WASHINGTON, March 4.——The following
is the full text of the inaugural address of
President McKinley: ..,. .
FELLOW CITIZENS—I11 obedié‘flce to the will
of the people and in their presence, by the au-
thority vested in me by this oath, I assume
the arduous and responsible duties of presi-
dent of the United States. relying on the sup-
port of my countrymen and invoking the guid-
ance of Almighty God. Our faith teaches that
there is no safer reliance than upon the God '
of our fathers, who has so singularly favored
the American people in every national trial,
and who will not forsake us so long as we obey.
his commandments and walk humbly in his
footsteps.
The responsibilities of the high trust to
which I have been called—always of grave im-
portance—are augmented by the prevailing
business conditions, entailing idleness upon
willing labor and loss to useful enterprises;
The country is suffering from industrial dis-
turbances from which speedy relief must be
had. Our financial system needs some revision.
Our money is all good now, but its value must
not further be threatened. It should all be
put upon an enduring basis, not subject to
easy attack, nor its stability to doubt or dis—
pute. Our currency should continue under
the supervision of the government. The sev~
eral forms of our paper money offer, in my
'udgment, a constant embarrassment to the
government and a safe balance in the treasury.
Therefore I believe it necessary to devise a
system which, without diminishing the circu-
lating medium or offering a premium for its
contraction, will present a remedy for those
arrangements which, temporary in their na-
ture, might well in the years of our prosper-
ity have been displaced by wiser provisions.
With adequate revenue secured—but not until
then—we can enter upon such changes in our
finance laws as will, while insuring safety and
volume to our money, no longer impose upon
the government the necessity of maintaining
so large a gold reserve, with its attendent and
inevitable temptations to speculation. Most
of our financial laws are the outgrowth of ex-
perience and trial and should not be amended
Without investigation and demonstration of
the wisdom of the proposed changes. We must
be both “sure we are right” and "make haste
slowly.” If, therefore, congres in its wisdom
shall deem it expedient to create a commission
to take under early consideration the revision
of our coinage, banking and currency laws and
give them that exhaustive, careful and dispas-
sionatc examination that their importance de-
mands, I shall cordially concur in such action.
If such power is vested in the president, it is
my purpose to appoint a commission of prom-
inent, well informed citizens of different par-
ties, who will command public confidence both
on account of their ability and special fitness
for the work. Business experience and public
training may thus be combined, and the patri-
otic zeal of the friends of the country be so di-
rected that such a report will be made as to
receive the support of all parties and our
finances cease to be the subject of mere parti-
san contention. The experiment is, at all
events, worth a. trial. and, in my opinion, it
can but prove beneficial to the entire country.
International . Blmetalllsm.
The question of international bimetallism
will have early and earnest attention. It will
be my constant endeavor to secure it by co-
operation with the other great commercial
powers of the world. Until that condition is
realized when the parity between our gold and
silvez money springs from and is supported by
the relative value of the two metals, the value
of the silver already coined and of that which
may hereafter be coined must be kept con-
stantly at par with gold by every resource at
our command. The credit of the government,
- the integrity of its currency and the inviola-
bility of its obligations must be preserved.
This was the commanding verdict of the peo-
ple, and it will not be unheeded.
Economy is demanded in every branch of the
government at all times, but especially in pe-
riods like the present of depression in business
and distress among the people. The severest
economy must be observed in all public ex-
penditures and extravagance stopped wher-
ever it is found and prevented wherever in
the future it may be developed. If the reve-
nues are to remain as now, the only relief that
can come must be from decreased expendi-
tures. But- t-hc present 'must not become the
permanent condition of the government. It
has been our uniform practice to retire, not
increase, our outstanding obligations, and this
policy must again be resumed and vigorously
enforced. Our revenues should always be
large enough to meet with ease and promptness
not only our current needs and the principal
and interest of the public debt, but to make
proper and liberal provision for that most de-
serving body of public creditorspthe soldiers
and the sailors and the widows and orphans
who are the pensioners of the United tates.
The government should not be permi ted to
run behind or increase its debt in times like
the present.
Suitably to provide against this is the man-
date of duty, the certain and easy remedy for
most of our financial difllculties. A deficiency
is inevitable so long as the expenditures of the
government exceed its receipts. It can only
be met by loans or an increased revenue.
