business prosperity Of the country.
The great diversity Of treatment in
different States arising from this
cause and the intimate relations of all
parts Of the country to each other with
out regarding State lines in the con-
duct of business have made the en-
forcement of State laws difficult.
It is apparent that uniformity OF
legislation upon this subject in the sew
eral States is much to be desired. 1t is
to be hoped that such uniformity
founded in a wise and just discrimin-
alton between what is injurious and
what is useful and necessary in bust
ness operations may be obtained and
that means may be found for the Con-
gress within the limitations of its con-
stitutional power SO to supplement an
effective code of State legislation as to
make complete system of laws
throughout the United States adequate
to compel a general observance of the
salutary rules to which have re-
ferred.
The whole question is SO important
and far-reaching that am sure no part
Of it will be lightly considered, but
every phase of it will have the studied
deliberation of the Congress, resulting
in wise and judicious action.

which can come to Cuba is the restor-
alton Of her agricultural and indus
trial prosperity. which will give en-
ployment to idle men and re-establish
the pursuits of peace. This is her
chief and immediate need.
On the 18th Of August last an order
was made for the taking of the census
in the island, to be completed on the
Both of November. BY the treaty of
peace the Spanish people on the is
land have until April IL, 1900, to elect
whether they will remain citizens of
Spain or become citizens of Cuba. UR-
til then it cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned who shall be entitled to par
ticipate in the formation Of the govern
ment OF Cuba. BY that time the re-
suits of the caucus will have been tabu-
lated and we shall proceed to provide
for elections which will commit the
municipal governments Of the island
to the officers elected by the people.
The experience thus acquired will
prove Of great value in the formation
of a representative convention of the
people to draft constittion and es-
tablish a general system of independ-
ert government for the island. In the
meantime and so long as we exercise
control over the island the products of
Cuba should have market in the I'm
tied States On as good terms and with
as favorable rates of duty as are given
to the West India islands under treat
les of reciprocity which shall be made.
I would recommend appropriate leg
islation in order to carry into execu-
ton article VII. of the treaty of peace
with Spain, by which the United States
assured the payment Of certain claims
for indemnity of its citizens against
Spain.

am gratifed to announce that the
treaty of peace has restored friendly
relations between the two powers.
The withdrawal of the authority of
Spain from the island of Cuba was eff
fected by the first of January, so that
the full establishment of peace
found the relinGuished territory held
by us in trust for the inhabitants. In
the joint resolution adopted by the
Congress on the 10Th of April, 1893
the United States disclaimed any dis
position or intention to exercise sover-
eighty, jurisdiction, or control over
Cuba, except for the pacifcation there
of, and asserted it's determination
when that was accomplished to leave
the government and control of the is
land to its people. The pledge con-
tanned in this resolution is of the high
est honorable obligation and
MUST BE sACREDLY KEPT,
1 believe that substantial progress
has been made in this direction.
This nation has assumed before the
world grave responsibility for the fu-
ture good government OF Cuba We
have accepted a trust the fulfllTnent
of which calls for the sternest integrity
of purpose and the exercise OF The
highest wisdom. The new Cuba yet
to arise from the ashes of the past must
needs be bound to US by ties of singu-
lar intimacy and strength if its en-
during welfare is to be assured.
Whether those ties shall be organic or
conventional, the destinies Of Cuba are
in some rightful form and manner ir
reyocably linked with our own. but
how and how far is for the future to
determine in the ripeness of events.
Whatever be the outcome. we must see
to it that free Cuba be a reality, not a
name, a perfect entity, not hasty ex-
pertinent bearing within itself the ele-
ments of failure. Our mission. to ac-
complish which we took up the wages
of battle, is not to be fulfilled by turn

cation and the recurring occasions for

The inconvenience and possible rer-
lis Of the tripartite scheme of -saper-

The arrangement under which Samoa
was administered and proved inlprac-
ticable and unacceptable TO all the

would not be compatible with our in
terests in the archipelago. To relin-

We could not have considered any pro-
position for the abrogation of the tri-
partite control which did not corfrIn
us in all our rights and safeguard all
our national interests in the islands.
Our views commended themselves to
the other powers. A satisfactory ar
rangement was concluded between fhc
governments of Germany and Of Eng
land, by virtue of which England re-
tired from Samoa in view of c0mpen-

powers renounced in favor of the Unit
