The most important matter treated
of, is tariff and tariff reform. The
present pending bill receives his
hearty approval, and he recoguizes it
as the result of much hard and patri
otic labor on the part of the ways and
means committee.
The Hawaiian question receives
considerable attention, as also Mr.
Blount’s report, which shows that
Queen Lil and the government was
overthrown through the connivance
of Minister Stevens, is accepted as a
truthful statement of the situation in
- that country. The failure of the
President to mention the proposed
repeal of the 10 percent tax on State
banks, may possibly be construed to
mean that he does not approve that
measure. It is quite plain that he
approves the exposure and correction
of the pension frauds and we can
fully understand now that Mr. Smith
has had the support of the executive
in his efforts in this direction.
Taken as a whole, the message is
broad and strong and it i? quite cer
tain that it will be approved and
sustained by the great masses of the
party.
