JUDGE PARKE Accepts the Presidents By the Denn THE NOTIFICATION ADDRESSES Utterances of the Democratic Candidate on the Issues Before the Country in the Present Campaign. Ksoj us, N. Y., Special.?Judge Alton B. Parker Wednesday received formal notification of his nomination for the presidency of the United States as the candidate of the Democratic party, and In accepting gave public expression lor tin- tlrst time of his views on the issues i f the campaign. The notification was brought to him by Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, as chain:.an of a committee representing every State and Territy in the Union. Mr. Clark, in a brief speech informed tiie candidate of his nomination and presented to him a forn al communication signed by the committee. Mr. Clark said in part: "J>. "me Parker: The most momentous political performance known anion; men is the quadrennial election of p.n American President. The suprenu executive power of S-?.oeO.OOO free people changes hands with situ plest ceremony and most perfect order. V?"hile the contest for votes is waged with earnestness and enthusiasm ? sometimes with much heat and bitterness the ready acceptance of the result by the defeated is tho surest augury of the perpetuity of our institutions. "Presidents come and Presidents go. hut ti e irreat renuhlic- freiirhteit ?itii the hopes of the human rata- for liberty ?goes on forever. All history proves that a government bottomed on popular suffrage is a government by party. Experience shows that he serves his party best who serves his country 1 est. 'Hie names most fondly cherished are those of men who devoted their time, their energies, their talents, their fortunes and their lives to the promotion of the public weal. Stronger inc entive to high and patriotic endeavor no man hath than the hope to stand thor.-iigh all the ages in that goodly company. "Out of the masterly debates and profound deliberations of the St. Lou;# convention emerged a re-united party., which goes forth conquering and to conquer. The flower of the Democracy OKcsnibled there to consult the government to the principles enunciated by 1 11o fjitbors frnm ulu.li it lor in these latter days. Every phase of r< mocratic opinion was represented' by 1 rave, honest and able champions In tb t groat conclave of free and pattinti" men. The St. Louis convention carried out no cut and dried programme. Its dogelotos wore not mere auto ntons or marionettes waving and talking when the strings were pulled by < no man. Speech and action were absolutely fr? e and the great debates which took place there will constitute part of the permanent political literature of the country. No effort was ir.aue to gag or bridle any one. If i delegate had a pot iilea which he was anxious to exrloit. he was given jiu adequate and respectful hearing before either the platform committee or the entire convention. Every man had his say. To none was opportunity denied. Out of it all grew such unity as en courages lovers of liberty ami of pure government everywhere. We enter upon the campaign with the strength which grows out of tlie union of a mighty party, with the enthusiasm born of truth, with the courage that emanates from a righteous cause, with the confidence of men animated by noble purposes and lofty patriotism. "The hope is not too extravagant for (ntertaining that in this campaign our candidates will have the support, not only of every Democrat in the land, but also of every voter, by whatever political name called, who believes that the constitution of the United States is a living reality and that it applies equally to high and low, to great and small; to public official and to private citizen. "into your hands the Democracy has committed its standard with abiding faith in your courage, your integrity, your honor, your capacity and your patriotism, believing that under your leadership we will achieve a signal victory, that your administration will he such a fortunate, such a hannv ern in our annals as to mark the beginning of a long period of Democratic ascendancy, and that you will so dischargo your duties as to rank in history as one of the greatest and best beloved of American Presidents. In accepting the nomination Judge Parker spoke as follows: JUDGE PARK ICR'S ACCEPTANCE. "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tlie Committee: "I huve resigned the office of Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, of this State, in order that I may accept the responsibility that the great convention that you represent has put upon me, without possible prejudice to the court to which I had the honor to belong. or to the eminent members of the judiciary of this State, of whom I may now say as a private citizen that I am justly proud. "At the very threshold of this response and before dealing wth other subjects, I must, in Justice to myself, R IS NOTIFIED] al Nomination Tendered ocratic Party ] and to relieve my sense of gratitude, i express my prol'uond appreciation of I the confidence reposed in me by the ! convemion. After nominating me ! and subsequently receiving a coin- , mimication declaring