JanJ. 6, '3. j - i ,, - - - - CLEVELAND'S IN1USUB&L ADDRESS My Fellow Citizens : In obedience to the mandate of my countrymen, I am about U ded icate myself to their seryice under the sanction of. a solemn oath. Deeply moved by the expression of confidence and personal attach ment which has called me to this service, I am sure my gratitude can matrn no better return thau the pledge I now giye, before God and those witnesses, of unreserved and complete devotion to tho interests aud welfare of those who have hon ored me, I deem it fitting on this occasion, while indicating the opinions I hold concerning public questions of pres sing importance, to also briefly refer to the existence of certain condi tions" and tendencies among our people, which seem to menace the integrity Hud usefulness of their government. - tvhile eveiry American citizen must contemplate, with the utmost pride and enthusiasm, the growth and expansion of our country, the sufficiency of our institutions to stand against the rudest shock of violence, and the wonderful-thrift and enterprise of our free govern ment, it behooves ns to constantly watch for every symptom of insidi ous infirmity that threatens our na tional vigpr. . The strong m.-in, who, in the con fidence of sturdy health, courts the 8iernt8t activities of life and re joices in the hardihood of constant labor, may still have lurking near his vitals the unheeded disease that dooms him to a sudden collapse It cannot be dogbtod that our stupen dous achievements as a people and our country's robust strength have given rise to a heedleesnes of those laws governing onr national health, which we can no more evade than human life can escape the laws of God and nature. A SOTJND CURRENCY NECESSARY. Manifestly nothing is more vital toour supremacy as a nation and the beneficent purposes of our govern ment than a sound and stable cm rency. Its exposure to degradation should at once arouse to action the most enlightened statesmanship, and the danger of depreciation in the purchasing power of wages paid to toil should furnish the strongest in centive to a prompt and conserva tive perception- In dealing with oar present em barrassing situation as related to this subject, we will be wise if we temper our confidence and faith in our na tional strength and resources, with the frank concession that even these will not permit us to defy, with im punity, the inexorable laws of finance and trade. At the snme time, in onr efforts to adjust differences of opinion, we should be free' from . intolerance or passion,' and our judgment should be unmoved hy alluring phrases and unvezed by selfish interests. I am confident that Buch. an approach to the subject' will result in prudent 4ttd effective remedial legislation. In the meantime, SQ far as the ex ecutive branch of the government can intervene, none of the powers rith which it is invested will be withheld, when their exercise is deemed necessary, to maintain our national credit or avert financial disaster. THE EVIL OF PATERNALISM. Closely related to the exaggerated confidence in our country's , great ness, which tends to a disregaid of the rulep of natiqnal safety, another danger confronts us not less serious I refer to the prevalence of the pop ular disposition to expect from the operation of the government especial and direot individual advantage. The verdict of our voters, which condemned the injustice of main taining protection: for protection's sake, enjoins upon the people's ser vants the duty of exposing and de stroying the kindred evils which are the unwholesome progeny of paternalism- This i the bane of repub licanjnatitutions and the constant peril of our government by the peo ple. It degrades to purposes of wily craft tbo plan of rule our fathers established and bequeathed to us an object of oar love and veneration. It perverts the patriotic sentiment of our countrymen and tempts them to a pitiful calculation of sordid gain to be derived, from their; gov ernment's maintenance. It under mines the self-reliance of our people and substitute! in its place depend ence upon governmental favoritism. It stifles the spirit of true Ameri canism and stn pefies every ennobling trait of American citizenship. The lessons of paternalism onght to be nnlearne4 and the better lesson taught, that while people should patriotically and cheerfully support their goyernment. Hi functions do not include the support of the peo ple, .'."yr-:-: , . -. . . ' The acceptance of this . principle leads to the refusal of bounties and subsidies, which burden tbe labor and the thrift of a portion of onr citizens, to aid ill-ad vised . or lan guisbing.enterpriaes in rwbicbi; they have no concern. , RECKLESS 5 PENSION EXPENDITURE. It leads also to the challenge of ft wild and reckless pension expendi ture which overleaps the bounds. o grateful recognition,; of , patriptio geryice, and prostitutes to yicioui i LENOIR, upms the people's prompt and aener ous impulse to aid those disabled in their country's defense E?ery thoughtful American niust ' realize the importance os checking, in pub lic or private station, any tendency, to regard frugality and economy as virtues 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 prodigality, 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 contempt of our people for economy and frugal ity in their personal affairs deplora bly saps the strength and sturdiness of our national character. PUBLIC EXPENDITURES SHOULD BE LIMITED BY PUBLIC NEEDS. It is the plain dictate of honesty and good government that public expenditures should be limited by public necessity, and that this should be measured by the rules of strict economy; and it is equally clear that frugality among the people is the best guaranty of contented, strong support of free institutions. CIVIL SERVICE UPHELD One mode of misappropriation of public funds