than s95. 600, 900. There was required S.
900 less to support the navy this year
than last, and the expenditures account
of Indians were nearly two and three-quar-
ters million dollars less than In 1899.
The only two items of increase in the pub
lie expenses of 1900 over 1899 are for pen
sions and Interest on the public debt. For
1909 we expended for pensions $139. 1874 800,
and for the fiscal year 1900 our payments on
this account amounted to S140.S77 ,316. The
net Increase of interest on the public debt
of 1900 over 1899 required by the war loan
was $263, ,4OS. 20.
Bonds Speedily Taken.
While Congress authorized the govern
ment to make war loan of $400, ,O00, 600 at
the beginning of the war with Spain, only
$500, 600, 600 of bonds was issued, hearing 3
per cent interest, which were promptly and
patriotically taken by our citizens.
Unless something unforeseen occurs TO
duce our revenues or increase our expendi-
lures. the Congress at its next session should
reduce taxation very materially.
Fifty years ago we were selling govern
ment bonds bearing as high as 5 per cent In
terest. Now we are redeeming them with a
bond at par bearing per cent interest. We
are selling our surplus products and lending
our surplus money to Europe
Europe Is Our Debtor.
One result of our selling to other nations
SO much more than we have bought from
them during the past three years is a radical
Improvement of our financial relations. The
great amounts Of capital which have been
borrowed of Europe for our rapid, material
development have remained a constant drain
upon our resources for interest and divi-
dends and made our money markets liable
to constant disturbances by calls for pay
ment or heavy sales of our securities when
ever money stringeney or panic occurred
abrsad. We have now been paying these
debts and bringing home many of our se-
curities and establishing countervaiiing
credits abroad by our loans and placing our
selves upon a sure foundation Of financial
independence.
In the unfortunate contest between Great
Britain and the Boer states of South Africa
the United States has maintained an atti-
tude of neutrality in accordance with its
~weli-known traditional policy 1t did not
hesitate, however, when requested by the
governments of the South African republics.
to exercise Its good offices for cessation of
hostiities.
Did What We Could.
1t is to be observed that while the south
African republics made like request Of other
powers, the United States Is the only one
which complied. The British government
declined to accept the Intervention of any
power.
Ninety one per cent of our exports and I'M
ports are Lew carried by foreign ships For

"A subject of Immediate Importance to
our country is the completion Of a great
waterway of commerce between the Atlantic
and Pacific. The construction of q mari
time canal is now more than ever indispen-
sable to that intimate and ready communi-
cation between our eastern and western sea-
ports, demanded by the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands and the expansion Of our
influence and trade in the Pacific.
Our national policy more imperatively
than ever calls for Its completion and con-
troll by this government, and 1t is believed
that the next session of Congress. after re-
ceiving the full report of the commission ap-
pointed under the act approved March 3,
1899, will make provisions for the sure ac-
complishment Of this great work.
Would Restrict Trusts.
Combinations of capital which control the
market in commodities necessary to the gen.
erai use of the people by suppressing nat
ural and ordinary competition, thus en-
haneing prices to the general consumer, are
obnoxious to the common law and the public
welfare. They are dangerous conspracies
against the public good, and should be made
the subject of prohibitory or penal legisla-
tion.
Publicity will be a helpful influence to
check this evil. Uniformity OF legislation in
the different States should be secured. Dis
elimination between what Is injurious and
what Is useful and necessary In business
operations Is essential to the wise and effect
I've treatment of this subject.
Honest cooperation OF capital Is necessary
to meet new business conditions and extend
our rapidly increasing foreign trade, but
conspiracies and combinations intended to
restrict business. create monopolies and con-
troll prices should be effectively restrained.
Best Friends of Labor.
The best service which can be rendered to
labor is to AFFORD 1t an opportunity for
steady and remunerative employment and
give 1t every encouragement for advance
meut. The policy that subserves this end Is
the true American policy. The past three
years have been more satisfactory to Ameri-
can workingmen than many preceding years.
Any change of the present industrial or
financial policy of the government would be
disastrous to their highest interests
with prosperity at home and an increas-
Ing foreign market for American products
employment should continue to wait upon
labor, and with the present gold standard
the workingman is secured against payment
for his labor In a deprecated currency. For
labor a short day Is better than short dol
lar. One will tighten the burdens, the other
lessons the rewards of toll. The one will
promote contentment and independence, the
other penury and want.
Speaks for Good Wages.
The wages of labor should be adequate to
keep the home In comfort, educate the chill

