At noon today. The entire document
contains about twenty thousand worn

ro'ailons saying In part: While our for

shnu'd be accomplished under distinct

ment assured not ouly to the vessels of
this country but the ships of tbo world.
HAWAII.
It Is hardly necessary for me to slate
that tbe questions arising from our rota
tions with Hawaii have caused serious
embarassment. Just prior to the in
stallation of the present administration
the existing government of Hawaii had
been suddenly overthrown, and a treaty
of annexation had been negotiated be
tween the provisional government of
the island and the United States and
submitted to tbe senate for ratification.
Thla treatv I withdrew for examina
tion and dispatched Hob. James H.
Blount, of Georgia, to Honolulu, ns a
special commissioner to make an im
partial investigation of the circum
stances attending the change of govern
raent and of all conditions bearing up
on the subject of the - treaty. After n
thorough and exhaustive examination
Mr. Blount submitted to me bis report
showing beyond all question that tbe
constitutional government or Hawaii
had been subverted with the active aid
of our representative to that govern
ment and through the intimidation
caused by tbe presence of an armed
naval firoe of the United Statre whloh
was lauded for that purpose at the In
stance of our minister.
Upon the facta developed It seemed
to me that the only honorable courso
for our government to pursue was to
undo the wrong that had been done
hv those representing us and to restore,
us far as practicable, the stand existing
at the time of our forcible intervention.
With a view of accomplishing this re
sult within the constitutional limits of
executive power, and recognizing all
nnr nhllimtlona and responsibilities
growing out of any changes in condi
tions brought- auoui uy yur uujusuu
able interference, our present minister
at Honolulu bas received appropriate
Instructions to that end. Thus far no
it.furmation of the accomplishment of
any definite results has been received
from him. Additional advices are
h'mui expected When received they
will be promptly sent to congress to
gether with all other Information at
i.,.nil. nocomnunled by a special execu
tive message fully detailing tbe acts

OUR REVENUES.
The Hpcrninrv of tbo treasury renrta
that tbe receipts of the government
from all sources during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1893, amounted to $401,
710,501,04 and its expenditures to $469,-
374 074.20. Tuero was coiieotcn irom
customs $200,3o5,010 75 and from inter
national revenues $101,027,623.93. It Is
estimated upon the basis of presont rev
enue laws that the receipts of the gov-.
ernment for the year ending Juno 30,
1894, will be $430,121,305.88 and tts ex
penditures $458,121,365 38,reaulttng in a
deficiency of $28,000,000.
MONEY IN CIROUIiATIOn.
On tbe first day of November 1893
the amount pf money of all kinds In
circulation or not Included in treasury
holdings was $1,718,644,682, an Increase
for the year of $112,404,945. Estimat
ing our population at 07,420,000 at tbe
time mentioned tbe per capita circula
tion was $25.49.
SILVER LEGISLATION.
The recent repeal of the provision of
law, requiring the purchase orsuv r
bullion by tbo tcovernment as a feature
of our monetary scheme, makes a
change in the comploxion of our cur
rency affairs. I do not doubt that the
ultimate result of this not will be most
salutary and far-reaching,
In the nature of things, however, It
is impossible to know at this time, pre
cisely what conditions will be brought
abotit by the change or what, If any,
supplementary legislation may In the
light of bucIi conditions appear to bo es
sential or expedient Of course, after
the recent financial perturbation, tlmo
is necessary for tho re-establlsbmcnt of
business confidence. When, however,
through this restored confidence tbe
money which has been frightened Into
bldlug places is returned totradoand
pntomrlse. a survey of tbo situation will
probably disclose a safe path, leading to
a permanently sound aud abundant
currency.
COAST DEFENCES AND FORTS,
Tho message says: It Is gratifying
to note that we havo begun to attain
completed results in the comprehensive
scheme of sea coast defence and fortifl
cillona entered upon eight ytors ago.
AUAINST THE FEB SYSTEM.
I cauuot too heartily indorse the
proposition, says tho president, that the

sation of United States attorneys, mar
shals, clerks of federal courts, aud Unl

Justice will allow. The system Is there

action of legislation there was sent out
from tho agricultural deportment dur
ing the last fiscal year nlue million
paokagea of flowers and vegetable seeds
and tbey were sufficient, if planted, to
cover 89,505 acres of land.
THE PENSIONS.
On tbe 30th day of Juue, 1893, there
wero on the. pension rolls 900,012
names, an increase of 88,044 over the
number on tbo rolls Juno 80, 1802. The
number added to tbe ro a during tue
vear was 123.034 and the uumber
dropped was 84,090j tho discovery hav
ing beon made that many names nau
been put upon the pension roll by
means of wholesale and gigantic fraudr.
The commissioner suspended payments
upon a uumber or pensions wuiou seem

might have an opportunity to establish,

FBE8 KAW MATERIALS.
This cannot be while federal legisla
tion through the imposition of a high
tariff forbids to Amorlcan rnannfaetar
era as cheap materials as those ueed by
their comp tltlou. It Is quite obvloea
that tho enhancement .of tho price of
our manufactured products resulting
from thin nnltov not oulv confines the
market for these products within our
own borders to the direct disadvantage
of our manufacturers nut also mcroauea
their cost to our citizens. The inter
ests of labor are certainly though Indi
rectly Invovid lu thla feature or our
tariff system. Even If the often dis
proved assertion could bo made good,
that a lower rato of wages would result
from free raw material and low tariff,
duties, tho Intelligence of our working
men leads them .quickly to dUcover
that their eteady employment if per
mitted by free material, Is the most
important factor In their relation to
tariff legislation.
