GOOD VALUES,

2 The r*. instruction of the
financial sys^bin at *.he present
time is declared to be both unwise
and unnecessary, it being the
growth of a century; but some
additional legislation is pronounc
^ desirable in the direction of
encouraging the use of such in-
strumentalities as will automati-
cally supply every legitimate de-
mand of productive industries
and commerce, both in amount
and the character of circulation,
making all kind of money inter-
changeable, apd at. the will of the
holder, convertible into the es-
tablished gold standard.

SYNOPSIS OF PRESI-
DENT'S MESSAGE.
The president's message starts
off with a review of the country,
its general prosperity and posi-
tion among the countries of the
world, an * T^icitatcs the people
upon COf and future proc-
eeding, sub-
reviewed and
quenoe stated

so d.iing. This is declared to be
one of the most important mat-
ters that can come before con-
gress, and that body is urged to
pass a law, reasonable in its pro-
visions and effective in operation,
upon which the questions pre-
senting can be adjudicated, and
which now raise doubts as to the
necessity for a constitutional
amendment. If such steps, when
taken, prove inffiojeious, then an
ameodment of the national organ-
ic law is advocated. Tariff re-
duction, he flatly declares, would
fad short of reaching the evils of
the trusts. In this connection he
strongly urges a larger appropri-
ation for the enforcement of the
present laws dealing with com-
bines. The cases in which tariff
reduction could afford relief, ho
declares, are so few as to con-
stitute an inconsiderable factor in
the question.
mg of tho unscrupulous alike iu
both ranks, is recognized as of
paramount importance, and to be
a problem fraught with great
difficulties if it is solved on lines
of sanity and farsighted common
sense, as well as of devotion to
the right. This is declared to be
an era of federation and combi-
nation, and so far as the constitu-
tional powers of the national
government touch these matters
they should be exercised 111 con-
formity with tha principle se!
forth.
4 The prompt creation by con-
gress of the bureau of commerce
and labor is urged.
5 Cuban relations are discussed
and the statement is made that a
reciprocity treaty will soon be
submitted-tO the senate for ratifi-
cation. The fulfillment of pro-
mises made that island are also
strongly urged.
I! The successful outcome of the
recent trade conventrn between
the United States and Great
Britain relative to Newfoundland
affair? is announced, and the
statement made that the treaty
willsDongo to the senate for
ratification.
7 The country is felicitated up-
on tho marked diminution of wars
in modern days, and the foster-
ing of arbitration as a means of
adjusting differences is dwelt up- j
on. In this connection America j
and Mexico are congratulated up- j
on being the first nations to avail!
themselves of JjThe Hague court. \
8 The speedy construction of |
the Isthmian cana'1 i- urged, and
the announcement made that;
.o-ood title can be had to the Pa- !
n-ama loute rou'e. Negotiations j
with Columbia with a view to the j
er arrangements are stited1
• iu progress, but al! refer-
ence to hitches is omitted.

tinued addition of vessels is ad-
vocated and money requested for
extensive mimic war operations
each year along lines now being
pursued in the Caribbean, where
a gignatic fleet is operating under
the command of admiral Dewey.
14 The postal service is eulog-
ized and liberal appropiations
asked for the extension of rural
free delivery and other improve-
ments. No suggestion is contained
relative to penny postage.

ions of the far West is commend-

10 Porto Rico is dismissed with
the statement that the island is
prosperous and the people happy.
11 Conditions in tho Philip-
pines are reviewed, and satisfact-
ion expressed >vith the progress
of events in that quarter. The
natives are declared to be enjoy-
ing the greatest liberty in their
history, this government at the
same time taking pains to move
slowely but. surely in the granting
of privileges. No important
changes are suggested in con-
nection with the islands.
12 The army comes in for the
warmest praise for its work.

factory. This is declared the only
solution for this problem.

aid to ihe farming population is
pointed out, and action with this
end in view is suggested.

District of Columbia, the saftv

curtailment of public printing by
a cessation of the issue of
useless documents, an extension
of the ni6rit system, and the re-
cent improvements on the white
house.
