In dealing with our present embarrassing
situation as related to this subject we will be
wise if we temper our confidence and faith
in our national strength and resources, with
the frank concession that even these will
not permit US to defy with impunity the mex
orabie laws Of finance and trade. At the same
time. in our efforts to adjust differences of
opinion we should be free from intolerance or
passion, aud our judgments should be unmoved
by alluring phrases and unvexed by selfish in
terests.
am confident that such an approach to the
subject will result in prud ent and effective
remedial legislation. In the meantime. SO far
as the executive branch of the government can
intervene, none Of the powers with which it is
invested will be withheld, when their exercise
is deemed necessary to maintain our national
credit avert financial disaster.
Closely related to the exaggerated confidence
in our countrys greatness which tends to a dis
regard of the rules of national safety, another
danger confronts us not less serious. l refer to

disappoint those persons who had stood in the
storm for hours waiting to see him.
This same consideration influenced Mr.
Cleveland to brave the weather. Few Of the
Senators and members of the House, however.

group in attendance upon him.
The ceremony was got through with at
speedily as possible, and what the crowd lacked

servants the duty of exposing and destroying
the brood of kindred evils which are the un-
wholesome progeny Of paternalism. This is
the bane of republican institutions and the
constant peril of our government by the peo-
pie. 1t degrades to the purposes of willy craft
the plan OF rule our fathers established and be-
queathed to US object Of our love and
veneration. 1t perverts the patriotic senti-
ment OF our countrymen, and tempts them to a
pitiful calculation of the sordid gain to be de
rived from their governments maintenance.
1t undermines the self-reliance of our people,
and substitutes in its place dependence upon
governmental fayoritsm. 1t sufes the spirit
OF true Americanism and stupefes every en-
noblIng trait OF American citizenship.
The lessons of paternalism ought to be un-
learned and the better lesson taught, that
while the people should patriotically and cheer
fully support their government it's functions
do not include the support CT the people.
The acceptance of this principle leads to a
refusal Of bounties and subsidies, which burden
the labor and thrift Of a portion Of OUT citi-
zens, to aid lll-advsed or lauguishing enter
prises in which they have no concern. 1t leads
also to a challenge of wild and reckless pension
expenditure, which overleaps the bounds of
grateful recognition Of patriotic service and
prostitutes to vicious uses the peoples prompt
and generous impulse to aid those disabled in
their country's defense.

Every thoughtful American must realize the
Importance OF checking at its beginning any
tendency in public or private station, to re.
gard frusaiity and economy as virtues which VIC
may safely outgrow. The federation of this
idea results in the waste OF the peoples money
by their chosen servants, and encourages prod
igality and extravaganza in the home Life OF
our countrymen.
Under our scheme Of government the waste
OF public money is q crime against the citizen,
and the contempt Of our people for economy
and fruRality in their personal affairs deplor-
ably saps the strength and sturdiness OF our
national character. 4
It Il plain dictate Of honesty and good gov
ernnaent that public expenditures should be
limited by public necessity and that this should
be measured by the rules Of strict economy,
and it 10 equally clear that frugality among the

our citizens from their interference and ex-
actions.
Loyalty to the principles upon which our
government rests positively demands that the
equality before the law which it guar lntees to
every citizen should be justly and in good faith
conceded in all parts Of the land. The enjoy
ment of this right follows the badge of CITIZEN
ship wherever found, and, unim, aired by race
or color, it appeals for recognition to American
maniness and fairness.
Our relations with the Indians located within
our borders impose upon us responsibilities we
cannot escape. Humanity and consistency
require us to treat them with forbearance,
and in our dealings with them to honestly
and considerably regard their rights and
interests. Every effort should be made to lead
them. through the paths of civilization and
education, to self-supporting and independent
citizenship. In the meantime, as the nations
wards they should be promptly defended against
the cupidity of designing men and shielded
from every influence or temptation that re-
tards their advancement.
The people of the United States have decreed
that on this day the control of their govern
ment in its legislative and executive branches
shall be given to a political party pledged
in the most positive terms to the accom-
plishment Of tariff reform. They have
thus determined in favor of more Just and
equitable system. Of federal taxation. The
