chosen deprived Congress too often of
the inspiration Of the popular will, and
tna countr, vi the corresponding Gene
fits. 1t is evident, therefore, that to
postpone action in the presence OF so
great necessity would be unWise on tho
part of the Executive because unjust to
the interests of the people. Our actions
now will be freer from partisan consider
alton than ii the question of tariff re-
vision was postponed until the regular
session OF Congress. We are nearly two
years from Congressional election, and
politics cannot so greatly distract us as
if suoh a contest WAS impending. We can
approach the problem calmly and pat
rIotically without fearing its effect u pom
an early election. Our fellow citizens
who may disagree with US upon the
character of this legislation prefer to
have the question settled now, even
against their preconceived views, and
perhaps settled SO REASONABLY. as truss
and believe it will be, as to insure great
permanence, than to have further uncer-
talnty menacinR the vast and varisd
business interests of the United States.
Again, whatever action Congress may
take will be given fair opportunity for
trial before the people are called to pass
Judgment upon 1t, and 1t Is, consider.
a great essential to the rightful and last
ing settlement of the question. In view
Of these considerations I shall deem it
my duty as President to convene Con-
eress in extraordinary session on Mon
day, the fifteenth day of March, 1897.
IN CONCLUSION.
In conclusion congratulate the coun-
try upon the fraternal spirit. of the people
in the manifestations Of good will every
where go apparent. The recent election
not only most fortunately demonstrated
the obliueration of sectional or geographic
cal lines, but to some extent also the
prejudioes which for years have distract
ed our councils and marred orr true
greatness as nation. The triumph Of
the people whose verdict is carried into
effect today is not the triumph OF one
section nor wholly of one party, but of
North and the South no longer divide On
the old lines, but upon principles and
policie S, and in this fact surely every
lover of country can find cause for true
felicitation. 1t will be my constant en-
deavor to do nothing that will arrest or
disturb this growing sentiment of unity
and cooperation, this revival Of esteem

Distic sections, but I shall cheerf ully 90
every thing possible to promote. and in

Let me again repeat the words of the
oath administered by the chief 1usti &c,
which in their respective spheres so far
as applicable / would have all my ooun-
trynen observe: 81 will faithfully exc
cute the office of President of the United
States and will to the best of IN, ability

tuition Of the United States.' This is to

the forbearance and assistance of all the
people in the discharge of my solemn re-
sponsi bilitias.

PRESIDENT M cK1NLEY's INAUGURAL


President MoKinley's inaugural ad
dress foreshadows in broad way the
policy which his administration will en-
deayor to pursue in directing the affairs
of the government. 1t is plain and
straightforward, with little attempt at
adornment and no striving after rhetori-
cal effect.
II the President has arranged his topics
in the order of what he deems their rela-
tive Importance he. regardsEthe currency
questionsas the most pressing, inasmuoh
as he gives first place to it. Perhaps he
does not mean that. though that would
not be far from right. Certain
IL the currency question and the
question of revenue are the two
main questions to be Immediately at
tackled and settled, and they are more or
less allied to one another. The President
makes it obvious enough that be thinks
theTgreenhacks should be retired. and
that while the government should still
continue to supervise the currency it
should not be directly responsible for
its issue or it's redemption. He favors
the scheme of the indianapolis oonven-
ton for commission made up
from both parties that shall draw up a
comprehensive plan for the reform Of
the currency. He expresses bis intention
to do all in his power to further the set
| Element of this silver question by means
of an international conference, but pend
| ing such u decision he says that our sill
yer currency must BIZ kept at par with
gold by the government
Passing to the question of revenue he
says that the income of the government
must be brought up to its expenditures.
! He urges rigorous economy in appropri-
alton, and of course the means he recon
mends for increas sing the revenue is a
protective tariff, that shall discriminate
in favor of American products and
American manufactures while adding to
our income. The reciprocity features of
| the last Republican tariff law are warm
lily commended, and the Incorporation
of similar features in the new bill is
strongly urged. The duty of Congress to
conserve the rights of the people and to
see that There is no inequality
before the law, is vigorously
urged. Trusts and combinations
that restrict our trade are condemned
and legislation urged for their restraint.
His remarks upon Immigration are di-
rectly In tie line of the bill which was
recently passed and indicate that If he
had been the President it would not
have encountered veto. The spirit OF
the civil service law is warmly COM
mended and it is made clear that it will
be lived up to duriag his incumbenoy.
The arbitration treaty with Great Brit
aih is strongly advocated, and he urges
early action by the Senate upon it as a
"Juty to mankind" ia Finally, in view
of the present deficiency of our revenues
and the necessity of removing it, he an
nounces his intention to call Congress In
extra session on the fifteenth day OF
March.
| The address is an excellent one
in every respect and will do much to re-
store confidence to the country.

CONGRESS TO BE CONVENED
It has been the uniform practice of
Presidents to avoid as far as possible the
converting of Congress in extraordinary
session. 1t is an example which under
ordinary circumstances and in the alb
senoe of public necessity is to be com.

representatives of the people i n Congress
in extra session when 1t involves neglect
of public duty places the responsibility
Of such neglect upon the Executive him
self. The condition of the public treas
