THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE, REPEAL OF
THE DISTRIBUTION LAW, INCREASE OF

TARIFF.
The Message which the President sent to Congress
on Friday is the most important document OF the ses-
sion, recommending as it does the undoing OF one
half the work performed by the extra session. and the
imposition of increased tariff duties and the estab-
lishment of fifteen million fund, with the public do
main pledged to redeem it. The National Treasury
it is well known is in most destitute condition. The
United States government already fourteen millions
of dollars in debt and to look for from
the present revenue system to meet its Liabilities
The ordinary expenses of government are necessarily
increasing with the growth of country and population
and our national defences require immediate ex-
traordinary outlay to place them such order as the
exgencies of the times demand Such condition
of its financial affairs must necessarily embTrass the
operations Of government and unless meets the crl-
sis with boldness and decision, the country VIII be
plunged into such difficulties it will be inadequate
to extricate itself from. The Loan Bill now before
Congress will not meet the wants of the government
by two millions and half of dollars, in addition to
which there should be always in the Treasury to meet
contingent demands the sum of about two millions
of dollars. The President frankly gives his views OF
the course necessary to be pursued. The first re-
commentator of repeating the law for distributing
public lands among the several States, will necessari-
ly have to be adopted 1t is idle for to talk
of giving gratutes to others, when 1t cannot support
itself without borrowing. The tariff must also be in
creased this be done without recognising the
principle of protecting particular interests at the ex-
pense Of all others In the country, principle so IN
furious and unjust to the interests which do not ask
government protection, and which would defeat the
very object of a by diminishing the impor-
atons from which it is to be derived. 1t is necessa-
ry that something should be done and that promptly
or the credit Of the government will sink low that
it will be impossible to carry it on. All parties should
unite upon this point the necessity of preserving the
public credit and yet faction is apt to predominant
in public councils that it is doubtful whether any
remedy against the threatened evil will be provided

THE TIMES

We are all of too apt to think the times peculiar,
ana there are many persons who are always carried
away with the present state of things II affairs 90
well, they think the golden age is coming; if ill., then
destruction at hand We do not blame people for
feeling somewhat dsheartened at the dull state of bu
sness which exists at present yet it would be quite
unwse and incorrect to suppose that great calsnites
before business men, or that the day of steady
prosperity will never return There has been in fact
good degree of prosperity among who have had
sound of doing business for two three years
past and it certainly not unreasonable to expect
still better business this Spring Few men per-
ceived that there any over action last Fall The
result has proved however, that too many goods
sold, and the of the country too much
hausted. So small excess would not have been
felt in great Bank times for it would have been hand
ed over to future years. But there is now no such
thing as throwing burthens upon futury, or putting
evil days off, The change is chiefly with the Banks.
Formerly they would, at such emergency, have
loaned the merchants of the country the money which
necessary, receiving it back when the canals
open and the produce brought to market Except
much carried still farther forward Loans
would have taken the place of actual sales of produce
Business would not have been made larger in the
whole, by this but it would have been kept in motion.
But the Banks have not the power to fill the
CUM, and the merchants must therefore get it
without help and stand in the gap themselves The
city Banks might lend more freely, had not the stag
nation of business impaired cor fdence, that they
reject paper which would stand undoubted, if only bu
sness were going smoothly on. The city Banks ale
getting very strong. Their specie on hand is now
almost fifty per cent greater than the first of Janu
airy, and in the absence, of all foreign demand, will
continue to accumulate. In few weeks money must
of necessity be plenty, for the Banks and individuals
will have great power to lend and when the produce
in from the country and debts paid by its
proceeds, then the necessity for borrowing will be
ry much diminished. Importatons for the next half
year must of necessity be small, that the rates of
foreign exchanges will remain in favor. We
shall find by and by that in the Free Trade style in
which affairs now conducted, the business of eve
~ year settled for the year. and not CARR over to
the next and then with larger accumulatons to the
next until the becomes too heavy to be kept up
and so falls and brushes all beneath it, The of
trade not covered up, but corrected We
shall find it in the present Instead Of the tel
ing anything of the laws which govern trade we shall
soon find business restored to activity and going on
with increased vigor.
