"Fellow-Citizens: In obedience to tbewlll of the people, and- ltt their presence, by the nuthotlty" csted In rue. by this oath, I assume tlio arduous and responsible duties of president of the Unltid States, relying on the sun port of niy countrymen' and IrivokYrig thtJ guidance of Almighty 6pI. &i!p faith teaches that there is' n6 safer re liance than upon the God of our fath ers, who has so singularly favored tlio American people in every national trial, and who will not forsake usyso '. long as we obey his commandments and walk humbly in his footsteps.

Therefore I deem It necessary- to devise a system without dim inishing the circulating medium, or offering a premium for Its contraction which, will present a remedy for those arrangements which, temporary In their na ture, might well in times of our pros perity have been displaced by w,lser. provisions. With adequate revenue insured, but not until then; can we enter upon such changes on our financial laws as will, while, insur ing, safety and volume to .our money, and no longer impose upon the government necessity of maintaining so large a gold reserve, with Its attendant and Inevitable temptations to speculation, Most of mir finnnMnl lntvo am t.Tio niit.cyrnwt.h I of experience and trial, and should not be amended without investigation and demonstration of wisdom of the proposed changes. If therefore congress in its wisdom shall deem It expedient to create u commis sion to take under early. consideration the revision of our coinage, banking and currency laws and give them that exhaustive careful and dispassionate examination which circumstance de mand, I shall cordially concur In such action If uch power Is vested in president it is my purpose to appoint a commission of prominent well In formed citizens of different parties.

It will suffice while It lasts, but it cannot'last long while the outlays of the government arc greater than its recelps as.has been tho case during the pafct two years. Nor must ltfbe forgotten that however much such loans may temporarily relievo the situation, tho government is still In debted for the amount of surplus thus accrued, while it must ultimately pay. while Itsabllitytopay is not strength ened, but weakened by a tontlnuec de ficit. Loans are Imperative In great emergencies to preserve the govern ment or Its credit, but a failure, to supply neededrevenue in time of peace for'the maintenance of either has no justification. ' "The best way for the government to maintain its credit is to pay as it Roes not by resorting to loans, but by. keeping out of debt through an ade quate income, secured by a system of taxation, external or internal, oi both. TARIFF REVISION NECESSARY. "It Is the settled policy of the kov ernornment, pursued from the begin ning and practiced by all parties and administrations, to raise tho bulk of revenue from taxes upon foreign pro ductions entering the United States fdr sale and consumption; and avoid ing for tho nipst- part every form of direct taxation, exceptlntlme of war, The county is clearly opposed to any needless additions to the subjects of Internal taxation, and is committed by Its latest popular utteranpcs.to the system of tariff taxation. There can be no misunderstanding, either, about the principle, upon which this tariff taxation shall be leyicd. "Nothing has ever been made plainer at a general election than that the controlling principle in .the rais ing of revenue on ImporWDf zealous care for American interests and American labor is wished. The peo ple have declared that sucU legislation should be had as will give ample pro tectlon and encouragement to the In dustries and development of our country. It Is therefore earnestly hoped and expected that congress will at.the earliest practicable moment en act revenue legislation that shall be fair, reasonable, conservative and Just, and which wnuesuppiymg sumo lent revenue for'public purposes, will still be signally beneficial and helpfu fo j every section and every enterprise of the people. To this policy we are all. of whatever party, firmly bound by th'e'vplce of the pcopte a power vastly more potentlnl tlian the ox prcHsIon of any political plqtforru. The paramount duty of congress Is to stop deficiencies by the restoration of thut protective legislation which has always been the Hrmest prop or the treasury. The passage of such a law or laws would strengthen the credit of the government, both at home and abroad, and go far toward stopping the drain upon the gold reserve, lield for the redemption of our currency, which has been -heavy and well-nigh constant for several years. RECIPROCITY TREATIES "In the revision of the tariff, spec ial attention 8jiould bo rflvcn to the re-enactment and extension of the reciprocity principle of tho law. of 1890, under which great stimulus was given to our foreign trade In ncwind advantageous nmrkcts for our surplus agricultural and manufactured pro ducts. The brier trial glvm.tllls leg islation amply Justifies a flirther ex periment, and additional discretion ary power In the making of commer cial treaties, the end Ih yiew always to be the opening upot Hew markets 2SX 'ZLr rS,S of other lands that we need and can- not produce ourselves, which do not Involve any leea-er labor to our own people, but tend to Increase their eSSBSUU-ol the past four years has fallen with especial severity upon the gicat body of producers, and upon none moro than the holders of small farms. Agriculture has Ian- gulahed and labor suffered. Tho tc 1- val of manufacturing will be a relief to both. No portion of our people Is more devoted to thc Institutions of free government, nor more l(iyal In ineir support,, wuue uone owrs more iriirrt'ri; better entitled to Its wise and liberal care and protection. Legislation helpful to producers is reneflclal to all. Thc depressed condition of In- dustry on the farms nnd In the mauU- factories has lessened tho ability of the people to meet the demands upon them, and they rightfully expect that not only a system of revenue shall bo established tnat wui secure tjie mrg- est Income w th the lightest burden w ,. . ...., ,m iv, -!, decrease rather than Increase ournub- ,11c expenditures.

The res- toratlbn of confidence and thc revival of business which men of all parties so much desire, depends tnofe largely upon the prompt, energetic and Intel- ligent action of congress than upon any other single agency that affects tlio Situation.
