PRESIDENT'S MESSAO E

To tho Senate and House of Representatives: In submitting my seventh annual iressage to Congress In the centennial year of our national existence as free and independent people, it aflords me great pleasure to recur to the advancement that has been made from the time of colonies, one hundred years ago. We were then peoplo numbering only three millions, now we number more than forty millions. Then industries were confined most exclusively to the tillage of soil, now manuturies absorb much of the labor of the country, our liberties remain unimqaired, the boudsmen have heen freed from slavery, and we have become possessed of the respect, if not friendship of all civilized nations. Our progress ha3 been great in all the arts, in science, commerce, navigation, mining, mechanics, law, medicine, etc.,and in general education the progress has been likewise encouraging. Onr thirteen States have become thirty-eight, including Colorado, which has taken the steps to become a State, and eight Territories, including the Indian Territory and Alaska, and excluding Colorada,making a Territory 'extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. On the south we have extended to the Gulf of Nexico and in the west from Mississippi to the Pacific. One hundred years ago the cotton gin, the steamship, the railroad, the telegraph, the reaping, sewing and modern printintr machines, and numerous other inventians of scarcely less value to our business and happiness were entirely unknown.

In 1776 manufacturers scarcely existed even in name. All this was a vast teritery in 1770. More than two millions of persons were employed in manufactures producing more than 2,100, 000,000 dollars worth of produce, amount annually, nearly equal to our national debt, from nearly the whole of the population of 1776, beiug engaged in one occupation of agriculture. In 1870 so numerous and diversified had become the occupations of our people, that less than six millions out of lorty millions were so engaged. The extraordinary effort produced in our country by a resort to such occupations has built a market for the products of fertile lands distant from the sea board and the markets of the world. The American system of working various and extensive manufactories, next to the plow and the pasture and adding connecting railroads and steamboats has produced in bur distant country a result not equaled by- the intelligent parts of other nations. The ingenuity and skill of the American mechanic have been demonstrated at home and -abroad in a manner most flattering to their pride. But for the extraordinary genius and ability of our mechanics the achievements of our agiiculturalists, manufacturers and transporters throughout the country would have been impossible of attainment. The progress of the miner hrs also been great. Of coal our production was small, now many millions of tons are miued annually. So with iron, which lormed scarcely an appreciable part of our products half a century ago. We now prodnce more than the world consumed at the beginning of our national existance. Lead, zinc and copper, lrom being articles ot imports, we may expect to be large exporters of in the near future. The development of Gold and silver mines throughout the States and Territories, has not only been remarkable but ithas also had a large influence upon the business of all commercial nations. -be submitted to the Legislatures of the several States for ratification, making it the duty of each ot the several States to establish and forever .maintain free public schools, adequate to the education of all the children in the rudimentary branches within their respective limits, irrespective of sex, color, birthplace or religion, forbidding the teaching in said schools of religions. Atheistie or

Pagan, tax and prohibiting the granting of any school funds or school taxes in any part thereof, either by Legislature, municipal or others for the beuefij of auy pother object of nature or kind whatever. In connection with this important question it would also call your attention to the importance of connecting on evil that if premitted to continue will probablo lead to great trouble in our laud before the close or the neneteenth century. It ia the accumulatian of vast amounts of untaxed church property. In 1850 I believe the church property of the Uniten States which paid no tax, minicipala or State, amounted to about $83,000,000, in 1860 the amount had doubled. In 1875 it is about 1,000,000,000 by 1900 without check, it is safe to say this property will reach a sum exceeding 3,000,000.003, so vast a sum receiving all the protection and benefit of a Government without bearing its proportion of the burdens and expenses of the same, will not be looked upon ac« quiesceantly by those who have paid taxes. In a growing country where real estate enhances so rapidly with time as in the U. S., there is scarcely a limit to the wealth that may be acquired by corporations religious, or otherwise.

If allowed to retain real estate without taxation to contemplation of so vast a'property as her ealluded without taxation may lead to sequestration without constitutional authority and through blood. I would suggest the taxation of all property equally, whether church or corporation exempting only the last resting place of the dead, and possibly with proper restrictions, of the church edifices.

