MORTON'S LETTER.
The Republican Nominee For Vice
President Accepts.

Mr. Levi P. Morton, the Republican nomi-
nee for the Vice Presidency of the United
States has issued his letter of acceptance. He
says that the resolutions adopted at the Chica-
go Convention uneQuivocal and comprehen-
sive in character, ref ct his personal convic-
tions and have his hearty approval The con-
trolling issue in the campaign. he says Is the
question as to whether the protective tariff
duties now in force shall be so reduced as to
destroy their efficiency or whether these
duties shall be retained, with such moditca-
tons and adjustments as shall better adapt
them to the great end of protecting the vast
and important industries OF the whole coun-
1.-The Republican platform" Mr.. Morton
continues, while recognizing the necessity
of reducing the revenue, declares that this
reduction must not be made at the expense
of these industries and of American labor
After ascribing the present prosperity of
the country to the operation of protective
tariffs Mr.. Morton says: 1.-The pressing rea-
son given for once again trying the old expert
ment of a revenue tariff without protection
as a motive or end is that the present
tariff has produced or is producing a
surplus in the Treasury. But it is not
easily within the wisdom Of Congress to
adjust the national income to the
national expenditure without sacrificing or
even imperilling an indu trial system which
has brought untold advantage to the country.
Admitting that the present tariff by lapse
which it has stimulated needs revision, is it
not wiser and more patriotic to revise it with
a careful regard to the interests of protection
than with the purpose of lessening its pro-
tective features!
1.-The industrial system of a country is as
sensitive as its public credit. A hostile move
ment creates distrust in the public mind, and
confidence the only basis of successful trade,
becomes impaired. New enterprises wither
in the bud capital grows timid, the field of
labor is contracted. and pressure for employ
ment inevitably reduces the wages of all
working men"
Again express .ng himself in hearty accord
with the declarations of the National Re-
publican platform Mr.. Morton mentions
especially the questions of silver, the settle
ment of the public lands; better coast de-
interests of the country. He de-
clares that the Republican plat
form proposes a distinctly American
policy and says that the American people,
with no spirit of narrowness toward other
people, but rather in the highest interest of
all, should find under their own flag a field of
limitless advance in the direction of the inn
provement, the prosperity and the happiness
of man."
