The Tariff Is a Tax, Says the Candi-date, and Vet He Denies Being a Free-Trad- er Platitudes Concern- - ing Honey Taffy for Old Soldiers Immigration The Nicaragua Canal. New York, Sept. 27. Yesterday a synop-sis of Orover Cleveland's letter of acceptance was made public Omitting the introduc-tion it is as follows : The protection of tbe people in the exclusive use and enjoyment of their property and earnings is conceded by the constitution as the especial purpose and mission of our free government. This design is so Interwoven with the structure of our plan of ruiS) that a' failure to protect a citizen in such use and enjoyment or their un-justifiable diminution by the government itself is a betrayal ot the people's trust We have under-taken to build a great nation npon a plan of our own. To furnish means for the accomplishment of national object, the American people are willing, through federal taxation, to surrender part of their earning, and inoome..The tariS legis-lation present, tha familiar form of federal tax-ation and the res alts are as surely a tax upon the daily life of our people aa a tribute paid directly into the hands df the tax gatherer. We feel the burden of thee tariff taxes too palpably to be persuaded by any sophistry that they do not ex-ist or are paid by foreigners. Such taxes are only justifiable for the purpose of maintaining the government and furnishing means tor the accom-plishment of Its legitimate purposes. This is taxation under the operation of a tariff for revenue. It manifestly enjoin, strict econo-my in public expenditures and their limitation to legitimate public uses. Inasmuch as it exhibits as absolute extortion any exaction by the way of taxation from the substance of people beyond the necessities of a careful and proper administration ot the goverument is opposed to this theory. 1 he dogma is now boldly presented that tariff taxation is justifiable lor the express purpose and intent of promoting especial interests and enterprises. Such a proposition is so clearly contrary to the spirit of our constitution, and so directly encourages disturbance by the selfishness and greed of atriotic tentiment that its state-ment would rudelv shock our Deonle if they had not already been insiduously lured from the sate landmark of principle. Kever have honest desires for national growth, patriotic devotion to the country and sincere regard for those who toll been so betrayed to the support of A PBRSICIOUS 1KXTBIVE. The plea that our infant industries Should be fostered did service unt 1 discredited by onr stal-wart growth. Then followed the exigencies of a terrible war, aad now, after a long period of peace, whea onr over-burden- countrymen ask tor relief and restoration to the luller enjoyment of their incomes and earnings, they a ra met by the claim that the tariff taxation is for the sake of protection and is an American rystem, the con-tinuance of which ia neseesary in order that high wages may be paid our workingmen aad a home market prov.ded for farm products. These pre- tense should no longer deceive. The train Hi uch a system ia d.rectly antagonized by every sentiment of justice and fait nee. of which the Americans are prominently proud. It is also true that while our workingmen and farmers can least of all oar people defend themselves against the harder home life which such tar ill taxation de-crees, the wor tin groan is suffering from the im-portation aad employment of pauper labor, insti-gated by hi. professed friends, and seeking se-curity in organized, still wait, for a 41' tiion of tUe Advantages set ared the employe; under cover of generous solicitude for hi. wages, while th. farmer is learning that the prices of bis products are fixed in foreign market, where he suffers from competition invited and built up by the tysteni he is.asked to support. Every government concession to clamorous favorites invites corruption of political affair, by encouraging the expenditure of money to debauch the suffrage in support of a policy directly favor-able to private and eelfieh gain. Thia in the end must strangle patriotism and weaen popular confidence in the rectitude of republican lnetitu tions. Kexognizing these truths, the national Deruocricr will seek by the application of just and sound principles to equalize to the people the blessings due them from tbe government they support; promote among our countrymen closer community of interests cemented by and national pride, and point out a fair field where prosperous and diversified American enterprise may thrive in a wholesome atmos-phere of American industry, ingenuity and intel-ligence. Tar.ff rexorm is still our purpose. We wage no exterminating w&r against any American interest. We believe a leadjuetment can be ac-complished without disaster or demolition. We believe the advantage of free raw material should he accorded our manufacturers and contemplate the careful distribution of the necessary tariff bur-dens rather than THE PKECIPITATtON OF FREE TBADB. We anticipate with calmness the misrepre- sentation of our motives aad purposes and rely npon the intelligence of our .eliow-conntryme- n to reject the cuarge that the party comprising the majori y of onr people is planning the de-struction or Injury of American interests, and we know they cannot be frightened by the specter of impossible free trade. 