The Present System of Unjust Tax ation AVill Never Renefit Work, ingmeii, Nor Can Farmers Thrive tinder Its Operations. Columbus, Ohio, October 15. Fol lowing is Jucrge Thurman's letter of acceptance: Columbus, Ohio, October 14, 1888. Hon. Pateick A. Collins and others. Committee Gentlemen : In obedience to custom, I send you this formal acceptance of my nomination for the office of Vice-President of the United States, made by the National Convention of the Democratic party at St. Louis. When you did me the honor to call upon me at Columbus and omcially notify me of my nomination, I expressed to you my sense of obligation to the convention, and stated that, although I had not sought the nomination, I did not feel at liberty, under the circumstances to decline it. I thought then, as. I still think, that whatever I could properly do to promote the election of President Cleveland I ought to do. His Administration has been marked with such integrity, good sense, manly courage and exalted patriotism that a just ap preciation of these high qualities seems to call for his re-election I am strongly impressed with the belief that his re-election would powerfully tend to strengthen THAT FEELING OF FEATEENITT Among the American people" that is so essential to tneir weiiare, peace and happiness, and to the perpetuity of the Union and of our free institu tions. I approve the platform of the St. Louis Convention, and I can not too strongly express my dissent from the Heretical teacnings oi tne monopo lists that the welfare of a people can be promoted by a system of exorbi tant taxation far in excess of the wants of the Government, The idea that a people can be en riched by heavy and unnecessary tax ation, that a man's condition can be improved by taxing him on all he wears, on all his wife and children wear, on all his tools and implements of industry, is an obvious absurdity. To fill the vaults of the Treasury with an idle surplus for which the uov ernment has no legitimate use, and to therefore deprive the people of currency .... NEEDED FOB THEIE BUSINESS And daily wants, and to create a pow erful and dangerous stimulus to ex travagance and corruption in the ex penditures of the Government, seems to me to be a policy at variance with every sound principle of Government and of political economy. The necessity of reducing taxation to prevent such an accumulation of surplus revenue and the consequent depletion of the circulating medium is so apparent that no party dares to deny it; but when we come to con sider the modes by which the reduc tion may be made we find a wide an tagonism between our party and THE MONOPOLISTIC LEADERS Of our political opponents. We seek to reduce taxes upon the necessaries of life; our opponents seek to increase them. We say, give to the masses of the people cheap and good clothing, cheap blankets, cheap tools and cheap lumber. The Republicans, by their latform and their leaders in the lenate by their proposed bill, say, in crease the taxes on the clothing and blankets, and thereby increase their cost; MAINTAIN A HIGH DUTY On the tools of the farmer and me chanic, and upon the lumber which they need for the construction of their modest dwellings, shops and barns, and thereby prevent their ob taining their necessaries at reasona ble prices. Can any sensible man doubt as to where he should stand in this contro versy? Can any well-informed man be deceived by the false pretense that a system so unreasonable and uniust is for the benent of laboring men? Much is said about competition of American laborers with the pauper labor, of Europe ; but does not every man who looks around him see and know, that an immense majority of the laborers in America are not en gaged in what are called the protect ed industries? And as to those who are employed in such industries is it not undeniable tnat the duties pro posed by the Democratic measure called the Mills bill far exceeded the differences between American and European wages, and that therefore, if it were admitted that our working men can be protected by tariffs against cheaper labor, they would be fully protected and more than pro tected by that bill?. Does not every well-iniormed man know that tho increase in price home manufactures, produced by high tariff, does not go into the pock ets of laboring men, but only tend to swell the profits of others? It seems to mo that if the policy o: the Democratic party is plainly pre sented, all must understand that we seek to make the cost of living less, and at the same time increase the share of the laboring man in the ben efits of National prosperity and growth. I am, very respectfully, your obe dient servant, Allen G. Thtjrman. When the Kev. Dr. Burchard reads Bob Ingersoll's free whisky remarks. Blaine's speech on trusts, and Foster'; letter on manufacturers' fat, he about comes to the conclusion that this year the Grand Old Party is suffering from something vastly more destructive than three big R's. WASHINGTON LETTER. Btcpultlican Senators Regret Putting Coal on tlae Free list. American Goods and manufactures Sold Cheaper in Canada Tban at Home. Chairman