THE MESSAGE OP PRESIDENT AKTIint.
A Coiiiprobeiuive Docnrapiil.
President Arthurs message was
read to Congress last Monday. In it
he congratulates the country upon its
peaceful relations with foreign pow
ers. A revision of legislation affect
ing immigration is recommended. A
fish commission, to consider the
question of our rights in northern
Atlantic and Pacific waters is urged.
-The executive suggests that power
be delegated him to retaliate against
governments unfriendly to American
products. - The president is of the
opinion that a better understanding
should be arrived at with our neigh
bor. Mexico.- He does not hesitate in
recognizing the government of Gen
eral Iglesias, He believes that
charges of fraud under the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty have been magni
fied, and. does not favor entire cessa
tion of our treat- relations with that
kingdom. Legations have been es
tablished at a number of Asiatic
courts, in pursuance of a policy ex
tending our relations with eastern
countries. The message discourages
the transference of American capital
to China; it states that China will
probably co-operate with the United
States government in the suppression
of restriction act frauds.- It recom
mends that delegates bo sent to an
international social and scientific
convention. It recommends that the
large and increasing surplus revenue
of the United Stales be employed in
increasing our navy. --Comptroller
Knox's recommendations in regard to
national bank circulation are indorsed.-
The president recommends
that the trade dollars be purchased
by the mints at a small percentage
above the market price of silver.
Indian troubles are pronounced a
thing of the past- -The importance
of the need of harbor defense is
urjied upon Congress. .National en
couragement of stale militia is sug
gested. The construction of new
nav:d vessels is described and ap
proved. The president recommend5?
that "drop1' letters be delivered for
one cent, and predicts that such ac
tion would occasion but slight and
temporary loss to the revenues of the
postofiice. He discourages the postal
telegraph scheme, but suggests that
the postofiice department might con
tract with private corporations for
the carriage and deliver' of postal
messages. He advises a revision of
the statutes regulating the salaries
and fees of officers and witnesses of
federal courts. Stronger laws against
land and pension frauds are earnestly
urged.- Attention is called U) the
deplorably large percentage of illiter
acy in some sections. The execu
tive is of the belief th.it stringent
measures against polygamy are im
perative; he favors entire political
control of Utah by congress, and rec
ommendsithe repeal of existing laws,
which experience has demonstrated
are futile. Legislation for the pre
vention and cure of cattle diseases is
urged. The president believes that
tha people of Alaska have been shame
fully neglected, and urges congress to
give that territory civil government.
On the subject of railroad tarhT he
says:
Complaints have lately been loud
and urgent that certain corporations
controlling in whole or in part the
facilities for inter-state carriage of
lersons and merchandise upon the
great railroads of the country have
resorted in their dealings with the
public to measures unjust and op
pressive in their character. In some
instances the state governments have
attacked and suppressed these evils,
but in others they have been unable
to afford adequate relief because of
the jurisdictional limitations which
are imposed on them by federal cor
poration. The question of how far
the national government may lawfully
interfere in the premises, and what,
if any, supervision or control it ought
to exercise, is one which merits your
careful consideration. While we can
not fail to recognize the importance
of the vast railway system of the
country, and their great and benefi
cent influences upon the development
of our material wealth, we should, on
the other hand, remember that no in
dividual and no corporation ought to
be vested with absolute power over all
of the interests of other citizens or
class of citizens. The right of rail
way corporations to demand any
profitable return upon their invest
meutsand to reasonable freedom in
their regulations must be recognized,
but it seems only just so far as its
constitutional authority will permit,
that congress should protect the peo
ple at large in their inter-state traffic
against acts of injustice, which the
state governments are powerless to
prevent.
Starllins Probabilities,
It is estimated that the United
States will contain 150,000,000 inhab
itants fifty years hence. The natural
increase of population as judged by
the tables of the past, in conjunction
with the swelling tide of immigra
tion from Europe, will accomplish
this marvel of national growth. When
future historians record the fact that
the American colonies, with 3,000,000
people, developed into a republic of
150,000,000 in a century and a half it
will read like a tale of the Arabian
Nights. Rome at its zenith had no
such population, nor one so homo
geuous in language, spirit intelli
gence and aspiration. This will be
the mightiest republic of all history
Figures alone fail to convey an ade
quate idea of its probable vastness
and power. Its population will be
equal to that of the German Empire,
France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,
Italy and Austria combined. It will
be a match in war for the whole of
Europe, or any other quarter of the
globe. In the achievements of peace
it promises to excel any nation ex
tant, or that ever rose to wealth and
splendor.
There is a point, however, beyond
"wincn growtn of population can not
pass without proving a curse. China
would be a stronger nation to-day
with half her present population,
and with a more general diffusion ot
wealth and intelligence. When hu
man beings become bo thick that they
must herd in cellars like animals or
dwell on rafts on the water, like rats
or beavers, and when law makers can
i longer treat infanticide as a
crime, tnen tne limit or. neauny
growth has passed. Density of popu
lation is now no longer a source of
strength, but of weakness and alarm.
Lord Bacon commends the plan of
Henry YIL, "to maintain such
a proportion of land that it
may breed a subject to live in
convenient plenty, and in no servile
condition; and not to keep the plow in
the hands of hirelings." This is the
true theory, and should not be for
gotten when the imagination is fired
by the panorama of national grandeur
soon to be presented on this conti
nent, for if our nation is destined to
exceed any nation of Europe in popu
lation, its cities will also attain unex
ampled size. Is there any danger that
we shall soon begin to have too many
people?
A glance at statistics indicates that
the time for such forebodings is yet
remote. In no country of Europe is
there more general content and pros
perity than in France, and yet if the
area of the United States were as
denselv settled as that of France there
wouldbe room here for GSO.OOO.OOO
neonle. Extensive regions of the Pa
cific coast are as yet not adapted for
agricultural pursuits, but they can be
rendered rich and fruitful by irriga
tion, and they abound in mineral de
nosits of oven' description, iron in
cluded, which would afford employ
ment and support to large popula
tions. When Alaska has been peo
pled, and the main portion of the
Union becomes somewhat crowded,
Canada, Mexico and South America
offer suitable outlets. 13y that time
European immigration will have
probably ceased, or have become in
significant When tne poorer classes
of Europe are offered quite as attrac
tive inducements to remain at home
as to immigrate to this country, they
will prefer to remain at home, lie
markable political changes will be in
evitable in Europe if this country
continues to advance to its great des
tinies without civil war of representa
tive government.
Writing from Ellensburg, Oregon,
a correspondent says: We are m
formed that Messrs. Miller and
Lake of Checto have made a heavy
catch of salmon in that stream the
past few weeks, and are still doing
well; there has also been plenty of
salmon in Rogue river ever since the
cannery shut down.
