I wish here, however, again to refer to my views there expressed as to the gold standard, to declare again my un qualified belief in said standard, and to express my appreciation of the ac tion of the convention in reply to my comunication upon that subject. Grave public questions are pressing for decision. The Democratic party appeals to the people with confidence that its position on these questions will be accepted and endorsed at the polls. While the issues involved are numerous, some stand forth pre-emin ent in the public mind. Amor 3 these are: Tariff reform, imperialism, econo mical administration and honesty in the public service. I shall briefly con sider these and some others within the necessarily prescribed limits of this letter. '. IMPERIALISM.

On the chance of finding an oppor- -• . tunity to use some of his surplus mon ey, Frederick Clayton came to Wauke sha ftxtm his home at Ellsworth, Neb., and unexpectedly met a brother whom he had not seen in twenty-seven years. The two met on the street. Frederick came to this country in search of farming lands, thinking to invest in a large tract.

While I presented my views at the notification proceedings concerning this vital issue the overshadowing im portance of this question impels me to refer to it again. The issue is often times referred to as Constitutional vs. Imperialism. If we would retain our liberties and constitutional rights unimpaired, we cannot permit or tolerate, at any time or for any purpose, the arrogation of unconstitutional powers by the execu tive branch of our government. We should be ever mindful of the words of Webster, “Liberty is only to be pre served by maintaining constitutional restraints and a just view of political powers.” Already the national government has become centralized beyond any point contemplated or imagined- by the founders of the constitution. How tre mendously all this "has added to the power of the President! It has de veloped from year to year until it al most equals that of many monarchs. While the growth of our country and the magnitude of inter-State interests may seem to furnish a plausible reason for this centralization of power, yet these same facts afford the most po tent reason why the Executive shall not be permitted to encroach upon the other Departments of the government, and assume legislative, or other now- sssly conferred by the con- and 53 years k Peterson, Secre- Teonis Club, Chi nee advises all have pains and to their sex, to Pinkham’s Vege- beautiful young girls de ls and hoi . listless and hopelt y because sufficient atten- sen paid to their physical development.

Whether there is any common law which can be applied and enforced by the Federal Courts, cannot be deter mined by the President, or by a candi date for the presidency. RECIPROCY. In my address to the notification committee I s&Id that tariff reform “is demanded by the best interests of both manufacturer and consumer.” , With equal troth it can be said that' the benefits of reciprocal trade treaties would enure to both. That the con sumer would be helped is unqest ion- able. That the manufacturer would receive great benefit by extending his markets abroad hardly needs demon stration. His productive capacity has outgrown the home market. The very term "home market” has changed in its significance. Once, from the manufac turers’ point of view, it meant expan sion; today the marvelous growth of our manufacturing industries has far exceeded the consumptive capacity of our domestic markets, and the term “home market” implies contraction rather than expansion. If we would run our mills to their full capacity, thus giving steady employment to out workmen and securing to them and to the manufacturer the profits accruing from increased production, other mark ets must be found. Furthermore, w’hen our manufacturers are depend ent oil raw materials in whole or part imported, it is vital to the extension or' their markets abroad that they se cure their materials on the most fav orable terms. The persistent refusal of the Repub lican majority in the Federal Senate to ratify the reciprocity treaties ne gotiated within the prescribed limita tion of two years, in pursuance of the policy advocated alike by Mr. Blaine and Mr. McKinley, and expressly sanc tioned in the Dingley act itself, is a discouraging exhibition of bad faith. As already mentioned by me, the ex orbitant duty imposed on many an imported article by the Dingley tariff was avowedly intended by its author not to be permanent, but to serve tem porarily as a maximum, from which the Federal government was empowered to offer a reduction, in return for an equivalent concession on the part of a foreign country. President McKinley undertook honestly to carry out the purpose of the act. A number of. re ciprocity agreements w r ere negotiated which, If ratified, would have had the two-fold result of cheapening many: Imported products for American con. Burners, and of opening and enlarging foreign markets to American produo ers. Not one ertttose Agreements na& met with he approval of the Repub lican masters of the Senate. Indeed they did not even permit tneir consid-i eration. In view of the attitude of the present Executive no new agreement under the general treaty powers need be expected from him. Nor does the Republican platform contain a favor able reference to one of the suspend ed treaties. This section of the Ding ley act stands forth as a monument of legislative cozenage and political bad faith. HERRICK THf MAN MUSTER OUT MILITIA COMPANY DOOM OF GREAT 8ALT LAKE. INDEPENDENCE FOR THE FILIP PINOS. ers, not expressly stitution. The magnitude of the country and its diversity of interests and population enable a determined, ambitious and able Executive, unmindful of constitu tional limitations and fired with the lust of power, to go far in the usur pation of authority and the aggandize- ment of personal power before the situ ation could be fully appreciated or the people be aroused. The Issue of imperialism which has been thrust upon the country Involves a decision whether tne law of the land or the rule of Individual caprice shall govern. The principle of imper ialism may give rise to brilliant, start ling, dashing results, but the princi ple of Democracy holds in check the brilliant Executive and subjects him to the sober, conservative control of the people. The people of the United States stand at the parting of the ways. Shall we follow the footsteps of our fathers along the paths of peace, prosperity and contentment, guided by the ever- living spirit of the constitution which th^y framed for us, or shall we ge along other and untried paths, hltfifer- to shunned by all, following blindly new Ideals, which, though appealing with brilliancy to the imagination and ambition, may prove a will o’ the wisp, leading us into difficulties from whicn it may be impossible to extricate our selves without lasting injury to our national character and constitutions? In some quarters it has been assum ed that in the discusion of the Philip pine question in my response, the phrase “self-government,’’ was intend-- ed to mean something less than inde pendence. It was not intended that it should be understood to mean, nor did I think as used it does mean less than indepnedence. However, to eli minate all possibility for conjecture. I now state that I am in hearty accord wrth that plank In our platform that favors doing for the Filipinos what we have already done for the Cubans; and I favor making the promise to them now that we shall take such ac tion as soon as they are reasonably prepared for It.

