the extent that they can be reached
and restrained by federal power the
general government should relieve our
citizens from their interference and ex-
actions
Loyalty to the principles upon which
our government rests poSitivay de
mands equality before the law, which it
guarantees every citizen. The ENJOY
ment Of this right follows the badge Of
wherever found. and, I'M
impaired by race or color, it appeals
for recognition to American manliness
and fairness.
Our relations with the Indians located
within our borders impose upon US re-
spOnsibilities we cannot escape. HUI
mainly and consistency require us to
treat them with forbearauce, and In our
dealings with them to honestly and con
sidedately regard their rights and III
tereSts Every effort should be made
to lead them through the paths of
civilization and education to self-sup-
porting and independent citizenship.
IN the meantime as the nations wards
they should be promptly defended

wisely and without yindictiveness Our
mission is not punishment but the right
ing OF wrong. If TO tighten the burdens
from the daily life of our people we
reduce the iuordnate and unequal adj
vantages long enjoyed, this is but a
necessary incident of our return to right
and justice. If we exact from unwill-

of honest distribution Of the fund of
governmental bcnefcence treasured up
for all, we but insist upon the princi-

Sions and misconceptions which have
blinded our counuymcn to their con
dition under vicious tariff laws, we but
show them how far they have been led
away from the paths of contentment
and prosperity. When we proclaim
