proper took place from tho east portl
ro of the Oaplel, where such ceremo
fiieu have,been hold since the days of
tetter son.
The weather was warm and cloudy
uid tho crowd was Immen.e.
Promptly at 10:80 President McKin

4)1 bay liortfi, staratcd from the White
House to tho eapltol. Ou his left sat
'/ourtor Manna. In the front se;>t fac
ing MoKinley and littulia sat. Kcprc
teut-tives Cannon and McRae.
The President's escort consisted of
brand Army veetrans. Troop "A" of
?Cleveland, his personal est oi l, all on
magnificent coal black hordes and reg
ular troops of the various branches of
the service. The escort- to the eapltol
was purely military except the veter
ans.
The President, after being adminis
tered the oath by Chief Justice Fuller,
delivered his inaugural address in a
clear, distinct tone but hin,words could
bo heard by only a handful of the vast
assemblage spread out before him.
The President said:
My Fellow Citizens:?When we hh
i-^mbled here en 4th of March. 1X97,
U sre Was groat anxie.y with regard to
' ep "r'ney and Credit.
None exists now. Then the Treasury
receipts were inadequate to meet t'ae
current obligations of the government.
Now they are sufficient for all pu >!ic
Jiee-di, and we h ive a surplus ins.oa l
o{ a deficit. Then 1 felt constrained
to convene Congress in oxtraortilea y
f?o=i3if>n >to devise revenue to pay tlu
ordinary expen^ss cf the govcrnme.it.
Now I have .1 lie J?.rt!sfai;tlon to an
nour.'ce that the Congress, Ju.vl do el
bars roduced taxation In the sum of
forty-one millions of dollar*.
Then there was tlerp ??>'Ic1'tudc be
cause >of the long depression in manu
facturing minting, agricultural and
mercantile Industries and a consequent
distress of our laboring population.
Now every avenue of' production 1 ?>
crowded with activity, libor is well
employed and Amor loin products find
good markets at'home and abroad.
Our diversified productions, however,
are Increasing in such unprecedented
volume as to adifaonleh its cf tlfc i:e
ceasily of still further enlarging for
e:gn markets by broader oanimo.cial
relations. For th<* purpose reciprocal
trade arrangements with other ua
tlons should in liberal spirit be care
fully cultivated ajid promoted.
' The national verdict of 1S:?C ha.*
for the most been executed. Whatever
remains unfilled is a continuing obli
gation resting with undiminished force
upon the executive and Congress. But
unfortunate as our condition la, its per
manence can only be assured by sound
bnstne:--fl methods and strict economy
In national administration and legis
lation.
We should not permit our great
prosperity to lead us to reckless ven
tures tn business or profligacy m pub
lic expenditures. While Congress de
termines objections and the sum of
appropriations, officials of the execu
tive departments are responsible frr
honest and faithful disbursement, and
It sh</uld l>e the conFt.ant care to avoid
waste and extravagance. Honesty, ca
pacity, and Industry are no where more
Indlsponslble than iii publL employ
ment.
These should be tho fundamental re
qulsits to original appointment and the ,
surest guarantees against removal.
OUR WAIt WITH SPAIN.
Four years ago wo stood on the
brink of war without the people know
ing it nod without any preparation or
effort at preparlton for Impending per
il. I did all that in honor could he done
to avert war but-without avail. It be
cam* inevit^Olac and Congress, at Its
first T*KV*(r session, without party de
vtwt)6?'pfi?vlded money in anticipation
of the crisis and' In preparation"to
meet It," /
It ca*pe. The result was signally fa
vorable to American arms, and In the
degree honorable to t)e .gov
ernment. It Imposed upon -oajabliga
4jpo4 from which we can rw^t cv-*pe