As to Revenue.
While a large annual surplus of revenue may
invite waste and extravagance. inadequate
revenue creates distrust and undermines pub
lie and private credit.
Neither Should be _- ncouraged. Between
more loans and more venue there ought to
be but one opinion. We should have more rev—
enue, and that without delay, hindrance or
postponement. A surplus in the treasury cre-
ated by loans is 1101;498 permanent or‘safe reli-
ance. It will suffice while it lasts. but it can-
not last long while the outlays of the govern-
ment are greater than its receipts, as has been
the case during the past two years. Nor must
it be forgotten that, however much such loans
may temporarily relieve the situation, the gov-
ernment is still indebted for the amount of the
surplus thus accrued, which it must ultimate-
ly pay, while its ability to pay is not strength—
ened, but weakened, by a continued deficit.
Loans are imperative in great emergencies to
preserve the government or its credit, buta
failure to supply needed revenue in time of
peace for the maintenance of either has no
justification.
The best way for the government to main-
tain its credit is to pay as it goes. not by re-
sorting to loans, but by keeping out of debt
through an adequate income secured by a sys-
tem of taxation. external or internal, or both.
It is the settled policy of the government, pur-
sued from the beginning and practiced by all
parties and administrations, to raise the bulk
of our revenue from taxes upon foreign pro-
ductions entering the United States for sale
and consumption, and avoiding for the most
part every form of direct taxation, except in
time of war.
Tar-ll! Taxation.
The country is clearly opposed to any need-
less additions to the 51ij act of internal taxa-
tion and is committed by its latest popular ut-
terance to the system of tariff taxation. There
can be no misunderstanding, either. about
the principle upon which this tariff taxation
shall be levied. Nothing has ever been made
plainer at a general election than that the con-
trolling principle in the raising of revenue
from duties on imports is- zealous care for
American interests and American labor. The
people have declared that such legislation
should be had as will give ample protection.
and encouragement to the industries and the
development of our country. It is therefore
earnestly hoped and expected that congress
will at the earliest practicable moment enact
revenue legislation that shall be fair. reason-
able, conservative :: r I just, and which, while
supplying sufficient I'i‘Vt'llllP for public pur-
poses, will still be grncralzy beneficial and
helpful to every so etxon and every enterprise
of the people. To this policy we are all, of
whatever party, firmly bound by the voice of ‘
the people—a power vastly more potential than
the expression of any political platform. The
paramount duty of congress is to stop defi-
ciencies by the restoration of that protective
legislation which has always been the firmest
prop 'of 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 held for the redemption of our our-
rency, which .has been heavy. and well nigh
constant for several years.
, teciprocity.
In the revision of that tarifi? especial atten-
tion should be given to the rc-enactment and
extension of the reciprocity principle of the
law of 1890, under which so great a stimulus
was given to our foreign trade in new and ad-
vantageous markets for our surplus agricul-
tural and manufactured products. The brief
trial given this legislation amply justifies a
further experiment and additional discretion-
ary power in the making of commercial trea-
ties, the end in view always to be the opening
up of new markets for the products of our
country, by granting concessions to the prod-
ucts of other lands that we need and cannot
produce ourselves and which do not involve
any loss of labor to our own people, but tend
to increase their employment.
The depression of the past four years has
fallen with especial severity upon the great
body of toilets of the country, and upon none
more than the holders of small farms. Agri-
culture has languished and labor suffered.
The revival of manufacturing will be a relief
to both. No portion of our population is more
devoted to the institutions of free government
or more loyal in their support, while none
bears more cheerfully or fully its proper share
in the maintenance of the government or is
better entitled to its wise and liberal care and
protection. Legislation helpful to producers
is beneficial to all. The depressed condition
of industry on the farm and in the mine and
factory has lessened the 'ability of the people
to meet the demands upon them, and they
rivhtfully expect that not only a system of
r. venue shall be established that will secure
the largest income with the least burden, but
b.3315 every means will be taken to decrease
"..;her than increase our public expenditures.
