BLUroRD WILSON.
The Gresham Letter in Full.
To Hon. Bluford Wilson. Springfield. Illinois;
DEAR MAORI have your letter of the 2lst
instant / did tell you at Springfield that.
after mature reflection, had determined to
agree in the main with his views on the
tariff, and do not believe in the principles
embodied in the Mckinley bill. / adhere to
that determination, and have said nothing
indicating change OF purpose. 1t Is not
true that with my knowledge or consent the
President was asked to appoint me to any
office.
1t is not true that requested any one to
do anything to obtain the Republican
nomination this year; it is not true that
voted tor Mr.. Cleveland in 1855. voted the
tion since the party was organized. except
in 1864, when / was not able to go to the
polls.
The Republicans were pledged to a reduc.
during the campaign OF that year the pledge
was renewed with emphasis, again and
again. Instead OF keeping that promise, the
Mckinley bill was passed. imposing still
higher duties 1t was passed in the interest
of favored classes, and not for tho bcneft OF
the whole people. 1t neither enhanced the
price of farm produces nor benented labor.
Wages are and ever Will be regulated ny
supply and demand. Duties were imposed
upon some articles so high as to destroy
competition and foster trusts and monopo-
lies.
1 think you will agree with me that this
was an abandonment of the doctrine of
moderate incidental protection. The tariff Is
now the most important question before the
people. and whatever others may DO shall
exercise the right OF individual judgment
and vote according to my convictions.
/ think with you that Republican can
vote for MIR. Cleveland without joining the
party.
How shall vote in the future will depend
upon the questions at issue.
Very truly yours,
W. Q. GRESHAM.
