Banking and Currency Reform
A comparison of the busin
methods and institutions of
powerful and successful commend
rivals with our own, is sure to
of immense value. / urge ull
congress the Importance of a
partisan and disinterested study
of our banking
currency system. 1t is idle
dream of commercial expansion,
of the development of our natio
trade on a scale that measures
to our matchless opportunities,
less we can lay a solid foundat
in a sound and enduring bankiV
and currency system. The probl
is not partisan, is not sectional
is national.
In the army of the United Stat
In addition to the regular forces a !
the militia forces which may
summoned to the defense of II
nation by the president, there
also the volunteer force, Will
made up very large part of Il
army in the civil war, and which
any war of long continuance wouj
become it's most important constitl
ent. There is now pending 4
congress a bill repeating the pre-
ent volunteer act and making pr
vision for the organization of VI
unteer forces in time of war, viii
is admirably adapted to meet t
exigencies which would be then pI.
sented. The passage of the b
would not entail a dollars expen
upon the government at this tim
or in the future, until war come
but when war does come the met
DDS directed are in accordance wi
the best military judgment as
what they ought to be, and the a
would prevent the necessity for II
discussion of new legislation ar
the delays incident to its consider
tion and adoption. | earnestly ur,
the passage of this volunteer bill
Philippine Islands
During the last summer, at n
request, the secretary of war vi
tied the Philippine islands and h
described his trip in his report.
found the islands in a state of ira
guilty and growing prosperity, o.
ing largely to the change in Il
tariff laws, which has opened Il
markets of America to the produc
of the Philippines, and has open,
the Philippine markets to Americ:
manufactures. The rapid increa
in the trade between the two cou
tries is inded pleasing.
Rivers and Harbors
have already expressed n
opinion to congress in respect to Il
character of the river and harb
bills which should be enacted in
law; and I have exercised as mu,
power as I have under the law {
recting the chief of engineers
make his reports to congress co
form to the needs of the commit
forming such a bill in determinil
which of the proposed improvement
is the more important and ought
be completed first, and promptly.
National Incorporation
In special message last year
brought to the attention OF congre
the propriety and wisdom of enat
ing a general law providing for Il
Incorporation of industrial al
other companies engaged in inte
state commerce, and I renew n
recommendation in that behalf
Claims
| invite the attention of congre
to the great number of clair
which, at the instance of cohgres
have been considered by the cou
of claims and decided to be val
claims against the government. T.
delay that occurs in the payment
the money due under the claims
jures the reputation of the COVER
ment as an honest debtor, and
earnestly recommend that tho
claims which come to congress wi
the judgment and approval of t
court of claims should be prompt
paid.
Judicial Procedure
One great crying need in t
United States is cheapening the CO
Of litigation by simplifying judici
procedure and expediting final jud

poor man is at a woeful disadva
