Hhoee in anms agaainst Spanish sovereignity. TURKISH SITUATION.

Occurrences in Turkey have continued to excite concern. The reported masaares of Christians in Armenia and •the development there and in other dis--tniicts of fanatic hostility to Christian influences naturally excited apprehension for the safety of the devoted men and women who, as dependents of the .foreign missionary societies in the United States, reside in Turkey under -the guarantee of law and usage and in the legitimate performance of their educational and religious mission. No efforts have been spared in their behalf, and their protection in person and property has been earnestly and vigorously enforced by every means within our power.

In vierw of the growth of our interests in foreign countries and encouraging prospects for a general expansion of our commerce, the question of an improvement in the

CONSULAR SERVICE

Has increased in importance and urgency. Though there is no doubt that the great body of consular officers are Tc-ndering valuable services to the trade and industries of the country, the need OL some plan of appointment and control which would tend to secure higher average of efficiency can not be denied. The importance of the subject has led th? executive to consider what steps nuefht properly be taken without additional legislation, to answer the need of a better system of consular appointments. The matter having been committed to the consideration of the secretary of state in pursuance of his recommendations. an executive order was issued on the 20th of September, !S9i5. fov the terms of which it is provided that after that date any vacancy in a consulate oi commercial agency wuh an annual salary or compensation from official fees of not more than $2500 or less than $li)00 should be filled either b\ transfer or promotion from some oilier position under the state department.

N_-\T -X A PJ N A XC E S. As we turn from the review of our foreign relations to the contemplation ot our national lniancnal situation we are immediately aware that we approach a subject ot do-mesac concern more important tnan iinv ULIU': L.KU :i engage our attention, and one at present in sucn a perplcxiag an-u dekc.i.:e predicament as to require prompt •a.nd wu.se treatment, we may well be encouraged to earnest effort in this direction when we recall tne steps alToady taken toward improving our twnounK and fina-ivc.a.l situation, and -W•• MI we appreciate how wvll une way Jv.is been prepared tor furtner progress by an arousad a.ntl inteihyeiil pop alar iti'tc-rest in the subjects.

The currency denominated United K-'tates notes, and commonly known as greenbacks, was issued in large volume during the late civil war and was intended originally to nieet the exigencies of 'that period.

'Shis law further provided «:hat "a and alter ...lie 1st dav of January, 1S7!), itlie 1 nited States not°s then outstanding should Ijp redeem-d in coin, and in order 'to provide and ppf-«:arr- fc«r such redemption the secretary

the treasury was authorized not

vnly to use any surplus revenues of *ie government, but to issue bonds of the United States and dispose of them -for coin, and to use the proceeds for the purposes contemplated by the statute.

Tlvr-re has been issued and sold $93,500,000 of the bonds authorized by the resumption act oi 1.S75, the proceeeds of •which, toigether with other gold in the Ire-'iiury, created a gold fund deemed jrafficlen.t to meet the demands which might be made upon it. for the redemption of the outstanding United States notes. This fund, together with other gold as might be from time to -time the treasury 'available for the eajne purpose, has been sunce called our gold reserve, and $100,000,000 has been •regarded as a,n adequate amount to accomplish its object. This fund amounted on the first day of January, 1897, to 3114,1!?",360, a/nd though thereafter con«t*mtly fiuctating it did not fall below -that sum in July, 1892. In April, 1S93, •Cor the first time since its establir/hznent. this reserve amounted to less •fJixti $100,0u0,000. containing at that #ate only $97,011,330. la the meantime, and! in July, 1890,

an act had been passed directing larger governmental monthly purchases of silver than has been required under previous laws, and providing that in payment for such silver treasury notes of the United States should be issued payable on demand in gold or silver coin at the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. It was, however, declared in the act to be "the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio, or suh ratio as may be provided by law."

In view of this declaration it was not deemed permissilble for the secretary of the treasury to exercise the discretion in terms conferred on him by refusing to pay gold on these notes when demanded, because by such discrimination in favor of the gold dollar the so-called parity of the two metals would be destroyed and grave and dangerous consequences would be precipitated by affirming or accentuating the constantly widening disparity between thetir actual values under the existing rates.

It thus resulted tihiat the treasury notes issued payment of silver purchases under the law of 1890 we-re necessarily treated as gold obligations at the option of fhe holder. These notes on the last day of November, 1893, when the law compelling the monthly purchase of silver was repealed, amounted to more than $155,000,000. The notes of this description now outstanding, added to Che United States notes stiUl unduminisihed by redemption or cancellation, constitute a column of gold obligations amounting to $500,000,000. These obligations are the instruments which ever since we have hiad a gold reserve have been used to deplete -it.

