PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, A GENERAL REVIEW OF THE NATION’S AFFAIRS. Words ol Comiondation lor all Braudes ot tie Administration A Condensation of the Most Important Fealnres of the Message. : his President Harrison submitted annual message to congress Tuesday. Following is an interesting condensation of the most import¬ ant points embraced iu the document: WASHijrruroN, I>. C., December C.—Theprcsl dent's met-sage, embracing over fifteen thousand words, was read to both brandies of congrfesi today. Tne following is nn interesting and intelligent condensation of the points of lutercit embraced In the message; To the Senate and House of representatives! In submitting my annual message to congresi 1 have great satisfaction in being able to say that the general conditions affecting the com¬ mercial and industrial interests of the United States are iu tho greatest degree favorable. A comparison of the most favored period in th« history of the country will, I believe, show that •o high a degree of prosperity, and so general a difference of the comforts of life were nevei before enjoyed by our people. OUR TOTAL The total wealth of the country in 1860 was 000,000, •10,150,010,061; in 1890 it amounted to $62,610, an increase of 287 per cent. Tho total mileage of railways in the United States In I860 448 was 80,020; in 1*00 It was 167,741; an Inorease of per cent; and It is estimated that there will bo about four thousand miles of track added by tho close of tho year 1802. Tho official return* Of the eleventh census and those of tho tenth Census for 70 lending cities furnish the basis foi the following comparisons: Tit K CAPITAL INVESTED. In 1880 the capital invested in manufacturing was In $1,232,830,670. In 1820 the capital invested manufacturing was $2,000^735,884. In 1880 the number of employees was 1,301,388. In 1890 the number of employees was 2,251,134. In 1880 the wages earned were $501,963,778. In 1890 the wages earned were $1,221,170,454. In 1880 ti e value of tbe product was $2,171,679,899. In 189U the value of the product was $4,860,280,837. Tho message goes into every detail showing tjie increase in tho number of wage oarners and the money paid. It also shows the Increase in the number of factories of all kinds that have been built. NEW COTTON MILLS. Of tho cotton mills the president says: Of tho forty cotton mills, twenty-one have been built In the southern states. Mr. A 13. Sliopperson, of the Now Yoik cotton exchange, estlmates tho number of working spindles in the United States, on September 1, 1892, at 10,200,000, an In¬ crease of 660,000 over the year 1821. The con¬ sumption of cotton by American mills, in 1891, waa 2,396,000 bales, and in 1892, 2,584,000 bales, an increase of I88,00t> bales. SOME LABOR FIGURES. The message then goes into figures on new tin and tin plate plains. Message then refers to and giver figures of labor commissioners of New York and Massachusetts, Shows increased production of pig iron, Itessciuer ingots and Bessemer steel rails. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. Th© total value of our foreign trade (export and imports of .merchandise) during the last fiscal year was $1,887,680,610, an increase ol $128,283,804 over ths previous fiscal year. Tho valuo of our exports during the fiscal year l«92 rea hml the highest figure in tbe his¬ tory of tho government, amounting to $1,030, ‘278,148, exceeding by $146,797,33$ the exports of 1891, and exceeding the value of the imports by $802,875,080. The message shows great prosperity of the country, comparing the trade on the Detroit river to show that as much business was done on that river as in Liverpool. Another indica¬ tion of the prosperity of the oountry is found In the fact that tho number of depositors in tavingn banks mcreasod from 693,870 In 1800, to 4,268,893 in 1890, an increase of 513 per ceut. PROSPERITY, BUT LOW PRICES. There uever hae been a time in our history when work wai so abundant or wages were a-? high; whether measured by the currency in Which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comions of life. It is true that the market prices of cotton and wheat have been low. It lioue of the unfavorable Incidents of agriculture that the farmer cannot produce upon orders. He must sow and reap tn ignorance of the aggregate production of ths year, and is peculiarly thoughtless to the depre¬ dation which fol oHS over-production. The value of ot.r total farm products has in¬ creased from $1.36 *,646.8 6 in 1860 to $4,500,000. 000 iu 1891, n- estimated by statisticians—an iu creasc of 22u pt r cent. THIS IS TIIE BEST COUNTRY. If any uie disc* ntented with their stnte hcr«| If any believe (hat w«ge» or prices, thu reiurni for honest toll, are imu.equatc, they *hrwtld Do! fall to remembar that there is no other country In th® world where the «t niiit.ons that m to them hard, would not bo accepted as highly U roaperous. The Knglhh agriculturist would glad to exchange the mu?ns of his labor foi those of the American termer, and the Man¬ chester workmen their wages fur those of their fellows at Fall River. 1 be icve that the pro¬ tective system, which has liuw for something more than thirty years continuously prevailed In our legislation, has been a mighty instrument for the development of our national wealth and * most powerful agency in protecting tho homes of our workingmen from the invasion of want. 1 have felt| a most solicitous interest to preserve to our working people rates of wages that would not only give daily bread, but ’ 3‘!!- Ian“ 0!"

