HARBISON'S INAU&URAL. The President's Views Upon Ini. portaut Public Questions. Discussing the- Tariff, Civil Ser - vice, the Surplus, Etc. The following is tho inaugural address of President Harrison: There is no constitutional or legal require ment that the President shall take the oath of olfico in the presence of the people. But there is so manifest an appropriateness - in the public induction to office of the chief executive officer of tho nation that from the beginning of the Government the pwiple, to whose service the official oath consecrate the officer, have . been called to witness tho sol emn ceremonial. The oath taken in the presence of the . people becomes a mutual covenant The officer covenants to srve the whole body of the "people ,by a faithful execution of the laws, so that they may be the unfailing de fence and security ot those who respect and observe them, and that neither wealth and station nor the power of combinations shall be able to evade their just penalities or to wrest them from a beneficent public purpose to serve the ends of cruelty or selfishness. My promise is spoken; yours unspoken, but not ' the less real and solemn. The DeoDle of every State have their repre sentatives. Surelv 1 do not misin- j terpret the spirit of the occasion when I assume that the whole body of the people covtjnantjwith me and with each other to-uay to support and defend the Constitu- i tion and the Union of tho States, to yield willing o!?dienee to all the laws, and each to every other citizen his equal civil and politi cal l ights. Kn taring thus solemnly in cov enant with each other, we may reverently invoke and confidentially expect the favor and help of Almighty God that He will give to me wixdom, strenjthand fidelity, and to our peop'e a spirit of fraternity and a lovo of righteousness and peace. This occasion derives peculiar interest from the fact that the Presidential term which be gins this day is the twenty-sixth under our Constitution.' The first inauguration of President Washington took place in New York, whero Congress was then sitting, on the udth day of .April, 17s;, havi,ng been de ferred by reason jf delays atending the or ganization of the Congress and the canvass of ' the electoral vote. Our people hare already worthily observed the centennial-4 of the Declaration of Independence, of the )attle of Yforktown, and of tint adoption of the Constitution; and will shortly celebrate in New York the in stitution of tho second great, department of our Constitutional scheme, of Government. When the centennial of the institution of the Judicial Department, 'by the organization of the Kupivnia Court, shall have heen suitably observed, as 1 trust it will be, our nation will buvo fully entered its second cautury. I will not attempt td note the marvelous, and, in great part, happy contrasts lietween our country ns it steps .over the threshold into its second. century of -organized existence under the Constitution, and that weak but wisely ordered youn nation that ltxjke.l undaunt edly down" the first century, when all its years stretched out before it. Onr poopln will not fail ut this time to recall the incidents which iiccoiin.itiied the institution of gov ernment under the Constitution, Or to find inspiration and guidance in the . teachings and example of Wash ington and his great associates, and hope tuid courage in the contrast which thirty-eight populous and prosperous .States offer to the thirteen States.' weak in every thing except, cdurage and the love of liberty that theii fringed our Atlantic seaboard. The Territory of Dakota has now u popu lation greater than any of the original . tStates (except Virginia), and greater than the aggregate of five of the smaller States iii li'.K). The centre of popula tion, .when our National Capital was located, was e;ist of lialtimore and it . was argued by many well-informed persons that it wouid move eastward rather than westward. Yet in ! tSO it was found to be near Ciu . cinnati, and the new census about to be taken will show another stride to the West ward. I'hat which was the body has come to be only tho rich tringe of the nation's robe. Hut our growth has buen limited to ter ritory, opuiatioii, and aggregate wealth, marvelous ns it has been m each , of those directions. The masses of our people are better . fed, clothed and housed than their fathers were. The facilities for popular education . have been vastly enlarged and more general ly diffused. The virtues of courage and pa triotism have given recent proof ot their con tinued presence and increasing power in the hearts and over lives of our people. The in fluences of religion have been multiplied and strengthened. The sweet offices of charity have greatly increased. The virtue of tein perence is held in higher estimation. We . have not attained an ideal condi tion. Not all of our people are happy and prosperous; not all of them are virtuous and