THE PRESIDENT'S ' ME53A0U.
A BrM MmUm at Iks Mar Impart'
, aat Matter t n Acts Upaa.
President MoKlnloy'sruossBgo. which
wa presented to eongrois Monday,
aftor extending greeting to tho 66th
oongress, and sneaking of the oondl.
tlona which have contributed to our
prosperity as a nation, doals with Im
portant national question to he consid
ered by thetpreeut session, A sum
mary of the topics dlsoussod In tho
message, and the president's recom
mendation concerning thtin, follows:
TIIEGUKKBNOY.
Tho president points out that tho
eyll of our eurrenoy system It the great
oust to the government of .keeping all
the forma of our money at a parity;
that we have $900,000,000 of ourreuoy
that the government It pledged to re
deem In gold, but lis receipts are not
required to be paid in gold, and hence
the only meant at oommand of the gov.
ernmenment for btatnlnlng gold It by
borrowing It, which aooounta for the
Increase of the bonded debt durlnr tka
Cleveland administration of 2!,8io,ttt0
to mars uowey to aeep up tne gold
reserve at 1100,000,000. Should the
present policy of raising gold by bond
Issues be continued, it Is recommended
tbavtoe aeeretary of the treasury he
ffiveh authority to tull bonds bear Ing a
ower rate of Interest, and for long or
short periods. He recommends that
when a United States note Is presented
at the treasury and redeemed la gold,
It shall not again be nut In olraulatlon
except lor gold. In bis oolnion. It la of
great Importance that the government
should not be required to provide tho
gold needed tor exohange or for export.
it is pointed out mat tne existing ya
tern Is fraught with great danger. Ho
indorses the plan recently ou til nod bv
Secretary Gage for reforming the cur
rency, and further asks that notes of
national banks be restricted to Issues
of $10 and upwards, and that national
banks with a minimum oapital of
126,000 be allowed to be organised, and
all national banks bo allowed to Issue
notes equal to the face value of tbelr
bonds deposited to secure such circula
tion.
CUBA.
The question of tho Cuban war and
our relations with Spain and tbe in
surgents occupies the greatust space of
any question considered. Tho presi
dent shows that In the revolution be
ginning In 1863 the Unltud States,
through President Gram, endeavored
to put an end to bloodshed in Cuba,
but lis efforts were unsuccessful. At
that time the question of granting
belligerent rights to tbe Insurgents
was considered, as now, but was not
favored by Grant, and MoKlnley takes
a decided stand against it now, believ
ing that it Is unwise, but says he will
take the step whenever right and dutv
demand it. It is due to Spain, In view
of our friendly relations, that she begin
in time to prove that she can and will
achieve tbe pacification of tbe islands
and Introduce reforms which the pres
ent Spanish ministry Is committed.
HAWAII.
Reference Is made to the treaty with
the Hawaiian islands, laid before oon
gress last June, which has been rati
fied by the Hawaiian republic, and
now awaits action by tbe United State
senate. Its adoption would complete
annexation oi tne lBianos to this coun
try, and the message says that "every
consideration of dignity and honor re
quires it."
NICARAGUA CANAL.
In regard to this matter, of sucb lm
portaoce to our country, he state that
tbe commission annotated last July to
continue tne surveys ana examinations
Into tbe proper route, feasibility and
cost of tbe canal Is now at work; that
be will transmit to congress the report
oi toe commission ween it is prepared,
tuRetner witn nis own recommenda
tions as to action.
BIMETALLIC COMMISSION.
On April 14. 1897, tbe monetary com-
miBsion.to nromoie an agreement lor in
ternational bimetalism was SDDo'.nted.
consisting of E. O. Wolcott, A. A. Stev
enson and C. J. Payne. Tbe president
says mat, wnne tney nave not been
able to accomplish tbelr mission, he
hopes their work may ultimately bring
aoout an international agreement so
curiug recognition to both gold and
suver as-money, on a oasis which will
oring injury to nobody.
RECIPROCITY.
He believes that some grevianees In
trade relations may be removed or al
leviated by reciprocity, and that the
volume of our business may be enlarged.
MERCHANT MAHINK.
The president contends that our mer-
onant marine ihould be enlarged and
improved so we would receive our full
sbare of tbe commerce of the sea, and
says that the government should by
every proper means foster and encour
age carriers under our flag.
ARBITRATION.
He nledges his enconraffamnnt tn ar
bitration treaties which shall avoid the
horrors of war, provided they do not
imperil our interests or our honor.
THE NAVV.
The president sneaks with mnch
ratification of five battle-ships of the
rst class, 16 torpedo-boats and a sub
marine boat now under construction,
and says that the recent increase of the
navy was needed and has received public
approval. He recommends that three
or four drydocks be constructed on the
Atlantic coast, at least one on the Pa
cific coast, and a floating dock on the
gun. .
ALASKA.
The needs of Alaska receive attention
in the message. It gives in outline the
laws applicable to the territory: ap
proves the establishment of the military
post to give protection to persons and
property; asks congress to establish a
flexible system of government adinstlble
to the future's needs ; and brings to the
attention of the national legislature the
reported probable shortage of food.
. INDIANS.
The president believes that new laws
and regulatious for the government of
the Indians art imperative. Tbe area
of Indian territory is 26,664,546 acres,
much of it beinir fertile land. Nnmbara
of whites have Bettled in the territory,
ana ay present laws are deprived oi tne
right of citizonijhip and schooling for
their children, A commigBion is now
investigating the mutter and t routing
with the IndinnB. He hclieveH, with
the secretary of the interior, that the
government should resume ownership
of the land now belonging to Indians.