is avoided when ap pointments to office, instead of be ing the rewards of partisan activity, are awarded to those whose efficiency " promises a fair return of work for the compensation paid to them. To secure fitness and competency' of appointees to office, and to remove from political action the de moral iz ing madness for spoils, civil servico reform has found its place in our public policy. Tho benefits already gained through this instrumentality mul the farther usefulness it promises eotitlo it to the hearty support and encouragement of all who desire to see our public service well performed or who hope for the elevation of political sentiment and the purifica tion of political methods. TRU8TS AND COMBINES -The existence of immense aggre gations of kindred enterprises and combinations cf business interests, formed for the purpose of limiting production and fixing prices, is in consistent with the fair field which ought to be open to every independ ent activity. legitimate strife in business should not be superseded by enforced concession to the de mands of combinations that have power to destroy, nor should the people to be served lose the benefit of cheapness, which usually results from wholesale competition. These aggregations and combinations fre quently constitute conspiracies against the interests of the people, and in all their phases they are un natural and opposed to our Ameri can sense of fair pesa y and io the extent that hey can be reaohed by Federal power, the' general govern ment should relieve our citizens from their interference and exac tions. ALL MEN FR.EE AND EQUAL Loyalty to the principles upon which our goyernment rests posi tively demands that equality before the law, which it guarantees to every citizen, should be justly and in good faith conceded in all parts of the iut.d Tho violation of this right is followed by bad citizenship wherever found ; and, unimpaired by race or color its sacred ness appeals for rec ognition to American manliness and fairness. RELATIONS WITH THE IPJANS. Qur relations with the Indians lo cated within onr borders impose upon us responsibilities we cannot escape. Ucvmanity and consistency require us to treat them with - for bearance, and in our dealings with them to honestly an considerately regard their rights and interests. Every effort should be made to lead them, through paths of civilization and education, to self-supporting and independent citizenship. In the : meantime, as the nation s wards, they should be promptly defended against tho cupidity of designing men and shielded from every influ ence or temptation that retards their advancement. TARIFF REFORM. Too ptoplo of the United States have decreed that on this day the control of the government in its ilpcrislative and executive branches shall be given to a political party pledged in the most positive tei ms ; to the accomplishment of tariff re- form. They have thus determined tin favor of a more just and equita ble system of Federal taxation. The i agents they-have chosen to carry out their purposes are bound by their (promises, not less than by the com jmaad of their masters, to devote themselves unremittingly to this t service. " While there should be no j surrender- of r' principle, our task imnst be undertaken wisely and without yindiotiveness. Oar mission us not one of punishment but of .rectification of wrongs. If, in lift ing the bordens from the daily life of out people w reduce the inordi I nate and unequal; adf dntagestoa long enjoyed, tins is but a necessary incident of our return to right and justice. ; If we extract from uuwillr iing minds acquiescence in the theory of an ; honest distribution - of:, the fund of governmental heneficenoe, treasured up for all, we . but .insist 'upon the principle which .underlies oar free institutions." When we tear N. C, WEDNESDAY, MiAHGH 15, 18&3. aside the delusions aod mifluonccp tions whieh have blinded our coun trymen to their condition under vicious tariff laws, we but show them how far they have been led away from the paths of contentment" and prosperity. When we proclaim that the necessity for revenue to support the government furnishes .he only justification for taxing the people, we announce a truth so plain that its denial would seem, to indi cate the'extent to which the judg ment may be influenced by familiar ity with the perversion of the taxing power ; and when we seek to rein state tbe self confidence and business enterprise of our citizens by dis crediting abject dependence upon governmental favor, we seek to. stimulate those elements of Ameri can character which support the hope of American achievement. CO OPERATION IN THE WORK NEC " ESSARY. My anxiety for the redemption of the pledges which my party has made, and my solicitude for a com plete justification of the trust tho people have reposed in us, constrain me to remind those with whom I am to co operate that we can sue eed in doing the work which has been es pecially set before us only by the most sincere, harmonious and disin terested effort. ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE PEOPLE. Even if insuperable obstacles and opposition prevent the consumma tion of our tank we shall hardly be excused; and if failure can be traced to our fault or neglect, we may be sure the people will bold us to a swift aud exacting hccountihility THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE OFFICE The oath I now take to preserve, protect and deiVnd the constitution of thi- United States, not only im pre8sively drfincB the great respon s bility I assume, but suggests an obedience to constitutional demands as a rule by which my official con duct must be guided. shall, to the hes' f my ability, and within my sphere of duty, preserve the constitution by loyally protecting every grant of Federal power it contains, by defending all its re straints when attacked by impatience and reatlee8nc8i, and by enforcing its limitations and reservations in fayor of the States and the people. AN IMPRESSIVE CONCLUSION. Fullj impressed with the gravity of the duties that confront me, and mindful of my weakness, I should be appalled if it were my lot to bear unaided the responsibilities which await me. I am, however, saved from discouragement when I re member that I shall have the sup por , counsel auu co operation of .wise and patriotic men, who will stand at my side in the cabinet f places or will represent the people in their legislative hulls. I find also much comfort in remembering that ray countrymen are just and gener ous in the assurance that they will not condemn those, who, by sincere devotion to their service, deserve their forbearauco and approval. Above all, 1 -uow t here is a Su preme Being who rules the affairs of men, and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people; and I know that He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek his powerful aid." THE EXCELLENCE OF DELIYEBY OF 1HE ADDQES . The characteristic feature of the inaugural address was the clear. Bteady and excellent enunciation with which it was delivered and the absolute absence of any gesture. Mr Cleveland gave no other empha sis to his remarks than that derived from the emphatic tone and deter mined nod of the head with which he at times stated some of the more forcible passages of his oration. He spoke without notes and turned from one part of the assemble crowd to ' the other, sometimes addressing the multitude in front of the stand and then again turning to the side and addressing himself more particular- ly to the people on the stand. In the confusion caused by the crowd ing, a lack of observance of the ar rangements made aud "the wind, it was impossible for persons within forty feet of Mr. Cleveland to follow his remarks from the beginning to the end. The people on the plaza immediately in front could hear part of the salient features and whenever they signified by cheers their ap proval of special parts of it, the' demonstrations were taker, up by persons further off and who'vero unaware of exactly what had been said. The reference to the currency question provoked considerable cheering, but the loudest approval was given on the tariff section The President begun the delivery of his address about 1 :30 o'clock and it occupied 25 minutes.

Washington, March 4. The SenaU was already overcrowded, but it did not prevent the Cabinet, the Generals of the army and navy, who had been distinguished, from taking their places to the left of the Piesi dent's chair. It was nearly one o'clock when Mrs. Cleveland was seen fanning herself vigorously. There was a rustle and a murmur through the chamber, the doors opened noiselessly and Vice Presi dent Stevenson entered on the arm of Senator McPherson, of New Jersey Senator Hill fixed his glimmering eyes on the Western statesman, who walked up the aisle with a light step of a dancing master, and without trepidation he went through the form of taking his seat, and was sworn in by Mr. Morton. Mr. Har rison appeared a few minutes later on the arm of Senator Teller ana carrying a handsome umbrella. He wore black gloves and there was an air of business about him, and he could not have been more at home had he owned the Senate and the country. Mr. Cleveland followed on the arm of Senator Ransom. He walked yory slowly and with the air of a man who had just come in from a Virginia coon bant. He was evi dently physically fatigued from the exertions and worry of the day. But his face did not show4t. He was as unruffled as a summer sky. Mrs I leveland shot a comprehensive glance at the scene and beamed with satisfaction, fier mother appeared greatly pleased. Then came the official epeeches of the day. Retir ing Vice President Morton delivered his farewell address rhen Mr. Morton declared the Senate adjourned and Vice Presi dent Stevenson took the chair. As provided by,Presidoat Harrison be fore retiring from office, an extra session of the Senate was held to conduct the opening business of the new administration. The, proceed ings began with a prayer from Chaplain Butler, during which Mrs Cleveland bowed low, as did her husband and Mr. Harrison and Sen ator Teller beside him. This over Vice President Stevenson delivered his maiden address. He had a Wa bash accent reminding one of a Western clergyman. Hill watched him sharply and the retiring Cabi net listened with indifference. No ble and VVanamaker did not even look at him. Mr. Stevenson spoke as follows : S enators Dee ply i m p ressed with a sense of its responsibilities and of its dignity I now enter upon the discharge of the duties of thehigh office to which I haye been called. I am not unmindful of the fact that among the occupants of this chair during the 104 years of onr consti tutional history have been statesojen eminent alike for their talents and their tireless devotion to public du ty. Adams, Jefferson and Calhoun honored t a incumbency during t oe early days' of the Republic, while Arthur, Hendricks and Morton have at a later period of our history shed lustre upon the office of president of the most august deliberative as sembly known to men. I assume the duties of the great trust confided to me with no feeling of self confidence, but rather that of grave distrust of my ability sat isfactorily to meet its requirements. I may be pardoned for saying that it shall be my earnest endeavor to dis charge the important duties which lie before me with no less of impar tiality and courtesy than of firmness and fidelity. Earnestly invoking the co-operation, the forbearance, the charity of each of its members, I now enter npon my duties as presid ing officer of the Senate. Sunlight Breaks Out. Washington, March 4. Then, when the formalities were ended amid