At the east end of the court was perhaps
tho most pleasing feature of the whole con

The chief fature was tho production of an

Mr. MrKliiley,!i Inaugural Gown.
Theg,.wn which Mrs. McK!nley wore at

the full train. Tho right tide of the skirt is
also slashed open halfway up, and under

The bodice is tight fitting and slightly

follows:
Fellow Citizens; la obedience to the wilj
of the people and in their presence, by the
authority vested in me by this oath, I assume
the arduous and responsible dutio of Presi
dent of the laite.l States, relying on th j
support of ,n eoi.iurymen an 1 invoking the
guidance of Almighty God. O.ir faith
teaches that there is no safer relaneethaa

long as we obey His command

Th" re-pousibiiiiics of tin high trus' to
which 1 have bc-u called always of grave
importance are augneuted by the prevail
ing business condition, entailing idleness
up in willing labor an I loss to useful f-nter-pr.s-
liie country is suffering from industrial
lst.irbaii 'es from which spec iy relief must
be had. Our IlinnediU system nee Is so.no

lbi-must not further be threateued It
shoirt 1 all ne put unon an en luring basis,
-a it subje-t to easy attack, norits stability t'j
louLt or dispute.
F.r li. ttcr I'.ij.it Money.
Our currency saould continue under the
Mip Tvision of tiie Government. The sev
eral forms ot our paper money offer, in my
judgment, a con-timt embarrassment to the
Government and to a safe balance in the
treasury. Therefor.. I believe it necessary
to devise a sysben which, without diministi
iii - the circulating me limn orolTeriug a pre
mniiii for its contraction, will present it
remedy for thes" arrangements, which, tem
porary in their nature, might well in the
years of our prosj erlty have been displaced
by wiser provisions.
With a .equate revenue secured, but not
until then, we can enter upon sueii ch iu-es
in our finance, laws ns will, while iusurili"
-a ty.in 1 v.) urn to our money, no longer
impose up n the Government the necessity
of maintaining so h.rg" a gold reserve with
its attendant and inevitable temptations to
speculation. Most of unr Ilimncial laws are
the outgrowtli of experience and trial aud
should not be amended wit. ' out investiga
tion and d-monstration of the wisdom of the
proposed changes.
We must bo both "-ure we are right" aud
'make haste slowly." If, therefore, Con
gress in its wisdom shall deem it expedient
to create a commission to take under early
consideration the revision of our coiu:i"e
banning and currency laws, and give them
that exhaustive, careful ,tud disonssiouate
ex iuiiuation that their importance demands,
I shall cordially concur in such action.
1. -such power is vested in the President it
is mv purpose to appoint a commission of
prominent, weli-iLhirme t citizens of differ
ent parties, who will command public con
lldcuce botlun account of their ability and
special fitness for the work, business experi
ence and public train ng may thus be com.
t ue.l. and t ue patriotic zeal of the friends of
tne country bo SJ directed that such a report
will ho made as to receive the support of nil
parlies, .-mil our finances cease to be the sub
ject of mere partisim contention. The hx
p "nnieut is, nt nil ev-nts, worth a trial, nu 1
in my opinion it can but prove beuellcial to
lhacutire country.
1'nvors KiinetallUui.
Tlieqitcsiiou ol international hi aietaliisiu
will have early and earnest attention.
It will be my constant endeavor to secure
it by co-operation with the other great com
mercial powers or the world. Until that con
dition is realized when the parity between
our gold and stiver money springs from and
is supported by the relative value of tha two
in 'tills, tne value of the silver nlrea ly
coined, and of that which mnv hereafter be
co:ne,. must bo kept constantly at par with
gold by every resource at our command.
the credit of the Government, the integ
rity of its currency an 1 the inviolability of
Us ob.igation must be preserved. This was
the commanding verdict of tho people, aud
it will not b- unheeded.
Economy is deman led in every branch oi
the Government at all times, but especially
in periods like the present of depression in
business and distress among the people.
Tho severest economy mu-t be observed in
all public expenditures and extravagance
stopped wherever it is found, and prevented
wherever in the future it may be developed.
If the revenues are to remain as now, the
only relief that cin come must be from de
creased expenditures.
IJut the present must not become tho per
manent condition of the Government. It
has been our uniform practice to retire, not
increase, our outstanding obligations, and
this policy must again be resutnel and
vigorously enforced. Our revenues should
always bo largo enough to meet with ease
r.- i j 3 pr-. ; t oniy our current ncels,
and the principal and interest of the public
debt, but to make proper and liberal pro
visions for that most deserving body of pub
lic creditors, the soldiers and the sailors an I
the widows iitei orphuns who are the pen
sioners of the I'n i ted States.
.More I'.eveiiiii-- Not Loan.
The Government should not be permitted
to run behind or increase its debt in times
like the pr. sent.
Suitably to provide against this is the
mandate of duty; tho certa n and cosv
remedy for most of our financial difficulties"
A deficiency is inevitable so lout, as the ex
penditures of the Government exceed its re
ceipts. It can only be met by loans or an iucreased
revenue.
While a large anti.ial surplus of revenue
may invite waste and extravagance, inade
quate revenue creates distru.-t ar. l under
mines public and private ere.tit.
Neither should be encouraged. Jtetweea
more loans and more revenue there ought to
bu but one oi.inion. We should have more
revenue, and that without delay, bin Irauce
or postponement.
Tho best way forthe Government to mnin
tain its ere lit is to pay m it goes U"t bv
resorting to loans, but by keeping out of
.le t through nu ad".piat incline secure 1
by a system of taxation, externa! or internal,
or both.