that 1 regarded j the gold standard as firmly and lrrej vocably established, a matter which j 1 felt it incumbent upon me to make known my attitude so that hereafter no man could justly say that his support had been secured through in- ! direction or mistake, the convention ! reiterated its determination that I I snoum uo tno standard-bearer of the party in tho present contest. This mark of trust and confidence I shall 1 over esteem as the highest honor j that could be conferred upon me?an honor that, whatever may ho the fate 1 of the campaign, the future can m ! no degree lessen or impair. A1) M11IA It LB 1? I jAT FO KM. "The admirable platform upon which the party appeals to the eoun- j try for its confidence and support I clearly states the principles which | were so well condensed in tho first ; inaugural address of President Jeflfer- | son and points out with force and di- ; I reefness tho eour.-e to be pursued through their proper application in order to insure needed reforms in 1> >th the logislat'vo and administrative departments of the government. While unhesitating in its promise to eorre.u abuses and to right wrongs when vcr they appear or however caused; to investigate tho several administrative departments of tho gov' rnmcnt, the eonduct of whoso ofllciais has created scandals, and to punish these who have been guilty of a breach of their trust; to oppose the granting of special privileges by which the few may profit at the expense of the many; to practive economy in the expenditure of tho money of tho people, and to that end to re uirn onco mor to tin1 methods of the founders of tlie republb by observing in disbursing the public funds the care anil caution a prudent individual observes in respect to bis own; still the spirit of the platform assures conservative. instead of rash action; th<* protection of the innocent, as well as the punshmmt of the guilty; the encouragement of industry, economy and thrift; the protection of property l and a guarantee of the enforcement for the bene,nt of all man's inaliena- | ble rignts, among which, as said in i | the Declaration of Independence, are | "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." liberty, as understood in this country, moans not only the right of freedom from actual servitude, imprisonment or restraint, but the right of one to use his facilities in all j lawful ways, to live aiul work where he will and to pursue any lawful trade or business. These essential 1 rights of life, liberty and property are not only guaranteed to tbo elti- j zon by the constitution of each of the several States, but the States are by the Fourteenth Vmendnient to the ; Con:;titution <.>{ th t ailed States for ! bidden to deprive any person of them without due process of law. "Occasionally, by reason of unnec- ' eKsary, or impatient agitation for re- | forms, or because the limitations placed upon the departments ?f government by the Constitution are disregarded by officials desiring to-accomplish that which to them seems gocd, whether the power exists in j them or not. it becomes desirable to I call attention to the fact that the people, in whom all power resides have seen lit to limit the powers conferred and to say to departments created bv it: "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther." To secure the ends sought , tho people have by the Constitution separated and distributed among the throe departments of government-*- | ino isixecuuvc. L'-gislative and Judi- | cial?certain powers, and it is the 1 duty of those administering each de- I partment bo to act as to preserve. ; rather than destroy, the potency of the co-ordinate branches of the government. and thus secure the cixerciso of all the powers conferred by the people. THE THREE POWERS. "Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to William 0. Jarvls, touching the perpetuity of our institutions. written many years after ho had retired to j private life, snid: 'If the three pow- j ers of our government maintain their mutual independence of each other, i it may last long, but not so if either can assume the authority of the oth! er.' It must be confessed that in the i cuursu 01 our nistory executives have ! employed powers not belonging to : them; statutes have been passed that I were expressly forbidden by the eonj stitution and statutes have been set i asido as unconstitutional when it was ' difficult to point out the provisions ! said to bo offendod against in their i enactment; all this has been done With a good purpose, no doubt, but ; in disregard, nevertheless, of the fart ; that ours is a government of laws, not of men, 'deriving its just powers from tho consent of the governed.' If we would have our government continue through tho ages to come, for the benefit of tboso who shall succeed us. we must ever be on our guard against the danger of usurpation of that authority which resides in the wholo people, whether the usurpation he by officials representing one of the three great departments of government, or by a body of men act ing wl jhout a commission from the people. IMPATIENCE AT RESTRAINT OF LAW. "Impatience of the