0\ ^ ' Hi ! Vj 4 $ \ WWI BENJAMIN HARBISCW. The foll o wing is in sn bstanc a President Harrisoa ' s letter accep ting the Republican nomination for the office ot President of th« Unite d States: \ Washisgtoit , D. d , Sept. 3 , 1893. ••Hon. Wiliia m McKinlej, Jr., and Others- C omm i ttee , 'I£te. \Gen tlemen—I now avail myself of tha first period of relief from public dnti as to respond to tie notification which yon brought to me on Jane 30 . o f my nomination for the office of President of the Unite i States by the Republican National Conven- tion , rec ent l y held at Minneapolis. I accept the nominat ion , ani am grateful for the ap- proval expressed br tha convention of ths acts of the administration. \T he great work of the Kfty-firet Con- gress has been subjected to the revision of a Democratic Hons e of Rapresentatives , and the acts o f the Executive Department to its scrut iny ani investigation. There has sel- dom been a time . I think , when a c h ang a from the declared policies of the Republican to the declared policies of the Democratic Part y involved such serious results to the business interests of the c o untry. \ Here Mr. Harrison writes at length on the currency question. He continues: HUNTS KERB, He Formall y Accepts the Se pu blican Nomination. The Pri u ciDles and Policy of Hi Party Endorsed , \F ew subjects have elicited more dis- cu ssion or excited more general interest than that of a recovery by the United States o f its appropriat e share of the ocean-carry ing trade. This subject; touches not on ly our pocfcets , out our N ational pride. The great ships—the fastest upon the sea—whic h are now in peace profiting by ou r tr& l e , are , in a secondary sense , war sh ips of their respective Governments. \It was p la in to every intelligent Ameri- can that if the United States would have Ea ch lines , a sim ilar policy- must b a entered upon. The Fi fty-first Congress enacted such a law; and , u nder its beneficent influence , s ixteen American steamships , of an a ggre- gate tonnage of a i . 40 3 tons , and costing $7 , 400 , 000 have be e n b uilt , or contracte d to be bniit , in American shi pyards. \In a ddition to this it is now practically certain that we shall soon have under the American flas: one of the finest steamship lines sail ing out of Hew York for any Euro pean port. This contract will result in the oonstructicj in American yar J s of four new passenger steamshi ps of 10 , 009 tons each , costing about $S , 000 , 00 3 , ani w i ll a d d to our Naval Reserve six steamsh i ps , the fastest n pon the sea. •The Democratic Party has found no place in its p la tform for any referenc a to this subje ct , an d has shown its hostility to the general pol icy by refusing to expend an appro priation made during the last admin- i stration for ocean mail contracts with Ameri can lines. On t he snbject of reciprocity President Harrison wri te : \An other related measure , a s f urn i shing an increased ocean traffic for our shi ps , and o f- great and permanent benefit to the far- mers and manufacturers as well , is the re- ci procity policv declared by Section 3 of the Tariff act of 1S99 and now in practical opera- tion with five of the Nations of Central and South America , San Domingo the Spanish and British West India Islands , and with Germany and Austria , un d er s pe cia l trade arrangements with each. \The rem oval of the duty on sugar and the continuan ce ot coffee and tea upon the free list * while g iving great reiet to o n r own peopl* by c h eapening articles used in- creasing ly in every household , was also of such enormous advantage to the countries ex porting, these articles, as to su gg est that in consi deration thereof reciprocal favors should be shown in their tariffs to articles exporte d by us to their markets. \Great credit is due to Mr. Blaine for the ¦rigor with which he pressed this view upon t he country. We have only be ^ ua to realiz 3 the benefit of the se trade arrangements. Toe •work o f creating new agenciesandof adapt- ing our goods to new markets has necessarily taken t i me , but the results alread y attained are such , I a m sure , as to establish in popular favor the policy of reciprocal traie , base d upon the fres importation of such articles as d o not injuriously compete with the products of our own farms , m i nes o r f a ctcr i es , in exchange for the free or favored intro duction of our products into other countries. \The obvious efficacy of this policy in in- creasma; the forei gn trade of the United St ates at once attracted the alarmei atten- tion of European trade journals and boards of trade. The British Board of Trade has presen ted to that