pearance of the national state guard in

hibitions ever given in the state. The

THAT TARIFF REFORM
Still CleveIands Pet Theory, Judging
From His Letter to the League.

CHICAGO. III Feb. l9.-The following 10
a copy of President Cleveland's letter in re
ply to an invitation to be present at the con-
vention Of the National Tariff Re form League
shich will meet in this city this afternoon.
1t is entirely in the Presidents handwriting
At one point there is an evident omission of
some words necessary to the sense and those
suggested by Secretary White of the league,
AS the probable ones, are inserted in brac-
kets.
To John + White. Esq, Secretary;
DEAR SIR I have rt ceived the invitation
of the TarItf Reform League to be present at
the convention of tariff reformers to be held
in the city of Chicago on the 18th. Goth and
2l,t OF F. rusry. 1889. have also read the
clfcul n Of the league accompanying the in
vitation, in which the objects and purposes of
the proposed convention are specifically set
forth. The .cheme of practical and eff
ficient work therein described meets with my
hearty approval. and promises, if honestly
adhered 10. the most valuable aid in the fur
thersnce of cause which is very near the
iptcres,s and welfare of our people The
danger which We have to guard against is the
misleading of our countrymen by specious
theories cunningly contrived and falsely offer
ing to the people relief from present burdens
aud the legitimate expense necessary to Sc
cure the benefits of beneicent rule under the
sanction of free institutions.
The declared purposes of your league will
not be attained until all those interested in
the economy question, which is now pressed
upon their attention, are freed from all So
phistries aud clouding fsllscies. and until the
tject of tariff reform is presented to them
as a TO pie Involving the relief of the plain
people of the land in their homes from use
less and unjust expense. The question is .
simple aud plain one and needs but to be
fairly pre- scented to be understood. It is the
preroga,ive of your organization to guard the
people against deception. My extreme in
terest in the work which your league has un-
dertaken. and in the expressed objects of the
proposed convention. would lead me to ac-
cept your invitation If it were possible to do
so. But my public duties here positively
prevent such acceptance. Hoping that the
convention will be verv successful, and with
an earnest wish for the prosperity and sue
cess of your league in its efforts to enlighten
and benefit the people, am yours very
truly,

Bayard Comes Out With Another
Statement Regarding the Samoan
Trouble
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.

WAsHISGToS, Feb. 10.
The statement in regard to the Samoan
question was prepared at the Department
of State today. 1t says; The advocates
of the assumption of a virtual protectorate
over the Samoan islands by the United
States appear to lose sight of the fact that
this government, in the pursuance of ira.
ditonal and established policy regarding for
eign possessions, has FIVE times refused to
assume such relation. The dissvowal of
Consul Gree nbaum's act three years ago in
raising the American flag and declaring a
protectorate is an instance of this.
In 1873 one Steinberger sent out by Pres
ident Grant as special agent to report on the
condition of the islands, is rumored to have
promised the natives the protection of the
United States. The house of Representatives
on the 2sth of March. 1876, instructed the
committee on foreign affairs to inquire into
the extent and character of the power con-
ferred by the United States upon A. B.
Steinberger. The result of this action was,
dispatches from Secretary of State Fish to
Steinberger saying the State department had
no right to authorize him to make such prom
ises.
In 1877 Colmesnet, United States com
mercial agent at Apia raised the United
States flag over the Samoan flag.
His act was mol sustained by the govern
ment. On Febrl ary 22d, 1873. the Samoan
government in agreement with u S. Consul
Griffin, fearing lest the British commissioner
might resort to force to compel the conclu-
sion of the treaty with Great Britain, had
the United States flag raised over that of
Samoa on the government flag staff. The
United States again refused protectorate and
a treaty wss,aoncluded by Evarts and Mamea.
The Samoan only provided for for exercise
of the governments good offices.
When the islands hsd no treaty relations
with any foreign power, the United States
rejected .Mamea's overture for treaty pro
lection. The assumption nov by the United
States of . virtual, though not nominal
protectorate over the Samoan group is the
most onerous form which the obligation oi
protection could assume, since it would rem
der the United States practically responsible
for the consequences of the acts Of these
semi-civilized and unorganixed tribes. with
out q right to control them.
