WiaiiiNOToit, March 15. Tha presi
dent today aeot the following menage to
roDKreM :
Rcifretting the neceanlty which baa
required me to call you together, I feel
that your aMPmibllng in extraordinary
aeaaion ia indiapenaible becauae of the
condition in which we And the reyenuea
of the government. It la conceded tbat
Ita current ol expenditure are greater
than ita receipts, and that auch condi
tion has eiiated now for more than three
yeara. With unlimited meana at our
command, we are presenting the remark
ablo t)ecUcle of increasing our public
JoliLn by borrowing money to meet
ordinary outlays incident upon an even,
economical and prudent administration
ol the government. Examination of the
subject disclose thin fact in every detail
and leada to the inevitable conclusion
that the condition of the revenue which
allows it is utijuHtiflable and should be
corrected.
We find by the reports of the secretary
of the treasury that the revenues for the
fiacal year ending June 30. 1802, from
all sources, were M-",WH.200 22, and
the expenditures for all purposes were
(418,053,800 06, leaving an excess of
receipts over exienditiir8 of (9,014.454.16
During that fiscal year, (10,570,407 04
was paid upon the public debt, which
has been reduced since March 1, 1890,
(259,070,890, and the annual interest
charges decreased (11,084,570 00.
The receipts of the government from
all sources during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1893, amounted to (385,8:8,029,
and iu exenditures, (383,477,054, show
ing an excess of receipts over expendi
tures of (2,341,074. Since that time, the
recvints of no fiacal year and, w ith but
few exceptions, of no month of any fiscal
year, have exceeded expenditures.
The receipts of the government from
all sources during the nVal year ending
June 30, 1894, were (372,982 498 29, and
its expenditures (442,005,758.87, leaving
a deficit, the first time since the resum
ption of specie payments of (09.803,200.58.
Notwithstanding the decrease of $10,709
128 78 in the ordinary expenses of the
government, as compared with the pre
vious fiscal year, its income was still not
sufficient to provide for its daily necessi
ties, and the gold reserve in the treasury
for the redemption of greenbacks was
drawn upon to meet them . But this did
not suffice, and the government then re
sorted to loans to replenish the reserve.
In February, 1S94, (50,000.000 bonds
were issued, and in the November follow
ing a second issue of (50,000,000 was
deemed necessary. The sum of (117,
171,795 was realized by the sale of these
bonds, but the reserve was steadily de
creased until on February 8, 1396, a third
sale of (02,315,400 bonds for (05,110,244
was announced to congress.
The receipts of the government for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, were
(390.373.203 30 and the expenditures,
(433,178,420.48, showing a deficit of (48,
805,223.18. A further loan of (100,000,
000 was negotiated by the government in
February, 1890, the sale netting (111,
106,240 and swelling the aggregate bonds
issued within three yeara to (202,316,400.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1890, the revenues of the government
from all sources amounted to (409,475,
408 78, while ita expenditures were (434
678,054 43 or excess ot expenditures over
receipts of (25,205,245.70 Ia other words,
the total receipts of the three fiscal
years ending June 30, 1896, were in
sufficient by (137,811,729 46 to meet the
total expenditures.
Nor has this condition since improved.
For the first half of the present fiscal
year, the receipts of the government,
exclusive of postal revenues, were $157,
507,603 76, and the expenditures, ex
clusive of the postal service, (195,410,000
29, or an excess of expenditures over
receipts of (37,902, 300 40. In January
of this year, the receipts, exclusive of
postal revenues, were (24,316,994 29, a
deficit of (5,952,395 24 for the month.
In February of this year, the receipts,
exclusive of postal revenues, were (24,
400,997 38, and the expenditures, ex
clusive of the postal service, (23,796,050
06, a deficit of (4,395,053 28, or a total
deficit ol (180,031,580 44 for three years
and eight months, ending March 1, 1897.
Not only are we without surplus in the
treasury, but with an increase of the
public debt, there has been a corres
ponding increase of the annual Interest
charges from (22,893,883 20 in 1892, the
lowest of any year since 1802, to (34,387,
297 60 in 1890 or an increase of (11,493,
414 40.