peopie. To this policy we are all. of w! at
ever party, tlrmly bound by the voi -e of th
people a power vis; ly more potential than
the expression of ;lrjy ..j; it ioal platform.
The paramount duty of Congress is to st-
atlieiencies by the restoration of that j ro
tctive legislation wbieh has always bei n th
flrmest prop cf the Treasury. The pn.-?ag-of
such a law or laws would strerjirtben tr

.'rnla upv'ii tha told roerve h.l fyr d" r--ii-mr-tion
of our currut:y, which ha- l -
heavy an 1 well nigh constant for scvcr.il
year.s
In the revisicfn of the tariff espefi.a! atten
tion should bo given to the re-enact aieut an 1
extension of the reciprocity principle of the
law of lSf. under which so great a stimulus
was given to oar foreign trade in new an I
advantageous markets for our surplus agri
cultural au 1 m.nufactured prolans. Ih
tiri-f trial giv-n this legislation amply j isti
lles a further experiment mi l a ld tional di
creiionary power in the making of co:nui"r
ci..l treaties, tne end in vie alwav to be
the openiag up of new mark-Is for th- prod
u.ds of our country by granting concessions
to th ; products or other land that we ne 1
au I c iu:i it pro luce ourselves, and which do
not involve auy los ot labir to our own
people, but ten 1 to in 'reosj their employ
ment. Tho depression of th:; rat four vears l..n
fallen with especial severity upon the great
body of toilers of the country, md upon none
more than the holders of s-nad farms. Agri
culture has languished and labor suffered.
The revival of manii'nemnng will be .1 re
lief to both. No portion of our population
is more devotej to tho institutions of free
government, normore loyal in their support,
while nono bears more cheerfully or fully ii 9
prop-r share in the maintenance of th" gny.
eminent, or is better entitle! to its wise an I
liberal care nnd protection. Legislation
helpful to producers is beneficial to all.
The depressed condition of industry on the
far.n mi l in the mine nud factory, has
lessoned the ability of th people to meet the
demands upon them, aud they rightfully ex
pect that not only a sv-e:u of revenue shall
be established that will secure'the largest in
come with the least burden, but fiat every
means will be taken to decrease, rather tbau
increase, our public expenditures.
Court Mnt It.ile.
The great essentia! tou- h.appincis an 1
prosperity is that we adhere to .he princip'en
iiD.m which the Government was established
and insist upon toeir faithful observance.
Equality of rights must prevail nnd our laws
b; nlways and everywhere respected nnd
obeyed. We may have failed iu the discharge
of our full duty us citizen of the great P.e
public, but it is consoling nud encourag;ng to
realize that free speech, a free press, free
thought, free schools, the fren and un
molested right of religious liberty and
worship and free aud fiir elections are
dealer and more universally enjoyed to-day
than ever before
Theso guarantees must be sacredly pre
serve 1 and wisely strengthened. The con
stituted authorities must be cheerfully and
vigorously uphel I. Lynching must not be
tolerated in a gr-atnal civilized country
like the United States; courts not mobs
must execute the penalties of the law. The
preservation of public order, the right of dis
cussion, the integrity of our courts an I the
or lerly administration of justice must con
tinue forever the rock of safety upon which
our Government securely rests.
Against Trusts.
Tho declaration of tho party now restored
to power has been in tho past that of "oppo
sition to all combinations ot capital organ
ize I in trusts, or otherwise, to control arbi
trarily the condition of trade among our
citizens," and it has supporte 1 "such 1 'gisla
tion as will prevent the execution of all
schemes to oppros the people by undue
charges on their supplies, or by unjust rates
for tho transportation of their products to
market."
Tnis purpose will be steadily pursued, both
by the enforcement of the laws now in exist