'the administration and management of onr government aepenus upon popular will. TUe lederal power is the instrument of that will, not it. master. Therefore, the attempt of opponents of Democracy to i. terfere wita and control the suffrages of state, through federal agencies de-velops a detire which no explanation can miti-gate to the reverse of fundamental and safe rela-tions between people and government. Such an attempt cannot fail to be regarded bythough ful men aa proof of a determination to hoi 1 secure the ascendency of a discredited party in reckless disregard of free expretsion of ropdlar will. To resist sach a scheme is an impulse of aemocraey. The people are entitled to" sound and honest money, abundantly sufficient in volume to supply business needs, but whatever may be its form, national or state, gold, silver or paper, it should be so regulated aud guarded by governmental action, or wie and careful laws, that no one can be deluded as to tt e certainty and stability of its value. very dollar put into the hands of the people should be ot the ame lntrineicwalue or purchasing power with this condition absolutely guaranteed that both gold and silver be safely utilized npon eqnal terms in THX ADJUSTMENT Or OCR CUBBXNCT. In dealing with this subject no selfish scheme should be allowed to intervene and no doubtful experiment should be attempted. The want, of our people arising from a deficiency or the im-perfect distribution of the money circulation ought to be fnlly and honestly recognized and efficiently remedied. It shonld, however, bi con-stantly remembered that the inconvenience or loss that might arite from such a situation can be much easier borne than the universal distress which must follow a discredited currency. Public officials are the agents ot the people. Their duty is to secure for those they represent the best and most efficient performance of the public work. This is best accomplished by regarding an ascertained fitness In the selection of tue govern- ment employees. Tbl. consideration alone is sufficient justification for honest adherence to the letter and spirit of civil service reiorm. Further-more, through its operation worthy merit is re-cognized, while its application tends to raise tbe standard of political activity from spoils hunting and unthinking party affiliation to the advocacy ofparty principV s by reason of the argument. The American people are generons and grate- ful and have Impressed these characteristic np-on their government, therefore all patriotic and just decisions must commend liberal considera-tion for worthy veteran soldier, and the families of those who died.

IT IS UPHELD BY THE COUNCIL. That Body Officially Declares That Lawlessness Is on the Increase and Additional Protection la Xec essary Keep Your Eye on the 'Times," a liood Xotto to Live Vp To. As will be seen in the column of Satur-day's issue, devoted to the proceedings of the previous night's session of tbe city council, Thb Times has been officially up-held and indorsed in its crusade against the incompetency of the police department in handling the criminal element now infesting this city. It says: Lawlessness ia on the Increase and ad-ditional police protection is needed. The police committee recommended the ap-pointment of four additional policemen. When it was read Councilman Wantland exclaimed: "Better make it fifty, for they are needed!" The same gentleman informed a Times representative the same night that he would offer a resolution in the council tonight which would accomplish the object sought by The Times, viz: The proper protection of the people against the invasion of their residences by burglars. The Time9 has won its fignt with hands down. It has proved to the public, to the police apologist of the Tribune and to the city council, that its crusade was in tbe inter-est of the people; that the charges it preferred against thu heads of the police department were founded on facts and were not made for the purpose of creating a sen-sation, and it is now content to sheath its swotd, with the promise that it . will again be brandished if circumstances render it necessary that the people, whose servant it is, shall be protected.

Mr. Emery, who was in this city during troublous times, says he can seethe dawn of peace and prosperity for the people of this territory. He is an annual visitor to Salt Lake, and each year, ho says, .be can see the people cpmin closer together. Harmony among the Ceases is noticeaUe to a greater extent than ever before. "This city," said he, referring to Sal Lake, "ia destined to become Jbe greatest' inland city between Missouri rivbjr and the coast. The resources of the territory are such that she is bound to push on U the front. The climate ia the finest the seavon round. The growth of Salt Lake is steady sure and substantial. There is no fictitious prosperity, but a safe and reliable increase. That ia what builds great cities." Speaking of the free coinage question Mr. Emery said that in the East the people ot all political parties are not very friendly to the free coinage of silver, while west of the Missouri river the majority of the voters are in favor of free coinage, or beMeve that the government should eoin Into money the product of white metal of this country. Mr. Emery arrived in this city yesterday afternoon from Boise City, Idaho, arid will remain in Salt Lake for a few days and then probably continue his trip westward. IN THE HALLS I T1.

