A great many Republican manufac
turers, not in a combine or trust, have
at last discovered that they cannot
Increase production and find a mare:t
until the tariff is revised. As long as
the home market absorbed all they
could produce they were satisfied to
have raw materials and foreign made
products taxed by a high tariff, but
now the Repu panic having re
duced consum and having a
surplus to they must either r
ducet' output or seek foreign
markets for their surplus. To cheapen
their products they must have free
raw materials, and that is what some
are demanding, and then they are con
fronted with the dilemma that the tar
iff generally must be reduced, so that
the cost of living may be decreased
and wages thus be reduced without in
jury to their workmen employed.
Gov. Douglas of Massachusetts, the
great boot and shoe manufacturer, has
for years been telling his brother man
ufacturers that present conditions
were approaching and advising them
and 'the people of Massachusetts to
demand tariff to save the industries
of that state. A majority of the boot
and shoe manufacturers of New Eng
land have joined with him in that de
mand, but Gov. Douglas being a Demo
crat, many hang back on account of
partisan politics, although the people
elected him'erovernor by a large ma
_Yoilty on issues of radical tariff

the fact, long since claimed by De 0

That time has now come. The
breakdown of the financial and eco

has produced business depression, and
the first people to suffer are the manu
facturers and their workmen. The
most ordinary business sense woull
seem to demand forthwith such
endment of the tariff law afs would
give our ,manufacturers the free raw

people weeo/ meitl relieved

ROM present indications it is ap
parent that there will be no
falling off in the inaugural cel- t]
ebration this year. Althoughhe a
never led a charge of rough riders and I
has no actual right to sing "Cheer Up, n
Comrades," Mr. Taft will be honored J
by an attendance at the inaugural cer- Il
emonies of as great a military force as a
that which marched in parade behind b
President Roosevelt. In keeping with t<
the essentially peaceful and civic char- o
acter of the incoming president, the in- v
.dustrial and civilian feature of the pa- p
rade of next March 4 will be far more e
extensive and imposing than ever be- i
fore.
The program of the Inaugural period o
is divided into five important features g
and some others of a lesser degree of i
interest-first, the Imposing military a
division of the pageant, which has a
been arranged on a big scale by Major I
General J. Franklin Bell. who is grand z

URING the early years of the I
government, before the capital
was moved to Washington, the I
induction of a president, al
ough a ceremony of great dignity I
id solemnity, was a very small and t
lect affair. e
In New York for nearly a fortnight
eceding the great day of April 30, '
'89, every tavern and boarding house
id been thronged with visitors, and 1
i the day before the inauguration
very private house was filled with I
iests from all parts of the Union.
In the center of the procession. pre- 1

