seeks only to restrain violations Of law
and of personal right
No community will find lawlessness
profitable; no-community can afford to
have it known that the officers who are
charged with the preservation of the pub
lie peace and the restraint of the crimi-
nal class, are themselves the product of
fraud or violence.
The magistrate is then without respect
and the law without sanction. The floods
OF lawiessness cannot be leveed and made
to run in one channel. The killing of a
United States marshal, carrying q writ
Of arrest for an election offense, is full Of
prompting and suggestion to men who
are pursued by city marshal, for crime
against life or property.
But it is said that this legislation viii
revive race animosities, and some have
even suggested that when the peaceful
methods of fraud are made impossible
they may be supplemented by ln.imida-
ton and violence.
If the proposed law gives to any quail
fed elector by hairs weight more than
his equal influence or detracts by so much
from any other qualified elector, it Is IA
tally impeached.
But If the law is equal and the AMI
mosities it evokes grow out of the fact
that some electors have been accustomed
to exercise the franchise for others as
well as for themselves, then these ami
mosities ought not to be confessed with
out shame, and cannot be given any
weight on the discussion Without dis
honor.
No choice is left to me, but to enforce
with vigor all laws intended to secure
to the citizens his, constitutional rights
and to recommend that the inadequate
ness of such laws be promptly remedied
If to promote with zeal and ready in.
terest every project for the development
of its material interests, its rivers, har-
bors, mines and factories and the intelh-
gence, peace and security under the law
of its communities and lis homes is cot
adopted as sufficient evidences of friend
illness to any state or section, cannot add
connivance at election practices that not
only disturb local results, but TO the
electors of other states and sections OF
their most priceless political results.
APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The preparation of the general appro-
priation bills should be conducted with

A Financial Matter.

The broker nodded again.

this plain business proposition to make, to
wit: By the last treasury report the total
amount of money available for use In this
country is 81, 425 ,000, 900, which divided pro
rata among the people as enumerated by

ceeding year and was only exceeded once
in our history. About 500, 100000 OF this
excess was in agricultural products.
The production of pig iron, always q
good gauge of general prosperity, Is
shown by recent census bulletin to nave
been 153 per cent greater In 1871 tnan In
1880 and the production OF steel 2sO PEE
cent. greater. Mining in coal has no
Limitation, except that resulting from
deficient transportation.
The general testimony is that labor Is
everywhere fully employed and the re-
ports for the last year show smaller
number of employees affected by strikes
and lock-outs than in any year since 1904.
The depression in the prices OF agrl-
cultural products had been greatly revived
and buoyant and hopeful tone was be-
ginning to be felt by all our people.
THE FURRY IN STOCKS.
These promising influences have been
in some degree checked by the surprls-
ing and very unfavorable monetary events
which have recently taken place IN Eng
land. 1t is gratifying to know that these
did not grow in any degree out OF the II
nancial relations of London with our peo-
pie or out of any discredit attached to
our securities held in that market.
The return of our bonds and stocks
was caused by a money stringency In
England, not by any loss OF value or
credit in the securities themselves.
We could not, however, wholly es-
cape the i'll effects of q foreign
monetary agitation accompanied by such
extraordinary incidents as characterized
this. 1t is not believed, however, that
these evil incidents which have for the
time unfavorably affected values in this
country can long Withstand the strong,
safe and wholesome influences which are
operating to give our people profitable
returns in all branches of Legislative
trade and industry.

Important Bills

In addition to the important bills that
become laws before the adjournment of
the last session some other bills of the
highest Importance were well advanced
toward final vote and now stand upon
the calendars of the two houses.
The present session has a fixed limit,
and if these measures are not brought to
final vote all the work that has been
done upon them by this congress is lost.
The proper consideration of these, of an
apportiopment bill and of the annual ap-
preparation bills will require not only
that no working day of the session shall
not be allowed to interrupt or retard the
progress of those that are Of universal
interest.
In view of these conditions I refrain
from bringing before you at this time
some suggestions that would otherwise
be made, and most earnestly invoke
your attention to the duty of perfecting
the important legislation now well adj
vanced.
To some of these measures which seem
to me most important now briefly call
your attention.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINES
1 desire to repeat with added urgency
the recommendations contained in my
last annual message in relation to the
development of American steamship
lines.
The reciprocity clause of the tariff
will be largely limited and its benefits re-
tarded and diminished if provision is not
contemporaneously made to encourage
the establishment of frst-class steam
communication between our ports and
the ports of such nations as may meet
our overtures for enlarged commercial
exchanges.
The steamship carrying the mails
stately and frequently and offering to
passengers a comfortable, safe and speedy
transit is the first condition of foreign
trade. 1t carries the order of the buyer,
but not all that is ordered or sought. It
gives to the sailing vessel such cargoes
as are not urgent or perishable, and indi-
rectly at least promotes that important
adjunct of commerce.
There is now both in this country and
in the nations of Central and South Amer
lea state of expectation and confidence
as to increased trade that will give q
double value to your prompt action upon
this question.
THE AUSTRALIAN NAILS.
The present situation of our mail COM
munication with Australia, illustrates the
importance of early action by congress.
The Oceanic steamship company main
tains a line of steamers between San
Francisco, Sydney and Auckland consist
ing OF three vessels, two of which are Of
United States registry and one of foreign
registry.
For the service done by this line in car
rYing the mails we pay annually $40, 600,
being As estimated, the full sea and
United States inland postage, which is
the limit fixed by law. The colonies Of
New South Wales and New Zealand have
been paying annually to these lines 81
600 pounds for carrying the mails from
Sydney and Auckland to San Francisco.
The contract under which this payment
has been made Is about to expire and
those colonies have refused to renew the
contract unless the United States shah
pay more equitable proportion of the
whole sum necessary to maintain the SER
vice. -1 - =

