PLENARY INDULGENCE ON
ALL SOULS DAY
The month of November has been
set aside for special prayers for
the faithful departed from time i'm
memorial in the Church. Her So
icitude for the devotion of her
members to the final resting places
of the departed, and her desire to
encourage the visiting of Catholic
churches and cemeteries are evil
dent from the DEGREES granting in
dulgences for such visits.
For each visit to a church or pub
lie chapel between the noon of All
Saints friday and midnight of
All Souls day Saturday, a plen-
airy indulgence may be gained, pro-
vided the person making the visit
prescribed has been to Confession
and Communion and says the Our
Father, Hail Mary, and the Glory
Be to the Father six times for the
intention of the Holy Father.
Each Mass offered on All Souls
day by any priest gains a plenary
indulgence for the soul for whom
it is said.
"The faithful who, any day of
the year, devoutly visit a cemetery
and pray for the faithful departed,
may gain a partial indulgence of
seven years; the indulgence is ap-
picable to the faithful departed
only"
"All the faithful who, on AL
Souls day or during the octave de-
voutly visit a cemetery and pray,
even mentally only, for the faithful
departed, may gain a plenary in
diligence each day under the usual
conditions of confession, Holy Com
munion and prayer for the inten-
ton of the Holy Father. The indul-
gence is applicable to the departed
only"

make more difficult the return oi

sound fiscal policy which will result
In balanced budget without oppres-
sive taxation.
Attacks Menace Business.
The covert attacks upon the Con.
stitution, which will be made upon the
plea that the Federal Government
must be made stronger and States
weakened and the rights of individ-
uals impaired, are a menace to hon.
est and legitimate business, disturb.
ing to patriotic citizens and constitute
impediments to economic and indus
trial development, some of the re.
wards Of which will be increased
financial improvement and greater
resources for the Federal Govern.
ment as well as for individuals anc
communities.
The present Chief Justice of the Su.
preme Court in a recent decision
reproduces some of the views of Wash.
ington when he says:
1.-The Constitution established a Ma.
tional Government with powers deemed
to be adequate. as they have proved
to be In war and peace. but these
powers of the National Government
are limited by the constitutional
grants. Those who act under these
grants are not at liberty to transcend
the imposed limits because they be-
lieve that more or different power
Is necessary. Such assertions oi

extra-constitutional authority were
anticipated and precluded by the ex-
plicit terms Of the tenth amendment
The powers not delegated TO the
United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by II to the States. are
reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people,"
The forces to which have adj
verted undoubtedly seek the estab-
lishment Of powerful government
which may control the lives and views
and conduct Of individuals, and which
will have authority through taxation
and otherwise to control industry and
the economic and industrial life Of the
people. The balancing Of the budget
is important, but it is more tmpor-
tant to preserve the Republic against
assaults from within and against the
subtle and sinister forces which seek
to change the Government which our
fathers gave us to one which WASH
ington characterized as despotic.

will grow and it will be regarded in
all the world as the standard bearer
Of liberty and justice and democratic
principles. Jefferson's statement was:
"a" " The support Of the State gov
ernments in all their rights as the
most competent administrations for
our domestic concerns and the surest
bulwarks against anti-republican ten
denotes. ."
He wrote that: "' Not by the
consolidation or concentration of pow
ers but by their distribution, that
good government js effected. ."
And he added: Were we directed
from Washington when to SOW, and
when to reap. We should soon want
bread. ."
We will balance our budget and
maintain the credit Of the country
If these precepts are carried out.
I can not refrain from quoting JET
ferson: "* Every government de-
generates when trusted to the rulers
of the people alone. The people
themselves, therefore. are its only
safe repositories. Agriculture,
manufactures, commerce and naviga-
ton, the four pillars of our prosperity,
are the most thriving when left free
to individual enterprise. ."
And, he advocated: "' Economy
in public expense that labor may be
lightly burdened. ="
There are forces furtively II not
openly working to convert this Re-
public into a socialistic or powerful
centralized regime.
These elements are disturbing to
business and to all patriotic citizens.