ON GOOD TERMS WITH NEIGHBORS. The comp i ,te;l :,!> 1 ttir.-nteninff differences with Germany and Kngland m relation to Samoan allairs; 'itb England in relational tbe seal flelwry and in tlie Behring sea, and with Chili growing out of the Baltimore affair, have been adjusted. negotiated and concluded There have been under section 3.of the tariff law, commercial agreements relating to reciprocal trade with the following countries: Brazil, Dominican Republic, Spain for Cuba, and l’orto Rico, Guatemala, Salvador, the German empire, &r«a Britain for certain West Indian colonies and British Guania, -Nicaragua, Honduras, and Austria- Hungary. Of tbeso those with OtuttunoU, Salvador, the German emiiire, Great Britain, Nicaragua, Honduras and Auairla-Hungary bare been con¬ cluded since iny last annual message. “Tim following statistics showing tbe Increase of trade the Unite I States baa made with coun¬ tries having recijriocal agreement,, amounting to $74,234,525: yrovlding the arbitration of “A. ireaty lor the dispute between Great Britain and the United States as to the killing ol seals In tho Behring tea was concluded on the 29th of February last. Tine treaty was accompanied by an agreement prohibiting plllagic sealing pending tire arbi¬ tration, and a vigorous effort waa made during .he season to dmo out all purchlng sealers from the Behring sea." Then follows a statement showing the unsuc¬ cessful effort to establish closer trade relations with Canada. THE TROUBLE WITH CHILL “Congress,at the last session, was kept advised of the progress of the serious, and for a time threatening appearances between tho Unitod States and Chili. It gives ine now great grati¬ fication to report that the Chilian government in a most friendly and honorable spirit has ten dered and paid us an indemnity to the families of the aailiira of ttio Baltimore wlio were kilim! and to those who were Injured in tho outbreak in the city oi Valparaiso the sum of $70,090. This has been accepted, not only as an indemnity for a wrong done but as a most gratifying evidence that the government of Chili rightly appreciates the dlsposi i >n ol this government to act in a spirit of tho n.odt absolute fairness and friendliness iu our interior with that bravo people.” IJUe message speaks of our relations with Haw ili and the importance of the projected sub murine cable. THE TROUBLE WITH ITALY. “The friendly act ol this government in ex pressing to the government af Italy its reproba¬ tion of abhorence of the lynching of Italian subjects in New Orleans by the payment of 126,000 Irancs or $24,330.90 was accepted by tbe king of J tally with every manifestation oi gracious appreciation and the incicent has been highlo promotive of mutual respect and good wih. “The recent disturbances of the public peace by lawless foreign marauders in tbe .Mexican frontier have offered this government an oppor¬ tunity to testify its good will for Mexico and Its earnest purpose to fulfill tho obligations of International friendship by pursuing ana dis¬ persing tho evil doers.” MATTERS OF NOTE. The iuf?*s»4«; then goes into minor troubles with small principalities, the majority of which have been amf ably adjusted. International copyrigh t have been established between this country, Italy and Germany. Tho message commends the Nicaragua oanal. Matters relating to tho present Monetary Conference are discussed at this point. The president rays: “The free coinage of silver upon an agreed international ratio would greatly promote the interests of our people ami equally those of other nations.'' THE TREASURY. Report of tho secretary of the treasury here follows. It shows that the prublic debt lias been reduced since March 4, 1889, $269,074,200, and the annual interest charge $11,684,469. There has