me on June 20, of
my nomination for the office of president of
the United States by the republican national
convention recently held at Minneapolis. I
accept the nomination, and am grateful for
the approval expressed by the convention of
the acts of the administration. I have
endeavored without wavering or weariness,
so far as the direction of public affairs was
committed to me. to carry out the pledges
made to the people in 1888. If the policies of
the administration have not been distinct-
ively and progressively American and republi-
can policies, the fault has not been in the
purpose but in the execution. I shall speak
frankly of the legislation of congress and of
the work of the executive departments, for
the credit of any successes that have been
attained is in such measure due to others-
senators and representatives, and to the effi-
cient heads of the several executive depart-
mentsthat I may do so without impropriety.
A vote of want of confidence is asked by our
adversaries; and this challenge to a review of
what has been done we promptly and gladly
accept. The great work of the List congress
has been subjected to the revision of a demo-
cratic house of representatives and the acts
of f he executive department to its scrutiny
and investigation. A democratic national
administration was succeeded by a republi-
can administration and the freshness of the
events gives unusual facilities for fair com-
parison and judgment. There has seldom
been a time, 1 think, when a change from the
declared policies of the republican to the
declared policies of the democratic party
involved such serious results to the business
interests of the country. A brief review of
what has been done and of what the demo-
cratic party proposes to undo will justify this
opinion.
DEVISED THE PRESENT CURRENCV.
The republican party during the civil war
devised a national currency consisting of
United States notes issued and redeemable by
the government, and of national bank notes
based upon the security of United States
bonds. A tax was levied upon the issues of
state banks, and the intended result, that all
such issues should be withdrawn, was real-
ized. There are men among us now who
never saw a state bank note. The notes fur-
nished directly or indirectly by the United
States have been the only and the safe and
acceptable paper currency of the people.
Bank failures have brought no fright, delay
or loss to the bill holders. The note of an in-
solvent bank is as good and as current as a
treasury note for the credit of the United
States is behind it. Our money is all national
money I might almost say international, for
these bills are not only equally and indis-

criminately accepted at par in all the states,
but in some foreign countries. The demo-
cratic party, if intrusted with the control of
the government, is now pledged to repeal the
tax on state bank issues, with a view to
putting into circulation again, under such
diverse legislation as the states may adopt,
a flood of local bank issues. Only those who
in the years before the war experienced the
inconvenience and losses attendant upon the
use of such money can appreciate- what a re-
turn to that system involves. The denomina-
tion of a bill was then often no indication of
its value. The bank detector of yesterday
was not a safe guide to-day as to credit or
values. Merchants deposited several times
during the day lest the hour of bank closing
should show a depreciation of the money
taken in the morning. The traveler could
not use in a journey to the east the issues of
the most solvent banks of the west, and in
consequence a money-changer's office was the
Familiar neighbor of the ticket office and the
lunch counter. The farmer and the laborer
found the money received for their products
or their labor depreciated when they came to
make their purchases, and the whole business
of the country was hindered and burdened.
Changes may become necessary, but a
national system of currency, safe and ac-
ceptable throughout the whole country, is the
fruit of bitter experiences, and 1 am sure our
people will not consent to the reactionary pro-
posal made by the democratic party.
IMPORTANCE OF REGAINING MARITIME
POWER.
Few subjects have elicited more discussion
or excited more general interest than that of
a recovery by the United States of its appro-
priate share of the ocean-carrying trade. This
subject touches not only our pockets but our
national pride. Practically all the freights for
transporting to Europe the enormous annual
supplies of provisions furnished by this coun-
try and for the large return of manufactured
jroducts have for many years been paid to
'oreign ship-owners. Thousands of Immi-
grants annually seeking homes under our
Bag have been denied a sight of it until they
entered Sandy Hook, while increasing thou-
ands of American citizens, bent on European
ravel, have each year stepped into a foreign
urlsdiction at the New York docks. The mer-
2handise balance of trade which the treasury
books show is largely reduced by the annual
tribute which we pay for freight and passage
money. The great ships, the fastest upon the
sea, which are now in peace profiting by our
rade, are in a secondary sense warships of
heir respective governments and in time
if war would, under existing contracts with
;hose governments, speedily take on the guns
"or which their decks are already prepared
ind enter with terriole efficiency upon the
work of destroying our commerce. The undis-
puted fact is that the great steamship lines of
urope were built up and are now in part sus-
ained by direct or indirect government aid,
he latter taking the form of liberal pay for
carrying the mails or of an annual bonus
?iven in consideration of agreements to con-
itruct ships so as to adapt them for carrying
in armament and to turn them over to the
jovernmenton demand, upon specified terms,
't was plain to every intelligent American that
f the United States would nave such lines a
limilar policy must be entered upon. The List
songress enacted such a law and under its ben-
eficent influence sixteen American steamships
of an aggregate tonnage of 57,400 tons and cost-
ng $7,400.000 have been built or contracted to
36 built in American shipyards. In addition
to this it is now practically certain that we
shall soon have, under the American flag, one
of the finest steamship lines sailing out of
New York for any European port. This con-
tract will result in the construction in Ameri-
can yards of four new passenger steamships
of :iO,OUO tons each, costing about $8,000.000,
and will add to our naval reserve six steam-
ships, the fastest upon the seas.
A special interest has been taken by me in
the establishment of lines from our South
Atlantic and Gulf ports ; and, though my expec-
tations have not yet been realized, attention
has been called to the advantages possessed
by these ports, and when their people are
more fully alive to their interests 1 do not
doubt that they will be able to secure the capi-
tal needed to enable them to profit by their
great natural advantages. The democratic
party has found no place in its platform for
any reference to this subject and has shown
its hostility to the general policy by refusing
to expend an appropriation made during the
last administration for ocean mail contracts
with American lines. The patriotic people,
the workmen in our shops, the capitalists
seeking new enterprises must decide whether
the great ships owned by Americans which
have sought American registry shall again
humbly ask a place in the English naval re-
serve; the great ships now on the designers'
tables go to foreign shops for construction
and the United States loses the now brighten-
ing opportunity of recovering a place com-
mensurate with its wealth, the skill of its con-
structors, and the courage of its sailors in
the carrying trade of all the seas.
THE BENEFITS OF RECIPROCITY.
Another related measure as furnishing In-
creased ocean traffic for our ships and of great
and permanent benefit to the farmers and
manufacturer as well ia the reciprocity policy
declared by section 3, of the tariff act of 1890
and now in practical operation with five of
the nations of Central and South America, San
Domingo, the Spanish and British West India
islands and with Germany and Austria, under
special trade arrangements with each. The
removal of the duty on sugar and the continu-
ance of coffee and tea upon the free list, while
vantage to the countries exporting these arti-
cles as to suggest that in consideration thereof
reciprocal favors should be shown in their tar-
iffs to articles exported by us to their mar-
kets. Great credit is due to Mr. Elaine for the
vigor with which he pressed this view upon
the country. We have only begun to realize
the benefit of these trade arrangements. The
work of creating new agencies and of adapt-
ing our goods to new markets has necessarily
taken time, but the results already attained
are such, I am sure, as to establish in popular
favor the policy of reciprocal trade based upon
the free Importation of such articles as do not
injuriously compete with the products of our
own farms, mines or factories, in exchange
for the free or favored introduction of our
products into other countries. The obvious
efficacy of this policy in increasing the foreign
trade of the United States at once attracted
the alarmed attention of European trade Jour-
nals and boards of trade. Tne British Board
of Trade has presented to that government a
memorial asking for the appointment of a
commission to consider the best means of
counteracting what is called "the commercial
crusade of the United States."
At a meeting held in March last of the As-
sociated Chambers of Commerce of Great
Britain the president reported that the exports
from Great Britain to the Latin American
countries during the last year had decreased
$23,750.000, and that this was not due to tern-
158

porary causes, but directly to the reciprocity
policy of the United States. Germany and
France have also shown their startled appre-
ciation of the fact that a new and vigorous
contestant has appeared in the battle of the
markets and has already secured important
advantages. The most convincing evidence
of the tremendous commercial strength of our
position is found in the fact that Great Brit-
ain and Spain have found it necessary to make
reciprocal trade agreements with us for their
West India colonies and thatGermany andAus-
tria have given us importantconcessions in ex-
change for the continued free importation of
their beet sugar product. A -few details only
as to the increase in our trade can be given
here. Taking all the countries with which
arrangements have been made, our trade to
June 30, 18 2, had increased 23.78 per cent.
With Brazil the increase was nearly 11 per
cent; with Cuba, during the first ten months,
our exports increased $5.702.193, or 54.8 percent
and with Porto Rico, $590,599, or 34 per cent.
The liberal participation of our farmers in
the benefits of this policy is shown by the fol-
lowing report from our consul-general at Ha-
vana under date of July 26th last:
"During the first half of 1891 Havana re-
ceived 140.05t> bags of flour from Spain, and
other ports of the island about an equal
amount, or approximately 280,112 bags. Dur-
ing the same period Havana received 13,97(5
bags of American flour, and other ports ap-
proximately an equal amount, making about
28,000 bags. But for the first half of this year
Spain has sent less than 1,000 bags to the whole
island and the United States has sent to
Havana alone 168.487 bags and about an equal
amount to other ports of the island, making
approximately 337.000 for the first half of 1892."
Partly by reason of the reciprocal trade
agreement, but more largely by reason of the
removal of sanitary restrictions upon Ameri-
can pork, our exports of pork products to
Germany increased during the ten months
ending June 30 last $2,025,074, or about 32 per-
cent. The Briti h Trade Journal of London, in
a recent issue, speaking of the increase of
American coal exports and of the falling off
of the English coal exports to Cuba, says:
" It is another case of American competition.
The UnitedStatesnowsuppliesCuba with about
150,000 tons of coal annually, and there is every
prospect of this trade increasing as the forests
of the island become exhausted and the use
of steam machinery on the estates is devel-
oped. Alabama coal especially is securing a
reputation in the Spanish West Indies, and
the river and rail improvements of the South-
ern States will undoubtedly create an import-
ant gulf trade. The new reciprocity policy by
which the United States is enabled to import
Cuban sugar will, of course, assist the Ameri-
can coal exporters even more effectively than
the new lines of railway.
