Prosident Rooeovelt's annual address to congroes was read in both Iioubos yestorday. Following is a synopsis of tho docu ment: To tho Bonato and liouso of roprosonta lives: We still continue in a period of tin .bounded prosjwrity. This prosperity la not tho creature of law, but un doubtedly tho laws under which uo work liavo beon instrumental in creating the conditions which mndo it possiblo, and by unwise leglnlatlon-lt -would-bo easy enough to destroy it. Thore will un doubtedly , bo poriods of dopreBeion. Tho wave will recede, but tho tldo will advance This nation is eeated on a continent Dunked by two great oceans. It is composed of men tho descendants of pioneers, or, in a boiibo, pioneers themeolvea; of men winnowed out from among tho nations of tho old world by tho onergy, boldness and lovo of adventure found in thoir own eager heurtB. Such a nation, so placed, will surely wiest succees from fortune. In my message to tho present con gress ut its first session I discusosd at length the question of the regulation of thoso big corporations which ure popu larly known us trusts. Our aim is not to do away with cor porations; on tho, contrury, thote big aggregations are an inevitablo devel opment of modorn industrialism, and the effort to destroy them would bo futile unless accomplished in ways that would work tho utmost mischief to the ontire body politic. I believo that monopolies, unjust disci iminntions, which provent or crip plo competition, fraudulent overcapi talizution, and other evils in triiBt or ganizations and practices which inlur iously affect interstate trade, can bo prevented under tho power of congress to "regulate commerce with forolgn na tions and among tho several statB." If it provo impouhiblu to enact a law that will regulato those corporations, then, utsuredly, wo should not shrink from amending tho constitution bo uh to Bocuro beyond perudventuio tho pow er sought. Stability of economic policy must al ways bo tho prime economic noed of this country. This stability should not be foBsilization. Tho country has acquiesced in the wisdom of tho pro tective tariff principle. It is exceed ingly undesirable that this system should bo deetroyed or tliut there should be violent and radical change therein. Our past experience shows that great prosperity in this country has always come under n protective tariff; and that the country cannot prosper under fitful tariff changes at short intervals. It is moi t earnestly to bo wished that we could treat the tariff from tho itandpolnt eolely of our business needs. The well being of the wage earner, like tho well being of the tiller of the t-oil, should be treated as an eetential in shaping our whole economic policy. There tnufct never be any change which will jeopardize the standard of comfort, tho standard of wages of the American Vtagenorker, One way in which tho readjustment eought can be reached is by reciprocity treaties. They can be need to widen our markets and to give a greater field for tho activities of our producers, on the one hand, and on the other hand to secure in practical shapo tho lower ing of duties when they are no longer () & needed for protection among our own peoplo or when tho minimum of dam ago dono may be disregarded for tho sako of tho maximum of good accomp lished. It would bo both unwlso and un nocoeiary at this timo to attompt to reconstruct our financial system, which hns been tho growth of a century; but somo additional legislation is, I think, desirable. It is suggested that nil future legislation on tho Biibject should bo with n view of encouraging tho uso of such instrumentalities as will auto matically supply every legitimato de mand of productive industries and of commerce, not only in the amount, but in the character of circulation; and of making all kinds of money Inter changeable, and, at tho will of tho holder, convertible Into tho established gold standard. How to socuro fair treatment nliko for labor and capital, how to hold in check tho unscrupulous man, whether employer or employe, without weak ening individual initiative, without hnmperlng and cramping tho industrial dovoiopmvnt of tho country, is a prob lem fraught with groat difficulties and ono which is of the highest importance to solve on lines of sanity and far sighted common sense as well as de votion to tho right. Tills is an era of federation and combination. Orguulzcd capital and orngnized labor alike should romembor that in tho long run tho interest of each muat bo brought into harmony witli tho in terest of tho general public; and tho conduct of onch muBt conform to tho fundamental rules of obedience to tho law, of individual freedom and of jus tice and fair dealing toward all. Each should temomber that in 'addition to power it must strive after tho realiza tion of healthy, lofty and generous ideals. Every employer, every wage earnor, must bo guaranteed his liberty and his right to do as ho likes with his property or his labor so long as he does not infringe upon tho rights of others. It Ih earnestly hoped that tho secre tary of commorce may be creatod, with a seat in tho cabinet. The rapid mul tiplication of queptlons affecting labor and capital, the growth and complexity of tho organizations through which both labor and capital now find ex pression, tho stoady tondency townrd tho employment, ol capital in hugo cor porations, and thoi wonderful strides of this. country- uMard lcwdorehlrr,n tho international business world justify an urgent demand (or tho creation of such a position. I hope soon to submit to tho sonato a reciprocity treaty witli Cuba. On May -'0 lust tlio United States kept its prom Ibo to tho island by formally vacating Cuban soil and turning Cuba over to ilioeo whom her own pooplo had chosen aa tho flrht ofllclals of tho now republic. Cuba lios at our doors, and whatever nffoctn her for good or for ill affect us also. So much have our peoplo felt this that in tho Piatt amondmont we definitely took tho ground that Cuba mu6t hereafter Jiavo cloeor relations with us than with any other powor. As civilization grows warfare becomes Ions uud Jess tho normal condition of foreign relations. Tho last century has Beon a mnrkod diminution of wars be tween civilized powers; wars with un civilized powors aro iareely mere mat ters of international police duty, essen tial for tho welfaro of the world. Whonever pOBslblo arbitration or somo similar method should bo employed in lion of war to fettle difllcutios between civilized nations, although aa yet tho world has not progressed sulllcinetly to render it pofilblo or nocoEBarlly deslra bio to invoke arbitration in every caeo. The congress has wlsoly provided for building at onco