species of chestnut, the edible fruit of
which, imported into this country, is
known as the Spanish chestnut.
"Gardner's Farmer's Dictionary"
contains the following brief description
of this "famous European tree":
"Tho European, also called the
Spanish or Italian Ohostnut, is of immense
size and longevity, trees being
known which have a girth of sixty
feet. Tho wood, except in very old,
trees, is admirable, being inoro durable
than oak in moist situations. The
bark is also used in tanning. Tt prefors
a dry, silieious soil, abounding in
sillolous matters and potash.
"Tho European variety is easily
raised from tho seed, grows rapidly.
and bears in seven years. The fruit is
flvo times larger than ours and commands
a good price in tho market;
chestnuts are used boiled, roasted and
raw. In Southern France, Italy, &o.,
they constitute the bread of a largo
population."

The convention justly albums that'
Uelorin is in ecssary in civil service,
leeossary to its purification, neces.a.y
0 its economy and its elliciency, no* \
es^aiy in order that the ordinary cm- 1
[doyincnt ot the public business may
not be "a pri/.e fought (or al the ballot '
i n
box, a Uriel reward of party zeal instead
ot posts ol honor assigned lor
proved competency, and held lor fidelity
in the public employ." The convention
wisely added that "Reform is
necessary oven more in the higher |
grades of public* service. ITesident,'

these and nil others in authority are
not a private pot iiui.siti; they are a 1
public li usi."
Two evils intent the otlicial service
ot the Federal government.
One is the prevalent iiihI dcinotnli/.in};
notion that the public service exists
not 'or the busine-s ami bencrit ol
tlio whole people, but for the interim
ol tin* ollicclu'blcrs, who arc in truth
but tlio servants ol tho people. I n- j
ilor the ii lluenco ot this pernicious

the public funds, Irom the high plans
ol power to the lowest, have our- ,
spread th'i whole serviee like a lcpu>1
he other evil is the organization ol
the ollieial class into i; body of political
mercenaries, governing tin; cauensBoa
and dictating the nominations
of their own party, and attempting to '
carry the elections ?. t the people by j
undue ii lluetiee, and by immense corrupt
ion-! amis systematically collected
Iroin t lie salaries in" lees ol olliee-holders.
Tho ollieial class in otlu r countries,
sometimes by its own weight
and sometimes in alliance with the j
army, has been able to rule the unorganized
masses even under universal
sutVrage. Here it lias already grown
into a gigantic, power capable ol stilling
the iiifpiraulions of a sound public
opinion, and ol resisting an easy!
efiuni^o ol adminr.U ration, until mis-j
miiK'tit becomes intolerable, and
public^ spirit has hot n stuntj lo tho
pitch ol" :i oivii revolution.
The lirst fclep in relonn is the ok- j

Alter these immediate steps, which
will ensure the exhibition of bettor exam pies, !
we may wisely go on lo the abolition of im- I
necessary offices, and, finally, to the patient*'
careful cigunlznllon of a belter civil service
system, utuler the costs, wherever praticablo,
of proved competency and fidelity.
While much may be aoconipllslicd by these
methods, it might encourage delusivo expectations
if I withheld hero the expression ot my
conviction that .10 reform of die civil service
in this country w ill be complete and permanent
until its cldofmagistrate is constitutionally
disqualified for re-election; experience having
repeatedly exposed the futility of self-imposed
restilotions by cfuididates or incumbents.

Educated in the belief tint it Is the first
duty of a citizen of tlio republic to take his
fair allotment of care and trouble in public
affairs, I have, for forty years, as a prlvato
citizen, fulfilled that duty. Though occupied
in an unusual degree dining all that period
with the concerns of the government, 1 have
never acquired the habit of official life. When,
a year and a half ago, i entered upon my present
trust, It was In order to consumate reforms
to which I had already devoted several
of the bust years of my life. Knowing as 1
do, therefore, from lVosh experience, how
great the difference is between gliding through
an official routine and working out a re tor in
of systems and polclcs, it Is impossible for 111c
to contemplate what needs to be done in the
federal administration without an anxious
sense of the difficulties of the undertaking.
If summoned by the suilV.iges of my countrymen
to attempt this work, I shall endeavor,

