Following are some OF the more i'm
portant passages Of Maj McKinley's
Inauguration speech:
OUR MONEY.
Our money is all good now, but it's
value must not further be threatened.
1t should all be put upon an endors-
Ing basis, not subject to easy attack,
nor its stability exposed to doubt or
dispute. Our currency should con-
tinue under the supervision OF the
Government.
THE TARIFF.
We should have more revenue
without delay, hindrance or post
ponement. The surplus in the treas
ury and credit by loans is not q per
menant or a safe reliance. 1t is set
tied policy Of the government pursu-
ed from the beginning and practiced
by all parties and administrations to
raise the bulk of our revenue from
taxes upon foreign production enter
Ing the United States, for sale and
consumption, and avoiding for the
most part every form of direct taxa
tion, except In time OF war. In the
revision Of the tariff especial atten-
tion should be given to reactment
OF the extension of the reciprocity
principle law Of 1890, under which so
great stimulus was given our for
eiQn trade in new and advantageous
markets for our surplus agricultural
and manufactured products.
INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM
The question of International
bimettallism should have early at
tention, and it shall be my constant
endeaver to secure it by cooperation
with other great commercial powers Of
the world. Declares the laws against
trusts shall be enforced. Favors arbi-
tration and a firm diguified foreign
policy, in resisting unlawful treat
ment of Americans everywhere.
He closed by calling an extra session
OF Congress for March 18th.
