NORTON'S ACCEPTANCE.
A Comprehensive Dissertation on tn
Tariff Question.

iaT'i SSuesAoh'
NEW York, Oct. 4-Hon. Levi p. Nor
ton has written his letter of acceptance,
Of whichNhc following is the substances:
S. In making his formal acceptance of the
candidacy for vice president, he refers to
the resolutions adopted by the national
convention as an uuequivocal and COM
prehensiTe embodiment of his own views
He then goes on to say in regard to the
tariff and our growing industries:
The Republican platform, while recog-
nizing the necessity of reducing the reve-
nue., declares that this reduction must
not be made at the expense of these in
dustries and Of American labor.
The American people have now en-
joyed tn protective system for a longer
continuous period than ever before in the
historysof the national government. The
result is that for more than a quarter of
century they have realized degree of
Industrial and financial prosperity UMPIRE
cedentetl IN this country and never
equalled in any other.
The pressing reason for once again try
ing the Old experiment of revenue tariff
without protection rs motive or end Is
that tie present tariff has produced, and
is producing. surplus in the treasury.
But is it not EASILY within the wisdom of
congress to adjust the national income to
the national expenditure without sacri-
flcing or even luperiiiug an industrial
system which has brought untold advan-
taaes to the entire country.
Admitting that the present tariff by
lapse of time and the large expansion of
trade which it las stimulated, needs re-
vision, is it not wiser and more patriotic
to revise it with a careful regard to the
interest of protection than with the pur-
pose Of lesscning it's protective features3
To the inen who earn their bread by
the sweat Of their brow the difference be-
tween tie two systems is that Of narrow
ing chances On the one hand and expand
ing opport urities ON the other Free
trade would open America to competition
with the whole world. Protection re-
serves America for Americans, native and
adopted.
The Republican platform proposes a
distinctly American policy; not one of
narrowness and bigotry, but one broad
and philanthropic-a policy that best
helps the whole world by the example of
great, growing, powerful nation,
founded on the equality cfevery man be-
fore the law.
1t is for the American people to de.
velop and cultivate the continent to
which in the providence of God they
have fallen heirs. They should adopt a
policy which looks steadily to this great
end. With no spirit of narrowness
toward other peoples, but ratherr-in the
highest interest of all, they should find
under their own flag a field of limitless
advance in The direction of improvement,
the prosperity and the happiness of man.

AN EMPEEoR'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Franz Josef OF Austria Under a hot Ar
ti1lory Fire.

VIENNA, Oct. 2.--The discharge of
artillery at Feiirdorf, in which Emperor
Franz Josef narrowly escaped being shot
was due to q signal not being heard. The
emperor was present at the artillery
practice of the Steinfleld ranges and
gave the order for the bugle to sound to
cease firing. The battery thousand
yards to the rear did not hear the signal
and fired again. On account Of the de-
preston of the ground the officers of the
battery did not see the emperor, who was
advancing TO inspect the target. The
emperor and his suite were luckily just
out Of the line of fire, and were not hit,
though the bullets passed near them.
The emperor's ordeciies rushed up to the
battery and prevented any further firing.

WHEAT, TWO DOLLARS,
A Great Squeezing Of September
Shorts in the Chicago
Grain Market.
The Visible Supply Gripped by odd
Hutch" for All There
Is in It.
HIS Profits Amount to Millions ON the
ESa,-Big Failures Are
Predicted.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s,-On Friday was de-
welcomed one of the most remarkable cor
ners ever manipulated in the Chicago
board OF trade. For some time past Mr..
Hutchinson, or cod Hutch" as he is
famliarly called, has been quietly buy
ing up ali cash wheat. He, however,
managed to allay all suspicious by occa-
siopal!y ostentatiously disposing of guam
ties CT tho cereal. AS the time for Sep
temhsr settlements approached and shorts
began to bid the fact developed that the
available supply was all in the hands
Of the great manipulator-that he had,
in fact, a corner Oh the market and could
run the price up to whatever figure he
desired. The excitement became intense
and before the close wheat had risen from
$40 to 81. So
When the board opened this morning
it WAS givca out by Old Hutch that he
had no wheat for sale less than 81. The
market crcned ct $3.50 with no wheat
offered. No material advance was made
until near the closing hour, shorts evi.
IDENTITY hoping for q break that would
avert Their approaching wreck. AS lila
approached the bidding became lively,
rising to 81 Gj, $l.15 and just before the
close the +. demanded was conceded. AT
this price nearly all the settlements had
to be made. 1t is predicted that this un-
expected squeeze will result in many i'm
portant failures,
During the day the excitement among
spectators was intense. The gallery
overlooking the exchange room was filled
and the circle of gaping spectators around
cold Hatch" presented q iudicrous scene.
At the secrctary's Office it was stated
more visitors tickets of admission to the
floor Of the exchange had been issued
than ever before, rot excepting the eX-
citing times Of the famous Harper's wheat
deal year ago last June.
