The Congress of the United Mates : -THB INFANT INDUSTRIES We are in the midst of centennial celebrations and with becoming pride we rejoice in American skill and iagenuity, in American energ) and enterprise and in the wonderful natural advantages and resources developed by our country's natural growth-. Yet when an attempt is made .to justify a scheme which pertnita tax to be laid upon even consumer ia the laud for tbe beneilt of par manufacturers,, quite beyond a reasonable demand for govern mental regard, it suits the purpose Cf its ' advocates to call our manu factarera infant industries that a nrcater degree of favor aud foster ing rare may be wrung from federal -toiAtion. it ia also said that tho iu:rease ia the price of domestic manu foctnres, resulting from tbe present tariff ia necessary in order that higher wages may be paid to our worklngmen employed in manufac tures than is paid for what is called the pauper labor of Europe. AMERICAN LABOR. . All will acknowledge the lorce of an'argnmeDt which invohes the welfare and liberal compensation of our laboring people. ' Oar labor is honorable i.i the eyea Of every American citizen, and aa it lies at the foundation of oat development and progress, it is entitled without affectation or by pocrisy to the utmost regard. The standard of our labor should not be measured by that of any other country less favored, and they are entitled to their full share of all our advantage. By theiast census It is made to appear that of the 17,3D2,0!)i) of our popalation engaged in all kinds of in das tries 7,670,493 are employed in agriculture, 4,074,238 in profes sional and personal service (2,934, 876 of whom are domeBtioservants and laborers), while 1,810,250 are employed in trade and transporta tion ead .3,837,112 are classed aa employed in manufacturing and mining. For present purposes, however, tbe last' number given should be j 'fnnidAh! reduced. Wi hont I attempting tor enumerate all, it will be conceded that there should 1 e Qedaeted from those which it i a eludes ,375,143 carpenters aud joiners, 285,401 milliners, dress makers and seamstresses, 172,726 iailoreasea. lw2.473 masons, 76.241 , ! ntchers.; 41.309 bakers, 22.083 .isterera. and 4,891 engaged in anafa,ctaring agricultural imple cuts. .The -aggregate appears to 3 1,214,023, leaving 2,623,089 per ns employed ia snch manafactur - 2 industries as are claimed to be r,e fitted -by a high tariff. To cae the Appeal is made to save cir employment and maintain eir wages by resisting a change, here should be no disposition to -,swer each, suggestions by the location4 that they are in a mi ity of those who labor and there - choald lorego aa Advantage in interest of low 'prices Tor the rity. ' Their compensation, as y be affected by the operation J laws, , should at all times -Tipnlonsly kept In riew.

He receives at the desk of his employer his wages aud perhaps before be reaches bis home is obliged, in a porcba.se for family ne ot an article which embraces hi own labor, to return, in the payment of the in crease in price which the tariff permits, the bald earned oompensa tion of inauy days of toil. THE DUTY OH WOOL. The President here discusses the "Wool Tariff" and shows by a mathematical calculation that a bigh tariff on this' article is against the interest of the larger class of farmers, and with those who own sheep the benefit of the taiiff on wool is illusory. REDUCTION OF CUSTOMS DUTIES. The considerations which have tieen presented touching our tariff laws are intended only to enforce tu earnest recommendation that the surplus revenues of the govern ment be prevented by the reduction of our customs duties aud at the dame time to emphasize a sugges tion that in accomplishing this purpose, we may discbarge a double duty to our people by granting U (hem a measure of relief from tariff taxation in quarters where if is most needed ami from sources wheuce it can be most fairly aud justly uccoulcd. Nor can the preseutatiou made of such con nideratious be with liny degree of airncss regarded as evidence ol un liieudliness toward our uiauuf'acvur ers' interests or of any lack ol appre ciation of their value aud impor tance. These inteiests constitute a leading and most substantial ele ment of our natioual greatness and luiuisb the proud' proof of our country's progress, but if in the emergency that presses uku us our manufacturers jire asked to surrender something for the public good and to i.vert disaster Ibeir pa triotism us well us a gratified recognition of advantages alieady afforded should lead them to will ing co-operation. No demand is made that they shall forego all the iieuefitH of the government's re gard, but they cannot fail to be ad monished of their duty as well as their enlightened self interest and safety when t bey are reminded of the fact that tbe financial panic and collapse to which tbe present couditiou tends afford no greater shelter or protection to our manu factures than to our other impor tant enterprises. An opportunity for safe, careful and deliberate re form is now offered; and none of us should be unmindful of a time when an abused and irritated people, heedless of those who have resisted timely and icaonable warning, may insist upon a radical and sweeping rectification ot their wrongs. REVISION OF TIIE TARIFF J he difficulty attending a wise and fair revision of our tariff laws is not underestimated. It will re quire on the part