interest and the permanent industry of
our people. 1t is to the abundance of
agricultural production, as compared
with our home consumption, and the
largely increased and highly profitable
market abroad which we have enjoyed
in recent years, that we are mainly in
|debted for our present prosperity as a
people. We must look for it's contin-
ued maintenance to the same substan-
tial resource. There is no branch of
industry in which labor, directed by
scientific knowledge, yields such in
creased production in comparison with
unskilled labor, and no branch of the
public service to which the encourage
ment of liberal appropriations can be
more appropriately extended. The
omission to render such aid is not a
wise economy; but, on the contrary,
undoubtedly results in losses of i'm
mense sums annually that might be
saved through well-directed efforts by
the government to promote this vital
interest. The results already accom-
plished with the very limited means
heretofore placed at the command of
the department of agriculture is an
earnest of what may be expected with
increased appropriations for the sever
al purposes indicated in the report of
the commissioner, with a view to plac-
ing the department upon a footing
which will enable it to prosecute more
effectively the objects for which it is
established. Appropriations are need
ed for more complete laboratory, for
the establishment of a veterinary divis-
ion, and a division of forestry, and for
an increase of force. The requirements
for these and other purposes, indicated
in the report of the commissioner under
the head of the immediate necessities
OF the department, will not involve any
expenditure Of money that the cOun-
try cannot with prOpriety now under
take In the interests of agriculture.
1t is gratifying to learn from the bu-
reau OF education the extent to which
educational privileges throughout the
United States have been advanced dur
ing the past year. No more funda-
mental responsibility rests upon Con-
gress than that of devising appropriate
measures of financial aid to education,
supplemental to local action in the
states and territories, and in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The wise fore
OhouSH1 VI Iuo IOuuucIS Vi our SONcIu-
ment has not only furnished the basis
for the support of the common school
systems of the newer states, but laid
the foundations for the maintenance of
their universities and colleges of agri-
culture and the mechanic arts. Meas
ures in accordance with this traditional
policy for the benefit of all these inter-
ests, and the extension of the same
advantages to every portion of the
country, it is hoped, will receive your
favorable consideration.

The Presidents Message.
IEXtractSl

Extracts.
FellOU CitiSens of the Senate and House
Of Representatives
The members of the 10th Congress
have assembled in their first regular
session under circumstances calling for
mutual cOngratulation and grateful ac-
acknowledgements to the Giver of all good
for the large and unusual measure of
national prosperity which we now en-
joy.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The most interesting events which
have Occure ed in our public affairs since
my last annual message to Congress are
connected with the financial operations
of the government directly affecting the
business interests of the country. con-
graduate Congress on the successful
execution of the resumption act. At the
time fixed, and in the manner cOntem-
plated by law, United States notes be-
gan to be redeemed in coin. Since the
LIST of January last they have been
promptly redeemed on presentation,
and in all business transactions, public
and private, in all parts of the country,
they are received and paid out as the
equivalent of coin. The demand upon
the treasury for gold and silver in ex-
change for United States notes has been
comparatively small, and the voluntary
deposit of coin and bullion in exchange
for notes has been very large. The ex-
cess of the precious metals deposited or
exchanged for United States notes over
the amount of United States notes re-
deemed is about $40,0OO,0OO
BUSINESS REVIVAL AND REFUNDING.
The resumption of specie payments
has been followed by very great Ie-
vival of business. With "a currency
equivalent in value to the money of the
commercial world, we are enabled to
enter upon an equal competition with
other nations in trade and production.
The increasing foreign demand for our
manufacturers and agricultural products
has caused large balance of trade i'm
our favor, which has been paid in gold,
from the 1st of July last, to November
Is, to the amount of about S59, 900, 600.
Since the resumption of specie paw
ments there has also been marked and
gratifying Improvement of the public
credit. The bonds of the government
bearing only four per cent interest have
been sold at or above par, sufficient in
amount to pay off all of the national
debt, which was redeemabe under
present laws. The amount of interest
saved annually by the process of refund
ing the debt, since March l, 1877, is
S14, 297 III. The bonds sold were
largely in small sums, and the number
OF our citizens now holding the public
securities is much greater than ever be-
fore. The amount of the national debt
which natures within less than two
years is $780,, l2l 200, of which $780,
100000 bear interest at the rate of per
cent, and the balance is in bonds bear
lug per cent interest. 1t is believed
that this part of the public debt can be
refunded by the issue of A per cent
bonds, and by the reduction of interest

The Message.

We give this week copious extracts
from President Hayes last message.
it is document that will commend it
self very generally to the reader.
President Hayes administration is one
that improves on acquaintance, and We
believe our President stands well with
the people, and will be respected by
them long after his traducers are for
gotten.
The message was stolen by some un-
principled person and peddled out to
the newspapers for a consideration, in
advance of its delivery to Congress.
The city dailies had it Monday morn
ing. This act was breach of faith,
and we regret that there is not more
honor in the press than to buy the mes
sage of such peridious fellow.

The Lost Ploof Girl.

The Richford Gazette says: The sup
posed clue at Hardyick turns out to be
of no Importance. Upon investigation
it proved to be man by the name of
Charles Guilder, shiftless, rowing
character from Sutton, VT, who was
travelling on foot, and had with him his
little child of three years. 1t would
seem that every resource had been ex-
hausted in attempting to find the child,
and the only course left is for a party
with good dogs to spend day in the
vicinity where the child disappeared,
in the hopes that if the little ones re-
mains are in the woods, they may he
found by tracing animals that will nat
urally seek out the remains for the pnr-
pose of feeding upon them.