I those who voluntarily cumuiltteo, to
' me the trust impost*! upon the Chiet

me gi'-nero\!*i support in my duties to
: "preserve, protect and defend the con
i KitutIon of tho United States" and to
j "care thirt laws be faithfully executed."
STRONG 11 ISA UTS NEEDED.
! Strong hearts and helpful hands are
j U'E'Wlcd, r.'iid fortunately, we have them
in every part of our beloved country.
! We aro re-united. Sectionalism has dis
j, appeared.
Division on public questions can no
lonfter Lc tractd ivy the war maps of
j 18G1, These old difuveneos less and
less disturb the Judgment. KxUting
; pioblem* demand the thought anil
j quickvn the conscience of ''he country,
' and responsibility 'lor their presence
| as well as for their righteous settle
I mcnt, rests upon all, no more upon
I nw than upon you. There are some na
|'tional questions in solution of which
1 patriotWrff should exclude partisanship.
! Magnifying their difficulties will not
i take them off our hands nor facilitate
j their adjustment. Distrust of the ea.
' parity, integrity, and high purposes of
| the American peoaple will not be In
spiring them for future political con
! tCits. Dark p'h'tures and gloomy forc
! hodings are worse than useless.
These only becloud, they do not
! help to point the way of safety and
j honor. "Hope mako <thee ,uot ashani
| cd."
Drophots of evil were not builders of
I the republic, nor in its crises since,
have they saved or served It. The faith
[ of the fathers was a mighty force in
? its creation, and the faith of their de
j scc-ndaiKs has wrought i.t.s progress
and furnished its defenders. They are
obstructionists who despair and who
f would destroy confidence in the ability
of our people to solve, wisely and for
j virilization, the mighty problems rout
ing upon them.
Our institutions will not deterioate
i by extension, and our son?s of justice
will not abate under tropic suns In dis
tant seas.
As heretofore, so hereafter will the
| nation demonstrate its fltnesn to ad
i minv.-(!er any new eslate which events
J devolve upon it. and In tho fear of God
j will "take occasion by the hand and
make bounds of freedom wider yield."
j If ??there are those- among us who
! would make our way more difficult, we
; must not be disheartened, but more
earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task
upon which we have rightly entered.
Wo will be consoled, with the fact
that opposition has confronted ever>
onward movement of the Republic froni
its opening hour until now, but with
out success. The llcpublic has marched
on and on, and Its every stop has ex
alted freedom and hiftivanity. We are
undergoing the same ordeal as did otti
predecessors nearly a century ago. We
are following the course they blazed.
They triumphed. Will their successors
falter, and plead organic invpotetficy in
the nation? We adhere to the principle
of equality among ourselves, and by
no net of ours will we assign to our
selves a subordinate ran In the family
of nations.
My fellow ckl/ens, the public events
of the past four years have gojje Into
history. The part which the Unitod
States lK>re so honorably In the thrill
ing scenes In China, while new to
Amerlcn lalfo, has been in harmony
j with its spirit and be^it traditions, and
I In dealing with results its policy will
I be that of moderation and fairness.
I CUI1AN RELATIONS.
We face. a.t this moment, the most
j Irr.tportun't question?that of future re
j Unions of the United States and Cuba.
| With our near neighbors we must re
hrnain cle>se friends.
; The declaration of purposes of this '
government in the resolution of April j
I JOth, 1898, mnet bo made grood. Ever
since the evacuation of the Island by
the army of Spain the Executive with
all practicable sixyd has bwn assisting
the people, In successive steps neces
sary to establish a free and Indcpond
hiu government, prepared to assume
and perform the obligations of Inter
national law which nod rests upon the
United States, under the treaty of
Paris. The convention elected by the
people to frame a constitution is ap
proaching the completion if Its labors.

j the sew government, of *ucfy great im
portance, Inrotolng an obHritfrm re

I those who havoV raised their ai rtis
! against the government, for honorable
submission to Its frtjthority.
j Our countrymen Should not be de
eeived. We are not Paging war against
| inhabitants of the Philippine Islands,
i A portion of them are making war
| against the United States. Hy far the j
greater part of the Inhabitants recog
nizo American sovereignty and , wel
come It as -a guaranty or order and of
security for life. property, liberty, free
dom of con6cienv-e, and the pursuit of
happiness.
Fl'IiL "PROTECTION." ?T
To them full protection will be given.
They shall not be abandoned. We will !
! not leave tho destinty of the loyal mil- I
1 lions in the?e Islands to the. disloyal
thousands, who are In relwlion against ,
tho United States. Order ^under civil 1
institutions will come as soon as those I
who now break tho peace shall keep
it. Force will not be needed or used I
when those wlii> make war against us j
shall make it no more. ;
May it end without further bloodshed j
and .there be inhered in the reign of j
peace to be made permanent by a gov- ;
eminent of liberty under law.
The Vlee President, said:
"The history or -free government is 1
in large part the history of these leg- j
isltiave bodies, in which, from our j
earl vest times, free government has
found Its loftiest expression. They
must ever hold a peculiar and exalt
ed position In the record which telle
how great the nations of the \>orld have j
endeavored to achieve and preserve ?
orderly freedom. Nq. man can render
to his fellows greater service than is i
tendered by him, who, with fearless
lees and honesty, with sanity and dis
interestedness, does his life work as a
member of such a body. Especially Is
this the case when the legislature in
which the service is rendered ,is a vl- j
tal part in tho Government machinery j
of one of those world?powers U>
whose hands in the course of the ages, |
i3 entrusted a leading part In.shaping;
the destinies of mankind. For Veal or :
for vt'm\ for good or for evil,/ this is
true or our mighty nation. /
Great privileges and great lowers are j
oiiVh, and heavy nrfi the re.spe*nslbilltiex
that go with those privileges (and <hese ,
powers. Accordingly as we dO well or
111, so shall mankind in the futUfe, be j
raised or cast down. We belong to a ;
young nation, already of giant
strength, yet whose present strength Iv
but a forecast of tho power that is to
come. We stand supreme in a conti
nent. in a hemisphere. EJaet and West
we look across tho two great otveitns
toward the large world life in which
whether we will or not,wc must take an
ever increasing share. And as, keein
eyed, wo gaze .Into the coming years,
duties, now and old, rise thick and fast
to confront us from within and from
without. There is every reason why we
should face these duties with a sobei
appreciation alike of their importance
and of their difficulty. But th?r* *s also
every reason for facing them with high
hearted resolution and eager and confi
dent faith in our capacity to <19 them
