The full Text of His Inaugural.
A Comprehensive Address on Tlic Affairs
of The Nation.
Washington, March 4. Following
is the inausural address delivered by
President Harrison after taking the
oath of office to-day:
There is no constitution or lesal re
quirement that the president shall take
the oath of office in the presence of the
people. But there is so manifest an ap
propriateness in the public induction
into office of the chief executive officer
of the nation, that from the beginning
of the povernment the people to whose
service the official oath consecrates the
officer, have been called to witness the
solemn ceremonial. The oath taken in
the presence of the people becomes a mu
tual covenant. The officer covenants to
servo the whole body of the people by the
faithful execution of the laws so that
they may be the unfailing defense and
security of those who respect and observe
them, ana tnat neitner weaun, iauon or
power of combinations shall be able to
evade their just penalties or wrest them
from a benelicent public purpose to serve
the ends 'tf cruelty or eelnshness. My
promise is spoken; yours is unspoken but
not the less real and solemn. The people
of everv state have their representatives.
Surely I do not misinterpret the spirit of
the occasion when I assume that the
whole bodv of the people covenant with
me and with each other to-day to sup
port and defend the constitution and the
union of states, to yield willing obedience
to all laws ana cacn to every uiuer bu
zen his eaual civil and political rights.
Entering thus solemnly into a cove
nant with each othor, we may reverently
invoko the aid and confidently expect
the help of Almighty God, that he will
give to me wisdom, strength and fidelity,
ana to our people mo spini 01 inueruu,
righteousness and peace.
TOE FinST ISAUGUB1TIOX.
This occasion derives peculiar interest
from the fact that the presiaeniiai term
which begins this day is the twenty-sixth
under our constitution. The first inau
guration of President Washington took
place in New York, where congress was
then sitting, on the 30th day of April,
1789, having been deferred by reason of
delays attending the organization of con
gress and the canvass of the electoral
vote. Oar neonle have already worthily
observed tho centennials of the Declara
tion of Independence, of the battle of
Yorktown, and of tho adoption of the
constitution, and will shortly celebrate
in N6W York the institution of tho second
great department of our constitutional
scheme of government. When the cen
tennial of tho constitution of the judicial
department and of tho organization of
too supremo court snail nave ueen suita
bly observed, as I trust it will bo, our na
tion will have fully entered upon its seo
ond century.
COSTBAST OF ONE IIOKDBED TII1BS.
I will not attempt to note the marvel
ous and in a great part tho happy con
trasts between onr country, as it steps
over the threshold into its second centu
ry of organized existence under the con
stitution, and that weak, but wisely or
dered young nation that looked undaunt
edly down upon tho first century when
all its years stretched out before it. Our
people will not fail at this time to recall
the incidents which accompanied the in
stitution of the government under tho
constitution, or to find inspiration and
guidance in the teachings and example of
Washington and his great associates,
and hope and courage in the contrast
which thirty-eight populous and prosper
ous states offer to the thirteen states,
weak in everything except courage and
the lovo of liberty, that then fringed out
npon the Atlantis seaboard. The terri
tory of Dakota has a population greater
than any of tho original states except
Virginia, and greater than the aggregate
of fivo of tho smaller states in 179J. The
center of population when our national
capital was located was east of Baltimore
and it was argued by many well informed
persons in the world that it would move
eastward rather;than westward. Yet in
1880 it was found to ho near Cinnoinati,
and the new census about to be taken
will show another stride to the westward.
That which was a body has come to be
only a rich fringe of the nation's robe.
P2E3ENT CONDITIO!. OF THE NATION.
But our growth has not been limited to
territory, population nnd nggregate
wealth, marvelous as it has been in each
of these directions. The masses of our
people are better fed, clothed and housed
than their fathers were. The facilities
for popular education have been vastly
enlarged and more generally diffused.
Tho virtues of courage and patriotism
havo given recent proof of their contin
ued presence and increasing p iwr in
their heart3 and over the livesJDf onr.peo
ple. The influences of rJigiou ti-ivo
been multiplied nnd strengthened. Too
sweet offices of charity have greatly in
creased, and tho virtue of temperance is
held in higher estimation. Wo have not
attained an ideal condition; not all of
our people are happy and prosperous, not
all of them virtuous and law abiding;
but, on the whole, tho opportunities of
fered to the industrious to secure the
comfort? of life are better than else
where and largely better than they were
100 years ago. The surrender of a largo
measure of the sovereignty to the general
government effected by the adoption of
the constitution was not accomplished
until the suggestions of reason were
strongly reinforced by tno more impera
tive voice of experience.
bxbth op toe rEOTEcrrrvE ststem.
