the United States stand at the parting of the nays."
"The people demand a, reform of existing itariffj condition' Since th List

"I am in hearty accord with that plank In uiir platform that fnvors doing for

"In the face ofrthe continuous decline In the record of American shipping

without encouragement. The remedy surely doe not lie In the granting
of subsidies wrung from the pockets of all the taxpayers."
"The national Democracy favors liberal pensions to the surviving soldiers

in staling his position upon the issues for
mulated In the platform of his party, the
nominee dec'ares:
That constitutionalism v. Imperialism Is
!he paramount question to be decided by
the people.
That the tariff should be reformed and
rcvlied by the friends of the masses,
rather than the friends of Its beneficiaries.
That official extravagance Is official
tilmc. meriting swift and certain punish

That flourishing the big stick over South
American Republics lun-Amerlcan and a
long stride toward administrative tyranny

That the method of acquiring the Panr
etinal Is questionable-

nt Roosevelt In relation to executive
enslon ordei No. 78. Judge Parker de-
ilarci that If he shall be elected he will
revoke the order and endeavor to compass
ihe end desired through legislation by Con-p-ess.
Hee is the full text of the letter:
tn the Honorable Champ Clark and Oth
ers. Committee. Etc.:
Gentlemen In my response to your com
nittee. at the formal notification proceed
ings. I referred to some matters not men
Uoned in this letter. I desire thai these
e considered as Incorporated herein, and
regret that lack of space prevents specific
reference to them all. I wish here, how
iv er. again to refer to my views there
txpres'cd as to the gold standard, to de
flare agsln my unqualified belief in said
ilandard. end to express my appreciation
of the action of the convention In reply
lo my communication upon that subject.
Grave public questions are pressing for
leclslon. The Democratic party appeals to
the people with confidence that Its posi
tion on these questions will be accepted
nd indorsed at the po'.ls. While the Is
lues Involved re numerous, some stand
forth pre-eminent In the public mind.
Among these are: Tariff Reform, Impe
rialism, Economical Administration and
Honesty In the Public Service. I shall
briefly consider these and some others
within the necessarily prescribed limits of
this letter.
IMPERIALISM.
While I presented my views at the noti-
ication proceedings concerning this vital
u. the overshadowing Importance of
Is question Impels, me to refer to It
aln. The Issue Is oftentimes referred
as Constitutionalism vs. Imperialism.
If we would retain our liberties and con
ditional right unimpaired, we cannot
penult or tolerate, at any time or for any
purpose, tiie arrogatlon of unconstitu
tional' powers by the executive branch of
our Government, We should be ever mind
ful of the words of Webster. "Liberty Is
orty to be preserved by maintaining con
stitutional restraints and Just divisions of
political powers."
Already the national Government has be
come centralized beyond any point con
templated or imagined by the framers of
the Constitution. How tremendously all
this has added to the power of the Presi
dent! It has develrped from year to year
until It almost equals that of many mon
archs. While the growth of our country
and the magnitude of Interstate interests
msy seem to furnish a plausible reason
for this centralization of power, yet tbese
same facts afford the most potent reason
why the executive should not be permit
ted to encroach upon the other depart
ments of the Government, and assume
legislative or other powers not expressly
conferred by the Constitution.
'Xbk magnitude of ilia country and Its
of the Dinjley act stands forth as a, monu
&
remember that he may serve his party A
diversity of Interests an,j population
would enable a determined, ambitious and
able executive, unmindful of constitu
tional limitations and fired with the luft
ofpower, to go far In the usurpation of
authority and the aggrandizement of per
sonal power before the situation could be
fully appreciated or the people be aroused.
The Issue of Imperialism which has
been thrust upon the country involves a
decision whether the law of the land or
the rule of individual caprice shall gov
ern. The principle of imperialism may
give rise to brilliant, startling, dashlrs
results, but the principle of Democracy
holds In check the brilliant executive and
subjects him to the sober, conservative
control of the people.
The people of the United Stales stand
at the parting of the ways. Shall we fol
low the footsteps of our fathers alone
the paths of peace, prosperity and con
tentment, guided by the everllvlng spirit
of the Constitution which they framed
for us. or shall we go along other and un
tried paths, hltlierto shunned by all. fol
lowing blindly new Ideals, which, though
appealing with brilliancy to the Imagina
tion and ambition, may prove a will o
the wisp. leading us Into difficulties from
which It may be impossible to extricate
ourselves without lasting Injury to our
national character and Institutions?
THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS.
Tariff reform is one of the cardinal
principles of the Democratic faith, and
the necessity for it was never greater than
at the present time. It should be under
token at once In the Interest of all our
people.
The Dlngley tarifT Is excessive In many
of Its rates, and. as to them, at least, un
justly and oppressively burdens the peo
ple. It secures to domestic manufactur
ers, singly or In combination, the privilege
or exacting excessive prices at home and
prjees far above the level of sales mnde
regularly by them abroad with profit, thus
giving a bounty to foreigners at the ex
pense of our own people.
Its unjust taxation burdens the peo
ple generally, forcing them to pay ex
cessive prices for food, fuel, clothing
and other necessaries of life. It levies
duties on many articles not normally im
ported In any considerable amount, which
are made extensively at home, for which
the most extreme protectionist would
hardly Justify protective taxes, and which
in large amounts are exported. Such du
ties have been and will continue to be a
direct Incentive to the formation of huge
Industrial combinations, which, secure
from foreign competition, are enabled
to stifle domestic competition and practi
cally to monopolize the home market.
It contains many duties Imposed for the
express purpose only, as was openly
avowed, of fprnlshlng a basis for reduc
tion by means of reciprocal trade treaties,
which the Republican administration, im
pliedly at least, promised to negotiate.
Haviny, on this promise, secured the In
creased duties, the Republican party lead
ers, spurred on by protected Interests, de
feated the treaties negotiated by the ex
ecutive, and now these same Interests
cling to the benefit of these duties which
the people never Intended they should
have. an.d to which they have no moral
right.
Even now the argument most frequently
urged in behalf of the Dinglev tariff, and
against tariff reform generally, is the ne
cessity of caring for our infant industries.
Many of theae industries, after a hundred
years of lusty growth, are looming up as
industrial giants. In their case, at least,
the Dingier tariff Invites combination and
monopoly, and gives Justification to the
expression that the tariff is the mother
of trusts.
For the above-mentioned reasons.

