THE DAILY ASTORIA , ASTORIA, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, 1891 nn AM President's Advice and Recom mendation to Congress. IT IS NOTHING SENSATIONAL, Secrutary Carlisle's Scheme of Fi nance Endorsed by the President. Associated Press. Washington, Deo. 3. Tha president today sent his annual message to con greai. The message treats at length of the relatione of the United States with foreign nations, and says: "Our peaceful relations with them ail this time demonstrates the advantage of consistently adhering to a firm but Just foreign policy, free from envious or ambitious national schemes, and characterized by en tire honesty and sin cerity. A gratifying recognition for the uniform impartiality of this country towards all foreign states waa mani fested by the coincident request of the Chinese and Japanese governments that the agents for the United States should within proper limit afford protection to 'the subjects for suspension of dlplO' matlc relations during the state of war. Thla delicate office was accepted, and ainld apprehensions which gave rise to the belief that in affording this kind ly unofilclal protection our agent3 would exercise the same authority which the withdrawn agents for the belllgenents had exercised, was promptly corrected. Although the war between China and Japan endangers no policy for the United States It deserves our gravest cosslderaKlon by reason of its disturb ance of our growing commercial inter in the two countries, and the in croascd dangers which may result to our citizens domiciled or sojourning m the interior of China. Acting under a stipulation in our treaty with Korsa, C:he first concluded with a western power) I felt constrained at the begin n!ng of the controversy to tender our good offices to induce an amicable ar rangement of the Initial difficulty grow ing, out of the Japanese demands for administrative reforms In Korea, but the unhappy precipitation of actual hos tilities defeated this kindly purpose. De ploring the destructive war between the two most powerful of 'the eastern natlon3, and anxious that our commer cial interests in those countries may be preserved, and that the safety of our citizens shall not 'be Jeopardized, I would not hesitate to heed any intl mati'in that our friendly aid for the honorable termination of hostilities would be acceptable to both belliger ents. Of the Hawaiian question, the presi dent says: "Since conurounloai'.lng the voluminous correspondence In regard to Hawaii and the action taken by the senate and house of representatives on certain questions, submitted to the Judgment and wiser discretion of con Ki'S38, the organization of a govern ment in place of the provisional ar rangement which followed the deposi tion of the queen has been announced, with evidence of its effective operation, The recognition usual in such cases lias been accorded the new govern ment." Speaking of 'the army, the president says: "While no considerable increase in the army is in my judgment de manded by recent events, the policy of the sea coaat fortifications in prose cution of which we have been steadily engaged for some years, has so far developed as to suggest that the effective strength of the army be now made at least equal to the legal strength. It is hardly necessary to re. call the fact that in obedience to the commands of the constitution and the Hws, and the purpose of protecting the property of the United States, aid ing the process of the federal courts, and removing lawless obstructions to the performance by the government of its legitimate functions, it became ne cessary in various localities during the year to employ a considerable portion of the regular troops. The duty was discharged promptly, courageously, and with marked discretion by the officers and men, and the most gratifying proof was thu3 afforded that the army de serve that complete confidence in its efficiency acd discipline which the coun try has at all times manifested. Referring to the national guard, the president says: "The reports of militia Inspection by the regular army officers show a marked Increase In interest and efficiency In state organizations, and 1 strongly recommend a continuance of the policy of affording every practical encouragement possible to this import ant auxiliary of our military estab lishment." 