GENERAL LOGAN'S LETTER.
 The Views He Holds on the Issues of 1 the Day.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., July 19 1884 Dear Sir-Having received from you on the 24tb of June the official notification of my Domination publican candidate for Vice President of the United
 States and considering it to be the duty of every
 su1ne any position to which he may be called by the I voice of his countrymen, accept the nomination
 abilities and if elected shall endeavor to discharge
 the duties of the office to the best of my ability This honor, as is well understood, was wholly un- sought by me. That it was rendered by the repre- sentatives of the party in manner so f1attering will serve to enhghten whatever laborS I may be l called upon to perform.
 Although the variety of subjects covered in the
 very excellent and vigorous declaration of prnci- pies adopted by the late convention prohibits upon full elaboration of which they are susceptible, I
 avail myself of party usage to signify my approval
 of the various resolutions of the platform and to discuss them briefly.
 PROTECTION TO AMERICAN LABOR The resolution" of the platform declaring for a
 ersfed industries, and protection the rights and
 wages of the aborer to the end that active and award, and the Iaborng man his full share in the national prosperity meets my hearty approval. If there be nation on the face of the earth which
 might, if it were desirable thing, build wall upon it's every boundary line, deny communion to all the and productions that nation is the United States.
 There is hardly legitimate necessity of civilized extraordinary resources of several States and
 territories with their manufactores mines, farms, taken in connection with the fact that form

 and that both should enjoy the highest attainable
 prosperity. If there be a disturbance of the just
 balance between them one or the other suffers and The lessons furnished by the comparatively short history of national life have been too much overlooked by our people. The fundamental article in the old Democratic creed proclaimed al most absolute free trade, and this, too no more of our national credit, the financial and business uncertainties and general lack of prosperity under that system, can be remembered by every man

Being practically placed upon the pay of the European laborer, our own would be de prived of facilities for educating and sustaining his per opportunities of self improvement and his legations of government, would be lessened; the moral tone of the laboring class would suffer, and in the interests of capital and the well being of orderly citizens in general, would be menaced, while one evil would react upon another until there munity Tie true problem of a good and stable government is how to infuse prosperity among all the mechanic and the laborer alike Such prosperi- ty is preventive of crime security of capital and the very best uarantee of general peace and hap
 The obvious policy of our government is to pro- of duties. This protection should extend to every article of American production which goes to build up the general prosperity of people.

 OUR MONETARY SYSTEM
 The Republican party is the indisputable author of financial and monetary system which is is safe say has before been equalled by that of any other nation.

 Our system of currency is most admirable in con struction. While all the conveniences of bill cir sents dollar of the worlds money standards, and long as the just and wise policy of the Republ1- can party is continued, there can be impairment of the national credit. Therefore, under present man to lose a penny in the bonds or bills of the
 United States or in the bills of the national banks
 which will be as good in the morning it was the night before, should be appreciated by all The convertibility of the currency should be maintained intact, and the establishment of an in- ternational standard among all commercial nations,
 fixing the relative values Of gold and silver coinage would be measure of peculiar advantage. INTERSTATE, FOREIGN COMMERCE, AND FOREIGN RE- LATIoNs.