restraints of law, as well as of its delays, is becoming more and more manifest from day to day. Within the past few years many instance^ have been brought to our attention, whore in different parts of our beloved country supposed criminals have been seized and punished by a mob, notwithstanding the fac I that the constitution of each S'.ato guarantees to every, person within its jurisdiction that his life, his liberty or his property shall not bo taken from him without due process of law. "In a struggle between employers and employes, dynamite is said to have be n used by the latter, resulting in the loss of life and the destruction of property. The perpetrators of this offense against the laws of God anil man. and all others engaged in the con- pira >* with them, should, after due trial and conviction, have had meted out to them the most rigorous punishment known to the law. This crime, added perhaps to others, led to the formation of a committee of citizens that, with the support of the military authority, doports from the State, without trial, persons suspected of belonging to the organization of ix' i'h the perpetrators of the dynamite outrages were supposed to bo members. In both ease:* the reign ef law gave way to the reign of force. Theso illustrations present some evidence of t ho failure of tho government to protect the citizen and his property, which not only justified the action of your convention in this regard, but made it its duty to call attention to tho fact that constitutional guarantees are violated whenever any citizen is denied the right to labor, to acquire, and to enjoy property, or to reside where liis? interests or inclination may determine: nrd the. fulfillment of til.' assurance to rol?iil.-e -,,,.1 punish all denials of those rights, 'vhother brought about by individuals or government agencies, should be | enforced by every olllcial and supported by every citizen. The essence of good government lies in strict observance of constitutional limitations, enforcement of law and order and rugged opposition to all encroachment upon the sovereignty of the people. "The foregoing distinctions but emphasize the distinction which exists between our own and otber forms of government. It has been well said, in substance, that there are but two I powers in government, one by the ! power of the sword, sustained by the j band that wields it. and the other I tho power of the law. sustained by an enlightened public sentiment. Tho differeneo between a republic?such as ours, based on law and a written constitution, supported by Sntelli- ! geneo, virtuo and patriotism?and a j monarchy- -sustained by force exert-: ed by an individual, uncontrolled by laws otber than those made or sanctioned by him; one represents constitutionalism. the other impcrialsm. PRIvSUNT TARIFF UNJUST. "Tito present tariff law is unjust in j its operation, excessive in many of its i rates and so framed in particular instances as to exact inordinate profits from the people. So well understood has this view become that many promi- i nent members of the Republican party, I and at least two of its State conventions. have dared to voice the general sentiment on that subject. That party seems, however, to be collectively able t > harmonize only upon a plank that admits that revision may from time to time be necessary, but it is so phased that it is expected to be satisfactory to ; those favor a reduction thereof, and j to these opposed to any change whatever. Judge by the record of performance, rather than that of promise, on the j part of that party in the past, it would 1 seem as if the outcome, in the event of i its success would be to gratify the lat- I t? r class. With absolute control of i both the legislative and executive department of the government since March 4th. 1S07. there has been neither .. ...i. mm inn mi niiempt at reduction In tariff duties, it in not unreasonable to assume, in the light of that record, that a future Congress of that party will not undertake a revision of the tariff downward in the event that it shall receive an endorsement of its past course on that subject by the peo- I pie. It is a fact and should he frankly conceded that though our party he ?nn. cessful in the coining contest we cannot hope to secure a majority in the Senate during the next four years, and hence we shall be unable to secure any modification in the tariff save that to which the Republican majority in the Senate may consent. While, therefore, we are unable to give assurance of relief to the people from such excessive duties are burden them, it is due to I them that we state our position to be in favor of a resonable reduction ?