INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Tito following aro the central Idcna ot
President MeKlnlty'a inaugural ad
drew: In obedience to the will ot tho pcoplo
and In their pretence by tho authority
vested In mo by this oath, I asstinio tho
arduous nnd responsible duties of presi
dent ot the United mates, relying on
the support of my countrymen nnd in
voking tho guidance ot Almighty Uod.
The reapomrthtlltles of tho high trust
to which I havo been called nro aug
mented by the prevailing builnoss con
dition, entailing Idlrnesa upon willing
labor nnd loss to useful enterprises.
The country Is suffering from Indus
trial disturbances from which speedy
rellsf must be had. Our financial sys
tem need some revision; our money la
all fowl now, but It value mntt not be
further threatened. It should all be
put upon an onduring basis, not subject
to easy attack, t.or IU stability to dontrt
or dispute. Our currency should eon-

tlnno under the supervision of the gov
ernment. The scvoral form of our pn
Pr money offer, In my Judgment, a con
itant embarrassment to tho government
nnd a wife balance In the treasury.
Therefore, I ballove It necessary lo de-
rise a system which, without diminish
ing the circulating medium, or offering
a premium for Its contraction, will pre
sent a remedy for those arrangements,
which, temporary In their nature, might
well In the years of our prosperity have
boon dliplnced by wiser provision.
With ndctiinte reventto secured, but
not until then, wo enn enter upon surh
chnnges In our finnnclnl lnws oh will,
while Insuring safety and volume i our ,
monoy. no longer lmpoc upon tin ,ov-!
eminent tho necoeslty of mulntalnltig
to largo n gold reserve, with Its ultond-
nt and Inevltnblo temptation to spent-
latlon. Most of our llnnnclnl laws are
tho outgrowth of cxperlenro and trial,
and should not be amended without In -
vestlgatlon nnd demonstration of the
wisdom at tho proposed changes,
must be ttolli "sure we are right'
Wc
nnd
"make haste slowly." If, therefore, ox
ledknt to create a rommlaslnn to take
under early consideration the revision
of our connge, iMtiklng nnd currency
laws, and giro tliein that exhaustive,
careful and dlaimaslouate examination
that their Importance demands, I shall
cordially concur In such action.
The question of International bimet
allism wtll have early and earnest at
tention. It will be my constant en
;vor to secure tt by co-operation with
tho other great cammeroial powers of
the world.
Itconomy Is demanded In every
branch of tho government at nil Union,
but especially In periods like tho pres
ent of depression In business and dis
tress among the people. The evcrot
economy must be oheerrtd In all public ,
expenditures, and oxtravnganre stopped
wherever It Is found, and prevented ,
wherever In the future it may bo de-.
veloped.
Tho country I clearly opposed to any
neodleaa additions to tho suhjecta of In
ternal taxation, nnd la committed by Ita
latest popular utterance to tho systom
ot tariff taxation. There can be no
misunderstanding, either, about the
principle upon which this tariff taxa
tion shall be levied. Nothing haa ever
been made plainer at n general election
than that the controlling principle In
the raising of revenue from dtitlea on
Imports, Ita zealous care for American
Interests and American labor. The peo
ple have declared that such legislation
should 1m had na will give ample pro
tection and encouragement to the In
dustries and the development ot our
country. It Is, therefore, earnestly
lioneti and expected that congress will
at the earliest practical moment enact
revenue legislation that shall be fair,
reasonable, esttservatlve and Just, and
which, while supplying sutUrletit reve
nue tar public purposes, will still be
signally beneficial and helpful to every
section nnd every enterprise ot the peo
ple. One or the lessons taught by the late
olecMon, whloh nil ean rejalee In, Is that
the citizens af the United States are
both law-rsspeetlng and law-abiding
pespls, not easily swerved from the
iwtlt of iHttrlotUtn and honor. This Is
In entire aeeard with the genius of our
Institution, and but emphasizes the
advantage of Inculoatlng the love for
law and order lit the future. Immunity
should bt granted to none who violate
the lawa, whether Individuals, corpor
ation or communities; and as the can
stltutlon Imposes upon the president
the duty if both tts own execution ami
f the kiatuti- enacted In pursuance ot
lu priin. 1 shall eiidi.uur care

