Its exposure to degradation. | should at once arouse to activity the most | enlightened statesmanship; and the danger of | depreciation in the purchasing power of the | wages paid to toil should furnish the strongest incentive to prompt and conservative precau- tion, In dealing with our present embarrassing situation as related to this subject we will be wise if we temper our confidence and faith ia our national strength and resources, with the frank concession that evens these will not permit us to defy with impunity the inex- orabie luws of finance and trade. At the same time, in our efforts to adjust differences of opinion we should be free from intolerance or Passion, and our judgments should be unmoved by alluring phrases and unvexed by selfish in- terests. | Tam confident that such an approach to the subject will result in prudent and effective remedial legislation. In the meantime, so far | as the executive branch of the government can intervene, none of the powers With which it is | invested will be withheld, when their exercise | is deemed necessary to maintain our national | credit or avert financial disaster. Closely related to the exaggerated confidence | in our country’s greatness which tends toa dis- | regard of the rules of national safety, another | danger confronts us not less serious. I refer to | the prevalencs of a poplar disposition to expect from the operation of the government especial and direct individual advantages. ‘The verdict of our voters, which condemned ining protection for protection’s sake, enjoins upon the people's servants the duty of exposing and destroying | the brood of kindred evils which are the un- wholesome progeny of paternalism. This is the bane of republican institutions and the constant peril of our government by the peo- ple. the plan of rule our fathers established and be- queathed to us as an object of our love and | veneration. It perverts the patriotic senti-| ment of our countrymen, and tempts them to a pitiful calculation of the sordid gain to be de- rived from their government's maintenance. It undermines the self-reliance of our people, and substitutes in its place dependence upon governmental favoritism. It stitfes the spirit of true Americanism and stupefies every en- nobling trait of American citizenship. The lessons of paternalism ought to be un- learned and the better lesson taught, that while the people should patriotically and cheer- fully support their government its functions do not include the support ef the people.

My Prrrow-Crrizess: | In obedience to the mandate of my country- men, 1 am about to dedicate myself to their service under the sanction of a solemn oath. Deeply moved by the expression of confi- dence and personal attachment which has called me to this service, I am sure my grat- | ftudecan make no better return than the pledge I now give before God and these wit- nesses of unreserved and complete devotion to the interests and welfare of those who have bonored me. I deem it fitting on this occasion, while indi- eating the opinions I hold concerning pub- lie questions of present importance, to also briefly refer to to the existence of certain con- ditions and tendencies among our people which Seem to menace the integrity and usefulness of their government. While every American citizen must con- template with the utmost pride and enthusi- gem the growth and expansion of our country, the sufficiency of our institutions to stand against the rudest shocks of violence, the won- erful thrift and enterprise of our people and the demonstrated superiority of our free gov- e@rument, it behooves us to constantly watch for every symptom of insidious infirmity that threatens our national vigor. ‘The strong man who in the configence of sturdy health courts the sternest activities of life and rejoices in the hardihood of constant Jabor may stil) have lurking near his vitals the unheeded disease that dooms bim to sudden collapse. Itcannot be doubted that our stupendous echievements asa people and our country's Yobust strength have given rise to a heedless- Rews of thove laws governing our national Dealth, which we can no more evade than dbuman life can escape the laws of God and na- ture. Manifestly nothing is more vital to our su- Dremacy a 0 uation and to the beneficent pur- the labor and thrift of a portion of our citi- zens, to aid ill-advised or languishing enter- prises in which they have no concern. It leads also to a challenge of wild and reckless pension expenditure, which overleaps the bounds of grateful recognition of patriotic service and prostitutes to vicious uses the people's prompt and generous impulse to aid those disabled in their country’s defense, ry thoughtful American must realize the importance of checking at its beginning any tendency in public or private station, to re- gard frugality and economy as vittues which we may safely outgrow. ‘The toleration of this idea results in the waste of the people's money by their chosen servants, and encourages prod- igality and extravagance in the home life of our countrymen. Under our scheme of government the waste of public money is a crime against the citizen, and the contempt of our people for economy and frugality in their personal affairs deplor- ably saps the strength and sturdiness of our national character, It isa plain dictate of honesty and good gov- ernment that public expenditures should be limited by public necessity, and that thisshouid be measured by the rules of strict economy, and it is equally clear that frugality among the people is the best guaranty of a contented and strong support of free institutions. One mode of the misappropriation of public funds is avoided when appointments to office, instead of being the rewards of partisan ac- tivity, are awarded to those whose efficiency promises a fair return of work for the com- pensation paid to them. To secure the fitness and competency of appointees to