It may be urged that even if tbe rev
enue! of the government bad been suffi
cient to meet all its ordinary expense
during tbe past three years, the gold re
serve would still have been lnsufhcent
to meet the demands upon it, and that
bonda would necessarily have been
iaaued for it repletion. Be this as it
may, ft is clearly manifest, without
denying or affirming the correctness of
auch conclusion, that the debt would
have been decreased in at least the
amount of the deficit and business con
fidence Immeasurable atrengthened
throughout the country.
Congress should promptly correct tbe
existing conditions. Ample revenues
must be supplied, not only for the ordi
nary expenses of the government, but
for the prompt payment of liberal pen-
siona and liquidation of the principal
and interest of tbe public debt. In rais
ing revenues, duties should be levied
upon foreign products aa Ui preserve the
home mar'iet aa far aa possible to our
producers, to revive and increase manu
factories, to relieve and encmuage agri
culture, to Increase our domestic and
foreign commerce, to aid and develop
our mining and building, and to render
to labor in every field of useful occupa
tion liberal wages and adequate rewards,
to which skill and industry are justly
entitled.
Tbe necessity of the passage of a tariff
law which shall provide ample revenue
need not be further urged. The impera
tive demand of the hour is the prompt
enactment of such a measure, and to this
object I earnestly recommend that con
gress shall make every endeavor. Before
other business is transacted, let us first
provide sufficient revenue to faithfully
administer the government without con
tracting further debt or continued dis
turbance of our finances.

A great many Pacific Coast people,
when contemplating a trip east and when
bringing friends west, know yery little
about the interior lines, and the object of
this article is to afford reliable informa
tion. In the first place for good time and
service, select a route via St. Paul and
Minneapolis, because the lines that way
are continuous under one system with
out any change of cars, and every man,
from peanut agent up, is a courteous, re
liable and experienced officer, ready to
aid and protect you in any einergei.cy
and capable of making you feel at home
and comfortable during the long journey.
Then see that your ticket reads via the
Wisconsin Central lines because that
thoroughfare affords strictly first-class
service, and the meals on its dining cars
(always reasonable in price) are equalled
by few and excelled by none. Geo. 8
Batty, 240 Stark St., Portland, Oregon, is
general agent for this company and will
cheerfully furnish you a neat and handy
calendar and full information on the sub
ject of transportation, if addressed or
called upon, and any agent will, upon
application, sell you a ticket over the

EDUCATOR TO MEET.
Next Seetlng of Ttacher te be at
1'arkplnee A Strong Program.
The next meeting of the Clackamas
County Teachers' Association will be
held at Parkplace on Saturday March
27, commencing at 10 a. m sharp. The
program committee have in preparation
a program which will give the teachers a
busy, profitable and at the same time
an enjoyoble day. ' President Chapman,
of the State university, at Eugene is
to be present, and as he fa one
of the foremost educators of the state
bis presence will add much to the value
of the day'a work. The paper by prof.
Gibson on "Arbor Day, Ita Object and
Observance," will give the teachers an
insight into the proper observance ef
this day, that the school grounds may be
changed from a dreary waste, into a
park-like piece of land. And also that
the children may be taught the value of
our forest wealth and the need for pre
serving it, least this county follow ia
the footsteps of Spain and otber now
treeless countries.
That the profession of teaching should
be raised to the standard of the otber
professions cannot be gainsaid. It is
demanded by the interests of both
scholars and teachers and Prof. Strange
will give his ideas how this desirable
object can be accomplished. "The Art
of Reading" will be handled by Rev.
M. L. Rugg, and as Mr. Rugg is a
former knigbt of tbe birch and an insti
tute worker of several yeara experience,
the teachers may expect to be given
some new ideas on this much neglected
study. There will be other equally as
good addresses not mentioned in the
program given below.
When it comes to serving a dinner the
cooks of Parkplace-Gladstone are the
equal of any in the county and as the
table service is to be in the hands of the
girls and boys of tbe high school room,
the teachers and visitors will not lack
for attention.
These meetings are not for teachers
alone, but for all who are interested in
the cause of education and the better
ment of our common schools and a
cordial invitation is extended to all
parents and others to attend this meet
ing. raooHAM.