Montgomery, Ala., Special.—Govern or Cunningham Monday received the report of the military court of inquiry appointed to investigate the conduct of Company F, Alabama National Guard, which was overpowered by the mob at Huntsville, Ala., that lynched Horace Maples, a negro. The report, which is signed by Col. T. S. Fraser, Captain E. D. Smith and I Captain W. F. Vaiden, recommends 1 that Company F be mustered out for inefficiency and that in the future all officers be required to pass an exami nation on the State military law before receiving commissions. October 14 was the date fixed for the mustering out of the command. The court found that Captain R. L, Hay had no definite plan of action, and that most Of the men had no load in their guns, though plenty of ammuni tion was to be had; also that one sen tinel was overpowered and badly hurt by the mob. It was also found that members of the military company were cursed and assaulted by the rriob after fire was set to the jail ahd that they lost their mili tary identity in the crowds. It was further found that the^attack on the jail found the military sitting around on the steps and curbstones eating supper, also that on the night of the mob there wels an entire lack of concerted effort or plans for the protec tion of the jail or prison. The report concludes by saying: “The combined shortcomings of the military allowed a life to be taken un lawfully by a mob under circumstances which justify us in concluding that the game could have been prevented, thereby reflecting serious discredit upon the military called into the ser vice.” Scientists Say It Will Dry Up Within Half a Century. Statistics indicate that Great Salt lake, the Dead sea of America, Is doomed—that it is gradually drying up. The opinion now almost universal ly prevails among scientists ttiat this mysterious body of water, located at an altitude of 4,210 feet above the sea level and 1,000 miles Inland, and which has but a single rival, the Dea<f sea of Palestine, is certain within the course of a half century to disappear from the map. Some scientists, who have made a careful study of the fluc tuations of the lake for the past sever al years, even declare that it will be dried up within a quarter of a cen tury. Sixteen years ago, in 1886, the area of the lake’s surface was estimated at about 2,700 square miles. Taking twenty feet as the average depth at that time, one may estimate 1,605,- 438,600,000 cubic feet as the contents of the lake. To-day, according to re cent surveys, the lake has an area of about 2,125 square miles. Multiplying this number by 11 Vi, the number of feet In depth of the water that has dis appeared and not been replaced, gives 669,778,400,000 cubic feet as the quan tity of water less than what the lake had sixteen years ago. Observers of the lake have assigned three causes for the shrinkage of its water. They are evaporation, irriga tion and a subterranean outlet that some suppose to exist. There are ar dent advocates of each of these theor ies. " t Rear Admiral Hichbora Recommends Pe-ru-na !?<• i . Dynamite on Track Kills 9.

Box H Atlanta.) Tariff reform is one of ,the cardinal principles of the Democratic fajith, and the necessity for it was never greater than at the present time. It should be undertaken at once in the interest of all our people. . The Dingley tariff is excessive in many of its rates, and, as to them at least, unjustly and oppressively bur dens the people. It secures to domes tic manufacturers,.singly or in combi nation, the privilege of exacting ex cessive prices at home and prices far above the level of sales made regular ly by them abroad with profit, thus giving a bounty to -foreigners at the expense of our own people. Its un just taxation burdens the people gen erally, forcing them to pay excessive prices for food, fuel, clothing and other necessaries of life. It levies duties on many articles not normally imported in any considerable amount, which are made extensively at home, for which the most extreme protectionist would hardly justify protective taxes, ahd which In large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will con tinue to be direct incentive to the for mation of huge industrial combina tions, which secure from foreign com petition, are enabled to stifle domestic competition and practically to monopo lise home market. ceiving it will tend to stimulate rather than hinder their development. And this should be done not only in justice to the Filipinos, but to preserve our own rights; for a free people cannot withhold freedom from another people and themselves remain free. * The tol eration of tyranny over others will soon breed contempt for freedom and self-government, and weaken our pow er of resistance to insidious usurpa tion of our constitutional rights. Paragraphs touching upon, the Pan ama question, American shipping, army and navy, pensions, and foreign rela* tlons go fully into these subjects. CONCLUSION. I have put aside a congenial work, to which I had expected to devote my life, in order to assume, as best I can, the responsibilities your convention put put upon me. I solicit the cordial co-operation and generous assistance of every man who believes that a change of measures and of men at this time would be wise, and urge harmony of endeavor as well as vigorous action on the part of all so minded. The issues are joined and the people must render the verdict. Shall ^economy of administration be demanded or shall extravagance be en couraged? Shall the wrongdoer be brought to- bay by the people, or must justice wait upon political oligarchy? Shall our government stand for equal opportunity or for special privilege? Shall It remain a government of law or become one of Individual caprice? Shall we cling to the rule of the peo ple, or shall we embrace beneficent des potism. With calmness and confidence, we await the people’s verdict. If called to the office of President, I shall consider myself the chief magis trate of all the people and not of any jfaction, and shall ever be mindful of jthe fact that on many questions of na tional policy there are honest differen ces of opinion. I believe in the patriot ism, good sense and absolute sincerity of all the people. I shall strive to re member that he may serve his party best who serves his country best. If it be the wish of the people that I undertake the duties of the presidency, I pledge myself, with God’s help, to de vote all my powers and enei^y to the •luties of this exalted office.
