President Ilamsoii’s Message Has
Been Sent to Congress.*
HIS TALK ON TARIFF,
The Various Points on Whioh Be
Touched Summarized—Election
Laws and Negro Lynch*
ings Given Attention.
Washington, Dec. 6.—The presi
dent’s message has been read before
congress.
It was a lengthy document, compris
ing about 18,000 words, and in it, every
matter of public interest is fully dis
cussed.
The following is a summary of text
and furnishes a clear conception of the
position of the president upon the
various subjects and discussions.
Upon the tariff and election laws he
maintains his positions heretoforetaken,
and believes that public opinion will yet
bear him out in these, and other ques
tions of policy. In openining his com
munication he says:
To the Senate and House of Representa
tives:
In submitting my annual message to
congress I have great satisfaction in being
able to say that the general condition
affecting the commercial aud industrial
interests of the United States are in the
greatest degree favorable. A comparison
of the most favored period iu the history
of the country will, 1 believe, show that
so high a degree of prosperity, and BO gen
eral a difference of the comforts of life
wore never before enjoyed by our peojde.
The total wealth of the country in 1860
was $10.159,G10,06S: in 1890 it amounted to
600,010,000,000, an increase of 887 per cent.
The total mileage of railways in the
United States In I860 was 80,636; In 1890 it
was 167,741; an increase of 448 per ceut;
aud it is estimated that there will be
about four thousand miles of track added
by the close of the year'1891 The official
returns of the eleventh census and those
of the teuth census for seventy-five lead
ing tytioa furnish, the basis for the follow
ing comparisons: lu 1880 the capital in
vested in manufacturing was *1,232,839,-
C7u. In 1890 the capital invested in man-
fucturiugwas #2’90u,735,884. Ih 1880 the
number of employes was 1,301,388. Iu
1890 the number of employes was 3,251,-
104. In 1880 the wages earned were 8501,-
965,778. In 1890 the wages earned were
81,221,170,48*. Iu 1880 the value of the
product was *2,771,579.899. In 1890 the
value of the product was84,860,286;837.
The message goes into every different
detail showing the increase in the num
ber of wage earners and the'money
paid. It also shows the increase in the
number of factories of all kinds that
have been built. Of the cotton mills
the president says:
Of the forty cotton mills twenty-one
have been buflt in the Southern states.
Mr. A. 1). Shopperson, of the New York
cotton'Exchange,estimates the number of
working spindles lu the United States, on
September 1, 1893, at 15,300,003, an increase
of 660,000 over the year 1891. The con
sumption <• cotton by American mills iu
1891 was 3,895,000 bales, aud iu 1893. 2.584,-
000 bales, au increase of 188,030 bales from
the year 1891.
Exports and Imports.
The total value of our foreign trade (ex
ports aud Imports of merchandise) during
the last fisal year was 81,839,680,610, an in
crease of *128, 383,604 over the previous
fiscal year.
Tne value of our exports during the fis
cal vuur 1893 reached the highest figure in
the history of the government, amounting
to *1,000,278,148, exceeding by *145,797,833
the exports of 1891, ana exceeding the
imports by *203,875,686.
Another indication o(
the
creased from 683,870in 1880, to 4,258,803 in
189 », an Increase of, 513 per cent. There
never has been a time In onr history when
work was so abundant or wages were as
high; whether measured 1 by tne currency
in which they are paid or by their powers
to supply the necessaries hud comforts of
of life. It Is true that the market prices
of cotton and wheat have been low. It is
one of thu unfavorable incidents of agricul
ture that the farmer cauuot produce upon
orders. Ho must sow aud reap in ignor-
auce of the aggregate production of the
S ear, and is peculiarly thoughtless to the
epreciation which IoIIowb over-produc
tion. The value of our total farm pro
ducts has increased *1,333,640,906 in 1860 to
64,500,0(10,000 in 1891, as estimated by sta
tisticians—an increase of 339 per per.
to
largest returns of revenue.
The constitution bos not beeu between
but between the principles and