Business conditions are not the most promis-
ing. It will take time to restore the prosper-
ity of former years. If we cannot promptly
attain it, we can resolutely turn our faces in
that direction and aid its return by friendly
legislation. However troublesome the situa-
tion may appear, congress will not, I am sure,
be found lacking in disposition or ability to
relieve it as far as legislation can do so. The
restoration of confidence and the revival of
business} which men of all parties 5 inch de-
sire, depend more largely upon the prompt.
energetic and intelligent action of congress
than upon any other single agency affecting
the situation.
Praise For Our Institutions.
It is inspiring, too, to remember that no
great emergency in the 108 years of our event-
t‘ul national life has ever arisen that has not
been met with wisdom and courage by the
American people, with fidelity to their best
interests and highest destiny and to the honor
of the American nation. These years of glori-
ous history have exalted mankind and ad-
vanced the cause of freedom throughout the
world and immeasurably strengthened the
precious free institutions which we enjoy.
The people love and will sustain these institu-
tions. The great essential to our happiness
and prosperity is that we adhere to the prin-
ciples upon which the government was estab-
lished and insist upon their faithful observ-
ance. Equality of rights must prevail and our
laws be always and everywhere respected and
obeyed. We may have failed in the discharge
of our full duty as citizens of the great repub-
lic, but it is consoling and encouraging to real.
ize that free speech, a free press, free thought.
free schools, the free and unmolested right of
religious liberty and worship and free and fair
elections are dearer and more universally en-
joyed today than ever before. These guaran-
tees must be sncredly preserved and wisely
strengthened. The constituted authorities
must be cheerfully and vigorously upheld.
Lynchings must not be tolerated in a great-
and civilized. .ountry like the United States.
Courts, not m he, must execute the penalties
of the law. The preservation of public order,
the right of discussion, the integrity of our
courts and the orderly administration of jus-
tice must continue forever the rock of safety
upon which our government securely rests.
’ The Late Election.
One of the lessons taught by the late elec-
tion which all can rejoice in is that the citi-
zens of the United States are both law respect-
ing and law abiding people, not easily swerved
from the path of patriotism and honor. This
is in entire accord with the genius of our in-
stitutions and but emphasizes the advantages
of inculcating even a greater love for law and
order in the future. Immunity should be
granted to none who violates the laws, whether
individuals,.orporations or communities, and
as the constl.ution imposes upon the president
the duty of both its own execution and of the
statutes enacted in pursuance of its provisions
I shall endeavor carefully to carry them into
effect. The declaration of the party now re-
stored to power has been in the past that of
“opposition to all combinations of capital or-
ganized in trusts or otherwise to control arbi~
trarily the condition of trade among our citi-
zens,” and it has supported “such legislation
as will prevent the execution of all schemes to
oppress the people by undue charges on their
supplies or by unjust rates for the transporta-
tion of their products to market." This pur‘
pose will be steadily pursued both by the en-
forcement of the laws now in existence and
the recommendation and support of such new
statutes as may be necessary to carry it into
effect.
Concerning Naturalization.
Our naturalization and immigration laws
should be further improved, to the constant
promotion of a safer, abetter and a higher
citizenship. A grave peril to the republic
would be a citizenship too ignorant to under-
stand or too vicious to apppeciate the great
value and beneflcence of our institutions and
laws. and against all who come here to make
war upon them our gates must be promptly
and tightly closed. Nor must we be unmind-
ful of the need of Improvement among our
own citizens, but with the zeal of our fore-
fathers encourage the spread of knowledge
and free education. Illiteracy must be ben-
ished from the land if we shall attain that
high destiny as the foremost of the enlight-
ened nations of the world which. under Prov-
idence. we ought to achieve.
Reforms in the civil service must go on, but
the changes should be realvand genuine;-not
perfunctory or prompted by a zeal in behalf
of any party simply because it happens to be
in power. As a member of congress I voted
and spoke in favor of the present law. and I
shall attempt its enforcement in the spirit in
which it was enacted. The purpose in view
was to secure the most efllcienil service of the
best men who would accept appointment un-
der the government, retaining faithful and da
voted public servants in office, but shielding
cone under the authority of any rule or cus-
tom who are inefficient. incompetent or un-
worthy. Tho best interests of the country
demand this and the people heartily approve
the law wherever and whenever it has been
thus administered. _
The Merchant Marine.
