If such cower is vested in the Presi- dent, it is my purpose to appoint com- miaaion or prominent, wll-informed citizens of different parties, who will command public confidence, both on account of their ability and special fit ness for the work. Kusinets experi ence and public training may thus be combined, and the patriotic zeal of tbe irienua or the country be o directed! that uch a report will be made as to receive the support of all parties, and our finance cease to be the subject of I mere r artisan contention. The exper-i iment is, at all event, worth a trial, and in my opinion it ran but prove oeoeociai to the entire country. 'fHIBKlf A7IOKAL RIMHTALUSM. The question of international bimet allism will have early and earnest at tention. It will be my constant en deavor to secure it by co-opperation with the other great commercial pow ers of the world. Until that condi tion is realized when the parity be tween our gold and silver money springs from and is supported by tbe relative value of the two metals, tbe value of silver already coined and of that which may hereafter be coined, mut he kept constantly at par with gold br every resource at our com mand 1 be ;redit of tbe government, the integrity of its currency and tbe iiivioabtiity or its obligations must be preserved. This was tbe commanding verdict of the people and it will not be unheeded. K;onomyis demanded in every branch of tbe government at all times, but especially in periods like he present of depression in business and distress among the people. ECOSOMY IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES. The severest economy must be ob served in all public expenditures, and extravagance stopped wherever it is found, and prevented whenever in the future it may be developed. If the revenues are to remain as now, tbe only relief that can come must be from decreased expenditures. Rut the present must not become the perma nent condition of the government. It has been our uniform practice to retire, not increase, our outstanding obliga tions, and this policy must again be resumed and vigorously enforced. Our revenues should always be large enough to meet with ease and prompt- nens not only our current needs and the principal and interest of the pub lic debt, but to make proper and lib eral provision for that most deserving body of public creditors, tbe soldiers and sailors and the widows and or phans who are the pensioners of the United States. The government should not be permitted to run behind or in crease its debt in times like the pres ent. Suitably to provide against this is the' mandate of dutv; the certain and easy remedy for most of our finan cial difficulties. A deficiency is inev itable so long as tbe expenditures of the government exceed its receipts. It can only be met by loans, or any in creased revenue. While a large annual surplus ot revenue may invite waste and extravagance, inadequate reve nue create distrust and undermines public and private credit. Neither should be encouraged. Between more loans and more revenue, there ought to be but one opinion. INCREASED REVENUE A PUBLIC NECE3 ITY. We should have more revenue, and that without delay, hindrance or post ponement. A surplus in the treas ury, created by loans, is not a perma nent or safe reliance. It will suffice while it lasts but it cannot last lone while the outlays of the government are greater than its receipts, as has been the case during the past two years. Nor must it be forgotten that However much such loans may tem porarily relieve the situation, the gov ernment is still indebted for the amount of tbe turplus thus accrued, which it must ultimately pay. while its ability to pay is cot strengthened, but weakened, by a continued deficit. Loans are imperative in great emerg encies to preserve the government or its credit, but a failure to supply need ed revenue in time of peace for the maintenance of either has no justifi cation. The best way for the government to maintain its credit is to pay as it goes, not by resorting to loans, but by keeping out of debt through an ade quate income secured by a system of taxation, external or internal, or both. it is tn settled policy of the govern ment, pursued from the beginning and practiced by all parties and adminis trations to raise the bulk of our reve nue from taxes upon foreign produc tions entering the United States for sale and consumption, and avoiding. for the most part, every form of di rect taxation, except in time of war. The country is clearly opposed to any needless additions to tbe subject of international taxation, as committed by its latest popular utterance to the system of tariff taxation. There can be no misunderstanding, either about the principle upon which this tariff taxation shall be levied. Nothing hat ever been made plainer at a general election than that the controlling principle in the raising of revenue trom duties on imports is zealous care of small farms. Agriculture has lan guished and labor