and it is to be hoped will become
more and more diffused among the

employment and support to hun
dreds of thousands of people at

which otherwise would be shipped
abroad. The extension of railroads
in Europe and the east is bringing
into competition with our agricult-
raj pro lucts, like products of other
countries self-interest if not self
preservation, therefore, dictates eau
ton against disturbing any indus
trial interest of the country; it
teaches as also, the necessity of
looking to other markets for the
sale of our surplus. Our neighbors
South of US, and China and Japan
should receive our special attention.
1t will be the endeavor of the Ad-
ministration to cultivate such rela-

| title US to their confidence, to make
it their interest as well as ours to es-
tablish commercial relations through
the agency of a more enlightened
policy than that heretofore pursued
towards China is largely due to the

tinguished citizens. The world is
about commence largely increased
relations with that populous and
hitherto exclusive nation; as the
Nnited States have been the inia-
tory in the new policy it should be
the most earnest in showing their
good faith in making it success in

unconstitutional means to secure
the first Of these. Congress has
taken two essential steps, first, in
declaring by joint resolution that
that the public debt should be paid
principal and interest, in coin; sec
ond. by providing mems for pay
ing, providing them means, how
ever, could not secure the object
desired without proper administra-
ton of the laws, for the collection
of revenues and economical dis
bursement of them. To this subjet
the administration has most eff

suits, I brlieve, are satisfactory to
the country. There has been nc
hesitation in changing officials nj
order to secure sufficient execution
Of the laws; sometimes, too, where
in mere party view, indescribable
political rules were likely to follow
for any hesitation in sustaining eff
cient officials against remonstrances
wholly political; it may be well tc
mention here that embarrassment
possible to arise from leaving OF
the statute book the so called tenure

mend their total report. 1t coult