efferson's second inauguration on
treh 5, 1805, was simpler, if possible,
in his irst.
A Ceremonlous Occasion.
Lhe inauguration of James Madison
s the first ceremony whi- was
tde a great occasion. The day was
bered in by a federal salute'. and at
early hour the v-olunteer corps of
litia began to assemble. So great
Ls the crowd that the oath of offiee
ts administered in the old hail of
resentatives, now statualry bail, at
e capitol. For the first time In the
story of inaugurations the various~
nches of the government were ush
d into the hail with ceremonious
wp and parade.
rames Madison was Inaugurated the
and time on March 4, 1813. H~e had
military escort, and the ceremonies
the house of representatives were
nilar to those of hIs first inaugura
in. In the evening there was an in
guration bali at Davis' hotel, which
now the Metropolitan.
The 4th of March, 1817, was a beau
all day and there was a large crowd
witness the inauguration ceremo
es. The president elect and vice
esident elect left the private res!
ce of President Monroe, attended
a large cavalcade of citizens on
ind remain standing unti the person
Lnnounced is seated.
Mr. Fairbanks' Valedictory.
When all the dignitaries have ar
-ived the vice president will deliver
.s valedictory and will then call to
the rostrum James S. Sherman, to
whom he, will administer the oath of
:he vice president of the United States,
fter which he will declare the senate
djourned without day. Having been
;worn, Mr. Sherman will ascend the
ostrum and, taking the gavel, will call
:he senate to order for the new session
md will ask that new members of the
;enate come forward and take the
ath of office. Presumably there will '
>e sixteen new faces in the senate.
Each new senator, accompanied by his
:olleague, will step forward and take
,he oath. This done, the entire assem- th
blage will proceed to the inaugural at
tand. se
The sergeants-at-arms of the senate
ind the house will lead the stately p,
procession. This is an innovation, as it
beretofore it has been led by the mar- he
shals of the supreme court and of the or
District of Columbia. Those present in ei
the senate chamber will fall into line
in the same order in which they en
tered the senate, and the entire com- cc
pany will march to the inaugural re
stand. In
The troops gathered in front of the tr
stand will present arms as the presi- t:
dent and the president elect appear at W
the main door of the capitol. and when
they have arrived at the front of the
stand Chief Justice Fuller will step
forward and administer to Mr. Taft
the oath of office, following which the
new president will deliver his Inau
gural address, which is understood to
be unusually brief. From the stand
the president will descend a flight of
steps to his carriage and drive imme
diately to the White House. where he
may snatch a brief luncheon bcfore
taking his place in the stand.
There will be a slight change this
year in the order of the progress of the
president, the president elect and the
vice president and the vice president
elect to the capitol. In view of the close
relations of Senator Lodge to the pres
ident he will ride in the carriage with
the president and the president elect,
as will also Senator Knox. who as
chairman of the committee on ar
rangements is the personal escort of
the executive. The vice president will
have as escort Senator Bacon and Iep
resentatives Burke and Gaines, while
the vice president elect will be accom
panied by Senator Frye, the presIdent
pro tempore of the senate, and Repre
sentative Young. Heretofore only one
senator has accompanied the two chief
figures in the ceremonies.

A Notable Celebration.
The inauguration of "Old Tippeca

that ever occurred in the national cap

which preceded his election great
Crowds gathered in Washington to
witness the inauguration.

It was a cold, rainy day when Presi

was a long procession of the military
as well as civic organizations.
Zachary Taylor had fine weather,
unlimited noise and great ceremonies
attending his inauguration. As the 4th
fell on Sunday, he was inaugurated on
Monday.
As President Taylor died on July 9.
one year after his inauguration, Vice
President Millard Fillmore took the
oath of office on July 10 in the house
of representatives.
The inauguration of Franklin Pierce
was unique In the fact that the vice
president elect, William R. King, was
not In Washington to be sworn Into
office, but was on a mission to Cuba
and took the oath of office at a plan
tation on the hills above Matanzas at
the same time President Elect Pierce
was being sworn in In Washington.
There was no inaugural ball.
The 4th of March, 1857. was a splen
did day, and James Buchanan was In
augurated with much pomp and cere
mony. After reaching the White
House President Buchanan held al
public reception and at night attended
the inauguration ball, which was held
in a building In Judiciary square erect
ed for that purpose.
The Lincoln Festivities.
Abraham Lincoln had a bright, clear
day for his first inauguration, but it
rained and the streets were wet and
muddy when he took his second oath
of office. The martyr president went
to the capital from Springfield by way
of Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia. and, al
though he was given receptions all
along the way, when he reached Har
risburg, on account of threatened vio
ce, it was thought best to change
the ns, and he proceeded to Phila

arriving t e at midnight, he entered
the New Y sleeper and passed
through Baltimore ed and ar
rived in Washingto

party proceeded to the capitol. In or
der to avoid threatened violence the
president and president elect in their
marriage were preceded by a company
of infantry, double files of the Dis
trict cavalry on either side and in
tantry and other military organiza
tions following. In the long proces

presenting the constitution and the

The civil war was in progress when

of the war everywhere, and gloom
and sadness covered the whole land.
The president went to the capitol ear

rade marched down without him. The
procession, however, was noteworthy.
