Fe leral taxation. Kucli legislation, results as pie as the tribute paid directly into the hands of the tax-gatherer. We feel the burden of surely in a tax upon the (tally lite of our peo- is jtatherer. We fe. these tariff taxes too palpably to be per­ suaded by any sophistry that they do not ex­ ist or are paid by foreigners. Such taxes, representing a diminution of the property rights of the people, are only Justifi­ able when laid and collected for the purpose of maintaining our. government and furnishing the means tot the accomplishment of its legiti­ mate purposes and function! This is taxa­ tion under the operation of a tariff for revenue. It accords with the profession! of American free institutions and its justice and honesty an­ swer the test supplied by a correct apprecia­ tion of the principles upon which these insti­ tutions rest. This theory of tariff legislation manifestly enjoins strict economy in public expenditures and their limitation to legitimate public usee, inasmuch ss it exhibits as absolute extortion any exaction, by way of taxation, from the substance of the people beyond the necessities of a careftd and proper administration of gov­ ernment. Opposed to this theory the dogma is now boldly presented that tariff taxation is justi­ fiable for the express purpose and intent of thereby promoting especial Interests and en­ terprises. Such a proposition is BO clearly contrary to the spirit of our Constitution, and so directly encourages the disturbance by selfishness and greed of patriotic sentiment, that its statement would rudely shock our people if they had not already been insidiously allured from the safe landmarks of principle. Never have honest desire for national growth, •patriotic devotion to country and sincere re- fard for those who toll been so betrayed to he support of a pernicious doctrine. In its behalf the plea that our infant indus­ tries should be fostered did service until dis­ credited by our stalwart growth; then followed the exigencies of a terrible war, which madS our people heedless of the opportunities for ulterior schemes afforded by the willing and patriotic payment of unprecedented tribute; and now, after a long period of peace,'when our overburdened countrymen ask for relief and a restoration to a tuller enjoyment of their incomes and earnings, they are met by the claim that tariff taxation for the sake of protection is an American system, the con­ tinuance of which is necessary in order that high wages may be paid to our workingmen xket' -- - pj o tacts, and ft, home market be provided for our farm These pretenses should no longer deceive. The truth is that such a system Is directly antagonized by every sentiment of justice and fairness of which Americans are pre-eminently proud. It is also true that while our working- men and farmers can the least of all our people defend themselves against the harder home life which suoh tariff taxation decrees, the worklngman snfferlng from the importation end employment of pauper labor, Instigated by his professed Meads, and seeking security for his Interests in organised co-operation, still waits for a division of the advantages 'as­ sured to his employei; under cover of a gener­ ous solicitude for Ids wages, while the farmer 1B learning that the prices of bis products are fixed in foreign markets, where he suffers from a competition Invited and built up by the sys­ tem he is asked to support. The struggle for unearned advantage at the doors of the government tramples on the rights of those who patiently rely upon as­ surances of American equality. Every gov­ ernmental concession to clamorous favorites Invlteii corruption in political affairs by en­ couraging the expenditure of money to de­ bauch suffrage in support of a policy directly favorable to private and selfish gain. This in the end mast strangle patriotism and weaken, popular confidence in the reotitnde of republi­ can institutions. Though the subject of tariff legislation in­ volves a question of markets, it also Involves ft question of morals. We cannot with im­ punity permit injustice to taint the spirit of fight and equity, which is the life of our re­ public; and we shall fall to reach our national dest iny if greed and selfishness lead the way. Recognizing these truths, the National De­ mocracy will week by the application of Just and sound principles to equalize to our people the blessings due them from the government they support, to promote among our country­ men & closer community of Interests, cement­ ed by patriotism and national pride, and to point out a fair field where prosperous and di­ versified American enterprise may grow aad thrive in the wholesome atmosphere of Ameri­ can industry, ingenuity