UHOETER UINS WILL YIN ALL.

In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Reid empha-
sizes the view recently expressed by chairman
Carter, Secretary Charles + o'ter' senator o"er-
man and Senator Ald,ich that, IN the nature
Of things. the election of a President TINS year
clearly carries with it maJorliies IN both houses
of Congress The States i'll which the contest
is being most sharply made will choose LesiS-
latureS which will elect successors to outgoing
RepubIicln Senators. II the Democratic parry
elects Mr. Cleveland, IL Will be Tor the hiS'
time in thrty-tWo years capable OF altering
tho lines of Governmental policy originally
established BY Republican statesmen, and lrmly
adhered to for more than a generation There
ought to be no miSapprehcnsion on the part OF
any voter as to the full effect OF the ballo' nc
casts The Republican party and lts cahdioa'es
aIe plcdged to sustain the Protective poilcN' u
maintain and extend the policy of Reciprocity,
70 preserve equality in the intrinsic value OF
all money of a given denomination issued d!
tho General Government, to proceed III It's al
roadv romorkablv successful efforts TO revive
american shining t. deal justly and literally
with the veterans who fought for the prcServa-
,ion Of the Union and with their dependent
families. and by the appointment OF non
rortiSan commission or in some other falr, open
and satisfactory way. to provide laws assuring
= nure free ballot and a fair full count. In
none Of these particulars is there any doubt as
,o what the party AMI its candidates intend.
The Democratic party has declared with
coual cxpcitncSS. and, aS Il majority OF US
delegate, at Chicago frankly said Tor the pur-
poSe of putting itself i'll complete accord with
ifs candidate that Protection in any form Is
unconstitutional. 1t says that the. New YORK
farmer must compete with the Canadian farmer
as hest he can. but not with the help o. tariff !;
that the New England and southern tobacco
crovvcrS must compete with the tobaco D grow
els of Cuba and Sumatra. where labor Is "ear
at % cents "A day a. best they can, but not
with the aid Of the tariff that II manufactures

and rubber can he bought abroad cheaper than
here. because labor there is cheaper than 1t Is
here then abroad they must be bought, or
wages here must 90 down, for II Is unconStitu-
,ioual TO frame a Tariff bill which undertakes
10 make ND the difference between wages there
and wages here. All such considerations the
Democratic plat form fcarlc>Sly says. are Illegal
and with the Democratic party IN power, I'M
possible II says, further, III dealing WIN inc
currency question, that the states should be
free 10 issue money under their own laws. In
other words. it recommends a return To the
system of wildcat banking, system under
which the wayfanng man needed to carry
around with him a printed book descriptive
Of the various forms and kinds OF notes IN cN-
istence and Of the counterfcits upon them {;
needed before he accepted money in change at
a store to examine it, note by note, III the light
Of the facts set forth in this book, and then
needed to hurry off to his bank and deposit It
lest in the next hour or two ii should dcprocIate
in value or It's bank OF issue actually fail.
Certainly there can be no sharper line of
difference drawn than that which exists be
tvcch the aims and policies Of the parties now
arravcd against each other in strenuous con-
fict throughout the country. Let every voter
who goes to the poll, understand that he votes
for more than an individual. Let him under
stand that il i the necessary outgrowth OF the
situation aS il exists to-day that the party
which elects its President shall be in complete
po,.e.sion Of the Government in all its branches,
and shall be capable Of putting the policies To
which it is committed in full effect.