THE ENEMY PLEDGED TO KILL THIS.
The democratic platform promises a repeal
of the tariff law containing this provision and
especially denounces as a sham reciprocity
that section of the law under which these
trade arrangements have heen made. If no
other issue were involved in the campaign this
alone would give it momentous importance.
Are the farmers of the great grain growing
states willing to surrender these new, large
and increasing markets for their surplus?
Are we to have nothing in exchange for the
free importation of sugar and coffee and at
the same time to destroy the sugar planters
of the south, and the best sugar industry of
the northwest, and of the Pacific coast; or are
we to have the taxed sugar and coffee, which
a " tariff for revenue only " necessarily in-
volves, with the added loss of the new
markets which have been opened ? As I have
shown, our commercial rivals in Europe do
riot 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 illumi-
nate their depressed manufacturing cities-
over the news that the United States had
abandonded its system of protection and
reciprocity. They see very clearly that re-
striction of American products and trade and
a corresponding increase of European pro-
duction and trade would follow, and I will not
believe that what is so plain to them can be
hidden from our own people.
The declaration of the platform in favor of
"the American doctrine of protection" meets
my most hearty approval. The convention
did not adopt a schedule but a principle that
is to control all the tariff schedules. There
may be differences of opinion among pro-
tectionists as to the rate upon panicular arti-
cles necessary to effect an equalization be-
tween wages abroad and at home. In some
not remote national campaigns the issue has
been or, more correctly, has been made to
appear to be between a high and a low pro-
tective tariff both parties expressing some
solicitous regard for the wages of our work-
ing people and for the prosperity of our do-
mestic industries. But, under a more cour-
ageons leadership, the democratic party has
now practically declared that if given power
it will enact a tariff law without any regard to
its effect upon wages or upon the capital in-
vested in our great industries. The majority
report of the committee on platform to the
democratic national convention at Chicago
contained this clause:
'That when custom-house taxation is levied
upon articles of any kind produced in this
country the difference between the cost of
labor here and abroad, when such a differ-
ence exists, fully measures any possible bene-
fits to labor and the enormous additional im-
positions of the existing tariff fall with crush-
ing force upon our farmers and workingmen."
Here we nave a distinct admission of the
republican contention that American work-
men are advantaged by a tariff rate equal to
the difference between home and foreign
wages and a declaration only against the
alleged "additional impositions" of the exist-
ing tariff law.
DEMOCRATIC FREE-TRADE POLICY EXPOSED.
Again this majority report further declared:
"But in making reduction in taxes it is not
proposed to injure any domestic industries,
but rather to promote their healthy growth.
* * * Moreover, many industries have come
to rely upon legislation for successful contin-
uance, so that any change of law must be at
every step regardful of the labor and the cap-
ital thus involved."
Here we have an admission that many of
our industries depend upon protective duties
"for their successful continuance" and a dec-
laration that tariff changes should be regard-
ful of the workmen in such industries and of
the invested capital. The overwhelming re-
jection of these propositions, which had before
received the sanction of democratic national
conventions, was not more indicative of the
new and more courageous leadership to which
the party has now committed itself than the
substitute which was adopted. This substi-
tute declares that protective duties are un-
constitutionalhigh protection, low protec-
tion all unconstitutional. A democratic
congress holding this view cannot enact,
nor a democratic president approve, any
tariff schedule, the purpose or effect of
which is to limit importations or to give
any advantage to an American workman
LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
or producer. A bounty might, 1 judge, be given
to the importer under this view of the consti-
tution in order to increase important importa-
tions, and so the revenue for "revenue only"
is the limitation. Reciprocity, of course,
falls under this denunciation, lor its object
and effect are not revenue, but the promotion
of commercial exchanges, the profits of which
go wholly to our producers. This destructive.
un-American doctrine was not taught or held
by the historic deaiocratifl statesmen whose
fame as American patriots has reached this
generation certainly not by Jefferson nor
Jackson. This mad crusade against American
shops, the bitter epithets applied to American
manufacturers, the persistent disbelief of
every report of the opening 9f a tin-plate mill
or of an inc~ease of our foreign trade by reci-
procity, are as surprising as they are discredit-
able. There is not a thoughtful business man
in the country who do;>s not know that the
enactment into law of the declaration of the
Chicago convention on th3 subject of the
tariff would at once plung'3 the country into a
business convulsion such as it has never seen;
and there is not a thoughtful workingman who
does not know that it would at once enor-
mously reduce the amount of work to be done
in this country by the increase of importations
that would follow, and necessitate a reduction
of his wages to the European standard. If
anyone suggests that this radical policy will
not be executed if the democratic party at-
tains power what shall be thought of a party
that is capable of thus trifling witli great inter-
ests?
CALAMITY HOWLER VS. TRADE REPORTER.
The threat of such legislation would be only
less hurtful than the fact. A distinguished
democrat rightly described this movement as
a challenge to the protected industries to a
flght of extermination, and another such
rightly expressed the logic of the situation
when he interpreted the Chicago platform to
be an inv.tation to all democrats, holding
even the most moderate protection views, to
go into the republican party.
And now a few words in regard to the ex-
isting tariff law. We are fortunately able to
judge of its influence upon production and
prices by the market reports. The day of the
prophet of calamity has been succeeded by
that of the trade reporter. An examination
into the effect of the law upon the prices of
protected products and of the cost of such
articles as enter into the living of people of
small means has been made by a senate com-
mittee composed of leading senators of both
parties, with the aid of the best statisticians,
and the report, signed by all the members of
the committee, has been given to the public.
No such wide and careful inquiry has ever
been before made. These facts appear from
the report:
1. The cost of articles entering into the use
of those earning less than SB1.0UO per annum
has decreased, up to May, 1892, 3.4 per cent,
while in farm products there has been an
increase in prices, owing in part to an in-
creased foreign demand and the opening of
new markets. In England during the same
period the cost of living increased 1.9 per
cent. Tested by their power to purchase
articles of necessity, the earnings of our
working people have never been as great as
they are now.
2. There has been an average advance in
the rate of wages of .75 of 1 per cent.
3. There has been an advance in the price of
all farm products of 18.67 per cent, and of all
cereals 33.9:) per cent.
The ninth annual report of the chief of the
bureau of labor statistics of the state of New
York, a democratic officer, very recently
issued, strongly corroborates as to that state
the facts foun by the senate committee.
His extended inquiry shows that in the year
immediately following the passage of the
tariff act of 189J the aggregate urn paid in
wages in that state was J;.377,975 in excess and
the aggregate production J31.31o.130 in excess
of the preceding year.
NOT BURDENS BUT ADVANTAGES.
In view of this showing of an increase in
wages, of a reduction in the cost of articles of
common necessity and of a marked advance
in the prices of agricultural products it is
plain that this tariff law has not imposed bur-
dens, but has conferred benefits upon the
farmer and the workingman.
Some special effects of the act should be no-
ticed. It was & courageous attempt to rid our
people of a long-maintained foreign monop-
oly on the production of tin-plate, pnarl but-
tons, silk plush, linens, lace, etc. Once or
twice in our history the production of tin-
plate had been attempted and the prices ob-
tained by the Welsh makers would have en-
abled our mak rs to produce it at a profit.
But the Welsh makers at once cut prices to a
point that drove the American beginners out
of the business and when this was accom-
plished again made their own prices. A cor-
respondent of the Industrial World, the offi-
cial organ of the Welsh tin-plate workers,
published at Swansea, in the issue of June
10, 1892, advises a new trial of these methods.
He says:
"Do not be deceived. The victory of the re-
publicans at the polls means the retention of
the McKinley bill and means the rapidly ac-
cruing loss of the 80 per cent of the export
American trade. Had there been no demo-
cratic victory in 18i)0 the spread of the tin-
plate manufacture in the United States would
have been both rapid and bona flde. * * *
It Is not yet too late to do something to re-
duce the price of plates. Put them down to n
shillings per box of 100. 14x20, fu'l weight basis.
Let the workmen take half-pay for a few
months and turn out more, then let the mas-
ters forego profits for the same time."
And again that paper says: "It is clearly the
Interest of both (employer and workman) to
produce these plates, tariff or no tariff, at a
price that will drive all competit.on from the
field."
But, in spite of the doubts raised IT the elec-
tions of 1890, and of the machinations of foreign
producers to maintain theirmonopoly, the tin-
plate industry has been established in the
United States, and the alliance between thj
Welsh producers and the democratic party
for its destruction will not succeed. The offi-
cial returns to the treasury department of tho
production of tin and terne-plates in the
United States during the last fiscal year show
a total production of 13.240.830 pounds, and a
comparison of the first quarter, 8^5,922 pounds,
with the last, 8,000,000 pounds, shows the rapid
development of tha industry. Over 5,000.000
pounds during the last quarter were made
from American black plates, the remainder
from foreign plates. Mr. Ayer, the treasury
agent in charge, estimates as the result of
careful inquiry that tho production of the cur-
rent year will be 100.000.000 pounds, and that by
the end of the vear our production will be at
the rate of 200,000.000 pounds per annum.
WHAT THE M'KIXLEY BILL HAS DONE.
Another Industry that has been practically
created by the McKinley bill is the making of
pearl buttons. Few articles coming to us from
abroad were so distinctly the product of starv-
ation wages. But without unduly extending
this letter I cannot follow in detail the influ-
ences of the tariff law of 1890. It has trans-
160
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1803.
planted several important industries and
established them here, and has revived or en-
larged all others. The act gives to the miners
protection against foreign silver-bearing lead
ores, the free introduction of which threat-
ened the great mining industries of the Rocky
Mountain states, and to the wool-growers pro-
tection for their fleeces and flocks, which nas
saved them from a further and disastrous de-
cline. The House of Representatives at its
last session passed bills placing these ores and
wool upon the free list. The people of the
West well know how destructive to their pros-
perity these measures would be.