been paid out In pensions by the pr. sent administration to November 1, 1892, $432,504,178. an exsess of $114,466,386.09 over sum expended during the period existing from March 1, 188.) to March 1, 1889. Under the tariff law, tho message says, $93,000,000 has gone into tho pockets of the people which would have otherwise gone ?nto the treasury. The revenues lor the fiscal year ending June 3\ 1892, from all Ronrces were $425,808,2(0.22, and the expenditures for all purposes wore $4U,!5 ,896.56, leaving a balance of $9,914,463.66. There was paid during the year upon the public debt $49,570,167.98. Our receipts from customs duties fell off $42,(0 *,241.08, while our reoeipis from internal © .’enuo increased $8,284,823.13, leaving the net loos o: revenue from these principal source^ >34*4,417.95. The net loss of revenue from all sources wus $32,676,972.81. The revenues, estimated and actual for the the 1 year ending June 30. 1893, are placed by the secretary at $403,330,3(0,44, and the expendi¬ tures $161,386,360 44, showing a surplus of re¬ ceipt s over expenditures of $2,000,000. Tbe cash cash 1 a lance in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year, it is estimated, vn 1 be $20,902,377.03 These estimates are based upon a contiuuanee of the present laws. THE ARMY. The president refers only briefly to the report of tho secretary of war, showing the importance of establishing strategic posts and a complete reorg n ration of the infantry and artillery branches of tho service, m BO the construction of heavy guns anil coast defense.. THE ATTOn.NKV GENERAL. the president refers briefly to the report ol the attorney general, extending to him gres, pn\ise for his zeal aud intelligence displayed ir THE POSTMASTER GENERA I, Tho president praises very highly the report of tho postmaster general.

The comnmsloner of pensions believes that if the present legislation and methods are main¬ tained and funher additions to the pension aws are not made the maximum expenditure for pensions will oe reached June 30, 1804, and will be at tbe highest premium. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. In my last annual message I called attention to the fact that some legislative action was necessary in order to protect the Interest of the government in its relations with the Union Pacific Hallway. Tbe commissioner of rail¬ roads has submitted a very full report, giving the exact lniormation as to the debt, the liens upon the company’s property,and its resources. We must deal with the question as we find it and take that course which will under existing condition best secure the interest of the United States. I recommended in my last annua message, that a commission be appointed to Seal with this question and I icnew that recom¬ mendation and suggest that the commissioner be given full power. SECRETARY AGRICULTURE. The president praises the efficiency of the de¬ partment of agriculture and gives facts and figures why it should be sustained. He then deals at length with quarantine inspections and regulations; says that a liberal appropriation ihould be made to prevent cholera gaining a foothold in this country next spring. lie also urges restricted immigration, espe¬ cially for the present. He refers in tetros of praise to the work al¬ ready done on the World's Fair. ' He next deals with matters pertaining to the District of Columbia. 