THE TARIFF.
Tho tariff act panned at tlio lat
eHlon of congress needs Important
amondmeuts If It is to be executed
effoctlvoly and with certainty.
In addition to such neceswiry
amendment as will not cliango tlio
rates of duty, I am still veiry decided
ly in favor of putting eoul and Iron
uion tho free lint, and so far as the
Httgar schedule Is .concerned, I would
Iw glad under exlMt.Ing nggravaUon
to see every particle of differential

still languishes to the exUmt of t'lo

IILUKFIELD'S INCIDENT.
Referring to tha Blueneld Incident

BONDS AND ItN tsCE.
Referring to the recent bond luo.
tho president says, tuat it 1 MrfiTtly

illposltloti In some iiuartcr to deny

Ixoii.t are diillM-rntiiy willing that
flielr government should default In
It HC,iiil;try obligation or that It
tlnats lal oiM'rat'oii should be reduced
to a silver basis. At any rate, I
uliotild not fii that my duty wa doiue
If I omitted tiny effort I could make
to avert uch a calamity. A long

Coneludliig, tho prodlilnit says. In
referees to the ututatlsfMctery fnt
i'n of our bank and currency sys
tem: 'I he absolute divorcement of the

tlons cotiNtitntlng a first lien upon tne
owseta of tha fallod bank la favor of
the contributing banks. A a further
security, It Is contemplated that the
existing provisions fixing the Individ
ual liabilities Of stockholders is to uo
retained and tho bank' indebtedness
on account of It circulating notes Is
to bo made n first Hen on all It as
sets. For the mrposo of meeting tho ex
pense of printing notes, official super-
vis on. cancellation ana other line
charges, there shall be paid a tux, sny
one half of one per cent per annum
on tlie average amount of notes In
circulation. It Is farther provided
thnt there shall bo uo national bank
notes Issued of less denomination limit
ten dollar. Another very Important
feature of thl plan 1 the exempllou
of state banks from taxation by the
I lilted Ktatcs lu enses whPre It I
shown lo the satisfaction of tlie sec
retary of the treasury and comptroller
of tho rurtviey by banks claiming
such exemption, that they have not
bad outstanding of their circulating
notes exceeding seventy five per cent
of their iHild up and unimpaired cii
ttat; that their stockholder are In
dividually liable for tlio redemption
of their tirciilullng notes to the full
extent of their ownership of stock;
Hint the liability of said bunk upon
their circulating notes constitutes,
under their slate law, a first lien upon
tltolr assets; that such bank haw
kept and maintained a gunrauue fund
lu United Hlutes tonal tenders notes,
Including United Htnte treasury note
of IHiKi, equal to thirty per cent t,f
their outctaudliiK cimiiutitig tiutcs;
and that such banks have promptly
redeemed their circulating note when
presented at their principal or branch
omoc.
It Is qulle likely that this scheme
may Is usefully amended In mhiiii of
Irs detail, but I am satisfied It fur
nishes a basl for very great Improve
ment lu our present banking and cur
rency system.
I conclude thl communication, fully
