-.- P P anes GENERAL HARRISON'S LETTER, . In striking contrast with the egotisti- cal, verbose and fallacious letter of accept- ance written by the great \I am \ of the Democratic party, stands forth the calm, terse and logical declaration of principles made by Cteneral Harrison, the accepted - standard bearer of the Republican party. It is sincere and to the point, and mary of its sententions and forcible utter- ances will pass as aphorisms into national political literature. Beginning with the tariff issue, which forms the pieco de resistance of the cam- paign, General Harrison strikes the nail on the head by remarking. \It is not a contest between schedules, but between wide apart principles,\ \ Protection,\ he says,\ \is assailed as unconstitu tional in law, or as vicious in princi- ple, and those who hold such views sincerely cannot stop short of an absolute elimination from our tariff laws of the principle of protection. \\The Mills bill,\ remarks this far-seeing statesman, \is only a step towards placing the tariff laws upon a revenue basis, which is prac- tically free trade in the English sense of the term.\ He scatters to the winds the doctrines of the theorists, that the import duty upon foreign goods sold in our mar- ket is paid by the consumer. \Those who advance such theories,\ he says, \ are students of maxims, and not of the markets.\ General Harrison clearly demonstrates that a protective tariff is constitutional, wholesome and necessary. ''We do not offer,\ he remarks, schedule, bit a principle.\ His war-cry is \an Ameri- can market for American producers.\ ''Our workingmen he holds, have the settlement of the question in their own hands. They now obtain higher wages and live more comfortably that those of any other country. They will make choice between the substantial advantages they have in hand and the deceptive promises and forecasts of these theorizing rgform- ers. Upon the question of internal taxes the Republican candidate utters these perti- nant words: \A proper reduction of the revenue does not necessitate and should not sug- gest the abandonment or impairment of ~ the protective system.\ The methods sug- gested by our convention will not need to be exhausted in order to effect the neces- sary reduction.\ \*Purchase bonds with the surplus,\ is the advice given by the General.

Taken altogether, the letter is a guar- antee of: trength, which shows its writer to be a leadér in whose patriotic hands the reins of government may be with safety placed. Veterans of the late war have no spe- cial reason to offer up prayers for the re- turn of the Cleveland family to power. Indifference to the interests of the men who saved the Union is not exclusively an idiosyncrasy of His Serene Excel- lency, the President, with the substitute attached. When the 117th Regiment of New York State Volunteers held their reunion at Holland Patent recently, the only house in the hamlet which showed no sign either in the matter of decoration or decent acknowledgement was that in- habited by the Pregident's accomplished, but possibly Anglo-Saxon loving sister, Miss Rose.
