WHICH every e pdtiiotlC IltiHcH, on the farm, in the work shop, in the busy marts of trade, and every where, should share with him. The constitution which prescribes his oath, my cOuntrymen, is yours; the government you have chosen him to administer for a time Is yours; the suffrage which executes the will of freemen is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meeting to the state capitol and the nation al capitol, are yours. Your every voter, as surely as your chief mag istrate, under the same high sane tion, though in different sphere, exercise a public trust. Nor is this all. Every citizen owes to the country yigilant watch and close scrutiny of it public services and a fair and reasonable estmate of their fidelity aud usefulness. Thus is the peoples will impressed upon the whole frame work of our civil pOlicy-municipal, state and federal and this is the price of our liberty aud the inspiration of our faith in the pablic.
 It is the duty of those serving the people in public place to closely limit public expenditures to the actual needs of the government economically administered, because this bounds the right of the govern ment to exact tribute from thu earnings, or property Of citizens and because public extravaganza a. mong the people. We should new CT be ashamed of the simplicity and presidential economies, which are best suited to the operation of d republican form of government compatible with the mission of the American people.

It is the policy of peace suitable to our interests. 1t is the policy of neQlrality in any share in Foreign brolls and am bitions upon tue other continents and repellins their intrusion here. It is the policy of Monroe, Jetier- son and Washington, Peace, com merce and honest frienship with all entangling alliances with none" X due regard for the interests and prosperity of all people command that our finances shall be establish ed upon such a sound and sensible base as will insure the safety and
 confidence of the .businessinterests and make the wage of labor sure and steady, and that our system of revenue shall be adjusted as to re. lieve the people from unnessary taxation, having a due regard to the interests of capital invested and working men employed in American industries, and prevent ing a surplus to accumulate in the treasury to tempt waste and eXtrar yance and waste. Care of the property of the nation and for the needs of the future settlers require that the public domain should be- protected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation. The conscience of the people demands that the Indians within our bounda- ries shall be fairly and honestly treated as wards of the govern ment, and their education and civ ilization promoted with a view to their ultimate citizenship, and that poly gamy in the territories de- structive of the family relation and offensive to the moral sense sf the civilized world shall be suppressed.