Barnum, of the Demo cratic National Committee, spent Sat- rday in this city, in consultation with prominent Democrats. He reports the outlook as very cheering. The Republican tariff bill puts coal on the free list. Such a howl has been raised by the coal Barons that the Republican Senators are now claiming that it was all a mistake of the printer and that they intended to raise the tariff on coal instead of putting it on the free list. The House having finished its work is now waiting to see what the Senate proposes to do. JN either house has a quorum, and those in a position to know are confidently predicting an ad journment before the 25th inst. They might as well have adjourned a month ago for all that has been accomplished. Both hou-eshave passed a bill appro priating 50,000 to carry out the pro- isions ot the Chinese exclusion bill. Senator Gorman has gone to New York to remain at the headquarters of the National Committee until after election. This is in accordance with the wishes of Mr. Cleveland and Chair manBrice. Great interest is being manifested in the campaign by the various Democratic State Associations in this city, The New York association will send 2500 voters to that State. The largest delegation of Indians that ever visited Washington are now here and they are attracting a great deal of attention. The delegation con sists of 60 Sioux chiefs. They are here for the purpose of conferring with the Interior Department in relation to the proposed treaty, by which they are to sell to the Government 11,080,000, acres of land, about half their reservation They will call on the President this week. Judge Thurman left for home Friday evening. While here he spent several days with the President at Oak View. After the 4th of March the Old Roman will again take up his residence in Washington. The bill placing Gen. Alford Pleas- anton on the retired list of the army with the rank of Major, has been passed by the House and Senate, and is now in the nanus or the resident, it is feared, however, that its passage will N of little benefit to the genial cavalry- iu, Lela lying dangerously ill in this city. Secretary Whitney and a number of Government officials attended the launching of the United States gunboat Petrel, in Baltimore Saturday afternoon. Simon Sterne, a prominent lawyer of New York, and a personal friend of the President, is in this city to argue a case before the Supreme Court. He is very confident of the election of Cleve land and Thurman, and says that the Democratic plurality in the State of New York will be over 20,000. The report of Wm. D. H. Washing ton, United States Consular Agent at London, Ontario, to the State Depart ment, has created quite a stir among the high protection Republisans. Mr, Washington's report states that the Oliver chilled plows, made at South Bend, Indiana, are sold in Canada $10 each wholesale and $12 each retail. while in the United States they cost $14 each wholesale and $10 each retail Similar discrimination is shown against the United States farmer in regard to the Syracuse and the South Bend plows. The figures are remarkable be cause American plows entering Canada have to pay a duty of 25 per cent, ad valorem. One of Walter A. Wood's American self-binding reapers, which costs in the United States from $150 to $170, can be bought in Canada for $110, Smaller agricultural tools.such as forks, spades and shovels, after paying from 35 to 75 per cent, ad valorem, are sold in Canada as cheap or cheaper than in this country. These figures are calcu lated to set the American farmer to thinking about the alleged benefit he receives from a high protective tariff The high tariff keep3 out foreign im plements and enables the manufactur ers of the United States to make their own prices, but in Canada they have to compete with foreign manufacturers hence the lower prices there. The House was in session only two days last week, and is not likely to put in any more time this week. In fact, there is nothing for it to do except to pass a resolution to adjourn, but as that would help to pull the Republican Senate out of the hole into which it has cotten, the House seems to be in no hurry about it. Chief Justice Fuller, during his first week, made a marked impression on the large number of distinguished law yers in attendance upon the sessions of the Supreme Court, by his dignified bearing and manners.

It contains iodide of potassium, a drug useful inextreme cases when cautiously given under a doctor's super- . vision, but ueain-ueaung to ail wno taite n in quantity. If your brother had died under such circumstances, you would hate patent medicines as I do." ... i . - i , . , . i a. 1 1 .. j luouisiiKe me iiiiiue ui unit nus-eaiieu 'blood purifier,'for I have heard a first class physician say it is the cause of half the- cases oi lirignt's disease in tne country, and it is strange the proprietors have not been prosecuted for selling it.

If my wife thinks they have worms, she doses them with old style. We always have both kinds in the house, and together, tliey Keep the doctor away." And you insist that the proof of the pudding ."