of tbe Congress great labor and care and especially a broad and national contemplation of tbe subject and a patriotic disre gard of sacb local and selfish claims as are unreasonable and reckless of the welfare of the entire country. Under our present laws Imore than four thousand articles ' are suhject to duty. Many of these 'do not in any way compete with own manufactures and many ?r1hard worth ttention aa anb- jects of revenue. A considerable redact ion can be made in the aggre gate by adding them to tbe free list. Tbe taxation of luxuriea pre sents no featore of hardship, bat the necessaries of lite, used and consumed by all the' people," the daty upon which adds to the cost of living in every hem , should be greatly cheapened. FREE RAW MATERIAL. The radical redaction of the duties imposed apoa raw material used in manufactures, or itaree importation, ia of r curse an im portant factor in any effort te re duce tbe price of these necessaries. It would not only relieve them from the increased cost canned by "tbe tariff un snch -Material,. but the manufactured product. being thus cheapened, that part ttf the tariff bow laid up-n each product 'as, a compensation to par manufacturers for the peeeoti price: 1 raw . ma terial - ooald , be acoordrn giy modi fied. Sacb reductions, or free im portation, would serve, besides to largely reduce lie revenue.. It is not apparent bow- each - a change Can hare any injurious effect- upon conntries, to tic-iipen their wares by free material,. Thus our Deoi,l might have the opport unity ?of lenaiug tneir i sales . beyond, tbe limits of home eousnmptios, Bavipg them from the depression; interrnp tion in business and Joss caused by a glutted - domestic market, and affording their eVployeea more er- resultmg-'quiet and coQrentment. The , qusion ; thaa imperatively presented 'roseola! ion should be approached iu a Spirit, higher thai party anxiety aud considered id tbe bght of that regard fo patriotic daty which should characterize the action of those iptrasted with "the weal of a cbuBding. people. But the obligation to decjare party policy aud pri ncipie is not wanting t urge prompt and effective actio. Both of tbe great political parties now represented in tbe government have by repeated and authorita tive declarations condemned the condition of oar laws woica permits the collection from the peo'de of unnecessary revenues and have in the most solemn manner promised its correction, and neither as citi zens or politicians are our country men in a mood to -condone tbe deliberate violation of these pledges. Our progress toward a wise con clusion will not be improved by dwelling on the theories of protec tion and free trade. This savors too much of band yiug epithets. It is a couditiou which confronts us, no: a theory. The relief from this condition may involve a slight reduction of tbe advantages which we award our borne productions, but the entire withdrawal of such ad vantage should not be contem plated. THE QUESTION OF FREE TRADE IRRELEVANT. The question ot free trade is absolutely irrelevant and the per sistent claim made in certain quar ters that all effota to relieve the peoule fioui unjust and unnecessary taxation are schemes of so-called free traders is mischievous and far removed from any consideration for the public good. The simple and plain duty which we owe tbe people is to reduce taxation to the necessary' expenses of an economi cal operation of tbe government aud to restore to the business ot the country the money which we hold in the treasury through the perversion of governmental powers. These things can and should be done with safety to all our indus tries, without danger to tbe oppor tunity for remunerative labor which our workingmen need aud with benefit to them and all our people by cheapening their means ol subsistence and increasing tbe measure of their comforts. "THE STATE OF THE UNION." The Constitution provides that the President "shall from time to time give to the Congress informa tion of tbe state of tbe Union." It has been the custom of the execu tive, in compliance with this pro vision, to annually exhibit to the Congress at the opening of its session tbe general condition of the country and to detail with some,! particularity tbe'operatlons of the different executive departments. It would ba especially agieeablelo follow ; this course at the present time aud to call attention to the valuable accomplishments of these departments during tbe last .fiscal yer., but I am ao much impressed with the paramount importance of the subject to which this communi cation has thus far been devoted that I shall forego the addition of any other topic ana only orge upon your immediate consideration tbe 'state of the Union" aa shown in the present condition of our treae- nry and our general fiscal situation, upon wmcn every .element of oar safety and prosperity depends. The repoits ot the heads -of the departments which will be Submit ted contain full and expliceit information touching the, transac tions of the business intrusted i to them and snch recommendations relating to legislation ia the public interest as tbey . deem - advisable. I ask for these reports and ' recom ineudations tbe 'deliberate examine tiqo onti of the legislative branch of the government. - ; - There are other, subjects not em braced in the departmental reports demanding legislative consideration and which I should be glad to sob mit.
