EXTRACT FROM THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

Arbitration of National Disputes. Br a coiicurront resolution, panned bv the Senate Fob. H, 'j:), and by tlie House of'llepresentatlves on the yd of A|»ril following, the President was requested "To invite from time to tfmo. as fit occasions may arise, negotiations with any government with whloh the Hutted htates has or may have diplomat ie relations, to the end that any dilfcrenccs or disputes arising between the two governments which oau not lie adjusted by diplomntio agency inay be referred to uroitratiou and be peaooaply adjusted by such means. "April is, 13:10, the International .American ConforOnco of Washington, by resolution, expressed the wish that all controversies between the republics of Americs and tho nations of Europe might be settled by arbitration, and recommended that the government of each nation represented in that conference chonld communicate this wish to all friendly powers. A favorable response has been received from Great Britain in the shape of a resolution adopted by Parliament .Tuly IB last, v?ew sympathiy.inK with the purpose in

The monetary conference which assembled at Brussels, upon our invitation, was adjourned to the 30th "ay of November in the present Tear. The considerations just stated, and the x&ct chut fi definite proposition from us seemed to be expected upon the re iiBHemhling of the conference, led me to express a willingness to nave the meeting still further postponed Jt seems to me that it would bo wise to give general authority to tho President to Invite other nattons to such a oouferenco at any time wiieu there should be fair prospect of accomplishing an international agreement on the subjeot of ooinage. 1 desire also to earnestly suggest the,wisdom of amending erlstlug statutes in regard to the Issuance of Government bonds. The authority now vested in the Secretary of the Treasury to Issue bonds Is not as clear as it should be, and the bonds authorized are disadvantageous to the Government, both as to the time of their maturity an'd rate of Interest.

National Quarniitliin,

Iho admonitions of tho last two years louohlnjj our public heal oh, and tho demonstrated dauger of the Introduction of contagious diseases from foreign ports has invested the subject of national quarantine with Increased interest. A more general t.nd liarmonous system than now exists, aoting promptly and directly e+erywhero, and constantly operating by preventive me,ins to shield our country from the Invasion ot disease, and at the same time having due regard to the rights and duties of local agencies. would, I believe, add greatly to the safety of our people.

Neither Indian outbreaks uor domestic violence have called tho army into service during the year, and the only aotive military duty required of it has been in the department ot Texas, where violations of tho neutrality MrtW of tho United States and Mealod were pr6mtof4 ly and eftlotently dealt with by the troops, efiffi I lting the warm approval of the civic and' military authorities of both countries. I The adoption of battalion formation for infantry regiments, the strengthening of the I artillery forces, tho abandonment of small and unnecessary posts, and the massing ot the I troops at important and accessible stations, I all promise to piomote the usefulness of the army. In the Judgment of army orticors, with but few exceptions, tiie operation ot tho law forbidding the ro-enlistmem o: uicn after ten years of service has no1 proved its wisdom, and while the arguments that led to its adoption were not without merit, tho experience of the year constrains me to join In the recommendation for its repeal.

I'lirrliu-n of Silver.

The purchases of silver under thelnwof .luly U, IB'Jn, during the lant fiscal year aggregated fi4..0ii8,l()'J..v.» line ounces, which coBt^-s f.'J. Tho total amount of silver purchased from tho time that tax became operative until the repeal of Its purchasing clause on tho 1st day of November, is i3, was ,4G line ounces, which cost $ir!,swiuMi'.m. Between the 1st day ot March. 1873, and the 1st day of November, the Government iiur, nned un- 1 der all laws nf:i,(n»:i,Tl7 line ounces of silver at a cost, of I,' 22,i)4H. The silver dollars that have been coined under the act of July 14, lno, number «.087,VKS. Thesoigniorago arlsingfrom such coinage was Sti.uTT.iius.fti, leaving on hand In the mints 1 •o.fiaojCn fine ounces of silver, which cost .C,73H,'21S.

