THE TARIFF.
The President Considers the Matter
Not Yet Settled.

The tariff act passed at the last session or
the congress needs important amendments
if It is to be executed effectively and with
certainty In addition to such necessary
amendments as will change rates of duty,
/ am still very decidedly in favor Of put
ting coal and iron upon the free list.
SO far as the sugar schedule IS concerned,
I would be glad under existing aggrayations
to see every particle of differential duty in
favor of refined sugar stricken out of our
tariff law If with all the favor now ac-
corded the sugar refining interest in our
tariff laws it still langulshes to the ex-
tent Of closing retineries and dischargins
thousands of workmen it would SEEM to
present hopeless case for reasonable leg
islatiye aid.
Whatever else is done or omitted earnest
ly repeat the recommendation made III an
other portion of this communication that
the additional duty Of one-tenth OF cent
per pound laid upon sugar Imported from
countries paying a bounty on Its export pc
abrogated 1t seems to me that exceedingly
important considerations point to tue pro-

THE NEW NAVY.
Gratifying Progress In the Con-
structiOn OF Ships.

Attention is called to the report Of the
secretary OF the navy, which shows very
gratifying progress in the construction OF
ships for our new navy. All the vessels now
building, including the three torpedo boats
authorized at the last session of congress
and excepting the tilst-class battle-shiD
iowa, Will probably be completed during
the coming nscal year.
The estimates for the increase Of the navy
for the year ending June 30, 1896 are large,
out they include practically the entire sum
necessary to complete and equip all new
ships not now In commission, that un-
less new ships are authorized the appro-
priations for the navy service for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1897 should
fall below the estimates for the coming
year by at least ST. 100000.
More ships Needed.
The secretary presents with much earnest
aess a plea for the authorization OF three
additional battle-ships and ten or twelve
topedo boats. While the unarmed vessels
heretofore authorized, including those now
Nearing completion, will constitute fleet
which il is believed is sufficient for ordinary
cruising purposes in time OF peace, we have
now completed and in process of construc-
tion but four frst-class battleshps and but
few torpedo boats. If we are To have i
navy for warlike operations, offensive and
defensive, we certainly ought to increase
both the number OF battle-ships and tor
pedo boats.
The manufacture of armor requires ex-
pensive plant and the aggregation of many
skilled workmen. All the armor necessary
to complete the vessels now building will
be delivered before the first Of June next.
1t no contracts are given out, contract
ors must disband their workmen and their
plants must lie idle. Battle-ships. author
lied at this time would not be we'll under
way until late in the coming fiscal year,
and at least three years and a half from
the date Of the contract would be required
for their completion. The secretary states
that not more than Is per cent Of the cost
of such shipments need be included in tue
appropriations for the coming year
l recommend that provision be made for
the construction of additional battieships
and torpedo boats. The secretary recom-
mends the manufacture not only Of reserve
supply of ordnance and ordnance material
for ships Of the navy, but also a supply for
the auxiliary fleet Guns and their appur-
tenances should be provided and kept on
hand for both these purposes. We have not
to-day a single gun that could be put on the
ships Paris or New York of the Interna-
tonal Navigation company. or any other
ship Of our reserve navy. The manufacture
Of guns ut the Washington navy yard IS
proceeding satisfactorily. and none Of our
new ships will be required to wait for their
guns or ordnance equipment.
