Chief Justice Fuller, in flowing robes,
administered the oath. The new presi-

Senators: To have been elected to

would prize, and the manifest tation Of
confidence which it implies is an honor
which I sincerely appreciate. My
gratitude and loyalty to the people Of

Trusts and MonopoIies.

The declaration of the party now re-
stored to power has been in the past op-
posed to all combinations of capital,
organized in trusts or otherwise, to con-
troll arbitrarily the conditions of trade
among our citizens, and it has support
ed such legislation, as well, as to pre-
vent the execution of all schemes to
oppress the people by undue charges on
their supplies or by unjust rates for
the transportation of their products to
market. This purpose will steadily be
pursued, both by the enforcement of
the law now in existence, and the rec
ommendation and and support of such
new statutes as may be necessary to
carry it into effect.

The responsibilities of the trust to

Need of Currency Revision.
Our financial system needs some revi-
sion; our money is all good now, but its
value must not further be threatened.
It should all be put upon an enduring
basis, not subject to easy attack, nor

currency should continue under the SUI
peryision of the government The sew
eral forms of our paper money offer, in
my judgment, constant embarrass-
ment to the government and to safe
balance in the treasury. Therefore, I
deem it necessary to devise a system,
without diminishing the circulating
medium or offering premium for it's
contraction, which will present rem

porary in their nature, might well, in
times of our prosperity, have been dis
placed by wiser provisions. With ade-
