My Fellow CiHttnn In obedience to

complete devotion to the Interest and
weliare of those who have honored me.
1 deem It fitting on this occasion, while
indicating the opinion I hold concern
ing public question of present Import
ance, to alao briefly refer to the exit
ence of certain condition and tenden
cies among our people which teem to
menace the Integrity and use'ulnesa of
their government. While every Amer
ican citizen must contemplate with the
utmost pride and enthusiasm the growth
and expansion of onr country, the aufU
clency of our Institution to atand
agaimt the rudest shocks of violence,
the wonderful thrift end enterprise of
our people and the demonstrated nno
rlorlty of our free government, it be
hoove u constantly to watch for every
symptom of insidious Infirmity that
threatens our national vigor. Theitrong
man who In the confidence of stnrdy
health courts the sternest activities of
life and rejoices In the hardihood of con
tant labor may still have lurking near
hi vitals an nnbeeded disease that
dooms him to sudden collapse. It can
not be doubted that our stupendous
achievement as a people and our coun
try's robust strength have given rise to
heedlessness of those laws governing
our national health which we can no
more evade than hnman life can escape
tlie laws of Uod and nature.
Manifestly there Is nothing more vital
to our supremacy as a nation and to the
beneticleut purposes of our government
than a sound and stable currency. It
exposure to degradation should at once
arouse to activity the most enlightened
statesmanship; and the danger of de
preciation in the purchasing power of
the wages paid to toil sh m'.d furnish the
strongest incentive to prompt conserva
tive precaution in dealing with onr pres
ent embarrassing situation as related to
this subject. We will be wise if we
temper our confidence and faith tn our
national strengtlt and resources with
frank concessions. Even these will not
permit as to defy with impunity the in
exorable laws of finance and trade. At
the same time, in our efforts to adjust
the differences of opinion, we should be
free from intolerance or passion and onr
judgments should be unmoved by allur
ing praises and anvexed by selfish in
terests. I am confident such an ap
proach to the subject will recall in
prudent, effective and remedial legisla
tervene, none of the power with which
maintain our national credit or avert
financial dieaeter.

The people of the United States have
decreed that on this day the control of
their government in its legislative and
executive branches ehs.ll lie given to the
political party pledged in the most posi
tive terms to the accomplishment of
tariff reform. They have thus deter
mined in favor of a more just and equi
table system of federal taxation. The
agents they have chosen to carry cut
their pnrpo.-es are bound by their prom
lees, not less than by the command of
their masters, to devote themselves nn
remitting'y to this service. While there
should be no surrender of principle, our
tatk must be undertaken wisely and
without vindictivenes. Our mission is
not the punishment, but the rectifica
tion of wrongs. If in lifting burdens
from the daily life of our peiple we re
duce the inordinate, unequal advantages
long enjoyed, this is but a necessary in
cident ot our return to right and justice.
If we exact from unwillini minds an ac
quiescence in this the ry of honest d s ri-
b ut ion in m ine nana 01 tne over owiini
beneficence treasured np for all, wa nut
Insist noon the principle which under
lies onr free institutions. When we tear
aside the delusion and misconceptions
which have blinded our countrymen to
their condition under vicious tariff laws,
we but show tbem bow far tney nave
been led away from the path of con
tentment and prosperity. When we
proclaim that the necessity fora revenne
to sunDort the government furnishes the
only justification for taxing the people,
we announce a train so piaio mat itaue
nial would seem to indicate the ex ent
to which the indgmeot may be iofli-
enced by a familiarity with the perver
sions of the taxing power, and when we
seek to reinstate the self-confident busi
ness enterprise of onr citixens by dis
crediting abject dependence upon gov
ernmental lavor, we strive to uumiair
those elements of American character
which support the hope of American
achievement.
Anxiety for a redemption of the
pledges which my party has made, and
solicitude for a complete jnatiflition of
the trust the people have reposed in us,
oonstrain me to remind those with
whom I co-operate that we can succeed
in doing the work which has been es
pecially set before us only by the most
sincere, harmonious and disinterested
ffjrt. Even if insuperable obstacles
and opposition prevent the consumma
tion of onr task, we shall hardly be ex
cused; and if the failure can be traced
to onr fault or neglect, we may be sure
the people will bold as to a swift and
and exacting accountability.
The oath I now take to preserve, pro
tect and defend the constitution of the
United States not only impressively de
fines the great responsibility 1 assume,
bat enraests obedience to the constitu
tional commands as the rule by which
my official conduct must be guided. I
hall, to the best of my ability and
within my sphere of duty, preserve the
constitution by loyally protecting every
grant of federal power it contains, by
defending all it restraint when at
tacked by impatience and restlessness,
and by enforoing its limitations and
reservations in favor of the State and
people. Fully impressed with the grav
ity of the duties that confront me, and
mindful of my weakness, I should be
appalled if it were my lot to bear un
aided the responsibilities which await
me. I am. however, saved from dis
couragement when I remember I shall
nave tne support, counsel ana co-operation
of wise, patrlotio men, who will
stand at my aide in cabine places, or
represent the people in their legislative
halls. I find also much comfort in re
membering that my countrymen are
just and generous, and in the assurance
that they will not condemn those who,
by sincere devotion to their service, de
serve their forbearance and approval.
Above all, I know there is a Supreme
Being who rules the affairs of men,
whose goodness and mercy have always
followed the American people; and I
know He will not tarn from us now if we
humbly and reverently seek His power