Our u.tal coinage of all metal* during the last, fiscal year consisted of OT,'/-o,R75 pieoes, valued at i4S,tjH5,17/i.bU, of which there was f.i0.03s,140 in gold coin, $5,S4:i.71.' in silver dollars, f7,217,2J).lW in subsidiary silver coins, and ii.OMi.lOi.W) In minor ooln».

Sixiy-tivo of tho suspended bankn were insolvent, eighty-six resumed business and soven remained in the hands of bank examlnars, with prospects of speedy redumption. Of the new banks organised forty-four were looated in the Eastern States, forty-one west of the Mississippi River, and thlrty-fonr in tho Central and Southern States. The total number of national bauks in existence on tho 31st day of October, lbw, was having an agregate capital of 888.120. The net inorcRse the circulation of these banks during the year was $3G,S8(i,'.»7'2.

The lecent repeal of tlv provision of law requiring the purchase of sliver bullion by the Government as a feattuo of our monetary scheme, has made an entire change In tho complexion of our currency affairs. I do not doubt that the ultimate result of this action will be most salutatory and far -rcauhlng. In the nature of things, however, it is impossible to know at this time precisely what conditions will be brought about by the change, or what, if any, supplementary legislation may. in the light or such conditions, appear to be essential or expedient. Of course, after tho reoent financial porturbation, time is necessary for the re-establishment of business contidcnoe. When, however, through this restored confldcnce, the money which has been frightened Into hoarding-places is returned to trade aud enterprise, a survey of tho situation will prtibibly disclose a safe path leading to a permanently sound currency, abundantly Mitlicieut to meet every requirement of our increasing population and business. In tho pursuit of this object we should resolutely turn away from alluring and temporary expedient a, detotmlned to be content with nothing less than a lasting and comprehensive financial plan. In these circumstances I am convinced that a reasonable delay iu dealing with this subject. Instead of being injurious, Kill Increase tho probability of wise action.

Sea Coasts Defenses.

it is gratifying to note that we have begun to uttain complete results in the comprehensive scheme of sea coast defense and fortification, entered upon eight years ago. At the end of the current calendar year the War Department will have nine rj-inon, twenty lu-lnch and thirty-four K-inoli guns ready to bo mounted on gun-llfts, and carriage, aud seven-ty-five l'J-lnoh mortars. The manufacture of heavy ordnanoe keeps pace with current needs but to render these guns available for the purposes they are designed to raeot, emplacements mnst be prepared for them.

After much preliminary work and much exhaustive examination in accordan io with the requlrenifiiits of the law, the board appointed to select a magazine rifle of modern type with which to replace the obsolete Springfield rifle of the infantry service, oomplete'^lts labors during the last year ^rd too worE of manufacturing is now In progress at the National Armory at Hpringtield. it is confidently expected that by the end of the current year oux lufantiy will be supplied with a weapon equal to that of the most progressive armies of the world.

i'ostofilco Department.

The report of the Postmaster General oon* tains a dctalh-d statement of the operations of the l'ostolllce Department during the last fiscal year nd much Interesting information touching this important branoh of the public service. At a date when better times were anticipated it was es imated by bis predecessor that the deficiency on the .Jitli day of .June, 1WI8, would bo but a little over a million and a half dollars. It amounted, however, to more than five millions. At the same tlmo, and under the Influence of like nntlcip&tions, estimates wero made for the current fiscal year ending June 3', ism, which exhibited a surplns of revenue over expenditures of -7.,54f.71: but now, in view of tho actual receipts and expenditures during that part of tho current fiscal year already expired, the present Postmaster General estimates that at its close, instead of a surplus, there will bo a deficiency ol nearly eight, million dollars. l''orty-two Iree delivery olli.'es were added during the' year to those already existing making a total of Gio oilies and towns pro allied with free delivery on Juno :IO, lKft Ninety-three other cltics aud towns are now •ntltled to this service under the law, but it has not been accorded them on ac fount of insutllclcnt funds to meet the expense of its establishment. 1 am decidedlv of the opiwon that the provisions of the pre.-ent law permit as general an introduction of this feature of mail servico as la uecess.try or justifiable, and that it ought not to be ex-

Nnry Department.