law-abiding. But, on the whole, the oppor tunities offered to the individual to secure the comforts of life are better than are found elsewhere, and largely better than they were here one hundred years ago. THE TARIFF POLICY. The surrender of a large measure of sove reignty to the general Government, effected by tha adoption of the Constitution, was not accomplished until the suggestions of reason were strongly reinforced by tha mare im perative voice of experience. The divergent interests' of psace speedily demanded a "more perfect union." Tho merchant, the shipmaster, and the manufacturer discovered and disclosed to our states men and to the people that com- mercial emancipation must be added to the political freedom which had been so bravely won. The commercial policy of the mother country had not relaxed any of its hard and oppressive features. To hold in clieci the de velop. ueiit of our commercial marine, to pre vent or retard the establishment and growth of manufactures in the States, and so to se cure the American market; for their shops aud the carrying trade for their ships, was the policy of European statesmen, and was pur sued with the most selfish vigor. Petitions poured in upon Congress, urging the imposi tion of discriminating duties that should encourage the production of needed things at home. The patriotism of the people, which no longer foturi a field of exercise in war, was .energetical directed to the duty of equipping the young repuolic for the defense of its independence by making its people self -dependent. Societies for the promotion of home manufactures aud for encouraging the use of domestics in the dress of the peo ple weri organized in many of the States. The revival at the end of the century of the same patriotic interest in the preservation and development of domestic industries, and the defence of our working people against injurious foreign competition is an incident wort hy of attention. It is not a departure, but a return that we have witnessed. The protective policy had then its opponents. The argument was made, as now, that its benefits inured to particular classes or sec tions. If the question became in any sense.or at any time sectional, it was only because slavery existed in soma of tha States. But for tn.8 there was no reason why the. cottou . producing' States should not have led or walked abreast with the Naw Kngland States in the production of cotton fabrics. There " ns this reason only why the States that di vide with Pennsylvania the mineral treas ures of the great southeastern and central mountain ranges should have been so tardy in bringing to the smelting-furnace and the mill, the coal and iron from their near opposing hillsides. Mill fires were lighted at cue luneral pile or slavery. The emancipa tion proclamation was heard In the depths of the earth as well as in the sky. Men were made free, and material things became, eur better servants. . The sectional element has happily been s eliminated from the tariff discussion. We have no longer States that are necessarily only planting States. None are excluded from achieving that diversifications of pursuit among the people which brings wealthtani contentment. The cotton plantation will not be less valuable when the product is spun in the country town by operatives whose necessities call for diversified crops, and create a home demand for garden and agricultural products. Every new mine. furnace and factory is an extension of the productive capacity or -the State, more real and valuable than added territory. Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery continue to. hang upon the skirts of progress How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists cherish or tolerate trie incapacities it puts upon their communities? I look hopefully to the con tinuance of our protective system and to the cuiiso ucu ueve.op ueijb ui manuiactUTing and mining enterprises in the States hithar- to wholly given to agriculture, as a potent jrinuenco in tne pertecc uni neat ton or our paople. The men who have invested their capital in these enterprises, the farmers who have Ielt the benefit of their neighbor bood. and the mm who work in shop or nem win not ran to nnrt ana to defend a co Tim unity of interest. Is it not quite possible that the farmers and the promoters of the great mining and manufacturing enterprises which have recently been estab' .lUhed in the South may yet find that the free ballot of the workingman, without dis tinction of raoa, is naede i for their defence as well as for his own? I do not doubt that it these men in the South who now accept tiie 'tariif views of Clay and the coa ititutkmal expositioas of Webster would . -ourag9ously avow and defend their real onv.ctions, they would not find it diffl . cultv by friendly instruction and co-operation, to make the black maa their efficient and safe ally, not only in establishing correct principles inour