All Approval of the Results of the Nc
- Kinley Bill. >7
The general interest III the operations OF the
treasury department has been much augmented
during the last year by reason Of the conflicting
predictions which accompanied and followed the
tariff and other legislation Of the last congress
affecting the revenue as to the results Of this
legislation upon the treasury and upon the
country On the one hand. it was contended
that imports would 50 fall off as to leave the
treasury bankrupt, and that the prices OF arti-
cles entering into the living of the people would
be so enhanced as to disastrously affect their
comfort and happiness; while, on the other, it
was argued that the loss to the revenue, largely
be direct gain to the people; that the prices OF
the necessaries Of life including those most
highly rejected, would not be enhanced; that
labor would have larger market and the prod
and receipts would be adequate to meet the APP
preparations. including the large exceptional eX-
penditures for the refunding to the states OF the
direct tax and the redemption Of the AZ per cent
bonds.
1t is not my purpose to enter at length into a
discussion Of the effects OF the legislation to
which have referred; but II brief examination
Of the sta cistics Of the treasury and general
glance at the state Of business throughout the
country will, I think, satisfy any impartial in
qury that it's results have disappointed the evil
prophecies Of it's opponents and in a large meas
ure realized the hopeful predictions Of its friends
Rarely,if ever before. in the history Of this coun-
try has there been a time when the proceeds Of
one days labor or the product OF one farmed
acre would purchase 50 large All amount Of
those things that enter INTO the living OF the

will disclose the fact that the tariff act OF the

OUTBREAKS IN CHINA.

A Demand for the Protection of Citi-
zens of the United States.
The late outbreak against foreigners in various
parts OF the Chinese empire has been cause OF
deep pain in view OF the numerous establish
mepts of our citizens in the interior OF that
country. This government can do no less than
insist upon continuance Of the protective and
punitory measures which the Chinese govern
ment has heretofore applied. No effort will be
omitted to protect our citizens peaceably So
journing in China, but recent unofficial informa-
ton Indicates that what was at first regarded
as outbreak OF mob violence against Tor
eigners has assumed the larger form OF all insur-
rection against public order.
The Chinese government has declined TO re
ceive Mr. Blair as the minister Of the United
States on the ground that, as a participant,
while a senator. in the enactment OF the existing
legislation against the introduction OF Chinese
laborers, be has become unfrlendly and objec-
tionab BILE to China. I have felt constrained to
point out to the Chinese government the unten-
ableness OF this position, which seems to rest as
much on the unacceptabillty OF our legislation
as on that OF the person chosen, and which, ii
admitted. would practically debar the selection
of any representative SO long as the existing
laws remain in force.
You will be called upon to consider the eX-
pediency OF making special provision by law for
the temporary admission OF some Chinese
artisans and laborers in connection with the ex-
hibit OF Chinese Industries at the approaching
Columbian exposition. l regard it as desirable
that the Chinese exhibit be facilitated in every
proper Way. !

The Signal Service aas No necord of
Heavier Rain In December.
HURON, S. D., Special Telegram, Dec. Is.
Rain began falling here about 1 o'clock
Sunday a ternoon, continuing almost with
out interruption until 10 o'clock this
morning, when the atmosphere became
several degrees colder and the rain turned
to hail an hour later and the hail ceased.
The water in the Jim river has risen several
inches and the stream is deeper than
known at this season for several years.
From the reports received it would seem
that Huron was the storm center. Wes-
sington reports a heavy rain, while but
little fell at Highmore and none is reported
west Of Miller. Crandon got a good shower
but further north no rain is reported. 10
the east and south lor from eighteen to
twenty five miles, more or less rain fell.
Altogether the rain was the heaviest known
here in December since the establishment
ofthe signal office ten years ago.

EXPULSION OF JEWS.
A Friendly Kick to the Car Against His
Harsh Measures.


Harsh Measures.
This government has found occasion to ex-
press, in a friendly spirit but with much earnest
ness, to the government of the car it's serious
ing offered against the Hebrews in Russia. By
the revival of anti-semitic laws, long in abey-
ance, great numbers Of those unfortunate people
have been constrained to abandon their homes
and leave the empire by reason of the impossi-
which it is sought to confne them. The immi
grafton of these people to the United States
many other countries being closed to them-is
largely increasing, and is likely to assume pro-
portions which may make it difficult to find
homes and employment for them heie and to
seriously affect the labor market. 1t is esti-
mated that over one million will be forced
from Russia within few years. The
Hebrew is never a. beggar; he has always kept
the laW-llfe by toil-otten under severe and p
pressive civil restrictions. 1t is also true that
it's own han the Hebrew race. But the sudden
transfer of such a multitude. under conditions
that tend to strip them of their small accumu-
lations and to depress their energies and cour-
age, is neither good for them nor for US.
The Punishment, whether by direct decree or
not less certain indirect methods. OF so large
number Of men and women is not local ques-
ton. A decree to leave one country is, in the
nature of things, an order to enter another

ground for the remonstrances which We have
presented to Russia, while our historic friend
ship for that government cannot fail to give the
assurance that our represent ations are those OF

the Prospects Of arbitration.