During the past six mopths the demands for praising Tessels have been many and urgent. PrbmsB In the oonstruotlon of new resselk has not been as rapid as was antlclpated. There havo been delays in the compl^tlon of un armored vessels. But for tne most part they have been s%dh as are constantly ooonrrlng even In ooufctrles having the largest experience in naval shlp-bulld-j®(' xfie most serious delays, however, have beta. In the work upon armored ships, The trouble has been the failure of oontractors to deliver armor as agreed. The difficulties soem now, however, to have been all overcome, and armor Is being delivered with satisfactory promptness. The Secretary of the Navy reoommends the authorization of at least one battleship and six torpedo boats. While I am distinctly in favor of cen-

BlsteBtly pu/sulng the polioy we have Inaugurated Of building up a thorough and effluent n*vy, I oan not refrain from the suggestion, that the COE.STOBS should oarerully take into aooount the number of unfinished veeeele on our hands and the depleted condition Of our Treasury'appro prii

Treasury In ooniuderfng the preprlaty of an lation at this time to Begin new work. On the Pension Holla.

On the 90th day of June, 1893, there on the orei ro

the pension rolls 906,fill names, un tnease of 89.944 over the nuoiser on the lis June So, 18W. Of these tLerd were revolutionary ie war of I8ii

IT widows and daughters soldiers, 66 eurvlvors of 6,426 widows of soldiers of that war, 11,818 survivors and widows of the Mexican war, 3,882 survivors and widows of Imdlan wars, 344 army nurses, and 4TS.646 survivors ana widows and children of deceitsed soMluu and sailors of the war of the rebellion. The latter number represents those pensioned on acoocnt ot disabilities or death resulting from army and navy ssrvlqp. The to umber of persons remaining on tne rolls June 80, 1893, who were pensioned under the aot of June ST, J89o, whloh allows pensions on aooount of death and disability not ohargeable to any service was 4*9085. The number added to the rolls during the year was 138,M4 and the number dropped was 81,690. Tl^e flrst paythe year 'his lfisludea arstween the time crom wmon tne allowance of the pension dates and the time of actually granting the certificate. Although tho law of1!»0permits pensions for disabilities not related to military srr-

ments on pensions allowed dm amounted to $33,766,816.98. This lkelud rears or the accumulation between tni from whloh the allowance of the

suoh a degree as to render them unable to earn a support." The execution of this law in its early stages does not seem to have been in aocord with Its true intention but toward the olose of the last administration an authoritative construction was glveu to the statute, and sinee that time this construction has been followed. This has had the effect of limiting the operations of the law to its intended purpose.

The disoorery having been made that many names have been put upon the penalou roll by means of wholesale and glgantlo frauds, the Commissioner suspended payments upon a number of pensions whleh seemed to be fraudulent or unauthorised pending a complete examination, riving notloe to the pensioners In order that they might have aa opportunity to establish, If possible, the Justice of tnelt claims, notwithstanding apparent Invalidity This, I understand, Is the practise whloh has for a long time prevailed In the Pentfion Bureau. But after eateries HJHB these meeut investigations, the Commissioner modified this rule so as not to allow, until after oomplete examination, interference with the payment of a pension apparently not altogether void, but whloh merely had been fixed at a rate higher than that authorized by law. 1 am unable to 'understaad why frauds in the pension rolls should not be expoeed and oorrtoted with thoroughness and vigor. Every name fraudulently put upon these rolls is a wicked imposition upon the kinflly sentiment iu which pensions have their origin. ffiVWy fradulent pensioner lias become a bad olttaen every false oath lu support of a pon-

_JMT6y. out of the

patriotic sentiment which the survivors of a war, fought tor the preservation of the Union, ought to inspire. Thousands of neighborhoods have their well-known fraudulent

least wrong done Is to tirr.vo and deserving pensioners, who certainly ought not to be condemned to suoh association. Those who attempt. in the line of duty, to rectify these wrongs, should not be accused of enmity or .indifference to tho olalms ol'honest veterans. Tho sum expended on account, of pensions for the year ending June 31), lS'.Ki, was iise,.40,407.14. The Commissioner estimates that tl6", 00,WH) will be required to pay pensions during the year ending ,luue, 30. inyt.