ment retrenches, eliminates waste, du-
plication Of activities and unnecessary
bureaus, and brings about q reduction
Of the staggering cost Of government.
We should not forget the words Of
Washington when he declared:
/" Toward the preservation OF
your Government, and the permanency
Of your present happy state. it is
requisite that you resist with care
the spirit Of innovation upon its prin-
ciples. however specious the pretexts.
One method Of assault may be to ef-
feet In the forms of the Constitution
alterations which will impair the
energy of the system, and thus to un-
dermine what can not be directly over
thrown. ."
Some Harbor Distrust.
Undoubtedly there are in public
positions and in some of our colleges
individuals who are dissatisfied with
our form of government and who by
usurpation If they could and If not by
change in the Constitution would en-
bark this Republic upon the sea Of
socialism or upon road that leads to
a totalitarian state. They are enam-
CURED of the spirit of regimentation and
discipline that will only end by de-
stroying the sovereignty of the States
and bringing all the people within the
control of Federal bureaus and agen-
cies. They distrust the people and
their competency to govern them
selves. They are unwilling that in
dividuals shall order and determine
their lives and that local self-govern-
ment shall function and bring to
fruition those ideals of liberty and
justice which are the products Of
genuine democratic institutions.
George Washington foresaw that
there would be elements within the
Republic that would develop spirit
of encroachment tending to con-
solidate the powers in all the depart
ments in one, and thus to create, what
ever be the form of government, a
real despotism - just estimate OF
that love Of power and proneness to
abuse 1t which predofninates in the
human heart, is sufficient to satisfy
us Of the truth Of this position. -
I repeat, there are forces among
us that would consolidate all govern
mental authority and power in the
Federal Government and create real
despotism.
The future Of this Republic is as
sured II the liberty of individuals, the
right Of local self-governmenU, the in
tegrity and sovereignty Of the States
are not interfered with and If the
Federal Government confines its au-
thority to that field prescribed by the
Constitution of the United States. Our
country is too large to have all OF its
affairs directed by a single govern
ment.

Constitution they would disregard. It
Is not uncommon to hear from persons
with bureaucratic authority, and
charged with duties to execute the
laws, a demand that the law shall be
ignored or that our form Of govern
ment shall be changed in order to
meet their socialistic or Nal views.
There are too many persons In public
life who are unfavorable to demo-
cratic institutions and to the precepts
handed down to us by Jefferson and
the fathers Of this Republic. They
would aggrandize the Federal Gov
ernment, increase bureaucratic au-
thority, make Congress subservient to
the whims and caprices Of executive
agencies, and individuals holding q
little brief authority, who are indiffer-
ent to their oaths and have no re-
gard for the spirit of this Republic.
There are teachers, we are told, who
hesitate to take an oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the United
States. Are there persons in official
positions who have mental reserva-
tions when they accept executive po-
sitions and I'LL some niche in q bureau-
cratic organization? It is worthy of
note that some who are most critical
Of the judicial branch Of the Govern
ment are those who are most insistent
upon finding precedents in autocratic
and socialistic governments as guides
for their official conduct.
II the Federal Government and its
agencies confine their activities within
limits prescribed by the Constitution
Of the United States. there will be an
immediate revival in business, i'm
proved conditions in our industrial
and economic life, a renaissance in
local self-government and revitali-
zation Of the States. The expenses
Of the Federal Government will be
reduced when it confines its opera
tion and authority within the sphere
for which it was created.
1882 Speech Recalled.
A message of the President that won
for him almost universal approval. was
known as the economy message" It
called for reduction of several hun
dred millions of dollars in Government
expenditures and for consolidation OF
Federal agencies. If the speech of the
President delivered at Sioux City,
Iowa, September 20. 1882. were fol-
lowed, important and beneficial results
would flow to the country. He stated
that he would use his position "to dis
cuss up and down the country in all
seasons, and at all times, the duty OF
reducing taxes, Of increasing the ef-
ficiency Of the Government, of cutting
out the underbrush around our gov
ernmental structure, of getting the
most public service for every dollar
paid by taxation"
If we are to balance the budget and
relieve the people of the burden Of tax
alton, I repeat. the Government must
retrench and not attempt too many
functions, particularly functions which
belong to the States and to local COM
mupities and to individuals There