The latter made no appearance and the plaintiff took the stand and told her story. She is only 19 years of age and was married a year and a half ago, and it seems that her hubby, who was a waiter, aban-doned her three months after her marriage, airs. Morrison kuew of no reason for such Aonriurt , and the AineetAtiira nnnnlmmi&lvj agreed that he didu't have any, for the wife is a very pretty yourj woman of attractive ruunuerrf. Her story waa corroborated by her mother, and Mrs. Morrison waa granted an absolute divorce, with $25 a month ali-mony. She was also awarded the custody of her baby.

A Test Medium That Has Been Test-ed and Found Wanting:. ' "DOCTOR" MATTHEWS NOW OP-ERATES IN THIS CITY, And His Unsavory Record Follows Him Hither. THE SPIRITS TOLD HIM TO LEAVE COLORADO SPRINGS. He Is the Individual Who Caused the Arrest Throush Supernatural Knowledge of a JTan Supposed to Have Held Up Banker Moffat In Denver-- He Was Also Ordained to Take Charge of the Material In-terests of a Widow With Bad Be-sults for the Widow. It is not so very long ago since the cred-ulous people of this city were buncoed out of considerable hard cash by a plausible fellow named Dr. Donnelly, who professed to be a "progressive spiritualist." He progressed very materially until The Times exposed him as a fraud and then he de-camped between two suns. Another "progressive spiritualist," and a "doctor," too, has now invaded ZIon and he cuicnaineu a large, mougn not critical, audience in the old I. O. O. F. hall last Sunday. The lectures he gave were most certainly marvels of high-flow- n poetic language, teeming with complex sentences and de-livered with an eloquence worthy of an in-dividual under the direct influence of the in-habitants of the mysterious spirit land. From words the doctor went to deeds, which with him was certainly going farther than from the fryingpan into the fire. In the evening entertainment especially bis per-sonal tests and spirit communications were to badly performed that he was, at the close, obliged to apologize and explain that be was "a bit out of trim" owing to being among strangers, but would probably im-prove after being among them a few weeks and getting better acquainted with them. - Well, if half of what comes to the knowl-edge of The Times be true. Dr. F. O. Mat-thews will prdbably not be called upon to ta.srrhyis in thee mountain fastnesses as long programme announces. The doctor's last field of labor was at Colorado Springs, and if it was not a fruitful field it was not altogether his fault He is evidently a clairvoyant who knows pretty well what Is ahead of him. Here is what the Pike's Peak Herald says about him: T!iere is in the coinmnnlty an organization of spiritualists whose belief is honest and sincere. Hi.; mitny most excellent people who hae repudiated the "doctor," who attempted to foii-- t himself upon them. Matthiwe' harvest of ducats would have been iniif-i- i larger in this city, but for the warning v, iiirli iif honest spiritualists sounded and by whirh ti e kept many people from being duped ' y Ij.m t:ieuods.

Matthews' ie:p!ion and work in this city is ;in' ther example oi the credulity of the general li .':iic. He misused his calling to dnpe the peo-;:.- e n.i brought discredit on the faith. ' iK the 'djcor"' over-reache- d himself here as 1 e lias done in ctner places and, in the language oi the trcef, pecp'.e were "getting onto him," and had he staid, was liable to fce; into serious triable. In Denver before coming here, Matthews had gained the coniidence of a grief stricken lady who had lost her husband and whom he had ca;olsd into believing that, by request cf the departed, he was to take charge of her material possessions and manage the widow's affairs. He managed thua with the result that he obtained about $1J0. Parcial recovery was made by attaching Mattnewg' ual estate, property and personal effects at 1T28 vu.iuin D.iopi, bo ea.ifijr me claims ui iue xaay and otner creditors. The sale is still in progress. It is not eenerally known that "Dr " Matthews is responsioie for the arrest of 3. H. Cross, the Elbert county ranchmm charged with stealing $21,000 from Banker JJ. H. Moffatt of Denver. Sawyer, the gullible detective, was led by Mat-thews to believe that he conld, by the aid of the spirits, locate the robber and the "bcodle" and Sawyer bit. Sawyer is till in jail awai tin trial for ffb e arret and imprisonment and Matthews is .111 chafing the festive suckers and a two dol-lar fee. There was talk of arresting Matthews in connection with Sawyer at the time, but the mat-ter was dropped. The hred "pastor of the Chnrch of theltew Spiritual Dispensation'' threw out his bait while in this city for a mere $100, but the game was