trust, into greater prosperity than
ever before, with its paying capacity
twenty-five years ago, and calculate
what it will probably be twenty-five
years hence, who al doust the feasibiE
lily of cur paying every dollar then,
with more ease than eae now pay for
useless luxuries. Why 1t looks ns If
Providence had bestowed upon us a
strong tOx, while the precious metals
locked up in the sterile mountains Of the
far West is the key to unlock it, to meet
the very contingency that is now upon
Us. Ultimately it may be necessary to
increase the facilities TO reach these
nucleus, andait may be necessary also
that the general Government should
give its aid to secure this access, but that
should only be when q dullhr of obliga-
ton to pay secures precisely the same
sort Of dollar to use now as before.
Whilst the question of specie payment Is
IN allegiance, the business man IL careful
about contracting debts, psyable in the
distant future, and the nation should fol-
low q similar rule. A Frustrated com
merce to rebuild, and with all the indus
tries encouraged, the young men of the
country, those who from their age must
be it's rulers twenty-one years hence,
have q peculiar interest in maintaining

ton ss to what will be our command
ing influence among the nations Of
the earth in their day, il they are
only true to themselves, should
inspire them with national pride. All
divisions geographical, political and
religious, eODj0in in this common senti-
menf. "How the debt is to be paid, or
specie payment resumed ?n is not so Inn
portant, as thst plan should be adopted
and acQuiesced in. A united determi-
nation to do is worth more than q di-
vided council. A method OF doing this
by legislation may not be necessary
now, or ven admissible, but it will be
when the civil law ia more fully re-
stored In all parts of the country
and trade resumes its wonted channels.
1t viii be my endeavoF to exscuts all
the laws in good faith, to collect all the
revenues assessed, and to have them
properly accounted for and economically
ity, appoint to Office those only who will
carry out this design.
In regard to our foreign policy, l would
deal with nations q tquitably as the
law requires individuals to deal with
other and | would protect all law
abiding citizens, whether OF native or
foreign birth, wherever mis- rights are
jeOpsrdiZsd or the flag of our country
/ would respect the rights of all
nations, demanding equal respect for our
own, and il others depart from this rule
in dealing with US, We may be compelled
to follow their precedent.
The proper treatment Of the original
occupants Of this land, the Indians, is
one deserving careful study. l will IA
vor any course towards them which
tends to their civilization, Ch~ristianizing
and ultimate citiE snship.
The question OF suffrage is one which
is likely to sgitate the public so long as a
of the citizens Of the nation are
excluded from lite privileges in any State.
IL seems to me to be very desirable that
this question should be settled now. I
ths hope and express the
hope that It may be by tbs ratification OF
the 18th amendment TO the Constitution.
In conclusion, / ask the patient for.
bssrsnes Of one towards another
the lsnG, and q determined
effort on the part OF every cIti7sn to do
his share towards enervating a happy
Union, and l ask the prayers of the
nation to AlGighty God in behalf of
his communication.
