Nomination for President.
Tho
Document Touches Most of tho
Important Planks in the
Republican National Platform ThoMiiJor
Ulirniin tho Money Question at Great
Length If e Favors the Use of lloth
ull anil Silver on a Piirlt).
CANTOJf, O., Aug. 27. Mnj. McKlw
ley gave his letter of acceptauco to th
press associations Wednesday after
noon having finished his last reading1
and revision of It at half-past twelve
o'clock. The letter touches upon all of.
the Important planks in the republican
national plutform, but the first half ci
it is devoted to an encisivo discussion
of the money question. The major ill
part says:
Bon. John M. Thurston, and others, mem
hers of the notification committee of tho re
publican nntlonal convention.
Gentlemen! In pursuance of the promlso
made to your committee when notified of mj
nomination as tho republican candidate for
president I beg to submit this formal accept
ance of that high honor,, and to con
sider In detail Questions at Issue In
the pending campaign. Perhaps this
might be considered unnecessary
in view of my remarks on that -occasion and
those I havo mado to delegations that havo
visited mo since the St Louis convention, but
In Tien ot the momentous Importance of tho
proper settlement ot tho Issues presented on
our tuturo prosperity and standing na a na
tion, and considering only tho welfare and
happiness of our people, I could not
be content to omit ngatn calling
attention to tho questions which In my opin
ion vitally effect our strength and position
among the governments ot the world, and our
morality. Integrity and patriotism as citizens
of that ropubllc, which for a century past has
been tho best hope of tho world and tho
inspiration of mankind. TVo must not
now prove false to our own high
standards In government, nor unmindful
ot the noble example and wise precepts of tho
fathers, or ot the confidence and trust which
our conduct In the past has olwnvs inspired.
For the first tlmo slnco 1868, If ever before,
there is presented to tho American peoplo this
year a clear and direct Issue as to
our monetary system, ot vast im
portance In Its effects and upon tho
right settlement ot whtoh rests largely tho
financial honor and prosperity ot tho country.
It Is proposed by one wing of the democratla
party and Its allies, tho peoples' and silver
parties, to lnnugurate the tree and unlimited
coinage ot silver by Independent uctlon on the
part of the United fctutcs at a ratio of 10
ounces ot sliver to one ounce ot gold. Tho
mere declaration of this purposo Is a menace
to our financial and Industrial Inter
ests, and has nlrcadv created universal
alarm. It Involves great peril to tho
credit and business ot tho country,
a perl) so grave that conservative men every
where aro breaking away from their old party
associations and uniting with other patrlotlo
citizens In emphatic protest against the plat
form of tho democratic national contention as
an assault upon tho faith and honor of tho
government and tho welfaredt the people. Wo

republic more serious tnnnrao ono wnicn 1
thus presented.
The character of tho money which shall
measure our values and exchanges and settle
out balances with ono another, and with the
nations of the world Is of such primary
Importance and so far-reaching in Its conse
quences, as to call tor the most painstaking
Investigation, and In tho end. sober and un
prejudiced judgment at all polls. We must
aot bo misled by phases, nor deluded by false
theories. Fteo stiver would 'not mean that
lllvcr dollars were to bo freely had without
cost or labor. It would mean tho freo use of
the mints of ,tho United States for the few
who are owners ot stiver bullion, but would
make silver coin no freer to tho many who aro
engaged in, other enterprises. It would not
make labor easier, tho hours ot labor shorter
or the pay better. It would not make farming
lesB lnborlous or mora profitable. It would
not start a factory, or make a demand for
an additional day's labbr. It would creato no
new occupations. It would add nothing to
the comfort of.the masses, tho capltalof the
peoplo or tho wealth of tho nation. It seeks
to lntroduco a new measuro of value, but
would add no value to tho thing measured. It
would not conserve values On the contrary.
It would derange all existing values. It would
aot restoro business confidence, but Its direct
Effect would bo to destroy the little which yet
remains.-
The meaning ot the colnago plank adopted
at Chicuffo Is that any one nuy take a quan
tity of sliver bullion, now worth B3 cent, to
tho mlnti of tho United States, have It coined
at tho expense ot tho government and recclvo
tor It a silver dollar, whioh shall bo legal ten
der for the payment of all debts, public and
private. The owner of the silver bullion
would get the sliver dollar. It would belong
to him and to nobody else. Other peoplo would
jet It only by thotr labor, the products of
their land, or something of lvalue. Tho bullion
owner, on the basis of present valuos, would
recelvo the stiver dollar for 53 cents' worth of
silver, and other people would bo required to
receive It as a full dollar In the payment ot
debts. Tho government wonld get nothing
from tho transaction. It would bear the ex
pense of coining the stiver, and the commun
ity would sutler lots by its use.
We havo coined slnco 1878 moro than four
hundred millions of silver dollars, which aro
maintained by the government at parity with
sold, and are u full legal tender for the pay
ment ot all debts, public and private. How
aro tho silver dollars now In use different
from thoso which would bo In use under
tree coinage? They aro to ba of tho
samo weight and fineness: they are to bear
the same stamp of the government Why
would they not bo of tho samo value? I an
swor: Tho silver dollars now In use were
coined on account of the government and not
for the private account or gain, and the gov
ernment has solemnly agreed to keep them as
good as the best dollars wo have. Tho gov
ernment bought the silver bullion at Its
market valuo and colnod it Into sliver dollars.
Having exclusive control of the mintage, It
only coins what It can hold at a parity with
gold. The profit, representing tho difference
between the commercial value of the slhcr
bullion and the faco value ot the sllverdollar,
goes to the gorernment for the benefit ot tho
people. The government bought tho sliver
bullion contained In the silver dol
lar at very much less than Its
coinage value. It paid It out to Its creditors
and put It In circulation among tho people at
the face value of one hundred cents, or a full
dollar. It required the peoplo to accept It as
a legal tender, and Is thus morally bound to
maintain It at parity at gold which was
then, as now, tho recognized standard
with us, and the most enlightened nations ot
tho world. The government having Issued
and circulated tho silver dollar It must In
honor protect tho holder from loss. This obli
gation It has so far sacredly kept Not only
Is there amoral obligation but there Is n legal
obligation, .expressed In public statute, to