national Administration, hut in preserving, tor their local communi ties, the beiijfjt of social order and economi cal and honest government At least until the good offices of kindness and education have been fairly tried, the contrary conclu sion cannot be plausibly urged. I have altogether rejected the suggestion of a special ex-scutfva policy for any section of oar country. It is the duty of the Execu tive to administer and enforce, in the meth ods and by the instrumentalities pointed out and- provided by the Constitution, all the la wj enacted bv Conzress. These laws are general and their administration should be uniform and equal. As a citizen may not elect what laws he will obey, neither may the Executive elect which ha will enforce. The duty to obey and to execute embrace the Condi tion ut its entirety and the whole coda of laws enacted under it The evil example of permitting individuals, corporations or com munities to nullify the laws because they cross some selfish or local interests or pre judices, is full of -danger, not only to the nation at large, but much more to those who us', this pernicious expedient to escape their just obligations or to obtain an unjust ad vantage over others. They will presently themselves be compelled to appeal to the law for protection, and those who would use the law ns a defence must not deny that use of it to others. It our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal obligations and duties, they would have less cause to complain of the unlawful imitations 6f their rights or of violent interference with their operations. The community that by concert, open or secret,. among its citizens, denies to a portion of its members their plain rights under the law has severe 1 thw only safe bond of social order an 1 prosperity. The evil works, from a bad center, both ways. It demoralizes those who practice it, and destroys the faith of those who suffer by it in the efficiency ot the law as a safe protector. The man in whose breisfc that faith has b?en darkened is naturally tha subject of dangerous and un canny suggestion. Those who use unlawful methods, if moved by no higher motive than the selfishness that prompts them, may "veil, stop and inijuire what is to be the end ot this. A'n unlawful expedient cannot become a permanent condition of government It the educated and influential classes in a community either practise or connive at the systematic violation of laws that seem to them to cross thair con venience, what can they expect when the lesson that convenience or a supposed class interest is a sufficient cause for lawlessness has been well learned by the ignorant classes? A community where law is the rule of con duct, and where courts, not mobs, execute the penalties, is the only attractive field for business investments and honest labor. Our naturalization laws should be so amended as to make the inquiry into the character and good dis position of persons applying for citizenship more careful and searching. Our existing laws'have been in their administration an unimpressive and often an unintelligible form. We accept the man as a citizen without any knowledge of his fitness, and he nsyimes the duties, of citizenship without any knowledge as to what they are, Tha privileges of American citizenship are so great and its duties so grave that we may well insiBt upon a good knowl edge of every Derson aDDlvincr for citizeushiD and a cood knowledge by him of our institutions. We should not cease to be hospitable to immigration, but we should cease to be careless as to tha char acter of it. There are men of all races, even the best, whose coining is necessarily a burden upon oar public revenues or a threat to social order. These should be.irteutilled and excluded. Wc have happily maintained a pourv of avoiding all interference with European affairs. We have been only interested spectators of their contentions in diplomacy and in war, ready to use our friendly offices to promote peace, but never obtruding our advice, and never attempting unf airly to coin the dis tresses of other Powers into commercial advantage to ourselves. We have i ust right to expect that onr European policy will Te the American policy of Kuropean courts. It is so manifestly incompatible with those precautions for our peace aud safety. which all the great Power3 habitually observe and enforce in matters affecting them, that a shorter water-wav betwern our eastern and western sea boards should be dominated hy any European Gov ernment, that we may confidently expect that such a purpose will not be entertained by auy friendly rower. we snail, in tne tnture, as in tne past, use every eutlcavor to maintain and enlarge our friendly relations with an tne great rowers, but they will not cxpeet. us to look kindly upon miy protect that would leave us. subject to the (liuiger-s of a hostile observation or environueut. We h ive not 60iiglu to dominate or to