the tWtnty.iour States are Indicated III u table
which hold in my hand, prepared at my instance
IN the office of the Secretary of the Senate and 10
which any Senator may have access. The grounds
on which the extra allowance is made 10 the new
States are, first, their Complaint that all lands sold
by the Federal Government are FIVE years eXemp-
ted from State taxation; secondly, that it is to be
applied III such manner Will augment the value
of the unsold public lands within them; aud, last.
ly, their recent settlement.
1t may be recollected that bill passed both
Houses OF Congress, in the session which tertni-
mated on the 81 Of March, 1888 for the distlbu-
ton Of the amount received from the public lands,
upon the principles Of that now offered. The Pre-
sldent, IN his message at the commencement Of
the previous session, had specially invited the at.
ientlon OF Congress to the subject Of tie public
lands; had adyercd to their liberation from the
pledge for the payment OF the public debt; and
had ntimated his readiness to concur in any dis
posal OF them which might appear to Congress
most conducive 10 the quiet, harmony, and general
interest of the American People.
After such message, the Presidents disappro-
baton OF the bill could rot have been anticipated.
Ii was presented 10 him On tie % Of March, 1888.
1t was not returned as the Consultation requires,
but was retained by him aitcr the expiration OF his
official term, aud until the neat session of Con-
grCSs, winch had no power to act upon il. II was
understood and believed that, in anticipation Of
the passage OF the bill, tie President had prepared
objections 10 it, which be had intended 10 return