Government a memorial asking for the appointment of a commission to consider the best means of counteracting -what is called ' the commercial crusade of file United States. ' \T he Democratic platform promises a re- peal of the tariff law containing this pro- vision, and denounces asa ' sham reci procity ' that section of the Jaw under which these trade arrangem ents have been made. If no other issue were involved in the campai gn this alone would gi ve it momentous import* anca. \The declaration of the platform in favor of 'T he American Doctrine of Protection * m eets my most hearty ap- proval. The convention did not adopt a schedule , but a princi ple that is to control all tariff s c hedules. There may be differ- ences of op inion among protectionists as to the rate u pon particular articles necessary to effect an equalization between wages abroad and at home. \Once or twice in our history the produc- tion of tin plate ha d been attempted , and t ies prices obtained by the Welsh makers •would have enabled our makers to produce it at a profit . But the Welsh makers at onca cut prices to a point that drove the American beg inners out of the business; and. \when thi s was accomplished , again toads then* own prices. \But in spite of the doubts raised by the elec tions of 1690 and sf tils machinations of fore i gn producers to maintain then- mono- poly, the tin plate industry has been estab- lished i n t h e Unite d States , and tbe allianc s betwe en the Welsh p ro d ucers an d the Demo- cratic Party for its destruction wi ll nots u c- ceed. \T his tariff law has g iven emplom m fe to many thousands of An w ric an men an d women , and wiU each year give em- ployment to increasing thousands Its repeal would throw t housands out of emp loyment and give work to others only at reduced wages. I re a xefc that a l l emp loyers of labor are not just and con- siderate and that capital som 3 tim9s takes too large a share ot the profits. But I do not see that thes e evils will b a ameliorate! by a tariff policy, the first n e c e ssar y e ffe ct of which is a severe wage cut , anithes s eond a large diminution of tha aggregate amount ox wor k to be dona in this country. \No inte l ligent advocate of a protec- tive tariff cl aims that it is able , of itself , to maintain a uniform * rat e ot wages , without regard to fluctuations in tbe supply of and demand for ' t he products of labor. But it is confidentlv c laimed that protective duties strong ly teak to hold up wages , and are the onlv barrier again st a reduction to the European soil\ \ In regar d to the Federal Election biil Mr. Harrison s ays: In my last a nni ^i ny ss a ^a to Con g ress I sai d : \ 3 \We must yet enterta in the hops tasfe it is possible to secure a calm , patriotic c o u s tder- atao o of suc h Constitutional or statutory changes as may be nec sss ary to secure the choic e of the offi c ers of the Government to tbe peo p le by fa ir a pp o rt i onm e nts and free elections. I believe it would be DO=sibl e to constitute s coin- THE LABOR W0BLD mission , non-partisan in its mem- hers ' ai p and c o mposed of patriotic , wise and impartial men , to whom a consideration of the questions of the evils connecte d with, our election systems and methods mi ght be com- mitted with a good prospect of seenring unanim ity in some plan for removing or m itigating those evils. The Const itution would permit the selec- tion of the commission to b a vested hi the Supreme Court if that; method would give t he best guaranty of impartiality. This com- mission shoul d be charged with the duty of inquirin g into the whole subject of the law o f elections as related to the choice of officers of the National Gov ernment , with a view to securing to every elector a free and un- molested exercise of the suffrage and as near an approach to an equ alit y of va ' .u ^ in each ba llot east as is attainabla * * * Th e demand that the limitations -of suffrage shall b a found i u th9 law , an d only there , is a just demand , and no just man should re- sent or resist it i t seems to me that an app s al to our peo- p le to consider the question of readjusting our le gislation upon absolutely fair nonpar- tisan lines might find some effective re- sponse. Many times I have had occasion to say that laws aud election methods desi gned to g ive un fair advantages to the party mak- in g them would some time be use! to p a r- p a t u ate in pore-era faction of a party against the will of a majority o£ the peo ple. Of tills we seem to have an illustration in the recent State election in Alabama. There w as no Republican ticket in the field. The contest was between white Democrats. The Kolb party say th