Address t Congress. dustry and enlightened foresight, but that they result from the discriminat ing fayor of the Government, and ara largely built upon undue exactions from the masses of our people. The gulf between employers and the em ployed is constantly widening and classes are rapidly forming, one com prising the very rich and powerful, while in another are found the toiling poor. As we view the achievements of ag gregated capital, we discover the ex istence of trusts,' combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is strug gling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corpora tions, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast be coming the people's masters. Still congratulating ourselves upon the wealth and prosperity of our coun try, and complacently contemplating every incident of change inseparable from these conditions, it is our duty as patriotic citizens to inquire, at the present stage of our progress, how the bond of the Government made with the people has been kept and per formed. Instead of limiting the tribute drawn triotism and contentment of our peo- j suitors and denial of justice therefrom little delay as possible a new person as 1 1887, was $5,489,174 26 and the cost of has peen strongly urged upon the at- the channel of diplomatic intercourse collecting this revenue decreased from tention of Congress with a plan for the in this country with the government of 3 to 4.10 per cent in 1887 to less than refief of the situation approved by Great Britain.

But the communism of com- bined wealth and capital, the out growth of overweening cupidity and selfishness, which insidiously under mines tho justice and integrity djf free institutions, is not less dangerous than the communism of. oppressed poverty and toil which, exaspeiated by injus tice and discontent, attacks with wild disorder the citadel of rule. He mocks tho people who proposes that the Government shall protect Iho rich and that they in turn will care for the laboring poor. Any intermediary between the people and their Govern ment, or the least delegation of the care and protection the Government owes to the humblest citizen in the land, makes the boast of free institu tions a glittering delusion and the pre tended boon of American citizenship a shameless 'imposition. TARIFF REVISION. A just and sensible revision of our tariff laws should be made for the re let of those of our countrymen who suffer undsr present conditions. Such a revision should receive of all who leve the justice railroad service for the year was 6,600 miles,; but the amount of new railroad service actually put on- was 12.704 miles. The volume of business in the Money Order Division, including transactions in postal, notes, reached the sum of upwards of $143,000,000 for the year. The increase of correspondence with foreign countries during the past three years iss gratifying. It is especially notable and exceptionable with the Central, and South American States and with Mexico. As the greater part. o mail matter exchanged with these countries is commercial ia its charac ter this increase is evidence of the im. proved business relations with them. .

To the Congrats of tha United State : As you assemble for the discharge of the duties you have assumed as the representatives of a free and generous people, your meeting is marked by an interesting and impressive incident. With the expiration of the session of the Congress, the first century of our constitutional existence as a nation will be completed. . Our survival for one hundred years is not sufficient to assure ns that we no longer have -dangers to fear in the maintenance, with all "Its promised blessings, of a government founded upon the freedom of the people. The time rather admonishes us to soberly inquire whether, in the past, we have always closely kept in the course of safety, and whether we have before us a way plain and clear which leads to happiness and perpetui ty. When the experiment of our govern ment was undertaken, the chart adopt ed for our guidance was the Constitu tion. . Departure from the lines there laid down is fsilure. It is only by a strict adherence to the direction they indicate and , bv restraint within the limitations they fix, that we can fur nish proof to the world of the fitness of tlwi Amerieau eoplo for self-gov ernment. ' The equal and exad jnitiee of which we Vmst as tin undei lyinrr principle of our inKtitnlion.s, should nor be confin ed to the relations of our t'itizensto each other. The Government itself is under bond to the American people, that in tli exercise of its functions and powers it will deal with the body of our citizens in a manner scrupu lously honest and fair and absolutely just. It has agreed that American citizenship shall be the only credential necessary to justify the claim of equal ity before the law', and that 110 con dition in life shall give rise to discri mination m the treatment of the peo ple by their Government. The citizen' of our Republic in its early days rigidly insisted upon full compliance with the letter of this bond, and saw stretching outbefore him clear field for individual endeavor. His tribute to the support of hi' Gov ernment was measured by the cost of its., economical maintenance, and he was secure in the enjoyment of the re maining recompense of his steady and contented toil. . In those days the fru gality of the people was stamped upon their Government, and was enforced by the free, thoughtful, and intelligent suffrage of the citizen. Combinations monopolies, and aggregations of cap ital were either avoided or sternly reg ulated and restrained. - The pomp and glitter of Governments less free offer ed no temptation and presented no de lusion to the plain people who, side by side, in friendly competition wrought for ennoblement and dignity 01 man for the solution of the problem of free government, and for the achievement of the grand destiny awaiting the land which God had sriven them. A century has passed. Oar cities are the abiding-places of wealth and lux ury; our manufactories yield fortunes never dreamed of by the fathers of the Republic: our business men are madly striving in the race for riches, and im meuso aggregations of capital outrun the imagination in the - magnitude of their undertakings. We view with pride and Satisfaction this bright picturo of our country' growth and prosperity, while only a Bcrntinv develops a sombre shading. Upon more careful inspec firm wo find tha wealth and luxury of our cities mingled with, poverty and wretchedness and unreninnerative toil A crowded and constantly increasing urban population suggests the im poverishmont of rural -sections, and discontent with agricultural pursuits The farmer's son, not satisfied with his father's simple and laborious life, joins the eager : chase , for easily-acquired wealth. ; We discover that the fortunes real ized by our manufacturers are no longer solely the reward of sturdy in- a. . . .
