Tlie Message.
The President's message is not a great
state paper. It is. however, a very satis
factory review of the reports of the Secre- !
taries of the various departments. Asa ■
rule, the suggestions of the Secretaries i
are adopted. Here and there the Presi- j
dent ventures upon a suggestion or a
recommendation of his own. It appears
that the country is at peace with
all other countries, and that
there is no cause for apprehending
. any quarter, ijuite a num
h. r et treaties of a commercial character
have been negotiated in the last year, the
eff.-ot of which will be. probably, to ex
tend our trade. The President is espe
cially solicitous that there should be
closer commercial relations with Mexico,
and is. therefore, anxious for the ratifi
cation of the treaty lately negotiated with
that country. He is in favor, however,
of compelling a greater respect
for the rights of American citizens in
Mexico. He doesn't like the way our
x-essels are treated in Cuban ports, and
the onerous burdens placed upon some of
our exports to Turkey do not meet his
approval. He suggests measures of re
taliation. Turning to the Treasury he
finds too much money there, and says
that the revenues must l*e cut down, but
,1 .o*n't want the cutting down process to
Is- begun at once. He thinks that some
ot the surplus could be got rid of with ad
vantage in building a decent navy, and
providing coast defenses. He sees plainly
that if the revenues are not reduced
there will soon be financial troubles, be-,
cause the surplus must be applied to the
payment of the debt, and as the debt is
largely owned by the national banks,
the circulation will lie restricted in pro
portion to the amount of bonds called in.
11.- adopts the suggestion of the Secretary
of the Treasury that the law taxing bank
circulation be repealed, and the banks be
allowed to issue circulation to the extent
of 00 per cent, of the market value, in
*t- ad of the face value of the bonds they
hold.
The President is emphatic in his objec
tion to the reception of England's paupers.
He wants England to understand that she
cannot impose her paupers on us by way
of Canada. He favors taking in the trade
dollars at a small per cent, above their
value as bullion. His recommendation
resitecting State militia will probably
meet with pretty general approval. He
differs with the Postmaster General
relative to jiostage on drop letters. He
favors one cent postage. lie, of course,
advocates Federal aid for edueation. The
Mormons are subjects of his displeasure.
He doesn't have much confidence in mild
measures in dealing with them. The
Territorial Legislature ought to be abol
ished. in his opinion, and a commission
appointed to make the polygamists see
the wickedness of their conduct. He
touches on the recent iivil rights
decision, but goes no farther than to say
that any legislation looking to the
protection of the negroes in their civil
rights will have his approval.
The two points of the message that may
elicit some discussion are the recommen
dation relative to the tax on national
bank circulation and the suggestion that
a part of the surplus revenue be expend
ed on the navy and coast defenses.
Walsh's liotter.
John A. Walsh’s remarkable letter to
the President, published in our dispatches
I yesterday, is calculated to attract atten
tion. Walsh was the principal witness
for the government in the late star route
trials, and is the dependence of the prose
cution iu the star route case against ex-
Senator Kellogg and Thomas J. Brady.
The trial of this case is fixed for the 10th
of this month. It is rather curious
that just as the government got ex
senator Spencer, another important and
long sought for star route witness in its
clutches Walsh, without whose testi
mony there can lie no conviction iu the
Kellogg-Brady case, should kick out ot
the traces and refuse to lend the govern
ment a helping hand. Notwithstanding
the statement of Walsli that he has no
interest in the star route trials, there is
no question that he has been guided in
his course all along by a determi
nation to secure, if possible,
the convictien of Brady. Between
Brady and \V alsh there was a business
; transaction of some kind and, according
to Walsh’s testimony, Brady owes him a
large amount of money which he refuses
to pay. It was on Walsh’s testimony
that Kellogg was indicted, and without
Walsh’s testimony the government has
nothing to sustain its charge against him.
Why has Walsh so suddenly assumed
the position of a recalcitrant witness?
He says that he doesn't want to be
| abused by the star route organs,
but he has stood that abuse for
two years and it doesn’t seem to have hurt
him much. Nothing can be said concern
ing him that has not already been said.
Have he and Kellogg become friendly
again? There was a time when they were
great chums, and, perhaps, they have
' resumed their former friendly relations.
