THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

On my assuming the responsible duties
OF Chief Magissrat OF the United States,
it was with the conviction that three
things were essential to its peace, pros per-
ity and fullest development. First among
these is strict integrity 10 fulfilling all our
obligations. Second To secure. protec-
ton to the person and property of the
citizens OF the United States in each and
every portion of our common country,
resersncs TO original nationality, religion,
color or politics, demanding of him only
obedience to the laws, and proper respect
ior the rights Of others. Third-Union
OF all the States, with equal rights, in-
destructible by any constitutional means.
10 secure the first of these, Congress ha $
taken two essential steps first, in deolar-
ing by joint resolution that public debt
should be paid, principal aud interest, in
coin and second, by providing the
means tor paying. Providing the means,
however, could not secure the object de-
sired without proper administration of
the laws for the collection OF the revenues,
and au ecouomicl disbursement of them
10 this subject the Administration has
most earnes y addressed itself with results
l hope satisfactory to the country.