The divergent interests of peace speed
ily demanded "more perfect union."
Merchants, shipmasters and manufac
turers discovered and disclosed to our
statesmen and to the people that com
mercial emancipation must be added to
loo political ireeaum wmcu uuu uecu ixj
bravely won. The commercial policy of
the mother country had not relaxed any
of it3 hard and oppressive features. To
bold in check the development of our
commercial marine, to prevent or retard
tho establishment and growth of manu
factures in the states, nnd so to secure
an American market for their products
and a carrying trade for their ships, was
tho policy of the European statesmen;
and it was pursued with a most selfish
vigor. Petitions poured in npon con
gress urging the imposition of discrim
inating duties that should encourage tho
production of needed things at home.
Tho patriotism of tho people, which no
longer found a field of exercise in war,
was energetically directed to the duty of
equipping the young republio for the de
fense of its independence by making its
people self-dependent. Societies for the
promotion of home manufactures and for
encouraging the use of domestics in the
dress of the people were organized in
many states.
The revival at the end of a century of
the same patriotic interest in the preser
vation and development of domestic in
dustries and in defense of our working
people against injurious foreign compe
tition is an inoident worthy of attention.
It is not a departure but a return we
havo witnessed. The protective policy
had then its opponents. The argument
was made, as now, that its benefits in
ured to particular classes or sections.
THE EETAEDIXd INFLUENCE OF BLAVEEY.
If the question became in any cense or
at any time sectional it was only because
slavery existed in some of tho states. But
for this, there was no reason why tho
cotton producing states should not have
led or walked abreast with the New En
gland states in the production of cotton
fabrics. There was this reason only why
the states that divide with Pennsylvania
the mineral treasures of the great south
eastern and central mountain ranges
should have been so tardy in bringing to
the smelting furnace and to the mill tho
coal and iron from their near opposing
hillsides. The mill fires were lighted at
the funeral pile of slavery. The emanci
pation proclamation was heard in the
depths of the earth as well as in the sky.
Men were made free, and material things
became our better servants.
The sectional element has happily been
eliminated from tariff discussions. We
have no longer states, that are necessari
ly only planting states, none are ex
cluded from achieving that diversifica
tion of pursuit among people which
brings wealth and contentment. A cot
ton plantation will be no les3 valuable
when the produot is spun in the country
town by operatives whose necessaries
call for diversified crops and create a
home demand for garden and agricult
ural products. Every new mine, furnace
and factory is an extension of tho pro
ductive capacity of the state, more real
and valuable than added territory.
Shall the prejudices and paralysis of
slavery continue to hang upon the skirts
of progress? How long will those who
rejoice that slavery no longer exists
cherish and tolerate the incapacities it
put upon their communities? I look
nopefully to a continuance of onr pro
tective system, and to the consequent
development of our manufacturing and
mining enterprises in states hitherto
wholly riven to agriculture, as potent
influences in the perfect unification of
our people. Men who havo invested
their capital in these enterprises, farm
ers who have felt tho benefit of their
neighborhood, and men who work in
shop or field will not fail to find and de-
rend a community oi interests.
Is it not aulte possible the farmers and
promoters of the great mining and man
ufacturing enterprises wmen recently
have been established in the south may
yet find that a free ballot of the work-
mernan. without distinction ot race, is
needed for their defense as well as for
his own? I do not doubt if those men in
the south who now accept the tariff view3
of Ulav ana the constitutional exposi
tions of Webster, would courageously
avow and defend their real convictions,
they would not find it difficult by friendly
instruction and co-operation, to make
the black man their efficient and safe et-
tornev, not only in establishing correct
principles in our national administra
tion, but in preserving tor tueir local
communities the benefits of social order
and economical and honest government.
At least until the good offices of kind
ness and education havo been fairly
tried, n contrary conclusion cannot bo
plausibly urged.
I have altogether regretted the sug
gestion of a special executive poln-y for
any section of our country. It H tho
duty of tho executive to administer and
enforce in the methods and by the in
strumentalities pointed out and prn-
viueu uy tue consiun.ion, an laws en
acted bv congress. These laws are gen
eral and their administialion should hi
uniform and equal. As a citizen may
not elect what laws he may obev,
neither may the executive elect which
li3 may enforce. The duty to obey and
to execute embraces the constitution in
its entirely and the whole code of laws
enacted under it.