Kellogg is smart and shrewd, and has
! successfully worked his way out of many
hazardous places. Perhaps his threat to
j call a Cabinet officer to testify to state*
; ments made by the Attorney Gen-
J eral respecting Walsh, has alarmed
that witness. What was it that the At
torney-General said? Walsh, in his let*
1 ter. does not enlighten the public on that
I point, but according to Washington gossip
; the Attorney General said that he would
not lielieve Walsh on oath. If Kellogg
should carry out the programme appre
hended by Walsh, the country would lie
treated to a very pretty spectacle. The
situation would be this: It would appear
I that the Attorney General has been put
ting the country to an enormous ex
pense in prosecuting alleged public
plunderers on the strength of
i a witness in whose testimony he
has not the least confidence. Evidently
'' there Is something in these 6tar route
i cases that the country knows nothing
about. If the cases are being sincerely
prosecuted why did the Attorney General
make such a remark about his chief wit
ness. and, having made the remark, how
j is it that one of the defendants got hold of
■ it. and, that too, ir, a way to use it to his
j own advantage? There are several things
which the Democratic House will find it
| necessary to investigate, and this star
j route lmsiness is one of them. The inves
tigation will undoubtedly produce some
| good campaign literature.
A New York paper says that the other
day Russell Sage, the fifteen millionaire,
stopped at a candy stand to get a stick of
chocolate. The vendor asked 2 cents per
| stick, but the Irugal banker handed
i out 1 cent and received a half stick in
return. The transaction looked small,
and so it was, but there is an old wise
saw which says, “Take care of the
dimes and the dollars will take care
of themselves.” Mr. Sage, however,
has found out that if he would
take care of the cents the
dimes would take care of them
selves. The Southern people are the most
extravagant and wasteful in the world,
and this is the main reason why they are
so poor to-day. The above example is a
good one, and if all our young men would
follow it, they would be surprised at the
result of their savings. It was Poor
Richard who said, “Willful waste makes
woeful want.” There are thousands of
penniless people in the South who would
be wealthy if they could recall the money
they have recklessly thrown away.
New Orleans bids fair to get ahead of
all other cities on the woman’s rights
question. A woman of that place has
applied for a license as a ship master, or
rather mistress, and passed a satisfactory
examination. If she gets her papers,
and she certainly ought to do so, she will
be the first female ship captain of mod
ern times. Sfie will probably appoint her
husband first mate, and make him and
the crew get around in a pretty lively
manner, or else “walk their log.” One
trouble that can be foreseen is that it
will never be known when she is going to
get into a tantrum and blow up the ship.
The American Anti-Slavery Society

Whittiet and Elizur Wright.

STANDARD SILVER DOLLARS.
On November 1, 1883. under the act of Feb
ruarv 2*, 187.8, there had been a coinage of
standard silver dollars amounting to $1;*6.i20,-
949; there were in the Treasury at that date,
$116,386,017. There were then in circulation,
and in tlie mints on account of profits on the
coinage not vet deposited in the Treasury,
s4o 334.932. There were in circulation on
November i. I—4. $35,383,786. The coinage be
tween the 1-t of November, I—4. and the same
date in I*B3 had increased $28,391,069: the
amount in circulation for tlie same time hail
increased $4,136,321.
THE TRADE DOLLAR.
It is possible to make an estimate of the
amount of the trade dollar that would come
to the Treasury for redemption, if authority
were given therefor. The whole issue of the
coin has been $35,960,446. Some of that lias
disappeared-in manufactured articles; it is
estimated from 1,000,000 to 2.000,000. It is
calculated that five-sixths thereof went
abroad in the beginning, and it is believed
that but a small part of that has come back,
and that there is now held by our people but
from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000.
A thorough and effective redemption of it
can be brought about in this way: Let au
thority lie given by Congress to the Treasury
Department to barter for trade dollars at
their nominal value, standard dollars at their
nominal value, and melting the trade dollars,
to recoin them into standnril silver dollars,
counting tlie trade dollars got in this wav as
a part of the silver bullion which the act of
1878 empowers and directs to be bought and
coined monthly.
SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The amount of silver certificates
outstanding November 1, 18.83
was $>.19,579,141
The amount outstanding at the
same date in 1882 was 73,607,710
There was held by the Treasury
on the Ist of November, 1882 7,937.280
And on the same date in 1883 .. 14,244,760
These figures show an increase of tlie silver
certificates in the hands of the people of $19,-
713,931. Figures given above show a like in
crease of silver dollars of $4,136,321.
GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Of gold certificates the amount ready for
issue November 1, 1883. was $195,740.0u0, and
■ tlie amount issued November 1, 1883, was
$96,110,000.
COIN.
The amount of coin in circulation on the
30th of last June was:
t’nited states gold coin $537,254,794
United States silver coin 228,216,190
NATIONAL BANKS.
