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 te offensive ‘to suggest that the travailing party will not cantrlMIlegUy 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. The complicated and threatening dif ferences with Germahy and - England in relating to Samoan affairs; with d in relation to the seal fisherv Jn the Behring sea, and with Chili rowing out of the Baltimore affair. iave been adjusted, The message then goes into troubles with ma;. adjust been established between this country, Italy, and Germany. The -message commends the Nicara gua canal. Matters relating to the pres ent International Monetary Conference are discussed at this point. Therpresident says: “The free coin age of silver upon an agreed interna tional ratio would greatly promote the interests of onr people and < t*’ I fo the fact that the United States i4 once more a “naval power.” The adop tion of a torpedo and the discovery of smokeless powder lias worked wonders in the new navy. 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.

We mast assume that the present tariff, constructed upon the lines of pro tection, ia to be repealed and that there Is to be substituted for it a tariff law ooU- *>-Ucted solely with reference to revenue, Onr Con t Defenses. 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: routes dnring the year, with mileage oi 833 miles, ana the total number of mile- of mail tripe added daring the year is nearly seventeen millions. The president refers very favorably to a law making American ships of commerce'float the American flag and be commanded by American citizens. Progress In the Navy.

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 other nations as we have already done in some there are no near frontiers to our possible developments.

Mr. Currie denies that the evil3 are impend ing to the world from the disuso of the silver standard. The silver experiments of the United States, he says, are not likely to fold imitators. The conference had met to endeavor to raise the price'of commodities, an ob ject that was entirely opposed to the economist doctrines accepted in Great Britain as cheap goods, not dear goods. Plenty* not scarcity, had always been held to be the conditions profitable to trade. That the general faH in prices Had been brought abont by the scarcity of gold had never been proved.

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. JAY GOULD’S FUNERAL.