This tariff law has given employment to
many thousands of American men and women
and will each year give employment to in-
creasing thousands. Its repeal would throw
thousands out of employment and give work
to others only at reduced wages. The appeals
of the free-trader to the workingman are
largely addressed to his prejudices or to his pas-
sions and not infrequently are pronouncedly
communistic. The new democratic leader-
ship rages at the employer and seeks to com-
municate his rage to the employe. I greatly
regret that all employers of labor are not just
and considerate and that capital sometimes
takes too large a share of the profits. But I
do not see that these evils would be amelior-
ated by a tariff policy the first necessary effect
of which is a severe wage-cut and the second
a large diminution of the aggregate amount
of work to be done in this country.
If the injustice of his employer tempts the
workman to strike back he should be very
sure that his blow does not fall upon his own
head or upOn his wife and children. The
workmen in our great industries are, as a
body, remarkably intelligent and are lovers
of home and country. They may be roused
by injustice or what seems to them to be such
or be led for the moment by others into acts of
passion; but they will settle the tariff contest
in the calm light of their November firesides
and with sole reference to the prosperity of
the country of which they are citizens and of
the homes they have founded for their wives
and children.
No intelligent advocate of a protective tar-
iff claims that it is able of itself to maintain
a uniform rate of wages without regard to
fluctuations in the supply of and demand for
the products of labor, but it is confidently
claimed that protective duties strongly tend
to hold up wages and are the only barrier
against a reduction to the European scale.
IT HAS BENEFITED THE SOUTH.
The southern states have had a liberal par-
ticipation in the benefits of the tariff law and,
though their representatives have been gen-
erally opposed to the protection policy, I re-
joice that their sugar, rice, coal, ores, Iron,
fruits, cotton cloths and other products have
not been left to the fate which the votes of
their representatives would have brought
upon them. In the construction of the Nica-
ragua canal, in tue new trade with South and
Central America, in the establishment of
American steamship lines, these states have
also special interests and all these interests
will not always consent to be without repre-
sentation at Washington.
Shrewdly but not quite fairly our adversaries
speak only of the increased duties imposed
upon tin, pearl buttons and other articles by
the McKinley bill, and omit altogether any
reference to the great and beneficial enlarge-
ment of the free list. During the last fiscal
year $458,000,772 worth of merchandise or 55.35
per cent of our total importations came in
free (the largest percentage in our history),
while in 1889 the percentage of free importa-
tions was only 34.42 p*er cent The placing of
sugar upon the free list has saved to the con-
sumer in duties in fifteen months, after pay-
ing the bounties provided for. $87.000,UOO. This
relief has been substantially felt in every
household, upon every Saturday's purchase
of the workingman.
One of the favorite arguments against a pro-
tective tariff is that it shuts us out from a par-
ticipation in what is called, with swelling
emphasis, " the markets of the world." If this
view is not a false one how does it happen
that our commercial competitors are not able
to bear with more serenity our supposed sur-
render to them of the "markets of the world,"
and how does it happen that the partial loss
of our market closes foreign tin-plate mills
and plush factories that still have all other
markets? Our natural advantages, our pro-
tective tariff and the reciprocity policy make
it possible for us to have a large participation
in the "markets of the world" without open-
ing ur own to a competition that would
destroy the comfort and independence of our
people.
DECLARES FOB HONEST MONEY.
The resolution of the convention in favor of
bimetallism declares, I think, the true and
necessary conditions of a movement that has,
upon these lines, my cordi.il adherance and
support. I am thoroughly convinced that the
free coinage of silver at such a ratio to gold
as will maintain the equality in their commer-
cial uses of the two coined dollars would con-
duce to the prosperity of all the great produc-
ing and commercial nations of the world. The
one essential condition is that these dollars
shall have and retain an equal acceptability
and value in all commercial transactions.
They are not only a medium of exchange, but
a measure of values; and when unequal
measures are called in law by the same name
commerce is unsettled and confused and the
unwary and ignorant are cheated. Dollars of
unequal commercial value will not circulate
together. The better dollar is withdrawn and
becomes merchandise. The true interest of
our people, and especially of the farmers and
working people, who cannot closely observe
the money market, is that every dollar paper
or coin issued or authorized by the govern-
ment shall at all times and in all its uses be
this subject independently of other nations we
would greatly promote their interests and in-
jure our own.
The monetary conditions in Europe within
the last two years have, I think, tended very
much to develop a sentiment in favor of a
larger use of silver, and I was much pleased
and encouraged by the cordiality, promptness,
and unanimity with which the invitation of
this government for an international confer-
ence upon this subject was accepted by all the
powers. We may not only hope for but expect
highly beneficial results from this conference,
which will now soon assemble. When the re-
sult of the conference is known we shall then
be able intelligently to adjust our financial
legislation to any new conditions.
In my last annual message to congress I
said:
" I must yet entertain the hope that it Is
possible to secure a calm, patriotic consider-
ation of such constitutional or statutory
changes as may be necessary to secure the
choice of the officers of the government to
the people by fair apportionments and free
elections. I believe it would be possible to
constitute a commission, non-partisan in its
membership and composed of patriotic, wise,
and impartial men. to whom a consideration

161
our election systems and methods might be
committed with a good prospect of securing
unanimity in some plan for removing or
mitigating those evils. The constitution
would permit the selection of the commission
to be vested in the Supreme court, if that
method would give the best guarantee of im-
partiality. This commission should be
charged with the duty of inquiring into the
whole subject of the law of elections as re-
lated to the choice of officers of the national
government, with a view to securing to every
elector a free and unmolested exercise of the
suffrage and as near an approach to an
equality of value in each ballot cast as is
attainable. * * * Tbe demand that
the limitations of suffrage shall be found in
the law, and only there, is a just demand and
no just man should resent or resist it."
INSISTS ON A FREE BALLOT.
It seemed to me that an appeal to our
people to consider the question of readjust-
ing our legislation upon absolutely fair non-
partisan lines might find some effective re-
sponse. Many times I have had occasion
to say that laws and election methods de-
signed to give unfair advantages to the party
making them would some times be used to
perpetuate in power a faction of a party
against the will of the majority of the people.
Of this we seem to have an illustration in the
recent state election in Alabama. There was
no republican ticket in the field. The contest
was between white democrats. The Kolb
party say they were refused the represen-
tation guaranteed by law upon the election
boards; and that when the courts by man-
damus attempted to right this wrong, the ap-
peal could not be heard until after the election
made the writs ineffectual. Ballot boxes were
thrown out for alleged irregularities, or de-
stroyed, and it is asserted on behalf of one-
half, at least, of the white voters of Alabama,
that the officers to whom certificates have been
given were not honestly elected. There is no
security for the personal or political rights.
The puwer of the states over the question of
the qualification of electors is ample to pro-
tect them against the dangers of an ignorant
or depraved suffrage, and the demand that
every man found to be qualified under the
law shall be made secure in the right to cast
a free ballot and to have that ballot honestly
counted cannot be abated. Our old republican
battle cry, "A free ballot and a fair count,"
comes back to us, not only from Alabama
but from other states and from men who,
differing from us widely in opinions, have
come to see that parties and political debate
are but a mockery if, when the debate is end-
ed, judgment of honest majorities is to be
reversed by ballot-box frauds and tally-sheet
manipulations in the interest of the party or
party faction in power.
These new political movements in the states
and the recent decisions of some of the state
courts against unfair apportionment laws en-
courage the hope that the arbitrary and
partisan election laws and practices which
have prevailed may be corrected by the states,
the law made equal and non-partisan, and the
elections free and honest. The republican
party would rejoice at such a solution, as a
healthy and patriotic local sentiment is the
best assurance of free and honest elections.
I shall again urge upon congress that provis-
ion be made for the appointment of a non-
partisan commission to consider the subject
of apportionments and elections in their rela-
tion to the choice of federal officers.
THE CIVIL-SERVICE SYSTEM.
The civil-service system has been extended
and the law enforced with vigor and impar-
tiality. There has been no partisan juggling
with the law in any of the departments or
bureaus, as had before happened, but appoint-
ments to the classified service have been
made impartially from the eligible lists. The
system now in force in all the departments
has for the first time placed promotions
strictly upon the basis of merit, as ascertained
by a daily record, and the efficiency of the
force thereby greatly increased.
The approval so heartily given by the con-
vention to all those agencies which contribute
to the education of the children of the land
was worthily bestowed and meets my hearty
approval, as does also the declaration as to
liberty of thought and conscience, and the
separation of church and state. The safety of
the republic is in intelligent citizenship; and
the increased interest manifested in the states
in education, the cheerfulness with which
the necessary taxes are paid by all classes,
and the renewed interest manifested by the
children in the national flag are hopeful indi-
cations that this coming generation will direct
public affairs with increased prudence and
patriotism. Our interest n free public schools
open to all children of suitable age is supreme
and our care for them will be jealous and
constant.
The public-school system, however, was not
intended to restrain the natural right of the
parent, after contributing to the public-school
fund, to choose other educational agencies for
his children. I favored aid by the general gov-
ernment to the public schools, with a special
view to the necessities of some of the south-
ern states. But it is gratifying to notice that
many of these states are, with commendable
liberality, developing their school systems
and increasing their school revenues to the
great advantage of the children of both races.
The considerate attention of the farmers of
the whole country is invited to the work done
through the state and agricultural depart-
ments in the interest of agriculture. Our pork
products had for ten years been not only ex-
cluded by the great continental nations of
Europe, but their value discredited by the
reasons given for this exclusion. All pre-
vious efforts to secure the removal of these re-
strictions had failed, but the wise legislation
of the Fifty-First congress, providing for the
inspection and official certification of our
meats and giving to the president power to
forbid the introduction into this country of
selected products of such countries as should
continue to refuse our inspected meats, ena-
bled us to open all the markets of Europe to
our products.
