MANUFACTURES.
Our manufactures arc increasing
with wonderful rapidity under the
encouragement which they now
receive. With the Improvement
in machinery already objected
and 8 till increasing, causing
machinery to take tho place Of
skilled labor to u large extent, our
imports Of many articles must fall
Oft largely within u few years.
Fortunately, too, manufactures
arc not confined 10 few localities
rs formerly, and it is to be hoped
will become more ditfuscd, making
tho interest in thcm equal in al
sections. They give employment
and support to hundreds Of thous-
ands Of people at home, and retain
with us tho means which othcr-
wise would be shipped abroad.
The extension OF railroads in
Europe and the Eust is bringing
into competition with our agricuI.
tural products like products of
other countries. Selc-intcrcst, if
not sclfprcscrvation, therefore,
dictates caution against disturbing
any industrial interests of the
country. 1t teaches also tho nc
cessity Of looking to othcr market
for tho sale of our surplus. Our
neighbors South Of us. and China
and Japan should receive our spe-
cial attention. Tt will be tho on
deavor Of the administration to
cultivate such relations with all
these nations as to entitlc us to
their confidence and mako it to
their interest rs we'll rs to ours to
establish better commercial rela.

Through the agency Of a moro
enlightened policy than heretofore
pursued . towards China-largcly
duo to tho sagacily and efforts Of
one Of our own distinguished citi-
zcas-thc world is about TO com
mencc largely increased relations
"ith that populous and hitherto
exclusive nation. AS the United
States have been the initiators in
this now policy, so they should be
the most earnest in showing their
good faith in making il Il success.
In this connection, | advise such
legislation rs will forever preclude
the ena'avcmcnt Of tho Chinese
upon our soil under namc Of Coo
lies; and also prevent American
vessels from engaging in tho trans
portation Of Coolies to any coun-
try, tolcrating the system. l also
recommend that tho mission to
China be raised to one Of the first
class.
DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
On my assuming the RESPONSE
bio duties Of Chief Magistrate Of
the United States, it was with the
conviction that three things wore
essential to its peace, prosperity
and fullest development; first
among these is strict integrity
in fulfilling all our obligations
second, to secure protection to tho
person and property Of the citi-
zen Of tho United States, in each
and every portion Of our common
country, wherever he may choose
to move without reference to origi-
nal nationality, religion, color, or
politics, demanding Of him only
obedience TO the laws, and proper
respect for tho rights of othcrs !;
third, union Of all the States, with
equal rights indcstructiblc by any
constitutional means. TO secure
the first Of these, Congress has
taken two essential steps first, in
declaring by joint resolution, that
tho public debt shall bc paid, prin-
cipal and interest, In coin ) and
second, by providing the means
for paying. Providing the means,
however, could not secure the Oh.
jcct desired without n proper adj
ministration Of tho law, for the
collection ofrcvcnucs and an econ.
omical disbursement Of them. TO
this subject the Administration
has most earnestly Iy addressed itself
with results, 1 hope, satisfactory
to the country. There has boon
no hesitation in changing officials
in order to secure an efficient oxo.
ention Of tho laws; sometimes too,
whore, in a mere party view, un-
desirable political results were
likely to follow; nor any hesitation
in sustaining efficient officials
against rcmonstranoos, wholly po-
litical.
