G, 1837 The following is the full text. of j President Cleveland's message sent i to both houses of Congres to-day : j To tfie Con great of the , Un iied BUi let : You arc confronted at the thresh old of your legislative duties with a condition of the national finances which imperatively demands im niediateand careful -consideration. 'The amount of money annually exacted through the operation of the present laws from the industries and necessities of the people largely ex ceeds the sum necessary to meet the expenses of the government. When we consider that the theory of our., institutions guarantees, to every citizen the full enjoyment of all the fruits of his industry and enterprise, wHh only, such dedac, tion us may be his share toward the careful and economical maintenance of the government which protects him, it is plain that the exaction of more than this is indefensible ex tortion, and a culpable betrayal of American fairness and justice. This wrong inflicted upon those who bear the burden of national- taxation, like other wrong. multiplies a brood of evil consequences. The public treasury, which should only exist as a conduit conveying the people's tribute to its legitimate objects of expenditure, becomes a hoarding place for money needlessly with drawn from trade and the people's use, thus crippling our national en ergies, suspending our country's de velopment, preventing investment in productive enterprise, -threatening financial disturbance and invit ing schemes of public plunder. This condilioN of our Treasury is not altogether new, and it has more than once of late been submitted to the people's representatives in the Congress, ijvho alone can apply a remedy. And yet the situation still continues, with agravated inci dents, more than ever presaging fi nancial convulsion and widespread disaster It will not do to neglect this sit uation because its dangers are not now palpably imminent and appar eut. Thev exist none the less cer tainly, and await the uuforseen and 'unexpected occasion when suddenly 'they will be precipitated upon- us. . On the 30th day of June, 1885, the excess of revenues over public expenditures, after, complying with ing fund act, wa3 ltTVsSVI during the year ended June 30th, lt mJ And while the functions of our na tional Treasury should be few and simple, and while its best condition would be reached, I believe, by its entire discomiection with private business interests, yet when, by a perversion of its purposes, it idly holds money uselessly subtracted from the channels of trade, there seems to be reason for the claim that some legitimate means should bedevised by the government to restore in an emergency, without waste or extravagance, such money to its place among the people. If sueh an emergency arises mere now existK no clear and undoubted executive power of fvlicf.' Hereto fore the redemption of three per cent bonds, which were payable at the option of the government, had af forded a means for thedisbursement of the excess of our revenues: but these bonds have all been retired, and there are no bonds outstanding the payment of which we have the right to insists upon. The contri bntion to the sinking fund wftich furnishes the occasion for expendi ture in the purchase of bonds has been alreadv made for the current year, so mat mere is no uuuci, m that direction. . In the present statc'of legislation the only pretence of any existing executive power to restore at this time anv nart of our surplus reve nue to the peopleby its expenditure, consists in the supposition that the Secretary of the Treasury may en ter the market and purchase the bonds of the government not yet due at a rate of premium to. be agreed uuon.' The only provision of law from which such a power cou4d be derived is found in an ap propriation bill passed a number of years ago, and it is subject to the eusnicion that it was intended as temporary and limited in its appli cation,. instead of conferring a con tinuing discretion and authority. No condition ought to exist which would justify the grantbf power to a single official, upon his judgment of its necessity, to withhold from or release to the business of the people, in an unusual manner, mon ey held in the Treasury, and thus affect at his will the financial situa tion of the country; and if it. is deemed wise to lodge in the Secre tary of the Treasury the authority ;n the present juncture to purchase bonds, it should be plainly vested and provided as far as possible with such checks :and limitations as will enumerate if .tnnV tnn larsre . to everything, so come and see for yourselt.

