sons entertaining political views OPP
posed to those entertained by the ma
jority of the old citizens, prevent I'M
migration and the flow OF much-need-
ed capital into the States lately IN re-
bellior. 1t will be happy condition
of the country when the old citizens OF
these States will take an interest IN
public aff.urs, promulgate ideas hon
estly entertained, vote for men repre-
senting their views, and tolerate the
same freedom OF expression and ballot
in those entertaining different political
convictions.
THE GENERAL POLICY OF THE ADMINS
II TRATIoN.
On my assuming the responsible
duties of Chief Magistrate OF the
United States, it was with CONVICTION
that three things were essential to It's
peace, prosperity, and fullest develop
ment. First among these, is strict H.
tegrity in fulfilling all our obligations
Second, to secure protection to the
person and property of the citizen OF
the United States, III each and every
portion of our common country,
wherever he may choose to move, with
out reference to original nationality,
religion, colors or politics, demanding
of him only obedience to the laws and
proper respect for the rights of others.
Third, union Of al the States-wlth
equal rights-indestruc by any con
stitutional means.
In conclusion, | would sum up the
policy of the Administration to be a
thorough enforcement of every law p;
a faithful collection of every tax pro
vided for; economy in the dlsburse-
ment of the same; prompt payment
of every debt of the nation reduc'
ton Of taxes as rapidly as the require
ments of the country will admit; re-
auctions of taxation and tariff, to be
arranged as to afford the greatest re-
lief to the greatest number; honest
and fair dealings with all other peoples,
to the end that war. with all its blight
ing consequences, may be avoided,
but without surrenderlng any right or
obligation due to us; a reform IN the
treatment of Indians, and IN the whole
civil service of the country and, hnal-
ly, in securing pure untrammeled
ballot, where every man emitted to
cast vote may do so, just once, at
each election, without fear, or moles.
tation, or prescription on account OF
his political faith, nativity, or color.
