Gold STANDARD.
The convention very properly declared
il Ito &c the duty Of the Republican
party to uphold the gold standard. 80
There is no more important duty than
to maintain the stability and the char
acter Of tn money Of the people Their
manifold exchanges should be effected
in n currency as free from blemish as
the national integrity. The Republican
party has been essentially the guardian
Of the financial credit of the country
and the steadfast supporter of a sound
currency. 1t has maintained the ma
tional credit and preserved the sound
ness of our monetary system against
persistent and powerful opposition.
Party of Silver.
The money question has seemed to be
settled at various times, but the contest
has been revived by the eneni les Of
sound money whenever they have
thought that they might be sUcce ssful.
We should not relax our vigilance in
UNFOLDING the integrity of our currency
so long as n considerable element of our
cOunLrymen are at war with it. When
Democratic candidates cannot hope to
win preferment in a national conven-
ton without indUstriousiy concealing
their monetary views, and when Demo
cratic national and State conventions
dare not declare their faith in the virtue
Of the gold standard. the hour has not
arrived when the forces of sound money
should disband and leave the field.
We not only established the gold
standard, but we provided such safe
guards as viii maintain our silver and
paper currency at a parity with it. But
all of this may be changed at any time
by hostile Congress, or endangered
by an unfriendly Secretary Of the Treas
Ury. Our past experience warns us that
it is only a question of time when those
who are always opposed to a sound mon
etary policy will again seek TO over
throw e.
The Republican convention did well not
only to pledge anew our fidelity 20 the
gold standard, but TO declare its purpose
to uphold the integrity and value Of
our national currency; there should be
no equivOcat ton or doubt as TO our in
flexible purpose, not only TO maintain
the gold standard. but to keep all silver

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 22.-The letter
Of acceptance Of Senator Charles w.
Fairbanks was made public last night.
The letter is as follows:
The hon. Elihu Root, Chairman Of
Notification Committee.
My Dear Sir: In accordance with the
promise made when you formally noti-
lied me of my nomination for Vice
President. ] avail myself of this OPP
portunity to submit to you. and through
YOU, to my fellow-ciuzens, some fur
Their views with respect to the questions
in issue before the people.
The principles which are so frankly
and felicitousiy expressed in the plat
form adopted by the Republican Ma
tional Convention meet with my heart
lest approval In the main they have
been subjected to the test of actual ex-
perience and have been found to be
well suited to our industrial and ma
tional needs. They have brought us to
a high state of material development,
and have made the nations name re-
spected among the powers Of the earth.
Administrative Capacity.
The utterances of political parties
must be interpreted in the light of that
practical construction which they have
put upon them when lnJruSUed with
power. 1t is not alone what they say,
but what they Will do which should
weigh in determining their capacity to
administer public affairs.
We have had two administrations in
the last seven years which have been
governed by the same policies. We
may consult the trade reports in vain
TO discover when the one ended and
the other began. Both were obliged to
make vast expenditures for much-need-
cd public works. The rapidly expanding
needs of the Government business must
be met The national equipment must
keep pace with our national growth, yet
slways with due regard to the principles
Of sound economy in public expenditure.
We have pursued no parsimOnious pol
icy on the one hand, nor INDUCED in
extravagan on the other. We have
measured the public expense by the pub
lie necessity.

Revision and Reduction
A Waqe-EaTneTS' Problem

A revision and reduction by those who
regard the tariff as a robbery must
awaken serious apprehension among all
whose capital is employed or who are
engaged at labor in the various enter
prises throughout the country, which
depend in large measure upon the main
tenance of the protective system A re
vision of the tariff along revenue lines
means the increased importation of the
products Of foreign manufacture which
come into competition with our do
nestle production. 1t means loss to
the American wage earners. and to
American capital. This is, therefore.
rot a theoretical question which Is pre-
scented to them. but is one of imme-
date and practical moment. 1t can be
settled by them. and by them only.
History abundantly shows that the
greatest industrial development of the
country has occurred during the period
when the protective tariff has been
maintained. and that during this time
labor has received its largest rewards
and capital has been most prontabley en-
gagged.
National Development.
The development Of the country dur
ing the last forty-four years is a com
plete vindication Of the virtue and eff
cacy Of a protective system. Its benefits
have been diffused through all sections
Of the country and among all our people
It has enlarged our home market until
it has become the greatest in the world
This we should not unnecessarily sur
render. We have believed it to be a
wise national policy TO preserve the
American market for American produc-
ers and so secure to our wOrkingmen an
increased wage scale.
In 1860 the value Of our exports and
manufactures was $40, 345, S92. Twenty
years later II was s1O2, $50, 0l5, and last
year 1852. AS 500. The pretensiOn Of its
opponents that the protective tariff is
inconsistent with the extension of our
foreign commerce is thus denied by act