The result has been not only to sustain
prices by providing new markets for our sur-
plus, but to add 50 cents per 100 pounds to the
market value of the inspected meats. Under
the reciprocity agreement special favors have
been secured for agricultural products, and
pur exports of such products have been greatly
increased, with a sure prospect of a further
and rapid increase. The agricultural depart
ment has maintained in Europe an agent
whose special duty it is to introduce there the
various preparations of corn as articles of
food, and his r :work has been very successful.
The department has also sent skilled veteri-
narians to Liverpool to examine in connec-
tion with the British veterinarians the live
cattle from the United States landed at tha
port, and the result, in connection with the
sanitary methods developed at home, has been
that we hear no more about our cattle bein^;
infected with pleuro-pneumonia. The judi
cious system of quarantine lines has prevented
the infection of northern cattle with the
Texas fever. The tariff bill of 1890 gives bet-
ter protection to the farm products subject to
foreign competition than they ever had before
162
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
and the home markets for such products have
been enlarged by the establishment of new
industries and the development of others. We
may confidently submit to the intelligent and
candid judgment of the American farmer
whether in any corresponding period as much
has been done to promote his interests, and
whether in a continuance and extension of
these methods there is not a better prospect
of good to him than in the invitation of the
democratic party to give our home market to
foreign manufacturers and to abandon the
reciprocity policy, and better also than the
radical and untried methods of relief proposed
by other parties which are soliciting his sup-
port.
SHIP CANAL A NECESSITY.
I have often expressed my strong convic-
tion of the value or the Nicaragua ship canal
to our commerce and to our navy. The proj-
ect is not one of convenience but of neces-
sity. It is quite possible, I believe, if the
United States will support the enterprise, to
secure the speedy completion of the canal
without taxing the treasury f9r any direct
contribution, and at the same time to secure
to the United States that influence in its man-
agement which is imperative.
It has been the purpose of the administra-
tion to make its foreign policy not a matter of
partisan politics but of patriotism and na-
tional honor, and I have very great gratifica-
tion in being able to state that the democratic
members of the committee of foreign affairs
responded in a true American spirit. I have
not hesitated to consult freely with them
about the most confidential and delicate af-
fairs, and I frankly confess my obligation for
needed co-operation. They did not regard a
patient but firm insistence upon American
rights and upon immunity from insult and in-
jury for our citizens and sailors in foreign
sorts as a policy of "irritation and bluster."
rhey did not believe, as some others seem to
believe, that to be a democrat one must take
he foreign side of every international ques-
ion if a republican administration is con-
ducting the American side. I do not believe
;hat a tame submission to insult and outrage
by any nation at the hands of any other can
sver form the basis of a lasting friendship
the necessary element of mutual respect will
be wanting.
MINISTER EGAN'S COURSE JUSTIFIED.
The Chilean incident, now so happily and
honorably adjusted, will, I do not doubt, place
our relations with that brave people upon a
more friendly basis than ever before. This
already appears in the agreement since nego-
tiated by Mr. Egan for the settlement by com-
mission of the long-unsettled claims between
he two governments. The work of Mr. Egan
las been highly advantageous to the United
states. The confidence which I refused to
withdraw from him has been abundantly
ustifled.
In our relations with the great European
jowers the rights of the United States and of
aur citizens have been insisted upon with
Irmness. The strength of our cause and not
he strength of our adversary has given tone
o our correspondence. The Samoan question
ind the Bering sea question, which came over
"rom the preceding administration, have been,
he one settled and the other submitted to ar-
bitration upon a fair basis. Never before, 1
"hmk, in a like period have so many impor-
ant treaties and commercial agreements been
concluded, and never before I am sure have
the honor and influence, national and com-
mercial, of the United States been held in
higher estimation in both hemispheres.
The union soldiers and sailors are now vet-
erans of time as well as of war. The par-
allels of age have approached close to the
citadels of life and the end for each of a
brave and honorable struggle is not remote
Increasing infirmity and years give the minor
tone of sadness and pathos to the mighty ap-
peal of service and suffering. The ear that
does not listen with sympathy and the heart
that does not respond with generosity are
the ear and heart of an alien and not of an
American. Now soon again the surviving
veterans are to parade upou the great avenue
of the national capital and every tribute of
honor and love should attend the march. A
comrade in the column of the victors' parade
in 18f>5, 1 am not less a comrade now.
I have used every suitable occasion to urge
upon the people of all sections the considera
tion that no good cause can be promoted
upon the lines of lawlessness. Mobs do not
discriminate and the punishments inflicted
by them have no repressive or salutary in-
fluence. On the contrary, they beget revenges
and perpetuate feuds. It is especially the
duty of the educated and influential to see
that the weak and ignorant when accused of
crime are fairly tried before lawful tribunals
The moral sentiment of the country should be
aroused and brought to bear for the sup-
pression of these offenses against the law and
social order.
CARE IN RECEIVING IMMIGRANTS.
The necessity for a careful discrimination
among the immigrants 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 habit are not
wanted at home. The industrious and self-
respecting, the lovers of law and liberty,
should be discriminated from the pauper, the
criminal, and the anarchist, who come only to
burden and disturb ou communities. Every
effort has been made to enforce the laws and
some convictions have been secured under
the contract-labor law.
The general condition of our country is one
of great prosperity. The blessing of God has
rested upon our fields and upon our people.
The annual value of our foreign commerce
has increased more than $400.00(3,000 over the
average for the preceding ten years, and
more than $210.000.000 over 1890, the last year
unaffected by the new tariff. Our exports in
1892 exceeded those of 1890 by more than $172,-
000.000, and the annual average for ten years
by $265.000.000. Our exports of breadstuff's in-
creased over those of 1890 more than $144.000,-
000; of provisions over $4.000,000, and of manu-
factures over $8,000.000. The merchandise bal-
ance of trade in our favor in 1892 was $202.944.-
342. No other nation can match the commer-
cial progress which those figures disclose.
Our compassion may well go out to those
whose party necessities and habits still com-
pel them to declare that our people are op-
pressed and our trade restricted by a pro-
tective tariff.
It is not possible for me to refer even in the
briefest way to many of the topics presented
in the resolutions adopted by the convention.
Upon all that have not been discussed I have
before publicly expressed my views. A
change in the personnel of a national admin-
istration is of comparatively little moment. If
those exercising public functions are notable,
honest, diligent and faithful, others possess-
ing all these qualities may be found to take
their places. But changes in the laws and
in administering policies are of great mo-
ment. When public affairs have been given a
direction and business has adjusted itself to
those lines, any sudden change involves a
stoppage and new business adjustments. If
the change of direction is so radical as to

bring the commercial turn-table into use, the
business changes involved are not readjust-
ments but reconstructions.
A PROGRAMME OP DEMOLITION.
The democratic party offers a programme of
demolition. The protective policy to which
all business, even that of the importer, is
now adjusted, the reciprocity policy, the new
merchant marine, are all to be demolished
not gradually, not taken down, but blown up
To this programme of destruction it has added
one constructive feature, the re-establish-
ment of state banks of issue. The policy of
the republican party is. on the other hand,
distinctively a policy of safe progression and
development of new factories, new markets
and new ships. It will subject business to no
perilous changes, but offers attractive oppor-
tunities for expansion upon familiar lines.
Very respectfully yours,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
MR. CLEVELAND'S LETTER.
To the Hon. William L. Wilson and Others,
Committee, Etc. Gentlemen: In responding
to your formal notification of my nomination
to the presidency by the national democracy I
hope I may be permitted to say at the outset
that continued reflection and observation
have confirmed me in my adherence to the
opinions which I have heretofore plainly and
publicly declared touching the questions in-
volved in the canvass.
This is a time, above all others, when these
questions should be considered in the light af-
torded by a sober apprehension of the princi-
ples upon which our government is based and
a clear understanding of the relation it bears
to the people for whose benefit it was created.
We shall thus be supplied with a test by which
the value of any proposition relating to the
maintenance and administration of our gov-
ernment can be ascertained and by which the
justice and honesty of every political ques-
tion can be judged. If doctrines or theories
are presented which do not satisfy this test
loyal Americans must pronounce them false
and mischievous.
PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE.
The protection of the people in the exclu-
sive use and enjoyment of their property and
earnings concededly constitutes the especial
purpose and mission of our free government.
This design is so interwoven with the struct-
ure of our plan of rule that failure to protect
the citizen in such use and enjoyment, or their
unjustifiable diminution by the government
itself, is a betrayal of the people's trust.
We have, however, undertaken to build a
great nation upon a plan especially our own.
To maintain it and to furnish through its
agency the means for the accomplishment of
national objects, the American people are
willing, through federal taxation, to surrender
a part of their earnings and income.
BURDEN OP TARIFF TAXES.
Tariff legislation presents a familiar form
of federal taxation. Such legislation results
as surely in a tax upon the daily life of our
people as the tribute paid directly into the
hand of the tax-gatherer. We feel the bur-
den of these tariff taxes too palpably to be
persuaded by any sophistry that they do not
exist or are paid by foreigners.
Such taxes, representing a diminution of
the property rights of the people, are only
justifiable when laid and collected for the
purpose of maintaining our government and
furnishing the means for the accomplish-
ment of its legitimate purposes and functions.
This is taxation under the operation of a
tariff for revenue. It accords with the pro-
fessions of American free institutions and its
justice and honesty answer the tests supplied
by a correct appreciation of the principles
upon which these institutions rest.
This theory of tariff legislation manifestly
enjoins strict economy in public expenditures
and their limitation to legitimate public uses,
inasmuch as it exhibits as absolute extortion
any exaction, by way of taxation, from the
substance of the people beyond the necessi-
ties of a careful and proper administration of
government.
DOGMA OF THE REPUBLICANS.
Opposed to this theory the dogma is now
boldly presented that tariff taxation is justifi-
able for the express purpose and intent of
thereby promoting especial interests and en-
terprises. Such a proposition is so clearly
contrary to the spirit of our constitution, and
so directly encourages the disturbance by
selfishness and greed of patriotic sentiment,
that its statement would rudely shock our
people if they had not already been insidiously
allured from the safe landmarks of principle.
