THE CONSULAR SERVICE.
NECESSITY FOR 1NpRovrMrNr

NECESSITY FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Pursuant to provision of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation act approved July 1,
1885, the estimates submitted by the secretary of
state for the maintenance of the consular service
have been recast on the basis of salaries for all
officers to whom such allowance is deemed sd-
visable. Advantage has been taken of this to re-
distribute the salaries of officers now appropri-
ated for in accordance with the work performed,
the Importance of the representative duties of
the incumbent and the cost of living at each
post. The last consideration has been too often
lost sight of in the allowances heretofore made.

rected attention to the value of the consular re-
ports printed by the department of state and
the efforts of the government to extend the
practical usefulness of these reports have created
wider demand for them at home and spirit Of
emulation abroad. Constituting record of the

they are much sought for by all interested in the

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

The drift of sentiment in civilized communi.
ties toward full recognition of the rights of
property in the creations of the human intellect
has brought about the adoption by many impor-
tant nations OF an international copyright con-
vention, which was sighed at Berne on the 18th
Of September, 1855. Inasmuch AS the constitu-
ton goes to congress the power to promote the
progress of science and useful arts by secu ring
for limited times to authors and inventors the
exclusive right to their respective writings and
discoveries, this government did lot feel war
ranted in becoming signatory pending the &C.
ton of congress upon measures of international
copyright now before it. but. the right of ad-
heslon to the Berne convention hereafter has
been reserved. trust the subject will receive
at your hands the attention it deserves, and that
the Just claims of authors so urgently pressed
will be duly needed.
Representations continue to be made to me of
the injurious effect upon American artists study
ing abroad and having free access t. the art COL
lections of foreign countries of the maintenance
OF Of discriminating duty against the Introduction
OF the works of their brother artists Of other
mendation for the abolition of that tax.

THE NAVY.
THE NEED OF REFORM.

The report of the secretary of the navy con.
tains n detailed report of the condition of his
department, with such statement of the action
needed to improve the same as should challenge
the earnest attention of congress. The present
navy of the United States, aside from the ships
in course of construction consists of:
l. Fourteen sinsle-'urreted monitors, none Of
which are in commission nor at the present time
serviceable. The batteries of these ships arc OBJ
aolete and they can only be relied upon as auxil
larry ships in harbor defense, and then after such
an expenditure upon them as might not be
deemed justifable.
2. Five fourth-rate vessels of small Tonnage,
only one of which was designed as a war vessel
and I'll of which are auxiliary merely.
:. Twenty-seven cruising ships three of which
arc built of iron of small tonnage and twenty
timated by the navy that only three will be scr
vlceable beyond period of six years.
at which time may be said that of the present
naval force nothing worthy of the name will re-
main.
All the vessels heretofore ordered are
UNDER CONTRACT
or in course of construction except the armored
ships the torpedo and dynamite boate and one
cruiser. AS to the last Of these the bids were in
excess of the limit fixed by congress.
The production in the United States of armor
and gun steel is question which it seems neces-
sary to settle at early day, if the armored war
vessels are to be completed with those materials
Of home manufacture. This has been the sub
ject Of, investigation by two boards and by two
special committees of congress whiting the last
three years. The report of the gun foundry
tions made in January last, and the reports
of the select committee and Of the two houses
made at the last session of congress, have
entirely exhausted the subject. 30 far as prelim-
mary investigation is involved and their recon-
mendations, are substantially agreed. In the
event that the present invitation of the depart
is now authorized shall fail to induce domestic
manufacturers to undeta the large expendl-
facture. and no other steps are taken by con-
gress at its coming session. the secretary con:
templates with dissatisfaction the necessity Of
for the authorized ships. 1t would seem desira-
BILE that the wants "f the army and the navy IN
this regard should be reasonably met and that
by uniting the contracts such inducenlent might
be offered as would resultin securing the domes-
tication of these important interests.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

A SUSPENSION OF COINAGE RECOMMENDED.
During the fiscal year ended June, 80, 1885,
there were coined under the compulsory
silver coinage act of 1878, 500, S38, $40 sill
YER dollars, and the cost of the silver
used in such coinage was S2344S.9 $3.50 c..
There had been coined up to the close of the
previous fiscal year, under the provisions of the
law. 1889, 554 silver dollars and on the let day
of December, 1885, the total amount of such COIN
age was S247, lS1, $40 The director of the mint
reports that at the time of the passage of the act
of 1873 directing this coinage. the intrinsic
value of the dollars thus coined was 94A cents
each, and that on the slst day Of July. 1883, the
price OF silver reached the lowest stage ever
our standard silver dollar on this date was less
s sse 80 soth m Of N ~. last vas
worth 10 cents each. These differences in value Of
the coins repres n the uctuation in the price of
silver. and they certainly do not indicate that
compulsory coinage by the government enhanced
the price Of that commodity or secures uniform
ity in its value
=, Every fair and legal effort has been made by
rency among the people, The withdrawal of
United States treasury notes Of small denonina-
have been resorted to in the endeavor to accom-
plish this result in obedience to the will and SEN
timents of the representatives of the people in

cessity Of more vault room for the purpose of
storing these silver dollars which are not needed
for circulation by the people.
have seen no reason to change the views ex-
pressed in my last annual message on the sub
ject of '
THIS COMPULSORY COINAGE,
and / again urge its suspension on all the
grounds contained in my former recommended
tion, reinforced by the significant increase OF
our gold expectations during the last wear az M
pears by the comparative statement herewith
presented. and for the further reasons that tho
more this currency is distributed among the peo-
pie the greater becomes our duty to protect it
from disaster, and that we now have abundance
for all our need, and that there seems but little
propriety in building vaults to store such cur
rency when the only pretense for its coinage is
lating medium.