JAPS GAIN SEVERAL
IMPORTANT POSITIONS.
Chefoo. Sept. IS. 10J0 p. m. As a re
sult of the battle before Port Arthur
which began on September 19. the Japanese
succeeded In capturing several Important
positions, and to-day th" Russian tenure
of the big forts guarding the north, north
east and northwest sides of the town is
seriously threatened
Chinese Information places the Japanese
losses under J-OOO for the three days flght
Ing.f and this comparatively smalt casu
alty list Is due to the care us;d by the
Japanese In making their preparations for
the advance. Russian sources, however,
claim to have Information that the Japa
nese losses'were unusually severe, amount
ing to fully three times the number men
tioned above.
Possibly the most Important capture
during the three days' righting was that
of Fort Kuropatkln. which, while of
minor value, with regard to preventing
the entrance into the town of the Jap
anese, had been constructed for the pur
pose of protecting the source of the gar
rison's water supply. The control of this
water supply Is now In the hands of the
Japanese.
ATTACK BEGINS
BEFORE DAYBREAK.
As was announced in these dispatches
on September 3). the battle bgan before
daybreak on September 13. At this hour
the citizens and garrison of Port Arthur,
after the tnjoyment of weeks of compara
tive security, awoke to the thunderous
reports of artillery along the line extend
ing from the west of Itz Mountains to
Rlhlung and KIkman mountains.
This was but a preface to the assault
which was destined to result In the cap
ture of three new and Important Russian
positions, together with six small, but an
noying, forts lying between Shushlvcn and
Rlhlung mountains
During the day and nlfcht of the 19th
and until noon of the 30th the bombard
ment continued without cessation, and the
many shells falling from quarters which
previously had been silent made It ob
vious that the Japanese had at last suc
ceeded either In mounting many heavy
guns In new positions or In strengthening
their old positions. The Infantry fight
during this period was comparatively
trivial.
JAPANESE INFANTRT
BEGIN THEIR ADVANCE.
At noon on September 20 the Japanese
right and center, the former being to the
west and the latter to the east of the rail
road, commenced the advance. The troops
made use of the trenches and Infrequent
natural cover that lay In their way.
The small forts to the south of Shushl
yen resisted this advance but briefly, their
garrisons not being strong numerically.
Since the beginning of the bombardment

the artlllerv fire from Fort Kuroatkln
h.id been growlri- stendll w.iker. and
when It had become apparent that It hud
been practically silenced, the Japanese

Fort Kuropatkln 1 situated to the south
of Palkhuang and to the northea.st of the
parade ground, on a low hill. It derives
Its Kim from Ih time when General

M-vrre fUhtlng it fell Into the hands of
the Jj-anese. This capture lessens fur
ther the security of the fort on Rlhlung
Mountain, which Is now threatered from
a new quarter as well as from P.ill
chiuiiig JAPANESE RESIST
SEVERAL SORTIEo-
At - o'clock on the afternoon of the
Dh the Japanese captured a. supplemen
tal fort which, from the lower ground,
threatens the fort on Itz Mountain. ThN
nd.il the heavy righting for that day. al
though the Japanese later were compelled
to resist several sorties.
During the r.lght the heavy bombard
ment of the Russian positions continued,
the Japanese fire being directed with par
ticular visor against another supplemen
tary fort 3.W" yards to the west of the
fori on Itz Mountain, and regarded has
..'hlv Important becouse cf Its bearing
on the Itz and Ansliu Mountain forts.
The next daj. after having pounded this
position unmercifully and until Its fire had
slackened visibly, the Japanese delivered
their a-sault. They met with a stubborn
resistance. They were exposed to the lire
of machine guns and rifles and they made
frantic efforts to reach the crest of -the
slope. They leaped over trenches and
embankments and tore down the entan
glements In their psth until at lenzth
they entered the fort.
RUSSIAN GARP.I90N
AI.MCST ANNIHII.ATED.
The Russian troops there refused to de
sert the isjsltlon even In the face of the
superior numbers which confronted them,
and desperate hand-to-hand fighting oc
curred Inside the fort. Eventually almost
the entire RusIhh garrison was either
killed or wounded
Tlw foregoing Information has been ob
tained from a Chinese of unimpeachable
trustworthiness.
Military experts here are of the opinion
that If the Japanese capture either Rlh
lung or Klkwan forts or the Itz and
Anshu forts, the doom of Port Arthur is
sealed, and for this reason the Importance
of the results obtained by the Japane"; In
their latest assaults upon the Russian po
sitions Is obvious.
As the Chinese from whom th corre
spondent of the Associated Press obtained
his Information left Port Arthur the night
of September U. he Is unable to say
w-hether the battle was renewed on the J.
although Junks which have come In here
bring reports of a light bombardment on
that day.
A steamer which has arrived here from
Port Dalny confirms previous reports that
there was heavy fighting at Port Arthur
on September II.
