of Horticnltnre, Valparaiso, and
the trees grew well and strongly.
They had bnt jnst commenced to
bad when they were invaded' by
the curcnlio (pnlgon), which in
sects were followed, as frequently
happens, by ants; : Having cat
some tomatoes, the idea occurred
to me that by placing some of the
leaves around the trunks and
branches of", the peach' trees I
might preserve them from the rays
of the son, which were very pow

on the following day to . fiud , the
trees entirely free from their ene

here and there where a curled leaf
prevented the tomato from exercis
ing its inflnence These leaves 1
caretully .unrolled, placing upon
them fresh ones from the tomato
vine, with the result of banishing
the last insect and enabling the
trees to grow with luxuriance.
Wishing to carry still further my
experimentjl steeped in water some
fresh leaves of the ' tomato and
sprinkled with this infusion other
plauts, roses and oranges. In two
days these were also free from the
innumerable insects which covered
them, and I felt sure that bad 1

heUow Citizens : Wei bave as
sembled to repeat th public ceie
monials begun by Washington, ob
served by alt my predecessors, and
now a time-honored custom: which
marks -the commencement of a
new term ol the Presidential office.
Called to the duties of this, great
trust,' I proceed, in accordance v. ith
usage, to announce some -of the
leading principles onf the subjects
that now chiefly engage the public
attention, by which it is, toy desire
to be guided in the discharge of
these duties. , ,;
I Bhall cot undertake to lay
down, irrevocably - principles or
measures ot administratiou but
rather to speak of the motives
which should animate ns and to
suggest certain important ends to
be attained in accordance with our
institutions and essential to the
welfare of our country. 1
At the outset of the discussions
which preceded the recent presi
dential election, it seemed , to' me
fitting that I should fully' make.
known my seLtimentfi in regard to
evcral of the important questions
which then appeared to demand
the consideration of the country.
ollowing the example, and ' in
part adopting the language of one
of my predecessors, I; wish now,
when every motive of misrepre
sentation has passed .away, to re
peat wnat wiissaia oeiore ine elec
tion trusting that my countrymen
will candidly weigh and understand
it, and that they will feel assured
that tho sentiments declared in act
cepting the nomination for the
presidency will be the standard of
my conduct m the path before me
barged, as I now am, with the
rave and difficult task of carrying
'iem out in the practical admiirts-
ation of the government, so far
as depends under the Constitution
tnd laws on the Uhief Executive ol

southern roucr.
Tho peimanent pacification of
he country, upon such principles
ind by such measures as will se
cure the complete protection cf all
its citizens in the free enjoyment cf
ill their constitutional rights, is
uow the one subv.-ct in our public
aii'tirs which all thoughtful aud
patriotic citizens regard as of su
preme importance. Many of the
calamitous effects of the tremeu
dous revolution which has passed
over the Southern States still .re
main. The immeasurable beuefits
which, will surely follow, sooner or
ater, the hearty and ceuerous ac
ceptance of the legitimate results
of that revolution have not yet
been realized. ithcult and em
barrassing questions . meet us at
the threshhold of this subject, lhe
people of those States are still im

blessing of wise, honest and . local
sun-government is not luliy en-

those St ites. But it must not be
forgotten that only a local govern
ineut wh:ch recognizes and main
tains inviolate the rights ot all is
a true self-government. With re
spect to the two distinct races
whose peculiar relations to each
other have brought npon as the
deplorable complication and per
plexities which' exist in those
States, it must be a government
which guards the interests of both
races carefully and eqnaliy. 11

ship and upou : on equal footing
wi'h their former masters, could
not occur without presenting prob.
Iema of ; the gravest moment, to
be dealt with by the emancipated
race, by their former masters, aud
by the general government, the
author of the aet of emancipation.
That it was a wis, just and provi
dentiaf act, fraught with good for
all concerned is how generally
conceded throughout the country ;
that a moral obligation tests upon
the "National Government to em
ploy its constitutional power and
influence to, establish the rights of
the people it has emancipated, and
to protect them in the enjoyment
of. those rights when they are in
fringed or assailed is also general
ly admitted. The evils which af
flict the Southern States can only
be removed or rtmidied by the
united and harmonioU3 efforts ol
both races, actuated by motives of
mutual sympathy and regard.
And while in dutv bound and loin
determined to protect the rights of
all br the constitutional means at
the disposal of, my administration,
1 am sincerely anxious to . use ev
ery legitimate influence in favor of
honest and emcieut local self
government as the true resource ot
those States for the promotion of
the contentment of their citizens.
In the effort I shaH make to ac
complish this purpose, I ask the
ecrdial co-operation of all who
cherish an interest in the welfaie
of the country, trusting that partv
ties and prejudice of race will be
freely surrendered in behalf of the
great purpose to be accomplished
In the important work of re
storing the South, it is not the
political situation alone that mer
its attention; the material develop
ment of that section of the coun
try has beeu arrested by the social
and political revolution through
which it has passed, and now
needs and deserves the considerate
care of the national government
within the jnst limits prescribed by
the Constitution aud wise republi
can economy.
EDUCATION.
At the basis of all prosperity
or that as well as fof every other.
prt of the country lies " the im
provement of the intellectual and
moral condition of the people.
Universal suffrage should rest up
on universal education. To this
end liberal and permanent provis
ion should be mde for the sup
port of free schools by the State
governments, and if need be, sup
plemeuted by legitimate aid from
national authority. Jj9t me as
sure my countrymen of 'he South
ern States, that- it' is my earnest
desire to regard and promote their
truest interests, the interest of
the white and of the colored peo
pie both and equally, and to put
forth my best efforts in behalf of
a civil policy which will forever
wipe out in oar political a flairs
the color nne and the distinction
between North and South; to the
end that we may not have merely
a united North and a united South,
but a nmted country.
CIVIL SfiBVICK KIFORM.
I ask the attention of the public
to the paramount .necessity of re
form, in our civil service-, a reform
t M .
not merely . as-10 certain a Duses
and practices, of so-called ofhcial
patronage,,. which, have come to
have the sanction of usage in the