2n regard to the distinguished milita ry gfcrvlcs of Major General Schofleld, commsniling the army, the president says: 'Jt Is suggested to congress that the temporary revival of the grade of lieutenant general In his behalf would be a Just and gracious act and would permit bis retirement now near at band with a rank befitting his merits." "Another sulject of pressing moment, says the president,-"referred to by th attorney general is the reorganization of the Union Pacific Railway Company on a basis equitable as regards all pri vate Interest and as favorable to the government as existing conditions will penr.it. The operation of a railroad by a cjurt through a elver, is an anom alocs state cf ithlng which should be terminated on all grounds, public and private, at tie earliest possible mo .. .. ... . enabling legislation at the present see sion postpones the whole matter until the assembling of a new congress, and will inevltaibly increase all the compli cations of the situation, and could not but be regarded as a signal failure to solve the problem which has practically been -before the present congress ever since its organization." I ne president: renews nis recommen- daition for the location and construction of two prisons for the connnemem 01 United Slates prisoners. "To obviate the defflcdency existing In the postofflce appropriation tne pres- ent rate should be raised on second- olass matlter. Terms from time to time have admitted to the privileges intend- ed for legitimate newspapers and per- lodicals a surprising range of publica- Hons, and created anuses, tne cost 01 which amount in the aggregate to the total deficiency of the postofflce depart- ment. Pretended newspapers are start- ed by a busing house for tne mere purpose of advertising gooas, comply- ing with the law in rorm oniy, anu discontinuing the publication as soon as the period of advertising Is over. ment. Besides, not to enact tne neeaea The paper covered literature consisting amendments if it is to be executed ef mainly of trashy novels novels to the fectlvely and with certainty. In addl- extent of many thousands of tons is sent through the malls at one cent per pound, while the publishers of standard works are required to pay eight times that amount in sending their publica- tlons. An abuse consists in the free carriage through the malls of hundreds of tons of seed and grain uselessly dls- trlbuted through the department of ag- rlculture. The postmaster general pre. diets that If the law be so amended as to eradicate their abuses, not only will the postofflce department ndt Bhow a deficiency, but he believes that In the near future all legitimate newspapers and periodical magazines will be prop- erly transmitted through the malls their subscribers free of cost. The president agrees with the attor- ney general that an additional Judge of the circuit court of appeals in each circuit would greatly strengthen the court. Continuing, the message says: "The secretary of the treasury reports that the receipts of the government from all vftn.,B dnrin h fl.l year ending June 30, 1894, amount t0 1372,802,498.29, and Ms expenditures to $442,605,758.87, leaving a deficit of $69, 803,260.58. There was a decrease of $15, 952,674.66 in the ordinary expencea of tVio onvurnrnDtit ma nnmnarwl with the fiscal year 1893. The value of our total dutiable Imports amounted to $275,199,- ibeing $146,657,625 less than during1" ? ioTele,n rrying fade of the 068, the preceding year, and the importa tions free of duty amounted to $379,793,- r.i.r.

The total bounty paid upon the production of sugar in the United Sates for the fiscal year was $12,110,208. It is esti- mated Ithat uoon the 'basis of our pres- ent revenue laws, the receipts of the government during the current fiscal year ending Jun 30, 1S95, Will be $424, 427,746, and its expenditures, $444,427,748, resulting in a deficit of $20,000,000. On the first day of November, 1894, the to- tal stock of noney rtt .11 kinds in the I country was- $2,240,773,888, as against $2,204,651,000 on the first of November, 1893, and the money of all kinds ln cir culation not included ln the treasury holdings was $1,672,033,422, or $24.73 per capita upon an estimated population of 68,387,000. The president favors the construction of additional battle ships and torpedo boats for the navy. The subject of pen sions is treated at considerable length and among other things, he says: At the close of the last fiscal year on the 30th of June, 1894, there were 569,544 persons on our pension rolls, be- ber reported at the end of the previous year. The commissioner of pensions Is of the opinion that the year 1895, being the thirtieth year after the close of the war of the rebellion, must ac cording to all sensible human calcula tions, see the highest limit of the pen sion roll, and that after that year it muflt begin to decline. The names dropped, from the rolls for all causes during the year numfbered 37,951. Among our pensioners