ey were refused the repre- sentation guarant a ed by law upon the elec- tion boards , and t hat when th 9 courts by mandamus attempted to right this wrong, an appea l that could not b 3 heard until after election made the writs ineff e ctual. Billot boxes were thrown out for alleged irregu- lar ities or destroyed , and it is asserted ox behalf ot one-half , at least , of ths whit e voters o f Alabama that theofuc a rs to whom certificates have been given were not honestl y elected. T here is no security for the personal or po- litica lrights of any man hi a community where any ot her man is deprive! of his per- sonal or political rights. The power of the States over the question of the qualification o f electors is ample to protect them against the dan gers of an ignorant or depraved suf- fra g e , and the demand that every man found to be qualified under the law shall be made secure in tbe rights to cast a free ballot ana to have t hat ballot honestly counted cannot be a bated. Our old Republican battle-cry, \A free ballot and a fa i r c o unt , \ comes back to us not only from Alabama but from other States , and from men who , differing w i th us wi d e l y i n o pi nions , have c ome to see that parties and polit- ical debate are but a mockery if , when the debate is eude i , tha jud g ment of honest majorities is to be reversed by ballot- box frauds and tally-sheet manipulations in the interest of ths party or party faction in power. These new polit ical movements in the States and the recent decisions of som e of the State courts against unfair apportion- ment l aws , encourage the hope that the ar bitrary and partisan election l aws and practices which have prevaile d may D 9 cor- rected by the States , the laws made equal an d non-partisan , ani the elections free ani honest. T he Republican Party would rejoic a al e uch a solution , as a healthy and p atriotic local s entiment is the best assuranc e of free and honest elections. I shall again urge upon Congress tbat provision be made for the appointment of a non-partisan commission to consider the subject of apportionments and elections , in t heir relation to the choice of Federal ofli cers. In conclusion the Pr e s ide nt rem a r k s: \It is not possible for me to refer , even iu the brief est way, to m any of the topics presented in the resolutions adop ted by ths convention. U pon all that have not been discussed I have before publicly expressed my views. \A change in the personnel of a National administration i s of comparativ 3 iy Jittl a moment. If those exerci sing public func- t ions are able , honest , diligent and faithful , others possessing all these qualities may be foun d to take iheir place?. Bat the changes in the laws and in administrative policies are of great moment . When public affairs have been g iven a direction and business has adjusted itself to those lines , any sudden change in- volves a sto ppage and new business adjust- ments. If the change of direction is so rad- ical as to bring the commercial turn-table into use the business changes involve are not rea dj ustments , but reconstructions. \fhe Democratic Party offers a pro- gramme of demolition. Tha protective policy—to which all business , even that oE the importer , is now adjusted—the reciproc- ity policy, the new merchant marine , are all to be demolished , not gradually, not taken down , but biown up. To this programme ot destruction it has added one consfcrastivd f eature , the re-esta blishment of State banks of issue. \Tne policy of the Republican Party is. on the other han d, distinctively a policy of saf e progression and development—of new factories , new mar ke ts an d ' new shi ps. It will subject business to no perilous changes , but offers attractive op portunities for expan/ sion upon familiar lines. Very resp s cfully vonrs.

John Greenleaf Whittier , the poet , died at Ham pton Falls , N. H ., at 4 : 30 o ' clock a few morn ings ago. He had been -unconscious at intervals sinc e the first serious symptoms of his illness developed , b ut at the l ast moment was apparent ly conscious of his surround- ings. Whittier ' s last conscious utteranc a was one of recognition of his niece , Mrs. Samuel L. Pic kard. who lived with him for some years previ ous to her marriage. Mrs. Pick- ard asked him whether he knew her , and he rep lie d : \Yes , I hav e known you all the time , \ and immediately lapsed into uncon- sc iousness . His end wa s painless and peace- f v\ Upon the announcement o£ the death of Whitti er , the bells of Amesbury, Mass., were tolled eighty- four strokes , the a g e of the p oet in years , an d the flags on the pub- lie buildings were placed at half-mast.

