Wasuinoton, March 1 Wm MoKlnley'snd
Garrett A. Uobart wcroinaujurated
president of the United Mates
today at noon. TUe oatii of office was administered
to Mr. McKlnlcy by Chief Justice
Fuller, nfter which the new president delivered,
his Inaugural address, tn part as follows:
Fellow Citizens: In obedience will of
the peopleicand In their presence by tho authority
vested In mo by this oath, I assume
tho arduous and responsible duties of president
oftho United States, rolyinz upon the
support of my countrymen and Invoking the
cutdunco ot,Almlshty God. Our faith teaches
that there Is no safer reliance- than upon tbo
Godot our futhors who has so singularly favored
tho American people In c cry national
trial, and who will not. forsake us so long as
we oboy Ills commandments and walk humbly
In His footsteps. ,
lhe responsibilities of tbe high trust to
which I have been cnllod always of crave
Importance are auzmented b the prevailing
business conditions, entailing Idleness upon
willing labor and loss to usoful enterprises.
The country is suffering Industrial disturbances
from which speedy rollef must bo bad.
Our financial system needs some rovlslon: our
inonoy Is ull good now, but Us value must not
further bo threaloned. It should all bo put on
an enduring basis, not subject to
ssasy attack, nor Its stability to
....doubt or dispute. Our eurrency should con
tinue under tno supervision ot the govern
ment The several forms ot our paper money
offer, in my 'Judgment, a constant embarrass
ment to the government and n sufo balanco In
tbe trcmury. Therefore I bcllovo It necessary
lodovtso a system which, without di
minishing tho circulating medium, or offering
a premium for its contraction, will present u
remedy forjtnose arrangements which, temporary
in their nature, might well In
tho years of our prosperity havo been displaced
by wiser provisions.
Economy Is demanded tn every branch ot
tbo government at all timos. but especially
In psrlods Ilka tho present ot depression in
business and distress among the people.
The government should not be pormtttcd to
run behind or Increase Its debt in times like
tho present. Suitably toprovtdo against 'this
present mandato of duty; tho certain and easy
remedy for most ot our financial dlfllcultles.
Adodclency Is Inevitable so long as the expenditures
of the government exceed
its receipts. It can only bo met by
loans,or an Increased roenue While a largo
annual surplus (of revenue majr lnjrltg waste
and oxtravagahoolnndcquato revenue croa,tcs
"dUlttut 'and uiLtermicejspubUc?ni5drprIvnto
Hwcen more loans and more roycuuo, tbcro
ought to bd but ono opinion.
Wo should have moro revenue, and
that without delay, hindrance, or
postponement A surplus In tho treasury
created by loans, is not a permanent or safo
reliance. It will suffice wbllp It 1 asts but It
can not last long whllo the outlays of tbo government
are groater than Its rccalpts. as has
been the caso during tho pist tno yoart Nor
must bo forgotten, however much such loans
may temporarily relievo the situation
the government is still Indebted for tho
amount of tho surplus accrued which It must
"ultiniatcly pay, whllo ability to pty Is not
strengthened, but weakened by a continued
doflclt Loans are Imperative In great emergencies
to prcscrvo tho government or its
credit, but a falluro to supply needed revenue
in tlmo ot pence for tho maintenance of cither
has no Justlllcation. "
Tho best way for the government to main-'
tain Its credit, is to pay as It goes not by
to loans, but by keeping out ot debt-through
an n(leo.uate"' lncomo tccurod by a
system ot taxation, external or internal, or
both- It Is the settled policy of tho government,
pursued from tho beginning and practiced
by all parties and administrations,
to ratso tho bulk of our rovenue from
taxes upon foreign productions entering
tho United States for salq. and consumption,
and avoiding, for tho most part, overy
form of dlnct taxation, oxeopt in tlmo of
war. The country is clearly opposed to any
needless additions to tho subjects ot internal
taxation, and is committed by its latest popular
utteranco to tho, system ot
Ihcro can bo no misunderstanding,
either, about the prlnclplo upon which
this tarllf taxation shall bo lovlcd.
In the rovlslon ot the tariff especial attention
should be given to the and
extension of tho reciprocity principle of tho
law of 1800, under which so great a stimulus
was given to our foreign trade in now and advantageous
marlcots for our surplus agricultural
and manufactured products. Tho briof
trill given -tills 16gislatlon amply Justifies a
further experiment and additional discretionary
pov cr In tho making ot commorcfal treaties,
tho end in view always to be tbo opening
of now markets for tho products of our country,
by granting concessions to tho products
ot 'othor lands that vro need and can not produce
ourohcsi nnft, which do not Involve any
loss ot laborto our own pconle, hut tend to
increase their emp'oymoht.
t
It Is inspiring too, tp rememhor that no
groat emergency In thd 103 years pf our1 eventful
national lite, ha over arisen, that has not
been rrtot with wisdom and courage by tho
American P"oplo with fidelity to tho host
and highest duty and td, the honor of

klnuV and advanced the cauo

of any p nrty, simply because it happen; to ba
in power. Asa member of congress I voted
and spoke in favor of the present law and I
shall attempt Its enforcement in tho spirit
tn which it was enacted. The purpose
in view was to secure tho most
cfllclent servlco ot the best men
'who would accept appointment under the government,
retaining faithful and devoted pub-Ho
servants In ofllce, but shielding none, under
the authority of any rule or custom, who
are Inefficient, Incompetent or unworthy. 3 he