-.f the tariff; that wo bolleve it is dcmand; od bv the bost intorests of both manui facturor and consumer, and that a wise i and beneficent revision of the tariff | can be accomplished as Soon as both branches of Congress and an executive in favor of it are elected, without creI ating that sense of uncertainty and instability that has on other occasions manifested itself. This can be achieved bv providing tint such a rosona'olo ! period shall Intervene, between the date of the enactment of the statute making I a revision and the date of its enforcej ment. as shall be deemed sufficient for 1 the industry or business affected by such revision to adjust itself to the changes a" 1 new conditions imposed, j So confident am I in the belief that the i demand of the people for a reform of the tariff is just, that I indulge the hope that should a Democratic House of Representatives and a Democratie executive he chosen by the people, i even a Republican Senate may heed the warning and consent to give nt least some measure of relief to the people. THE TRUSTS. "The combinations, popularly called trusts, which aim to secure a monopoly of trade in the necessaries of life as well as in those things that are employed upon the farm, in the factory and in many other Holds of industry, have been encouraged and stimulated by excessive tariff duties. These operate to furnish a substantial market in the necessities of eighty millions of people, by practically excluding com petition. With so large a market ami highly remunerative prieos continuing long after the line of possible competition would naturally be readied, the temptation of all engaged in the same business to combine so as to prevent < mi petition at home and a resulting reduction of prices, has proved irresistible in a number of eases. All men must agree tlint the net result of enacting laws that foster audi inequitable conditions, is most unfortunate for tin people as a vliole, and it would seem a. if all ought to agree that the effective remedy would he to appropriately modify the offending law. The growth of monopoly, of which complaint is justly made, cannot he laid at the doors of the courts of this country. The decisions of th ? Supreme Court of the l.'nited States, the Court of Appeals of this State, and the courts of last r sort in many other States, warrant the assertion that the common law as developed affords a complete legal remedy against monopolies. The fai t that they have multiplied in number ami increased in power lias been due. not to the failure of the courts to apply tlie law when properly niovi d b> administrative ofllclals or private individuals, hut to the failure of oihriais charged with the duty Of enforcing the law to take tlie necessary procedure to procure the judgments of tic courts in the appropriate jurisdiction, coupled with the fact that the legislative departments of some of our State governments, as well as Congress in the manner already referred to, have, by legislation. encouraged their propagation. What is needed in addition to the passage of a statute revising the tariff duties to a reasonable basis is not so tmteh other and different laws, as otlh'ials having both the disposition and the courage to enforce existing law. While this is my view of the scope of the common law. if it should be made to appear that it is a mistaken one, then 1 favor such further legislation within constitutional limitations as will give the people a Just and full measure of protection. SKI.F-C.OVKIINMKNT FOIt FIU-' PINOS. "It is difficult to understand how any citizen of the Ftiitod St ites, much less a descendant of Ilevolutlonary stock, ran tolerate the thought of permanent-! ly denying the rigiit of self-government to the Filipinos. Can we hope to instill into the minds of our descendants reverence and devotion for a government by the people, while denying ultimately that right to the inhabitants of distant countries, whose territory we have acquired either by purchase or by force?

Our country became a world pow- j er over a century ago, when, having ! thrown off foreign domination, the peo- ! pie established a free government, the source of whose authority sprung, and j was continuously to proceed, from the j will of the people themselves. It grew as a world power as its sturdy citizens, to whose natural increase were added immigrants from the Old World seek: Ing to obtain here the liberty and prosI perity denied them in their own conn' tries, spread over the face of the land, I reduced the prairies and forests to ruli tivntion. built cities, constructed liighi ways and railroads, till now a natlt l which at the formation of the govern- ( j nient. numbered only three millions in i j population, has become eighty millions, | I and from oeean to ocean nnd the lakes to the gulf, the country Is the abode of a free and proseprous people, advanced , in the highest degree in the learning nr.d nrtR of civilizations. It is the lib- ( erty. the advancement and the pros- I perity of its citizens, not any career of 1 conquest, that make the country a world power. This condition we owe to tiie bounty of Providence, unfolded in the great natural resources of tlio country, to the wisdom of our fathers manifested by them, to the energy, industry, moral character and law-abiding spirit of the people themselves. "We are not a military people, bent on conquest, or engaged in extending our domains in foreign lands, or desirous of securing natural advantages, however great, by force; but a people loving peace, not only for ourselves, but for all the nations of the earth.
