FINANCIAL ACT of 1900.
It's Effect as to Modification of National
banking Act Is Apparent.


The beneficial effect of the financial
act of 1900, SO far as it relates to the
modification of the national bankine
act, is already apparent. The provision
for the incorporation of national banks
with capital of not less than $25. 600 in
places not exceeding 5000 inhabitants
has resulted in the extension of bank
ing facilities to many small commun.
tiles hitherto unable to provide them.

al banks, of which 266 We're with can
ital less than s50,000 and 1O3 with can't
tai of $4,000 or more.
It is worthy of mention that the
greater number of banks being organ
ICED under the new law are in sections
where the need OF banking facilities has
been most pronounced. Iowa stands
first with thirty banks Of the smaller
class, while Texas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory, and the middle and western
sections of the country have also
awaited themselves largely of the priv
ileges under the new law.
A large increase in national bank
note circulation has resulted from the
provision of the act which permits ma
tional banks to issue circulating notes
to the par value of the United States
bonds deposited as security instead Of
only W per cent lHeFeOI, as heretofore
The increase in circulating notes from
March IA to Nov. 80 is $77,8Ss, $40.
The party in power is committed to
such legislation as will better make the
currency responsive to the varying
needs Of business at all seasons and in
all sections
Our forei y trade shows remarka-
BILE record of commercial and Industrial
progress. The total of imports and ex
ports for the first time in the his
tory of the country exceeded 50, 600, O0O,-

have ever been before, the total for
the fiscal year 1900 being 81, 1874, 4S3, 0S2,
an increase over 1899 Of $167, 459,7SO, an
increase over 1898 of $163 OOO,752, over

I recomm nd that congress at its
present session reduce the internal rev.

of the war with Spain in the sum of
100000. "his reduction should he
secured by the remission Of those taxes
which experience has shown to be the
most cumbersome to the industries of

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.
Countries with Which Special Agreement
Have Been Prnclaimad.

Couhtrles with Which Special Agreements
Have Been Proclaimed.
Since my last communication to the
congress on this subject special COM
mercial agreements under the third
section of the tariff act have been pro-
claimed with Portugal, with Italy and
Germany Commercial conventions
under the general limitations of the
fourth section of the same act have
been concluded with Nicaragua, with
Ecuador, with the Dominican republic,
with Great Britain on behalf of the
Island of Trinidad, and with Denmark
on behalf of the Island of ST. Croix.
Ihese will be early communicated to
the senate. Negotiations with other
governments are in progress for the
Improvement and security Of our COM
mercial relations.
The policy of reciprocity so manifest
~ rests upon the principles of interna-
tional equity and has been so repeated
ly approved by the people of the Unit
ed States, that there ought to be no
hesitation in either branch of the con-
gress in giving to it full effect.
This government desires to preserve
the most just and amicable commercial
relations with all foreign countries, un-
moved by the industrial rivalries neces-
sarily developed in the expansion of
international trade. 1t is believed that
the foreign governments generally en-
tertain the same purpose, although in
some Instances there are clamorous de-
mands upon them for legislation specifi-
cally hostile to American interests.
Should these demands prevail shall

AT the outgoing of the old and the

the last session Of the Fifty-sixth con
gress with evidences on every hand of
individual and national prosperity and
with proof OF the growing strength and

JOIN With you in felicitation that Amer
lcan liberty is more, firmly established
than ever before, and that love for it
and the determination to preserve it
are more universal than at any former
period of our history.
The republic was never so strong, be-
cause never so strongly intrenched in
the hearts Of the people as now. The
constitution, with few amendments, ex-
lists as it left the hands of it's authors.

When the sixth congress assembled
n November, 1900, the population of
now 76,304799. Then we had sixteen
states. Now we have forty-five. Then
our territory consisted of 909 O5O square

Kept pace with our advancement in 9TH

Its foundation principles and abated
none of them in dealing with our new
peoples and possessions. A nation so
preserved and blessed gives reverent
thanks to God and invokeds His guild
ance and the continuation Of His care
and favor.
In our foreign intercourse the domi-
nant question has been the treatment
of the Chinese problem. Apart from
this our relations with the foreign pow
ers have been happy.
The recent troubles in China spring
from the anti-foreign agitation, which
for the past three years has gained
strength in the northern provinces
Their origin lies deep in the character
of the Chinese races and in the tradi-
lions of their government. The Taip-
ing rebellion and the opening of Chi
nese ports to foreign trade and settle
ment disturbed alike the homogeneity
and the seclusion of China.
Meanwhile foreign activity made it
self felt in all quarters, not alone on
the coast, but along the great river ar
teries and in the remoter districts, car
rying new ideas and introducing new
associations among primitive people
which had pursued for centuries ma
tional policy of isolation.

Overtnres for a Convention to Effect Its

The all-important matter of an inter-
oceanic canal has assumed new phase
Adhering to it's refusal to reopen the
question of the forfeiture of the con-
tract of the Maritime Canal company
which was terminated for alleged non.
execution in October, 1899, the govern
ment Of Nicaragua has since supple
mented that action by declaring the So
styled Eyre Cramin option void for
non-payment Of the stipulated advance
Protests in relations to these acts have
been filed IN the state department. and
self relieved from existing engage

shows disposition to deal freely with
the canal question either in the way Of
negotiations with the United States or
by taking measures to promote the wa

Overtures for convention to effect
the building of canal under the aus
pices of the United States are under
consideration. In the meantime the
views of the congress upon the general
subject, in the light Of the report of
the commission appointed to examine
the comparative merits Of the various
trans-isthmian ship canal projects NAV
be awaited.
I commend to the early attention of
the, senate the convention with Great
Britain to facilitate the construction Of
such a canal and to remove any obiec-