ports for the year 1900 over those of the ex-
ceptionally prosperous year of 1899 was
about half million dollars for every day
of the year. and these sums have gone into
the homes and enterprises of the people
There has been an increase of over $50 OOO,-
600 in the exports of agricultural products,
S92, ,692,220 In manufactures and in the prod
ucts Of the mines of over S1O.000,000.
Big Gains in Trade.
Our trade balances cannot fail to give sat
isfaction to the people of the country. In
1898 we sold abroad S615.432, 676 of products
more than we bought abroad. in 1899 SJ29.-
,S13 and In 1900 S544, All, ,1O1, making dur
Ing the three years a total balance In our
favor of 81. $50, 7T9, ,190-nearly five times the
balance Of trade in our favor for the whole
period of Jos years from 1890 to June 80,
1897 inclusive.
Four hundred and thirty-six million dol
lars of gold have been added to the gold
stock of the United States since July 1, 1896
The law Of March IA, 1900 authorized the
refunding into 2 per cent bonds of that part
of the public debt represented by the per
cents due in 1908, the per cents due in 1907
and the per cents due in 1904, aggregating
$S40, 100000. More than one-third Of the
sum of these bonds was refunded In the first
three months after the passage Of the act
and.on Sept. the sum had been increased
more than S33, 200, COO. making in all $780,
51S,050. resulting in net saving of over $S,-
379 $40.
Government Saving Money.
The ordinary receipts of the government
for the fiscal year 1900 were S79, ,527 O60 in
excess OF Its expenditures.
While our receipts both from customs and
internal revenue have been greatly increas-
ed. our expenditures have been decreasing
Civil and miscellaneous expenses for the fs-
cal year ending June 80, 1900, were nearly
$14 900, 600 less than In 1899. while on the
war account there Is a decrease OF more

ocean TRANSPORTATION we pay annually to for
eign ship owners over $165 65,000,000 We
ought to the ships for our carrying
trade with the world, and we ought to build
them in American shipyards and man them
with American sailors. Our own citlzens
should receive the transportation charges
now paid to foreigners.
l have called the attention of Congress to
this subject in my several annual messages.
In that of Dec. g. 1897, said:
'Most desirable from every standpoint OF
national interest and patriotism Is the eHort
to extend our foreign commerce. To this
end our merchant marine should be Improved
and enlarged. We should do our full share
of the carrying trade of the world. We do
not do 1t now. We should be the laggard no
longer"
In my message of Dec 5, 1se9 said:
"Our national development will be one-s1ded
and unsatisfactory so long as the remark
able growth of our inland Industries remains
unaccompanied by progress on the seas.
There is no lack of constitutional authority
for legislation which shall give to the coun-
try maritime strength commensurate Win
its Industrial achievements and with It's
rank among the nations Of the earth.
THE past year has recorded exceptional
dCtNity III our Shlpydlus, anu INC PAoAAASSs
of continual prosperity In shipbuilding are
abundant. Advanced legislation for the pro-
lection OF our seamen has been enacted. Our
coast trade, under regulations wisely framed
at the beginning of the government and
since, shows its results for the past fiscal
year unequaIed In our records or those of
any other power.
Need of the Canal.
1--WE shall fail to realize our opportuni-
ties, however. II we complacently regard
only matters at home and blind ourselves to
the necessity of securing our share In the
valuable carrying trade OF the world.
Il now reiterate these views.
