Since the convening of Cnograa* one year
ago. the ration has undergone a prostration
in business and iadatthes such ae baa not been
witnessed with os for many years. Specula
tion a» to the causes for this prostratioo might
be indulged in wiihoat prodt. because as many
theories would be advanced as there would be
independent writers—those who expressed
tbeir own views, without borrowing, a poo the
subject. Without indulging in theories as to
the cause of this prostratioc, therefore. I will
call yoor attention only to the foes and some
plain qoestions as to which it would seem there
should be no disagreement- Daring this pros
tratioo two essential elements of prosperity
hat# been most abaodaot—labor and capital
Where security has been undoubted, capital
has bwsw attainable at very mndsraas rates.
Where taker has been wasted it haaht$iHhaa#
in abundance, at cheap rates, compared with
what the necessaries and comforts of life coaid
be parch:teed with the wages demanded. Two
great elements of prosperity, therefore, have
not been denied os. A third might be added:
oar soil and climate are oneqoaled within the
limits of any contiguous territory under one
nationality for tbeir variety of products to feed
and clothe a people, and in the amount of sur
plus to spare to. feed less favored people.—
Therefore, with these facts in view, it seems
to me that wise statesmanship at this session
of Congress would dictate legislation, ignoring
the past, directing in proper channels these
great elements of prosperity to any people.—
Debt—debt abroad—is the only element that
can. with a sound currency, enter into ear af
fairs to cause any continued depression in the
industries and prosperity of onr people. A

the attention of Congress. The see of the

by direct authorization of the employment of
the naval vessels in explorations and surrey*
of the suppoeed navigable waters of other na
tionalities on this continent, and specially the
tributaries of the two great rivers of South
America, the Orooooe and the Amazon.
Nothing prevents, under existing laws, such

The field designated is nnqaestionably one of

report the amount of receipts has been but
3231.438,230 for the fiscal year ending Jane
30. 1874. and that for the current fiscal year
the estimated receipts over expenditures will
not much exceed nine millions of dollars. In
view of tbe large national debt existing, and
tbe obligation to add one percent, per annum
to tbe sinking fond, a earn amounting now to
over *34.000.000 per anunm. I submit whether

of surplus—not to provide for the Making land
is a partial failare to eomply with tbe contracts
and obligations of tbe Government. At the
last session of Congress a very considerable re
daction was made in rates of taxation and in
the number of articles submitted to taxation.
The question may be asked whether or not. in
some instances, unwisely. In connection with
this subject, too, I venture tbe opinion that the
means of eoltectioo of the revenue, especially
from imports, have been so embarrassed by
legislation as to make it questionable whether
or not large amounts are not lost by failure to
collect, to tbe direct loss of the Treasury and
to tbe prefedice of the interests of hoaest im
porters and tax payers. Tbe Secretary of tbe
Treasury, in bis report, favors legislation look
ing to an early return tospeeie payments, thus
supporting views previously expressed in this
message. He also recommends economy in
appropriations : calls attention to the loss of
revenue from repealing the tax on tea and cof
fee, without benefit to the consumer; recom
mends an increase of ten cents a gallon on
whiskey, and further, that no modification be
made in the banking and currency bill passed
Tbe correspondence submitted herewith
between the Government and its diplomatic
representatives, as also with the representa
tives of other countries, shows a satisfactory
condition of all questions between the United
States and tbe most of those countries, and.
with few exceptions, to which reference is

suggestion* in regard to an equitable adjnst-
*ith the least practicable delay,
the pledges at the American Coogress. when
oar present legal tender system was adopted
ind debt contracted, there should be no delay,
certainly no unnecessary delay, in fixing by
tegisiatioo a method by which we will return

I invite your special attention. I believe, final
ly, that there can be no prosperous and per
manent revival of business and industries an
til a policy ts adopted, with legislation to ear
ry it out. looking to a return to a specie basis.
at tbe last session of Coogress, unless modifi
cation should become necessary by reason of
tbe adoption of measures for returning to

I cordially join. I would suggest to Congress
the propriety-ot readjusting tha tariff so as to
be at peace with other countries a serines in
surrection is reported to beta progrese in an
important regfoo of that Republic. This may
be taken advantage of as soother reason to

tention of Congress to a generally eooceded
fact that tbe great proportion of the Chinese
immigrants who come to our shores do not
come voluntarily to make their homes with
ns and their labor productive of general pros
significance which cannot be denied. Its du
ration and tbe tsnneity of its adherents, to
getber with absence of manifested power of
suppression oa tbe part of Spain cannot be
controverted and may make some positive
steps oa tbe part of other powers a matter of
self necessity. I had confidently hoped at
this time to beabie toannoaoce tbe arrange
ment of some of tbe important questions be
tween this Government and that of Spain, bat
the negotiations ha ve been protracted. The
unhappy intestine dissensions of Spain com
mand our profound sympathy, and most be ac
cepted as perhaps a cause of some delay. An
early settlement, in part at least, of the ques
tions between the Governments is hoped. In
the meantime, awaiting the results of immedi
ately pending negotiations, I defer a farther
and fuller communication on tbe subject of
the relations ot this eoantry and Spain. I
have again to call the attention of Coograes to
the unsatisfactory condition of the existing
laws with referenesi to expatriation and tbe
election of nationality. Formerly, arnrd soo
the Governor of Louisiana railed upon mo as
provided by the laws of the United States to
aid in suppressing domestic violence la that
State. This rail was made in view of a pro-
efamation issued on that day by D. B. Peon,
claiming that be was elected Lieutenant Gov

tbe State to assemble and drive from power