The number of national banks in opera
tion November Ist, 1883, was 2,522, au increase
over all former years. The number of banks
organized during the year is 261, the greatest
number organized during any year since
1865. Returns made on October 2*l of this
vear show an aggregate national bank capi
tal of $509,699,787, an increase of $26,595,574
during the vear; a circulation of $314,931,575;
a surplus of $1u2.000,452. and individual de
posits of $1,049,137,700, both of which
are in decrease; loans ot $1,303,450,790, and
specie of both of which are in in
crease. The corporate existence of 307 has
expired during tiie year, of which 2731iave re
newed it under the act passed by the last Con -
gress. Seventeen have been placed in liquid
ation bv vote of their shareholders, four have
expired bv limitation, and all but twoof these
have been succeeded by new organizations in
the same localities with new titles.
FLANS FOR RETAINING THE NATIONAL BANK
CIRCULATION.
A plausible plan for preserving national bank
circulation is for the government to offer a
new bond, of its own issue, at low rate of in
terest, to run a long period, in exchange for
its 6 per cents; and 4*2 percents., allowing
such a rate of premium upon the latter, but
lower than that ar a present ruling, as would
induce the holders to surrender them and
take the new; and to make tins secuntv for
bank circulation. I doubt not that this is
feasible. I rattier recommend, and so I do,
that the internal revenue tax upon circula
tion Oe taken off in whole or in part. This is
1 percent, per annum, anil amounts to about
three millions ami a quarter each.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE.
The amount of the internal revenue for the
last fiscal year was $144,720,368 98.
The cost of collecting the internal revenue
for the fiscal year was $5,113,734 88. The es
timated cost for the same work for tlie current
vear is $4,999,190.
The following statement shows the number
and amount of claims presented for rebate of
taxes on tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes,
under the provisions of section 4 of tlie act of
March 3, 1883, and the present condition of
the claims:
Whole number of claims presented . 46,859
Amount of rebate claimed $3,725,913 97
THE SURPLUS REVENUE.
The estimated surplus of $85,000,000 a year
would pay the whole amount of the intorest
bearing debt in about fifteen years.
I consider, therefore, that in legislating for
the future, the revenues slionld not be so far
reduced as to prevent the application each
vear of aliout $50,000,000 to the sinking fund.
Upon tlie estimate of $85,000,000 as the surplus
for the current year, we find a surplus fur
that period of nearly $40,000,000, not wanted
for the regular expenditures of the govern
ment, or fur the payment of the national debt
through the sinking fund.
On the whole, then, this Department does
not recommend an immediate revision of the
tariff act. It adheres, however, to its convic
tion. that ultimately the just and expedient
method of relief from taxation, anti of lim
iting the revenues te the needs of an econom
ical government must be found in a reduction
of the duties on imports.
Propositions are made to repeal the whole sys
tem of revenue. As to tins I repeat my remark
of last vear: "I see no public sentiment or po
litical action, indicating a desire on the part
of tax-paying citizens to strike out this class
of taxes.’
VALUE OF IMPORTS.
The value of the imports of merchandise
into the United States during the year ended
June SO, 1883. amounted to $723,180,914, as
against $724,639,570 during the preceding fiscal
year, a decrease of $1,458,660.
now. CARRIED.
Of the merchandise imported into the
United States during the fiscal year 1883,
$130,0 2,290 were brought in American ves
sels. and $564,175,576 in foreign vessels, and
$23,003,048 in railroad cars and other land

Of the exports of merchandise $104,418,210
were shipped in American vessels, $094,331,-
348 in foreigu vessels, and $23,089,844 in rail

REVENUE MARINE.
This service continues to perform satisfac
torv work. Its vessels, which now number 38,
have cruise*! during the fiscal year an aggre
gate of 300,880 miles, and have boarded and
examined 25,587 vessels, of which 2,240 have
been seized orreiiorted to the proper authori
ties for violating the law in some respect.
In relief work they have been particularly
efficient, having assisted 224 vessels in dis
tress. which, with their cargoes, aggregated
in value $4,885,175, and on board which were
2.497 persons. Sixty people have been picked
out of the water and saved from drowniug.
One revenue steamer alone assisted 76 mer
chantmen, valued, with ttieir cargoes, at sl,-
493,020.
LIFE SAVING SERVICE.
During the past year this service has made
its usual excellent’record.
At the close of the year the stations num
bered 194. The number of disasters to docu
mented vessels within the field of their opera
tions was 300. On lioard these vessels there
were 3,792 persons, of whom 3,777 were saved;
the others were lost. The number of ship
wrecked persons succored at tlie stations was
651, and the number of days’ relief afforded
them in the aggregate was 1,879. The esti
mated value of property involved was $7,176,-
540, of which $5,611,800 was saved; tjie rest
was lost. Tlie numlier of vessels totally lost
was 68.
MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
During the last fiscal year 40.195 patients
received relief—l3,3s6 were treated in hos
pitals and 26.839 at the dispensaries. The
usual numlier of surgical appliances and
orders for transportation were furnished.
The receipts from all sources were $429,000 15,
and the expenditures $469,960 21.