1 Ho recommends that congress take some ac¬ tion for the protection of railway employes in soupling and braking of cars. The civil service commission ask for an in¬ creased appropriation for needed clerical as listance, which he thinks should be given. OUR ELECTION LAWS. I have in each of the three annual messagei which it has been my duty to submit to con griss, called attention to the evils and dangert connected with our election methods and prac¬ tices as they are related to the choice of officeri of the nationa’ government. THE FORCE HILL AGAIN. In my last annual message I endeavored tc Invoke serious attention to the evils of an un¬ fair apportionments for congress. I cannoi close this message without again calling atten¬ tion to these grave and threatening evils. I had hoped that It was possible to secure a non-pai tisaii inquiry by means of a commission into evils, the existence of which is known to ail and that out of this might grow legislation from which all thought of partisan advantage should be eliminated and oi ly the higher thought ap¬ pear of maintaining the freedom and purity of ballot, and tne equality of the elector, without the guaranty of which the government could never have been formed, and withont tbe con¬ tinuance ol which it cannot continue to exist in peace and prosperity. HONEST ELECTIONS. It is time that mutual obarges or nnfairnes& sad fraud between the two great parties should cease and that the sincerity of thosu who pro¬ fess a desire for pure and honest elections ihould be brought to the test of their willing¬ ness to free our legislation and our election methods from everything that tends to impair the public confidence in tho announced result. The necessity for an Inquiry and for legislation by congress upon this subject is emphasized by the fact that the tendency of the legislation in some states in re¬ sent years has in some important particulars been away from and not toward free and fair ilections an 1 equal apportionment. FREE BALLOT AND FAIR COUNT. It is now time that wo should come together upon the high plane of patriotism while we devise methods that shall secure the right of every man qualified by law to cast a free ballot and give to every such ballot an equal value in choosing our public officers and in directing the policy of the government. Laws is not loss such, but more, where it usurps ihe function of the peace officer aud of the sourts. THE LYNCHING OF NEGROES. The frequent lynching of colored people ac¬ cused of crime is without the ©rouse which has sometimes been urged by mobs for a failure to pursue the appointed methods for punishment of crime that the accused have an undue influ¬ ence over courts and Juries; such acts are a re¬ proach to the community where they occur and s * far as they can be made the subject of juris¬ diction tho strongest representative legislation s demanded. A public sentiment that will sustain the officors of tho law In resisting mobs and In protecting accused persons in tbeir cus¬ tody should be promoted by every possible means. The officer who gives his life in tho brave dis¬ charge of this duty is worthy of special honor. No lotion needs to be so urgently impressed upon our people as this, that no worthy end or eause can be promoted by lawlessness. HARRISON’S LAST SAY. This exhibit of the work of the executive do partment is submitted to congress and to tbe publio in tho hope that there will be found in it a due sense of responsibility and an earnest pur¬ pose to maintain the national honor and to promote the happiness and prosperity of all our people, and this exhibit of the growth and prosperity of the country will give us a level from which to note the increase or decad¬ ence that new legislative policies may bring to U8 * There is no reason why the national influence, power and prosperity should not observe tho same rates of inorease that have characterized tbe past thirty years. We carry the great im¬ pulse and increase of these years into tbe fu¬ ture. There ;• no reason why in many lines of pro¬ duction wo should not surpass all other nations is we have already done in some. There are no aear frontiers to our possible developments.