Never have honest desire for national growth,
patriotic devotion to country, and sincere re-
gard for those who toil been so betrayed to
the support of a pernicious doctrine. In its
behalf the plea that our infant industries
should be fostered did service until dis-
credited by our stalwart growth; then fol-
lowed the exigencies of a terrible war, which
made our people heedless of the opportuni-
ties for ulterior schemes afforded by their
willing and patriotic payment of unprece-
dented tribute; and now, after a long period
of peace, when our overburdened countrymen
ask for relief and a restoration to a fuller en-
joyment of their incomes and earnings, they
are met by the claim that tariff taxation for
the sake of protection an American system,
the continuance of which is necessary in order
that high wages may be paid to our working-
men and a home market be provided for our
farm products.
SHOULD NO LONGER DECEIVE.
These pretenses should no longer deceive.
The truth is that such a system is directly
antagonized by every sentiment of justice
and fairness of which Americans are pre-
eminently proud. It is also tru^ that while
our workingmen and farmers can the least
of all our people^defend themselves against
the harder home life which such tariff taxa-
tion decrees, the workingman suffering from
the importation and employment of pauper
labor instigated by his professed friends, and
seeking security for his interests in organized
co-operation, sti'l waits for a division of
the advantages secured to his employer
under cover of a generous solicitude for his
wages, while the farmer is learning that the
prices of his products are fixed in foreign
markets, where he suffers from a competition
invited and built up by the system he is asked
to support.
The struggle for unearned advantage at
the doors of the government tramples on the
rights of those who patiently rely upon
assurances of American equality. Every
governmental concession to clamorous favor-
ites invites corruption in political affairs by
encouraging the expenditure of money to
debauch suffrage in support of a policy
directly favorable to private and selfish gain.
This, in the end. must strangle patriotism and
weaken popular confidence in the rectitude of
republican institutions.
QUESTION OF MORALS INVOLVED.
Though the subject of tariff legislation in-
volves a question of markets, it also involves
164
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOK 1893.
question of morals. We cannot with im-
aunity permit injustice to taint the spirit of
-ight and equity, which is the life of our re-
3ublic; and we shall fail to reach our national
iestiny if greed and selfishness lead the way.
Realizing these truths the national democ-
acy will seek by the application of just and
ound principles to equalize to our people the
ilessings due them from the government they
upport, to promote among our countrymen a
closer community of interests, cemented by
mtriotism and national pride, and to point
jut a fair field where prosperous and dive rai-
led American enterprise may grow and thrive
n the wholesome atmosphere of American
ndustry, ingenuity and intelligence.
STILL FOB TARIFF REFORM.
Tariff reform is still our purpose. Though
we oppose the theory that tariff laws may be
passed having for their object the granting of
Jiscriminating and unfair governmental aid
;o private ventures, we wage no exterminat-
ng war against any American interests. We
)elieve a readjustment can be accomplished,
n accordance with the principles we profess,
without disaster or demolition. We believe
ihat the advantages of freer raw material
should be accorded our manufacturers, and we
sontemplate a fair and careful distribution of
necessary tariff burdens, rather than the pre-
sipitation of free trade.
IMPOSSIBLE FREE TRADE.
We anticipate with calmness the misrepre-
sentation of our motives and purposes, insti-
gated by a selfishness which seeks to hold in
unrelenting grasp its unfair advantage under
present tariff laws. We will rely upon the
ntelligence of our fellow-countrymen to re-
ject the charge that a party comprising a ma-
jority of our people is planning the de-
struction or injury of American interests,
and we know they cannot be frightened by the
specter of impossible free trade.
FEDERAL POWER IN ELECTIONS.
The administration and management of our
government depend upon popular will. Fed-
eral power is the instrument of that will-
not its master. Therefore the attempt of the
opponents of democracy to interfere with and
control the suffrage of the states through fed-
eral agencies develops a design which no ex-
planation can mitigate, to reverse the funda-
mental and safe relations between the people
and their government. Such an attempt cannot
fail to be regarded by thoughtful men as
proof of a bold determination to secure the
ascendency of a discredited party in reckless
disregard of a free expression of the popular
will. To resist such a scheme is an impulse of
democracy At all times and in all places we
trust the people. As against a disposition to
force the way to federal power we present to
them as our claim to their confidence and
support a steady championship of their
rights.
SOUND AND HONEST MONET.
The people are entitled to sound and honest
money, abundantly sufficient in volume to
supply their business needs. But whatever
may be the form of the people's currency, na-
tional or state whether gold, silver or paper
it should be so regulated and guarded by
governmental action, or by wise and careful
laws, that no one can be deluded as to the cer-
tainty and stability of its value. Every dollar
put into the hands of the people should be of
the same intrinsic value or purchasing power.
With this condition absolutely guaranteed
both gold and silver can be safely utilized
upon equal terms in the adjustment of our
currency.
In dealing with this subject no selfish scheme
should be allowed to intervene and no doubt-
ful experiment should be attempted. The
wants of our people, arising from the deficien-
cy or imperfect distribution of money circu-
lation, ought to be fully and honestly recog-
nized and efficiently remedied. It should,
tiowever, be constantly remembered that the
inconvenience or loss that might arise from
such a situation can be much easier borne
than the universal distress which must follow
a discredited currency.
CIV1L-SEEVICE REFORM.
Public officials are the agents of the people.
It is therefore their duty to secure for those
whom they represent the best and most
efficient performance of public work. This
plainly can be best accomplished by regarding
ascertained fitness in the selection of govern-
ment employes. These considerations alone
are sufficient justification for an honest ad-
herence to the letter and spirit of civil-service
reform. There are, however, other features
of this plan, which abundantly commend it.
Through its operation worthy merit in every
station and condition of American life is
recognized in the distribution of public em-
ployment, while its application tends to raise
the standard of political activity from spoils-
hunting and unthinking party affiliation to
the advocacy of party principles by reason
and argument.
PENSION ROLL OF HONOR.
The American people are generous and
grateful, and they nave impressed these char-
acteristics upon their government. Therefore
all patriotic and just decisions must command
liberal consideration for our worthy veteran
soldiers and for the families of those who
have died. No complaint should be made of
the amount of public money paid to those
actually disabled or made dependent by reason
of army service. But our pension roll should
be a roll of honor, uncontaminated by ill
desert and unvitiated by demagogic use. This
is due to those whose worthy names adorn the
roll and to all our people who delight to honor
the brave and the true. It is also due to those
who in years to come should be allowed to
hear, reverently and lovingly, the story ol
American patriotism 'and fortitude illustrated
by our pension roll. The preferences accorded
to veteran soldiers in public employment
should be secured to them honestly and with
out evasion, and, when capable and worthy,
their claim to the helpful regard and gratitude
of their countrymen should be ungrudgingly
acknowledged.
WHOLESOME PARENTAL AUTHORITT.
The assurance to the people of the utmos
individual liberty consistent with peace and
good order is a cardinal principle of ourgov
ernment. This gives no sanction to vexatious
sumptuary laws which unnecessarily interfere
with such habits and customs of our people as
are not offensive to a just moral sense and are
not inconsistent with good citizenship and the
public welfare. The same principle requires
that the line between the subjects which are
properly within governmental control anc
those which are more fittingly left to parenta
regulation should be carefully kept in view
An enforced education, wisely deemed a
proper preparation for citizenship, should not
involve the impairment of wholesome pa-
rental authority nor do violence to the house-
hold conscience. Paternalism in government
finds no approval in the creed of democracy
It is a symptom of misrule, whether it is man
ifestedin unauthorized gifts or by an unwar
ranted control of personal and family affairs
LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
165
REGULATION OF IMMIGRATION.
Our people, still cherishing the feeling of
human fellowship which belonged to our be-
ginning as a nation, require their government
to express for them their sympathy with all
those who are oppressed under any rule less
free than ours.
A generous hospitality, which is one of the
most prominent of our national characteris-
ics, prompts us to welcome the worthy and
ndustrious of all lands to home and citizen-
ship among us. This hospitable sentiment is
not violated, however, by careful and reason-
able regulations for the protection of the
public health, nor does it justify the reception
of immigrants who have no appreciation of
pur institutions and whose presence among us
is a menace to peace and good order.
NICARAGUA SHIP CANAL.
The importance of the construction of the
Nicaragua ship canal as a means of promot-
'ng commerce between our states and with
x>reign countries, and also as a contribution
by Americans to the enterprises which
advance the interests of the world of civiliza-
tion, should commend the project to govern-
mental approval and indorsement.
NATIONAL PRIDE IN THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Our countrymen not only expect from those
who represent them in public places a sedu-
lous care of things which are directly and
palpably related to their material interests,
but they also fully appreciate the value of
cu'tivating our national pride and maintain-
ing our national honor. Both their material
nterests and national pride and honor are
nvolved in the success of the Columbian
Exposition, and they will not be inclined to
condone any neglect of effort on the part of
their government to insure in the grandeur
of this event a fitting exhibit of American
growth and greatness and a splendid demon-
stration of American patriotism.
RECORD AS A PUBLIC SERVANT.
In an imperfect and incomplete manner I
have thus endeavored to state some of the
things which accord with the creed and inten-
tions of the party to which I have given my
life-long allegiance. My attempt has not been
to instruct my countrymen or my party, but
to remind both that democratic doctrine lies
near the principles of our government and
tends to promote the people's good. I am
willing to be accused of addressing my coun-
trymen upon trite topics and in homely fash-
ion, for I believe that important truths are
found on the surface of thought and that
they should be stated in direct and simple
terms. Though much is left unwritten, my
record as a public servant leaves no excuse
for misunderstanding my belief and position
on the questions which are now presented to
the voters of the land for their decision.
Called for the third time to represent the
party of my choice in a contest for the su-
premacy of democratic principles, my grate-
ful appreciation of its confidence less than
ever effaces the solemn sense of my respon
sibility.
