Washington. President Wilson's
address follows in full;
Gentlemen of the Congress-m my
report "On the State Of the Union"
which l had the privilege of reading to
you on the LIST of December last, I
venture to reserve for discussion at a
later date the subject of additional
legislation regarding the very diff
cult and intricate matter of trusts and
monopolies. The time now seems oppor-
tune to turn to that great question; not
only because the currency legislation
which absorbed your attention and The
attention Of the country in December
is now disposed Of, but also because
opinion appears to be clearing about
us with singular rapidity in this other
great field of action. In the matter of
the currency it cleared suddenly and
very happily after the much debated
act was passed; in respect to the mo
nopolies which have multiplied about
us and in regard to the various means
by which they have been organized
and maintained 1t seems to be coming
to a clear and all but universal agree
ment in anticipation Of our actin, as
if by the way Of preparation, making
the way easier to set out upon with
confidence and withiut confusion Of
counsel.