A few figure* may be cited to illustrate leading how important a part wire plays in our industries and manufactures. The output of coal in Great Britain alone, which msy be taken at fully 200, 000,000 tons per annum, is mainly raised by the agency of wire ropes. The im¬ portance of carding wire may be appre¬ ciated from the fact that Great Britain’s woolen export trade is worth $27,000,000 per annum. The consumption of wire netting is enormous, and the annual out¬ put in America and Europe of the one item of barbed wire for fencing—a com¬ paratively new adapatation—is estimated to exceed 100,000 tons. The world-wide use of wire for tele graghic and other electrical purposes is too well known to need comment, one company in america owning no fewer than 648,000 miles of their own system. —Chamber’s Journal. The Horse is Useful Even if Dead. The whale can be put to a great Dum¬ ber of uses when dead, as can also the horse, the various parts of which are util¬ ized a3 follows: Hair of mane and tail for haircloth, stuffing mattresses and making bags for crushing seed in oil mills, etc.; hide and skin tanned for leather for cov¬ ering tables, etc.; tendons used for glue audge atin; flesh for food for dogs,poul¬ try aud man; fat used for lamps, etc.; intestines usel for covering heart sausages, and making gut strings, etc.; tongue for food; hoofs for gelatin, prus siate, fancy snuff boxes, etc.; bones for knife handles, phosphorous, superphos¬ phate of lime and manure; blood for ma¬ nure and shoes for reuse or for old iron. —Spare Moments. Both Liked the Change; FrieDd—“Given hotel, eh? up How housekeeping do like and gone to a you hotel life?” MoTiff—“First rate, Never was so happy in my life.” “Indeed! And how does your wife like it?” “First class.” “Where “I’m are you staying?” Charles at the St. and she’s at the St. James.” Tutelary Trees. Ancient people hp.d their tir elary trees just as they had their tutelary gods —the former being the altars and shrines of the latter. Among the Scandinavians the ash was held to be the most sacred tree. Ser¬ pents, according to their the belief, dared not approach it. Hence women left their children with entire confidence un¬ der its shade ■while they went on with their harvesting.—Gentleman’s Magazine. Boiling Macaroni. An authority says that in boiling maca¬ roni it is fatal to permit it to stop boil¬ ing for a moment until done. Have plenty of salted water in the saucepan the boiling point when the sticks arc added, and when they are tender throw in a glass of cold water to stop the cook¬ ing suddenly, and drain at once.—New York Times. Shakespeare Up to Date. Lobbie—“Shakespeare does not seem to draw very well nowadays.” “Manager—“N-o, but made I believe ‘As You Like It’ could be to go with a corps de Rosalinds and a genuine hard glove slugging match in place of that old-fashioned wrestling bout.”—New York Weekly. HriuMng Under Difficulties. Little Boy (in tbe country)—“Th’ water in this spring is awtul good.” Mother—“Then I’ll take some. Where is the pup?” Little Boy—“There isn’t any cup. You Jiave to lie down an’ drink up hill.”— Street & Smith’s Good News. Flour Should be Kept Dry. Do you know that flour should be kept in a cool, dry place? If possible, there should be some kind of a close recepta¬ cle for it, and too large a quantity some¬ times spoils by being Kept too long, It should also be remembered that mites which often get into flour are more de¬ structive than mice. Disabilities of Sex. Little Dot—“I wish I was a boy.” Little Dick—“Why?” Little Dot—“’Cause a girl always feels 10 wicked w’en she does anything wrong, tn’ a boy don’t. Boys just goes right Nothing Is Cheap. There is nothing cheap under the sun Good woolen is good woolen and has it’s current rate, and good cotton is good cotiOD, and good food is good food, and good tables and chairs are good tables and chairs, and in these days of compet¬ itive labor and trusts and tariffs known to all, prices vary hardly a hair’s worth and nothing but second-hand goods can be bought at a bargain, A piece of silver, with au initial marked upon it, a table which has had one dinner served on its surface is “old stuff” aud has almost no market value. It must be nearly given away. Everything else fetches its value, fictitious or otherwise, the value at which it is held by buyer and seller. And if one thing is undersold to catch business, another is oversold to offset it, and you must get up very early iu the morning indeed and be a very old, old shopper to know which you are purchas¬ ing. A great mark down sale is als > a mark up sale unless indeed a fire or a bankruptcy has precipitated matters. And even then real bargains are rare.— Chicago Post. Obliterated Inscriptions on Coins. In answer to aa inquiry as to bow to¬ tally obliterated inscriptions on coinscan be made legible, a callector suggests the adoption of tbe practice of-the Euglish mint for the discovery of genuine coins when silver is called in. The coin is placed on red hot iron, an ordinaiy poker being often used for tbe purpose. The parts where the letters of tbe iuscription had existed oxidate at a different ra'e from ihe surrounding parts, so that the letters exhibit their shape and become legible iu consequence of the film of oxide which covers them having a differ¬ ent different thickness, and, therefore, reflecting a color from that of the adja¬ cent parts.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