absorb any of onr weauer neighbors, but rawer to iid and en courage them to establish free aud stable govern ments, resting upon the consent of their own peo ple. We nave a clear right to expect, therefore. that no European Government will seek to establish colonial dependencies npon the territory of these independent American Stales. That which a sense of justice restrains u from seeking, they may be reiiBbuibly expected willingly to forego. It must not be assumed, however, that our inter ests are so exclusively Araericau that our entire in attention to auv events that may transpire else where can be taken for granted. Our citizens, domi ciled for purposes of trade, in ril countries and In many of the islands oi the sea, demand and will have our adequate care in their personal aud com mercial rights. The necessities of our navy re quire coiveuicutcoaliug stations, and dock and harbor privileges. These and other.. trading privi leges we will ieel free to obtain only by means that lo not in auy degree p;irt;ike of coercion, however feeble the Government from which we ask such concessions. But having fairly obtained them, by methods and for purposes entirely consistent with the most friendly disposition toward all other powers, our consent will be necessary to any modi fication or impairment of the concession. w e suau neuner Ian to respect tne nag oi any friendly nation or the just rights of its citizens, nof to exact tlie-like treatment of our own. Calmness. justice and consideration should characterize our diplomacy. The offices of an intelligent diplomacy or of friendly arbitration in proper cases, shonld be adequate to the peaceful adjustment of all interna tional difficulties. ' By such methods we will make our contributions to the world's peace, which no na tion,values more highly, and avoid the opprobrium wnicn ranst tan upon tne nation tnat ruimessiy breaks it. THE CI VTL SERVICE. The duty devolved bv law noon the President to nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint all public officers whose appointment is not otherwise provided for in the Constitution or by act of Congress, has become very burdensome, and its wise and efficient dis charge full of difficulty. The civil list is so large that a personal knowledge of any large number of the applicants is impossible.. The President must rely npon the representations of others, and these are oiten naae inconsiderately and without any just sei.se of responsibility.' I have a right, I think. to insist tnat those who volunteer or are invited to give advice . as to appointments shall exercise consideration . and fidelity. A high sense of duty - and an ambition to improve the - service should characterize all public officers. There are many ways in which the convenience and comfort of those who have basi licas with our r public officers may be promoted by a thoughtful an tid obliging officer, and I shall expect those whom I may appoint to instifv their selection by a coaspicuons efficiency in the discharge of their duties. Honorable party service will certainly not be esteemed by me a disqualification for public office. Hut it will in no case be allowed to serve as a shield of official negligence, incompetency, or delin quency, it is entirely creditable to seek public of fice by proper methods and with proper motives, and all applicants will be treated with considera tion. But I shall need, and the heads of depart ments will need, tinie for inquiry and deliberation. Persistent importunity will not, therefore, be the best support of an application for office. Heads of departments, bureaus and all other pub lic officers having any duty connected therewith, will be expected to enforce the Civil Service Law fully and without evasion. Beyond this obvious duty I hope to do something more to advance the reform of the civil service. The 'ideal, or even my own idea!, 1 shall probably not attain. Retrospect will be a safer basis of judgment than promises. Wc shall not. however, I am sure, be able to put onr civil service upon a non-partisan basis until we have secured an incumbenc'y that fair-minded men of the opposition will approve for impartiality and integrity. As the number of such in the civil list increases removals from office will diminish. ' THE SURPLUS. While a treasury surplus is not the greatest evil, it is a serious evil. Our revenue should ho amplo to meet the ordinary annual demands upon our treasury, with a sufficient margin for those extraordinary bnt scarcely less impera tive demands which arise now and then, ex penditure should always be made with econo my and' only npon public necessity. Waste fulness, profligacy, or favoritism in public expendi tures is criminal. But there is nothing in the con-, dition of our country or of our people to suggest that anything presently necessary to the public prosperity, security, or honor shonld be unduly postponed. It will be the duty of Congress