sad:
My FcllOw-C citizens: In Obedience t.
the mandate of my countrymen | am
about to dedicate myself to their serv-
ice under the sanction Of Il solemn oath.
Deeply moved by the expression Of con-
tidence and personal attachment which
has called me to this service, | am sure
my gratitude can make no better return
than the pledge | can give before God
and these witnesses OF unreserved and
complete devotion to the interests and
welfare of those who have honored me.
] deem it fitting while indicating my
opinions on public questions Of present
importance to refer briefly to the tend
encies among our people which at this
time threaten the integrity and useful
ness of their government. Every Amer
lean contemplates with pride the growth
of the country, the strength of its insti-
t~utions, the thrift of the people, the SUI
periority of a free government. We
must watch for every infirmity that
threatens the national vigor.
Nothing is more vital to our ,suprem-
acy as a nation thar a sound, stable cur
rency. In dealing with our present stu
alton as related to this subject we must
temper our confidence and faith in ma
tional strength at the same time endeav-
oring to adjust differences of opinion.
We must be free from intolerance OF
passion and unvexed by selfish interests.
The executive branch of the govern
ment will exercise all power to MAINTAIN
the national credit and avert financial
disaster.
Another great danger is the DISPOSE
ton to expect direct individual advan-
tage from the operation of the govern
ment. We, as the peoples servants, have
the duty of exposi' & and destroying a
a brood of kindred evils which are the
unwholsome progeny OF p%aternalism.
This is the bane of republican institu-
tions and the constant peril Of our gov
eminent by the people. 1t degrades to
the purpose Of willy craft the plan of rule
our fathers established and bequeathed
to us as an object OF our love and ven,
Grafton. Lessons of ~paternalism ought
to be learned and the better lessons
taught that while the people should
practically and cheerfully support their
government, its functions do not include
the support Of the people, Acceptance
Of this principle leads to a refusal Of the
bounties and subsidies which burden
the labor and thrift Of a portion Of our
citizens to aid i'll advised or languieh.