WALIACE condition of financial distress and apprehension since your hut ad journment, which taxed to the ut most all the authority and expedi ents within executive control; and these appear now to be exhausted. U disaster results from the' contin ued inaction of Congress the respon sibility must rest where it belongs. Though the stuation thus far considered is fraught with danger which should be fully realized, and though it presents features of wrong to the people as well as peril to, the country, it is but a result growing out of a perfectly palpable and ap parent cause, constantly reproduc ing the same alarmiiigcircumstances a congested national treasury and a depleted monetary condition m the business of the country. It need hardly be stated that while the present situation demands a remedy, we can only be ,savd from ajike predicament in -ihe future by the removal of its cause. Our scheme of taxation, by means of which this needless surpluo is taken from the people and put into the public treasury,-consists of a tariff or duty levied upon importa tions from abroad, and internal rev enue taxes levied upon the consump tion of tobacco and, spirituous and malt liquors. It ntnst be conceded that none of the things subjected to internal revenue taxation are, strict ly speaking, necessaries; there ap pears to be no just" complaint of this taxaon by the consumers of thefeeWtieles, and there seems to be nothing sd well able to bear the burden without hardship lb any portion of the people. - But'our present tariff laws, the vicious, inequitable and illogical sQurce of unncccessary taxation, ought to be at one revised and amended, These laws, as their pri mary arid plain, effect, raise the price to consumers of all articles imported and'subject to duty, by precisely the sum paid lor sucn du ties. Thus the amount of the duty measures the tax paid by those who purchase for use these imported articles. Many of these things, however, are raised or manufac tured in our own countr and the duties now levied upon foreign goods and products are called protection to these home manufacturers, be cause they render it possible for those of .our people who are manu facturers to make these taxed arti cles and sell them for a price equal to that demanded for the imported in 4- NEW lUEIITUE ! i OF ALL KINDS AT B.

The annual contributions to the sinking fund during the three years above specified, amounting mi the nrr-cr itp to 138 058.3-0.91, and y n deducted from the surplus as stated, were made by calling in for that purpose outstanding three per cent, bonds of the government. During the six months prior to June 30, 1887, the surplus revenue had grown so large by repeated accumulations, and it was feared tin- wunurawai oi this great sum of money needed by the people would so affect the busi ness of the eonutrj', that the sum of 879,864,100 of sueh surplus was applied-to the payment of the prin cipal aiid interest of the; three per cent bonds still outstanding, and which were then payable at the op tion of the government. 1 he pre carious condition of financial affairs among the people still needing re lief, immediately after the 30th day of Juiie, 1887, the remainder of the t.h-rpp. ier cent bonds then outstaud- ingamounting with principal r.d interest to the sum of $18,877,500, wWp nailed in and annlied to the m w w 1 J sinking fund contribution for the current fiscal year.

' It is also said thavt the increase in the price of domestic m sou factum resulting from the present tariff is necessary in order that higher wages may be paid to our working men employed in manufactories than arc paid for .what is called the pauper labor of Europe. All will acknowledge the force of an argu ment which involves the welfare arid liberal compensation of onr la boring people. Our labor is hon-t orable in the eyes of every Ameri can citizen, and as it lies at the foundation of our development and progress it is eniuieu, wimout ai fectation or hypocrisy, to the ut most regard. The standard of our laborer's life should not be meas ured by that of any other country less favored, and they are entitled to their full share of our advantages. By the last census it is made to appear that of the 17,392,099 of our population engaged in all kinds of industries 7,070,493 are employ ed in agriculture, 4,074,2d in pro- a a.

To these the appeal is made to save their employment and main- tain their wages by resisting a change. There should be no dis position to answer such suggestions by the allegation that they are in minority among those who labor, and therefore should forego an ad-i vantage in the interest of low prices for the majority; their com pensation Jas it may be affected by the operation of tariff laws, should at all times be scrupulously kept that they are consumers wun me rest; that they, too, have their own wants and those of tneir families 0nTlir fmm their earnings, ana " I" J thet the price of the necessaries HEMDQUSRTERS V ... . : -toj-j ' : ; . ,:' LARGEST STOCK i i LOWEST PRICES !