, Congress should give prompt attention to
the restoration of our American merchant ma.-
rine, once the pride of the seas in all the great
ocean highways of commerce. To my mind,
few more important subjects so imperatively
demand its intelligent consideration. The
United States has progressed with marvelous
rapidity in every field of enterprise and em
deavor until we have become foremost iii-near-
ly all the great lines of inland trade, com-
merce and industry. Yet while this is true
our American merchant marine has been steadx
ily declining until it is now lower both in the
percentage of tonnage and the number of ves-
sels employed than it was prior to the‘civil
war. Commenduble progress has been made
of late years in the uphuilding of the Ameri.
can navy, but we must supplement "these
efforts by providing as a proper consort, for it
a merchant marine amply sufficient. for our~
own carrying trad'e'to foreign countries. T36"

of a great people._
It has been the policy of the United States
since the’foundution of the government to cul-
tivate relations of peace and amity with all
the nations of the world, and this accords with
my conception of our duty. now. We have
cherished the policy of noninterference with
the afiairs of foreign governments, wisely in-
augurated by Washington, keeping ourselves
free from entanglement either as allies or foes,
content to leave undisturbed With them the
settlement of their own domestic concerns. It
will be our aim to pursue a firm and dignified
foreign policy, which shall be just, impartial, .
ever watchful of our national honor and al-
ways insisting upon tho enforcement of the
lawful rights of American citizens every- l
where.
A I‘Vord For Arbitration.
Our diplomacy should’heek nothing more and
accept nothing less than is due us. We want
no wars of conquest. We must avoid the temp-
tation of territorial aggression. War should
nchr be entered upon until every agency 01
pence has failed. Peace is preferable to war
in almost every contingency. Arbitration is:
the true method of settlement of international
as well as local or individual differences. It
was recognized as the best means of njustment
of differences between employers and em-
ployees by the Forty-ninth congress, in 1886,
and its application was extended to our diplo-
matic relations by the unanimous concurrence
of the senate and house of the Fifty-first con-
gress in 1890. The latter resolution was ac-
cepted as the basis of negotiations with us by
the British house of commons. In 1893, and
upon our invitation. a treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
was signed at Washington and transmitted to
the senate for its ratification in January last.
Since this treaty is clearly the result of our
own initiative, since it has been recognized as
the leading feature of our foreign policy
throughout our entire national history, the
adjustment of‘difliculties by judicial methods
rather than by force of arms, and since it pre‘
sents to the world the glorious example of rea-
son and peace, not passion and war, control-
ling the relations between two of the greatest
nations of the world, an example certain to be
followed by others, I respectfully urge the
early act-ion of the senate thereon not merely
as a matter of policy, but as a duty to man-
kind. The importance and moral influence of
the ratification of such a treaty can hardly be
overestimated in the cause of advancing civil
ization. It may well engage the best thought
of the statesmen and people of every country,
and I cannot but consider it fortunate that it
was reserved to the United States to have the
leadership in so grand a work. .
Extra Session of Congress.
It, has been the uniform practice of each
president to avoid as far as possible the con-
vening of congress in extraordinary session. It
is an example which, under ordinary circum-
stances and in the absence of a public neces-
sity, is to be commended, but a. failure to con-
vene the representatives of' the people in con-
gress in extra session when it involves neglect
of 13\ public duty places the responsibility 01
such neglect upon the executive himself. The
condition of the public treasury, as has been
indicated, demands the immediate considera-
tion of congress. It alone has the power to
provide revenues for the government. Not to
convene it under such circumstances I can
view in no other sense than the neglect of a
plain duty. I do not sympathize with the sen-
timent that congress in session is dangerous to
our business interests. Its members are the
agents of the people. and their presence at the
seat of government in the execution of sov-
ereign will should not operate as an injury,
but- as a benefit.
