SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE

pecial importance in view of the years of the most remarkable ma terial development and prosperity there comes financial stringency and panic and an industrial dL- pression.
 This was brought about not only by the enormous expansion of busi- ness plants and business investments which could not be readily converted, but also by the waste of capital in extravaganza of living. in wars and other catastrophes. The free convertible capital was exhausted. In addition to this, the confidence of the public in Europe and in this country had been affected by the revelations of irregularities, breach of trust, over issue of stock, vio- lations of law and lack of rigid state or national supervision in the management of our largest corpora tions. Investors withheld what loanable capital remained available. It became impossible for the sound est railroads and other enterprises to borrow money enough for new or reconstruction.
 Gradually business is acquiring a healthier tone. Gradually wealth, which was hoarded, is coming out to be used. Confidence in security of business investments is a plant of slow growth, and is absolutely nec- essary in order that our factories may all open again. in order that our unemployed may become em- ployed, and in order that we may again have the prosperity which blessed us for ten years. The identity of the interests of the capitalist and the farmer, the bus mess man and the wage earner in the security and profit of investments cannot be too largely emphasized.
 l submit to those interested, to wage earners, to farmers and to business men, whether the introduc- tion into power of the democratic party with MT. Bryan at its head, and with the business destruction that 1t openly advocates as a reme- dy for present evils, will bring about the needed confidence for the restor- ation of prosperity.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

In addition to this the republican platform recommends the adoption of a postal savings bank system in which, of course, the government would become responsible to the de positors for the payment of principal and interest.
 It is thought that the government guaranty will bring out of hoarding places much money which may be turned into wealth producing capital, and that it will be a great incentive for thrift in the many small places in the country having no savings bank facilities which are reached by the postOffice department. It will bring to everyone, however remote from financial centers, a place of perfect safety for deposits. with in terest returned. The bin now pend ing in congress, which of course the republican convention has in mind, provides for the investment of the money deposited in national banks in the very places in which 1t Is gathered, or as near thereby as may

THE FARMER AND THE REPUB-
 LlCAN PARTY

As the republican platform says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country. One of the strongest hopes of returning prosperity is based on the business which his crops are to afford: He is vitaly interested in the restrain
 ing Of excessive and unduly dis criminating railroad rates, in the en- forcement of the pure food laws, in the promotion of scientific agricul-
 ture and in increasing the corn forts Of country life by the eN- pansion of the free rural deliverY.

REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE c
 PROTECTION

The republican doctrine of pro- tection as definitely announced by the republican convention of this year and by previous conventions, is that a tariff shall be imposed on all imported products whether of the factory, farm or mine, sufficiently great to equal the difference be- tween the cost of production abroad and at home, and that this differ ence should of course, include She difference between the higher wages in this country and the wages paid abroad and embraces a reasonable profit to the American production. A system of production thus adopt ed and put in force has led to the establishment of a rate of wages here that has greatly enhanced the standard of living of the laboring man. It Is the policy of the repub- lican party permanently to continue that standard of living. In 1897 the Dingley tariff bill was passed under which We had as already stated, a nf

TARIFF REVISION

The consequent material develop ment has greatly changed the con ditions under which many articles described by the schedules of the tariff are now produced. The tariff in number of schedules exceeds the difference between the cost of production of such articles abroad and at home, including a reasonable profit to the American producer. The excess over that difference serves no useful purpose, but offers temptation to those who would monopolize the production and the sale of such articles in this country, to profit by the excess rate. On the other hand there are other schedules in which the tariff is not sufficiently high to give the measure of protection which they should receive upon republican principles, and those tariffs should be increased. A revision of the tar if undertaken upon this principle which Is at the base of our present business system begun promptly upon the incoming of the new ad- ministration and considered at the special session with the preliminary investigations already begun by the appropriate committee of the house and senate will make the disturbance to business incident to such a cbappa ne little as pOSSihle

Some Words for a Faithful Friend.

that long without it., but fire.
quehtly he is compelled to. A
gallon or two of water given the
horse about every three hours
when at work during extremely
hot weather helps greatly and is a
whole lot better than having the
thirsty animal overlooking the
stomach with water at feed time.
In this section the streams are
nearly all bridged and horses
driven over roads do not have
the opportunity of drinking at
streams as they formerly did.
During the remainder of the sum-
mer, if you take a long trip, re-
member that the horse is frequent
ly thirsty. Stop occasionally and
put yourself to a little trouble, if
necessary, to give water to him.
And when you stop e to it that
the horse is not left standing in
the hot sunshine. Better for the
horse to do moderate work in ex-
tremely hot weather than it is for
him to stand still IN the sun. 1t
means suffering for the animal to
be left in the sunshine next to a
wall during hot weather. Re-
member that when you hitch your
horse. The Bible does not say

SOCIAL EQUALITY IN THE
{ SOUTH.

Canton, Miss, February.-In its
final report to Judge w. Fl, Potter
the Madison county grand jury
bitterly denounced the white men
who are living with mistresses.
The report is in part as follows:
'SWe find that the disgraceful
vice of white men living with Ne
gro women in unlawful cohabita-
ton has grown to an alarming ey-
tent and threatens our common
wealth with a mongrel lace which
will be a menace to our country.
We find that the various officers of
the law, throughout the country,
and especially the mayor of the
citf of Canton, who especially neg
lecss his duty in this behalf, have
apparently ignored the existence
of this vice, Especially have we
found this to be the case within
the city of Canton, where we find
in many instances the wenches
have been fined by the mayor small
sums and her white paramour
shielded, or let so free, or his name
held out for fear of exposing. him
We condemn this without terms,
and we earnestly recommend that
white men who have Negro women
concubines be dealt with to the
full extent till the vice is broken
up or such undesirable citizens
find it more congenial to seek 9th
er places. We find that the city
of Canton is honeycombed with
white gentlemen" who have their
Negro women or wives, with whom
they reside after night, but because
of insufficient evidence to secure a
conviction we have passed up sew,
eral instances for the consideration
of the next grand jury" Vicks.