If the action of the convention you repre-
sent shall be indorsed by the suffrages of my
countrymen I will assume the duties of the
great office for which 1 have been nominated,
knowing full well its labors and perplexities,
and with humble reliance upon the divine
Being, infinite. in power to aid and constant in
a watchful care over our favored nation.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Gray Gables. Sept. 26. 1892.
GEN. WEAVER'S LETTER.
To the People of the United States: Having
been nominated respectively for the offices of
president and vice-president of the United
States by the national convention of the peo-
ple's party, which assembled at Omaha July 4,
1892, we take this method of formally notify-
ing the public of our acceptance of the nomi-
nations and of our appreciation of the honor
conferred upon us by the action of the con-
vention. We are heartily in accord with the
platform of principles adopted by that con-
vention, and if elected will endeavor to faith-
fully carry out the demands in letter and
spirit.
We have been requested by the national
committee to visit the various states of the
union so far as it shall be within our power,
and to address the people upon the political
situation and the issues presented in the plat-
form. We are now in the discharge of that
duty, having already, one or both of us, visited
fifteen states in the northwest and south, and
if health and strength are spared we intend to
continue the work until the campaign is
closed. We have been received with marked
cordiality. The enthusiasm everywhere is
without parallel and extends to every part of
the union we have visited.
FREELY AND WITHOUT RESERVE.
By contact with the people we have become
acquainted with their wants and sufferings
and have been brought face to face with the
manifold perils which so seriously threaten
our civilization and the overthrow of popular
government. We wish to express our judg-
ment freely and without reserve in order that
we may stand acquitted before our f ellowmen
and our own conscience touching the whole
matter.
The people are in poverty. Their substance
is being devoured by heartless monopolists,
trusts, pools and money sharks. Labor is
largely unemployed, and where vrork is ob-
tainable the wages paid are for the most part
unremunerative and the products of labor
not paying the costs of production. This is a
matter of serious concern to the whole people.
OLD PARTIES AND MONOPOLY.
The leaders of the heretofore dominant
parties are every where controlled byihegreat
monopoly and money centers and manifest
utter disregard for the wants and wishes of
the people. The parties are hostile camps ar-
rayed on sectional lines and the present bit-
terness and the cruelties of the past; every
four years discussing the issues of the late
war, which should long since have been
allowed to pass from the political discussions
of the day. Notwithstanding the bitterness
existing between the old parties they vie with
each other in their subservience to capital-
istic and corporate greed. They are incapa-
ble of dealing sincerely with the vast prob
lems evolved by the growth of the last quar-
ter of a century.
Upon the general economic questions of the
age they are practically the same in purpose,
differing just enough to enable them to carry
on a sham battle, while the work of robbery
and spoliation proceeds unabated. In the
meantime the farmers and planters north and
south and wage-earners everywhere are pro-
scribed, maltreated, brought into competition
with convict labor, and in many instances

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
DISHONESTY IN ELECTIONS.
We hold that the right of a free ballot and
a fair count are rights preservative of all
rights, and upon their inviolability rests the
perpetuity of free institutions and repre-
sentative government. We are pained to dis-
cover in the public mind of the southern
states through which we have passed a wide-
spread loss of confidence on the part of the
people in the integrity of the judges of elec-
tions in receiving the ballots of the people
and counting them for the candidates of
their choice. We think that this evil must be
corrected by the intelligence and integrity of
the people of the country, otherwise scenes
of violence and perhaps bloodshed may fol-
low these efforts of parties in charge of the
ballot-boxes to defraud the will of the voter.
They will lead to a serious collision, and that
quickly.
After consultation with the people we be-
lieve it to be true, beyond reasonable question,
that the majority of white voters are with the
people's party in every southern state thus far
visited, and our information leads us to be-
lieve that the same thing is true in the other
states. The white people are leaving the old
parties and casting their lots with us, and our
numbers are constantly increasing.
KOLB WAS COUNTED OUT.
We are informed by a large number of in-
telligent and reputable people that in the
recent state election in Alabama Capt. Kolb
was chosen governor by over 40,OUO majority,
and yet his opponent was counted in by a
majority of 10,000. County tickets throughout
the state were counted out and others counted
in. By the same unblushing methods we are
informed that in the state electian which oc-
curred in Arkansas on Sept. 5 at least 50,000 of
the qualified voters of the state were deprived
of the right of suffrage, that the returns were
inaccurate, that at this election the people's
party, a party polling a large vote, was denied
representation in the appointment of judges
and commissioners by whom the election was
to be conducted. In consequence of these
methods the will of the legally authorized
voters of the state has been defeated.
FRAUDS AND IRREGULARITIES.
The only thing that our friends in that state
have to guide them is in the few counties where
they were able to force an honest count. In
every one of these counties our vote ran fully
up to expectations. In Washington, Independ-
ence, White, Clark, Nevada, Crawford, Se-
bastian and Scott, populous white counties.the
people's party polled an immense vote, their
ticket leading the republican largely and was
about equal with the democratic. We believe
that a fair count would have shown similar
conditions throughout the state.
These frauds and irregularities in the state
referred to, though local, are yet matters
worthy of the serious consideration of the
people of the whole United States. The de-
plorable condition of affairs cannot be reme-
died from without. The solution must come
from the people within these states, support-
ed by a healthy public sentiment everywhere,
and we believe it to be the duty of all people
without regard to section to stand by these
noble people of the south who have risen up
to demand good government and honest
elections.
NEITHER OLD PARTY TRUSTED.
After an experiment of many years it is ap-
parent that neither the republican party nor
the democratic party can or will accomplish
the much-desired end to wit. the restoration
of the ballot to a fair and honest basis in the
states of the union. The people's party alone
can secure the desired end. If the people of
the whole country who desire honest elections
and the repeal of class laws will rally to the
support of this great industrial movement,
and place the party in power under whose
banner the white people of the south are now
marshaling themselves, this vexed question
will be settled forever.
It is certain that the people of the south will
not join the ranks of the republican party. It
is equally certain that the republicans will not
unite with the democratic party. The people's
party affords the only solution of these impor-
tant matters
INDUSTRIAL AND FRATERNAL MOVEMENT.
All who desire the revival of business; all
who wish for the return of prosperity to our
country; all who desire to relieve the de-
pressed industries and wage-workers of our
common country; all who desire an adequate
increase of our currency and the free coinage
of silver; all who desire the abolition of banks
of issue and the constitutional control of the
great instruments of commerce by the g9v-
ernmentof the United States; all who desire
that the laws of taxation shall be equitably
adjusted to the property of the country; all
who desire that the public domain shall be
sacredly held in trust for the people; all who
desire that the highways between the states
shall be rendered subservient to the popular
good, and, finally, all who desire the restora-
tion of fraternity among the people and the
obliteration of sectional animosities, shoxild at
once regard it as their conscientious duty to
align themselves under the banner of this
great industrial and fraternal movement.
JUSTICE AND GOOD GOVERNMENT.
It seems to us to be quite impossible that
e liberty and justice loving people of this
country should longer cast their ballots for
the corporations and money-changers. It
would seem impossible that they should re-
fuse to make common cause with the fair-
minded majority of the people of the south
who have risen up to demand justice and
good government in their respective states.
And it further seems quite impossible that
the producers and laboring people of the
United States shall deliberately go to the polls
in November and cast their votes in harmony
with the corporations and money power who
have systematically and cruelly robbed them
for so many years, vote in harmony with their
despoilers, who made war against even their
right to organize for the protection of them-
selves and families.
With the aggressions of capital on the one
hand and the overthrow by fraud of free
elections on the other, how is it possible
for our civilization to last? The new party
has its face turned to the glorious future. Its
sublime mission is to usher in an era of fra-
ternity and justice among men. In the pres-
ence of such an opportunity to emancipate
our country from misrule of every kind let
party lines be forgotten and let the generous
flame of a common patriotism nerve every
heart and move every soul.
JAMES F. WEAVER.
JAMES G. FIELD.
GEN. BIDWELL'S LETTER.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Com-
mittee: By your polite letter of this date,
which I have the honor to receive at your
hands, I am formally notified that the na-
tional prohibition convention, in session in
the city of Cincinnati, adopted a platform of
principles for the coming political campaign,
and thereupon conferred upon me the distin-
guished honor of its nomination for president
of the United States.
LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
167
In accepting the nomination, which I do with
misgivings as to my ability to meet the just
expectations of the people, permit me to
thank you, gentlemen, for the courteous and
kindly manner in which you have been pleased
to discharge the trust assigned you, and
through you to embrace the occasion to ex-
press to the members of the convention and
the friends of prohibition and reform through-
out the country whom you represent my grate-
ful acknowledgment.
It is scarcely necessary to add that I am
overwhelmed with a keen sense of the re-
sponsibility which I assume.
Mistakes are possible, but I trust the cause
may not suffer in my hands. All I have to
plead is unswerving devotion to those great
principles and needed reforms which have
Drought into existence the prohibition party
of the nation.
Those who witnessed the convention in Cin-
cinnati need not be reminded that some-
thing of unusual moment had aroused the na-
tion and brought together a representative
body of men and women the equal of which
for intelligence and patriotic earnestness has
seldom if ever been seen at any former
period.
In 1776 our fathers made proclamation of the
birth of the nation. Now. having grown to be
one of the greatest powers of the earth, the
freest and best government ever devised, the
hope of the world, the "grandest government-
al fabric of human invention." our beloved
American nation is. in the minds of most
thoughtful and intelligent people, drifting un-
mistakably toward decay, if not to sure and
swift destruction.
Prohibition comes, therefore, to proclaim,
as we believe, the only way of salvation.
AN IMMEASURABLE EVIL.
There are well-founded apprehensions that
this nation which we love this mighty em-
pire of sovereign states cannot survive unless i
redeemed from the dangers that jeopard its !
existence, prominent among which are that I
immeasurable evil, the monster liquor traffic. !
and the numerous forms and phases of the
monopolistic combinations, creating immense
wealth in the hands of a few and impoverish-
ng the many. The same causes and processes
which have created increasing numbers of
millionaries will, if unchecked under the rule
of the old political parties, in time turn over
the entire nation into the hands of an aristoc-
racy of monster billionaires.
