Woodrow Wilson First Inaugural:
There has been a change of government. The House of Representatives, the senate, the
President and Vice-President are all democrats.
What does this mean ? The nation
seeks to use the Democratic Party to change itself.
In many ways life is great, especially in material aspects,
in its body of wealth and the industries conceived and built. But with riches have come inexcusable
waste. We have not stopped to conserve
the exceeding bounty of nature, nor to count the human cost. Government has too often been used for
private and selfish purposes.
Our duty is to correct the evil without imparting the
good. Our work is a work of
restoration. The chief items to be
altered are:
- Tariffs
- Banking and currency system
- Industry
- Agriculture
- Watercourses undeveloped, waste places unreclaimed,
forests unattended
- Waste heaps at every mine
The government must also focus on sanitary laws, pure food
laws, and labor laws.
We will make changes in a step by step process from where we
are to where we want to be.
This Is a day of dedication ! I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all
forward-looking men, to my side !
