alton:
washington, d. O., July 10, 1ss4-Dear Sir:
Having received from you on the gath OF June
oficial notification of my nomination by the
national Republican convention as the Republi-
can candidate for vice president OF the United
States. and considering it to be the duty OF
every man devoting himself 70 the pubic ser
called by the voice Of his countrymen, 1 accept
the nomination with grateful heart and. deep
sense OF my Iesponsloissles anu u ~ ei bs eesc sn4 ~
the best OF my ability. This honor, as Is well
understood, was wholly unsought by me. That
It was rendered by representatives OF the party
whatever labors / may be called upon to perform.
Although the variety Of subjects covered In the
very excellent and vigorous declaration of prin-
cipiea adopted by the late convention prohibits,
upon an occasion calling for breyity OF express
sion. that full elaboration OF which they are sus-
ceptshle, / avail myself OF party usage to signify
my approval OF the various resolutions OF the
platform, and 20 discuss them briefly.
PROTECTION TO AMERICAN LABOR.
The resolutions of the platform declaring for
the levy of such duties "as to AFFORD security to
our diversified industries and protection to the
rights and wages of laborers, TO the end that &C
tive and intelligent labor, as well as capital,
may have it's Just award, and the laboring man
his full share in the national prosperity, meets
nav hearty approval IF there be a nation on the
face OF earth which might, IL 1t were a desirable
thing, build q wall upon its every boundary line,
deny communion to all the world and proceed to
live upon its own resources and productions,
that nation is the United States. There Is hardly
a legitimate necessity OF civilized communities
which cannot be produced from the exrraordi-
nary resources OF our several states and terri
tories. with their manufactures. mines. farms.
timber lands and waterways. inns eirc9m.
that our form OF government Is entirely
unique among the nations OF the world,
makes It utterly absurd TO institute comparl,
eons between our own economic systems and
those of other governments, and especially TO
attempt to borrow systems from them. We
stand alone in our circumstances, our forces, our
possibilities and aspirations. In all successful
governments it is q prime requisite that capital
and labor should be upon the best terms and
that both should enjoy the highest attaina5le
prosperity. II there be a disturbance of the
lust balance between them, one or the
other suffers and dissatisfaction follows,
which is harmful to both. The les
sons furnished by the comparatively short
history Of our own national life, have been too
much overlooked by our people. The funda-
mental article IN the old Democratic creed pro-
claimed almost absolute free trade, and this, too,
no more than a quarter OF a century ago. The
low condition OF our national credit, the fInan-
cfal aud business uncertainties, andsgeneralla lack
OF prosperity under that system can be Temem-
bered BIZ every man now In middle life. Although
q great number OF reforms have been institutedby
the Republican party, sufficient credit has not
been publicly awarded to that OF
TARIFF REFORM
Tta benefits have nevertheless been felt through
out the land. The principle underlying this
measure has been In process Of gradual develop
ment by the Republican party during the COM
paratively brief period of its power, and to-day
apcrtion Of i3s aatiquated Democratic opponents
make unwilling concession to tho correctness OF
the doctrine Of an equitably adjusted protective
tariff by following Elowly In its footsteps, though
o very long way in the rear. The principle in

5olitical and social systems OF some
Of our trade-competing nations have
created working classes miserable In the ex-
IRENE. They receive the merest stipend for
their daily toll and put co great expense for
necessities Of life: are deprived Of those COM
forts, clothing, housing and health-prOducing
food. which, with wholesome menlal and social
recreation, can alone make existence happy and
Desirable. Now If the products Of those coun-
tries are to be placed In our own markets. along
side American products, either the American cap

must make the American laborer suffer in
