IN this sentence the President sums up
his views upon the immigration ques-
ton. In this connection he calls the a.
tention of congress to the recently dis.
covered naturalization frauds. and
urges prompt action. The same men
ton is made of the land frauds and the
postal frauds, and asks that an appro-
pration be made to aid in the imme-
date prosecution of the guilty ones.
The message also recommends max
ing bribery eXtraditabie.
International Disputes.
Much space is devoted to discus
sion of the Alaskan boundary decision,
the matter of the claims against Ven-
ezuela, and draws conclusions to the
effect that the sentiment among the
civilized nations OF the world is turn
ing more and more to favor interna-
tional arbitration. He renews the
recommendation made by the late
President Mckinley in 1885 that pri-
vate property at sea be regarded rs

powers.

Special attention is called to the de

during the last fiscal year We're $780,
396.674. The expenditures for the
same period amounted to $506,099,00I.
leaving a surplus of $54 ,297 667. The
President points out the fact that the
receipts from customs are growing
smaller and that this year there will
be little or no surplus. He advises
strict care over appropriations and eN-
penditures and sharp scanning of
any change that will reduce the ma
tons revenue from customs.
Currency System is Right.
The President thinks that any
change in the monetary system would
be unwise and needless. He states
that the integrity OF the currency is
beyond question and calls attention to
some suggestions in his message OF
a year ago with regard to certain
needs OF the financial situation.
For Merchant Marine.
The message recommends the APP

The President congratulates the ma
ton upon the control secured over cor
porations through the department CT
CONNER and labor and its bureau OF
corporations. the enforcement of the
Federal antitrust law, and the adj
vance in the work of the interstate
commerce bureau. The message then
reviews at length the establishment
OF the department OF commerce and
labor, and details its work and benefits
to be derived from it
Capital and Labor.
The message states specifically that
ii shall be the aim and object of the
Federal government to treat corpora
tons, unions and individuals, all alike
and all fairly. to allow no intract!on OF
any of the nations laws by either, no
matter how strong CT in how high
position. This is summed up in the FOL
lowing. No man is above the law,
and no man is below it: nor do we ask
any mans permission when we require
him to obey it, Obedience to the law
is demanded as right; not asked as a
favor

ton and the establishment of schools

bic with Colombia growing out of the

mentioned are now history and they
are treated from the standpoint OF the

ed States in respect to the de facto
government of Panama is made clear
and that it was the only course this
government had open is demonstrated
by the concise review of past events in
the message.

the present demands, and mentions
the fact that in the past year the re-
ceipts of the general land Office have
been S4,762 ,S16.47 in excess of the pre-
ceding year. and that those who have
unlawfully fenced public lands have
shown a Willingness to take down
their fences upon demand. He speaks
in commencing terms of the advance
made in irrigation and the retaining
of arid lands.
The action of congress in strength
ening the safety appliance law is men
toned with a word of qualification.
Pensions.

serves so well of the nation as those to
whom the nation owes its very being,
the veterans of the Civil war;" says
the message, and special attention is
called to the work of the pension bu-

the Germans have put on twenty three
knot steamers, and the British have
contracted for twenty -four knot steam
ers. Our service should equal the
best If it does not the commercial
stay in the business it ought to be with
a full understanding of the advantages
to the country on one hand, and on the
other with exact knowledge OF the cost

We cannot have too much ,immigra-

which undesirable immigrants shall be
kept out entirely. while desirable i'm
migrants are properly distributed
throughout the country. At present
some districts which need immigrants
have none, and in. others, where the
population is already congested. immi-
grants come in such numbers as to de
press the conditions of life for those
already there. During the last two
years the immigration service at New
York has been greatly improved, and
the corruption and ineificiency which

Needs of Financial Situation. h,,
The Integrity of ouricurrency is be-
You'd question. and under present con-
ditions it would be unwise and unnec-
cssary to attempt reconstruction of
our entire monetary system. The same
liberty should be granted the secretary
of the treasury TO deposit customs re-
ceipts as Is granted him in the deposit
of receipts from other sources. In my
message of Dec ., 1892. l called atten-
ton to certain needs of the financial
situation, and | again ask tie consider
.ition OF the congress for these ques-
tons.
During tile last session of the con
gress. at the suggestion of Il joint note
from the republic OF Mexico and the
imperial government of China. and in
harmony with an act of the congress
approprating $4,000 to pay the eX-
penses thereof. Il commission was ap-
pointed to confer with the principals
European countries in the hope that
some plan might be devised whereby Il
fixed rate of exchange could be assured
between the gold standard countries
and the silver standard countries. This
commission has filed its preliminary re-
port. which has been made public. |
deem it important that the commission
be continued and that Il sum of money
be appropriated sufficient to pay the eX-
penses of its further labors.
a majority Of our people desire that
steps be taken in the interests of Amer
lean shipping, SO that we may once
more resume our former position in the
ocean carrying trade. But hitherto the
differences of opinion as to the proper
method of reaching this end have been
so wide that it has proved impossible
! to secure the adoption OF any particular
| scheme. Having in view these facts,
recommend that thecongress direct the
secretary of the navy. the postmaster
general and the secretary of Amerce
and labor, associated with : sp
| resentation from the senate ..Ist
of representatives as the congress in its
| wisdom may designate, to serve as !;

rine and American commerce and Incl

and naval reserves.
While such a measure is desirable il