JOBS &EEENLEAF WHITTIEE The Good Quaker Poet Peace fully Passes Away. A Sketch o f His Brilliant Lit er ary Career. His Career . John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Haverhill , Mass . , D s c s m be r 17 , 1 807. His Barents were members of the Society of Frien ds , and the p oet himsel f always con- f ormed to the customs and usages of that se c t , even to it s peculiarities of speech and dress. He spent his earlier years upon his fat her ' s f arm , and his first occupations were those of a farmer ' s boy, tending the cows and assisting in t he li ghter labors of h aying and harvest. It was thus that he was early brought in- to touch wit h nature, his intimate acquaint- ance and knowledge of whose charms gives suc h a picturesque beauty to many of his o oems. They reflect the country s c s nery of & ew Eng land with a fidelity that has never been equalled. His early schooling was of the scantiest kind , for it was only in the winter months th at he had the opportunity of attending tho nei ghboring district school . Later on he learned the shoemaker ' s tra d e , and by tbis m e ans he e arne d enough to ena bl e h i m t o atten d the Haverhill Academy during six month s in 1827. H e was then able to teach school himself , thus o btaining the means of continuing his course at t he academy another year. Dur- ing al l this time he was a regular contrib- utor to t he \Poet' s Corner , \ in the Fres Press , a paper edited by William Lloyd Garrison , at New buryport , Mass., for his literary tastes ha d begun to develop when he was still a boy. Garrison saw signs of promise in ths young man , and their association at this time led to tbe life-long friendship which existed between them and brought them closel y together . After his father ' s death Whittier carried on the farm for five years until 1835 , during which time he was an industrious writer and contributed verses to many periodicals. He w as also in turn editor of tho American Manufacturer , o f Boston , the Haverhill G azette and the New England Weekly Us- v i ew , of Hartford , Conn. £ In 1836 he removed to Philadelphia , where he e dited the Pennsylvania Freeman until the office of that paper was sacked and burned by a mob. In 1840 he returned to New Eng land and took up his abode in Aniesbury, ¦where he lived a quiet and simple life. Durin g his seclusion Whittier has never been idle. His first volume in prose and verse , \LM r ends of Kew Eng land , \ was pub- lished in 1831 , and since that time collections of his writings have appeared almost every year. The last edition of his poetical and prose works was published in 1SS9 in seven volum es. Among his best known works are \Lays o£ My Home and Other Poems , \ published in 1843; \Old Portraits and Modern Sketches , \ 1850 ; \Horn© Ballads and Poems , \ 1850 ; \Snow B ound , \ 18 62 ; \In War Time an d Other PoeniF , \ 186 3 ; \The Tent on the Beac h , \ 156 7 ; \Amon? the Hil i s , \ 1868; -'H af si Blossom? , \ 1874; ' \T he V ision o£ Echard , \ \The King ' s Missive , \ \Bay of Seven Islan ds \ and \Po s ms of Nature , \ all published withiu the past dozen years. D isreRard of a Danger Signal by the En gineer the Cause. T hree men were instantly killed and two others injur ed by an accident to the morn- ing newspaper train on the Hudson River division of the New York Central and Hud- son River Railroad at New Hamburg, F . Y., at 6 ; 15 o ' clock a few mornings ago. The fatal accident was said to have been due to the carelessness of the en g ineer , who disregarded a danger signal and tried to run his train over an open drawbridge. The en- gineer was one of the three who were killed outri g ht. H is fireman and a postal clerk were the others. Of the sixteen men on the train , eleven escaped with a severe shaking. At New Ham burg, the Hudson River division of the Central , crosses N app in j er ' s Creek on a short bridge which spans about twenty-five of water . The brid ge is a swing draw . The draw had been opened for the passa g e o f a sm all s t eam b oat , and had been nearly closed again when the train dashed on the bridge at the rate of a mile a minute. The eng ine bounded over the spac a b a - tween the southern section of the bridge and the draw and hung from the middle por- tion , with t he tender han g ing over the water. Only the strength of the couplings pre- vente d the rest of the train from p lung ing down into the creek. But the mail car was hurled on top of the tender and badly smashed. Eng i neer Owens , F iremen Beck and John 3. King, one of the postal clerks , were inst antl y kille i . Con ductor Toid , Chief Postal Clerk T oomey ani Brakeman O'i tf eil were badly bruised. The other men escaped with slight hurts. Much o f the mail matter was destroyed. The engine , tender and mail car were en- tirely wrecked.