Fifty millions of these bonds were sold, yielding $58,633,295, which was added to the reserve fund of gold then on hand. As a result of this operation this reserve, which had suffered constant and large withdrawals in the meantime, stood on the 0th day of March, 1894, at the sum of $107,446,8f2. Its depletion was, however, immediately thereafter so accelerated that on the 30th day of June, 1894, it had fallen to $64,873,025, thus losing by withdrawals more than $-12,000,000 in five months and dropping slightly below its situation when the sale of $50,000,000 in bonds was effected for its replenishment.

This depressed condition grew worse and on the 24th day of November, 1S94, our gold reserve, being reduced to $57,669,701, it became necessary to again strengthen it. This was done by another sale of bonds, amounting to $50,000.000, from which there was realized $58.538,500, with which the fund was increased to $111,142,021 on the 4tli day of December. 1894.

Again disappointment awaited the anxious hope for relief. There was not even a. luil in the exasperating withdrawals of gold. On the contrary, they grew larger and more persistent than ever, between the 4th day ol December. lbt'-l. and early February, 1895, a period or scarcely more than two months alter tne second reinforcement of our gold reserve by the sale ot bonds, it had lost by such withdrawals more than $69,000,000, and had fallen to §41.340.1 SI.

In this emergency and in view of its suTi ouaU.nig .perplexities, it became entirely apparent to those upon whom the struggle for safety was -devolved not only that our gold reserve must for the tihird tiime in less than thirteen months be restored by another issue and sale of bonds bearing a -high rate of interest and badly suntcd to the j-'.r-puije. but that a plan must be adopted for their disposition, promising better results than ..hose realized on previous sales. An agreement was, therefore, made wtth a number of linanciers and bankers wihereby it was stipulated that bonds described in the resumption act of 1875, payable in coin tnirty years alt?r th?vr date, bearing interest a»t the rate of 4 per c-^nt. per annum and amounting to about $62,000,000, should be exenanged for gold, receivable by weigiit. amounting to a little more than SG.",.000,000.

Thus gold was to be delivered in such installments a® would complete its delivery wihim about six months from Uid date or the contract, and at least one-na.!f of the amount uras to be furnished ro-m abroad. It was also agreed by those supplying: this gold iihat during the continuance of tne contract thev would bv every means i-n power protect tire government against s:old v.-'.th'Iray.-als. T'iie contract also provided that it congress would autnonze their issue, bonds payable bv tineir terms in sold a-nd bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum muvnt wtitnm ten days be substituted at par for the 4 per cent, bonds described in the agreement.

On the day tins contract was made its terms were communicated to congress by special executive message, in which it was stated that more than sixteen millions of dollars would be saved to the government if gold bonds bearing 3 per cent, interest were authorized to be substituted for those mentioned in the contract. The congress having declined to grant the necessary authority to secure this saving, the contract, unmodified, was carried out. resulting in a

Gold

reserve

amounting to $107,")77,L'30 on the Sih day oi July, JS!-. The performance ot this contract not only restored the -eserve. but checked for a time the withdrawals

gold and brought on a

period of restored confidence and such peace and quiet business circles as were ot the greatest possible value to every interest that a fleets our people.

I have never had the slightest misgivmg concerning the wisdom or propriety of this arrangement, and am quite willing to answer for my full share of responsibility for its promotion!. I believe it averted a disaster, the imminence of which was fortunately not at the time generally understood by our people. Though the contract mentioned s„ iyed for a time the tide ol gold v.-1! ii.Ira wals its good results could nut be permanent.

On the 28tn or January, 1S95, it was reported by the secre tary ot the treasury that more than $172,000,000 of gold had been withdrawn for hoarding or shipment during the year preceding. He now reports that from January 1, 1S79. to Jul 14, 1890, a peri 3d of more than eleven years, only a little over $28,000,000 was withdrawn, and that between July 14, 1890, the date of the passage of the law for an increased purchase of silver, and the 1st day of December, 1895, or within less than five and one-half years, there was withdrawn nearly $375,000,000, making a total of more than $403,000,000 drawn from the treasury in gold since January 1, 1879, the date fixed in 1875 f-or the retirement of the United Slates notes.

Nearly $327,000,000 of the gold thus withdrawn has been paid on these United States notes, and yet every one of the $346,000,000 is still uncancelled, and ready to do service in future gold depletions. More than $76,000,000 in gold has, since their creation in 1890, been paid out from the treasury on the notes given on the purchase of silver by the government amd yet the whole, amounting to $155,000,000, except a little more than $16,000,000 whloh have been retired by exchange for silver at the request of the holders, remains outstanding and prepared to Join their older and more experienced allies in future raids upon the treasury gold reserve.

It has always seemed to me that the provisions of law regarding the capital

PK ESI DENT'S MESSAG E, continued from p.

of notional banks which operate as a limitation 'to their location fails to make proper compensation for the suppression of state banks, which come near to the people in all sections of the country and readily furnish them with banking accommodations and facilities.