Our relations with most of the for eign countries, on a satisfactory and friendly footing, increased intercourse, extension of commerce and cultivation of mutual interests have improved our relations with a large majority of the powers of the world, rendering practicable the= peaceful solution of questions, which from time to time arise, leav­

I am of the opinion ftiso, that it is tho duty of the United States as contributing toward that end, and required by tho spirit of tho Again, which we live to provide by suitable legislation, that uo citizen of the United State3 shall hold slavss as property in auy other country or be interested therein. Chili has made reparation in the case of the whale ship Good Return, seized without sufficient cause upwards of forty years ago, though she had hitherto denied her accountability. The denial was never acquiesced in by this Government, and the justice of the claim has been so earnestly contended for that it has be^n gratifying that she sgould have at last acknowledged it. The arcitration in the case of the U. S. steamer Montiko, for the seizure of which the Government of the United States of Columbia was held accountable, and has decided in favor of the claim, this decision has settled a question which has been pending for several years and which while it continued open might more or less disturb good understanding which it is desirable should be maintained between the Republic. A reciprocity treaty with the King of the Hawaiian Islands was concluded some month, as It contains a stipulation that it shall effect until Congress shall enact the proper legislation for the purpose, copies of the instrument are here with submitted in order that if such should be the pleasure of Congress that the necessary legislation upon the subject may be adopted. In March last an arrangement was made through Mr, Cushing, our minister in Madrid, with the Spanish Government for the payment by the latter to the United States of the sum of $80,000, coin,for the purpose of the relief of the families or persons of tto ship's company and certain passengers of the Virginius. This sum was to have been paid in three installments at two months each. It is due to the Spanish Government that I should state that the payments were fully and speedily anticipated by that Government, ami that the whole amount was paid within but a few more than two months from date of agreement. The agraement a copy of which is herewith transmitted in pursuance of the terms of the adjustment. I have directed the distribution of the amount among the partios under their to including the ships company and such of the passengers as were American citizens, payments are made accordingly on application ofthe parties entitled thereto The paper has furnished no evidence of an approaching of some of the ruinous conflicts which has been raging for seven years in tho neighboring Inland of Cuba. Tho same disregard of th9 laws of civilized warfare and of the just demnds of humanity, which have heretofore called forth expressions of condemnation, from nations of Christendom, and have continued to blacken the sad scene of desolation, ruin and pillage, are pervading the rich fields of one of the most fertile and productive regions of the earth, and fkn innon/liarioc tnrnh 13 flriUCT nlflTlt'-i-the incendiaries torch i3 firing plar.ta tions, and valuable factories and buildings, is the

that

such legislation may be another step toward the great consumatien to be reached when no man

making alter­

nate advance, or retreat of the contending parties. The protracting continuance of the strife seriously affects the interests of all commercial nations, but those of the United States more than others, by reason of its close provimity, its larger trade and intercoursr with Cuba, and frequent and intimate personal and social relations which have grown up between its citizens and those of the island. Moreover, the property of our citizens in Cuba is large, and is rendered insecure and depreciated in value and capacity o* production by the continuation of the strife and the unnatnral mode of its conduct. The same ia true, differing only in degree, with rcspect to the interest and peopie of ether nations,

the absence of any reasonable assurance of a near termination of the conflict must of necessity soon compel the States thus suffering to consider what the intherests of their people and their duty towards themselves may demand. I have hoped that Spain would be enabled to establish peace in her colonv, to afford security to the property and the interests of ©ur citizens, and allow legitimate scope to trade, and commerce, and the national productions ot the island, because of this hope, and from an extreme .reluctance to interfere in the most remote manner, in affairs of another and friendly nation, especially of one whose sympathy and friendship in the struggling infancy of our own existence, must ever be remembered with gratitude. I have patiently and anxiously waited the progress ot events of our own civil conflict is too recent for us not to consider the difficulties which surround a Government distracted by a dynastic rebelllion at home at the same time that it has to cope with a seperate insurrection in a distant colony, but whatever causes may have produced the situation which so grievously affeets our interests, it exists, with all its attendant evils, operating directly upon this country and its people. Thus far all the resorts of Spain have proved abortive, and time has marked an improvement in the situation. The armed bands of the other side now occupy nearly the same ground in the past with the diilerence trom time to time of, more lives sacri­

property destroyed and wider extents of fertile and productive fields, and more valuable property con* stantly wantonly sacrificed to the incendiaries'torch.

