Referring to the Nicaragua canal the
nussage gays. "I tint tpiite willing t
recommend government promotion in
the prosecution ol a wort which, if no
other means off' red for seem ing its con -plelion,
is ol such transcendent interest
that the government should, in my opin
ion secure it by dirtct uppiopriutious
from its ireasurv."
The Tariff.
"It it interesting to know that during
the year ending Sept. 1891, our itnpotts
ol merchandise amounted to $H2Jr715,
271, an increase of more $U,U0U.UUo
over the value ot the imports ol corres
ponding months ol the preceding year."
"I believe that a lew will dist.ute
the fact thnt the tariff act of thcSHt
congress is favorable in its average elf.it
on the prices ol uruclcs entering into
common use.
"There is eertnmlv nothing in the con
dition of our ueonle of anv cluss to Sug
gest thnt the existing tarin revenue leg
islation bears ilepressingly on the people
. . It cannot be dented thnt all the
conditions of prosperity and of general
contentment are present in n larger de
gree than ever before in our htstnrv, and
that, too. just when it was prophesied
that thev would be 111 the worst state.
"1 think there nre conclusive evidences
that the new tariff has created several
great industries which will within a few
years give employment to several hun
dred thousand American workiugmen
and women. Iu view of the somewhat
overcrowded condition of the labor mar
ket ol the United States, every patriotic
citizen should rejoice at such a result."
Finances.
On the financial question the president
savs: "Upon this sulncct, as upon the
tariff, mr recommendation Is that the
existing laws be given full trial On
November i the market price in silver)
was only Dli'vents. which would give to
the ailver dollur a bullion value of 7414c.
, , . , That) the increased volume of
currency that Supplied by the 8lie"na n
bill! tor the use -d

and price nan ,
I think must lie very clear to every one "
"1 am still of the opinion that the free
roinnce silver under existintf condi
lions would disastrously affect our busi
ness interests nt home ..nd abroad."
The New Navy.
"Twentj-iour war ships of all classes
are now under construction in all navy
yards and private shops but while the
work upon them is ijoini; lorward sntis
'aciorilv, the completion ol the more im
oortani vessels will yet acquire about a
years' time."
PellMlOllH.
"The appropriation for the paymeni
of pensions for the fiscal year 1H90-91
was $127,6S5,7!3 8'.) and the nmonni

and also the jiratilt iirj; fact that the per

"The post -r I'fiieral recommends,
and I concur in the recommendation,
that the free delivery system lie at oiut

"It is not just that the farmer who

Agnes Huntington's tights nre to np'

They have already appeared before a
lurge number of la v judges, who seemed
to think they were a superior article.
The supreme court, however, will not
view them from an artistic hut from a
legal standpoint, in order to ascertain
t heir relation to the tariff law. Phila

the United states supreme court when
the question comes liefore them as to
whether Agnes Huntington's tights are
weuring apparel or toolsnf trane in the
meaning ol the customs law. Have we
no Gilbert end Sullivan to do this np as
is deserves to be ? Boston Herald.
While there will not probnblv be any