atiou the principles advocated by it, and
to the people, and the
hones of
the pledges given 1
tariff bills passed 1
by'tbo hones of repre
sentatives at the last session were, as I
suppose, even in the opinion of their pro
moters inadequate and justified only by
tiie fact that the senate aud the house
of representatives were not In accord, aud
that a general revision could not therefore
be undertaken, and I recommended that
the whole subject of tariff revision be left
to the incoming congress. It is a -matter
of regret that this work must be delayed
for at leass three months for the threat of
great tariff changes, Introduces so much
uncertainty that an amount not easily es
timated, of business inaction and of
diminished production will necessarily re
sult. It is possible also that this uncer
tainty may result in decreased revenues
from customs duties, for our merchants
will make cautious orders for foreign
oods lu view of the prospect of tariff re
actions and the uncertainty as to when
they will take effect. Those who have
advocated a protective tariff can well
afford to have their disastrous foreaasts of
a change of policy disappointed.
The friends of the protestiva system,
with nndimlnished confidence in the prln-
olples they have advocated, will await the
results of the new experiment.
Onr Neighbors and Ourselves.
Following his deliverances on the
the tariff the president expresses great
gratification at the present amicable
relations existing between the United
States and foreign countries.

A Burdensome Business.
The work of the interior department
is always very burdensome, and has
been larger than ever before dnring the
administration of Secretary Noble. The
disability pension law, the taking of the
eleventh census, the opening of vast
9 of Indian lands to settlement, the
nization of Oklahoma and the regu
lations for the cession. Indian, lands
furnish borne of the particulars of 'the
increased work, and the results achiev
ed testify to the ability, fidelity aud
industry of the head of tne department
and his efficient assistants. The presi
dent seconds the endorsement of the
secretary of the interior to ratify the
agreement made with the Cherokees.
The form of government provided by
congress on May 17, 1884, for Alaska
was in its frame and purpose, tem
porary. The increase of population and
the development of some important
mining and commercial interests make
it imperative that the law should be re
vised, better provisions made for the
arrest and punishment of criminals.
He is pleased with the conduct of the
tend office, the coart of general claims
and the Indian bureau. The appropri
ation for snbsistance of the Cheyeue
and Arrapahoe Indians made at the last
session of congress he said was inade
quate.
The pensions for this year were $144,-
936,000. That amount was appropri
ated and a deficiency amounting to $10,-
303,631 must be provided for by con-
E ess. The estimate for the year end-
g June 80th. 1894. will be 165,000.000.
The commissioner of pensions belmves
that if the present legislation and
methods are maintained and further
additions to the penson laws are not
made the maximum expenditure for
pensions will be reached Jane 30, 1891,
and will be at the highest premium.
An Efficient Department.
The president praises the efficiency of
the department of agriculture, and gives
facts and figures why it should be sus
tained. He then deals at length with
quarantine inspections and regulations,
.equally those
of other nations?
Dealing with the Departments.
The report of the secretary of
the
treasury here follows. It shows that
the pnblic debt has been reduced since
March 4,1889, $259,074, 300, and the an
nual interest charge $11,684,469. There
has been paid out in pensions by the
present administration to November 1,
1893, $433,564,178, an excess of $114,-
466,886 over the sum expended dnring
the period from March 1, 1885, to March
1,1890. Under the existing tariff law,
the message says, $93,000,000 has gone
into the pockets of the people which
would have otherwise gone into the
treasury.
The revenues for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1893, from all sources,
were $425,868,200.33, and the expendi
tures for all purposes were $415,950,-
806.56, leaving a balance of $9,914,433.66.
There was paid dnring the year upon
the public debt $40,570,467.08.
On receipt. from customs -duties fell
off $12,069,241.08, while oar receipts
from international revenue increased
$8,284,838.18, leaving the net loss of
revenue from these principal sources
$33,784,417.65. The not loss of revenue
from all sources was $83,675,993.81,
The revenues, estimated and actual
for the fiscal year ending Jane. 30, 1893,
are placed by the secretary at $463,336,-
350.44, and the expenditures $461,836.-
350.44, showing a surplus of receipts
over - expenditure of $3,000,000. Th<
cash balance in the treasury at the end
of the fiscal year, it is estimated, will
be $20,903,378.03.
These estimates are based upon a con
tinuance of the present laws:
This la a Goodly Land.
If any are discontented with their state
here; If any believe that wages or prices,
the return for honest toil, are inadequate,
they should not fail to remember that
there is no other conntiv in the world
where the conditions that seem to them
hard, would not be accepted as highlv
prosperous. The English agriculturist
would lie glad td exchange the returns of
his labor for those of the American farmer,
and the Manchester workmen their wages
for those of their fellows at Fall River. I
believe that the protective system, which
has now for something more than thirty
years continuously prevailed In our legis
lation, has been a mighty instrument for
the development of our uatioual wealth,
aud most powerful agency iu protecting
the homes of our workingmen from -the
.’nvasiou of want. I have felt a most
irnesc olicitious interest to preserve to our
oy 1 * working people rates of wages that would
not only give daily bread, hut supply a