Congress should gtvo prompt attention to
the restoration ot our Amcrlcan'mcrchant
marine, on're tho pride ot tho seas in all the,
great ocoan highways of commerce To my
mind, few more Important subjects so imperatively
demand its Intelligent consideration.
It has been the policy of the United States
slnco tho found ttlon ot the govennment to
cultivate rotations of pcaco and amity with
all the nnttons ot tho world, and this accords
with my conception of our duty now. We
have cherished the policy ot
with the affairs of foreign governments, wisely
Inaugurated by Washington, koeplng ourselves
troo from entanglement either as allies
or foos. content to leave undisturbed with
them the settlement ot their own domestic
concerns. If will be our aim to pursue a firm
and dignified foreign policy, wnlch shall bo
Just, Impartial, ever-watchful ot our national
honor and always insisting upon tho enforcement
of tho lawful rights of Americans
We want no wars ot conquest: wo
must avoid tho temptation ot territorial
aggression A war should never bo
entered upon until every agency ot
peaco has failed: pcaco Is prcfcrablo
to war in almost overy contingency. Arbitration
is tho truo method ot settlement of Internal
tanal as well as local or Individual differences.
It was recognized as the best means
of adjustment ot differences botweon employers
and employes by the
congress In 18S0 and Its application
was extended to , our diplomatic
relations by tho unanimous concurrence
ot tho sonato and houso Uf the
congress in IbSO Tho latter resolution
was accoptcd as the basis of negotiation with
us by tho Urltish houso of commons In 1893
and upon our Invitation a treaty ot arbitration
between tho United States and Groat Urltaln
was signed at Washington and transmitted
to tho scnato for its ratification in
January last. Slnco this treaty is clearly tho
result ot our own inlttitlvcf slnco It has beon
recognized as the leading feature of our foreign
policy throughout our cntlro national
history tho adjustment of difficulties by Judicial
rather than by force of arms and since
it presents to tho world the glorious cxnmple
of reason and peace, not passion and war,
controlling tho relations between two
ot tho greatest nations of tho world,
an oxamplo certain to bo followed b
others, I respectfully urge tho early action ot
tbo senate thoreon. not merely ai a matter of
policy, but as a duty to mankind.
pcrtanco and mornwnnuenco 011 tno ramtcar,
t(on of.sUch'n' treaty 'con hardlrlfo
In tho causo of advancing civilisation.
It may well cngngo tho best thought for
statesmen and people of overy country, and I
can not but consldor it fortunato that it was
reserved to tho United States to havo tbo
leadership in so grand n work.
It has been tho uniform practice to avoid
as far as posslbla tho convening
of the congress In extraordinary
session. It Is an ex implo which, undor ordinary
circumstancos and in tho ubsenco of a
public necessity is to bo commended, Dut a
falluro to coavono tho representatives of tho
people in congress in extra session when It
Involves neglect ot a public duty, places the
responsibility upon tho cxccutlta himself.
Tho condition of tho public treasury, as has
been Indicated, demands tho Immediate consideration
of congress. It nlono has
tho power to provldo tevenucs for
tho congress, not to convono It under such
clrcumstancos. I ran view In no other scnto
thin tbo neglect of a pliin duty. I do not
sympathize wllh tho sentiment that congress
in session Is dangerous to our great business
interests. Its members are tho agents ot the
people and tholr prcaonco at tho seat ot
government at tho execution ot
the soverolgn will should not operate
as an Injury, but as a benoflt, Ihoro
could bo no better tlmoto put tho government
upon a sound financial und oconomio basis
than now. The pcoplo havo only roccntly
voted that this should bo nothing Is moro
binding upon tho agents ot their will than tho
obligation of immediate action It has always
scorned to mo that tho postponement
of the meeting of congress until moro
thnn a vcar after It has been chojon deprived
congress too oflqn of the Inspiration
of tbo popular will, and the country ot
tho corresponding bcnoflts It Is ovldent
thcroforo that to postpono nctlnn In the presence
of so great a necessity would bo unwlso
on tho part of the executive branch unjust to
tho interests of tho people. Our notion will
now bo freor'from mere partisan consideration
than if the question of tnrlff revision
was postponed until tho regular session of
congress. We are ncnrlr two yoirs from 11
congressional election und polit'ci can not
?o greatly distract us as If such contest was
mmcdlatcly pending Wo can approich tho
problem calmly and patriotically without
f baring Its effects upon an early election Our
feldvv citizens who hny dlsagroo with us
upon the character of this lcglsbtlon pro-far
to have the question sotllrd now
even ngalnst tbo preconcelvod vlows and

ing on the Cretan question. According
to announcements previously made
the queen is to start for tho Riviera
an Wednesday and tho prime minister
would undoubtedly have visited
her majesty under any circumstances

was announced Monday evening
that tho French, qerman

in the identical note of the
powers to blockade tho coasts of Greece
In the event of her refusing1 to 'accede
to the demand that sho'withdrawjher
troops from Crete and her fleet from
Cretan waters. Their reason is that,
although that the reply of Greece gives
s'omo hopo of a compromise, it docs not
comply with tho demand made by tho
powers. 1

The vice consul insisted upon going in