cheers that re echoed from the great walls of the Capitol and through the trees anchdown across the avenue where the clubs were still coming to join in the grand review, the new and old President stepped down from the portico. And as they t did so the sun broke into view and imusic rent the air, It was "Cleveland luck" once imore. The election returns had 1 told the story time and time again land the inauguration weather had j proven it It was under snowless, ! rainless skies and in a brisk, bracing breeze that the pageant, horse and Ifoot, came back from the Capitol to march in review before the stand at 'the White Horse. ! Memories of the last inauguration Iwere rife in Washington today. Men made aov bones about rehears ing those memories. They told you how in 1889 the weather was fair enough, and the populace, even the hard hit, long suffering Democratic end of it, was jubilant in its demon stratum until in his carriage Grover Cleveland, by the will of the people, was compelled, to take Benjamin Harriaon; as a paaseager for the jour ney to tbo Capitol. Then tne skies 'changed, 'ana the rains descended and the floods came," and the great concoarse of people stood in water to the half, of their shoe tops, and breathed oneumonia and execrated the elements, aad said it was hard luck that the Indiana hero couldn't have had a better show. Cost of tki Rext Vtr. N hile the Reichstag and the Ger man nation ia general are consider ing the cost of "armed peace" the former Minister of State, Schaeffle, a well known statistician, in a letter to the Deutsche Revue, h&a figured out the cost of the inevitable "Wai of the Future." The Franco-German war, be says, cost 12,000,000 marks; if we consider the percentage of the increased war footing of the contending nations, Germany, Aus tria, Italy versus France and Russia, we must calculate on an increase of at least 8,000,000 in the cost of its successor This is the very lowest figure, and it means at 4 per cent, interest $200,000,000 a year I "During the last Franco German war the battles deciding its fate were forced upon France in quick succession. France was weak then in numerical strength as well as in her army leaders. She'is strong to day in both. If we do conquer her the struggle will be a long and fierce one In 1870 71 the"contending ar mies faced each other in the field nine months. It has been calcula ted that with the increased efficiency of firearms, the smokeless powder, etc., the duration of the war of the j future would be shortened. Yet our great strategists assume, and they have doubtless good reason for their assumption, that the war of the future will -last at least 9 mouths. "Those 20,000,000 marks must be raised in cash within those nine months. Where are they to come from ? The imperial war fund, to gether with the cash on hand in the national banks of the empire, would not suffice for the purpose. Cash payment wonld have to besurponded in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, Italy and France, and pa per money issued, unredeemable pa per money. The citizens of each of those nations must accept this unredeemable paper money in lien of cash. In 1870-71 We succeeded, after the invasion of France had lasted only a few weeks, in obtain mg the means for carrying on the war in the enemy's own country. Will we be able to repeat this expe rience ? "If m one of the contending coun tries a social revolution, such as the Socialists of Germany, the Nihilists of Russia and the Communists of France threaten, should break out the estimate of cost must be fuither increased. - "Russia, which does not force her entire beople to take up arms in case of war, will eventually be able to stand the strain of a war and its consequences as far as 'human ma terial,' or flesh and blood, is con cerned, longer than either of the nations in the Tiipple Alliance or Frauce. Germany and her allies, as well as the French Republic, could not .engage in a war such as the war of the future will turn out to be for longer than nine fiionths. But the advantage held oy Russia is liable to be discounted by the circumstance that she will be unable to provide food for her millions of soldiers for longer than the period mentioned " In the financial calculations which the Press quotes from the expert German authority only the direct costs of the war are mentioned. Nothing is said of the losses entail ed by the standstill of all industrial institutions, by the scarcity of work in all mercantile branches and the inability of land owners to make their estates productive. Further more, there is nothing said of the money value of the "human mate rial" retained in the field and event ually crippled or deetroyed. Another faot that mast not be lost sight of is that the German statistician Seems to assume that the war of the future must necessarily have France for its stamping grounds. Now, if France should have profited by Prussia Germany's example in 1864, 1866 and 1870, and this time become the aggressor what then ? Now that the Montana Legislature has adjourned without electing a Senator, the appointment of a Sen ator will devo've on the Governor. This insures the selection of a Re publican, as the Governor belongs to that party. "I do not think the Governor will be in a hurry to make the appointment," said a Montana man to me yesterday. "There are a dozen or more applicants for the place. It has been intimated that the Governor might find it conven ient: to have business out of the State, with the understanding tha lue UlBUUiUtlUli UU'CIUUI nuum oy - point him Senator -in his absence. This arrangement would not be dis tasteful to the Lieutenant Governor, as it would be the means of making him Governor. If the Goyernor makes the appointment himself, his choice, is likely to lie. between ex Senator . Sanders, Mayor Nantle, of Butte City, and Chairman Thomas H.
