the protection OF our country from the nyasi~

and Hon. Nicholas i. Worthington IN
the state OF Illinois, TO form with Em
Carroll ID. Wright, commissioner of labor WI.
was designated by said statute commissjos
for the purpose OF making careful INQUIRY ips,G
the causes of the controversies between cayy
tain railroads and their employees which ~
resulted ip an extensive ind destructive strt u
accompanied by much violence and tangerony
disturbance with considerable loss OF life M
grea6 destruction OF property.
The report of the CO nmissioners has bee,
submitted to me and will be transmitted totns
congress with the evidence taken upon tbei,
investigation.
The tariff act passed at the last session 4
the congress needs important Amendments
it is to be executed effectively ana with Ger 4
tainty. In addition to such necessary amend 4
ments as will not change rates OF duty, am
still very decidedly In Il vor OF putting coal AMI
iron upon the free list. M
So far as the sugar schedule is concernedI
would DE glad, under existing aggravationsy4
see every particle Of differential duty in favor
OF refined sugar stricken out OF our tariff law
II with all the favor so accorded the sugar re-
filming interest in our tariff laws II still Lam
cuisines 10 the extent OF closed refneries and
thousands of discharged workmen, it would
seem TO present hopeless case for reasonable
legislative aid
Whatever else is done or omitted, earnestly
repeat here the recommendations have made
in another portion of this communication that
the additional duty OF one-tenth of cent per
pound, laid upon sugar imported from coun-
tries paying bounty on it's export be abro-
gated. =
The president then recounts the necessity Of
issuing bonds To replete the gold reserve, and
says; Nothing could be worse or further rel
moved from sensible finance than the relations
existing between the currency the goverxfhf
has issued the gold held for its redenWm
and the means which must be resortC0to
for the purpose of replenishing such rede8r
ton fund when impaired. Even II the claims
upon this fund were confined to the obligs-
lions originally intended, and II the redemp-
ton of these obligations meant their cancel
lation. the fund would be very small But
these obligations, when received and redeemed
in gold are not Cancelled but are re-issued and
may do duty many times by way of drawing
gold from the treasury. Thus we have an END
less chain in operation constantly depicting
the treasury's gold and never near o final rat
AS II this was not bad enough, we
have by statutory declaration Ant
it is the policy of the goyernaHt
to maintain the parity between gold and 81 ~
aided the force and momentum Of this exh
ing process and added |. rgely to the curI
claiming thi peculiar gold redehl<1
ton. Our small gold reserve is thus subject
drain from every side. The demands that il
crease our danger also increase the necessity
this reserve against depletion
1t is most unsatisfactory TO know that the p
lection afforded is only temporary palliati'
1t is perfectly and papably plain that the &o
way under present conditions by VI W
this reserve when dangerously depleted
can be replenished is through the
Issue and sale OF the bonds of the gov
eminent for gold; and yet congress has not
only thus far declined TO authorize the issue I
bonds best suited to such a purpose, but therl
both the necessity and power for the Issue q
bonds at all
can not for moment believe THAT any Of
our citizens are deliberately willipglthat their
government should default in It's -becuniary
obligations or that its financial operations
should be reduced to silver basis. AT any
rate should not feel that my duty was donc
L omitted any eHOrt could make
10 avert such calamity. As long there
lore, as no provision is made for the
anal redemption or the putting aside of the Z
currency obligation now used to repeatedlyS
and constantly draw from the government It's
gold and as long as no better authority for
bond issues Is allowed than at present exists )
such authority will be utilized whenever aug
