The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-03-05


Fellow Citizens In obedience to the
Will of the people and In their presence
by the authority vested in me by this
oath, l assume the arduous and response
BILE duties of president of the United
States, relying on the support OF my
countrymen and invoking the guidance
of Almighty God. Our faith teaches that
there is no safer reliance than upon the
God of our fathers, who has so singularly
favored the American people in every ma
tional trial and who will not forsake us
SO long as we obey His commandments
and walk humbly in His footsteps.
CURRENCY REVENUE. INDUSTRY.
The responsibilities of the high trust to
which | have been called-always of
grave importance-are augmented by the
prevailing business conditions, entailing
idleness upon willing labor and loss to
useful enterprises The country is suf-
fering from industrial disturbances from
which speedy relief must be had. Our
financial system needs some revision: our
money is all good now, but its value must
not further be threatened. 1t should all
be put upon an enduring basis, not sub
ject to easy attack, nor its stability to
doubt or dispute. Our currency should
continue under he supervision of the
government. The several forms of our
paper money offer, in my judgment, Il
constant embarrassment to the govern
ment ana safe balance in the treasury.
Therefore, | believe it necessary to de-
wise a system which, without diminishing
the circulating medium or Offering a
premium for its contraction, will present
remedy for those arrangements, which.
temporarily in their nature might well in
the years of our prosperity have been
displaced by proper provisions
WHEN FISCAL LAWS MAY BE
With an adequate revenue secured, but
not until then, we can enter upon such
changes in our fiscal laws as will, while
insuring safety and volume to our money,
no longer impose upon the government
the necessity of maintaining so large a
gold reserve, with its attendant and in
evitable temptations to speculation.
Most of our financial laws are the out
growth of experience and trial, and
should not be amended without investi-
cation, and demonstration of the wisdom
of the proposed changes We must be
both sure we are right, and make haste
slowly" IT, therefore, congress in it's
wisdom shall deem it eXpedient to create
a commission to take under early conSid-
GRAFTON the revision of our coinage, bank
ing and currency laws, and give them the
exhaustive, careful and dispassionate eX-
animation that their Importance demands
| shall cordially concur in such action.
If such power is vested in the president
of nromina,t vol inror,,,ad niti,a,,,, of
different parties, who will command pub
lie confidence both on account of their
ability and special fitness for the work
Business experience and public training
