provision for that most deserving body
Of public creditors-the soldiers and the
sailors and the widows and orphans who
are the pensioners of the United States.
The government should not be per-
mitted to run behind, or Increase Its
debt, in times like the present.
Suitably to provide against this Is the
mandate of duty; the certain and easy
remedy for most Of our financial Difficult
ties. A deficiency Is inevitable so long
as the expenditure Of the government
exceeds its receipts.
1t can only be met by loans, or an in
creased revenue.
Whilea large annual surplus ofrevenue
may invite waste and extravaganza,
Inadequate revenue creates distrust and
undermines public and private credit
Neither should be encouraged. Be
tween more loans and more revenue,
there ought to be but one opinion. We
fhould have more revenue and that
without delay. hndrance, or postpone
ment.
A surplus in the treasury created by
loans Is not permanent or safe reliance.
II will suffice While 1t lasts, but 1t cannot
last long while the OUTLAWS Of the govern
ment are greater than the receipts, as
has been the case during the past two
years. Nor must 1t be forgotten that
however much such loans may tempo
rarily relieve the situation, the govern
ment Is still indebted for the amount
OF the surplus thus accrued, which ii
must ultimately pay, while its ability
to pay is not strengthened but weak
ened by continued deficit. Loans are
imperative in great emergencies to pre-
serve the government or its credit, but
a failure to supply needed revenue In
time of peace for the maintenance of
either has no justification.

It has been the uniform practice of
each president to avoid, as far as pos
sble, the converting of congress in ex-
traordinary session. 1t is an example
which, under ordinary circumstances
and in the absence of a public necessity,
Is to he commended, but failure to
convene the representatives Of the peo-
pie in congress in extra session when 1t
involves neglect of public duty, places
the responsibility of such neglect upon
the executive himself. The condition of
the public treasury, as has been indi-
Gated, demands the immediate consid-
Grafton of congress. 1t alone has the
power to provide revenues for the gov
eminent. Not to convene it under such
circumstances l can view in no other
sense than the neglect of a plain duty.
| do not sympathize with the sentiment
that congress in session is dangerous
IN our business interests. It's members
are the agents of the people, and their
presence at the seat of government. in
the execution Of sovereign will, should
not operate as an injury, but benefit.
There could be no better time to put
the government upon sound financial
and economic basis than now The peo-
pie have only recently voted that this
should be done, and nothing Is more
binding upon the agents of their will
than the obligation of immediate ac-

Congress should give prompt attention
to the restoration of our American mer-
chant marine, once the pride of the seas
IN all the great ocean highways of COM
merce. To my mind, few more import
ant subjects so imperatively demand its
intelligent consideration. The United
States has progressed with marvellous
rapldity in every field of enterprise and
endeavor, until we have become fore
most In nearly all the great lines of in.
land trade, commerce and industry
Yet, while this Is true, our American
merchant marine has been steadily de-
clinlng, until 1t Is now lower, both in
the percentage of tonnage and the num-
Der of vessels employed. than 1t was
prior to the civil war. Commendable
progress has been made of late years in
the upbuildng of the American navy,
but we must supplement these efforts
by providing, as a proper consort for It,
a merchant marine amply sufficient for
our own carrying trade to foreign coun-
tries. The question Is one that appeals
both to our business necessities and
the patriotic aspirations Of great peo-
pie.
1t has been the policy of the United
States, since the foundation of the gov
eminent, to cultivate relations of peace
and amity with all the nations Of the

world. and this accords with my con-
oontion OF our duty now. We have
cherished the policy of non-interlernce
with the affairs Of foreign governments
wisely lnaugurated by Washington
koeplng ourselves free from entangle-
ment. either as allies or foes, content TO
leave undlsturbed with them the settle

will be our aim to pursue firm and dig

Impartial, ever watchful of our national
honor and always insisting upolMhe en-
forcement of the lawful Vshts oNmeri-

CIV should seek nothing more, and accept
nothing less, than Is due us. We want
no wars of conquest we must avoid the
temptation of territorial aggression.
War should never be entered upon until
every agency of peace has failed; peace
Is preferable to war In almost every con-
tingency. Arbitration - the true meth
cd of settlement of intt~A tlonal as well
as local or Individual difference. 1t was
recognized as the best means of adj
justment Of differences between employ
ers and employees by the Forty-ninth
congress, in 1886, and its application
was extended to our diplomatic relations
by the unanimous concurrence Of the
senate and house of the Ffty-frst con-
Cress in 1890. The latter resolution was
accepted as the basis Of negotiations
with us by the British house Of commons
in 1898, and upon our invitation treaty
of orhitre tion between the limited States
and Great Britain was signed at Wash
ington and transmitted to the senate for
its ratification in January last. Since
this treaty Is clearly the result Of our
own initiative; since 1t has been recog-
nized as the leading feature of our for
eign policy throughout our entire ma
tlonal history-the adjustment Of diff
culties by judicial methods rather than
oy force of arms-and since it presents
to the world the glorious example of rea-
son and peace, not passion and war, con-
trolling the relations between two of the
greatest nations of the world, an ex-
ample certain to be followed by others,
I respectfully urge the early action of
the senate thereon, not merely as a mat
ter of policy. but as duty to Eankind
The Importance and moral influence OF
the ratification Of such a treaty can
hardly be overestimated in the cause of
advancing civilization. 1t may well en-
gage the best thought of the statesmen
and people of every country, and can
not but consider it fortunate that it was
reserved to the United States to have
the leadership in so grand work.

Economy is demanded in every branch
Of the government at all times, but es-
pecially in periods like the present Of de-
preston in business and distress among
the people. The severest economy must
be observed in all public expenditures
and extravaganza stopped wherever 1t Is
found, and prevented wherever in the
future ii may be developed. If the rev.
enues are to remain as now, the only re-
lief that can come must be from de-
creased expenditures. But the present
must not become the permanent condl-
ton of the government. 1t has been our
uniform practice to retire, not increase
our outstanding obligations, and this
policy must be resumed, and vigorously
enforced. Our revenues should always

promptness not only our current needs.
