Sllism will Have early and earn***? at-
tention. It will be my constant en-
deavor to secure it by co-operation
with the other groat xrmmerciai pow-
ers of the world Until that conditio*;
is real fed when the parity between aui
gold and silver money springs from
SnU is supported by the relative *a,hM
f the two meuls. the value of the sil-
ver already coined and of that which
may hereafter be coined, must be kepi
constanrly at par with gold by evory
resource at our command. The credji
of the government, the Integrity of it*
currency and Inviolability of its obli-
gations must be preserved This wa*
the commanding verdict of tbe people
and it wili not be unheeded
Economy i* demanded fn every
branch of the government at all time*
but especially in periods like the pres
ent of depression In bttwiuess and (Ms
tress among the people. The severest
economy must be observed in all pub-
lic expenditures, and extravagpaocf
stopped wherever It is found, pre-
vented wherever in the future It man;
be developed. If the revenues are tc
remain as now. the only relief tha£ can
come mittt be from decreased ex pen-
dltoree. But the present must not be-
come the permanent condition of the
government. It has been our undfonx
practice to retire, not increase our out
Canding obligations, and this policy
ust again be resumed and vlgoroUBi)
enforoed. Our revenues should alwayi
he large en ough to meet with ease ao<
promptness not only our current needi
and the principel and interest of thd
public debt, but to make proper and
liberal provision for the most deserving
body of public creditors, the soldien
and sailors and the widows and or-
phans who are the pensioners of th«
United States.
The government should not be per-
mitted to run behind or increase 111
it in times like the present. Suitab-
le to provide against this is the man-
date of duty; the 'ertain and easy rem-
edy for most of our ftnaariatl difficul-
ties. A deficiency is inevitable so long
as the expenditures of the government
exceed its receipts. It can only be mat
by loans or an increased revenue.
While a targe annual surplus of reve-
nue may invite waste aad extrava-
gance, Inadequate revenue creates dis-
trust and undermines pubMc aad and
private credit, Neither should ha en-
Between more loans and
maoent or sa£e reliance. It will suf-
fice while it lasts, but it cannot last
long while the mrtlays of the govern-
ment are greater dian its receipts, as
has been the case during the past two
years. Nor must it be forgotten that
however much such loans may tempo-
rarily relieve the situation, the govern-
ment is suDl indebted for the amount of
surplus thus accrued which it must ul-
timately pay while Ms ablhty to pay
Is not strengthened but weakened by a
continued defleft. Loans are impera-
tive in great emergencies to preserve
the government or its credit but a fail-
ure to suppty seeded revenue in time
of peace for the maintenance of either
has no Justification.
The best way for Che government to
maiinta-in Hs credit is to pay as it goes
—not by resorting to loans, but by
keeping out of debt. Th^ou^Sh ao ad-
equate income secured by a system of
taxation, external or interim], or both.
It fc th-' settled policy of the govern^
ment, pursued frm the beginning and
praoticcd by all parties, aad adrolnto-
trstlcns. to raise the bulk of our reve-
nue from taxes upon foreign produc-
tions entering the United States for
sale and cocsuim pttrra; and avoiding
f«r the most part every farm of direct
taxation except In time of war.

tempt its euforci meat in the spirit in
which it was enacted. The purj>ose In
view was to secure the most eflb lent
service of the best men who would ac-
cept appointment under the govern-
ment. retaining faithful and devoted
puolic servants in office, but shielding
none under the authority of any rule
or custom who are inefficient, incompe-
tent or unworthy. The best interests ot
the country demand this, and the
peopie heartily approve the law
wherever apd when* er It has been
thus administered.
Congress should give prompt atten-
tion to the restoration of our American
merchant marine, once the pride of the
teas in all the great ocean highways ol
commerce. To my mind one of the few
of the moat important subjects that sc
imperatively demand its intelligent con-
sideration. The United States has
progressed with marvelous rapidity in
svery field of enterprise and endeavor
until we have become foremost in near-
ly all the great lines of inland trade,
commerce and industry. Yet, whUe
this is true, our American merchant
marine has been steadily declining un-
til it Is now lower, in the percentage ol
tonnage and the number of vessels em-
ployed, than it was prior to the civil
War. Commendable progress has been
made of late years in the upbuilding ol
the American navy, but we mast sup-
plement these efforts by providing ae
a proper consort for it a merchant ma-
rine amply sufficient for our own car-
rying trade to foreign countries. The
question Is (me that appeals both to
our business necessities and the patri-
otic aspirations of a great people.
It has been the policy of the United
States since the foundation of the gov-
ernment to cultivate relations of paace
and amity with all the nations ot the
world, and this accords with my eon
caption of our duty now. We