are nine widows and three daughters of soldiers of the revolutionary war, and forty-five sur vivors of the war of 1812. The accusa tion that an effort to detect pension frauds 1b evidence of unfriendliness to wards our worthy veterans, and a de nial of their claim to the generosity of ithe government suggests an unfortu nate indifference to the commission of an offense which has for a motive the securing of a pension, and indicates an unwillingness blind to the exist ence of mean and treacherous crimes, which play on demagogic fears, end make sport of the patriotic Impulse of a grateful people." A Urge part of the message is devot ed to the report of the secretary of agriculture, which deals extensively with the export of live stock from this country and the inspection of meats. There was a falling off in American exports of wheat of 13,700,000 bushels. and the secretary is inclined to believe that wheat may nut, in the future, be the staple export cereal product of our country, but that corn will continue to advance in importance as an export. on account of the new uses to which tt is constantly appropriated. The ex ports of agricultural product from tht United States for the fiscal year ending June Hh. 1894. amounted to' $028,383,038 being 7128 per cent of American exports of every description, and the United Kingdom ot Great Britain took more tnnn 54 per ot aI1 taTm products - finding foreign markets. A vast major ttjr ot the voters or the land, says the president, are ready Co Insist that the time and attention of thoBe they select to perform for them Important public duties should not be distracted by dol ing out minor offices, and Hhey-are growing to be unanimous regarding parity organization as something which ahoni& uaeH in establishing parly DrinoPles instead of dictating the dls- tribution of public places as rewards f0r partlzan activity. Numerous addi- tionai offices and other places have lately been brought within the civ service rules and regulations, and some others will probably soon be Included. Tn8 preSident recommends the estab- nshment of a national (board of health, ana n speaking of the strike commls- s0n says: "Their work has been well aone and tnelr banding and intelll sence gWe assurance that tht report ani Bueeations they make are worthy ot carefui consideration." 0n the sub1ect of the tariff, the pres- ldcn)t BCLya "The tariff act passed at the last I session of congress needs important tion to such necessary amendments as will not change the rates of duty, am still decidedly in favor of putting I coal and iron upon the free .list, and so far as the sugar schedule Is concerned, 1 1 would be glad under exlslting aggrava- tlons, to see every particle of differential duty in favor of refined sugsir strlcke out of our tariff law. If with all the favor now accorded the sugar refining interest in our tariff laws, It still lan Igulshes to the extent of closing refiner- lea and discharging thousands of work- men It would seem a hopeless case for reasonable legislation. Whatever else Is done or omitted, I earnestly repeat my recommendation that additional duty of one-tenth of cent per pound laid upon sugar imported from countries who pay a bounty on its export be abrogated. It seems to me that ex oeedlngly important considerations point to the propriety of this amendment With the advent of a new tariff policy not only oaluculated to relieve the con- 3umers of our land ln coat ot cnelr aaiW re, out invrtes a better de velopment of American thrift and ere- ite for the United States closer and more profitable commercial relations with the resJt of the world,' It follows. as a logical and Imperative necessity that we should at once remove the flef' 'f ntt the on'y oh3tclJ whk'h UAB du lung incveiiLuu uui ya.1 uuiJJauun sea, 'iiitti. iiH;ieui piuviHiuu 01 uur law, denying American registry to ships built abroad and owned by Americans, 5vhlcn aPPeara ln the "Sht of PreseIU onumonB noc only oe a Iallure 101 sood at every point, but to be more near'y a rell of -barbarism than any thlnSr tbat e!Cl9tS ""der PermIasIon ot 'he statute or tne uniteu biates, ano 1 earnestly recommend its prompt repeal Referring to the recent bond issue the President says that it is perfectly and paipaiuiy plain xnai xne oniy way under present conditions by which the reserve wnen "serou3ly uuu . e replenished Is through the Issue and ale of the bonds of the government for Sold, and yet congress has not only cftus Iar aecnnea 10 autnonze an issue ot bonds, best suited to such purpose, bult lthere Beems to be a disposition ln some quarters 10 ueuy uuiu iiie ne cessity and power for the lssue'of bonds it all.