The Rusine.s situation.

I congratulate the congress and the
country upon the passage at the first ses-
sion of the fifty-frst congress of an I'M
usual number Of laws of very high i'm
portance.
The results of this legislation will
be the quickening and enlargement of our
manufacturing industries, larger and bet
ter markets for our breadstuffs and pro-
visions, both at home and abroad, more
constant employment and better wages
for our working people and an increased
supply of = safe currency for the tran
saction of business.
do not doubt but that some of these
measures were enacted at so late per
Tod that the beneficial effects upon COM
merce which were in the contemplation
of congress, have as yet, but partially
manifested themselves The general
trade and Industrial conditions through
out the country during the year have
shown a marked improvement. For
many years prior to 1888 the merchandise
balances of foreign trade had been large
~ In our favor, but during that year and
the year following they turned against us,
It is very gratifying to know that the
last fiscal year again shows 8 balance in
our favor OF over SoO,UOO,OOU.
BANK CLRARINGS
The bank clearings, which furnish a
good test of the volume of business
transacted for the first ten months of the
year 1890, shows as compared with the
same months of 1889, an increase for the
whole country of "a per cent and the in
crease outside of the city of New York
was over Is per cent
During the month of October the clear
ings Of the whole country showed an in
crease Of 81 per cent over October, 1889,
while outside of New York the increase
was III per cent These figures show
that the increase in the volume Of bust
ness was very general throughout the
country. That this larger business was
being conducted upon . safe and profit
able basis Is shown by the fact that there
were three hundred less failures reported
in October, 1890, than in the same month
Of the preceding year with liabilities di-
minished by about FIVE million. dollars.
The value Of our exports Of domestic
merchandise during the last year was
over $1l6, 900 greater than the pre-

NAV fan into the hands of individuals or
private corporations and be used to rem
der sHbservient the large areas depend
emit upon such supply. The owner of the
water is the owner OF the lands, however
the titles may run.
Unappropriated natural water sources
and all necessary reservoir sites should
be held by the government for the equal
use, at fair rates, of the homestead set
tiers who will eventually take up these
lands.
The United States should not, in my
opinion, undertake the construction of
dams and canals, but should limit work
to such surveys and observations as will
determine the water supply both surface
and subterranean, the surface capable of
irrigation and the use, location and stor-
age capacity of reservoirs.
This done, the use of the water and
of the reservoirs might be granted to the
respective states and territories, or to in
dividuals or associations upon the condi-
ton that the necessary works should be
constructed and the water furnished at
fair rates without discrimination, the
rates to be subject to supervision by the
legislatures or by boards of water COM
missioners duly constituted.
The essential thing to be secured is the
common and equal use at fair rates of
the accumulated water supply. 1t were
almost better that these lands should
remain arid than that those who occupy
them should become the slaves of unre-
strained monopolies controlling the essen
tial element of land values and crop re
suits.
POSTAL TELEGRAPHs.
The use of the telegraph by the post
Office department as means of transmits
sion of written communications believe,
upon proper terms, quite desirable.
The government does not own or oper-
ate the railroads and it should not, l
think, own or operate any telegraph
lines.
1t does, however, seem to be quite
practicable for the government to con-
tract with the telegraph companies as it
does with the railroads. to carry at speci-
fed rates such communications as the
senders may designate for this method.
l recommend that such legislation be
enacted as will enable the postoffice de-
partment fairly to test by experiment the
advantages of such q use of the tele
graph.