ence, nnd the recommendation and support
o f such new statutes as may be necessary to
carry it into eflect.
ISetler St tn.bir.l of Citizenship.
Our naturalization nnd immigration laws
should be further improved to the constant
promotion of n safer, a better and a higher
citizenship. A grave peril to the llepublic
would bo a citizenship too ignorant to under
stand, or too vicious to appreciate the great
value and beneficence of our institutions and
laws, and against all who come hero to make
war upon them cur gates must be promptly
and tightly closed. Normust we be unmind
ful of the nee 1 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 ban
ished from the land, if wo shall attain that
high destiuy a the foremost of the enlight
ened nations of tho world which, uu ter
Provideuce, wo ought to achieve.
Civil Service lteform.
Reforms in the civil service must go out
But the changes should b$ real aud genuine
not p -rfunotory or prompted by a zeal in be
half of any party, simply because it happens
to be in power.
As a. member of Congress I voted nud
spoke in favor of the present law. and I
bhall attempt its enforcement iu tho spirit in
which it was cna ted. The purpose iu vic-.v
was to secure the most efUcl' Ut service of
the best men who would accept appointment
under the Government, retaining faithful
and devote 1 public servants in ofilcc, but
shielding none, under the authority ol auy
rule or custom, who are inefficient, incom
petent or unworthy. The best interests of
the country demand this, and the people
heartily approve the law wherever mil
whenever it has been thus administered.
Itevive Merchant Marine.
Congress should give prompt attention to
the restor ition of our American merchant
marine, ouca the pride of the seas in all the
great ocean highways of commerce. To my
mind, few more important subjects s im
peratively demand its intelligent considera
tion. The Unite 1 States has progressed with
marvelous rapidity in every Held of enter
prise and endeavor until we have become
foremost in nearly all the great iines of in
lan 1 tral". commerce an I industry.
Yet. while this is tru, our American
merchant marine has been steadily declining
until it is now lower both in the percentage
of tonnage and the number o.' vessels em
ploye 1, than it was prior to the Civil War.
Commendable progress has been n.nje of
late years in nponn ting ot the American
Navy, but we must supplem-nt these effort
by providing as ; propT cons rt for it a
merchant marine amply sufficient for our
own carrying tralo to foreign countries.
The question is one that appeals both to our
business necessities and tho patriotic aspira
tions of a great peopie.
I'rce Arbitration Trenty.
It will be our aim to pursue a firm and
dignilled for-igu policy, which shall be just,
impartial, ever watchful of our National
J honor and alwaysinsisting upon the enforce
ment of the luwful rights or American e ti-z-'Bs
everywhere. Our diplomacy should
s-ek nothing morn and accept nothing less
than is due us.
W-want no wars of conquest; we 1011-t
avoid the temptation of territorial aggres
sion. War shoul I never be entered upon un
til every agency of peace has faile !; pea 'o is
preferable to war in almost every cuitin
gency. Arbitration is the true metho I of settle
ment of international as w-11 a local or in.
dividual differences. It wis recognize 1 as
the best means of adjustment of (IPT-ren'",
"tween employers and employes bv the
Forty-ninth Congress iu lsi;. and its appli
cation was ext-icled to our diplomatic rela
tions by th" unanimous con iiirr'u't of the
Senate and II itise of the Fifty-llr-t Cougre-s
in IsjO. The latter res ilutioa was ao ;:; 1
a the b t-is of negotiations with u byth
Iiritish H .us of Commons iu 1-,'j.t, and upon
our invitation a treaty of arbitration -tween
tho Unite I States an 1 Great Hr.taiu
was signed at Washington an 1 trar.-1.1t el
to the Senate for its ratification in Janaary
las.
Since this treaty is clearly th- re-ul; of our
