My Fellow Citizens: When we assem-
bled here on the 18th OF March, 1891. there
was great anxiety with regard to our

for all public needs and we have q sur-
plus instead of Il deficit. Then l felt cons

ordinary expenses of the government.

The national verdict of 1896 has for the
most part been executed. Whatever re-
mains unfulflled is a continuing obliga-
ton resting with undiminished force upon
the executive and the congress. But for
tunate as our condition is, Its permanence
can only be assured by sound business
methods IL strict economy in national
administration and legislation, We should
not permit our great prosperity to lead
us to reckless ventures In business or
pronigacy in our expenditures. While the
congress determines the objects and the
sum of appropriations, the officials Of
the executive departments are RESPONSE

but without avail. 1t became inevitable,
and the congress-, at its first regular ses-
sion, without party division, provided
money In anticipation of the crisis and In
preparation to meet 1t. 1t came. The re-
suit was ]slsnally favorable to American