AGRICULTURAL.
The Advantages of Tile Drain-
ing Are Many.
FIRST THING IN DRAINAGE.
Plowing May be Done From a Week
to Ten Days Earlier in
the Spring.
' O. L. Melnier in Farm, Field and Flreside-I
All land that has no sand or gravel
subsoil should be underdrained.
The first thing in drainage is a good
outlet, whether open ditch or tile, large
enough to carry the water from the
smaller drains.
If the ground is rather flat with little
fall, cut the ditches from fifty to seventy
five feet apart, with not less than one
inch of fall to 100 feet of length, not less
twenty inches deep in the most shallow -place
nor more more than three feet
deep, nnlesa to get the grade or level.
Cut ditch in bottom perfectly level, so
there will be no ripples in It; lay tbe
tile close against each other, nt the
joints well together, put fine earth
around tile about six inches dep, then
fill the remainder in with the plow or
shovel, but do pot allow horses or cattle
to tramp tn it wnen iresniy nuea in or
ground is wet.
On rolling land tile drains need not be
so close together, but it is necessary to
Dut them where the sarlace water most
ly stands, bat do not pat them more
than three feet under ground for quick
service, unless in places through high
ground where it is unavoidable.
The size of tile should vary with the
amount of water and the distance of
drains apart. For fiat ground, fifty feet
apart and forty rods long, with one inch
fall to 100 feet tengtn ; tne outlet snouia
have three and half or (oar-inch tile for
thirty or thirty-five rods, and the re
mainder with three or tnree ana a nan-
inch. In ditches of shorter distance
three or three and a half-inch is large
enouzh, according to the water they have
to carry: for branches from ten to
twenty rods a three-inch tde makes a
good ditch with the above taiu
Tile does irood service where the drains
are 100 feet apart if put in lowest places.
Drains from sixty to eighty rods long
should have five or six-inch tile for an
outlet. A six-inch tile will carry all
water on flat land from forty acres with
out injury to crops from wet weather.
The advantages 01 me Draining arv
many, flowing may do a one irom a
week to ten days earlier in the spring ;
tile-drained land is half-manured. Al
though open ditches dp good service
where tile ditches cannot be made, their
disadvantages are great; with tuedrains
the water will soon disappear tr m toe
surface after a rain, while with an open
ditch it will rta d outside of bank for
several days ; you can farm and rai e the
best crops over tile drains, while an
open ditch is waste land for weeds to
grow on; you nver need to clem a tile
drain, if properly pit in; yoa must clean
oat an open ditch every two or three
years; your open ditches harbor vermin,
such aa muskrats and the mink, who
dig holes along the bank for horses and
cattle to step in and break tbeir legs ;
voar tile ditch will not harbor any thing.

Weigh voar stock periodically, and
weigh also the food consumed in each
period. Then you may know if yoa are

Wet-kheet Pack for Baa Sting-..
Orange Judd Farmer. ,
A young mau in the neighborhood of
Peoria, 111., waa stung by a bee. It made

Such results from a bee sting are rare,
vet they do somet mes happen, and per
sons affected in this pay should be kept
away from bees.
When a person trial nas been stung is
very sick because of it and breaks out

Spread two comfortablesnponalonnge,