The Agreement for Closed Season and
the Prospects Of arbitration.
In view of the reports which have been re-
ceived as to the diminution OF the seal herds III
the Rehrng sea, deemed 1t wise to propose to
her majesty S government in February last that
an agreement for a closed season should be
made, pending the negotiations for arbitration,
which then seemed to be approaching a favora-
bic conclusion. After much correspondence, and
delays for which this government was not re-
sponsible, an agreement was reached and signed
on the 9TH OF june bv which Great Britain un
dertook, from that date and until May l. 1892,
to prohibit the killing by her subjects OF seals i'll
the Behring sea, and the government OF the
United States, during the same period, to en-
force it's existing prohibition against pelaeie
sealing and to limit the catch by the
fur seal company upon the islands to 1850
skins. If this agreement could have been reached
OF this government, it would have been more
effective; but, coming even as late as IL did, it
unqueStionably resulted i'll greatly diminishing
the destruction OF seals by the leading sealers.
III my last annual message l stated that the
basis of arbitration proposed by her majesty S
government for the adjustment Of the long
pending controversy as to the seal fisheries was
nounce that terms satisfactory to this govern
ment have been agreed upon and that all agree
ment as to the arbitratorS is all that Is neceS-
sary to the completion OF the convention. In
view Of the advanced petition which this gov
eminent has taken upon International arbltra-
ton, this renewed expression OF our adherence
to this method for the settlement OF disputes
such as have arisen in the Behring sea will,
doubt not, meet with the concurrence OF coll

Several Countries Have Removed the
Embargo Upon Fork Products.
The law OF the last congress providing a sys-
tenn of inspection OF our meats intended for ex-
port and clothing the president with power to
exclude foreign products from our market in
case the country sending them should perpetu-
ate unjust Determinations against any product
of the United States, placed this government in
a position to effectively urge the removal Of
such determinations against our meats.
1t is gratifying to be able to state that Ger
many. Denmark, Italy, Austria and France, in
the order named, have opened their ports to in
spected American pork products. Tie removal
OF these restrictions in every instance was asked
for and given solely upon the ground that we
had provided a meat inspection that
should be accepted as adequate to the complete
removal OF the dangers, real or fancled, which
had been previously urged. The state depart
ment. our ministers abroad, and the secretary
Of agriculture have co-operated with unlagging
and intelligent zeal for the accomplishment of
this great result.

Ayn3caI,1v Satt1.1


Amicably Settled.
The lynchng at New Orleans in March last OF
eleven men OF Italian nativity by a mob OF cit.
liens was most deplorable and dscreditable
incident. It did not, however, have its origin
an any general luminosity to the Italian people
nor in any disrespect to the government Of
Italy, with which our relations were OF the
most friendly character. The fury Of the mob
was directed against these men as the supposed
participants or accessories i'll the murder Of a
city official.
do not allude to this as mitigatingI.in Many
degree this offense against law and humanity,
but only as affecting the international questions
which grew out Of It,. 1t was once represented
by the Italian minister that several OF those
whose lives had been taken by the mob wene
Italian subjects, and q demand was made for
the punishment OF the participants and for all
indemnity to the families of those who
were killed. It Is to be regretted that
the manner in which these claims
were presented W as not such as to promote a
calm discussion Of the questions involved, but
this may we'll be attributed to the excitement
and Indignation which the crime naturally
evoked. The views of this government as to It's
fully stated in the correspondence, as well as It's
purpose to make all investigation Of the affair
with the view to determine whether there were
present any circumstances that could under
such rules of duty as we had indicated, create an
obligation upon the United States The tenn
porary absence Of g minister plenipote1ltiary Of
italy at this capitol has hindered the further
correspondence, but it is not doubted that q
friendly conclusion is attainAble.

SILVER LEGISLATION.
An Urgent Appeal for q Fair Trial

An Urgent Appeal for a Fair Trial OF
the Present Law. 3D..
Before the influence of the prospective silver
legislation was felt in the market silver was
worth in New FORK about $O.955 per ounce The
ablest advocates of free coinage in the last con-
gress were most confident in their prediction
that the purchases by the government required
by the law would at once bring the price OF sill
yer to $1,000 per ounce, which would make the
bullion value OF dollar 100 cents and hold 1t
there. ....--'. ..-.s ~. +
Lhope the oppression in the price of silver is
temporary and that further trial Of this leg.
islation will more iavorably affect it. That the
increased volume of currency thus supplied for
the uso OF the people was needed and that bene-
fetal results upon trade and prices have tol-
lowed this legislation I think must be clear to
every one: nor should it be forgotten that for
every dollar of these notes issued full dollar 9
worth OF silver bullion is at the time deposited
in the treasury as a security for its redemption.
Upon this subject, upon the tariff, my recon-
mendation is that the existing laws be given a
spared the distressing influence which threats OF
radical changes always impart. Under existing
legislation it is in the power Of the treasury de-
partment to maintain that essential condition
of national finance as well as OF commercial
prosperity-the parity in use OF the coin dollars
and their paper represent atives. The assurance
that these powers would be freely and unhesl;
tatingly used has done much to produce and
sustain the present favorable business condl'
tions. am still Of the opinion that ~
THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
under existing conditions would dsastrOusly
affect our business interests at home and
abroad. We could not hope to maintain al
equality in the purchasing power OF the gold ane
silver dollar in our own markets, and in foreig1
trade the stamp gives no addedWalue to the
bullion contained in coins. The producers q
the country, its farmers and laborers, have the
highest interest that every dollar. paper or coin
issued by the government, shall be as good al
any other. If there is one less valuable thar
another, it's sure and constant errand will be to
pay them for their toll and for their crops. The
money lender will protect himself by STIMULATING
for payment in gold, but the laborer has never
been able to do that To place business upon
silver basis would mean a sudden and severe
contraction of the currency. BY the Withdrawal