and intelligence. Tariff reform Is still our purpose. Though we oppose the theory that tariff laws may be passed having for tnelr object tbe granting of discriminating and unfair aid to private ven­ tures, we wage no exterminating, war against tiny American interests. We believe a read­ justment OS.B. be accomplished in accordance with the principles we profess without die' aster or demolition. We 1 eve that the ad- •JSt .36 .63 .09 vantages of freer rear material should be ac­ corded to our manufacturers, and we contem­ plate a fair and eareftal distribution of neces­ sary tariff burdens rather than the preciplt^ tion of free trade. We anticipate with calmness the misrepre­ sentations of our motives and purposes insti­ gated by a selfishness which seeks to hold in unrelenting1 grasp its unfair advantage under 1 r -sent tariff laws. We will rely upon the In­ telligence of our fellow countrymen to rejeot the charge that a party comprising a majority of our ix»ple is p'.annlng the destruction or injury of Amerlo«n interests, and we know they cannot be frightened by the specter of impossible free trade. 1 be administration and management of our government depend upon popular will. Fed­ eral power is the instrument of that will --not its master. Therefore the attempt of the opponents of Democracy to inter­ fere with and control the suffrage of the States through Federal agencies develops a design, which no explanation can mitigate, to reverse the fundamental and safe relations between the people and their govern­ ment. Kuch an attempt caunot fail to be re­ garded by thoughtful men as proof of a bold determination to secure the ascendency of a discredited party in reckless disregard of a free expression of the popular will. To resist snch a scheme is an Impulse of democracy. At all times and in all places we trupt the people. As against the disposition to force the way to federal power, we present to them as our claim to their confidence and support a steady championship of their rights. The people are entitled to sound and honest money, abundantly sufficient In volume to supply their business needs. But whatever may be the form of the people's currency, na- j tlonal or State--whether gold, silver or paper- it should be so regulated and guarded by gov- and careful presented which do not satisfy this test taral Americans must pronounce them false m& misohievons. The protection of the people in the.exelnsive use ana enjoyment of their property and earn­ ings conceded!;,- constitutes the especial pur­ pose and mission of our free government. i eaovER aivEum. rjanediaSlt bowo vet, bŝ oonstaatiy naaeaabfyed that -- inconventeaoe OR lest that adm arise from such a situation oaa fe much easier borne than the naivetes! distress which. *aast follow a dis­ credited eweney. Publio eflraals are the agents of the people. It la therefore their duty to secure for those whom Uw? represent the beat awl most effi­ cient performance of pablfe work. This plainly pan be best aeooawushed by regarding ascer­ tained fitness In the selection of Government employes. These considerations alone am suSelent Justification tat an honest alheienoe to the letter ana spirit of civil-service reform. There are, however, other features of this plan which abundantly commend it. Through its operation worthy merit la every station and condition of Amerlean life is reoo«nl*ed in the distribution of publto employment, while its application tenda to raise the standard of political activity from spoils-hunting and un­ thinking party affiliation to the advocacy of party principles by reason and argument. ̂The American people are generous aad grate­ ful. and they have impressed these character­ istics upon their government. Therefore, all patriot to and Just citizens must commend lib- end consideration for our worthy veteran sol­ diers and for the families of those who have died. No complaint should be made of the amount of public money paid to those actually disabled or made dependent by reason of army servloe. But our pension roll shonld.be a roll of honor, uncontamlnated by ill-desert, and tin- vitiated by demagogio use. This is due to those whose worthy names adorn the roll and to all our people who delight to honor the brave and tne true. It is also due to those In yean to come that they should bear reverently and lovingly tbe story of American patriotism Mad fortitude illustrated by our pension roll. The preferences aocorded to veteran soldiers to publio employment shonld be secured to them honestly and without evasion, and, when eapabie and worthy, their claim to the helnfnl regard and gratitude of their countrymen Should be ungrudgingly acknowledged. The assurimee to the neople of the utmost