THE PROSRAMME FOR TO-DAY
The Subjects which the President
In His Message Will Lay Before
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.
The Presidents Message and Sec
rotary Folger's report will be submit
ted to Congress as soon as it assem-
bles. Every precaution has been taken
to prevent the publication of these
documents in advance. The Presi
dents Message, it is understood, will
open with appropriate references to
the death of the late President Gar
field. It's most important section
will be recommendation that
bank checks, bank capital, and
deposits, medicines, perfumery and
all articles upon which internal
tax is levied, excepting whis-
key, cigars and manufactured tobacco,
be relieved of taxation. If this re-
commentator is adopted, it will re-
suit in saving OF about $16,000,0OO
per annum paid by the people into
the Treasury. The Mormon question
will be probably discussed much In
the same line as by General Arthurs
predecessors.
he has derived his information on the
Mormon question from the best OF
sources and whatever suggestions may
be made in the Message Will be of a
Character upon legislation can safely be
based. Secretary Folger's Report will,
1t IS believed meet the approval OF the
most conservative tiuanciefs OF the coun-
try. He agrees with The Presidents
views as to The necessity for abolishing
some OF the internal taxes. His policy
would be TO pay oil the continued SIX
per cent. bonds from the surplus reye-
nues as rapidly as possible. Secretary
Folgers opposed to any change In lie
Old custom of the department requiring
reserve OF forty Per cent. OF the OUT
standing legal tender obligations OF the
Government to be preserved. Tic
coinage of The silver 60 lars, Nj. Folger
thinks should be suspended for the pres
ent.
