Comments of New York aud Chit
cago Papers on the Inaugural.
New York, March 5.-The Press Ire
publicanl, commenting editorally upon
Presi dent McKlnley's Inauguration adj
dress, says: President Nick inley has spoken
as those expected who mad the highest
conception of his character. Before all
things he places revenUe-tariff revenue,
not internal revenue, and revenue to be
had from protective tariff. This is the
broad base of the pyramid of policy.
The Advertiser, Republican, says: "Presi-
dent Mckinley gives every guarantee of q
business administration that an inaugural
message can express"
The World, Democrat, says: President
McKinley's inaugural address touches with
candor and courage upon nearly every ques-
ton OF Importance now before the country.
We must all hope for the best and wish Mr..
Mckinley every success"
The Herald Independent Democratic)
says: I'm his first message as Preident
tothe eAmericanpeople, Mr. McKinleymakes
an expected plea for protection, and an
nounces that he will summon Congress to
meet n special session on March 3 TO inI-
pose higher tariff duties. The reason or
excuse he gives for this extraordinary
step is the condition of the Treasury; but
he frankly vows that the purpose is pro-
lection as well as revenue"
The Sun (Democra) says: There is the
frame work of an administration which
can satisfy the country and restore pros
perity to its citizens. There are some inI-
portant omissions; some points of vague
ness, and some signs of what we believe
to be mistaken judgment i n the President
preliminary announcement; but the impress
sion created by the document, we are sure,
will be mainly favorable
The journal (Silver Democratl says that
he has announced his purpose of calling
an immediate extra session of Congress
for the purpose of passing a new tariff
bill, and thereby remedying the deficiency
OF revenue which, it is alleged. is con-
tinually plunging us into deeper debt.
This, it lis assumed, win also lanch the
nation on a fresh course of prosperity.
Far better would be the consideration
of this extra session to radical discussion
and application OF remedy TO the evils of
our whole currency system. Here is the
dry rot, which has paralyzed the business
affairs of the country from center to cir
cumference.
Chicago, March 5.-Local papers COM
ment on President McKinley's inaugural
address as follows
Chronicle (Gold Democrat): 1.-The general
construction OF President McKinley's mes
sage is to be commended. 1t has no start
ling points
Tribune( Republican,: lisa comparatively
short, but earnest and dignified. as well
as business-like, document"
Times Herald independent Republican,:
mo part OF Mr.. McKinley's inaugural
will be more acceptable to the conserva-
tive men OF this country than the brief
but comprehensive reference to our for
eign policy. We do not know how the
Presidents words will be construed by the
brands in Congress, but they should
reflect that Mr.. Mckinley comes direct
from the people, and that his lofty adj
vocacy of peace is in a sense the expression
OF the willof vast majority of his fellow
citizens"
Record, Independent: 'sIn the main it
may he said that the address inspires
confidence in the probable success of the
new administration.