Any inconvenience or embarrassment arising from these restrictions on the location of national banks might well be remedied by better adapting the present system to the creation of banks in smaller communities or by permitting banks of large capital to establish branches in such localities as would serve the people, so regulated and restrained as to secure their safe and conservative control and management.

In the present stage of our difficulty iit is not easy to understand how the amount of our revenue receipts directly affects it. The important question is not the quantity of money received in revenue payments ,but the kind of money we maintain and our ability to continue in sound financial condition. We are considering the government's holdings of gold as related to the soundness of our money and as affecting our national credit and monetary strength.

In our present predicament no gold is received by the government in payment of revenue charges, nor would there be if the revenues were increased. The receipts of -the treasury, when not in silver certificates, .consist of Unnted States notes and treasury notes issued for silver purchases.

If it is said that the nates if held by the government can be used to obtain gold for our reserve, the answer is easy. The people draw gold from the treasury on demand upon United States notes and treasury notes, but the proposition that the treasury can draw gold from the people upon them would be regarded in these days with wonder and amusement. And even if this could be done, there is nothing to prevent those thus parting -with then- gold from regaining it the next day or the next hour by the presentation of the notes they received in exchange for it.

Private holders of gold unlike the government, having no parity to maintain, would not be restrained from making the best bargain possible wh--n they furnished gold for the treasury but the moment the secretary of the trcasuiy bought gold on any terms above par he would establish a" general and universal premium upon it, thus breaking do\\ the parity between gold and siher which the government is pledged to maintain and opening the way to new and serious complications

It is neither unfair nor unjust to charge a large share of our present financial perplexities and

dangers

even the repeal of these laws did not entirely euro the evils of their ex science.

FREE SILVER COIN A'J "While have endeavored to make pla.n statement of the disordered condition ol our currency and the present dangers menacing our prosuei-jty and to suggest a way Avhieh leads to a sifr-r fmanc.al system, I have constantly had in mind the fact that many of my countrymen, whose sincerity I do not doubt, insist that the cure for the •ills now threatening us may be found iin the single and simple remedy of the tree coinage of silver

They contend that our mints shall be at once thrown open to the ir-'e unlimited and independent coinage of both gold and silver dollars of full legal tender quality, regardless of the action of any other government and in full view of -the fact that the r- Lio between the metals whicn thev suggest cads toi one hundred cents worm or gold in the gold dollar ai (he present standard una only fifty cents in inti iPoic v, oi th of silver the silver dollar. iv be a in pendent free coinage oi" silver at an aitificial ratio with gold of ]G to 1 would restore 'the parity ber.ween the metals and ecnseqn^nilv between the corns oppose an unsupported and iio-proba-ble theory to -the ceneral belief and practice of

our own actual experien who receives a inied so worker for wages would his hand ruthlessly the point ot bitter disappointment .if not to pinching privation. A chaive in our standard to siver mono-metal-lism would bring on a- collapse of t''e entire system of credit. All history warns us against rash experiments which threaten violent changes in our monetary standard and the degradation of our currency.

Concurrent circulation of both metals our coinage, are certainly reckoning from a cloucty standpoin t. Our pres ort an a a is an a civilized world and permits the only bimetallism now possible, or at l"ast that is within the independent reach of any single nation, however powerful that nation may be Whil» th--standard of gold as a standard is steadied by almost universal eoaim-n--cial and business use, it does not despise silver nor seek its banishment Wherever this standard is maintnin-'d there is at its side in free and upo-ra-tioned circulation a volume of currency sometimes equaling and times even exceeding it in amour. hi'h maintained at a parity notwilhstniK-Hn a depreciation or fluctuation in ihintrinsic value of silver

Iheie is a vast difference between a standard ot value and a currency monetary use. The standard must neeessaiy be fixed and certain. Tp/» currency may be in divers forms and of various kinds. No silver standard counti has a gold currency in circulation, but an enlightened and witv* system of finance secures the benefits of both gold and silver as currency and circulating mediums by keeping the standard stable and all other currency at pa,r with it.

I lhave ventured to expres myself on this subject wrtih earnestnes and plainness of speech because I cannot rid myself of the belief that there lurks in Che proposition for the free coinage of silver, so strongly approved and so enthusiastically advocated by a multitude of my countrymen, a serious menace to our prosperity.

In conclusion 1 especially entreat the people's representatives in the Congress. who are charged wiith the responsibilty of inaugurating measures for. ithe safety and prosperity of our common country, to promptly and effectively consider the ills of our critical financial plight. I have suggested a remedy which my judgment approves.

I desire, however, to assure the congress thait I am prepared to co-operate with them in perfecting any other measure promising thorough and practical relief, and that I will gladly labor with them in every patriotic endeavor to further the interests and guard the welfare of our countrymen, wJiom, in our respective places of duty, wc have undertaken to serve.
