LETTER ACCEPTING THE REPUB-LICAN

Harrison’s Letter of Acceptance.
Indianapolis, September ii.—The
following is General Harrison’s letter
accepting the republican presidential
nomination:
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 11, 1888.
Hon. M. M. Estes and others,‘committee elect:
Gentlemen:—When your committee
visited me in July last and presented an
official notice of my nomination for the
presidency of the United States by the
republican convention.I promised as soon
as practicable to communicate'to you a
more formal acceptance of the nomina-tion.
Since that *ime the work of re-ceiving
and addressing, almost daily,
large delegations of my fellow-citizens has
not only occupied all of my time, but has
in some measure renderedjit unnecessary
for me to use this letter as a medium of
communicating to the public
my views upon the questions involved in
the campaign. I appreciate very highly
the confidence and respect manifested
by the convention, and accept the nom-ination
with a feeling of gratitude and a
full sense of the responsibilities which
accompany it. It is a matter of congrat-ulation
that the declaration of the Chi-cago
convention upon the questions that
now attract an interest over the people
are now so clear and emphatic. There
is further cause of congratulation in the
fact that the convention utterances of
the democratic party, if in any degree
uncertain or contradictory, can now be
juoged and interpreted by the executive
acts and messages, and by a definite
proposition in legislation. This is espe-cially
true of what is popularly known as
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
THe issue cannot now be observed. It
is not a contest between schedules, but
between wide-apart principles. Foreign
competitors for our market have, with
quick instinct, seen how one issue of this
contest may bring them an advantage,
and our people are not so dull as to miss
or neglect the grave interests that are
involved for them. The assault upon the
protective system is open and defiant.
Protection is assailed as unconstitutional
in the law, or as vicious in principle, and
those who hold such views sincerely can-not
stop shdrt of an absolute elimina-tion
from our tariff laws of the principle
of protection. The Mills bill is only a
step, but it is toward an object
that the leaders of democratic thought
and legislation have clearly in mind.
The important question is not so much
the length of the step as the direction of
it. Judged by the executive message of
December last, by the Mills bill, by the
debates in congress and by the St. Louis
platform, the democratic party will, if
supported by the country, place the tariff
laws upon a purely revenue basis. This
is practical free trade; free trade in the
English sense. The legend upon the
banner may not be “free trade.” it may
be a more obscure motto, “tariffreform,”
but neither the banner nor the inscription
is conclusive or, indeed, very important.
The assault itself is the important fact.
Those who teach that the import duty
upon toreign goods sold in our market
is paid by the consumer and that the
price of the domestic competing article
is enhanced to the amount of the duty
on an imported article; that every mill-ion
dollars collected tor custom duties
represents that many millions more
which do not reach the treasury,
but are paid by purchasers.
The increased cost of the domestic pro-duction
is the result of tariff laws. May
not instead of trying to discredit it in
the minds of others our system of levy-ing
duties on competing foreign pro-ducts,
but it is clearly discredited in
their own. We cannot doubt without
impugning their integrity that if free
trade is to follow their convictions they
would so revise our laws as to lay the
burden on the cost of articles that are
not produced in this country, and to
place upon the free list all others. I do
not refute the theory as to the effect of
our tariff duties. Those who ad-vance
it are students of max-ims
and not of the markets.
They may be safely allowed to call their
project “tariff reform,” if people under-stand
that in the end there will be free
trade in all competing products. This
end may not be reached abruptly, and
its appioach may be accompanied with
some expressions of sympathy for bur
protected industies and our working
people, but it will certainly come if
these early steps do not arouse the peo-pie
to effective resistance The republi-can
party holds that a pro-tective
tariff is constitutional,
wholesome and necessary. We do