to power has been In the past that of
"opposition lo alt combination of capi
tal orpanlicd into trust cr otherwise to
control arbitrarily tho condition of
trade among our cltUeni," and It has
supported "surh legislation as would
prevent tho execution of alt schemes to
opprcts tho pcoplo by undue charges on
their supplies, or by unjtiat rnto for
tho transportation of their products to
market." This purpose will lie steadily
pursued, both by the enforcement ot
the law now In existence and the rec
ommendation and support of such now
statutes n may be necessary to carry
It Into effect.
It has been the policy of tlte I'nlted
Hinted since the foundation of the gov
ernment to cultivate relations ot prneo
nnd amity with all the natlou ot the
world, and this accords with my con
ception ot our duty now. V have
eherlihed Hie jvoltcy of nnn-lnterfcrenoo
with the affairs of foreign govern men t.
wisely Inaugurated by Washington,
keeping mrsetres free from entangle
ment, lther a allies or foes, content
lo leave undisturbed with them the set
tlement ot their own domestic concerns.
It will tie our aim to pursue a firm anil
dtgntllpd foreign policy which shall be
Just, Impartial, ever-watchful of our na
tional honor and always Insisting tiHm
the enforcement ot the law till rights ot
American cliltctw everywhere. Our
diplomacy should seek nothing more,
and accept nothing leas than Is due us.
We want no wars of conqueat; we must
avoid the temptation of territorial ag
gression. War should never be entered
upon until overy agency of pence has
failed; eace la preferable to war In al
lium every contingency.
It has been the uniform practice ot
oarh president to avoid, aa far as
extraordinary sesaion. Hut n failure to
convene the representatives nt tlte peo
ple In rougreaa In extra session when It
Involves neglect af a public duty, places
the responsibility at such neglect upon
the executive hlmeelf. The condition ot
the public treasury, nn has been Indica
ted, demands the Immediate roneldem
tlnn of rotigreni. It alone haa the power
to provide revenuea for the govern
ment. Not to convene It under such
circumstances, I can view In no other
aetiM tlmn tlte neglect or n plain duty.
I do not HymiMtlilxe with the sentiment
that rattgreee In seaalnn Is dangerous
to our goncntl business Interests. Ita
members nro the agents of the peoplo,
and their presence nt the ont of gov
ernment In the execution ot the ov
erlgn duty should not operate a an In
jury, but n benefit. Thoro could be no
better time to put tho government upon
a sound finnnclnl and economic basis
than now
Tho tinniilfl llflVH DtllV ro-
cently voted Hint this should be done,
ami nothing Is more binding upon tho
ngenta of tholr will than the obligation
!of Immediate notion. It has always
seemed to mo that the postponement of

beouuse unjust to tho Into'-oNts of the
peoplo.
In conclusion. I enngratuinto tho
country Uxm the fralcrnnl spirit ot tho
peoplo and the mnnlfoetltntlon of good
will overywhsre so npimrent. The re
cent election not only most fortunately
demonstrated the obliteration at sec
tional or geographical lines, but to some
extent also tho prejudice which for
years have distracted our council nnd
marred our true greattteaa as a nation.
The triumph of tho people, whose ver
dict Is carried Into effect to-day. is not
the triumph of one section, nor wholly
ot one party, but ot nil section and all
the jieople. The north and south no
longer divide on the old lines, but upon
principles and policies; ami In this fact
surely every lover ot the country can
find cause for true felicitation.
Itt us rejoice and cultivate this
spirit; It Is ennobling, and will bo
both a gain and bleating to our be
loved country. It will be my constant
aim to do nothing and permit nothing
to be done Umt will arrest or disturb
this growing aentlment ot unity and
en-operation, this revival af esteem
and alllllation which now animate so
many thousands In bath old antago
nistic section, but 1 ahalt cheerfully

Increase It.

It was bad luck to look In the mirror

tho godly muldens of that day were

Indeed, there was no other plaeo where
the bride could surely count upon find

nnd groom nnd bridal party opened
the show by proudly walking In a little
procession through the narrow utreets
te the meeting house on lite Sabbath

public notice waa drawn to the bride
by allowing her to choose the text for

From Hie New York Sun: A man
who stood lu front nf the bear pit at
the menagerie In Central Park wn
greatly Interested In observing Just
how the big grlxxly boar took the pen
nuts thnt one of the visitors wn hand
ing him. The bear stood up at nn
angle at about forty-live dugrccH. hind
fret on the Hoar of the pit, ono foro
foot rotting an the stone ledge lu
which the bant ot tho cngo arc Im
bedded, the other extended through tho
bars to take tho peanuts. Ho did not
clutch them under his claws nnd then
turn the claws Inward upon tho ball of
his foot, hut when ho reached out
through the bar he spread his clnwa
apart sideways, aa ono might spread
the lingers of hi hntid apart. The
visitor would place n peanut between
two of the claw, and then the bear
would close the claws together, as ono
would dote the fingers or hi out
stretched hand. He would hold tho
IMinnut between two claws lu tho sntuo
tnnuner that man sometime holds a
cigar between two lingers. Holding It
thus the bear would carry the peanut
to hi mouth; then thrusting hla pnw
out between the bam again he would
open Us elaw out tideway as bpfore,
waiting ror another.
"I suppOfe It mint be nn acquired

referring ta the benr't fondues ror
peanuts,
"I don't know," said another man.
"I'm not so sure hut what thoro are
some plnuos where grizzlies live that
peanuts grow."
"That may be." Held tho solomn-rnrcd
