cessity to be efficient, economical
and enterprising, masters or COM
petitive supremacy, better workers
and merchants than any IN the
world. Aside from the duties
laid upon articles which We do not
and probably cannot produce there
fore, and the duties laid upon lux
uries and merely for the sake OF
the revenue they yield, the object
of the tariff duties henceforth
laid must be effective competition,
the whetting of American wits by
contest with the wit of the rest OF
the world"
Advising against reckless haste
the President said: I'VE must
make changes in our fiscal laws,
in our fiscal system whose object
is development, more free ana
wholesome development, not revo-
luton or upset or confusion"
The message called for the up
building of trade. especially for
eign trade, and the promotion OF
industry as we'll. adopting freedom
in the place of artificial stimula-
tion SO far as it will build, not pull
down.
"In dealing with the tariff, said
the President, 1.-The method by
which this may be done will be
matter of Judgment, exercised,
tenn by item.
1T is best. indeed it is neces-
sary to begin with the tariff. l
will urge nothing upon you now
at the opening of your session
which can obscure that first OBJ
ject or divert our energies from
that clearly defined duty. At a
later time l may take the liberty
of calling your attention to reforms
which should press close upon the
heels of the tariff changes, II not
accompany them. of which the chief
is the reform of your currency and
banking laws.
For the present. / put these
matters on one side and think only
of this one thing-of the changes
in our fiscal system which may
best serve to open once more the
free channels of prosperity to a
great people whom We would serve
to the utmost and throughout both
rank and file"

mission. That Mr. Olmstead will be the
man to appease all the people interested
in the civic plan although more expensive
was the conclusion as to the landscape
architect.
When Mr.. Olmstead Is employed ii was
the opinion of the park commission that
the work of that body should be suspend
ed and allow Mr. Olmstead to work di-
rectly under the city commission. That
better results could be thereby attained
was the general impression. The park
commissioners will. as public spirited citi-
zens and interested in the betterment of
the city, cooperate with the city commits
sion in all practical and consistent lines
That a law should be drafted designed
to appoint park commissioners for Bir-
mingham with powers self-contained and
without having to report to the city COM
mission was agreed. That the law max
ers will be requested to arrange such a
commission was stated Generally speak
ing the conference was gratifying to all
those interested.
