Appropriations for emergency re-
lief purposes will be completely ex-
hausted early in February. Hence
1t is vitality necessary that unob-

appropriated be made Immediately

year 1885 and the transition period.
Through such action no new appro-
priation will be required to carry

The Fiscal Year 1886
In the budget message of last
year I said. speaking Of the fiscal
year 1886. that we should plan TO
have a definitely balanced budget
for the third year Of recovery and
from that time on to seek a con
tinued reduction of the national
debt.
Despite the substantial measure
Of recovery achieved since that
statement was made. unemployment
is still large. The states and local
units now provide q smaller pro-
portionate share OF relief than a
year ago and the federal govern
ment Is therefore called upon TO
continue to aid in this necessary
work.
