He proceeded to the then seat vf government on horseback in l-oaehes and In eight oared barge-. Jlis Journey was a triumphal march. No such scenes of enthusiasm ever had been witnessed in this country as attended his progress. The country people gave him hearty greeting by the roadside; In Philadelphia the citl sens had decorate.! the streets and buildings elaborately and he rode on a splendid milk-white . haiger beneath triumphal arches, and In towns and hamlets farther east bis pathway was i strewn with nowers ny women a 00 children. Details of the reremony attendant upon the administration of the oath of office were worked out after bis arrival in New York, ft It took place In the old Federal Building, which then was the seat of the 1'ongress .and the oath was administered by Chancellor Livingston. The first President was waited upon bv committees of tha House and Senate at bis temporary j of the President, without spechM cer abldlnz place and an r-. nrt of regu emony, although t he oa t h of office was lar United States troops aocompan led him to the 'Capitol.

When the annouiv e ment was made formally that Wash ington had taken the obligation which made him the flrt president of the Vnlted States, the multitude waiting outside of the huildlng gave Itself up to an enthusiastic demonstration. Speeches were delivered and patriotic songs were sung, anil that night there was a display of fireworks. The second inauguration of Wash ington took dace in Philadelphia.

Wash Ington passed the reins of zovein Itient to his successor with the same patriotic grace and willingness and wisdom that had characterised his every public action. The real lest of the government's Institutions came four years later when Thomas Jcffer eon became President. He was not elected by th" people. but by the House of Representatives. The election had resulted In a tie and the House of Representatives exercised its constitutional prerogative of choosing the President The contest In tne House was very bitter, but again the, nation wlth-dowd the sttain magnifl- i ffritly, I xsi o l..-t- ivii'ci'iiiTii i" IT WASH- IN'iiT.

When Uiicoln came Into the Trel licncy, the country throughout was trembling with apprehension. Fr the tirst time In the history of tho I'nited states, regular troops had been ordered to Washington, not for dis plav. hut for protection.

When Oarfield entered the Senate, hamber on Match 4th, Just prior to iking the oath of office, one of the ideate room on tne senate sine of the Capitol. tiis inaugural address was brief and was de livered in the presence of compara tively few persons. No spectacular ceremonies attended his induction Into office. A perfect day characterised tha first Inauguration of Grover Cleveland. The crowd in attendance upon tha ceremony waa We of the greatest ever seen In Washington and the parade was elaborate and magnificent. The Inauguration of President Har rison, whlls elaborate -and ttautlfol In all of its arrangements, was at tended by bad weataarC A notable feature of tha ceremony was his es cort of honor, tha Seventieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, which he bad commanded in the civil war. Presi dent Harrison delivered his Inaugu ral addreaa In a driving; rain, being; sheltered by an umbrella held by one of hia war comrades. Not probably In the history of in augural ceremonies has the weather ever been so bad as it waa at the time of Cleveland's second Induction Into office. Pennsylvania avenue was Inches deep In slush and practically throughout the day rain and sleet fell to the serious discomfiture of all who participated in the ceremony. M'Kl.VLEY'8 A MAGNIFICENT AF FAIR. On the contrary the day on which McKttiley was Inducted into office the first time waa one of the most beautiful that ever dawned. In a carriage drawn by four black horses, he rode to the Capitol, accompanied by Mr. Cleveland, under the escort of Troop A. Cleveland, Ohio's famous Black Horse Cavalry. The demon stration attendant upon the ceremony was magnificent, nearly 40,000 men beln In the line of parade. At his second Inauguration, rain fell inces santly arfd many were the prophesies of 111, as a consequence. These proph esies came too true, for in the fol lowing September McKlnley fell be fore ttv bullet of an as assln. .Following the death o'. McKlnley at Buffalo. Theodore Roosevelt took tha oath of office In the drawing room of John f. Mllhurn's residence In Buffalo. Presfnt at the simple ceremon- were the rurmbers of President McKlnley's Cabinet and about 30 others. As suming the presidency In the shadow of a graat national tragedy, no spec tacular .features were permitted by Mr. Roosevelt. He came to Wash ington on a special train and quietly and unosteintatlously assumed, in this grief-stricken city, the duties of his high office. I.at r ii: ;Suo, elected to the Presl dency in his own right by an over whelming majority, Roosevelt again took the oath of office, this tlroa In the presence of a thong of quite 100, 000 people on the east front of the Capitol. The day was lowering, but rain held off, and the inaugural pa rad fi.iio.t in- in r ce cincnnc at the Capitol was ore of tne r.ost beautiful and pli-turesque ever witnessed In this ountry.

I imagine, that few articles now admitted under a tariff will be placed on the free list. The two ideas, therefore, tariff for revenue and tariff for protection, will unite to maintain many of the present rates. Of course It is a subject of controversy as to whether lowering a given rate will produce a greater or lesser amount ot revenue to determine which many favor a tariff commission of non-par- tlsan experts.'" "Is the tariff sentiment growing In the South, you think?" "I am certain that it is In Virginia.

Secretary James Wilson, of the I ' nlted States Department of Agricul ture, in bis report for 1908, gives some interesting figures In the first paragraph he declares: "Billions upon billions the farmer has again added to his wealth Production has been above the average of recent years all along the line, with few exceptions, and some prices have been up, while others were down. After offsetting losses against gains, In comparison with 1907. there remains a net gain which raises the total value of all farm products of 1908 to the most extraordinary amount In the world's history, 7. 778. 000, 000." Continuing: "The farm value of farm products this year Is JHO.000.- 000 above the value for 1907. 1.023. 1)00,000 that of 106, $1,460,000,000 that of 1906. $1, (119.000. 000 that of 1 904. 1 1 .861.000.000 that of 1 903. and $ :i.0C 1 .000,000 the census amount of 1SH9. or 65 per cent, over that of ten y ears ago.'" The following crop quantities and values are approximately true; "The greatest of all crops Is corn, with 'J, 6 4 3.000.000 bushels, at a val uation of $1,15,000.000, las! year'4 being worth nearly as much as the crops of cotton, hay and wheat com bined "The total value of the hay crop, J2 per ton lower than It was the previous year, was Jt:i,000,000 for 68,000,000 torus. "The wheat crop In quantity was H60.000.000 bushels, and has been of ten exceeded, while the value wai $60,000.000 and was never equaled nor approached nearer than $66,000, 000. "The oat crop, comes fifth on the list Its value was $321,000,000. Then follows barley, rye. rice and cereals. "The potato crop was 275.000.000 bushels, and owing to the drought, a 1 per cent, below the five-year av erage. In value, however, It was 18 1 per cent, above the five-year average and brought $190,000,000. "The value of the tobacco crop to the farmer In 1908 was $70,000,000, about the value of 1907, but much greater than In former years." Mr. Wilson and his expert collectors and accountants were wise enough t) give no figures on cotton lest they go wrong and bring down a multitude of curses upon their official heads before the facts are known "For the first time in the history of this country's agriculture," they ven ture, "the value of the cotton crop. In cluding the seed, has apparently ex ceeded the value of the hay crop, whleh has heretofore held second place for a long number of years." "For the first time the value of all farm product last year, equals $5, 009. 000. 000," It Is said, "and of this total the value of corn Is about one third; wheat, hay and cotton combined more than one-third, and the smaller crops one-third, or the remainder."