Tho dollars, In thii particulars I havo named,
aro not the same as tho dollars which would
be Issued undor free colnago. They would be
tho same In form, but different In value. The
government would havo no part In tho trans
action, oxcopt to coin the silver bullion Into
dollars. It would share In no part ot tho
profit. It would tako upon Itself no obliga
tion. It would not put tho dollar Into cir
culation. It could get them, as any
citizen would got them, by giving
something for them It would deliver
them to those who deposited tho silver, and
Its connection with the transaction thero end
Such aro tho silver dollars which would bo is
sued undor free coinage of silver nt a ratio of
lOtoL Who would then maintain the parity t
What would keep them at par with gold?
Thero would ho no obligation resting upon tbo
Koverntrent to do It and If thero wore It would
be poworlcs to do It. The simple truth Is wo
would be driven to a silver basis to stiver mo
nometallism. These dollars then, would stand
upon their real value If the frco and unlimit
ed colnago ot sliver at a ratio of 10 ounces of
silver to ono ounce ot gold would, as some of
Us advocates assert, mako S3 cents In silver
worth 100 cents, and tho stiver dollar equal to
tho gold dollar. then wo would have no cheaper
money than now, and It would be no easier to
get But that Buch would be tho result Is
against reason and contradicted by ex
perience In all times and In all
lands. It means the debasement of our cur
rency to tbo amount ot tbo difference between
the commercial and coin valuo ot tho stiver
dollar, which Is ever changing, and the effect
would be to rcduco property values, entallun
told financial loss, destroy confidence. Impair
tho obligations ot existing contracts, further
Impoverish the laborers and producers of tho
country, create a panic of unparalleled sever
ity and Indict upon trade and commerce a
deadly blow, jAgalnst any such policy I am
unalterably opposed.
Bimetallism can not be secured by Inde
pendent action on our pirt It can not bo ob
tained by opening our mints to tho unlimited
coinage ot silver of the world ot a ratio oj 10
ounces of silver to 1 one ounce of gold,
when tho commercial ratio Is moro than
thirty ounces of silver to ono ounce of gold.
Mexico and China have tried the exper
iment. Mexico has free coinage of sliver
and gold at a ratio slightly In excess of six
teen and a half ounces of silver to ono ounce
of gold, and while her mints aro freely open
to both metals at that ratio, not a single dol
lar In gold bullion Is coined and circulated na
money. Gold has been driven out of circula
tion In thoso countries and they are on a
silver basis alone. Until International agree
ment Is had It Is tho plain duty ot tho United
States to maintain the gold standard. It Is
the recognized and sole standard ot tho great
commercial nations of tho world with which
wo trado more largely than any other. Eighty
four per cent, of our foreign trade for tho fis
cal year 189 was with gold standard countries
and our trade with other countries was set
tled on a gold basis
The major says that we now havo moro sli
ver In circulation than gold. Dy means ot
legislation during and since 1878 more than
88,tO,000 of silver or Its representatives
has been put In circulation. Prior to that
tlmo there had been less than nine millions
of silver dollars joined In tho entire history
of the United Stctes,
Of the double standard McKlnloy says:
"It was tho concurrent law of nations that
made the doublo standard; 1! will require the
concurrent law ot nations to reinstate and
sustain It."
Tho republican party.has not been and Is not
now opposed to the use of silver money, as Its
record abundantly shows It has done all
that could bo done for its Increased use. with
safety and honor, by tho United States acting
apart from other governments.
Wo havo much more silver In use than any
country In tho world except India or China
8510,000,000 more than Great Britain; 150,000,
000 more than France: f.400,000,COO more than
Germany.
The republican party h..s declared In favor
of an International agreement and It elected
president It will bo mj duty to employ all
proper mear,3 to promote It. Tho free colnago
ot silver In this country would defer, It not
defeat, International bimetallism.
It Is proposed by the republican party to
koep all of tho silver money now In circula
tion on a parity with gold by maintaining the
pledge of tho government that all of It shall
be equal to gold. This has been tho unbroken
policy of tho republican party slnco 1S78. It
will prcservo their quality In tho tuturo as It
has always done In the past. It will not con
sent to put thH country on n silver basis,
which would Incvltab'y follow Indcpontfont
free coinage ut a ratio of IS to 1. It will op
pos o the expulsion of gold frcm cur circuit
tlon. The farmers and laborers would suffer most
from the debasement of the currency, savs the
major, and then goes on to dUcuss tho un
limited Irredeemable paper currency question
He says:
"Tho graver memce to our financial stand
ing nnd crodlt could hardly bo conceived, and
every patriotic citizen should bo aroused to,
promptly meet and effectually dofeat It"
Another Issue of supreme Importance is
that of protection. The peril of freo silver Is
a menace to to feared; wo are already ex
periencing tho effect of partli 1 free trado The
one must to bo averted: the othei
corrected The republican party Is wed
ded to the doctrine ot protection and
was never more earnest in its support and ad
vocacy than now If argument were needed
to strengthen its system on the party nnd
peoplo It is found in the lesson and experience
of the last past thrco soars. Men reallzo In
their own daily lives what before was to many
of them only report, history or tradition
They havo had a trial of both systems and
know what each has done for thorn.
McKlolcy strongly fnvors reciprocity and
says tho splendid results of reciprocity are
striking and suggestive.
The soldiers and sailors ot tho union should
neither be neglected r.or forgotten. Tho pol
icy governing the administration of the pen
sion bureau must always be fair and Hbor.il.

