EThe message of President Arthur
is q document of formidable length,
which goes very thoroughly over all the
subjects of interest connected with the
various departments of the govern
ment. 1t opens with a very appropri-
ate reference to the late president.
Our foreign relations are touched upon
at some length, the various coun-
tries with which we have treaties being
noticed. Concerning the Isthmian Ca
nal, the President expresses his APPROX
al of the vigorous policy of his prede-
cessor. Our foreign commerce, the in
ternational sanitary congress- of 1879,
and the work of the National Board Of
health are alluded TO. Concerning the
national finances, a statement of reve-
nues and expenditures is made, show
ing total ofreceipts of $500, 49,, 292 81 /;
total expenditures, $26o,712,SS7 so.
The retirement of the silver certificates
and q repeal of the act for the coinage
OF q fixed amount of silver monthly is
recommended. The revenue from GUS
toms for the past fiscal year was $685.

total revenue from these sources o.
Slss, O5s 700. The refunding opera
tons of the past year are recited, ant
the president considers that no legisla
ton concerning the three and one-hal
DER cent bonds is desirable unless they
can be refunded at much lower rate
OF interest. The abolition Of all inter
nal revenue taxes, except those upoi
tobacco and distilled spirits and fer
msnted liquors is recommended. A
committee for the revision of the tarif
laws Is suggested. The increase o
the army to thirty thousand men is ad
vised; also the separate organization o
the signal service. A strong plea L
made for strengthening the navy. A

EPres. Arthur neglected a splendid
chance to make q big speculation by
selling advance copies of his message
to the enterprising dailies. They
were ready to pay heavy prices for it.
A president who doesn't represent the
great American idea of money making
better than this casts the first doubts
upon his nativity. lie must have been
born upon some foreign shore. We
commend the idea to the Montpelier
Argus to work up.
