iHE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
rIIR ATr FL ElsrINS

To the Congress Of the United States
Since the close Of your last session the Amer
lean people, in the exercise OF their highest
right of suffrage, have chosen their chief
magistrate for the four years ensuing. When
IL is remembered that at no period in the
country's history has the long political con-
test which customarily precedes the day of
the national election been wagcd with
greater fcrvor and intensity, it is n subject
of congratulation that after the controversy
ut the polls was over, and while the slight
prepOnderance by which the issue had been
determined was as yet unuscertaincd, the
public peace suffered no disturbance, but
the people everywhere patiently and quietly
awaited the result Nothing could more
strikingly illustrate the temper Of the
American citizen. his love OF order and his
loyalty to law. Nothing could more signally
demonstrate the strength and wisdom Of our
political institutions Eight years have
passed since Il controversy concerning the
result of n national election sharply called
the attention of the congress TO the neces-
sity of providing more precise and definite
regulations for counting the electoral vote
It is of the greatest importance that this
question be solved before conflicting claims
20 the presidency shall again distract the
country; and ! am persuaded that, by the
people at large, any Of the measures OF re-
lief thus far proposed would be preferred to
continued inaction

changes and reductions which have been
productive Of embarrassment The popuIa-
ton and commercial activity Of our country
are steadily on the increase, and are giving
rise to new, varying and often delicate re-
lationships with other countries Our for
eign establishment now embraces nearly
double the area OF operations that 1t did
twenty years ago. The confinement of such
q service within the limits OF expenditure
then established is not, 1t seems to me, In &C
cordAnce with true economy, and q COM

been redeemed by the secretary. The bonds
OF that issue still outstanding amount to
little over $500, OOO, 200, about ne-fourth
OF which will be retired through the opera
tons Of the sinking fund during the coming
year. As these bonds still continue the chief
factor of the circulation of the national
banks, the question how to avert the con.
traction OF the currency caused by their re.
tirement Is one of constantly increasing i'm.
portance. 1t seems to be generally conceded
that the law governing this matter exacts
from the banks excessive security, and that
ON their present bond deposits a larger cir.
culation than IL now allowed may be granted
with perfect safety. / hope that the bill
which passed the senate at the last session,
permitting the issue of notes equal to the
face value OF deposited bonds, will commend
itself to the approval of the house Of repre-.
