ley's letter Of acceptance was issued
yesterday. II Is devoted principally to
the discussion OF what he considers the
great questions Of the canipaign-pro-
lection, honest money and reciprocity.
About one.third OF the letter Is devoted
ID u consideration Of the free silver
question. lie announces thnt he is UNI
nlterably opposed to any such policy.
lie attempts TO show that the repub-
iicnn position in the pending campaign
Is no ''ncw departure" but that Its
proposition 10 maintain goll and sill.

and laborers would suffer most by the
adoption OF free silver.
The silver question, In his Judgment,
Is not the only issue affecting our
money in the pending contest. lie
considers the declaration of the demo-
cratic and peoples parties for un.
limited, irredeemable paper money, us
the most serious menace to our fnan-
cial standing and credit that could be
conceived, and appeals to patriotic cit
liens TO promptly meet and defeat 1t.

reprehensible" all efforts 10 array class

masses, section against section, labor
against capital, the POOR against the
rich," or interest against interest lie
considers protection as an issue OF SUI
preme importance and observes that

menace to be feared, we are already
experiencing the effect Of partial free
trnde." The one he would avert; the
other correct
He recommends the immediate re-
storation by congress of the reciprocity
sections OF the tariff law Of 1890, with
such amendments, II any, rs time and
experience sanction rs wise and proper.
The underlying principle OF this legis-
! lation, he declares, should be strictly
observed. This, he explains, is to
afford new markets for our surplus
agricultural and manufactured prod.
ucts without loss TO the American
laborer Of single days work that he
might otherwise procure.
lie discusses foreign immigration

our institutions" or profit by public
disauiet and turmoil. lie favors liberal
pensions for the soldiers ana sailors.
Concerning free coinage he saws.