Past Experiences.
In considering the effect Of the respec-
tive tariff policies of the Republican and
Democratic parties, we are fortunately
able to consult past experience. What
IA revenue tariff will accomplish we
know, for we have hitherto seen how
it has arrested industrial development
and embarrassed enterprise to the in
jury Of both labor and capital. Neither
escapes it's blighting effects.

ciples of protection" has long been

Antitrust Prosecutions
Under Republican Party

The Administration has enforced the
Sherman antitrust act, which was of
Republican origin, in cases where COM
binations have been formed in violation
of its provisions. The law, which was
regarded as ineffective by a Democratic
Administration. has been invoked by the
President against combinations in re
straint of wholesale commerce, and it
has been upheld by the courts.
The Congress last year enacted a law
to expedite the hearing and determine
ton of suits arising under the anti
trust and interstate commerce acts, so
that the ends of justice might not be
defeated by delay. 1t created the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, with
authority 10 obtain necessary lnforma-
ton with respect to the creation and
operation Of corporations engaged in in

Safeguarding Industry.
The Democratic party has done moth
ing toward safeguarding legitimate IN
tereStS ana restraining CohDlla IAoii9 eA-
fected for extortion or other improper
purposes. It proposes as a principal
remedy for unjust combinations to re
move the tariff from trust-made goods,
thereby inviting the foreign producer to
occupy our home market IN an attempt
assumed that the sO-called trusts are
to regulate cur own industries 1t has
assumed that the so-called trusts are
either created or fostered by the tariff.
The assumption is fallaciOus. Trusts
are found in free trade countries and
they control commodities in this cOun-

and rational. It does not strike down
good and bad alike. It invokes the au-

Prompt Action

When the insurrection occurred upon
the isthmus the President safeguarded
American interests. He acted prompt y
but deliberately: prudently. not rashly (;
firmly not unlawfully. He usurped no
authority. He only exercised that eS-
ecutive power which is clearly vested in
him by the Constitution. and which his
predecessors had employed under SINH
lar circumstances II he had failed to
appreciate our rights, or to act promptly
and firmly, blood would have been shed
and the rights Of American citizens
would have been sacrificed, and the con-
struCtion Of the canal would have been
indefinitely delayed
The President in due time appointed
a commission composed OF eminent en-
gineers and men Of practical experience
TO undertake the work Of constructing
the canal as speedily as piCtiCable
There IS no longer any doubt or uncer-

Gold Standard Is Not

The assumption that the gold stand
ard is ''irrevOcably established" does vi
olence to the law. 1t was established
by an act of Congress. but the Congress
may alter. amend or repeal that act az
any time. 1t is no more irrevocably es-
tablished than are our tariff schedules

Future Exigencies.

II in the future the cxigencies of
business, which no wisdom can now
foresee. should make additional mono
tary or financial legislation advisable.
the Republican party may be trusted
70 enact it along rational lines.
The Presidents course ia Panama
merits the most generous approval.
He dealt with a delicate and difficult
situation clearly within our national
rights in such a way as to make pos
sible the early completion OF an 18th
milan canal which has long been de-
manded in the interest of our COM
merce and national defense.
He concluded the negotiations with
Great Britain for the abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. He negotiated
a treaty with the republic of Colombia
for the requisite rights and franchises
for the construction and operation OF a
canal. Its ratification was contemptu-
ously refused by the Colombian govern
ment. Thcreupon the people of Panama
renowned their allegiance to the parent
government and declared their indie
pendence. The President, acting within
the limits Of his executive authority and
in conformity with well established
precedent. promptly recognized their in
dependence. He negotiated a treaty
with Panama, whereby the United
States obtained the necessary rights
and franchises for building and oper-
ating a canal.