The evil example of permitting in
dividuals, corporations or communities
to nullify laws because they cross some
selfu-h or local interests or prejudices
is full of danger, not only to the nation
at large, but much more to those who
use this pernicious expedient to escape
their inst obligations, or to obtain un
just advantage over others. They will
presently memseives ue compenea to
appeal to the law for protection, and
those who would use the law as de
fense must not deny that use of it to
others.
CORPOEATIOXS CAUSE MOB VIOLENCE
If our sreat corporations would more
scrupulously observe their legal lfutilc
tions and duties thev would have less
cause to complain of unlawful limita
tions of their lights or violent interfer
ence with their operations. A com
munity that by concert, open or secret,
among its citizens, denies to a portion
of its members theii rights under the
law has severed the onlvafu houdof
social order and prosperity.
Jivii wotks irom a baa center uoin
ways, it demoralizes those who prac
tico it, and destroys the faith of those
who suffer by it in the efficiency of the
law as a safe projector. The man in
whose breast that faith has been dark
ened is naturally a subject of danger
ous and uncanny suggestions. Those
who use unlawful methods unmoved by
no higher motive than the selfishness
tnat prompted them, may well stop and
inquire what is to be the end of this un
lawful expedient. It cannot become a
pernanent condition ot government.
ii me educated ana lnuuentiai classes
in a community either practice or con
nive at a systematic violation of laws
that seem to them to cross their con
venience what can they except
when the lesson that convenience
or supposed class interest is a
sufficient cause for lawlessness has
been well learned by the ignorant
classes ?
A community where law is the rule
of conduct, and where courts, not mobs,
execute its penalties, is the only attrac
tive field for business investments and
honest labor.
NATURALIZATION LAWS.
Our naturalization laws should be so
amended as to make the inauirv into
the character and good disposition of
persons applying lor citizenship more
careful and searching. Our existing
laws have been in their administration
unimpressive and often unintelligible
inform. We accept a man as a citizen
and without any knowledge of his fitness
he. assumes the duties of a citizen with
out any knowledge as to what they are.
The privileges of American citizenship
arc so great, and its duties so grave,
that we may well insist upon a good
knowledge of every person applying
for citizenship, and a good knowledge
by him of our institutions. We should
not cease to be hospitable to immigra
tion, but we should cease to be careless
as to the character of it. There are
men of all races, even the best, whose
coming is necessarily a burden upon
our public revenues or a threat to social
order. These should be identified and
excluded.
OUIt FOUEIQX rOLICT.
We have happily maintained the pol
icy of avoiding all interference with
European affairs, and we. will only be
interested spectators of their conten
tion In diplomacy and in war, and ready
h) use our inenaty omces to promoie
peace, but never obtruding our advice
and never attempting unfairly to coin
the distresses of other powers into com
mercial advantage to ourselves. We
have a just right to expect that our Eu
ropean policy will be the-American pol
icy of the European courts.
Tnc TANAJIA CANAL.
It is so manifestly incompatible with
those precautions for oar peace and
safety which all gieat powers habitu
ally observe in matters affecting them,
that a shorter water way between our
eastern and western seaboards should
be dominated by any European govern
ment, that we may confident'y expect
that such purpose will not be enter
tained by any friendly power. We
shall in the future as in the past, use
overy endeavor to maintain and extend
our friendly relations with all great
powers. but they will not expect us to
ook kindly upon any project that would
leave us subject to the dangers of hos
tile environment. We have not nought
to dominate or absorb any cf our weak
er neighbors, hut rather to aid and en
courage them to establish a free and
stable government resting upon the
consent of the people. We have a clear
right to expect, therefore, that no Euio
pean government will seek to establish
a colonial dependency upon the terri
torr of these independent American
states. That which a sense of justice
restrains us from seekin?, they nny be
reasonably expected willingly lo forego
AFFAIRS IN SAMOA.
It must not he assumed, however,
that our interests are so exclusively
American that our entire inattention to
any events that may transpire else
where may be taken for granted. Our
citizens, domiciled for the purpos- s of
trade in all countiies and in manv isl
ands of the sea demand and will have
our adequate care in their Dersonal and
commercial rights. The necessities of
our navy require convenient coaling
stations and harbor privileges. Thc-
and other trading pursuits we will feel
free to obtain only by means th .t do
not in auy degree partake of coercion,
however feeble the government fiom
which we ask such conepssinns. lu't
having fairly obtained them by meth
ods and for purpo-ea entirely consistent
with the most friendly dl.-position to
ward all other powers, our consent will
be necessary to any modification or im
pairment oi sucu concessions, we snail
neilhi-rfail to respect the flag ot any
friendly nation or the just lights of it
citizens, nor to ex?ct such treatment for
our own citizens.
