Tariff Revision Necessary.

1t is the settled policy of the govern
ment, pursued from the beginning and
practiced by all parties and administra-
tions, to raise the bulk of revenue from
taxes upon foreign productions entering
the United States for sale and consump-
tion; and avoiding for the most part
every form of direct taxation, except in
time of war. The country is clearly OPP
posed TO any needless additions to the
subjects of internal taxation, and is
committed by its latest popular utter
ances to the system of tariff taxation.
There can be no misunderstanding,
either, about the principle upon which
this tariff taxation shall be levied.
Nothing has ever been made palmer
at general election than that the con-
trolling principle in the raising of rev.
enue on imports is jealous care for
American interests and American la
Dor is wished. The people have de-
clared that such legislation should be
had as will give ample protection and
encouragement to the industries and de-
velopment Of our country. 1t is there
fore earnestly hoped and expected that
congress will at the earliest practicable
moment enact revenue legislation that
shall be fair, reasonable, conservative
and just, and which while supplying
sufficient revenue for public purposes,
will still be signally beneficial and help
full for every section and every enter
prise of the people. To this policy we
are all, of whatever party, firmly bound
by the voice of the peoples power
vastly more potential than the express
sion of any political platform. The
paramount duty of congress is to stop
deficiencies by the restoration of that
protective legislation which has al
ways been the firmest prop of the treas
ury. The passage of such law or
laws would strengthen the credit of the
government, both at home and abroad,
and go far toward stopping the drain
upon the gold reserve, held for the re-
demption of our currency, which has
been heavy and well-nigh constant for
several years.

suited for this spectacular display, 1t
lends itself to the most artistic decora-
tion, and it was never so beautifully
decorated and festooned and lighted as
on this night. The graceful arches
trembled with flowers and greenery,
the colossal columns seemed to grow
out of banks Of flowers, and supported
the iron roof, which was a royal canopy
of white and gold, Hundreds of cana
ries in gold cages tucked away in the
greenery sang merrily, The thousands
of electric lights flashed amid the
flowers and drapery. The artistic effect
of the lights was probably never
equalled, certainly pot surpassed, in
this country.
It was like the portals OF fairyland,
with its vision Of beautiful women, its
myriads Of cleaning ligths, its gorge
GUS massing of colors, its wealth of
blossoms, its pulsations OF music and
the heavy odor of thousands OF per-
fumes.

The rroce..ion Annear..

The crowd had waited patiently in
front Of the stand erected at the east
wing for the procession from the senate
chamber to appear.
When the retiring and incoming
presidents stepped on the platform arm
in arm their appearance was greeted
with thunderous roar Cleveland now
faced an Inauguration audience for the
fourth time, once more than any other
president. As Mckinley walked down
the platform the yells and shouts be-
came deafening, and as he stepped upon
the raised platform he felt compelled to
acknowledge them by bowling right and
left. He then took seat. The press
against the stand was so terrific that
women screamed with pain and several
tainted.
Meantime the procession from the
senate continued. All the time $1,000
people We're straining to keep up the
tremendous applause.

THE PRESIDENTS Speech.

Fellow Citizens: In obedience to the
will OF the people, and in their pres.
ence, by the authority vested in me by
this oath, assume the arduous and re.
sponsible duties of the 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 national trial, and who
will not forsake ns, so long as we obey
His commandments and walk humbly
in His footsteps.
The responsibilities Of the trust to
which ! have been called, always o:
grave Importance, are augmented by
the prevailing business conditions, en-
failing idleness upon willing labor and
loss to useful enterprise. The country
is suffering from industrial disturbances
from which speedy relief must be had.
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1897-03-12

waste and extravaganza, Inadequate
revenue creates distrust and under
mines public and private credit. Neither
should be encouraged. Between more
loans and more revenue there ought to
be but one opinion.
We should have more revenue. and
that without delay, hindrance or i'm
pediment. A surplus in the treasury
created by loans is not permanent or
safe reliance. 1t will suffice while it
lasts, but it cannot last long while the
outlays of the government are greater
than its receipts, as has been the case
during the past two years. Nor must
it be forgotten that however much such
loans may temporarily relieve the stu
alton, the government is still indebted
for the amount of surplus thus accrued,
which it must ultimately pay, while its
ability to pay is not strengthened,
but weakened by continued deficit.
Loans are imperative in great emergen-
cies to preserve the government or its
credit, but a failure to supply needed
revenue in time Of peace for the main
tenance of either has no justification.
The best way for the government to
maintain its credit is to pay as it goes
not by resorting to loans, but by keep
ing out of debt--through an adequate
income, secured by system of taxa
lion, external or internal, or both.

While oaths were being administered,
Cleveland and Mckinley sat talking in
a low tone. It was clearly a most
agreeable change. for the old and new
presidents smiled now and then, as they
nodded acquiescence to each other.
1t was l:05 p. NJ. when the last oath
had been administered, and the formal
exit began, the supreme justices going
first, Mr.. Cleveland, President McKin-
Icy and other officials following. Just
before the official party withdrew, Mrs.
Mckinley and the mother Of the presi-
dent were escorted from the gallery to
the east front Of the capitol, where the
oath of Office was to be taken by the
new president. The occupants of the
public gallery were held in their places
for some time in order not to block the
procession OF officials. Gradually the
chamber was deserted.

Government Must Economize.

The credit OF the government, the in
tegrity of the currency and the inviol-
ability of its obligations must be pre-
served. This was the commanding YER
dict of the people, and it will not be
unheeded. Economy is demanded in
every branch of the government at all
times, but especially in periods like
the present depression of business and
distress among the people. The sever
est economy must be observed in all
public expenditures and extravaganza
stopped wherever found, and prevented
wherever in the future it may be de-
veloped. If the revenues are to remain
as now, the only relief that can come
must be from decreased expenditures.
But the present must not become the
permanent condition of the government.
1t has been our uniform practice to re-
tire, not increase, our outstanding obli-
cations, and this policy must be again
resumed and vigorously enforced,
Our revenues should always be large
enough to meet with ease and prompt
ness not only our current needs and the
principal and interest of che public
debt, but to make proper and liberal
provisions for that most deserving body
of public creditors, the soldiers and
sailors and widows and orphans who
are the pensioners of the United States.

Reelnnlnr o. the ceremonIes.

The presidential family party arrived
at the capitol at ll:40, and entered the
east reserved gallery. Mrs. Mckinley
and her sister, Mrs Barber, took front
seats. Mrs Mckinley, sr., was two
seats from Mrs. Mckinley, jr., and the
two bent forward frequently for an ex-
change OF happiness.
The diplomatic corps entered the
chamber at ll:45, followed a moment
later by the chief justice and associate
justices Of the United States supreme
court. Members,of the house Of repre-
sentatives then entered. There was a
stir when the senate officials announced
Vice-President-elect Mr.. Hobart, who
stepped TO seat near the presiding
officers desk.
