DAVIS ISSUES LETTER
ACCEPTING THE HONOR
Democratic Candidate for Vice PresI-'

Ellrins. w. Va, dispatch: Henry c.
Davis, Democratic nominee for vice
president, has forwarded his letter OF
acceptance to John Sharp Williams.
chairman of the notification commit
tee named by the st. Louis conven-
ton. The letter begins by stating
that the time is ripe for change. 1t
then declares that the expenses OF the
government are too high. mentioning
the army and navy as the principal
sources of national extravaganza. He
denounces the part taken by the Unit
ed States forces in securing the inde-
pendence OF Panama. He nevertheless
applauds the progress made In get-
ting the canal under way.
Touching the tariff. he declares that
the duty is too high on many articles.
He declares that steel rails made
in this country are being sold in the
United States for $2S ton and in for
eign countries for SIS ton. This.
he says, is great injustice to the
people--or to the consumers OF steel
rails. He believes that the consum-
ers of steel rails can be relieved by
tho Democratic party If 1t gets into
power.
AS to trusts, he says there are zoo
of them. but that all of them are not
pernicious and strike breeding. He
declares that most of them have
grown up since the Democratic party
was relieved OF power in 1897
In discussing self government, he
asserts that the sovereignty of respec-
tive states should not be encroached
upon by the national government and
that race hatred is manufactured by
the Republican party.
He strongly indorses The Hague
tribunal and says it will work for the
Worlds peace.
The postal frauds are taken up at
some length and the candidate de-
clares It his belief that congress adj
journed so as to shut off further in
quiry into the charges affecting the
Southwestern land Offices.
Referring to civil service, he ac-
cuses Republican offlce-holders gener-
ally of doing campaign work while
under pay OF the people for doing the
peoples work. He winds up his let
ter with a brief tribute to Judge
Parker.

SECRETARY SHAW
\ CHANGES LABELS
Modifies His Previous Order
in Regard to Stamp on
Imported Cigars.
NEW ISSUE ON BOX BOTTOMS
Domestic Trade to Be Protected py
Placing the Stamp Out Of Sight, the
Color Being Made Less conspicu-
Gus.

Washington dispatch: Secretary OF
The Treasury Shaw has reached de-
clsion in the cigar customs stamp
ease, which was taken up on account
Of the complaint of the American To-
pacco company and other big import
ers of foreign cigars, who claimed
that the recent order abolishing the
prominent green stamps injured their
business. The decision has not been
made public, but 1t is understood to
be in the way of compromise.
The original order abolishing the
big green stamps on the faces OF the
boxes was made because OF repre-
sensations of manufacturers or do
nestle cigars to the effect that the
importers were using the stamp as a
trademark and that the government
was being used to foist the business
OF these importers to the detriment
of home industry. The resulting or
der substituted brown stamp, which
was to be pasted out OF sight on the
bottom OF the boxes.
Shaw Makes Statement.
The change brought forth a great
cry from the importers, who claimed
that the government was injuring
their business to an unwarranted ex-
tent. Secretary Shaw, while declin-
ing to make public the new order,
gave out statement concerning the
case.
"The testimony establishes the
fact" he said. that the present stamp
is used as a trademark by the cigar
importers; that this trademark ia val
liable to them and confers an advan-
tage upon them as against the manu-
facturers OF cigars in the United
Stu. = ,..s-fru- that cigarsnsa0 in effect,
the only commodity imported into the
United States that receives the bene.
fit OF such a trademark.
Stamp Gives Advantage.
''In view of the fact that this gov
eminent stamp. in it's present form,
undoubtedly gives a pecuniary advan.
tage TO those using IL, it seems that
the order already issued by the depart.
ment is, in its essence, proper. The
governments business is to collect the
revenue and to provide so far as pos.
sible against fraud. but 1t is not the
governments business to furnish a
guaranty in the form OF trademark
for the benefit of the goods. This
should be left in the tobacco business
exactly as It is in all other business.
"The result Of the decision will pro.
tect the domestic manufacturer from
customs stamp, available as an adj
vertisement, and II protects the i'm.
porter also by giving him a stamp
OF a distinctive color. which can be
seen by the purchaser IL he cares to
make examination"
Will Make New Plates.
The secretary has given orders that
new plates be prepared for printing
the stamps and for placing upon the
boxes of imported cigars, In accord
ance with this decision.
While the secretary was away from
Washington Acting Secretary Taylor
conducted a complete hearing, taking
the testimony OF both sides. Reports
of these proceedings were forwarded
to Secretary Shaw. On his return he
took up the case and after a consulta
ton with the president rendered his
decision.
