The act was intended to give effeel. on unr side, to an arrangenient made with the Spanish Gov ernment, by which drwrimnating duties of ton nage were lo be abolished in the purls of the .Uni ted States and Spain, on the vessels f the two nations.

It is underssoudf however, that a Minister was enbscouentry appointed by th Government to renew the'negoliation in theU. States, but, though daily expucted, he has not yet arrived in this counlry. . With Tent no treaty baa yet been formed, and with Bolivia no diplomatic intercourse has yet been established.

I deem it proper to reotuimeiid to your notice the revision of our consular system. This , has become an important branch of the public service, inasmuch as it is intimately connected with the preservation of our national character 1 abroad, with the interest of our citizens in foreign coun tries, with the regulation and esre of our com merce, and with' the protection of" nr seamen. lAt,thexj:loae of the Jast session of Congress I enmoiuncaled a report than the 5ecretary ot r . . containing infbi mation which may be . e : ..U t - efuS in any innuiries that Conereas may see fit to instt lute with a view to salutary reform of the sys tem. It cives me "mat pleasnro to congratulate yon ' j npoo the prosperous condition of the finances of the country, as will appear trom tne report wnicn the Secretary of the Treasury will, in due lime, lay before you. The receipts into the Treasury during the present year, will amount to more) than thirty-two millions of dollars. The reve nue derived from customs will, it is believed, be more than twenty-eight millions, and the public landi will yield about three nilmon9. t he ex- n..diturea within the vear. tor all obi objects, ineiu W the uablie dinir 42 674.340 9i on account millions; and a large balance will remain in the Treasury, that arrrani oo-heteyeone ttie s&.. The measures taken, hv the N?cretrv of lb X TmMTf will Mnlisklv naJihfTiifl3 tn mv aIT Sm- ; been paid on acc0U.1t of the public debt. The) 1 payment of this stock will reduce the whole debt j D( the United States, fnnded and unfunded,, to tbe sum nf $1.7 60,082 OS. And 'M proVisienav has already been made for the four ' and a half 'jas I yr nt. alnve mentioned, and charged? iriftae) ; expenses of the present year, tnesnn) last, slteI r-. ; .11 ik.i ,.min. or thsutinhal rieht laaat J the revenue of the eotning year, together ,isithr- ftjt S-i iha lilan,- now in the Treasiirr. will he' anflaV ' : cient to discharge it, af-.er meeting the current 'V expencesof the Government. Under tho pow er given to the roininissioners of tbe Sinking Fund, it will, I have no doubt, be purchased 6u favorable terms within the year.' Frnm this view of the state of the finances, and the public ettgagemenls yet to be fulfilled, you will perceive that, if Providence permits me to meet yon at another session, I shall have tho high gratification ofannnuocing to you that tho . I national debt is extinguished. 1 cannot refrain j from expressing the pleasure I feel at the hear approach of that desirable event. The short pe riod of time within which the public debt ! will have ieen discharged, is strong evidence of ths abundant re sirens of the .country, and of the prudence and economy with which the Govern ment has heretofore been administered.

The receipts of the present year do not furnish Hia test by whicli we are to estimate the income of the next. The changes made in our revenue system by tho acts of Congress of 183-2 and 1913. and more es I ai pecially by the limner, have swelled the receipt)' " of the present year far beyond the amount to be expected in future years upon the redtieed tan,lj of duties. The shortened credits on revenue' bohdg, and the cash duties on woollens which were introduced by the aet of 1832, and took ef fect cm the l-n nl' .March last, have brought large sums into the Tn'ssury-in 183, whieh, necor diutf !" tho . cndiis formerly given, would not haveheeh pnyahe'urltiVr formed a part of ine income of that year. These causes would of themselves pruduoe a great iliin iuutiun of the reucipis in the year 1934. ascoui '(uaaTiauxn ioni ioobts faas.J I.' 7 V .1 '
