cure the most efficient service of the best
men who would accept appointment I'M
der the Government, retaining faithful
and devoted public servants in office, but
shielding none under the authority of any
rule or custom who are inefficient, incom-
petent or unworthy. The best interests
of the country demand this and the peo-
pie heartily approve the law wherever
and whenever it has been thus admin
istered
Congress should give prompt attention
to the restoration of our American mer-
chant marine, once the pride of the seas
in all the great ocean highways of COM
merce. To my mind, few more important
subjects so imperatively demand its intel
Ggent consideration. The United States
has progressed with marvellous rapidity
in every field of enterprise and endeavor.
until we have become foremost in nearly
all the great lines Of inland trade, com
merce and industry. Yet, while this IS
true, our American merchant marine has
been steadily declining until it is now
lower. both in the percentage of tonnage
and the number of vessels employed, than
it was prior to the civil war.
Commendable progress has been made
y
American navy, but we must supplement-
these efforts by providing as proper con-
sort for it merchant marine amply suf-
fcient for our carrying trade to foreign
countries. The question is one that ap-
peals both to our business necessities and
the patriotic aspirations of a great people.
Foreign Policy.
1t has been the policy of the United
States since the foundation of the Gov
eminent to cultivate relations ofspeace
and amity with all the nations of the
world, and this accords with my concep-
ton of our duty now. We have cherished
the policy of non-interference with the
affairs of foreign Governments, wisely In
auEurated by Washington, keeping our
selves free from ENHANCEMENT either as
allies or foes, content to leave undisturb-

of labor to our own people, but tend to in
crease their employment.
The depression of the last four years
has fallen with especial severity upon the
great body of the country, and upon none
more than the holders of small farms.
Agriculture has languished and labor suf-
fered. The revival of manufacturing will
be relief to both. No portion of our pop
ulation is more devoted to the institutions
of free government, nor more loyal in
their support, while none bears more
cheerfully or fully its proper share in the
maintenance of the Government, or is
better entitled to it's wise and liberal care
and protection. Legislation helpful to the
producer is beneficial to all. The depress-
ed condition of industry on the farm and
in the mine and factory has lessened the
ability of the people to meet the demands
upon them, and they rightfully expect that
not only a system of revenue shall be es-
tablished that will secure the largest in
come with the least burden, but that ev-
cry means will be taken to decrease rather
than increase our public expenditures.
Business conditions are not the most
promising.
1t will take time to restore the prosperity
of former years. If we cannot promptly
attain it, we can resolutely turn our faces
in that direction and aid it's return by
friendly legislation. However trouble
some the situation may appear, Congress
will not, l am sure, be found lacking in
disposition or ability to relieve it, SO far
as legislation can do so. The restoration
of confidence and the revival of business,
which men Of all parties so much desire,
depend more largely upon the prompt, en-
ergetic and intelligent action of Congress,
than upon any other single agency affect
ing the situation.
Duties of Citizenship.
1t is inspiring, too, to remember that no
great emergency in the los years of our
eyentful national life has ever arisen that
has not been met with wisdom and cour-
age by the American people, with fidelity

| maintain it's credit is to pay as it goes
not by resorting to loans, but by keeping
out of debt-through an adequate income
secured by system of taxation, external
or internal, or both. 1t is the settled pol
icy of the Government, pursued from the
beginning and practiced by all parties and
administrations, to raise the bulk of our
revenue from taxes upon foreign produc
tons entering the United States for sale
and consumption-and avoiding for the
most part every form of direct taxation,
except in time of war. The country is
clearly opposed to any needless additions
to the subjects of internal taxation, and
is committed by its latest popular utter
ance 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 a general
election than that the controlling princi-
pie in the raising of revenue on imports
is Jealous care for American interests and
American labor. The people have de-
clared that such legislation should be had
as will give ample protection and en-
couragement to the industries and the
development 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 helpful to every
section and every enterprise of the people.
To this policy, we are all, of whatever
party, firmly bound by the voice Of the
people-a power vastly more potential
than the expression of any political plat
form. The paramount duty of Congress
is to stop deficiencies by the restoration of
that protective legislation which has al
ways been the frmest prop of the treasury.
The passage of such law or laws would
strengthen the credit of the Government
both at home and abroad, and go far to-
ward stopping the drain upon the gold re-
serve held for the redemption of our cur
rency which has been heavy and well-nigh
constant for several years.
Reciprocity.
In the revision of the tariff, especial at
tention should be given to the re-enact-
ment and extension of the reciprocty
principle of the law of 1890, under which
so great a stimulus was given to our for
eign trade in new and advantageous mar
kets, for our surplus agricultural and
manufactured products. The brief trial
given this legislation amply justifes a
further experiment and additional discre-
tionary power in the making of CONNER.
cal treaties, the end in view always to be
the opening up of new markets for the
products of our country, by granting con-
cessions to the products of other lands
that we need and cannot produce our
selves, and which do not involve any loss

