silent, ! recommend that an examination
be made into the subjects Of citizenship,
repatriation, and protection Of Ameri-
cans abroad, with view to appropriate
legislation, d
Currency.
The attention Of the Congress should
be especially given to the currency ques-
ton, and that the standing committees
on the matter in the two houses charged
! with the duty, take up the matter Of our
currency and see whether 1t Is not pos
slble to secure an agreement In the bust
ness world for lettering the system; the
committees should consider the question
Of the retirement Of the greenbacks and
the problem of securing N our currency
such elasticity as Is consistent with safe
| ty. Every silver dollar should be made
by law redeemable in gold at the option
Of the holder.
Merchant Marine.
| especially commend to your immedl-
ate attention the encouragement Of our
merchant marine by appropriate legisla-
ton.
{, Tariff.
| On The tariff l shall communicate with
you later.
Immigration and Naturalization.
In dealing with the questions Of imml-
grafton and naturalization 1t Is indis-
pensable to keep certain facts over be-

acting the laws. First and foremost, lot
us remember that the question Of being
a good American has nothing whatever
to do with mans birthplace any more
than 1t has to do with his creed, I In
every generation from the time this gov
eminent was founded men Of foreign
birth have stood In the very foremost
rank of good citizenship, and that not
merely In one but In every field Of Amer
lean activity; while to try to draw a dis
tinotion between the man whose parents
came to this country and the man whose
ancestors came to 1t several generations
back Is mere absurdity. Good Ameri-
