of Mckinley will go down in history
as excelling all that have gone before.
In beauty, in taste, in novelty, the
decorations of the city were incompar-
ably superior to anything ever seen in
Washington. The magnificent body
of regular United States troops was
more numerous than any gathered
since General Grants great display at
the close of the war. Seventeen SOW
ereign states had their citizens in the
line of the parade and over sixty civil
organizations helped swell its magni-
fcent proportions. Along the broad
avenue on every open space were
erected grand stands of appropriate
design and elaborate finish, all of
which were crowded with unnumbered
hosts of people.
AT 9:55 Senator Sherman and Sena-
tor Mitchell of Wisconsin of the Sen
ate committee appointed to conduct
the inauguration, appeared at the Eb-
bitt house and announced that they
had come to escort the president-elect
to the capitol. They were admitted at
once and exchanged greetings with
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley, who were
chatting with Captain William II.

slowly to the White house while the
crowds cheered generously.
1t was just 1920 o'clock when Mr..
Mckinley, accompanied by the senate

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS,

Speaks to the Multitude.
The head of the Presidential pro-
cession appeared on the inaugural
stand at 1?:45 o'clock, when Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Mckinley appeared to-
gether. The mighty throng broke
forth into prolonged cheers.
At lis o'clock President Mckinley
took the oath of Office administered by
Chief Justice Fuller az then delivered
his inaugural address as follows:
Fellow Citizens: In obedience to the will
of the people and in their presence, by the

TO THE NATIONS CAPITOL

President and President-Elect Accom-
panied by an Imposing Military Display.
As soon as the Mckinley carriage
entered the White House grounds the
first detachment of the procession, con-
sisting of a platoon of fifty mounted
! police, moved down from the Airing
ton plaza. and followed by the Govern
or's Island band of fifty pieces, turned
down Fifteenth street. The battalion
of Uuited States engineers wheeled
into line, followed by General Porter
and 200 mounted aids. Then came the
marines, headed by the United States
Marine band, and then the bluejackets
with their accustomed burden of
canteens, haversacks and side arms
and trailing with them their boat guns
mounted for shore service. The light
battery followed, and when they had
turned into Fifteenth street. halted
under the shadow of the magnificent
treasury portico.
There was a slight psase and then
the presidential carrfa55 rolled down
the avenue to the rear of the cavalry
squadron.
President Cleveland, with Mr.. Nc
Kinley on his left, leaned back with a
smile on his face. He looked pleased
as well as contented. but he did not
return the salute of the crowds on
either side.
With the President and Major Nc
Kinlev in the carriage were Sc nator
John Sherman, the incoming Secretary
of State, wrapped in big overcoat
with high fur collar, and Senator
Mitchell of Wisconsin. Behind the
presidential carriage, riding in soli-
tary state, was John Addison Porter,
private secretary of the President
elect. In the third carriage were At
torney General Harmon and Secreta-
ries Lamont and Carlisle. The fourth
contained Postmaster General Wilson
and Secretary Herbert: the fifth, Sec
retaries Francis and Morton: the sixth
and last, General Miles and the men,
bers of his staff
The black horse troop forming the
Presidents escort fell in with the rear
of the carriages.
Following the Cleveland troop came
Colonel Cecil Clay, commander of the
District of Columbia National Guard
with glittering staff Of jingling es-
cort of aides. There were 1900 men
in this division, all of them in the uni
form of the National Guard. They
were very soldierly looking body of
men and formed fitting rear guard to
the great initial pageant of the day.
Being all in line the parade moved
down the avenue through black mass
of cheering thousands.
All along the line of march to the
capitol there were great outbursts of
popular enthusiasm Mr.. Mckinley
lifted his hat at intervals.
1t was twenty minutes past Il when
the head of the parade reached Peace
monument on Pennsylvania avenue
below the steps to the west front of
the capitol The parade was twenty
five minutes passing the monument,
and the manner in which the regulars
executed the difficult movements re-
quired to make the double turn about
the corners was decidedly brilliant

railroad. and eovernmen,.

James A. Garfield once said in con-
gress: Since the dawn of history the
great thoroughfares have belonged to
the people, have been known as the
kings highways or the public high
ways. and have been open to the free
use OF all on payment of a small uni
form tax or toll to keep them in repair.
But now the most perfect and by far
the most important roads known to
mankind are owned and managed as
private property by a comparatively
small number of private citizens. -
These corporations have become con-
sc1ous OF their strength and have enter
ed upon the work of controlling the
states. Already they have captured
some of the oldest and strongest of
them, and these discrowned soverei0ns
now follow in chains the triumphal
chariot of their conquerors. And this
does not imply that merely the officers
and representatives of states have been
subjected to the railroads, but that the
corporations have grasped the sources
and fountains of power and control the
choice of both officers and representa-
tives."