At any raite, t ehould not feel that my duty was done", if I omitted any effort I could make to avert such a calamity. As long therefore, as no provision Is made for the final redemption or puiting side of currency obligations now used to repeatedly and constantly draw from the government Us gold, and as long hs no better authority for bond issues Is allowed than ait present exists, such authority will be-utilized whenever and is often as It becomes necessary to nalntaln a sufficient gold reserve, ifbundant to save the credit of our ountry and make good the financial hbltoatlon. ef our government. The president says In reference to the unsatisfactory features of our banking ind currency system, the absolute di vorcement of the government from the business of banking Is the Ideal rela- Ion?hIp of government to the circula tion of the currency of the country. rhls condition cannot be Immediately ,-eached, but as a step In that direction, md as a meins of securing a more elastic currency and obviating other bJedilons to the present arrargement f bank circulation, the ascrctary of the treasury presents In his report a pcheme modifying the present banking laws and providing for the issue of circulating notes by state banks fre? from taxa J011, under certain limitations. The jcretary explains his plan so plainly nd Its advantages are de-'eloped by him with such remarkable 'clearness, that any effort on my part to present an argument ln its support would be supeifluous. I shall therefore content .nyaelf with an unqualified endorse ment of his series of proposed changes in the law, and a brief and Imperfect statement of their prominent features. It is proposed to rfpeal all laws pro viding for the deposit of United States bonds as a security for circulation; to permit national banks to issue circulat ing notes not exceeding an amount 75 per cent of their paid up and unim paired capital provhled they deposit with the government as a guarantee fund In UniUd States legal tender notes. Including the treasury notes of VniO, a' sum of eial amount to 30 per cent of ihe notes they d-1r to Issue, this de posit to be maintained at all times, but whenever any bank retires any part of its circulation proportionate to the part of its guarantee fund shall.be re . i turned to it to permit the secretory of - ! the treasury to prepare and keep on linnd, ready for issue in case an 1 cre.ise in circulation is desired, blank national notes for each bank having circulation, and to repeal the provision of the present law Imposing limitation and restrictions, thus permitting such iiiL-reajse or reduction within the limit of 75 per cent of capital to be quickly made as emergencies arise. In addi tion to the guarantee fund required, It la proposed to provide a safety fund for the Immediate redemption of circu lating notes of failed banks by impos ing a small annual tax, say one-half of one per cent upon the average of each bank until the fund amounts to five per cent of the total circulation outstanding, when a bank fails its guarantee lund is to be paid into this safety fund, and its notes are to be iede,med in the first insUnce iron such safety fund thus augmented. Any impairment of such fund caused there by to be made good from immediately Available cash assets of said bunk, and if tnese should be Insufficient, such Im pairment 10 be made good by pro rata asiesjment among other tanks, tlit-lr contributions constituting a first uen upon tne assets of line failed bank in favor ot tneir untrHutlng bants, As further security it is contemplated that the existing provisions fixing the individual liaolii.ies of stock holders, Is to be retained, and a bank's indebted ness aouourntof lis circulating notes is to be made urst lien upon all us assets, j) or tne purpose of meeting the expenst of printing nones, oilk-ial supervision, cancellation and like charges, there shall be paid a tax of say one-half ot out per cent per annum, on the average a.nount of notes in circulation. It is lurcher provlutd that there shall be no naUonal bank nous issued of a less de nomination tliuu ten dollars. Another very Important feaiure of this plan Is Hi, exemption of state banks from tax ation by the Unhed States in caiies where it is shown to the satisfaction of the secretary of the treasury and comptroller of currency by banks claim- ing such exemption, that they havt not Had outstanding their circulating notes exceeding seventy per cent ot their paid up and unimpaired capital. riiat their stockholders are Individual- y liable for Ithe redemption of then uirjulatlng notes to the full extent jf their ownership of stock, and that the liability of tuld tanks upon their circulating notes constitutes under thel: silale law a first Hen upon their assets, 1'hat such banks have kept and man. coined a guarantee fund ln United dtates legal tender nd.es including the United States treasury notes of 1S90, equiil to 30 per cent of their outstanding irculating notes, and such banks have prompLly redeemed their circulating notes wnen presented at their principal or branch offices. It is quite likely that tills scheme may be usefully amended in some of Its details, but I am satis fied It furnishes a basis for very great Improvement ln our present banking nd currency system. I conclude this oommuilcuition fully appreciating that responaibiliy for all legislation affect ing tho people of the United Suites rests upon their representatives in con gress, and assuring them that whether in accordance with recommendations 1 ave made or not, I shall be glad to co-operate ln perfecting any legislation that tends to the prosperity and wel fare of our country."