sus-pected. A couple of ladies, a mother and daneh-to- r, waited on Matthews for consnltation a. to the future. Among other things he told them was that au estate of a couple of millions was lying around loose for their benefit and the benefit of other heirs in England. Tbi the ladies knew, but the mystery was how Matthews found it out. The spirits told him of coarse. For $100 in advance he would guarantee to get them their portion within a year. The ladios asked to him see the gentleman of tbe house and Dr. Matthews did so. The gentleman proved to be a business man of Tejon street and for once Matfhews received a good lecture but no fee. The "doctor" learned that it wonld be safer and more remunerative to do business with unsuspecting women and foolish men. But the "doctor" has departed and the com-munity is relieved of an incubus and a fraud. : Canady Shoots Himself in Washington AFTER BEING FOUND BOUND AND GAGGED IN HIS ROOM. He Claimed that Burglars Robbed Him in the Night BUT HIS PARTNER WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE STORY. While He Was Absent to Secure Canady's Arrest the Latter Sped a Bullet Through His Head A Woman in the Case Valuable Pa-pers Burned in the Fire Place. Washington, Sept. 27. W. P. Canady of North Carolina, of the senate, suicided here this morning by shoot-ing himself through the head. He has been in financial trouble for some time. Canady occupied rooms at 714 Kent street, as lodging and office quarters. He was in partnership with Colonel J. A. Houghton. He conducted a business of loaning money on securities such as the banka refused to handle, and was launched as a company to guarantee patents. The first scene. in the tracedr occurred about davlieht thia morn- - ing, when a gentleman rooming above was attracted through Canady's door by the lat-ter' s cries. He found Canady bound, gagged, and the latter claimed this was the work of burglars, who had forced him to open his safe and take out ' its contents. When Colonel Houghton arrived he told Canady he did not believe the story and thought it was a ruse to cover a thijft by Canady of $2000 which Houghton put in the safe the previ-ous evening. Houghton then went out to get a policeman, and when he returned he found Canady lying dead, bathed in blood, with a bullet hole through his head. It seems THERE WAS A WOMAN IS THK CASE, a Miss Moore, for whom he left a note de-claring he was guilty of no wrong and ask-ing God to bless her as his last prayer. The tragedy was ' a climax to a decade of wild adventurous speculation in projects of s hazardous kind, in the hope, always delu-sive, that each successive scheme would bring large wealth. It waa about a quarter after 5 this morn, ing when Charles H. Stevenson, an em. ployee in the fish commission, who roomed on the second floor just above Colonel Can-- I ady's rear office room, came down stairs, having beeu alarmed by his outcries. He found Colonel Canady bound to the closet door in the room in which the safe stood and access to the hallway from his sleeping quarters. The safe was open. Strewed over the floor was a great litter of papers and in the fire place a charred mass of burned papers. Colonel Canady was bound to the door w;th his hands behind him. The twine with which he waa bound was very ordinary stud, such as is used to bind large parcels, so that a man of ordinary strength ought to have been able to break it with ease. In hia mouth was a gag made out of torn pieces of hit night-shir- t, which waa found across the hallway. It had been loossned so he was able to make an outcry. Colonel Canady's story was that some time after 2 o'clock in the morning three bur-glars forced an entrance through the rear window of the room in which he was found bound and gagged, into the room in which he was sleeping, bound him at the point of a revolver, then forced him to ro across tbe hallway to the safe and open it. They ab-stracted a great part of the content, burned some papers and departed after binding him. Captain Houghton was sent for and to him Canady related the story, which his partner refused to believe. An examination of the papers showed a considerable number of negotional notes made by Canady had been burned and every book containing a record of Indebtedness against him had been de-stroyed. Affirming his disbelief in the story, Cap-tain Houghton said he would go for a po-liceman and have the story investigated. Officers Hodges and Gilbert accompanied him on hia return to the house. The ser-vant girl told them she thought Colonel Canady shot himself. A window at tho rear was lorced from the outside and tbe dead man found lying ou a cot He had dressed himself after Captain Houghton's departure and was lying so. A SHOCKING ;.