inaugural address,.
There have been many inaugurations in
Washington, but in many respects that of
March 4, 1897, will go down in history as
eXcelling all that have gone. before. The
citizens of the capital city worked to that
end with a degree of energy unknown,
and the great popular demonstration was
unique and shining success in every
particular. In beauty, in taste, in novelty

ical lines, but to some extent also the
prejudices which for years have distract
ed our councils and married our true
greatness as a nation. The triumph Of
the people, whose verdict is carried into
effect to-day, is not the triumph of one
section, nor wholly of one party, but of
all sections and all the people. The North
and South no longer divide on the
old lines but upon principles and politics;
and in this fact surely every lover of the
country can find cause for true felicita-
ton. Let us rejoice in and cultivate this
spirit it is ennobling and viii be both q
gain and blessing to our beloved country.
It will be my constant aim to do nothing
and permit nothing to be done that will
arrest or disturb this growing sentiment
of unity and cooperation, this revival of
esteem and utilization which now ami
mates so many thousands in both the old
and the antagonistic sections, but l shall
cheerfully do everything possible to pro-
mote and increase it.
Let me again repeat the words of the
oath administered by the Chief Justice,
which, in their respective spheres, SO far
as applicable | would have all my coun-
trymen observe:

President of the United States, and will,
to the best of my ability, preserve, pro-
feet and defend the Constitution of the
United States"
This is the obligation / have reverently
taken before the Lord Most High. To
keen it will be my single purpose-my con-
stant.prayer-and I shall confidently rely
upon the forbearance and assistance of
ali the people in the discharge of my SOL

BRYAN is FOR GEORGE
So It Is Asserted at tho New York
Headquarters,
EXPECTED TO SPEAK OUT SOON.

A Reported Interview In which the
Late Presidential Candidate Ex-
pressed His Preference For the Sim
gle Tax Advocate.
New York, oct. 19.-The campaign
committee Of the Jefersonian Democ-
racy is out with "a statement that Will
lam Jennings Bryan is in favor Of
Henry George for the first mayor Of
greater New York. They base their
statement upon an interview which APP
peared in the Evansville Qnd.) Courier
on oct. g. and which was only dis
covered yesterday. On Oct. z Mr.
Bryan delivered an address in Evans
ville and afterwards he was interview
ed on the situation in New York city
According to the paper mentioned, this
Is one of the questions asked, and the
reply he made:
do you think Henry George win be
electtf mayor of greater New York;"
81 flink he has a splendid chance Of
bel 4 the next mayor of New York.
He rs well known to the people Of New
York city. The masses believe in him,
and win support him at the polls.
do not think national issues viii cut
much figure i'm the New York election.
The fight is on local issues. Personally
Mr.. George is a magnetic man, and
has fine executive ability. He will
make an excellent mayor, and win in
augurate many reforms in New York
city"
No letter or telegram has been sent by
Mr.. Bryan to any of the George man
ayers that would tend to corroborate
n nfo nd 70 a
known he has not been asked for his
opinion on the situation here In spite
Of that fact the greatest enthusiasm
was manifested around the headquar-
ters when the above interview was
typewriter and hung up on the bull
letn board 1t was the general belief
that Mr.. Bryan was for George, and
that he would be heard from in a day
or two.
Dozens Of meetings were held last
night in the boroughs making up the
city of New York. General Tracy, the
Republican candidate for mayor was
the principal speaker at the Ciermont
Avenue Rink Brooklyn He referred
to his personal friendship for Mr.. Low,
which he hoped would continue An
he charged him with was a mistake of
judgment and want of political wis
dom.
The concluding address was delivered
by Senator John NJ Thurston, of Ne
braska, who reiterated his statements
made at former meetings.
There was a large and very enthusi-
astic crowd at a Henry George meet
ing which was held at the Lexington
Avenue Opera House. Mr.. George made
a speech introducing ex-Postmaster
Dayton, who made a long address at
tacking Tammany Hall and Croker
ISM"
Mayor Strong spoke last night at a
Seth Low mass meeting in the Murray
Hill Lyceum Referring to Senator
Thurston he said: There has been
some little row kicked up over the eff
forts of the president of the borough
of Nebraska to tell us who we shall
elect as our first mayor. Now, Mr..
Thurston is a very nice man, but L
don't think that New Workers need his
assistance in telling them for whom
to vote"
