The following is the full text of President Wilson's speech to Con gress: Mr. Speaker, Mr, President, Gentle men of the Congress: It Is under the compulsion of what seems to me a clear and imperative duty that 1 have a second time this session sought the privilege of ad dressing you in person. I know of course, that the heated season of the years is upon us, that work in these chambers and in the committee rooms la likely to become a burden as the season lengthens, add that every consideration of personal con venience and personal comfort, per haps. in the cases of some of us, con siderations of personal health even, dictate an early conclusion of the de liberations of the session; but there are occasions of public duty when these things which touch us private ly seem very small, when the work to be done is so pressing and so fraught with high consequence that we know that we are no* at liberty to walgh agalnct it any point of person al aactiflc© We are now In the pres •oca of suck an ocooaion. It is abso lutely imperative that we should glv* the business men of this country 4 banking and currency system b> means of which they ran make u*e of th« freedom of enterprise and of Individual initiative which we are about to bee Low upon them We are about to eet them free wr moat not leave them without the tools of action whsn they art free We ars abowi to set them free by re Bovlag the trammels of the protsr tlvs tariff Kver since the Civil War they ha vs wsitsd for this emaacips tlos and for tbs frss opportunities It will bring with It. It has been rs- asrvsd for as to give It to them borne fell In love. Indeed, with tbe •lotbfal asrsrlty of their depesdeacs ■ pon tbs government, some took ad vantage of tbe shelter of tbs nursery to set up a mimic mastery of their own wlthta Its walls Now both the tosle and the discipline of liberty and maturity ars to eneue There will be some readJuetmente of pur poae and point of view There sill follow n period of eipaneton and new enterprise, freshly conceived It u for as to determine now shether It ahail bs rapid and facile and of easy ac^oapllahmeat This It can not be nale^ the resourceful business men who are to deal with the new rlrrum stances ars to have at hand aad ready for nee the tastrumeatnlltlea and convenlsaces of free enterprise which Independent men need when acting on their own initiative It Is not enough to strike the shackles from business The duty of statssmanshlp Is not negative mere ly It Is constructive also Ws must show that *r understand what business needs and that we know how to supply It No man. however casual and superclal his observation of the conditions now prevailing In the country, can fall to see that one of the chief things busin*** nee.Is now, and will need Increasingly as It gains In scope and vigor In the years Immediately ahead of us. is the prop er means by which readily to vitalize fts credit, corporate and Individual, and Its originative brains. What will It profit us to he free if we are not to have the best and most accessible Instrumentalities of commerce and enterprise? What will it profit us to be quit of one kind of monopoly if we are to remain In the grip of an other and more effective kind? How are we to gain and keep the confi dence of the business community un leas we show how both to aid and to protect it? What shall we say if we make fresh enterprise necessary and also make it very difficult by leaving all else except the tariff just as we found It? The ti’r^nqies of business, big and little, lie within the field of credit. We know that. Shall we not act upon the knowledge? Do we not know how to act upon it? If a man can not make his assets available at pleasure, his assets of capacity and character and resource, what satis faction Is It to him to see opportuni ty beckoning to him on every hand, when others have the keys of credit in their pockets and treat them as all but their own private possessions? It is perfectly clear that It is our duty to supply the new banking and cur rency system the country needs, and that It will immediately need it more than ever. The only question Is, When shall w© supply it—now*, or later, after the demands shall have become re proaches that we were so dull and so alow? Shall we haaten to change the tariff lawa and then be laggards about making it possible and easy for tbs country to take advantage of Urn change? There can be only one aaewer to that qoeetion We meat WITHIHtAWAL OF MILITIA AID NT AN I >8. Our Delegation In Congress Expresses Regret at Htate of Affairs But Can Not Help It. Tbe withdrawal of financial aid to South Carolina State troops has el'c- ited expressions of regret. Among the members of the South Carolina delegation in congress Wednesday, the greatest regret was expressed when the existing condition of affairs became thoroughly known. Senator Smith said it was almost inconceiv able. Senator Tillman, when asked if he had anything to say regarding the matter, replied that as he saw it there was nothing he could do to up set the orders of the war department, but he would be willing to do what ever might be possible if he should be requested to act by responsible par ties In South Carolina. "I shall probably have something to say regarding this matter,” Sena tor Tillman said, when queried about the situation, “but until some one makes complaint to me, or I have something to work upon, there is nothing I can do.” If the members of the different companies affected by the determina tion of the war department to lend no further assistance, which virtually means that the command must be dls- banded-unless the legislature sees fit to appropriate, take the matter up with the South Carolina delegation in congresa, it la barely possible that something might be done, provided that the governor shows a disposition to receive further government aid t'nless thla Is done, however, there la ^uf the remotest chance that the troops will be placed In their former position and be allowed to have the aame help they have had be'ore the det taion of the war department was announced The far* *hat many of the oldest command# In the State some of which date hack manv years are to he denied further financial a*atatance from tbe government, for reaaon* now already known Is regretted not only by the members of the South Carolina delegation bv former South Tarolinlana resident In Washington and by war department offirlala but by all who are conversant with the facts tn ths c PRESIDENT VILSIlN SPEAKS TO TIE CONGRESS.