wisely to forecast and estimate these extraordinary de mands, and, having- added them to our ordinary ex penditures, to so adjust our revenue laws that no considerable annual surplus will remain. We will fortunately be able to apply to the redemption of the punlic debt any small and unforseen excess of revenue. This is better than to reduce our income below our necessary expenditures, with the result nig choice between another change of our revenue laws and au increase of the public debt It is quite possible, I am sure, to effect the necessary redaction in our revenues without breaking down our protec tive tariff or seriously injuring any domestic in dustry. The construction of a sufficient number of mod ern warships and of their necessary armament snouid progress as rapidly as is consistent, with care and perfection in plans and workmanship. The spirit, courage aud skih of our naval officers auc seamen have many times in out history given to weak ships and inefficient gnus a rating g?.iatlv Iwyond that of the naval list. That they will agaia do so upon occasion I do not doubt; but they ought not by premeditation or neglect to be left to the risks and exigencies of an unequal combat We should encourage the establishment of Amer can steamship Unas. The exchanges of commerce ilemaud stated, reliable aud rapid means of com munication, aud until these are provided the devel opment of our tradj with the States lying south of us is impossible. - Our pension law should give more adequate and discriminating relief to the Union soldiers and sailors, and to their widows' and orphans. Such occasions as this should semind as that we owe everything to their valor and sacrifice. THIS NEW STATES. ' It is a subject of congratulation that there Is a near prospect of admission into the Union of the Dakota s and Montana and Washington Territories. This set of justice has been unreasonably delayed in the case of some of them. The people who have settled those Territories are intelligent enter- prising and patriotic and the accession of thee new states will add strength to the Nation. It Is due to the settlers in the Territories who have availed themselves of the invitations of our land laws to make homes npon tho pnblic domain that their title should be speedily adjusted and their tiouest entries confirmed by patent ELECTORAL EErORM. , It is very gratifying- to observe the general interest now being niauilesled in the reform of onr election n ws. Those who have been for years calling atten tion to the pressing necessity of throwiug about the ballot box, aud about the elector, farther safe guards, in order that onr elections might not only be free and pare, bnt might clearly appear to be so, will welcome the secession of any who did not so soou discover the need of reform. The National Mugres has not as yet taken control of elections in that case over which the Constitution gives it jur . isQictio;i, but has accepted sod adopted the election laws of the several States, provided penalties for their violation and a method of sapervisou. Only the inefficiency of the State laws, or an unfair or partisan administration ot them, could suggest a depart tiro from this policy. It was clearly" how ever. In the contemplation of the trainers of the Con stitution that such an exigency might arise, and provision was wisely made fur it No power vested in Congress or In the Executive to secure or per petuate it should remain unused upon occasion. The people of all the Congressional districts have an equal interest that the election In each shall truly express the views and wishes of a majority of the qualified electors residing within it The results of ach elections are not local, and the insistence of electors residing in other districts that they shall be pure ana tree noes not savor at au or imperti nence. If in any of the States the public security is thought to be threatened by ignorance among the electors, the obvious remedy is education. Tne sym pathy and help of onr people will not be withheld from any community straggling with special embar rassments or difficulties connected with the snff rags if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawful lines, and are promoted DV inst and honorable methods. How shall those who practise election frauds recover that respect tor tne sanctity or tne oanot wnicn is the nrst condition ana obligation or gooa cuuensnipr The man who has come to regard the oauot-oox as uggler's hat has renounced his allegiance. Let u exalt patriotism and moderate onr party contention. Let those who would die for the flag on the field of battle give a better proot ot tneir patriotism, ana a higher glory to their country by promoting xrater nitr and instice. A party success that is achieved by unfair methods or by practices that partake of revolution is hurtful and evanescent even from a party standpoint We should hold our different opinions in mutual respect, and