an isthmian cannl, if posHiblo at Panama. Tho attorney goncrul reports that wo can undoubted ly acquire good titlo from tho French Panama canal company. The work should bo carried out. ns n continuing policy without regard to chanpo ot ad ministration; and it should do begun under circumstnncea which will make it a mutter of prido for all administra tions to continue the policy. Of Porto Rico it Is only necoBBBry to say that the prosperity of tho island and tha wisdom with which it lias been governed havo been such as to make it serve us an oxamplo of all that is best in insular administration. On July 4 lust peace and nmnoety uere promulgated in the Philippine islands. Somo trouble has since from timo to time threatened with tho Mo hummedan Moros, hut with tho late insurrectionary Filipinos the war has entiroly closed, Civil government baa now beon introduced. Not only doea each Filipino enjoy tuch rights of life, liberty and thu pursuit of happiness aa he lias never before known during tiie recorded history of tho islands, hut the peoplo, taken as a whole, now enjoy a measure of relf government greater than that granted to any other Orientals by uny foroign power, and greater than that enjoyed by any other Orientals under their own governments, save tho Japanese alone. Too much praicu cannot bo given to tho army for what it has done in the Philippines, both in warfaro and from an administrative standpoint, In preparing the way for civil government; and similar credit belonga to the civil authorities or the way in which they havo planted tho scodB of self government in tho ground thus mndo rendy for thorn. Tho nrmy hns been reduced to tho minimum allowed by law. It is very small for tho sizo of tho nation, and most certainly should be kept at the highest point of elllciency. A systom of maneuvering our nrmy in bodies of some little size Iiiib been begun nnd should bo stendily continued. Without such maneuvers it is folly to oxpect that in tho event of hontillties witli any serious foe ovon n small nrmy corjis could bo handled with advantage. Our ofllcors and enlisted mon nro such that wo can heartily take prido in them, but they munt be thoroughly trained, both as individuals and in tho mass. In the circumstance? of modorn warfaro tho man must act far morn on lils own Individual responsibility than ovor before, and tho high individual efficiency of the unit is of tho utmost importance. I urgently call your attention to tho need of passing a bill providing for a tieneral staff and ior tho reorganization of tho supply departments on tho linos of tho bill proposed by tho secretary of war last year. For tho first timo in nur history maneuvers on n lager i-calo aro being held under tho immedinto command of tho admiral of the navy. Constantly increasing nttention ia bolngpnid to the gunnery of tho navy, but it is yet far from what it should ho. Thoro should be no halt in tho work of building up tho navy, providing every year additional lighting craft. Wo have deliberately mndo our own certain foreign policies which demand tho poBeoHsion of a first cIubh navy. Tho isthmian cannl will greatly In crease tho elllciency of our navy if tho navy is of sufficient size; but if we havo nn inadequate navy, then tho building of tho canal would bo merely giving n hoatago to any other power of superior strength. Tho Monroo doctrino Bhould bo treated ns tho cardinal feature of American foroign policy; but it would bo worse than Idle to assert it unices wo intended to back it up, and it can lo backed up only by a thoroughly good navy. Tho striking increaBo in tho rovenuos of tho postofilco department shows clearly tho prosperity of our peoplo nnd thu Increasing activityvof tho business of tho country. Rural froo delivery servico is no longor in the experimental stago; it has bocomo a fixed policy. The results fol lowing its introduction havo fully justi fied tho congroEsin tho large appropria tions mado for its establishment and extension.- - Few subjects of greater Import ance havo been takon up hy tho con gress in rocent years than tho inaugu ration of tho system of nationally aided irrigation for tho arid regions of the fnr west. A good beginning therein hns boon made. Now that tills policy of national irrigation has boeu adopted, tho need of thorough and scientific for est protection will grow more rapidly than over throughout tho public land stutes. Legislation should bo prnvidod for tiio protection of tho game, nnd wild creatures generally, on tho forest re serves. Tho sonselosa slaughter of gnmo should bo stopped at onco. It is, for instance, a serious count against our national good senso to permit tho present practice of butchering off such a stately and beautiful creature as tho oik for its antlers or tusks. So far as thoy are available for agri culture, and to whatever oxtent thoy may bo reclaimed under tho national irrigation jaw, tho romniuing public lauds should bo held rigidly for thu homebuilder, tho settler who lives on Ills laud, and for no ono elsu. In their actual ubo, tho desort land law, tho timner and stone law, and thu com mutation clauBO of I ho homestead law havo been ho perverted from tho inten tion with which thoy woro enacted na to permit tho acquisition of largo arena of tho public domain for other than actual settlers and tho consequent pre vention of settlement. Moreover, the approaching exhaustion of tho public ranges has of Into led to much discus sion ns tn thu best manner of lining these public landa in tho west which nro auitnblo chiefly or only for grazing. In view of tho capital Importance of theno matters, it might bu well for a commlEsion of experts to investigate and report upon the complicated ques tions involved. I especially urge upon tho congress thu need of who legislation for Alusku. It ia not to our credit ns a nation that Alaska, which has been ours for .'15 years, t-hould still have aa poor a sys tem of laws as Is the cuno. It ia u ter ritory of grent size and varied re sources, well fitted to eupport u large, permanent population. Alaska needs a good land law and such provisions for homesteads and pre-emptions na will encourage permanent settlement. We should shapo legislation with a view not to thu exploiting and abandoning of the territory, but to thu building up of homes therein. Thu forest a should he protected, and, ns a secondary, hut still important mutter, tho gume uho. Laws Bhould bo enacted to protect tho Alas kan salmon fisheries against tho greed which would doHtroy them. It would 1m well if a congressional committee could visit Alaska and investigate its needs on the ground. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. White Houeo Dec. 2, 1002.