Labor creates the wealth of the country.
Without labor there can be no development
of resources, no national prosperity. The
iquor traffic robs, impoverishes, and demoral-
zes labor, thereby sapping the very founda-
tions of the national fabric.
The liquor traffic is an enormous incubus
upon the nation, amounting in cost and con-
sequences to the annual sum of not less than
$2.UUO.OOO,000 four times the amount requisite
to pay the annual expenses of the national
government, even under the recent expensive
administrations.
But it is not necessary further to enumerate.
Suffice it to say, the liquor traffic is a standing
curse a danger to public health; the prolific
source of untold political corruption, crimes,
diseases, degradation and death; a public
nuisance and a public immorality. In a word,
it is an unmitigated and measureless evil
without a redeeming feature.
Every consideration of justice, the public
welfare, protection to labor, all cry out j
against this great wrong. The only adequate'
remedy lies in the entire overthrow of the
liquor traffic in every state and territory.
The liquor power leads, corrupts and domi-
nates both the old political parties. Without
the liquor support neither could make
another political fight or win a victory.
The prohibition party asks the intelligent
and patriotic people of this nation this ques-
tion: Are not these charges true? And, if
true, have you not a right to ask : How can
any good man consistently support the infa-
mous saloon business by longer clinging to
the destinies of those parties?
PROTECT THE HOME.
The family is the unit of civilized govern-
ment. Protect the home and the nation will
be protected.
In the name of right and humanity, then, let
not free, enlightened and Christian America
longer injure and degrade woman by with-
holding from her that which is her inaliena-
ble right; that which will elevate American
womanhood; that which will enlarge her use-
fulness; that which will impart to her greater
ability to be the helper and co-worker with
man under all circumstances and conditions;
that which alone will make woman man's
equal before the law and place in her hands
the most efficient weapon with which to de-
fend her rights and protect her home. I
allude, of course, to that priceless heritage,
the ballot.
In doing this Americans should lose no time.
Americans, of all people under the sun, are
the most nearly ready.
Our women know what the ballot is and its
power; they are, as a class, intelligent, virtu-
ous, self-reliant, womanly and modest.
If we delay England will take the lead In
the emancipation of woman.
The nation that first gives woman equal
rights with man will earn a crown of imper-
ishable glory.
The old parties, controlled as they are by
the liquor power and by vast monopolistic
and other influences, cannot, dare not even
propose, much less seriously purpose, to over-
throw the saloon, grant equal suffrage, or do
any other act in the direction of a beneficent
reform antagonistic to these controlling in-
fluences.
They need them this year for re-election,
they will need them next time, and so on as
long as they have an existence. Powerful
political parties invariably become corrupt
and utterly helpless to right themselves. The
only real service they can do is to go out of
existence. It is a singular phenomenon that
good men will remain in affiliation with such
parties and thus lend aid and comfort to the
liquor business.
THE MONEY QUESTION.
The financial question in our platform is
briefly and fairly stated and broad enough to
satisfy all reasonable men in these words:
"The money of the country should consist of
gold, silver and paper." Also that it be "is-
sued by the government only." It should, of
course, be in sufficient quantity to meet all
demands, and the volume be so increased
and adjusted as at all times to respond to the
conditions of the country.
Of all the forms used by men to overreach
each other in the scramble for wealth there
is none more oppressive and blighting to labor
and business generally than the monopoly of
money. Combinations to lock up capital with
the view to raise the rate of interest or to re-
duce the price of labor or commodities should
be made illegal.
Take farmers, for example. As a class they
are compelled to be and as a rule are frugal.
Yet there is little doubt that the mortgage f
which cover their farms indicate with almost
unerring certainty the overcharge of interes
they are obliged to pay.
The legal rate of interest should be made
108
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1893.
low and reasonable for the benefit of all
classes, occupations and industries, and be
uniform in all the states. No man ought to be
compelled to pay exorbitant interest because
he is poor. If his security is doubtful, exact-
ing from him high interest will not increase
his ability to pay. As a matter of
who honestly and promptly pay should have
the benefit of the legal low rate of interest,
if combinations may be formed ad libitum to
accumulate and hoard the wealth of the
country they will soon have it in their power
to stop the very wheels of progress to exer-
cise dangerous control over legislatures,
courts, and congresses, if not virtually to dic-
tate all the affairs of the nation.
In a wide sense all who pursue useful occu-
pations, professions or callings are 1'aborers.
In the busy hive of national industry there is
a place for the merchant, the mechanic, the
doctor, the teacher, the learned professor, the
lawyer, the legislator in a word, for all who
in any manner perform useful or valuable
service.
In the common conception of the term
laborers (which I may use) it is usually ap-
plied to those who labor with their hands.
Happily, in this land of freedom and equal
rights all labor is regarded as honorable, and
none more useful than manual labor.
RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.
In order to relieve the labor of the country
of its abnormal and often congested condi-
tion there should be the earliest possible re-
vision and restriction of the immigration and
naturalization laws of the United States.
These laws, so inimical to American labor and
the best interests of all, if not purposely en-
acted, have doubtless been kept in force for
partisan considerations for fear of detriment
to partisan interests till our country has be-
come the almost daily scene of riots, lawless-
ness and bloodshed, and not infrequently on
such a scale as to portend, if permitted to go
unchecked, the possible subversion of all
authority. The discord between capital and
labor cannot safely be allowed to continue.
No matter what the cause, it is imperative to
remove it.
The general welfare and even the fate of
the nation demand that a remedy be found
and applied, whether by arbitration or other-
wise. Tribunals of adequate jurisdiction can
be provided to decide all differences between
men or bodies of men, be they large or small,
capitalists and laborers or employers and the
employed.
Labor itself has the deepest interest in the
general welfare. All its hopes are insepara-
bly associated with the prosperity and des-
tiny of the nation. All intelligent and patri-
otic Americans concede that the laboring
classes and all classes have the right to ask
and to receive ample and adequate protection
under just and equal laws.
Intelligent laboring men, being in the ma-
jority at the polls, must bear in mind their
own responsibility in making the laws to
which they themselves and all others are
bound to yield obedience.
That capital sometimes overreaches and
oppresses labor is doubtless true. There
seems to be no limit to human greed.
That labor is sometimes unreasonable and
even vicious is also probably true. But law-
lessness and lawless combinations of men.
the only effects of which are to enervate and
destroy, must at once be put under the ban of
severe public disapprobation if this country
is to prosper.
In the national hive there should be no
drones. There should be room and there is
room for all to labor, and all ought to have
and must have the right to labor. It is a
duty and a right that all men have, to earn
their bread and support their families. If it be
necessary to have organizations as a defense
against capital or competing labor, such
organizations should be authorized and regu-
lated by law.
PARTY POSITION ON TARIFF.
Whatever tariffs may do they do not seem
adequately, if at all, to protect labor. Except
the partial effort to check the introduction of
Mongolians our ports are open to all the
world to come and compete with American
labor. There is no tariff on labor.
We must concede that all nations have the
right to levy tariffs. As Americans we are in
favor of protecting all American interests.
The tariff proposed by the democratic party
and that of the republican party differ only in
degree both are sufficiently high to be
termed protective.
To the objection that tariffs bear unequally
that is to say, that under them the rich pay
comparatively nothing and the masses nearly
all the revenue so derived to support the
national government must be added the fur-
ther objection that they are blinding and
deceptive.
Under the present tariff there is not a man
in the United States who can tell what he
pays toward the support of the national gov-
ernment. Impressed with this fact, which all
intelligent citizens ought to know and all the
people must sooner or later learn, the tariff
is doubtless destined to undergo constant and
numerous revisions by congress in the impos-
sible effort to equalize all its burdens and
benefits.
Our national convention wisely justifies
tariff as a defensive measure, which prac-
tically can but mean reciprocity.
In a country of such vast and varied re-
sources as ours such a tariff system could not
fail to yield a very considerable revenue.
A further provision of the platform con-
tains a measure of revenue of such tran-
scendent importance as to commend itself to
the favor of all classes, and especially the
masses, in these words: "The residue of
means necessary to an economical adminis-
tration of the government should be raised
by levying a burden on what the people pos-
sess instead of upon what they consume."
The platform fairly, and as I think with
great wisdom, embraces the policy of laying
the burden of public revenue where it justly
belongs and precisely where the ability lies
to pay namely, "on what the people possess";
in other words, on their wealth, the value of
which will generally be measured in dollars
by the revenue or net income it yi3lds to the
possessor.
WHY AN INCOME TAX IS FAVORED.
An income tax can do no injustice, work no
oppression, for where there is no income there
will be nothing to pay; the rich will pay most
and the poor least or nothing. This mode of
revenue is no experiment in this country.
During the great rebellion when every source
of revenue was strained to sustain the armies
of the union an income tax was resorted to
and it worked like a charm.
It helped then to save the union and will
help to save the nation now in another rebel-
lionthe classes against the masses.
Some men, of course, will always try to
evade the payment of their just taxes. But
no honest man, I think, can ever make any
reasonable objection to a well regulated in-
come tax.
The effect of this mode of raising national
revenue cannot fail to be beneficent. It will
relieve the poor without oppressing the rich.
Perhaps no other measure possible to be de-
LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
169
vised will work greater reform or give greater
impetus to general prosperity than a wisely
regulated income tax. One of its results would
be to favor the equal distribution of wealth;
it would go far to heal the growing discord be-
tween labor and capital.
A further important effect to flow from a
revenue system based on "what the people
possess instead of upon what they consume"
would be that it would at once become to the
interest of all, rich and poor alike, to align
themselves on the side of the strictest econ-
omy in all branches of the public service.
There is perhaps no one issue in all the
broad array of prohibition principles em-
braced in our national platform of more vital
concern to the material prosperity of our
whole country than that of transportation.