In the contests of this nature where a considerable body of people, who have attempted to free themselves of the control of the super Government, have reached such a. point in occupation of the territory in power and in general organization as to constitute, in fact, a body politic having a Government in substand, as well as in name, possessed of the elements of stability and equipped with machinery for the administration of internal policy and the execute™ of its laws, and prepared and able to administer justice, at home, as well as in its dealings with other powers. It is within province of those other powers to recognize nation6

&t

cupying a known tenitory united under some known and defined form of government, acknowledged by those subject thereto by which the functions of the Government are administered by usual methods, competent to mete out justice to citizens and strangers, to afford remedies for public and private wrongs, and able to assume the relative international obligations, and capable of performing the Corresponding Internal duties resulting from its acquisition of the rights to severeignty aud power to uphold the last complete in its organization ready to take and able to maintain its' place among JSTations of the earth, while conscious that the insurrection in Cuba has shown a strength and endurance which make at least doubtful whether it be in the power of Spain to subdue it, it seems unquestionable that no such civil organization exists which may be recoguized as an independent Government capable 'of performing its obligations, and entitled so be treated as one of the powers of the earth. A recognition under such circumstances would be inconsistant with the facts, and would compel the power to give it soon to support by force the Government to which it had really given it only real claim of existence. In my judgment the United States should adhere to the policy and the principles, which have heretofore been its sure and safe guides in like contests, between revolted colonies and their mother country, and acting only upon the clearest evidence, should avoid any popularity of suspicion of imputative, A recognition of the independence of Cuba is being, in my opinion, impracticable and indefensible. The question which next presents itself is that of the reccgnition of Bellegerent rights on the parties to the contest.

THE CUBAN QUESTION,

In a former message to Congress I had an occassion to consider this question, and reached the conclusion that the conflict in Cuba, dreadful aud devastating as were its events, did not rise to the fearful dignity of war. Regarding ic now, after this lapse of time, I am unable to see that any notable success of any marked or solid advance, on the part of the Insurgents, has essentially changed the character of the contest. It has acquired greater age, but not greater or more formidable proportion, It is possible that the acts of foreign powers, and even acts of Spain herself, of this very nature might be painted to in defence of such recognition but noue as in its past history. The United States should carefully avoid the false lights which might lead it into the mazes of doubtful law, and of questionable propriety, and adhere rigidly and sternly to the rule, which has been its guide and rule, only that which is right and honest and of good report.

The question of according or of withholding the rights of belligerency, must te judged in every case in view of the particular attending facts, unless justified by necessity it is always, and justly regarded as an uniformity act and a gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion. It is nescessary, and it is required, when the interests aud right of another Government or of its people, are so far aflected by a pending civil conflict as to require a definition of its relations to the parties thereto, but this conflict must be one which will bo recognized in the sense of the international law as belligerents, also. It is a fact that the mere existence of contendit armed bobies and their occasional conflicts do not constitute war in the seuse referred to. Applying the existing condition of affairs in Cuba, the tests, recognized by publicists aud writers in the international law, and which have been observed by nations of dignity, honesty and power, when from sensitive, selfish or unworthy motives, I fail to find in the insurrection "the existence of such a substantial political organization, real, palpable and manifest to the world, having the forma and capable of the ordinary functions of the Government towards its own people ana to other States with the courts for administration of justice, with a local habitation, possessing such organization of force, such material, such occupation of territory as to take the contest out of the category of a more rebellious? insurrection or occasional skimishes, and place it on the tenible footing of war which a recognition of billigerency would aim to elivate it. The contest moreover, is solely on land, the insurrection has not possessed itself of a single seaport whence it may sefid forth its flag, nor has it any means of communication with foreign powers, except through the Military lines of its f»Hvfr«aries no apprehension of any of those sudden and difficult complications which a war upon the ocean is is apt to precipitate upon the vessels, both commercial and national, and upon the consular officers of other powers, calls for the definition of their relations to the parties to the contest. Considered as a question of expediency. I regard the accordance of belligerant rights still to be as unwise and premature as I regard it to be at present indefensible as a measure of right. Such recognition entails upon the country, according to the rights which flow from it, difflcutt and complicated duties, and requires the action from the contending par­

