fully and vigorously upheld Lynchings
must not b.. tolerated in a great and civ
ilized country like the United States:
courts. not lnobs. must execute the pen
alties of the law. The preservation OF
public order. the right Of discussions, the
integrity Of our courts and the orderly
administration Of Justice must continue
forever the rock of safety upon which our
government securely rests.
one of the lessons taught by the late
election, which all can rejoice in. is that
the citizens Of the United States are both
respecting and law-abiding people,
not easily slgerved from the path of pa
triotism and honor. This Is in entire ac-
cord with the genus Of our institutions.

,,culcating even a greater love for law
and order in the future. Immunity
should be granted to none who violate
the law, whether individuals, corpora
tons or communities: and, as the con-

duties Of both it's own execution and OF
the statutes enacted in pursuance Of its
provisions. | shall endeavor carefully to

all combinations Of capital organized In
trusts. or otherwise to control arbi-
trarily. the condition of trade among our
citizens" ard 1t has supported such
legislation as VIII prevent the execution
OF all schemes to Cypress the people by
undue charges on their supplies or by
unjust rates for the transportation OF
their products to market" This pur-
pose viii be steadily pursued, both by
the enforcement of the laws now in ex-
isience and the recommendation and
support of such new statutes as may be
necessary to AIRY il into effect.
Oar naturalization and immigration
laws should he further improved. to the
constant prom otion of a safer. a better
and a higher citizenship. a grave peril
to the republic would be citizenship
too ignorant L. understand or too vicious
to appreciate the great value and bene-
flcence of our institutions and laws
and against all who come here to make
war upon them our gates must be