The diagnosis of the treasury officials
we are sorry to say, is not sustained by
facts If gold exports were caused by
imports of merchandise, tho rates of
sterling exchange would register that
fact. But there is no scarcity of bills
in the exchange market and the high
est quotation is 80, which is not
sufficient to yield any profit on gold
shipments.
But the heavy imports of goods as
the result of the tariff bill will un-
doubtedly have their effect after
awhile, and will add seriously to sit
uation that is already felt by business
men to be serious. There are symp-
toms in the New York papers that go
to show very nervous and anxious
feeling as to the business outlook.
For while the commercial agencies
were induced to add dab of rosiness
to their reports, but these agencies
cannot afford to add too much color to
their information, and we now find
them presenting the situation as it
really is.
All hands have done their best to
play the game of make-believe-the
glib orator and the gifted editor.
1t is said there is to be great reviv-
al when the tariff bill becomes a law.
But it 1t will be the game of make-be-
g., ~
who havedlad their interests cared for
in this morstrous measure will make a
great hurrah in the matter of putting
their machinery in operation. Enthu-
siasm will be kindled in various quar-
tiers as the roar and racket of the mills
fall on the ear.
But the end of it all will be unsal-
able stocks piled up in the warehouses.
The result is as certain as if it had al
ready happened, and the reason simple
enough to be comprehended by an
eight-year-old child. The tariff may
enable the manufacturer to put high
er price on his goods, but it does not
give purchasers cent more than they
have now. Therefore, if consumers
have no money with which to buy goods
at present prices, where will they get
it when prices are higher?
What will the republican party do
about it? How will it escape the re-
suits of the fraud it is perpetrating on
the people? And how will the gold
men convince the people that their
standard of value is either honest or
desira ble?-Atlanta Constitution.

Justice for the Railways.

Over the entrance to the great build
Ing devoted to transportation at the
Worlds Fair was written these words
from Lord Bacon: There are three
things which make a nation great: fer
tile fields, busy workshops and easy
transportation of ma and goods from
place to place"
We have the fertile fields and we
have had the fruits resulting from the
rest of the proposition. We have be-
come great. The present condition of
our workshops and our railways sug-
gests the consideration of the problem
whether both cannot increase our
greatness and national prosperity IL
the railways are placed upon q strong
er financial foundation than they are
now struggling upon.
The conditions of railway transport
tation are such that it is practically
impossible, except in a few special in
stances, to maintain for a long period
rates which are exorbitant. Railway
managers have rarely failed to appre-
ciate the fact that the development Of
commerce along their lines, and the
consequent prosperity of the projectors,
depend largely upon easy transporta-
ton coupled with low rates. Look at
our railway stocks as reported by the
last government report, that of 1895;

We shall expect presently to see the
republican newspapers pointing with
pride to the fact that from the moment
president Mckinley took Office the rev.
enues began to increase. Within the
first month the average deficit in the
revenues of So, OO0, 900 was as by magic
changed to a surplus of 100000. 1t
will be claimed-and it cannot be de-
nied-that this is all due to the pro-
posed tariff. 1t is mainly due to the
efforts of American manufacturers to
get their raw material before the new
tariff shall deprive them of all chance
of profit. But that fact will be sedu-
lousy concealed.-NewY York Times.

Moro Cold Exports.

The Constitution remarked some
time ago that whenever there is a de-
mand for gold in any part of the world
the pressure of that demand will ulti-
mately fall on the United States treas
ury. This demand comes just now
from Austria and Japan. Austria is
carrying to conclusion the system in
augurated few years ago, but Japan
is new factor in the gold market, hay
ing been induced to make gold the unit
of value by the arguments of the Euro
pean money lenders. Having once
taken the step, Japan has gone about
the matter with the extraordinary ac-
tivity that marks all her adventures
and enterprises, and has succeeded in
sending the yellow metal to a premium
in London.
ostensibly the Bank of England has
been supplying the demand, but now
it is falling on our treasury. By next
Tuesday night about SIS, OOO, 900 of gold
will have gone abroad, and the outflow
will be limited only by the amount
that Austria and Japan need for their
purposes. The European banks will
not surrender their gold for export to
Japan, except in so far rs they can Sc
sure it from the United States treas
ury.
1t is stated with fine numor that
there is no alarm felt by the treasury
officials at these exports. This is un-
aoubtedly true The treasury officials
60 not hold Office for the purpose of be.
ing alarmed. It is also stated that the
''older officials" attribute the outflow
TO the large imports on account of the
tariff. If this statement is true, Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Dingley should look
after these colder officials" To at
tribute gold exports and their probable
results to the republican tariff bin ID