Individual liberty consistent with peace and good order is a cardinal principle of our gov­ ernment. This gives no sanction to vexatious sumptuary laws, which unncessHrily taterfare with such habits and customs of our people as are not offensive to a just moral sense and are not inconsistent with good citizenship and the publio welfare. The same principle requires that the line between the subjects whlsh are nroperly within governmental control and those which are more fittingly left to parental regulation should be carefnily Kept in view. An enforced education, wisely deemed a proper preparation for oitissnsbijp, should not • Involve the impairment of wholesome parental authority nor do violence to the household oonscience. Paternalism in government finds no approval to the creed of Democracy. It is S symptom of misrule, whether it is mani­ fested in unauthorised gifts or by an unwar­ ranted control of personal and family affairs. Our people, still cherishing the feeling of human fellowship which belonged to our be­ ginning as a nation, require their Government to express for them their sympathy with all ti»fw<* whe sic cppvctmvu uuder any rule less free than ours. A generous hospitality, which is one of the most prominent of our national characterist­ ics, prompts us to welcome the worthy and in­ dustrious of all lands to homes and citizenship among us. This hospitable sentiment ie not violated, however, by careful and reasonable regulations for the protection of the public health, nor does it Justify the reception of im­ migrants who have no appreciation of our in­ stitutions and whose presence among us is a menace to peace and good order. The importance of the construction of the Nicaragua ship een&l ao a. means of promoting commerce between our States and with for­ eign countries, and also us a contribution by Americans to the enterprises which advance the interests of the world of civilisation, should commend the project to governmental approval and indorsement. Our countrymen not only expect from those who represent them in publio places a sedulous, care for the things which are di- to their material reotly and palpably related interests, but they also fu value of cultivating onr 1 fully appreciate the ing onr national pride and maintaining bur national honor. Both their materiel interests and their national pride and honor are involved in the success of the Columbian Exposition, and they will not be Inclined to condone any neglect of •.effort on the part of their government to insure, in the grandeur of this event, a fitting exhibit of American growth and greatness and a splendid demonstration of American patriotism- In an lnperfect and incomplete manner 1 have thus endeavored te state some of the things which aceoidwlththe creed and inten­ tions of the party to which I hare given my lifelong allegiance. My attempt has not betu to instruct my countrymen or my party, but t o remind both that Democratic doctrine lies near the principles of our Government, and tends to promote the people's good. I am willing to be accused of addressing my countrymen upon trite topics and in homely fashion, for I believe that important truth's are found on the surface of thought and that they should be stated In direct and simple terms. Though much i» left unwritten, my record as a public servant leaves no excuse for misunderstanding my belief and position on the questions which are now presented to the voters of the land toi their decision. Called for the third time to represent the party of my choice in a contest for the suprem­ acy of Democratic principles, my grateful ap­ preciation. oi Its confidence, less than ever, effaces the solemn sense of my responsibility. IS the actios of the convention you repre­ sent shall be Indorsed by the suffrages of my countrymen, 1 will assume the duties of the great office for which I have been nominated, knowing full well its labors and perplexities, and witn humble reliance upon the Divine Be­ ing, infinite in power to aid and constant in a watchful care over our favored nation. Yours, very truly, . Osovxa CLBV&I«4K1>. ernmental action, or by wise WEAVER WILL NOT SPEAK. Ha Says There Is No Such Thing «s Free Speech In Georgia. An Atlanta, Ga., special says: J. B. Weaver will not fill any more of his ap­ pointments in Georgia. This conclusion he makes known in the following letter after naming his appointments: - I find the spirit of organised rowdyism at some of the points visited within the State so great as to render it unadvisable for me to at- tempt to fill the engagements at the points not already reached. Personal indignity was threatened at Way Cross, but was suppressed by the attendance of a large number of out friends. ,A'U Albany we met with a howling mob, whits* refused to accord us a respectful and uninterrupted hearing. Our meeting at Columbus WM a grand suooess. At Macon the conduct of the mob was simply disgrace­ ful beyond description. Rotten eggs were thrown, prior to the introduction of the speaker, one of which struck Mrs. Weavet upon the head. Eggs were thrown repeatedly during the continuance of the meeting. Tur­ bulent crowds continued to howl and hoot un­ til past midnight. At Atlanta a similai crowd of rowdies gathered at the point oi meeting, bent on tumult and disorder. Learn­ ing of this • Mrs. Lease and myself refused tc appear either in the forenoon or evening. 