Hence we declare in favor of government
control of "railroad, telegraph and other pub-
lic corporations" in the interest of all the peo-
ple. If railroads cannot otherwise be so con-
trolled, then it becomes the imperative duty
of government to acquire and exercise abso-
lute ownership, especially of the great trunk
lines, for we mean practical and efficient con-
trolnothing less.
So essential is this instrumentality to our
national life and prosperity in this stage of
rapid transit that whatever powers own and
control the railways of the United States, in-
timately associated as they are with other
great monopolistic interests, will have it with-
in their sway virtually to own and control the
government.
DANGER FROM CORPORATIONS.
It is well known that .railways and their
natural affiliations (the great moneyed and
other corporate powers) have already a most
dangerous influence in all elections and in
every department of the government. They
are absolutely corrupting. We boast that ours
is the freest and best government, and so it is.
But the question comes home to every
thoughtful mind: Is it safe for the people to
surrender their rights into the hands of great
corporations?
The transportation question has and ever
will have an important effect in adding
strength to the bonds of the national union
by multiplying the facilities for travel and
the commingling of the people of all sections,
thereby dissipating prejudices, forming and
connecting friendships, unifying the people in
anguage, in national spirit and love of coun-
iry through the constant medium of more in-
timate, social and business relations.
For these considerations transportation
must be controlled owned if necessary by
the government of the United States.
The general diffusion of morality and intelli-
gence is essential to the preservation of the
rights and liberties of the people. One state
constitution has it in these words:
"A general diffusion of knowledge and intel-
gence being essential to the preservation of
the rights and liberties of the people, the leg-
islature shall encourage by all suitable means
the promotion of intellectual, scientific,
moral and agricultural improvement."
Another state constitution has the same
declaration, thus: " Knowledge and learning
zenerally diffused throughout the community
being essential to the preservation of a free
government, it shall be the duty of the general
assembly to encourage by all suitable means
moral, intellectual, scientific and agricultural
improvement."
We have, therefore, ample reason for the
conclusion that this free popular government
this mighty empire of sovereign states can
only be preserved on the basis of morality and
intelligence.
The demand is therefore imperative that
ample means of education upon such basis be
provided at the public expense and placed
within the reach of every child in the nation.
The transcendent importance of the common
school cannot be too firmly emphasized.
PROMOTION OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Our national convention has therefore
wisely made prominent in its platform the
American public school, which should be, If
possible, the most prevalent and conspicuous
object in the nation. Over it the flag of free-
dom should ever be unfurled, for it should be
a school of patriotism as well as of intelli-
gence and morality. The teachings of the
American public school should be in accord
with Americin ideas with American civil-
ization, which of course is a Christian civil-
ization, but they must be strictly absolutely
non-sectarian. The standard of morality
must accord with our civilization and per-
vade all the books and teachings of the pub-
lic school, which must not in any phase be a
school of immorality.
Complaint has been made from various
sources that American public schools are god-
less and immoral and therefore not good
enough to suit some people. The remedy is to
make them good enough. Place them on a high
moral standard. Eliminate from the public
school every feature that has the slightest
tendency to immorality; ever bearing in
mind that under our form of government the
conditions essential to OUT existence as a na-
tion make it imperative that our public
schools ~G free from every sectarian influence.
In the interest of national unity there
should be a national language and that, of
course, the English.
No other should be the language of the
public school. A knowledge of the national
language so far as to read and write the same
fairly well should, in addition to good moral
character, be made a condition of naturaliza-
tion and the inestimable right of suffrage.
Taking our rank as we do foremost among
Christian nations, we ought not as a nation to
ignore the Christian sabbath. The closing of
the World's Fair on Sunday is important to
show to the world America's rank among the
nations.
THE TRIALS OP THE TIMES.
This magnificent republic, with an area
equal to that of all Europe, with a population
already of nearly 05,000,000, with industries
and resources vast, varied and almost limit-
less; and with more than a century of unex-
ampled prosperity and remarkable history.and
destined in the providence of God, as we be-
lieve, to become the leading power of the
world, is even yet regarded by other nations
as in the experimental stage. The enemies of
free government still predict and doubtless
hope to see America's downfall. America
was never more on trial than she is to-day.
Dangers are ever present. The eyes of the
world are upon us to see whether or not Amer-
ica possesses in a measure equal to or greater
than monarchies the elements of strength
and perpetuity to carry our government
through all present and possible emergencies.
The same patriotism and wisdom that laid
the foundation will be required to preserve
the temple of liberty. Our foes are more
numerous than at the beginning and our dan-
gers are multiplied. Eternal vigilance was
never more necessary. The important ques-
tion of the hour is: How can this republic be
tided over all the dangers that threaten and
bepreserved to bless the world?
The far-seeing patriot makes answer: Ban-
ish alcohol and make the nation sober. Make
the people intelligent, moral and law-abiding.
Control all monopolies in the interest of the
170
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
people. Banish anarchy, punish all crimes,
suppress all lawless combinations. Restrict
foreign immigration. Rest the right of suf-
frage and citizenship on the sure basis of
morality and intelligence.
Teach all children in the American public
school the sacredness of the ballot, of obe-
dience to law, of willing submission to right-
ful authority and the settlement of differ-
ences betwet n men by arbitration.
That all great national questions must be
settled, and all dangers averted, and all need-
ful reforms achieved by the same sacred
principle of unreserved acquiescence in the
majority rule. Majorities make the laws.
Majorities repeal them.
We fondly believe ours to be the best
government the world has seen. On the
principle stated of adhering sacredly to
obedience to law and the arbitrament of all
questions to majorities there can be no reason
why our free popular government may not,
under the blesslngof God, endure till the close
of time. The principle is of such vital
moment that we cannot begin too soon to
make it a feature in the curriculum in all
American public schools.
Making this the inflexible rule of our faith
and practice, this proud republic, with all its
vast concerns, may be easily held together by
the bonds of common interest, even were our
boundaries enlarged and our population and
our national affairs indefinitely multiplied.
THE PROHIBITION PLATFORM IS COMPLETE.
The principles of our prohibition platform,
as far as I have been able to refer to them, are
ample to show that they cover as entirely as
ought to be desired in a brief outline of party
policy many if not the most of the promi-
nent problems pressing for solution at the
present hour.
Our platform warrants unyielding opposi-
tion to all speculations in margins to ''the
cornering of grain, money and products," to
'pools, trusts," etc., and by implication to lot-
teries and all modes of gambling, public and
private.
But further allusion to 9ur principles is not
necessary. We cover a wider field than any
othtr political party. We claim that ours is
the only party that promises anything what-
ever in the line of real reform.
In 1776 we needed immigration. The com-
plaint against England was that immigration
had been obstructed. But times have changed.
We make no war against foreigners as such.
This is a world of competition. Each nation
is competing with all other nations. Some
are favored nations. Ours is one. All the
world has been and still is coming to us.
But we must now begin to close the doors in
self-defense. We do not want the world
faster than we can Americanize the world
We have already quite enough of imported
nihilism, anarchism and pauperism.
We do not ask foreigners coming to this land
pt freedom to change their faith. We do not
intend to protestantize or Romanize or in
any manner sectarianize them. But we d(
insist that they shall not destroy our liberties
by any attempt to foreignize or anarchize us
or our government; that they should appreci-
ate our liberties and privileges; that as a con-
dition of citizenship they should learn to
speak our national language and to read and
write it fairly well.
UNDENOMINATIONAL AND NON-SECTIONAL.
Our safety and our future demand that our
government shall never in any manner be-
come denominational or sectional.
Unfortunately, at present, labor in this
country is divided against itself. Banish the
saloon, restrict immigration, and relief will
soon follow.
Prohibition is the greatest friend of labor.
No other can achieve in full measure entire
relief.
We propose to make labor moral, intelligent
and united in the eommon prosperity.
To save and perpetuate this nation our hope
is in the masses in the labor and not mon-
opolies.
Wealth is boundless in its ambition to gain
wealth, and would if it could monopolize the
very earth. Therefore, we say that the hope
of this nation is in the many and not in the
few the many are they who labor.
Our appeal is to the good and intelligent
voters of all political parties.
Religious denominations are all invited to
unite in conquering our country for temper-
ance. They can vie with each other in bene-
ficent rivalry. Their field is our whole country
and the world. We appeal to the courageous
young manhood of the nation before it casts
its first ballot and to the older and veteran
voters before they cast their latest and per-
haps their last vote to vote against the
saloon; that is to say, vote with the prohibi-
tion party, for that is the only political party

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE FOR THE PRO
President Wm. H. Parsons.
Vice-President William Strong.
General Secretary James M. King.
Treasurer William Fellowes Morgan.
Law Committee William Allen Butler, Dor-
man B. Eaton, Cephas Brainerd, Henry E.
Howland and Stephen A. Walker.
Offices 140 Nassau street, New York.
The league, which is entirely non-partisan
and unsectarian, was incorporated Dec. 24,
1889, under an act of the New York legisla-
ture. Its objects are " to secure constitu-
;ional and legislative safeguards for the pro-
tection of the common-school system and
other American institutions and to promote
aublic instruction in harmony with such insti-
tutions and to prevent all sectarian or denomi-
national appropriations of public funds." As an
mportant step to this end the league proposes
to secure the passage of the following amend-
ment to the constitution of the United States:
"No state shall pass any law respecting an
TECTION OF AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS,
establishment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof or use its property or
credit or any money raised by taxation or au-
thorize either to be used for the purpose of
founding, maintaining or aiding by appropri-
ation, payment for services, expenses or oth-
erwise, any church, religious denomination or
religious society, or any institution, society or
undertaking which is wholly or in part under
sectarian or ecclesiastical control."
It will also endeavor to secure similar
amendments to the state constitutions.
The league has been in active operation
since May, 1890, and already has many thou-
sands of adherents distributed throughout
every state and territory. Many religions and
patriotic organizations have formally ap-
proved its principles.
State leagues are being organized and local
secretaries appointed in all the states, and cor-
respondence and co-operation is invited from
thoughtful citizens throughout the country.
