TO some not accustomed to the sx-
elements and responsibilities OF
greater freedom our methods may in
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. 1t is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object is clear.
II our motive is above Just challenge
and only an occasional error of judg-
ment ia chargeable against US, We
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are. and not worked out
as If we were beginners. We are to
deal with. the facts OF our own day.
with the facts of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. 1t Is best. indeed 1t is neces-
sary. to begin with the tariff. I will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can OBJ
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time may take the
liberty Of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels Of the tariff changes. II not
accompany them. of which the chief
is the reform OF our banking and cur
rency laws; but Just now 1. refrain.
For the present. I put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros
perity to a great people whom we
would serve to the utmost and