guarded throughout the day by squads
of police who were instructed to hold

The Suunil Mimey Democratic Delegates
of Ohio Meet nt Columlmn.
Coi.umiius, (.)., Aug. 27. Two hun
dred delegates are in attendance at the
btato convention of tho t-ound money
democrats here. It was to havo been
called to order at 11 a. ra,, but owing
to delay in the arrival of trains, it wns
nearly noon when Congressman Outh
walte i-apjcl for order. Among the
prominent democrats in the conven
tion aic V. 1'. Kline, of Cleveland, W.
W. Mcdary, of this city, Col. S. K.
Donuvin, Henry Apthorp, Julius Dex
ter, of Cincinnati, and Ii. L. Hinman,
01 Columbus.
In his speech opening the convention
Mr. Outhunite denounced the stato
convention and the national conven
tion of tho democrats as un-democratic
and populistic. The freo silver agita
tion, he said, had. effectually put a
stop to all new industrial enterprises.
His .severe criticism of the plank refcr
ing to the supreme court, and the sec
tional utterances of Senator Tillman
called forth great opplause. At 12:t5
the convention took a recess to 2:15,
after the following committees had
bt.'en appointed:
On resolutions Virgil I Kline, Julius
Dexter, Henry C. Marshall, Henry Ap
thorp, Wrn. Simm and Newell Kcnnon.
On nominations: A. E. Burrell, R. F.
Goulder, H. Van Ness, II. T. Thomp
son and E. W. Tolerton. Temporary
Chairman Outhwaite announced that
John U. Clarke, of Youngstown, had
been bclcetcd for chairman, and W. S.
Forman, of Cincinnati, for secretary.
On reassembling Thursday afternoon
Mr. Clarke delivered a strong address
to the convention.
1 he platform adopted declares that
the Chicago convention platform is un
democratic and unpatriotic. It de
clares that that platform is intended
to divicieth people, into, classes and to
array one against the other; and It con
demns the federal administration for the
enforcement of law; and for the preser
vation of the public credit, attacks the
highest tribunal of law in the nation
and strikes at the right of private con
tract. It condemns the Chicago plat
form proposition to issue paper Cur
rency by thp government in place
of the nnt!onal bank currency
without limit, and refers to
the free silver coinage proposition
ns the crowning folly of the document.
All these declarations of the Chicago
piat'orm aro rejected by the platform
of the sound money democrats, and the
principles of coinage proclaimed by
Jefferson, Jackson, Tildcn and Cleve
land are endorsed.

The United States shipping commis

shipping articles of all vessels bound
for foreign ports, a clause providing
that tho final payment for crews'

silver coin or its equivalent. This rul

among seamen. Ship owners assert
that this action is a precautionary
movement in anticipation of the prob
able adoption of the ree coinage laws.