that shall be thought, radical aud
complete; a retain to the princi

of the government, , They , neither

.' ' . ' TERM.
" In furtherance of the reform we
seek, and in other important respects,
a change of great importance, I re
commend an amendment to the Con
stitution prescribing a term of six
years for the Presidential office, and
forbidding a re-election.
FINANCIAL, AFFAIRS.
. "With respect to the financial con
dition of the country, I shall not
attempt an extended history of the
embarrassment and prostration which
we have suffered during the past
three years. The depression in all
our varied commercial and manufac
turing interests throughout tho coun
try, which begau in September, 1873,
still continues. It is very gratifying.
however, to be able to sav that there
are indications all around us - of a
coming change to prosperous times,
Upon the currency question, inti
mately connected as , it is with this
topic, I may be pemittcd to repeat
here that the statement made in mv
letter of acceptance that iu my judg
ment tne leeling ot uncertainty, in
separable ironi our irredeemable pa
per currency with its influctuations of
values, is one of the greatest obsta
cles to a return to prosperous times.
The only safe papci . currency is one
which rests upon a coin basis and is
at all times and promptly convertible)
into coin. I adhere to the views here
tofore expressed by me in favor of
Congressional legislation in behaif of
an early resumption to specie pay
ment, and I am . satisfied, not only
that this is wise, but that the inter
ests, as well as the public sentiment
of the country, demand it.;
ODU FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Passing from these remarks npon the
condition of our own country to con
sider our rclatioos with other lands,
we are reminded by the international
complications abroad threatening the
peace of Europe, that our traditional
rule of non-interference in the affairs
of foreign nations has proved of great
value in past times and ought to be
strictly observed. The policy inau
gurated by my honored predecessor,
President Grant, of submitting to
arbitration, grave questions of dispute
between ourselves and foreign powers,
points to a new and incomparabij
the best instrumentality for the pres
ervation of peace, and will, I believe,
become a beneficient example of the
course to be pursued in similar emer
gencies bv other nations. If, unhap
pily, questions of difference should,
at any time during the period . of my
administration, arise between - the
United States and any foreign gov
ernment, it will certainly be my dis
position and my hope to aid in their
settlement in the same peaceful and
honorable way, r thus securing to our
country the great blessings of peace
and mutual good offices with all the
nations of the world.
THE SITUATION.
Fellow citizens, we have ' reached
the close of a political contest marked
by the excitement which , usually
attends the contests between great
political parties whose members es
pouse and advocate with earnest faith

and the consequent uncertainty of the

lorse farm and a hired boy to tend
it. 1 will let. Mr. Reed tell his own
story ns follows :
"For my last wheat crop I broke
my ground 4eep in August, then
larrowed well. I sowed inv wheat

I broke ray corn ground deep in

crossed it on deep ana covered mv
corn with a plow. I did not brca
out tnc cox until tne crrouna was

row -shovel plow and broke deep
and ; immediately, harrowed . my
corn. I did not uso a . plough in
tending niy corn. I hnrowed it
four times When the season ' was

a good stock of cattle, and thereby
make a large amount of manure.
Secondly,' k self yearly from an in
crease of cattle, aT)6ut - $75 worth'.
Thirdly, from 9 miTcli cows I sell
anpually $140 woith 'pf. butter.
Fourthly, last season I put up' six
pigs in March, and fed them alto--gethec
on milk, except two nubbins
of corn apieee per.day until Sep

do not try only to improve ny
gronnd by putting inannru on it, -
bnt 1 keep all waslies stopped with
hue brush 'which I trim off my pirio

I will give yon a statement of my

Knowing Mr. Reed to be a man
of truth, honor, and integrity, lean
vouch lor the truth of his story, and
if he can sell $476.75 surplus pro

what is the use of eo many quit

They had better farm right, and it
will ceitaiuly pay them. Exam