1 am convinced that similar treatment awaita us at the points not yet visited. 1 decline tc meet said appointments. In conclusion Gen. Weaver says the noise comes fiom young roughs, and not from ex-Confederate soldiers. He says little effort is made to protect hie meetings. Five thousand persons gatherel at the State Capitol to hear "Weaver. Af­ ter an address by Gov. Northen urg'ng good order, a committee was sent 10 Mr. Weaver to come, but he declined, saying: "I have been treated with too much indignity already." He declared that there was no free speech in the South, notwithstanding the fact that the audience assured him a respectful hear­ ing. To this was added assurance ot Gov. Northen and Chairman Atkins, ot the State Demo ratio Co nailttee, that he would have a fa r hearing. Nutmeg In Polsomra*. Caees are not infrequently reported in which children, and sometimes grown persons, are poisoned by the free use of nutmegs, it not being generally known that this article of common household use is really a deadly poison. This is true, in fact, of most common condi­ ments; but the misuse of these articles, suc-h as pepper, capsicum, etc., is so ob­ noxious to the taste, except when taken in very minute quantities, that the con­ sumer is warned in a very positive manner before he has had an opportun­ ity to do himself serious injury. This is not the case, however, with nutmeg. This nut, which contains a poisonous principle of a very deadly character, may be consumed without inconven­ ience In quantities sufficient to produce fatal consequences; and it is surpris­ ing, not that d»ath occasionally occurs from its use, but that deaths ate not more frequent. A fatal case has been recently reported, in which a boy of 8 years fell into a comatose condition after eatlrtg two nutmegs, and died within twelve hours. Labo#' _ W** in NS »«w York ^irtLidh the 4MB- report ot tho effect r MM Wages. Mr.!

Hence no call upon him for tho basis of his reports should be honored. The ease went over until a later date. The affidavits on which the mandamus Is asked were made public at tbe insti­ tution of this proceeding at Kingston some time ago, tfnd allege a demand by the relator to see the circulars; that they are public papers, and that his de­ mand was refused. feck Make* Affidavit. , Mr. Meegan read an affidavit of Mr. Peck, in which he said: The law* really specified no details for tha performance of my duties or the method to be pursued in- obtaining the information it was designed to secure lor the Legislature of the State. In order to obtain the information re­ quired to make annual reports It was neces­ sary that I should obtain the confidence of both employer and employe, the business men and the laboring people of the State. >t the very outset I was obliged to make a rule, pub­ licly announced by me, that all information was to be received ir» confidoucc as to all correspondents and informants, and no names of persons, employes or employers, except by express permission, should, appear In any department report or be otherwise given either to individuals or the public, and that no paper containing or relating to information received or used by me in discharge of the duties of my office should ever be placed on lile In my office or be made a matter of record, or be considered other than the private property Of the commissioner for the protection of the aenders of communications, and I have never considered it my duty to preserve the same. Every time I sent out circulars asking for infonuation I invariably gave pledges of se­ crecy to my correspondents, and have done so annually. The practice pursued by me in l8iK> and 18!H was no departure from the uniform course of prior years. 