within a few years. Fortunately too many
manufactures are not coniided TO few locali-

they will become more aud more dfTused, max
ing the interest in them equal in all sections.
They give employment to hundreds and thous-
ands o: people at home, and retain with us
means which otherwise would be shipped
abroad. The extension of railroads in Europe
and the East is bringing into competition with
our agricultural produce those of other coun-
tries. Sclf-interest, if not self-preseryatiou,
therefore, declares in favor of antion against
disturbing any industrial interests of the coun-
try. 1t teaches us also the necessity of look
ing to her markets for the sale of our surplus.
ASIAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN RELATIONS.
Our neighbors south of the United Stntes
and China and Japan, should receive special
attention. 1t will be the endeavor of my Ad-
ministration to cultivate such relations with
oil the nations as to be entitled to their CONF
dence and make them interested; as will esta-
hlish better commercial relations through the
agency of n more enlightened policy than that
heretofore pursued toward China. 1t is due to
the etfoits Of one of our distinguished citizens
that the world is about TO commence largely
increased relations with the populous and
hitherto exclusive nation. AS the United
States have been the initiators of the policy
they should be the most earnest in showing
their good faith and making it a success. In
this connection, ! advise such legislation
as will forever preclude the enslavemcnt of the
Chinese upon our own soil under the name Of
coolies, and to prevent American vessels from
engaging in the transportation of coolies to
any country, or to'crating the system. also

THE OBJECT OF snE ADMINISTRATION.
On my assuming1he responsibilities of Chief
Magistrate of the United States, it was with
the conviction that three things were essential
to its peace and prosperity, and to the fullest
development. First among these is strict in
tegrty in fulfilling our obligations; second to
secure protection to the person and property
of the citizen of ou: common country, where
ever lie may chance to move, without reference
to original nationality, religion, color or poll
tics, demanding of him obedience to the laws
and n proper respect for the right Of others !;
third, the union of all the States with rights in
disputable by any but Constitutional means.
To secure the first Of these, Congress has TAX
en- two essential steps in declaring by joint res
olution that the public debt should be paid,
principal and interests, in coin. Second, by
providing the means for paying the principal