ties

power in a

word. Tli© creation of a npw Rt&te is the fact to establish the condition of

snar«ft!se«g£s

of the strict observance of their rights and obligation. It confers the right of search upon the high seas, by vessels of botn parties. It would subject the carrying of arms and ammunition of war, which now may be transported freely and without interuption. In the posessions of the United States to detention and to possible seizures, it wouln give rise to countless varatlons, questions would releas the parent Government from responsibility f°r acts done by tho insurgents, and would invest Spain with the right to exercise the supervision recognized by our treaty of 1795, over our commerce on the high seas. A very large part of which in its traffic !between the Atlantic and GQlf States, and ytikB I

between all of them, and the States upon the Pacific passes through the waters which washes the shores of Cuba. The exercise of this supposition could scarce fail to lead, if not to abuses, certainly to collisions perilous to the peaceful relations of the two States. There can be little doubt to what result such a provision would before long draw this Nation. It would be unworthy of the United States to inaugurate the possibilities of such a revolt by measures of questionable right or expediency or by any inderection. apart from any question of theatrical right I am satisfied that while the accordance of bellegerent right to the insurrection in Cuba, might give them a hope aud inducement to protraot the struggle. It would be but a delusive hope and would not remove the evils which this good, and its people are experiencing, but would draw the United States into complications which it has waited long, and already suffered much to avoid. The recogition of independence or of belligesency being thus in m£ judgomont equally unadmissable, it remains qo consider what coursa^ should be adopted. Should the confliet not soon be brought to an end by acts of the parties themselves,and should the evils which result thereirom, afflicting all nations, and particularly the United States, continue in such event. I am of opinion that other nations will be compelled to assume the responsibility which devolves upon them, and to seriously consider the only remaining measures possible, meditation and intervention. Owing perhaps to the large expanse of water separaiing the island from Ihe peninsula, the want of harmony, and of personal sympathy between the iahabitnnts of the colony and those sent thither to rule them and want of adaption ofthe ancient colonial system of Europe to the present times and to the ideas which the events of the past century have developed the contending parties appear to have within themselves no depository of common confidence to suggest wisdom when passion and excitement have their way and assume the part of peacemaker in this view. In the early days of the contest the good officers of the United State as a mediator were tendered in good faith without any selfish purpose in the interestfof summony and in (sincere friendship for both parties but were at. the time declined by Spain, with the declaration, nevertheless, that at a future time they would bo indispensable. N8 intimation has been received that, in the opinion of Spain, that time has been reached, and yet the strife contiaues, with its decade horrors and all its injuries to the interest of the United States and of other nations. Each party seems quite capable of workingg'reat injury and damage to the other, as welt as to all the relations and interests depenpent on tho existence of paace in the island. Cut thoy seem incapable of reaching any adjustment, and both have thus far failed in achieving any. success whereby the one shall possess and contr&l the 1siand to the exclusion of the other. Undei these circumstances the agencies of others either meditation or by intervention seems to be the only alternative which must sooner or later, be inoaked for the intermition of the strife at the same time while im­

pressed. tl do not recommend the

adoption measure of intervention, I shall be ready at all tkn-Js and as usual the friend of both parties to respond to a suggestion that good offices of the United States will be accepted in bid, in bringing about a pease honorable to both. It is due to Spain so far as this Government is concerned, that agency of the third power which have adverted, shall be adopted only as a last expedient. Had it been the desire ofthe United States to interfere in the affairs of Cuba, repeated opportunities for so doing have been presented within the last few years, but we have remained passive, and have performed our Over the whole duty and international obligations to Spain, with friendship, fairness, and fidelity, and with a spirit of patience and forbearance,which negatives every possible.suggestion of desire to interfere, or to add to tho difficulties with which she has been surrounded. The Government of Spain hos recentlysubmitted terms in answer to the requirements of the particular grievances of which this Government has felt itself entitled to complain. These proposals have not yet reached me in their full text. On their arrival they will be taken in csseful examination, and may, I hope, lead to a satisfactory adjust ment of the questions to which they re fer, and remove the possibility of future occurrences, sucn as has given rise to our past complaints. It is understood afso that renewed efforts are being made to introduceqreforms into the iuternaladministration of tho island. Persuaded, however, that a proper regard for the interests of the United States and its citizens entitles us to a relief from the strain to which it has^been subjected by the difficulties of the questions, aud the wrongs and losses which arise from the contest in Cuba, and that the interests of humanity itself demand a cessation of the strife before the whole island shall be laid waste, and larger sacrifices of life be made. I shall feel it my duty, should my hopes of a satisfactory adjustment, and ofthe early restoration of peace,and the removal of future causes of complaint be unhappily disappointed to makes further communication to Congress at some period not far remote and during the present session recommending what may then seem to me to be necessary.:

