terest in sound currency and who suffers most
by mischievous legislation in money matters, is
the man who earns his daily bread by his daily
toll"
These words are per rtinent now as on the day
they were uttered and ought to impressively
remind US that a failure in the discharge of our
duty at this time must especially injure those
of our countrymen who labor, and who because Of
their number and condition are entitled to the
most watchful care Of their government
1t is Of the utmost Importance that such
relief as congress can afford in the existing
situation be afforded at once The maxim "Ha
gives twice who gives quickly" is directly ap-
plcable- 1t may be true that the embarrass.
ments from which the business of the country
is suffering arise as much from evils appre-
hended as from those actually existing. We
may hope, tOo that calm counSelS will prevail
and that neither the capitalists nor the wage
earners will give way to unreasoning panic and
sacrifice their property their interests under
the influence of exaggerated fears. Neverthe-
less every days delay in removing one Of the
plain and principal causes of the present state
of things enlarges the mischief already done
and Increases the responsibility of the govern
mant for its existence. Whatever else the peo-
pie have right to expect from cong reSS, they
may certainly demand that legislation con-
demned by the ordeal of three years disastrous
experiences shall be removed from the statute
books as soon as their representatives can legit-
imately deal with it.
1t was my purpose to summon congress II
special session early in the coming September
that might enter promptly upo the work ot
tariff reform, which the true interests of the
country clearly demand. which so large q
majority of the people as shown by
their suffrages, desire and expect, and
to the accomplishment Of which every effort OF
the present administration is pledged. But
while tariff reform has lost nothing Of its i'm
mediate and permanent Importance, and mus
in the near future engage the attention of con
gress, it has seemed to me that the f1nancia
condition of the country should at once and be-
fore all other subjects be considered by YOU
honorable body.
earnestly recommend the prompt repeal oi
the provisions of the act passed July IA, 1890
| authorizing the purchase of silver bullion, and
that other legislative action may put beyond all
| doubt or mistake the intention and the ability
of the government to fill it's pecuniary obliga
| tions in money universally recognized by al
| civilized countries.