A nnm- ber of soldiers were bileted at the farm- house. E ight oE them were killed and their bo dies cremated. The express train betweeu Stuttgart au d Esslingen , Germany, s s ven miles from Stuttgart , collided with a freight train from U J m an d six passengers were killed. M .

A Soldier Murdere d by His Comrade Because o f Jealousy. A horrible murder has been committed at t he Schuvalovo Barracks , St. Petersburg, Russia. The murderer was a bands- man of t he Imperial Guard who was actuated Yby jealousy of a comra de. The mu ' ruerer stole up behind his vict im while the latter was at mess and dealt the unfortunate man a terrific blow w ith a sabre , which completely beheaded him , Ijjs hea d failin g i a p his plate , A DARING ADYENTURE B Captain William A. Andrews , alread y famous for his daring adventures in small boats on the stormy Atlantic , has again set sail on a novel an d interesting voyage. He crossed the ocean twice before , first in the \Naut ilus , \ w h en h e was accompan i e d b y his brother , who has since died , and again in the \Merm aid , \ both of these tri ps being made to Land' s End , Eng land. A f«w years ago he again attempted the pas- sago in a boat called the \Dark Secret , \ but , after battlin g with contrary winds , hi gh seas and terrific storm? , he reluctantl y consente d to give up his efforts aEter a struggle of sixty-two days , an d returne d t o America on a bark which kindly consented to take him and his sea- beaten boat back to New Yor k. The captain is a very inter esting charac- ter . He is a man of fixed purposes , vary h ard to turn from the object he has in view. He has made the sub ject of small boat sail- ing such a stu dy tbat he is prepared to meet every argument against the risks which spring to the minds of his critics , yet the New York Herald put the case in a nut- shell when it s ai d : \The fact that Ca pt. Andrews can cross tho ocsau in a oockle shell merely proves that small boats are saf u when a Capt. Andrews sails them. Ama- teurs should remem ber this when the wind be gins to sin?;. \ The Capt ain hlmselE says that \half the peopl e who are drowned lose their lives be- caus e they do not realize that a boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might , or a shi p loaded with a heavy car g o , but a row boat , sail boat or or d inary wooJen vessel m a y ca p size , but will , neverthel ess , float. The passengara on the great oce an steamers run some risk when they go to sea , bufcall aro und the deck they se e wooden floats hung up on which they are taug ht to depend for their lives i( the big steamer goes down. These boats arc often crushed against the great vessel or are ca psized in lowering. I am alone in a wooden boat entirely under my own con- tro l , and , in my o pinion , f ar safer th a n ot hers. \ An ingenious theory but hardl y a fair one. Ca pt. Andrews is by trade a p iano nip aer. He built the \S apolio \ at Atlantic City in t he preseuc a of -hundreds of peop le , ani ex- hibited it on the Loug Pier for several weeks. It i a a n anvas folding boat lined ^ wm&ms ^ ' ' with hal f inch ceclar and dec ked over with the same. In order to fold it there must be three long canvas hinges from stem to stern , an d the dnring Captain writes by an incom- ing shi p (w hen he is hundrods oE miles from sh ore) that he flucls the \ 'Sa polio ' in a sea- way is a scrub ber but very leaky. \ No bet- tor proof of his coolness and p luck could be g iven . The start was made at 4:30 Wednesday, Ju l y 20th , the des tinati o n being Palos , S p ain. Captain Andrews has instructions to scour the seas until he discovers that port and the starting poiut of Columbus. It is believed that, sa iling in a fourteen foot boat without so much as a hot cup of coff ae to vary his diet