Arbitration is the true method of set-
tlenv nt of international as well as ioca
or individual differences. It was rer g.
niz. u a.- th l est means of adjustment
of differences between employers aue
employes by the Forty-ninth congress
in ISSfi. and its application was extend-
ed to our dif.'toHiatic relations by th>
unanimous concurrence of th« senate
and the house of the Fifty-first congress

cepted nd the basis of mgotiarlons witfe

' ^ifluence of the ratification ot such

V&at congress In sessiem is dangerous

members arc the agents <rf the people,
aad their pr.s*nce at the sea? of gov-
ernment in the execution f the tor-
elgn f'uty shculd n« t operate as an in-
jury. but a lieneflt. There could be
no b- tter time to put the government
upiu a sound finan< lal and economic I
ba-us than now Th*. people havy only '
recently voted that this should lw* j
done, and Roth'n.e is more binding
up n the- agents of tbetr will than rh^
obligation of immediate action. It has
always seamed tu me that the post-
ponem at of the meeting of congress
until more than a year after It hae
been chosen deprived congress too
often of the inspiration of the popular
wlH and the country of the corre-
sponding benefits. It is best, there-
fore, that to postpone action in th«
presence of so great a necessity wouki
be unwise on th< part of the executlvt
because unjust to the Interests of the
people.
Our actions now will be freer from
mere psrtb 'R consideration than it
the question of tariff revision was
postponed v:til the regular swelon ol
congress. We are uearly two years
from a i* iisessional election, and pol-
ities can not so greatly distract us aa
if such contest was Immediately im-
pending. We can approach the
problem calmly and patriotically, with-
out fearing its effect upon an early
election. Our fellow-citiaens, who may
disagree with us upon the character ol
this legislation, prefer to have the
Suestlon settled sow, even against
leir preconceived views, and perhaps
8*ttied so reasonably, as 1 trust an<J
believe it will be as lo insure great
permanence—then to have further un-
certainty menacing tht vast and varied
business interests of the United States
Again, whatever action congress
may take will be given a 'air opportu-
nity for trial before the people are call,
ed to pass judgment upon it, and chit
I consider a great et .eaUal to t)M
rightful and lasting settlement of yM
Question. In rtew of these conattilfe-
tlons, I shall deem it my duty as presi-
dent to convene congreaa In extraaefit-
nary session on Monday, the 15th Say
of March, 1897.
In coneulsion, I congratulate the
country upon the fraternal eptrit of tW
people and the manifestltation of good-
will everywhere ao apparent. The re*
cent eteotton ool ontar yost la
ty aemoostrated trie obliteration ol'
sectional or geographical linea, but t« I
some extent also the prejudices whlct
for years have distracts our councilf
and marred our true gr^tness aa a
nation. The triumph of the peonm i
whose verdict is carried Into effect to. !
is not tli6 triumph otf one s^oCloDk I
nor wholly of one party, but of sll sac-
| tions and all the people. The ncrti
and scuth no longer divide on Uk ,
: old liDes, but upon principles and pol-
icies; and in this fsct surely mrj
! lover of the country can find cause fol
true felicitation.
I f-et us rejoice and cultivate thk1
[Pirit; it is ennobling, and will b<
both a gain and blessing to our be I
j loved country. It will be my constam
i aim to do nothing and permit nothing
to be done that will arrest or dlsturt