possible to foretell when we will have
q balanced budget or what additional
taxes will be laid upon the people at
the next session of Congress. Unfor-
tunately, these uncertainties will have
repercussions in business and indus
trial fields. They will retard recovery
and thus reduce Federal revenues. If
additional taxes are to be imposed
there are few sources from which they
can be obtained. Some will insist upon
a Federal sales tag. ] have opposed
the Federal Government collecting
revenue from q sales tax. Obviously.
individual and corporate incomes will
be the principal fountains from which
additional revenue can or will be OBJ
tanned.
Balanced Budget II.
If the pledges Of the Democratic
party are fulfilled. and the expenses of
Government drastically reduced; If
the plans and schemes for the social
ization of industry and the projection
of the Federal Government into the
fields of legitimate and private en-
deavor, are abandoned; If the country
has not only breathing spell but full
and complete opportunity for growth
and development and progress and for
the exercise of the initiative, genius
and courage of the American people,
then there will be no demand for in
creased taxes, and the Federal budget
will be balanced and the obligations of
the Government met.
The safety Of this republic depends
upon adherence to the Constitution
and to the ideals of democracy.
Unfortunately there are evidences
Of q growing dependence of many
Americans upon the Federal Govern
ment and Of their willingness to weak
en-, If not destroy, the States and lose
themselves individually in the swirl
ing waters of powerful socialistic or
nationalistic government. 1t Is only
necessary to refer to the appeals which
are made by individuals, local COM
munities and even States for the Fed
eral Government to intervene in their
individual or local affairs and take
over the responsibilities which belong
to them and to their State govern
ments. The issue in the days of Lin
coin was the preservation of the Fed
eral Government. The important is
sue now is the preservation of indi-
vidual liberty and the rights Of SOW
ereign States.
It has been said by great historian
that the most fragile of all forms Of
government is that of democracy,
and fears have been entertained by
great Americans as well as by states
men in other lands that this republic
would be unable to meet the storm
and stress to which it would be sub
| jected. Some Americans, forgetting
what democracy is and the limita-
tions upon the authority of the Fed
eral Government, point to autocratic
and strongly centralized governments
across the seas as examples which, in
some respects, we should follow.

II Is true that in the Presidents
budget statement issued today 1t Is
estimated that revenues will be about
one-half billion dollars more than
originally estimated, and that the
amounts actually expended may not
exceed tx billion dollars. earnestly
hope that this result will come about,
but, even If it does, we will still have
o deficit of 81 billion dollars for 1895.
There Is little we can do about
that deficit now, except to hope that
the expenditures will be kept to the
lowest possible amount. But we must
plan ahead for 1897. For that fiscal
year I believe it Is possible to reduce
the total Of general and emergency
expenditures to 6 billion dollars. I
also believe 1t will be possible, II we
have moderately improved business
conditions, to bring our revenues up to
billion. Thsi will leave only a
1-billion- dollar deficit for 1887. For
1898 believe we can have balanced
budget by maintaining the billion
dollars of revenue and cutting our
expenditures from billion to billion.
It would be very desirable If for 1899
and several subsequent years we could
have Treasury surplus to apply to
the retirement Of the public debt.
I point out that for 1885 interest on
the public debt and sinking fund pay
ments accounted for nearly billion
400 million dollars of our expendi-
lures. II we can reduce this debt our
annual expenditures can be corre-
spondingly reduced.
Revene Remains Problem.
There remains to consider only how
we can increase our revenue from
4 billion dollars to 5 billion in 1887
In the first place, the revenue bill
Of 1885 will begin to come into op-
Grafton in that year and should in
crease our revenue by about 200 mil
lion. In the second place, believe
we should have an increase in the
revenue Of about 800 million dollars
under our present tax system due to
improved business in 1887. This

for new or added taxes in order to
reach our goal of billion.
There are, however, many other un-
certain and contingent factors that
make it impossible to determine when
the budget will be balanced, or just
what additional taxes will be required
to accomplish that result, and also tt

The bonus question is still an issue
and it is believed by many that 6

will require at least one, and perhap!
two, billion dollars.

r. v. A. Bonds Guaranteed.
Finally, the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority has been given the power to
issue bonds not to exceed in the aggre-
gate so million dollars outstanding at
any one time. These bonds also are
guaranteed by the Federal Government
both as to principal and interest.
While no bonds have as yet been
issued by this authority, there is a
possibility, of course, after such bonds
are issued that the corporation might
not be able to meet its obligations and
that the Federal Government would,
therefore. have to pay these obliga-
tions or the interest thereon out Of the
Federal Treasury.
Now, let us return and face the
budget problem frankly. We know
that for the fiscal year 1886 revenues
were originally estimated at billion
dollars and expenditures at 81a bill
lion. We know that Congress appro-
priated 10 billion dollars for 1886.
