to reoeive the Wabash system, thus
giving the Baltimore & Ohio a line to

nitude of a deal of this kind can scarcely
be understood, but it is known to the
officials of the Gould system here that
the ; Baltimore & Ohio have long been
seeking to extend their operations west
of the Mississippi river. The information
is believed to be thoroughly reliable,
ts it is ssid to be substantiated by a
memorandum made by the late H. M.
Hoxie, prior to his death, and f found
among certain papers that bad been laid
away for future referenee. The secret
leaked out through a party who de

To the President :
The Secretary of State has the honor
to submit to the Presindent with a view
to it" communication to Congress, a cor
respondence relative to the fisheries in
the waters adjacent to British Worth
America which has taken place during
the present year. It will disclose the
action of this department- and of our
Minister to i Great Britain in rela

of the convention of 1818,and what has
been done to procure such an interpre
tation of its provisions as will be accep
table to both parties to that instrument,
and consistent with their mutual interest
and honor.
From time to time since the corclu
sion of the treaty of 1818, differences
have arisen between the two govern-
ersments ss to the extent of the renun

The annual report of Secretary of the
Treasury Manning to Congress, is main
ly devoted to the consideration of the
silver question and currency and taxa
tion reform. In regard to the silver
question, he says: "The act of 187S
whioa 'demonetizsd the standard silver
dollar, and the 'act of 1878. whioh 're
monetised' it, are so nearly identical
that a co mm in authorship might be sus
pected. The act of 1873 has been de
nounced and praised for demonetising
silver, whioh it did not do. The act of
1878 has been praised and denounced
for remonetiiiog silver, Which it did not
do. ' Both took a sure way to keep our
fractional silver at home. Exportation
would only be possible at a loss on the
silver coined under either act. In both
acts monotiiation is denied except to
Treasury purchases . "
The Secretary reviews at length the
action of foreign governments on the su
revenue, and

company says that they will build from
Norfolk to, Monroe, N. C. where they
ill connect with the Ssaboard and
Roanoke Air Line, controlled by John
M. Robinson, of Baltimore. This sys

the period from 1818 to the present

THB SILVBB QUESTION.
is an international one, and both our
owa silver and surplus problem
are involved in it. The Sec
retary is of the opinion that
the time for another conference has not
arrived, and the moment for diplomatic
interfarenoa is not felicitous. Treasury
silver purchwe is character. s id as "an
ex pen so and a taxation demonstrated by
experience to be of no avail."
TO STOP THB PCBCHASBOf SILVBB
is our only choice, our duty, and our
interest. It will stop a wasteful aad
injurious expense, and the taxation
which defrays it. IV will commence
and promote reform in the sum and the
methods of federal taxation. It will
recover to the United States an equality
of position (non-coinagp) with foreign
powers, which will give us due inn i-
enee in negotiation. To in
crease our stock is to increase the diffi
culties of the Treasury, illegitimate and
abnormal difficulties. ' To stop purchas
ing will enable the Treasury to main
tain with certainty and greater ease the
present stock of silver coin at par with
gold in all our fiscal and local issues
"Another year s delay in stopping
tVe silver purchase is the loss of remu
nerative prices upon airbther wheat
crop ofthe United States
It is for Congress to consider whether a
policy -which does not prevent the loss
of 25 per cent off of pur silver output to
a few thousand mine-owners, but pro
longs the loss to many million farmers
oira per oent off the price of their an
nmal wheat crop, should not now be
abandoned and the only policy adopted
which promises to restore the former
prosperity of both.
SUEPLCS TAIATIOSJ.
Employment for the proceeds of our
surplus taxation, reasons for delay in
reducing our surplus taxation, can no
longer be found in a rapid payment of
tie debt. Betting aside the vanishing
three per cents and the unfunded debt
of $346,000,000, the residue of th
public debt has boon in such wise
funded by our predecessors that $250,-
000,000 oannot be-pud except by pur