Indians and Their Fate.

1 am sun: that secular education and mora! and religious teaching must be Important factors in any effort to save the Indian and load hun to civilization. I believe, too. that the relinquishment of tribal relations and the holding of land in severalty may, iu favorable conditions, aid tins consummation. It seems to me, however, that allotments of land In severalty ought to be made with great oare and circumspection. If hastily done, before the Indian knows Its meaning, while yet he has little or no idea of tilling a farm and no conception of thrift, there is great danger that a reservation life in tiibal relations may bo exchanged for tho pauperism of civilization, instead of its independence aud elevation. Tho solution of the 1 ndlan problem depends very largely upon good administration. The personal fitness of agents and their adaptability to tho peculiarities of caring tor their wards is of the utmost importance. There is danger of great abuseB creeping into the prosecution of claims for Indian depredations, and I recommend that every possible safeguard be provided against the enforcement of unjust and fictitious claims of this description. 'I he Public Domain.

The vast area of land which but a short time ago constituted the public domain Is apidly falling into private hands. It is certain that in the transfer the beneficent purpose of tne Government to supply from its domain homes to the Industrious and worthy homeseekers is often frustrated. I oonour with the Secretary in the belief that these outrages oan not be entiroly prevented without a change In the laws on the subject, and 1 hope Ills lccommendatlons iu that direction will bo favorably considered. 1 especially commend to tho attention of the Congress tho statements contained in the Secretary's r« rt concerning fore?try.

Ki-purtmeiit of Agriculture.

The report of the Secretary of Agrioulture will be found exceedingly Interesting. During the first quarter of ihe prment year the expenses of the department aggrega: ed f«5,H7(i.76 ai against $IOi,01V.4i tor the corresponding period of the fincal year ending .lune so, l.v.:i. Tho Secretary makes apparent his intention to continue this rate of reduction !iy submitting estimates for the next flecil year less by t.u4,-.'8o than those for the pre nt year. The regulations of ]8!2 concerning xas fever have been enforced during the last year. While contagious pleuro-pneun:oti,a lu cattle has I,e eradicated ami animal tuberculosis—a disease widespread and more dangerous to human lifo than pleuro-pneu-inonia—is still prevalent, Investigations have been made during the past year as to the means of its communication and the method of its oorreot- e.'agnosia. Much progress has been made in tills direction by the studies of the division of animal pathology, but the work ought to be extended In co-operation with local authorities, until the danger to liuinnn life arising from this oiiuse is reduced to a min imum. 1 join the Secretary in recommending that iiCjeafter each applicant for the position of Inspector or Assistant lrispectoriii the Bureau of Animal Industry be required, as condition precedent to his appointment, to exhibit to the United Slates Civil Sorvice Commission his mploina from an established, regular and reputable veterinary college, and that tills be supplemented br such an examination In vet-

Time to Cat Appropriations. Heonomy in publlo expenditures is a duty cannot pe innocently neglected by lntrnstea r"1, —•—1

At this time when a depleted publlo Treasury confronts us, when msay of our people are sag aged In a hard struggle for the necessaries of life, and when enforced soouomy is pressing utr" ooqpttymen. desire to urge, with all the my ocrmmand, that Connessional legislation be so limited by sudk strict eoonomy as to exhibit an appteolation of the oondltlon of the treasury and a *ympethr with the stralteaed olroumstanoes of our leupw-eitlseos. The duty oipubllo eoonomr Is also ot Immense lmportanoe In its intimate and neoessary relation to the task now In hand, of providing revenue to meet coveromenUl expenditures and yet reduotng the people's burden of Federal taxation.

Tariff Reform.

