In pursuance of a constitutional pro
vision rcqiiring the President from time
to limo to give congrcu information of
the State of the Union, 1 have t ;e cat
isfaction to announce that the elope of
the year finln the United .States in the
enjoyment of domestic tranquillity and
at peace with all the nations. Since
The amount paid for pensions during
the fiscal year was $78,775,801,92, be
ing an increase over the proceeding
year of !?5,30S,2:0,22.
The expenses attending tho main
tenance and operation of tho pension
bureau during that period was .$3,2G2,
521,07, making the entire expenditures
: of the bureau $82,038,380.59, being 21$
pcrjjcenl nf the total expenditures of
the government during the year.
I am thoroughly convinced that
our general pension laws should bo re

er 'with which a convention concluded
under my authority with her majesty's
government on tho 15th of Feb. last
for tho removal of all causes of misun
derstanding was submitted by mo for
tho approval of the senate, I transmit
ted a message to congress on the 23 of
August last, reviewing the transactions
and submittiui' for consideration cer
tain rocoincndations for legislation con
cerning tho importantquestions involv
ed. Afterward on tho 32th of Septem
ber, in rcsponso to a resolution of the
Senate, 1 again communicated all the
information in my pdsscsmou as to
tho action of tho government of Cana
da olleeting tho commercial relations
between thu Dominion and tho United
States, including the treatment of the
American fishing vessels in tho ports
and waters of Hritish North America.
The communications havo all been
published, and therefore opened tho
knowledge of both Houses of Congress
although two were addressed to tho Son
ato alone. Comment upon or repeti
tion of their contents woidd bo miricr
iluous, and J am not awaro that, any
thing has since occurred which should
ho added to the facts therein stated.
Therefore, I merely repeat, as applica
ble to 1 1 io prcsant time, tho statement,
winch will bo found in my message to
tho Bonn to of Sept. 12th last, that since
Munch 1st, 1887, no cuso has been re
ported to the department of tho State
where complaint bus been mado of tin
frionely or unlawful treatment of
American ilshing vessels on tho part
of tho Canadian authorities in which
tho reparation was not promptly or
satisfactorily made through tho U. S.
consul general at llalfax.
Having assayed in this discharge of
my duty, to secure By negotiation tho
settlement of a long-standing dispute,
and to remove a constant iuimiuco to
tho good relations of tho two countries,
and continuing to be of thu opinion
that tho treaty of Feb. last, which fail
ed to go tho approval of tho Senate,
did supply a satisfactory, practical and
and final adjustment upon a basis hon
orable and just to both parties of the
difllcult and vexed question to which
it related, and having subsequently
and jjnayailingly, rcOoiacnded other
legislation to Congress which I hoped
would sufllco to moot tho exigency
created by tho rejection of the treaty, I

The- number of pensioners added to

of pensions ha been granted in 45,

at tho oloio of the year, tho number of

woro -ir2,557. Of theso thore woro 800
Burvivt ra of tho war of 1812; 10,787
widows of those who served in tho war;
16,000 soldiers of tl.o Mexican war, and

being altogether ignored, and already
pennons ioo often claimed because the

oippncams areas mueu euiuieu asomer
successful applicants, rather than upon
any disability reasonably attributable
lo military service. If tho establish
ment of vicious precedents bo continu
ed the granting of pensions be not di
vorced from partian and otlior unwor
thy and irrelevant considerations, and
if the honorable namo of veteran un
fairly becomes by these means but an
other term for one who constantly
clamors for tho aid of the govenrncnt,
there is danger that injury will be dono
to the fame and patriotism of jimny of
these whom our citizens delight to hon
or, and that a predjudico will be arous
ed unjust to meritorious applicants for

Tho department of agriculture has
continued witli a good measure of suc
cess. In its offortH to develop the pro
cess, enlarge the results and augment
thu profits of American husbandry, it
has collected and distributed practical
information introduced and tested new
plants, cheeked tho wprcud of conta
gious diseases of farm animals, resisted
the advance of noxious insects and de
structive fungus growths, and sought
to secure to agricultural labor the
highest rewards of dibit and tho full
est immunity from loss. Its records
of tho your show that tho season of
1888 has been one of medium produc
tion. A generous supply of tho de
mands of consumption, huve been as
sured, and a surplus for exportation,
moderate in certain products and boun
tiful in others will prove a benefit
alike to buyer and grower.

Tho adjustment of tho relations be
tween I ho government and tho rail

struction of their roads, should

they favor an extension of tho time for
payment of such indebtedness at least
in ono case, whoro the corporation ap
pears to bo able to comply with tho
well guarded and exact terms or such
extension, and the reinforcement of
their opinion by gentleman of undoub
ted business judgement and experi
ence, appointed to protect tho interests
of the government as directors of said

lief that such an extension would be
to tho advantage of tho government.