There could be no better time to put the gov-
ornment upon a sound financial and economic
basis than now. The people have only‘recent-
1y voted that this should he’done, and nothing
is more binding upon the agents of their will
than the obligation of immediate action. It
has always seemed to me that the postpone-
ment of the meetings of congress until more
than a year after it has been chosen deprived
congress too often of the inspiration of the
popular will, and. the country of the corre-
sponding benefits. It is evident, therefore, that
to postpone action in the presence of so great
a necessity would be unwise on the part of the
executive because unjust to the interests of
the people. Our actions now will be freer from
more partisan consideration than if the ques'
tion of tariff revision was postponed until the
regular session of congress. We are nearly two
years from a congressional election, and poli-
tics cannot so greatly distract us as if such
contest was immediately pending. We can ap-
proach the problem calmly and patriotically.
without fearing its effect upon ‘an early elec-
tion. Our fellow citizens who may disagree
with us upon the character of this legislation
prefer to have the question settlpd now, OVen
against their preconceived views, and perhaps
settled so reasonably. as I trust and believe it
will he, as to insure great permanence—than
to have further uncertainty menacing the va-
ried business interests of the United States.
Time to Test the Law.
Again, whatever action congress may take
will be given a fair opportunity for trial be‘
fore the people are called to pass judgment on
it, and this I consider a great essential to the
rightful and lasting settlement of the question.
In view of these considerations, I shall deem it
my duty as president to convene congress in
extraordinary session on Monday, the 15th day
of March, 1897.
In conclusion, I congratulate the country
upon the fraternal spirit of the people and the
manifestation. of good will everywhere so ap-
parent. The recent election not only mos!
fortunately demonstrated the obliteration of
sectional or geographical lines, but to some
extent also the prejudices which for years
have distracted our councils and marred our
true greatness as a nation. The triumph of
the people, whose verdict is carried into effect
today, is not the triumph of one section, not
wholly of one party, but of all sections and all
the people. The north and south no longer di-
vide on the old lines, but upon pirnclples and
policies, and in this fact surely every lover of
the country can ‘find cause for true felicita‘
tion. Let us rejoice in and cultivate this spir-
it. It is ennobling and will be both a gain and
blessing to our beloved country. It will be my
constant aim to do nothing and permit nothing
to be done that will arrest or disturb this
growing sentiment of unity 'and co-operation,
this revival of esteem and affiliation which '
now animates so many thousands in both the
old antagonistic sections, but I shall cheer-
fully do everything possrble to promote and
increase it.
Let me again repeat the words of the oath
administered by the chief Justice. which. in
their respective spheres, so for as applicable.
I would have all my countrymen observe:
“I will faithfull execute the office of presi‘
States and Will. to the best
of my ability. 1preserve, protect and defend the
constitution o the United States." This is the
obligation I have reverentl taken before the
Lor most high. To keep i will be my single
urpose, my constant prayer, and I shall con-
i'ldentl rely upon the. forbearance and assist-
ance 0 all the people in the discharge of my
solemn responsxbihties.

A tlbei-ul Government salary. ~
Charles Burton carries the --mail-
daily, except Sunday, between two
towns twenty miles apart, receiving
for this the munificent reward of one
cent a year. It is necessary-for him
to travel forty miles a day, or 12,520
miles during the year. The payments
on star routes are made quarterly,
and the question arises as to how Un-
cle Sam is going to pay the quarter of
a cent, but the Contractor will" not
likely sue if the payments are post-
poned till the last quarter, and thou
the Government can forward the cop-
per, which will be in full, The worst
part about the business is that Mr.
Burton has the contract for four
years at the same rate. The cause
for the remarkably low contract is
that Burton was determiied to have
the route over an enemy, who was al-
so a bidder, and besides he had
stages and horses. which he had been
using for years for that purpose.—

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., LL. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several genera
ations has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
Dr. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years a conspicuous member;
one brother, Dr. Josiah Crosby, in-
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, Dr. Thos. R. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later ,
professor of animal and vegetable
"physiology at Dartmouth College;
while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was
the iflwentor and discoverer of Various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including a. new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpa-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of ab-
scess at hip-joint, etc., etc. .
‘At the early age of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over-
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through-
out the world, and won for. him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve-
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound-
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his“ prize formula,”
and which, under the name of. Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has dc-
scended to the long line of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. JIts peculiar vegetable composi-
tion rendered it necessaryto brew it
whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until Dr. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Nature’s Cure
compounded‘ in the laboratory . of
Common Sense.
