PARKER'S LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE ISSUED.
ContInued From Page One.

among many others. the people demand
reform Of these abuses and such reform
demands and should receive immediate at
tention.
The two leading parties have always Diff
Tered as to the principle of customs taxa
ton. Our party has always advanced the
theory that the object is the raising o:
revenue for support OF the Government.
whatever other results may incidentally
now therefrom. The Republican party.
on the other hand. contends that customs
duties should be levied primarily for pro-
lection. so-called. with revenue as the sub
ordinate purpose. thus using the power OF
taxation to build up the business and
property OF the few al the expense of the
many.
This difference Of principle still subsists
but our party appreciates that the long
continued policy of the country. as mani
Tested In its statutes. makes IL necessary
that tariff reform should be prudently
and sagaciously undertaken on scientific
principles, to the end that there should
not be an immediate revolution in existing
conditions.
"a revision and gradual reduction Of the
tarin by the trends of the masses and for
the common veal, and not by the friends
of its abuses its extortions and discrimi-
nations.
In my response to your committee I
pointed out the methods under which a
gradual reduction of customs duties may
te accomplished without disturbing busi-
ness conditions. 1 desire again to express
the opinion that this method should be
followed.
1t is true that the Republicans. who do
not admit in their platform that the
Dingley tariff needs the slightest altera-
tion, are likely to retain a majority Of the
Federal Senate throughout the next presi-
DENTAL term, and could, therefore, II they
chose. block every attempt at legislative
relief. But II should be remembered that
the Republican party includes many re-
visionists, and l believe 1t will shrink
from defying the popular will expressed
Enthusiastically and peremptorily at the
ballot box.
The people demand reform OF existing
conditions Since the last Democratic ad-
ministration the cost of living has griev-
ously increased. Those having fixed in
comes have suffered keenly; those living
on wages. IL there has been any increase
know that such Increase has not KEEP:
pace with the advance in the cost of liy-
ing. including rent, and the ncccssarics
of life. Many to-day are out Of work, IN
able to secure any wages at all To ale
viate these conditions. in so far as Is in
our power. should be our earnest en-

Whether there IS any common law
which can be applied and enforced by
the Federal courts cannot be determined
by the President or by candidate for
the presidency.
The determination Of this question was
left by the people in framing the Cons;i-

RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS.

A vast expanse OF country In the West,
portions Of which are to be found in each
of the sixteen States and Territories
mentioned in the Law. is directly affected
by the national Statute-the outcome of
intelligent and persistent efforts of Lead
Ing citizens. providing for the reclamation
or the arid lands for the benefit of home-
seekers. During the years OF the devel-
opment OF the measure which finally re-
ceived the vote of every member Of the
upper house OF Congress- II encountered
the view that the aim Of its promoters
was TO secure the benefits OF Irrigation to
private owners at Government expense
The aim OF the statute Is. however TO en-
able this vast territory To reclaim its arid
lands without calling upon the taxpayers
Whether the purposes OF the Dill will be
fully accomplished must depend in large
measure upon the ability, xobriety OF
Judgment. independence and honesty of
the officers OF the Interior Department
having this great work in charge.
In 1902 the main canals and bitches in
the region affected aggregated more than
5s.sS miles. and the work of reciamat ticn
Is but IN Its infancy. The total cost of
construction OF the necessary headgate~
dams. main canals. bitches, reservoirs and
pumping stations was at that time a little
over ss3.coo.coo which Of itself suggests
the hundreds Of millions that may eventu-
by the statute The magnitude of the
conception and the enormous expense its
carrying out involves make US realize
the overwhelming Importance OF a broad
capable and honest administration of the
work authorized by the statute IL effect
is TO be given to that part OF the plan
that relieves the country at large from