Justice and consideration should elnr-
actenze our diplomacy. The office
of in'eligeut diplomacy or fri-ndly ar
bitration, in proper cases, should be ad
equate to a peaceful adjustment of all
international difficulties. By surh
methods we will make our con'ribuliou
to the world's ueace. which no nation
values more highly, an-1 avoid the op-
proonum wii.cn must rail upon tne na
tion that ruthlessly breaks it.
tub era. service.
The duty devolved by law upon the
president to nominate, and by and with
the advice and consent of the senate to
appoint, all public officers whoso npooint
ment is not otherwise provided for in
tne constitution, or by act oi congress,
has become very burdensome, and its
wise and efficient discharge full of diffi
culty. Tho civil service is so larce that
personal knowledge of any large number
of applicants is impossible. The prcsi-
aent must rely upon tno representations
of others, and these are often made
inconsiderately and without any just
sense of responsibility. I have a right, I
think, to insist that these who volunteer,
or are invited to give advice as to ap
pointments shall exercise consideration
and fidelity. A high senso of duty and
an ambition to improve tho service
should characterize all publio officars.
There are many ways in which the con
venience and comfort of those who have
business with our publio officers may be
promoted by thoughtful and obliging
officers, and I shall eip'jt thosa whom I
may appoint to justify their selection
by a conspicuous efficiency in regard to
their duties. Honorable party service will
certainly not be esteemed by me an abuse
of public office, but it will in no case be
allowed to serve as a shield of official
negligence, incompetency or delinquency,
It is entirely creditable to seek public
office by proper methods, nnd with proper
motive, and applicants will be treated
with consideration. But I shall need,
and the head3 of the departments shall
need, time for inquiry and deliberation.
Persistent impoitunity will not, there
fore, be the best support of an applica
tion for office. Heads of departments
and bureaus, and other publio officers
having any duty connected therewith, will
be expected to enforce the civil service
law fully and without evasion. Be
yond this obvious duty, I hope to do
sometning more to advance retormot tue
civil service. The ideal or even mv own
ideal I shall probably not attain. Re
spect will be a safer basis of judgment
than promise. We shall not however I
am sure, be able to put our civil cervice
upon a 'non-partisan basis until we have
secured an incumbency that fair minded
men of opposition will approve for im
partiality and integrity. As the number
of such in tho civil list is increased re
movals from omco will diminish.
Tne sunPLua
While the treasury surplus is not the
greatest evil it is a serious evil, unr rev
enue should be ample to meet the ordi
nary annual demands npon out treasury,
with a sufficient margin for those extra
ordinarvbnt scarcely less imperative de
mands which arise now and then. Ex
penditure should always be made with
economy ana only on public necessity.
Profligacy and favoritism in public ex
penditures is criminal: but there is noth
ing in tho condition of our country or
our people to suggest that anything nec
essary to public prosperity security or
honor should bo unduly postponed. It
win db me lauty oi congress wisely to
forecast and estimate those extraordinary
demands, and, having added them to our
ordinary expenditures, to so adjust our
revenue laws that no considerable annu
al surplus shall remain. We shall fortu
nately be able to apply to the redemption
oi tue puono aeot any smaller uniore
seen excess or revenue. This is better
than to reduce our income below neces
sary expenditure, with a resulting choice
oetween anotner change of oar revenue
laws and an increase of the publio debt.
It is quite possible to effect that necessa
ry redaction in our revenues without
breaking down the protective tariff or se
riously injuring any domestic industry.
THE NAVX
The construction of a sufficient num
ber of modern warships, and their neces
sary armament should progress ss rapidly
as is consistent with care and perfection
in plans and workmanship. The spirit,
courage and skill of onr naval officers
and seamen have many times in our his
tory given to weak ships and inefficient
guns a rating greatly beyond that of the
naval list. That they will again do so on
occasion I do not doubt, but they ought
not by premeditation or neglect, be left
to the mercies of unequal combat. We
should encourage the establishment of
American steamship lines. Commerce
demands stated, reliable and rapid
means of communication, and until
these ore provided, development of our
trade with the states lying south of us is
impossible.
Our pension laws should give more ad
equate and discriminating relief to Un
ion soldiers and sailors, their widows
and orphans. Such occasions as this
should remind us that we owe everything
to their valor and sacrifice.
THE NEW STATES.
It is a subject of congratulation that
there is a near prospect of tho admission
to the Union of Dakota, Montana and
Washington territories. Tho act of jus
tice has been unreasonably delayed in
the cases of some of them. The people
who have settled in these territories are
intelligent, enterprising and patriotic,
and the accession of these northwest
states will add strength to the nation.