having submitted tnem to tne arnitrament oi tne Diuot, snooia accept n adverse judgment with the same respect that we would have demanded of our opponents, if the deci sion had been in oar favor. No other people have a government more worthy if their respect and love, or a land so magnificent in extent so pleasant to look upon and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise ana labor, uod i piacea upon oar neaa s ruaaem. ana nas laid st our feet power and wealth beyond deanition or cal culation. But we must not forget that we take these gifts npon the condition that justice and mer cy shall hold the reins ot power, and that tne up ward avenues of hope shall be free to all the people. I do not mistrust tha future. .Dangers nave oeen Infrequent ambush along our path, but we have uncovered and vanquished them all. Passion has swept someot our communities, but only to give as a new demonstration that tne great ooay oi our people are staoie, patriotic, mw-aoiuiug. no politi cal party can long pursue advantage at the expense of public honor, or by rude and indecent methods without protest and fatal disaffection in its own body. The peaceful agencies of commerce are more f ally revealing the necessary unity of all our communities and the increasing intercourse of our peop e is promoting mutual respect We shall find unalloyed pleasure in tne revelation wnica our mu. census will make of the swift development of the great resources ot some ot tne states, iacn otate will bring its generous contribution to the great aggregate of the nation's increase. And. when the harvest from the fields, the cattle from the hills, and the ares of the earth shall have been weighed, counted, aud valued, we will turn from them all to crown with highest honor the State that has thf mout premoted education, virtue, justice, and p triotisnt among the people..

I. T. Williamson, the Million, aire, Expires in Philadelphia. His Great Bequest for a Mechani cal School in Jeopardy. Isaiah V. Williamson," the venerable mill ion aire ' philanthropist, and probably the richeat bachelor in the United States, died a few days ago in Philadelphia. Mr. Williamson was born at Penns Manor, Backs County. Penn.. eighty-eeven years ago. He was the son of a poor farmer, and worked on the farm in summer and attended the "village school in winter. At twelve years he entered a country store at Fording ham, Bucks County, where he remained un til he was about twenty years oia, when be concluded to come to Philadelphia to seek his fortune. After a varied commercial ex perience he became a member of the firm of Williamson, Burroughs lxx , wno carnea on the dry goods business. He was very successful, and retired from active, work many years ago with an immense fortune. aggregating millions. Alter retiring irom tne ury gooas ouai- ness Mr. Williamson became an active figure in financial circles. His fortune grew rap idly under his tudicious investments, and at the time of his death he was regarded as the richest man in Philadelphia. Mr. vV llliani son never married. His economical habits acquired in early youth stuck to him in later years, and as he grew older he appeared -to have an increasing aversion to spending money upon himself. He carried one um brella for over fifteen years, and was always seen wearing clothes of ancient cut and faded and threadbare appearance. - Ma Williamann was m. oh&rita.bla man all bis life, aud has given liberally to all worthy objects. He was, however, averse to pub licity, and enjomea secrecy as to tne giver upon many institutions that were benetittel by his bounty. The House of Refuge re ceived $100,000 from him, and the University of Pennsylvania Hospital and the Jefferson College Hospital, $50,000 each. He gave $100,000 to the Board of Trade fund for the assistance of merchants who had sustained reverses and were without means for making a livelihood. Whenever he sent a contribu tion to any object he simply signed his initials, and few persons know how much h has given away anonymously. The crownine act of Mr. Wiliianison's philanthropic life was the gift of $2,500,000 for the founding of the Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades, which is to be built as soon as location is decided upon. The affairs of the project are new in the hands of a board of trustees selected by him. Al though he gave away a great deal of money in this and other ways, Mr. Williamson, it is said, nrovided well 1 for his relatives. ; The nearest of these are a sister and brother liv- ine in Bucks County, and a brother in Ken tucky. His younger brother, who died some time aeo. left four dauehters, two married and two single. Mr. Williamson always led a life of the srreateet seclusion, and kept himself as much as possible out of the public eye. Owing to the fact that no will is known to have been made by Mr. Williamson, some doubt has been expressed regarding his be quests. Franklin B.
