The President proceeds to con.
denim the l%oaning of public funds
to banks without interest. The de-
posts now out should be gradually
withdrawn and applied to the pue-
chase of bonds. He recommends
the revision of the tariff, both the
administrative features and the sche-
dulles, with a uniform valuation at
all ports, and declares it to be essen
tial that effective measures should
be taken to secure it. It is equally
desirable, the Message continues, that
the questions affecting the rates and
c~lassifcatiOns should be promptly de.
cided. The preparation of new sche-
dulles being a delicate and difficult
matter, the changes should be made
so as not to impair the just and
reasonable protection of home indus
tries. Inequalities should be adjust
ed, but the protective principle main
tanned and fairly applied to the pro,
ducts Of farms md shops.
The free list can safely be extended
by adding t" it articles no %injuri-
ously competing with domestic pro-
ducts. The President also recon-
mends the removal of the excise on
tobacco and, if fraud can be avoid
ed, $3.50 Oh spirits used for srts
and manufactures. He 6isapprovpS,
however, nny considerable increase

The Presidents Message.
From the TImes.)
Washington, Dec. 3.

S'atlng ChhC tue year leaves lew
international questions unadiusted.
Referring to the Pan American Con-
gross, the President expresses the
hOpelthat il will result in improved
% merciaI facilities and better Sc.
cnrities for the maintenance of peace
on the American continent. He trusts
that the Samoan Treaty will be pro-
duc'ive of permanent law and order
IN Samoa on the basis of the mOin-
tenancen of the rights and interests
of The natives as well as of the Trea-
ty Powers. The questions which had
arisen during the past few years be.
tween Great Britain and the United
States were now in allegiance or being
amicably adjusted. Canada has admi-
nistered the fisheries during the past
season with little friction, and he
trusts that all existing causes of differ.
ence on this subject between the
United States aud Canada will soon
be ~equitably adjusted.
The President next recommends
increasing the number of extraditable
offences between Great Britain and
the United States, and announces
that a new treaty dealing with the
question will soon w. submitted to
tbs, Senate. The adjustment of the
claims Of the United States against
Spain was noi being effected so re-,
PrdlY az could be desired. Abiding
~ the beginning of the Nicaraguan
Canal, the President sayS:-"This
Government is ready to promote
every proper requirement for the ad-
justment OF all questions presenting
Obstacles 10 its completion"
The Message next expresses inter
est ia the AnliSlavery Congress in
oRrusselS, and continuing, states
.ahAt most cordial relations exist be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, and that the naturalization
questions with The latter country are
considered settled TO the mutual sa-
tislaction OF both. Similar questions
with France, Italy, Russia, Turkey,
and Switzerland continued to arise.
The improper use OF naturalization
WAS disapprovfd, but all duly natarliz'
ed persons should every Were be &C.
corded the rights of adopted citizen
ship. The President, at the same
aime, recommends special conventions
to settle such questions.
Referring next to Brazi |, he says
"Our friendly intercourse is inter.
uupted, but Our Minister is instructed
i" formally and cordially recognize
the Republic, when the majority of
the people signify their assent to
it." a