In such a reformat ion the re- i

KitKOKM Nic::niu>.
Tho first work ol reform must evidently
bo tlio restoration ot thu normul
operation of tho Constitution of
tho United States, with all its amendments.
The necessities of war cannot
bo pleaded in a timo oi peace; the i
right ot local si lt government sis
guaranteed by tho Constitution oi tho
[ Union must bo everywhere restored,
and the cent ralized (almost personal)
t imperialism which lias been practised
j must bo done away, or the lit si prinI
oipk'9 of the republic will be lo.-u.
Our financial system of expedients
i must bo reformed, field and jilver
i ate the real standard ol value-, and
' our national currency wi'.l not bo a
pertoet medium of exchange until it
shall be convertible at the plt-asujo ol
I tho holders. As I have heretofore
said, no one desires a return t
payments more earnestly than 1 do; i
but 1 do not believe that it tVill or
can be reached in harmony wi|h the ,
. interests of the people by aifilicial
! measures lor the contraction of the
j currency, any more than 1 Relieve
that wealth or permanent prosperity
j can bo created by an inflation of the
(currency. The laws of finance ;annot
be disregarded with impunity The
I financial policy ol the (lovcnment,
it, indc d, it deserves the nnmonl policy
at all, has been in dimi-hird ol
those laws, ami therefore has disturbed
commercial and business confidence,
as well as hindered a rriurn to
specie payments. One toatuiv/ot that
policy was tlio resumption amuse ol
the Act of 1876, which has eiharrass- i
ed the country by the nniici ition ol
a compulsory ivmmplion forwhich no
j preparation has been made, fid withj
out an assurance that ii wuld be
I practicable. Tho repeal of that '
dans? is necessary tlut to natural!
operation of financial law may ho
lectured, that tho husint.H ol tho
c "untry may ho relieved frm its disturbing
ami depressing inflnnoo, and !
that a rotutn to specie pnytentH may
, he facilitated by tho suhiitution ot
wiser and inoro prudent egislation,
which shall mainly rely ona judicious
i system ol public economies and olliI
cial rotrenohmenU, and .wove all on
tho promotion of proapoyfy in all tho
industries of the j/eople.
I do not undo/stand fho repeal of
tho resumption clause of the A<*t, of
U-7r? to he a hukwnM step in our
renin to spey*) ]-ivim-nt, hut the
recovery of a JMse stop} and alth ;gh

'Assticha hindrance, * says the platform
el the St. I.ousis t\>nveuiion,
14 Wo <k nouneo the i esmnpt ion clause
ol the Act ol I To, ami demand its repeal."
I thoroughly believe that by public
econoni) , by < llicial t?Imudimcnts,
ami by WHO linat.ee enabling us to
accumulate ti e precious metals, resumption
at an eaily period is possible,
without producing an "artificial
scarcity ol current-)" or distuibiug
public or commercial credit; ami th it
these lelorms, together w ith lher<?toration
of pure government, will restore
genet al confidence, encourage
the useful inveulment ol capita!, Ittrnish
employment to labor, and relieve
the country Irom the "paralysis ol
hard limes,"
Of It I NDlSTlillts.
With the industries of the people
there have been Irtqueni intcrlerenccs.
Our plullorm truly says that many
industries have been in. povci ished to
stiboidi/.o u lew. Our commerce has
been degraded to an inlet io'r position
on the high seas; manufactures have
been diminished; agriculture has been
embatlussed, ami the distress el the
itidusli ial classes demands that these
things shall he relortned.
The burdens ol the people must aim
be lightened by a great change in our
system o! public expenses. The profligate
expenditures which iutreused
taxation liom live dollats per capita in
1 HUO to eight-en dollars in 187o telis
its own story e l our need ol fiscal return).
Our tieaiies with foreigh powers
sliould also be revised ami amended,
in so lar as they leave citizens o! IT reign
birth in any particular h ss secure
in any evuntiy on earth than they
would In* it they had been burn on
our own soil; anel the iniquitous coolie
system which, through the agency ol
wealth) companies, import.* e'hinese
bondmen, ami estabii-hes a species ol
slavery, ami intcrtcres with thejust
rewards ol labor on our 1'aeitic tonal,
should be utterly abolished.
In the relot tn el oil" civil service, I
must heat lily imloisc that section ol
the platform which declares that the
civil serv i :e ouelit not to bo "subicct
U> change at i\u y ? -lection," ami tlial
it omilii not to be made "the briol ro
ward ol |tili*ly zeal," but ought to bo
awarded lor j voted competency and
la id lor fidelity in the public employ."
! hope nt\( r a*ri >n to see liie e Vile I
and remoreloss prosctiplion lor political
oniuioiis wliieli lias disgraced the
administration ot the last eight years.
]>ad as liic civil service now is, as all
know, it has some nu n nl tried inter.,
rii v and ];io\eii ability. Such in n,
and Mali men only, should be retained
in ollici'j but no man should be retained
on any consideration who lias
pi nsslit ut< d his oliice to the purposes
oi part isan intimidation or compulsion,
or v.lu> has lurnidicd money to corrupt
the elections. This is done and
has been done in almost every country
i)l the lull 1. It is a blight upon the
morals ot the land, it is a blight
upon the morals of the country, and
ought to be reformed.
ouu schools'
Of sectional contentions, and in res
peel i?? our common school;*, I have
only this to Buy: That in my judgmuni,
lho man or party that would
in\ol\o our schools in political or
sectarian controversy is an enemy to
the schools. The common schools are
safer under the protecting care ol all
the people than under the coutiol oi
any party or hect. They must be
neither sectarian nor partisan, and
there must he neither division nor
misappropriation ol the lunds lor their
suppoit. Likewise 1 regard the man
who would arouse or foster sectional
animosities and antagonisms among
his countrymen as a dangerous enemy
to his country. Alhtlic people must
be made to tecl and know that once
more there is tstablished a purpose
and policy under which all citizens ol
every condition; race and color, will
be secure in the enjoyment ol'whatever
rights the constitution and laws declan?
or recognize; and that in controversies
that may ar'ne the government
is not a partisan, but, w ithin its
constitutional authoiity the just and
powcrlul guardian ut the rights and
sulety ol all. The strife between the
sections and bet ween races will cease
as soon as the power tor evil is taken