It is due to settlers in the territories
who have availed themselves of the invi
tations of our land laws to make homes
upon the public domain, that their titles
should be speedily adjusted and their
honest entries confirmed by patent.
ELECTION FEAUD3.
It is very gratifying to observe the
general interest now being manifested
in the reform of our election laws.
Those who have been for years calling
attention to the pressing necessity of
throwing about the h.Ulot boxes and
about the elections further safe gnards,
in order that our elections might not
only be free and pure, but might clearly
appear to be so, will welcome the ac
cession of any who did not so soon dis
cover the need of reform. The national
congress has not as yet taken control of
the elections in oa-es over which
the constitution gives it jurisdiction,
but has accepted Uie adoption of elec
tion laws of the several states and pro
vided penalties for their violation and
a method of suppression. Only Ineffi
ciency of ihe state laws, or unfair or
partisan administration of them could
suggest a departure from this policy.
It was clearly, however, the contem
plation of the frameis of the constitu
tion that such an exigency might arise,
and provision was wisely made for it.
Freedom of the ballot is a condition of
out national life, and the power vested
in congress r.r in the executive to secure
or perpetuate it should not remain un
used upon occasion. The people of all
congressional districts have an equal
interest that election in each shall truly
express the views and wishes of a ma
jority of the qualified electors residing
within if, The iesults of s,uch elections
are not local and the insistence of
electors residing in other districts that
they shall be pure and free does not
savor at all of impertinence. If in any
or the states public security is tboilght
to be threatened by ignorance among
the electors, the obvious remedy is edu
cation. The sympathy and help if our
people will not be withheld from any
community struggling with special em
barrassments or difficulties connected
with the suffrage, it the reundies pro
posed proceed upon lawful lines and
are prompted by jutand honorable
methods. How shall those who prac
tice election frauds recover that re
spect for the sanctity of the ballot which
is the first condition and obligation of
good citizenship? The man who has
come to regaid the ballot box as a
juggler hrs renounced his allegiance.
KJ CONCLUSION.
Let U3 exalt patriotism nnd moderate
our party contentions. Let those who
would die for the flag on tlie. field of bat
tle give better proof of their patriotism
and higher glory to their country by pro
moting fraternity and justice. Party
success achieved by unfair methods or
by practices that partake of revolution
is hurtful and evanescent even from a
party standpoint. We should hold our
differing opinions in mutual respect, and
having submitted them to the arbitra
ment of tho ballot, should accept an ad
verse judgment with the same resnect
we should demand of our opponents if 1
the decision had been in our favor.
No other people- have a government
more worthy of respect and love, or a
land so magnificentin extent, so pleas
ant to look npon, so full of suggestion to
enterprise and labor. God has placed
upon our head a dicdem and at our feet
power and wealth beyond definition or
calculation; but we must not forget that
we take these gifts npon the condition
that justice and mercy 'shall hold the
reins of power and the upward avenues
of hope be fr;e to all people.
I do not mistrust the future. Dangers
have been in frequent ambnsh along our
path, but we have uncovered and van
quished them all. Passion has swept
some of our communities, but only to
give us a new demonstration that the
great body of our people are stable, pat
riotic and law abiding. No political par
ty can long pursue advantage at the ex
pense of pu'ol;c honor or by rude and in
decent methods without protest and fatal
dissatisfaction in its own body.
The peaceful agencies of commerce are
more fully revealing the necessary unity
of all our communities and the increase
of our peoplo is promoting mutual re
spect. We shall find unalloyed pleasure
in the revelation which our next census
will make of the swift development of
tho great resources of some of our states.
Each state will bring its generous con
tribution to the great nggregate of the
nation's increase, and when tho harvests
from the fields, the cattle from tho hills
and tho ores of the earth shall have been
weighed, counted and valued, we wili
turn from them all to crown with the
highest honor tho state that has most
promoted education, virtue, justice and
patriotism among its people.

Last week we reported a sale of 550,

for export and SI 35 for domestic.
Following onr announcement of these
extensive operations which had been
condncted very quietly, brokers'
agents in this city become very wary
and for a timo all offerings were with
drawn and tho feeling of firmness
which has pervaded the market be
came even more pronounced. During
the week some further transactions
which were pending on onr last pub

the prica above quoted viz: SI 32

The situation is one of great firm
ness and while it is not our province
to make predictions, the fact that the
bulk ot all the salmon (upwards of
600,000 cases) sold in the past two
weeks has been for the account prin
cipally of large English houses, who
since are reported to havo resold over
there, suggests the strong probability
of advances in the immediate future.
