Economy In Expenditures.
Economy III public expenditure Is duty
that cannot mnocehtlY b neglected by
those FpI pf
drawn from the people for public uses
AT tins time, when a depleted public
treasury corfront~ us, when many Of our
people are engaged in hard struggle for
the necessarles OF life, and when enforced
economy Is pressing upon the great mass
OF our connlrymen, desire TO urge with
all the earncstuess at my command that
congressional legislation be 50 limited by
strict economy to exhibit an apprecia-
ton of the condition Of the treasury and
sympathy with the straitened circum-
stancs of our fellow citizens.
The duty of public economy is also Of i'm
mense Importance in its intimate and nee
essary relation to the task now in hand of
providing revenue to meet government ex-
penditures and yet reducing the peoples
burden Of federal taxation.
Tariff Reform.
After a hard struggle tariff reform il di-
rectly before us. Nothing so important
claims our attention. and nothing so clear
ly presents itself AS both an cnDortunitv
and dutv-an upportuuity 70 deserve the
gratitude of our fellow citizens and "A duty
imposed upon us by our oft repeated pro
fessions and by the emphatic mandate of
the people. After full discussion our coun-
trymen have spoken in favor of til, re-
form, and they have .oufil,d the work of
its accomplishment to the hands of those
who are solemniy pledged To il
IL there is anythin, in the tbeorv of a
representation in public places of the neo-
pie and their desires. if public officer, are
really the servants of "a naor,la md 10
political promises and professions have any
binding force, our failure to give the relief
SO long awaited Will be sheer recreancy.
Nothing should intervene to distract our
attention or disturb our effort Ii It'll this
reform is accomplished by wise and careful
/ legislation.
! While we should stanchly adhere to the
principle that only the necessity of reve-
nue. justifies the imposition of tariff duties
and other federal taxation, and that they
/ should be omitted by strict economy, we
cannot close our eyes to the fact that condi-
! tions hav" grown up among Us which in
/ justice ans fairness call FOL discriminating
+ care in the distribution OF such duties and
taxation as the emergencies of our govern
ment actually demand.
/ Manlftst!y, If We are to aid the people
directly through tariff reform, one Of its
7 most obvious features should be a reduc-
! ton IN present tariff charges upon the nee
essaries Of life. The benefits of such re-
duct,1D would be palpaule and substantial,
