itism. 1t stiles the spirit of true Amer
icanism and stupefies every ennobnng
trait of American citizenship.
The lessons of paternalism ought to be
unlearned and better lessons taught, that
while people should periodically and
cheerfully support their Government, its
functions CO not include support OF the
people. The acceptance Of this principle
leads TO the refusal of bounties and SUBJ
sides, which burden the labor and thrift
Of a portion of our citizens to aid IL
advised or languishing enterprises, in
which they have no concern. 1t leads also
TO the challenge of wild and reckless PEN
sion expenditure, which overleaps the
bounds OF grateful recognition OF pa
triotic service, and prostitutes to vicious

impulses to aid those disabled in their
country's defense.
Every thoughtful American must realize

as virtues which we may safely out

tain conditions and tendencies among our
people, which seem to menace the integ-
rity and usefulness Of their Government.
While every American citizen must con-
template with utmost pride and enthu-
siasm the growth and expansion of our
country, the sufficiency of our institutions
TO stand against the rudest shocks Of
violence and the wonderful thrift and
enterprise OF our free Government, II be-
hOoves us TO constantly watch for every
symptom Of insidious infirmity that
threatens our national vigor.
The strong man, who in the confidence
Of sturdy health courts the earnest activi-
ties of life and rejoices in the hardihood
Of constant labor, may still have lurking
near his vitals unheeded disease that
dooms him to sudden collapse. 1t cannot
be doubted that our stupendous
achievements as people and
our country's robust strength
have given rise TO heedlessness
OF those laws governing our national
health, which we can no more evade than
human life can escape the laws of God
and nature.
Manifestly nothing Is more vital TO our
supremacy as a nation and to the bene-
fcent purposes of our Government than
sound and stable currency. Its exposure
TO degradation should at once arouse to
activity the most enlightened statesman

purchasing power Of wages paid TO toll
should furnish the strongest incentive 10

the stand, and after few minutes delay
stepped to the front and began the de-
livery Of his inaugural address.
He followed the same course pur-
sued by himself eight years ago-of de-
livering his address first and taking the
oath afterwards.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly incle-
ment weather, Mr.. Cleveland removed
his silk hat. and with barred head ad-
dressed the multitude. He kept his over
coat on and secured what warmth he
could for the fingers of his right hand
by keeping it in his overcoat pocket, hold
ing his hat at his side in his left hand,
which was unprotected from the weather
by gloves. The wind had been rising
and turning colder ever since noon, and

tended with considerable personal dis
comfort, but he gave no sign OF it. and
steadily continued his address until the
