The Inaugural Address.
President McKinley’s inau-
gural address, as a matter of [
course, is supposed to be in ac-
cord with the .Republican plat-
form, and foreshadows what the
policy of the administration will
be. The address is most too
lengthy to give in full, hence we
will only give such portions of it
as affect the great issues that
were before the people in the
last canvas. In his opening he
; said:
“The responsibilities of the
‘ Uiq-h'fi ujt Acr-rrlriCIl 1- KttV6 ’ btrcir
called, always of great impor-
tance, are augmented by the pre-
vailing business conditions, en-
tailing idleness upon willing
labor and loss to useful enter-
prises. The country is suffering
I from industrial disturbances from
] which speedy relief must be had.

all be putrupon an enduring
basis, not subject to easy attack,
nor its stability to doubt or. dis-
pute. Our currency should con-
tinue under the'supervision ‘ of
the government. The 'several
forms of our paper money offer,
in my judgment,” coriftant em-
barrassment to the government
and a safe balance in the treas-
ury. Therefore I believe it
necessary to devise a system,
without diminishing the circulat-
ing medium or offering a pre-
mium for its contraction, which
will present a remedy for those
arrangements which, temporary
in their nature, might well in the
years of our prosperity have
been displaced by wiser pro-
visions. 1 With adequate revenue
insured, but not until then, can
we enfer upon such changes in
our fiscal laws as will, while in-
suring safety and volume, to our
money, no longer impose upon

MONETARY COMMISSION.
“Most of our financial laws are
the out-growth of experience and
trial, and should not be amended
without investigation and. de-
monstration of the wisdom of the
proposed changes. We must be
both sure we are right and ‘make
haste slowly. ’ If. therefore, con-
gress m its wisdom shall deem
iit expedient to create a commis-
sion to take under early consider-
tion the revision of oar coinage,
anking and currency laws and
Lve them that exhaustive, care-
ul and dispassionate exatnina-
ion that their importance -de-
mands, I shall cordially concur
In such action. If such power is
rested in the president, it is my
purpose to appoint a commission
)f prominent, well informed
Citizens of different parties who
Will command public confidence
both on account of their ability
and special fitness for the work.
Business experiences and public
training may thus be combined,
and the patriotic zeal of the
country be so directed that such
a report will be made as to re-
ceive the support of all parties
and our finances cease to be the
subject of mere partisan conten-
tion: The experiment is, at all
events worth a trial, and, in my
opinion, it ca* but 'prove ^bene-
ficial to the entire country:
INTERNATIONAL pi-METALLISM.
“The question of international
bi-metallism 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 goldaud silver money springs
from, and it is supported by the
relative value of the two metals,
the value of silver already coined,
and of that which hereafter may
be coined may be kept constantly
at par with gold by -every re-
source at our command. The
credit of the government, the in-
tegrity of its. currency, and the
inviolability of its obligations
must be preserved. This was
the Commanning- verdict of the
people, and will not be unheeded.
ECONOMY DEMANDED,1

sion of business and distress
among the people. The sever-
est economy must be observed in
expenditures-and -ex-^
travagance stopped wherever it
is found, and prevented where--
ever in the future it may be de-
veloped. If the revenues are,to
remain as now, the ^only relief
that can come must be from de*
creased expenditures. But the
present must not beco&e th,e per-
manent condition of the govern-
ment*' It has been our uniform
practice.to retire, not increase,
our outstanding obligations, and
this "policy must he again re*
sumed and vigorously enforced.
SURPLUS CREATED BY LOANS*
“Between more loans and
more revenue there ought to be
but one opinion. We should
have more revenue, and that
without delay, hindrance or post-
ponement. A surplus in the
treasury created .by ' loans is not
a permanent or safe reliance. It
will suffice while it lasts,' b ut it. . ...