Although shorn of some of the novelty that attended his first ap pearance, when he upset presidential traditions of more than a century Monday's visit of the president V> congTVss took on a deeper signifi cance. On his first visit he deliver ed a message, long-anticipated, urg ing the carrying out of the party's pledges for immediate revision of the tariff. His address Monday was an appeal to every member of the House and Senate to lav aside personal consid eratlona an.V sacrifice comfort and even health, if necessary, to secure at once a revision and reform of the national hanking system Only in that wav. he declared, could the country secure the benefits of the tariff revision soon to woeptet.-.l It Is perfectly clear t'.ii it is our dutv • r supply the n- ■* •> .. t nr and currency ■ywtem the country needs, and that it will immedlate!\ need It more than ever/' s.vl I I're* dent Wilson Shall w •• t vet e n to I'hangc our tariff laws and thru be lavi art* shout making It possible an I easy for ' h.» roun"y to ’ake * ; l* »nf*te of the change' There ran be o n! v one answrer to that nue*tton 1 V. e n uat ar* now at whatever •#> r! r re to OU rwel V r* The vigor and streng’h of h • . *hort n.ewasge hel l rlgi.1 attention I "f hi* large audience throughout It* delivery \* on hi* fir*t appearance before rongrees the .hamber » a» filied w|*h •enat. rw an 1 r**( re*rnta live* galleries were crowded w th ' - - * «e w | r 1.m.r« Klllevl TesrHsr ami l‘«p<la.

Our banking laws must mobil ize reserves: must not permit the concentration anywhere in a few hands of the monetary resources of the country or their use for specula tive purposes in such volume as to hinder or Impede or stand In the way of other more legitimate, more fruit ful uses. And the control of the sys tem of banking and of issue which our new laws are to set up must be public, not private, must be vested In the government itself, bo that the banks may be the instruments, not the masters, of business and of Indi vidual enterprise and Initiative. The committees of the congress to which legislation of this character is referred have devoted careful and dispassionate study to the means of accomplishing these objects. They have honored me by oonsdlting me. They are ready to suggest action.

Not a stir from the audience interrupted. At 1:10 o'clock the President had flnlshe^ reading his address and left the House chamber. It had taken the President a little more than nine minutes to read his address, and its conclusion was greet ed by a round of applause. As the President left the chamber he shook hands with Speaker Clark and Vice- President Marshall. The Speaker dismissed the joint session and the Senators filed out to return to their own chamber. If there Is any virtue In the old saying that it is a safe rule to do what your enemies advise you not to do, the Democrats in Congress should rush the tariff and currency bills through as soon as possible. The Re publicans claim that the passage of these bills will put the Democracy out of commission, and pathetically warns the party of its direful fate. If the Democrats in Congress push their currency bill through In the same style that the tariff legislation has gone thus far the extra session of this year will go down as one of the most famous In recent years Upon Its labors the success or fail- ore of ths Democratic party depends Federal support of the National Guard of South Carolina, amounting to about >70,000 a year, was with drawn Tuesday by the war depart ment because of “the attitude of the governor toward enforcement of fed eral militia law”.

In such matters custom slowly and painfully finds solutions that written statutes fail to provide. To think that race prejudices could be wiped out at one stroke by- legislation was the foolish dream of fanatical haters qf the white people of the South like Sumner, Stevens and others. What they really accom plished was to intensify prejudices to the disadvantage oS the negro. Little by little the Civil Rights act has been whittled away by the courts until to think of it is left, but in the end the negro is better off. The nulify- ing of the Civil Rights T^aw’ by the public ever since it was passed shows the absurdity of such laws. •i »■ ' 1 ■ i, * * | I K 1 mu rd* 7 h- ' -un 1 Ssj* Crief Kn<l in View la U> MaAe Reserve© M4»biie and Money Supply Elaftir- Senator Owen, chairman of the banking and currency committee, is sued a statement at Washington on Saturday explaining the terms of the administration currency bill, which he believes will be enacted into law before the end of September.