suffered. The revi-; val of manufacturing will be a relief to both. No portion of our population is mere devoted to the institution of free government nor more total to their support, while none bears mare cheerfully or fully its proper share in tbe maintenance of the government, or is better entitled to its wiae aod lib eral care and protection. Legislation helpful to producers is beneficial to all. The depressed condition of in dustry on the farm and in tbe mine and factory bad lessened tbe ability of tbe people to meet tbe demands upon them, and they rightfully expect that not only a syatem of revenue shall be established that will secure tbe largest income with the least burden, but that every means will be taken to decrease rather than increase our public expen ditures. Business conditions are not tbe most promising; it will take time to restore the prosperity of former years. If we cannot promptly attain if, we can resolutely turn our faces in that direction and aid its return by friendly legislation. However trouble some the situation may appear Coo- f tress will not, I am sure, be found acking in disposition or ability to re lieve it, as far as legislation can do so. Tbe restoration of confidence and tbe revival of business, which men of all parties so much desire, depend more largely upon the prompt, energetic and intelligent action of Congress than upon ai.y other single agency af fecting the situation. It is inspiring, too, to remember that no great agency in the one hundred and eight jeais of our eventful national life has ever arisen that has not been met with wis dom and courage by the American people, with fidelity to their best in terests and highest destiny, and to the honor of the American name. These years of glorious history have exalted mankind and advanced the cause of freedom throughout the world and im measurably strengthened the precious free institutions which we enjoy. The people love and will sustain these in stitutions. EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW Ml ST PRE VAIL. The great essential to 'our happiness and prosperity is that we adhere to tbe principles upon which the govern ment was established and insist upon their faithful observance. Equality of rights must prevail and our laws be always and everywhere respected and obeyed. We may have failed in the discharge of our full duty as citizens of the great republic, but it is consol ing and encouraging to realize that free Bpeech, a free press, free tbought, free schools, the free and unmolested right of religious liberty and worship and free and fair elections are dearer and more universally enjoyed today than ever before. These guarantees must be sacredly preserved and wisely strengthened. The constituted author ities muet be cheerfully and vigorously upheld. Lynchings must not be toler ated in a great and civilized country like tbe United States; courts, not mobs, must execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the in tegrity of courts, and the orderly ad ministration of justice must continue forever the rock of safety upon which our government securely rests. One of the lessons taught by the late elec tion, which all can rejoice in, is that the citizens of the United States are both law-respecting and law-abiding people, not easily swerved from the path of patriotism and honor. This is in entire accord with the genius of our institutions, and but emphasizes the advantages of inculcating even a greater love for law and order in the future. Immunity should be granted to none who violate the laws, whether individuals, corporations or communi ties,' and as tbe Constitution imposes upon the President the duty of both its own execution and of tbe statutes enacted in pursuance of its provisions, I shall endeavor carefully to carry them into effect. AS TO TRUSTS AND COMBINES. The declaration of the party now re stored to power has been in tbe past that of "Opposition to all combina tions of capital organized in trusts, or elsewhere, to control arbitrarily tbe condition of trade among our citizens," and it has supported "Such legislation as will prevent th6 people by undue charges of their supplies, or by unjust rates, for the transportation of their products to market." The purpose will be steadily pursued, both by the enforcement of the laws now in exis tence and the recommendation and support of such new statutes as may be necessary to carry it in tuecr. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. The naturalization and immigration laws should be further improved to the constant promotion of a safer, a better and a higher citizenship. A grave peril to the republic wouldbeaciti zenshiptoo ignorant to understand or too vicious to appreciate the great value and beneficence of our institu tions and laws, and against all who come here to make war upon them our and tightly Tbe question is one that appeal both to our bainM Beritieod tbe pa triotic as pi rations of a gre-at people. yoasto KSLATtosa. It has been tbe policy of tbe t'otfed State tdsee tbe foundation cf tb Gov ernment, to cultivate relations of peace and amity with ail tbe nation of tbe world, and this accord my conception otoor dutv now. W have cherished the policy of non-icter-ference with tbe affair of foreign Government, wisely inaugurated by Washington. Keepieg ourselves free from entanglement either a allies cr foes, content to leave undisturbed with them tbe settlement, of their owe domestic concerns. It will be our aim to pursue a firm aod dignified for eign, policy, which eball be just, im partial, ever watchful of our national honor and always insisting upon the enforcement of the lawful right of American citizens anywhere. We want no wars of conquest: we must avoid tbe temptation of territorial ag gresaion. War should never be enter ed upon until every agency of peace naa iaiied ; peace i preferable to war n almost every contingency. ARBITRATION IN INTERNATIONAL AS WELT AS LOCAL AFFAlBS. , ' Arbitration is the true method of settlement of international as well as local or individual differences. It was recognized as the best means of ad justment of differences between em ployers and employees by tbe Forty ninth Congress, in I8S6, and its appli cation was extended to our diplomatic relations by tbe unanimous concur rence of the Senate and House of the Fifty-first Congress in 1890. The lat ter resolution was accented as the basis of negotiations with us by the British House of Commons, in 1833. and upon our invitation a treaty of arbitration between tbe United States and Great Britain was signed at Wash- ngton, and transmitted to the Senate for its ratification, in January last Since this treaty is clearly the result of our own initiative: since it has been recognized as the leading feature of our foreign policy throughout our entire national history the adjust ment of difficulties by judicial meth ods rather than force of arms and since it presents to tbe world the glor- ous example of reason and peace, not passion and war, controlling the rela tions between two of tbe greatest na tions of the world, an example certain to be followed by others. I respect fully urge the earliest action of the Senate thereon, not merely as a matter of policy, but as a duty to mankind. The importance and moral influence of the ratification of such a treaty can hardly be overestimated in tbe cause of advancing civilization. It may well engage the best thought of the states men and people of every country, and I cannot but consider it fortunate that t was reserved to tbe United States to have the leadership in so grand a work. EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. It has been the uniform practice of each President to avoid, as far as pos sible, the convening of Congress in extraordinary session. It is an exam ple, which under ordinary circumstan ces, and in the absence of a public nec essity, is to be commended. But a failure to convene tbe representatives of the people in Congress in extra ses sion when it involves neglect of a public duty, places the responsibility of such neglect upon the executive himself. The condition of tbe public treasury, as has been indicated, de mands the immediate consideration oi Congress. It alone has che power to provide revenue for tbe government. Not to convene it under sucn circum stances, I can view in no other sense than the neglect of a plain duty. I do not sympathize with tbe sentiment that Congress in session is dangerous to our general business interests; Its members are tbe agents oi tbe people, and their presence at the seat of gov ernment in the execution of the sov ereign will should not operate as an injury but a benenc, 'mere could be no better time to put tne government upon a sound financial and economic basis than now. rne people nave only recently voted that this should be done and nothing is more binding upon tbe agents of their will than the obligation of immediate action. It has always seemed to me that the post ponement of tbe meeting of Congress until more than a year after it has been chosen, deprived Congress too often of the inspiration of the popular will and the country of the corres- benebts.

Mr. Butler 'submitted a minority report on the bils, recommending the rejection of the substitute and the passage of the bill as it passed the House. The report was signed by Messrs.

He then proceeded to discuss the bill, sayiDg that he objected to the ninety nine year feature of the lease and the seven per cent, rate of rental. He did not object to a reasonable com promise, but did not think that the tute was f ir to the State. He spoke devotcd to PQreIv lo,c&1 bll,s brienly, saying that he might speak on the bill again. Mr. Grant spoke in support xl the substitute. He said that the objec tions stated by Mr. McCaskey, with the single exception of the rate of rental were obviated by the substi tute; It was generally considered, he said, that 6 per cent, is a good rate of interest for investments.