The president p refers only briefly to
the report Of the secretary of war, show
ing the‘importance of establishing stra
tegic posts, and a complete reorganiza
tion of the infantry and’ artillery
branches of the service, also the con
etraction of heavy guns and coast de
fenses. He refers briefly to the report
of the attorney general, extending to
him great praiso for his zeal and intelli
gence displayed in office.
The president prrises very highly thc-
report of the postmaster general. Th<-
postal revenues have increased daring
the last year nearly $5,009,000. The de
ficit for the year ending Jnne 80, 1892.
is $818,341, less than the deficiency of
the preceding year.
■There hare been added 1,590 new ma:

Lewis Newman, chief editor of the Ger-
Wasiiington, Dec. 6.—A beautiful,
crisp winter day ushered iu the second
session of the fifty-second congress, and
long before the hour of noon spectators
began to arrive at the house wing of
the Capitol in order to secure advanta
geous seats in the galleries.
The—-members also began to arrive
early, and the scene presented an the
floor was a lively and bustling one.
Condolences, as well as congratulations,
were the order of the day, and political
friend and foe greeted one another with
every manifestation of personal good
feeling.
Of Course the Democrat*
were more jubilant than their defeated
antagonists, bat the latter were not
to be outdone in the matter of jollity
and smilingly assured their victorious
friends that four years would not be
long in passing aud that at the end of
that period the scales of pnblic opinion
wonld be found differently balanced.
Ex-Speaker Reed was among the first
to appear in the hall and after he took
his seat he was greeted by men of all
political opinions and by ubiquitous
newspaper men, all of whom he re
ceived with a twinkling eye, pleasent
smile and hearty haudshake.
Tlie Democrats, as a Bale,
Congregated in the space in the rear of
the Democratic side of the hall and in
dulged iu a conversational love feast.
Messrs. Dockery and Mansier, of Mis
souri, turner and Blonnt, of Georgia,
Terrell, of Virginia, Ckipmau, of Michi
gan, Sayers, of Texsis, and Herbert, of
Alabama, were each the centre of a
little group chatting over the victory
of tho past and the promise for the
fntnre.
Tlte People’s Party,
as personified by its leader on the floor.
Mr. Watson of Georgia, appeared at
abont 11:15. He immediately proceeded
_ to the desk occupied by his lieutenant,
lished with Guatemala Salvador, the: Davis of Kansas, which is across the
German Empire, Great ; Britain, Nica-
raugua, Honduras and Austria-Hungary
since his last message to cqpgress, ana
in this connection refers to the increase
of trade brought to this country through
section 8 of the tariff bill; placing the
amount at $74,294,535. He renders a
statement showing efforts that have
been made to establish similar close
relations with Canada, which efforts,
so far, have been unsuccessful".
The dosing paragraphs of his message
are devoted to the election laws and
negro lynchings in the south.
He says:
In my last annual message I endeavored
to invoke serious attention to the evils of
an unfair apportionments for congress. I
cannot close this message without again
calling attention to these grave and
threatening evils. I had hoped thnt it
was possible to secure a non-partisan in
quiry by means of a commission iutoevils,
the existence of which is known to all and
that out of this might grow legislation
from which all thought of partisian ad-,
vantage should be eliminated and ouly
the higher thought appear of maintaining
the freedom rud purity of ballot, aud the
equality of tho elector, without the guar
anty of which the-goverumentcoitld uever
have been formed, and without the con
tinuance of which it cannot continue to
exist in peace and prosperity.
It is time that mutual charges of un
fairness aud fraud between the two great
parties shoul l cease and that the sincerity
of those who profess a desire for pure ana
honest elections should be brought to the
test of their willingness to free our legis
lation and our election methods from
everything that tends to impvir the pub
lic confidence in the announced result.
The necessity for an inquiry and for legis
lotion by oongress upon this subject is em-
S hastzed by tne fact that the tendency of
lie legislation in- some states in recent
years has been in some important particu
lore carried away from and not toward
free and fair elections and equal appor
tionment.
It is now time that we should come to
gether upon the big plane of patriotism,
while we devise methods thnt shall secure
the right of every man qualified by law to
cast a fee ballot and give to every such
ballot an equal value in chosiug
our public officers and in directing
the policy . of the govenment
The frequent' lynching of colored people
accused of crime is without the excuse
which has sometimes been urged by mobs
for the failure to pursue the appointed
methods for punishment of crime that the
accused have an nndue influence* over
courts and juries; such acts are a reproach
to the community where they occur and
so far os they can be mode the subject of
® diction the Strongest representative
lotion Is demanded. A public senti
ment thafwiUsustain the officers of the
law In resisting mobs and in protecting
accused persons in their custody, should
be promoted by every possible means.
The officer who gives his life in the
brave discharge of this duty is worthy of
special honor. No lessons needs to bo so
irgontly impressed upon onr people as
this, that no worthy end or cause can be
promoted by lawlessness
This exhibit of tho work of the execn-
tive department is submitted to congress
and to the public in the hope that there
will be found in it a due sense of responsi
bility and an earnest purpose to maintain
the national honor and to promote the
huppiness and prosperity of all our peo
ple, aud this exhibit of the growth and
prosperity of the country will giTe ns a
level from which to note tho increase or
decadence that new legislative policies
may bring to us.
There is no reason why the national in
fluence, power rnd prosperity should not
observe the same rates of increase that
have characterized the past thirty years.
We carry the great impulse and increase
of these years Into the future.
There is no reason why in many lines of
production we should hot surpass all

