seeks only to restrain violations of law
and Of personal right.
No community viii find lawlessness
profitable; no community can afford to
have 1t 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 lawlessness cannot be leveed and made
to run in one channel. The killing of a
United States marshal, carrying g writ
or 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 in.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

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The preparation OF the general appro-
priation bills should be conducted with
the greatest care and the closest scrutiny
OF expenditures.
Appropriations should be adequate to
the needs of the public service but they
should be absolutely free from prodi-
gality.

ceeding year and was only exceeded once
in our history. About $10O,OOO,OO OF this
excess was in agricultural products.
The production Of pig iron, always a
good gauge of general prosperity, is
shown by recent census bulletin to have
been 153 per cent greater in 1890 than in
1880 and the production Of steel 300 per
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 a smaller
number of employees affected by strikes
and lock-outs than in any year since 1884
The depression in the prices of agri-
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 surpris-
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 fl
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 a 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
a final vote all the work that has been
done upon them by this congress is lost.
The proper consideration of these, of an
apportionment 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 we'll adj
vanced.
To some of these measures which seem
to me most important I now briefly call
your attention.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINES.
desire to repeat with added urgency
the recommendations contained in nv
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 f1rst-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
~ ND
passengers 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 a
double value to your prompt action upon
this question.
THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.
The present situation of our mail com
munication with Australia, illustrates the
importance Of early action bY Congress.
The Oceanic steamship company main
tains 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 $46, 900,
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 ST.
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 shall
pay more equitable proportion of the
whole sum necessary to maintain the ser
vice.

The Business Situation.

congratulate the congress and the
country upon the passage at the first ses-
sion of the ffty-first congress of an un-
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 a safe currency for the tran
saction of business.
do not doubt but that some of these
measures were enacted at so late a per
iod 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 q 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 a balance in
our favor of over SOS, 700, 900.
BANK CLEAIlINGs.
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 II 4 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.
EXPORTS
The value of our exports Of domestic
merchandise during the last year was
over $3.50 600 greater than the pre-

act of March 1, 1890, has been completed
and the result will be at once officially
communicated TO congress.
The completion of this decennial
enumeration devolves upon congress the
duty OF making q new superintendent of
representatives among the several states,
according TO their respective numbers.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
At the last session 1 had occasion to re-
turn with my objections several bills
making provisions for the erection of
public buildings, for the reason that the
expenditures contemplated, were In my
opinion greatly in excess of any public
need. No class of legislation is more IL
able to abuse or to degenerate into an IN
seemly scramble about the public treas
ury than this.
There should be exercised in this mat
ter wise economy, based upon some re-
sponsible and impartial examination and
report to each case under a general law.

1t does, however, seem to be quite
practicable for the government to CON

enacted as will enable the postoffice de-
partment fairly to test by experiment the
advantages of such use of the teIe-

UnappEopriated 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 win eventually take up these
lands.
The United States should not. in nv
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
tia1 element of land values and crop re-
suits.

The Civil Service.

The law relating to the civil service,
so far as 1 can learn, has been executed
by those having the power of appoint
ment in the classified service with fidelity
and impartiality and the service has been
increasingly satisfactory. The report of
the commissioners show large amount
of good work done during the year with
very limited AUTHORIZATIONS.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1890-12-04

The imports at the port of New York
for the first three weeks of November
were nearly 8 per cent greater than for
the same period in 1889 and two per cent
greater than in the same period of 1888.
IT effect is so far from being to limit ex-
ports that 1 confidently believe that I'M
der it, we shall secure larger and more
profitable participation in foreign trade
than we have ever enjoyed, and that we
shall receive a proportionate participa-
ton in the ocean carrying trade of the
world.
