To the ConnMH of the ('tilted States:
.AHyouuHHoiiiblufor tho dUchurKu of the
dutlcH you havu atwuined an tliero ireoen
tativcH of tho frco und KcnuroUH jieoplo,
your muotlnii Is marked by un Itilon-Mi-Inj;
and luiprcxslvo liictdctil. With tliu
expiration of thi' pntHenl action of tho
conj?rcHn, thu llrnt century of our cotmtltu
tlotiiil cxlxtonco uh ii nation will I hi
comtilotod. Our ciirvivut for ono bundled
yotrn Is not Hiilllclont to iiaBiiru un that
wo nolonHor havo danger to fuur in tho
maintenance, with all Hh promised Wen
iii?H, of n uovcrninent foitnilod on tho
freedom of tlio H)oplo. Tho tinio rafln-r
admonisheH iw to Hoburly Inquire whether
in thu pant we have ulwayBcloHcly kept In
thceouw of Hafety, mid whether wo
liuvo bvforu uh u way plain and clear
which lends to happiness und perpetuity.
When tho exieriment of our govern
inent was uiulortnkcii, tho chart adopted
for our guidance wus the coiiHtltutloii.
Departure from thu lines there laid down
In tin admission of Its fallulo. It is only
by u strict uillierciico to thu directions
thev indicated, and by restraint within
the" limitations they fixed, that wo can
furnish proof to thu world of thu fitness of
tun American peopiu lor Bfiu.Koverninoni.
Tho eUid and exact justlie of which wo
boast as thu underlying principle of our
institutions should not lieconliucd to the
relations of our citizens to each other.
The government itself Is under IkjihI to
tho American eoplt' that in tho exercise
of Us functions und lowers it will ileal
with the body of our citizens in a manner
scrupulously honest and fair, and abso
lutely just. It'hus agreed that American
citizenship shall Is thu only credential
necessary to Justify the claim of equality
iM'foro tin law. and that no condition in
life sliull give rise to dlserlmlnatloii In tho
treatment of the eople by this tcuvcru
incut.
Thu eltleit of our Itcpublle, In Hh
early days, rigidly Insisted upon full
compliance with thu letter of thin bond,
mid saw stiotching out. bofoio tilt it a clear
Hold for individual endeavor. Ills trib
ute to tho support of Ids ijoveriiuieut was
measured by thu cost of Its eeonomleal
uialutumiuce, and li'i was Heeuro In thu
onjoynuint ot the romahiliit? leeomiicnsu
of Ills stu.uly und contuuted toll, In
thoso days tho frugality of thu
people was stauis-d iih)ii their
government, and was iclnforced by
tho free, thoughlfiil and Intel
llgUut HiiU'ragii of tho citl.ciiH. Ooinblmi
lions, moiiupolis und uggivgatlous of
capital weie then avoided, 01 sternly
regulated or lestialued. 'the pomp anil
glitter of government ottered ii'itcmtutton
mid invented no delusion to the plain
people, who side by sldo hi filendly com
IH'tltlou, fought tor I lie ennoblement and
dignity of thu country , for the solution of
thu problem of free government, mid for
the achievement of the grand destiny
awaiting the lam! which liod has given
them.

A cuntury has parsed. Our cities uro
the abiding place of wealth and luxury.
Out miiuufaetorles yield fortunes uuver
dreamed of by the fathers of thu republic.
Our business' men are uuully striving in
thu race for riches, and Immense uggru
gallons of capital outrun thu Imagina
tion in thu magnitude of their undertak
ings. We view with prldu and satisfac
tion this bright picture of our coun
try's growth and. prosK;rity. Whllo
only a closer scrutiny develops n sombur
shading, upon mure caieful Inspection wo
find the wealth und luxury of our citluu
mingled with poverty mid wretchedness
mid iiureuiuiierativi) toll. A crowded und
constantly Incieaslug urban population
HiiggestH thu linovcrisliiiienl of thu rural
scciious and discontent with agricultural
pursuits. Thu fanner's sou, not satislled
with his father's simple mid IiiIkhIouh
life, Joins tho eager cliuso for easily ac
quired wealth. We (Uncover that tho for
tunes realized by our luunufuuturorH arc
not measured solely by the leiwird of
sturdy Industry and enlightened torn
right, hut that Ihey result fiom the dU
crTinluutlni: favor of thu government, und
lire largely built unoa undue oxattious
from the masses of tliu pooiile. Thu gulfi
between thu employers and the employed !
Is constantly widening, and classes are
rupldly forming ono comprising tho very !
rich und (lowerful, while In another uro
found the tolling jioor. 1
As wo view thu achievement of aggro I
gated capital wo dUcover the existuneu of
trusts, combiiiutions and monopolies, 1
while the citUen Is stiugullug far In tliu 1
rear, or Is I nun plod to death beneath un
iron bed. The corporations, which
should Isj carefully restrained creatures
of thu law mid Iho srvants of tho pen-'
pie, uro fast becoming the people's mau
lers. ;
thu eiTUi:s' ni rv. ;
Still congratulating om-selves on the ,
wealth mid prosiieilty of our country, !
mid complacently coiitotiiplating every
incident of change inseparuplo from these ,
conditions, it Is our duty us patriotic, i
citizens tieuiuiui at thu present stage of '
our progress how the bond of the govern-1
inent made with tho jvoplo has been
kept and poiformed. Instead ot limiting ,
the tril ute drawn from our citUeus to
the neves.-llle.s of its economical admin-'
intuition, the government I'OibUta
in exacting from the suhstauco ;
of the iHHiple lullllons which,
unapplied and iikIim, lie dormant In Its
tixtoNUiy. I'liis llagimit inluMkv and
tliU brunch ot faith ami obligatimi add
iouxtoittoti (he danger attending diver
sion of the currency n( the country from
the letriitmate channels of huiiics. Un
der die Mime lausln which thece dangerd
ure produced, the government permits
fnauy nilllioim more to lie added to tho
cast of living t our people and to ho
taken from our consumers, which mi
reasonably swell the ptoiUsof u small,
but pawerlul iniiioritv.
Tliu people must Ih taxed for the aip
poit of die government under lho opera
tion of built laws, but to tho extent that
tho moss of our citizens should not be in
ordinately buidencd beyond any useful
nubile purposo and for tho benefit of a
favored few. ...
The government, under pretext of mi
oxcrcisu of Its taxing power, ontorH gratu
itously Into partnership with thooo favor
ites, to their advantage und to thu Injury
of a vuHtmuJorlty of our people. This is
not cquulitv befoio Iho law. Tho existing
situation Is Injurious to the health of our
entho bode politic. Itstllles In the fa
vored clasH all the patriotic glow of thu
country, and substitutes in its placo sel
fish greed and grasping uvarico. Dove
tlon to American citizenshii for
lis own sake, us n motive to
our nation's advancement and the
happiness of all our people, Is dis-tilni-i'il
be tbn iivHiuntitlrm lliat our nov-
ernnient, Instead ol lielng tho embodi
ment ot cuuallty, is mil an instrumental
ity through which especial and Individual
nuvunecH aro to bo gained. Tho urro-
gun ce of tho assumption is uncon
cealed. It upiKMitH in tne soniiu uisre
Kaid of all but torsonul Interest, hi
thu refusal to abute for thu benefit of
nthors ono Iota of selfish advantage, and
in combination to perpetuate such iidvaii
tagcH through fllorls to control legielation
and Impropeily control the sutl'ruge of the
people.