After a hard struggle, tariff reform is directly before us. Nothing so Important olaims our attention, and nothing so dearly present* ^3* ilf as both an opportunity and a duty—ib opportunity to deserve the gratitude or eur illov fellow-cltisens, us by our

a duty Imposed upon oft-repeated ptofeseMM

and by the emphatlo mandate of the people. Aftar lull dlcooealoa our countryman hiTt spoke lu favor of this reform, and they have eonflded the work of Its accomplishment to the Stands of those who are solemnly pledged to It. If there Is anything in the theory of a representation In public places of the people their desirec, If public really the servants of the peoplo, and political promises and professions liave any hlnd-

er* are

Ing force, our failure to give the Belief so long awaited will be sheer recreancy. Nothing should laterveno to distract our attention or disturb our effort until this reform Is accomplished by wise and careful legislation. While we should stouohly adhere to the nrlnolplo that only the neoeaatty of revenue justifies the Impost felon of tails duties and other Pedoial taxation, and that they should be limited by strlot economy, we aan not (dose our eyes to the faot that conditions have grown which, injuatnsss and fairuesa, oallfordls•rimlnatlng oare In the Otecriinlnation of such duties and taxation as the cmegencies ot our fiovernmeob acta ally demand.

Manifestly, It we ar« to aid tho people directly throvgh tariff reform, one

its

moet obvious features should be a teduotlon In present tariff ohantes upon the necessaries

life. The benefits of such a re

duction would be palpable end substantial, seen and felt by thousands who would be better fod, and better clothed, and better sheltered. These gifts should be tho willing benefactions of a Government whoiie highest fanotlon ui the promotion of the welfare of the toople.

Not less closely related to our people's prosperity aud well-being ie tho removal or restrictions npon the importations of the raw materials necessary to our manufacturers. Tho world should be open to our national Ingenuity and enterprise. This oan not be while Federal legis. lation, through the Imposition of high tariff, forbids to AmerioRn manufacturers as cheap materials as those used by their competitors. It is quite obvious tiiat the enhancement of the price ot our manufactured products, resulting from this polioy, not only oonilnes tho igarket for these products within our own borders, to the dlroct disadvantage of onr manufacturers, but also Increases their cost to our oltisens. The interests of lftbor sre certainly^ though indirectly, involved )u this feature of our tariff system. The sharp competition aud aotive struggle among our manufacturers to supply the limited demand for their goods, soon fill the narrow market to which they are oonlined. Then follows a suspension of work In the mills and factories, ft discharge of employes, and distress In the homes of our workingmen. liven it ilie often disproved assertion could be made good that a lower rate of wages would result from free raw materials and low tariff duties, the intelligence of our workingmen leads them quickly to disoover that their rteady employment, permitted by free raw materials, is the most important factor in thrlr relation to tariff legislation.

A measure has been prepared by the appropriate Congressional committee embodying tariff reform on the linos heroin suggested which will be promptly submittod for legislative action, it is the result ot much patriotic and unselfish work, and I believe it deals with its subject consistently and as thoroughly as existing conditions permit. 1 am satisfied that the reduced tariff duties provided for iu tht proposed legislation, added to the existing internal-revenue taxation, will, In the noar future, though porhaps not Immediately, produco sufficient revenuot.o meet the needs of tho Government.

Additional Internal Jtcvfimc TaxesThe oommittee after full consideration, and to provide against a temporary deficiency whl .ii may exist before the business of the oountry adjusts Itself to the new tariff schedules. have wisely embraced In their plan a few additional Internal revenue taxos, including a small tax upon incomes derived from certain corporate Investments. These new assessments are not only absolutely just and easily borne but they have the further merit of being such as oan be remitted without unfavorable business disturbance whenever tho necessity ot the Imposition no longer exist*. In my gnat desire for the success of this measure I can not restrain the suggestion that its success oan only be attained by means of unselfish counsel on the part ot the friends of tariff reform, and as a result of their willingness to subordinate nersonal desires and ambitions to the general good. The local interests affected bv the proposed reform are so numerous and so varied that if all aro insisted upon the legislation embodying the reform mnst inevitably fail.

In conclusion, my intense teelmgof respons ibllity Impels mo to invoke for the manifold interests of a generous and confiding people tho most scrupulous care, and to pledge mv willing support to every legislative effort for tho advancement of the greatness and prosperity of our beloved oountry.
