and silver, to restore the equilibrium

between money and all other prtMlucts;

declares the congress to lie unalterably opposed to the protective tariff princi

ple; favors a tariff for revenue only, and urges congress to enact laws to place the tariff upon a

purely revenue basis at as early date

as practicable; declares that the inter

state commerce of the cjmtry should be eontroled by the general government, and that inter-state commerce commissions should Ih? strengthened by appropriate legal k'gislation: favors special effort for the improvement of the Mississippi river and it affluents; favors tho construction of a ship canal connecting

the northern lakes with the Atlantic

ocean; fnvws tne protection oi

harlsirs and navigable rivers that

discharge their waters into

the ocean, and the establishment

of a navy yard at some eligible nohit on

the Mississippi river near tlte moiiin;

declares it to Ik? the judgment of this congress that the Mississippi can Is? and should Ik; navigable for ocean steamers of such elass as now enter the port of

New Orleans, and for a considerable distance alsive that port, and recommends the early passajre of a measure similar to the one known as the Hourroughs bill, which provided an appropriation of SlO.lRW.OiW to be used in the construction of levees from St. Paul to the gulf. The minority report opposes a tariff for revenue, lsdieving that such a tariff would be levied on ten. coffee, sugar and other articles which we most largely import for general use, ami recomends that the government lold fast to the time-honored, patriotic American principle, that in all tariff laws there should bo a moderate protection to Amerkan industry: and declares in favor of a fair trial of the present laws With reciprocity and in favor of a non-partisan tariff commission to inquire into the working of lalor and all industrial callings, including agriculture, with a viewto the equitable adjustment of tariff schedules froni time to time. The report further favors the free, unlimited coinage of American silver ami gold, which should make the silver dol

lar and the gold dollar of equal purchasing power in all markets of the world; favors the holding of an international monetary convention to establish such a ratio and secure its accepts nee by all commercial nations of the world: but until such ratio can be established opposes the unlimited coinage of silver into the present legal-tender dollar: lelieving that such a course would drlva

gold out of circulation, lower the standard values, contract the present volume of the circulating medium ami seriously cripple our foreign trade. Following is the minority rcport'offered by California: We object to tlie free rotting of nilver on tlieKWtwad that the tax-payers of tbet'nltwl StHt lire w liwyiitif alt of the silver oat put nt altont 97 ent4 per ounce, wh "re:n It U claimed that th frM olnaste will rle the irke Hntiot the ta.-paytr jl.pr nnr.