office, and to remove from political action the demor- alizing madness for spoils, civil service reform has found a piace in our public policy and lawn, The benefits already gained through this instrumentality and the further usefulness it promises entitle it to the bearty } Support snd encouragement of all who desire | to see our public service well performed or who hope for the elevation of political sentiment | aud the purification of political methods. ‘The existence of immense aggregations of kin- | dred enterprises and combinations of business interests, formed for the purpose of lim- iting production and fixing prices, is incon- | sistent with the fair field which ought to | be open to every independent activity. Legit- ate strife in business should not be super- seded by an enforced concession to the de- mands of combinations thst have the power to destroy; nor should the people to be served lose the benefit of cheapness, which usually results from wholesome competition. These aggregations and combinations fre- | quently constitute conspiracies against the in- | tercsts of the people, and in all their phases they are unnatural and opposed to our Ameri- | can sense of fairness. To the extent that they can be reached and restrained by federal power. the general government should relieve our citizens from their interference and ex- actions, Loyalty to the principles upon which our interests. Every effort should be made to lead them, through the paths of civilization and education, to self-supporting and independent eltizenship. In the meantime, as the nation’s wards they should be promptly defended against the cupidity of designing men and shielded from every influence or temptation that re- tards their advancement. ‘The people of the United States have decreed that on this day the control of their govern- ment in its legislative and executive branches shall be given to a political party pledged in the most positive terms to the accom- Plishment of tariff reform, They have thus determined in favor of amore just and equitable system of federal taxation. The agents they have chosen to carry out their pur- poses are bound by their promises, not jess than by the command of their masters, to devote themselves unremittingly to this service. While there should be no surrender of prin- ciple, our task must be undertaken wisely and without vindictiveness, is not punishment, but the rectification of wrongs. If, m lifting burdens from the daily life of our people, we reduce inordi- nate and unequal advantages too long enjoyed, Our mission WASHINGTO this is but a necessary incident of gur re- turn to right an unwilling minds of an honest di escence in the theory | ribution of the fund of eee. ARETE SST , SSH we but insist upon a principle which underlies our free institutions. When we tear asi the delusions and misconceptions which have le tar they have been Jed away from the paths of contentment and prosperity. the government furnishes the only justification for taxing the people, we announce a truth cate the extent to which judgment may be influenced by familiarity with perversions of the taxing power; and when we seek to re- instate the self-confidence and business enter- prise of our citizens by discrediting an abject dependence upon governmental favor we strive government rests positively demands that the equality before the law which it guarantees to every citizen should be justly and in good faith conceded in all parts of the land. The enjoy- ment of this right follows the badge of citizen- ship wherever found, and, unimpaired by race or color, it appeals for recognition to American manliness and fairness. Our relations with the Indians located within our borders inspose upon us responsibilities we cannot escape. Humanity and consistency require us to treat them with forbearance, and in our dealings with them to honestly and considerately regard their rights and to stimulate those elements of American char- acter which support the hope of American achievement. Anxiety for the redemption of the pledges which my party has made, and solicitude for the complete justification of the trust the peo- ple bave reposed in us, constrain me to remind those with whom I am to co-operate that we can succeed in doing the work which has been especially set before us only by the most sincere, harmonious and disinterested effort. Even if insuperable obstacles and opposition prevent the consummation of our task, we shall hardly be excused; and if failure can be traced When we pro- | claim that the necessity for revenue to support | so plain that its denial would seem to indi- | N, D. ©, SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1893. to our fault or neglect, we may be sure the peo- ple will hold us to a swift and exacting account- ability. The onth I now take to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, not only impressively defines the great respon- sibility I assume, but suggests obedience to constitutional commands as the rule by which my officinl conduct must be guided. Ishall to the best of my ability, and within my sphere of duty, preserve the Con- stitution by loyally protecting every grant of Federal power it contains, by defending all its restraints when attacked by inpatience and restlessness, and by enforcing its limitations and reservations in favor of the states and the impressed with the gravity of the duties that confront me and mindful of my weakness, Ishould be appalled if it were my lot to bear unaided the responsibilities which await me. I am, however, saved from discourage- ment when I remember that I shall | have the support and the counsel and co-opera- tion of wise and patriotic men who will stand at my side in cabinet places or will represent the people in. their legislative halis, I find also much comfort in remembering and in the assurance that they will not con- demn those who by sincere devotion to their THE NEW SENATORS.