of. biscuits and canu9:l goods , he will , sing le-ban led , oclips a tha record of that S panish-Italian adventurer who almost f aile 1 to cross the great ocj an with three shi ps , 153 mea , a fter securing the Queen ' s jew e ls to pawn au d hav i n g t he ble s sing ot th e Church thrown iu. This Columbus is sa iling in a boab which had never been in the w ater until th a hour when he started on his 4000 miie trip. Ha has bean spoken in mi d-ocean saveral tinus , scorn ing all assistance and confident of ultimata success. H is effort should interest all Americans as a te st of pluck , endurance and good sea- manshi p. That i fcis noD a foolhardy affair is proved by h is former success and by tha notable tri p in which h a b i ttM for sixty- tw o d ays w i t h out rea ch i n ? the other si Is. Th o usan d s of peop le saw tha start , his presen ce at different points on the ooaau has been noted by large numbers of vessels , and his landing on the other sid a will no doubt be made a matter of pu blic demon- strat ion and rejoioing. As he sailed from the p ier he said , \In sixty days I wil l be ia Spain , \ and u p to the lasf; reports he had made better time than he antici pated. Every day during t he voyage a bottle will be thrown over b o a r d n o tin g t h e l o ca tion and other information about the trip. . If Cap t. An drews succeeds in reachin g Spain au d joining in the October calebra. - tions which will be held in honor of the discov e ry of America , he will th en return in one of the great stea ner s * ind arrange to exh ibi t his boat and the log which ha writ as up day by day, at t he World' s Fair in C hi- cago , w here he will be one of the features of the magni ficent display which the manu- facturer s of Sapolio are now perfecting.

The Eng lish woman ' s morning \tub\ is , as every one knows , a plung e in c o ld or sl ightly waim water ^ nd a vi gorous rubbin g down after it , which gives her skin the brilliancy o f white iv o ry an d the smoothness of velvet , and which gives her , too , the blush tints in youth th at blossom out later in life , alas l to full- b lown roses of crimson hue. The bath which g iv es the almond-eyed doll woman of Japan her exquisite so ftness and sup- p leness of skin is a ni g htly bath and morning wash in water t hat is as hot as can be borne. In the bath she take s a prolonged soaking, the washing proper being done on the bathroom floor , fol- lowed b y a second and final soaking, dry ing off with soft towels and a lounge in a bath wrapper. The poore st hear of the cold bath with amazement and a lowering in their estimation of th . e wo- pan who indul ges in it. « i ¦ Taluab le Old Floors. The smelting and refining of the floor s of the factory of a watch company ' s es- . tablishmcnt , on Bond street , near Broad- way, was com p let ed tbe other day and proved to be one of the largest contracts of the kind ever undertaken in America. \Wh en the watcn company decided last spring to ab andon case making the proprietors agreed with the refiners to have the floors of the building on Bond street , wh er e the y had been for nineteen years , worke d up for the precious metals they mi g ht contai n , and contracted the job on a percentage of the value of the gold and silver reclaimed. The co ntractors took up three floors and pa r t of a n other , cut the bo ard3 into le n g ths that would admit of their being easily handled , and carted them ofli to their works. He re the board s were bu rned and the ashes subjected to the process of refining. Altogether about 60 , 000 square feet of lumber was des- troyed , and after deducting tho amount due them on the contract , Messrs. Glw- ieux & Wool8ey turned over to the v ato • company more than $66 , 000 worth o - gold and silver. —New York Mail and Express.