Currie denies that the evil3 are impend

of the United States, he says, are not

The conference had met to endeavor
to raise the price'of commodities, an ob

economist doctrines accepted in Great
Britain as cheap goods, not dear goods.
Plenty* not scarcity, had always been

trade. That the general faH in prices
Had been brought abont by the scarcity

theory, ia at variance with facts within

New York, Dec. x 6.- -If reports be
true, James J. Corbett, champion pu
gilist, will soon l>e made the defendant
m an action for absolute divorce. Tho
exposure of Corbett’s relations with
Mrs. Hattie Clark of this city, followed
by theptihlication of letters written to
Mrs. Clar'
rk by Corbett, in which he ad
dresses her in the most endearing terms,
is said to be.the incentive,
i. Co
Mrs. Corbett has been living at tho
Hotel Vendome for some time past. It
is said that she has not been on friendly
terms with her husband for two
months. William A. Brady, Corbett’s
manager, said the champion had been
dreading the publication of his letters,
and that he was "all broke up.” He
could not Bay whether Corbett expected
a divorce snit, bnt he thought himself
that he wonld probably have to answer
to one.

Nashville, Dec. 6.—Tennessee’s pres
idential electors will have the privilege
of casting the state’s twelve votes for
Cleveland and Stevenson, on two sep
arate ballots taken over a m mth apart.

electors meet the second Monday in
January and the old state law, requir
ing that they sit on the first Wednes
day in December, has been amended to
conform. So the electors will meet ou
both dates, carry out the requirements
of both laws and forward the'retarns in
oach-casA - The senate dan them take its
choice of the returns and cast the other
ont.

THE WINDOW PICTURES.
Excitement Continues Around the Uttls
Minnesota Catholic Church.
9r. Paul, Dec. 6.—Representive J. R.
Nelson of Canton, who is now in the
city, says the excitement over the pic
tures in the window of the Canton Cath
olic chnrdh continues as strong ae ever,
and that people are /still visiting the
place. It is estimated'.that the priest
there has blessed over 10,000 people
since the discovery of the alleged mira
cle.
Mr. Nelson says he was not able to
see the picture os a good many claimed
to see'it. At one time he thought he
saw a dim outline of a face just as one
can frame" a picture in the clonds, but it
looked to him more like a man’s face
than a woman’s. A great many have
apparently been healed, he says, bnt it
is reported that the priest is^ a skillful
physician, and that he has nsed a great
deal of medicine lately. The sale of
articles has brought the church a hand
some sum, and the priest has purchased
a large tract of property around the
-church, for what purpose is not known.