1 found in the law cre­ ating my office provision authorizing me to ex­ amine witnesses, but with the condition that no "witness shall, against his will, be com­ pelled to answer any questions respecting his private affairs." This restriction rendered it practically impossible to give effect to the in­ tent of the Legislature unless the confidence of the people of the State could be secured and retained and their private affairs voluntarily disoloaed. Repeated refusals came to me from businesa qien, and besides the circulars sent out each year I have written and sent thou­ sands of lettera giving personal assurances to the writers that 110 use w oald be made of their confidence, and every communication would be held to be sacred and denied to any one, in­ cluding rivals in the same branch of industry. By such legitimate means and by suoh honor­ able pledges only have I been able te dls< charge the responsible dutiea of my office and to render to the Legislature the date annually transmitted to it im my annual report. In twenty-seven States ot the Union that have labor bureaus it has been found neces­ sary to give to all peiapns the pledge of se­ curity and confidence given by me during the several years of my official life. These pledges relate to and cover caMs of employers and em­ ployes ane labor organizations. The sum­ mary which was ibsued by me in 18»2, and about which the proceedings have arisen, was Issued and published by me at the time usual for the publication of reports of other State officers, and about the same time I have pub­ lished my report every othc r year, and every £ear Ik which I have made up a report to the legislature I invariably published beforehand in or about Auarn«t of each year a summary as I have published ki 1892, I have not deviated from the usual course and practice of my of­ fice, nor have T in 18K2 departed from sny cus­ tom of my office with respect to my report. Tho attempt made to establish the theory that my report was given out to influence the pending election is false, as the compilations were all made before any Democratic nomina­ tion was made, and the data were obtained be­ fore any one could tell who the nominees of any party would be. The communication* and letters upon which my preceding annual reports were based were never filed nor made a record in 'toy office and were never the property of the State, but were private let torts, and whatever property exists in them 1s divided between this deponent 33 the receiver and the several senders of the let­ ters, and I am advised by my counsel that under the decision of Woolsey vs. Judd and Duer, 379, and other kindred cases, injunction would lie against me if I attempted in any way to make public the matter that 1 guaranteed should be private matter and held as secret and confidential As (ihe head of the department in question I am of the opinion and so represent to this honorable court that the publication of the names and addresses ot the persons and corporations who have furnished data upon which my report; is based, would be greatly in­ jurious to the public Interests.

A., large part of the corn crop has already ||| been cut, and grain in fields is now con- | sidered safe from Injury by frosts, which| have^howevei* caused some damage to corn and vegetables in the lowlands of yyf Northern New York, and slight damage' was done in Northern Illinois. So far; this season the injury from frost hae been comparatively slight. Precipitation--More than the usual; amount of rain has fallen from the up-, per Ohio valley southeastward to the Atlantic coast, over portions of the lake region, and on the north Pacific coasts and in the Carolinas, eastern Georgia, and all the north Pacific coast the rain­ fall was very heavy. In New England,. Along the middle Atlantic coast, in the. Gulf States, thence throughout the Mis­ sissippi and Missouri valleys, and thence westward, with the exception of the north Pacific coast, the rainfall was be­ low the average, and to the westward of the Mississippi but little or no rain has- fallen during the week. Oeneral Crop* Secured. Warm, dry weather in the central valleys and Northwest has been gen­ erally favorable for securing crops. Moderate rains would be beneficial for fall plowing and seeding. Following are- the special telegraphic reports: Missouri--All interests, and especial­ ly pasturage, demand good rain. Illinois--Frost in three northern coun«- ties slightly injured outstanding corn;. on low ground early corn being cut; plowing for fall grain retarded by dry ground in southern portion. Indiana--Wheat seeding nearly com­ pleted; corn ripening rapidly; nearly- safe from frost. Michigan--Most crops harvested. Wisconsin--Corn mostly cut and fair crop; winter wheat above ground, in good condition, and acreage above aver­ age. Minnesota--Corn safe and being out; good crop. IOWtt_Corn practically beyond danger from frost; crop below ayerage. North Dakota -- Fine weather for thrashing and ripening of corn. South Dakota--Corn beyond, danger from frosts.