The free zon« so called several years since, established by the Mexican Government, in certain of tho Stated of that Republic Miacent to our frontier, remains in fulrojrerations. It has always materially injured the honest traffic of its operators, as an incentive to the traders in Mexico to supply without custom charges, the wants ot the inhabitants on this side of the line, and prevents the same wants from being supplied by merchants of the United States, thereby,

to

a considerable extent distending our revenue and checking homest commercial enterprise. Depredations by armed bands from Mexico, on the people of Texas near the frontier,continue through the main object ofthe incursions, is robbery.-They freauently revolt in the murder of- unarmed ana peaceably disposed persons, and in some instances even the postoffices and mail communications -have been attacked. Renewed remonstrances upon this subject have been addressed to the Mexican Government, bui without much apparent effect. The military force of this Goverment disposable for service in that quarter is quite inadequase to effectually guard the line even at those points

Generally in thus considering its determination that the Oovernment has shown a just sense of self respect, which cannot fail to reflect credit upon it in the eyes of all disinterested persons olsewuere. It is to be regretted that its payments on account of claims by citizens of the United States, are still so meagre in amount and that the stipulations of the treaty in regard to sums to be paid and the periods when these payments were to take place should h*ve been so signally regarded since my last annual message the exchange has been made of the ratificaiion of treaty of navigator of Belgium and oi the conventions with the Mexican Republic for the further extension of the joint commission respecting the cliam3 with Hawaiians Islands for Commercial reciprocity and with Ottoman Empire for extradition all of which have been daily proclaimed. The Court of Commissioners of Alabama claims has prosecuted its imported duties very as$idously and very satifactorily It conveued and was organized on the 22d day of July, 1874, and by the terms of the Act under which it was created, it was to expire one year from that day, the Act provided however, that sbouid it be found impracticable to complete the work of Court before the expiration of the year, the President might, by proclamation, extend the time of its duration to a period not more than six months beyond the expiartion. One year having received satisfactyry evidence that it would be impracticane to complete the work Wilhin the time originally fixed. I issued proclamation. Copy of which is presented herewith, extending the time of duration of time of the codrt a period of six months lrom and after the twenty-second of July last. The report made through the clork of the court communicated herewith shows a condition of the calender on the first of Novemeinber last and the large amount of work which has been accomslished. Thirteen hundred and eighty two claims have been presented of which six hundren and eighty two had been disposed of at the date of the report. I am informed that one hundred and seventy cases were decided during the month of November. Arguments are being made, and decisions given in, the remaing cases with all the dispatch, content with proper adjudication. The question submitted many of these claims are in behalf of the mariners, or depend on the evidence of mariners whose absence has delayed Ihe taking, and return necessary evidence. It is represented to me that it will be impracticable for the court to finolla dispose of ail the cases before it, whether the present limits its duration.

The French consession showod that other capital that already invested was ready to enter into completion with the assuranco of adequate roturn for their outlay. I am impressed with the convicthat the intei ests not omly of the people of the United States, but of the world at larfe, demand, or would do mand the multislication of such means of communication between separated contents. I was desirous that the proposed connection should be made, but certain provisions of this concession were deemed by me to be objectionable, particularly one which gave lor along term of years the exclusive right of telegraphic communication by the submarine cable between the shores of France and the United States. I could not concede that any power should claim the right to land cable on the shores of the United States and at the same time deny to the U. S. or to its citizens of granties on equal right to land cable on its shore?. The right to control connection for the laying of cable within the jurisdictional waters of the U. 8. to connect our shores with those of any foreign State pertains exclusively to the Government of the U. S. under such limitations and conditions as Congress may impose in the abscence of a Legislation by Congress. I was unwilling on the one hand to yield to a foreign State the right to say that its merchants might land on our shore what it denied a similar right to our people to land on its shores, and on the other hand I was reluctant to deny to grant the interests of the world and of civilation, the facilities of such communication as were proposed.
