Touching the etiver question, lee soya The recent repeal of the pnevisions Of law 'requiring the purchase of silver bullioia by the /Government as a feature of our monetary scheme has made an entire change in the com plexion of our currency affairs. .1 do not doubt that the ultimate result of this action will be most salutary aad la' reaching. In the nature et things, however, it is impossible to ]now at this time 'precisely what conditious evill be brought about by the change, or what, if -any, supplementary legi lo.tion may, in the light of such conditions, appear to be essenteal or expedient. Of coulee, after the recent financial perturbetion, time is necesary for the re-establishment of bu-inees confidence. When, however, through this restored coal: - Ilene°, the money which has been frightened into hoarding places, is returned to trade and. enterprise, a survey of the situation will proba- bly disclose a safe path leading to a pprroan- °nay sound currency, abundan Lly sufficient to meet every requirement of ourincreasing popu- lation and business. In the pursuit of this object we should reso- lutely turn away from alluring and temporasy expedien s, determined to be content with 'nothing less than a lasting and a comprehen- sive financial plan. In these circumstances ra.m convinced that a reasonable delay in deal- ing with this subject,instead of beieg injurious, will increase the probability of wise action. He recommende a generel reorganization of the army, hinting at rednotloto and detail:1 the progress of coast delenue work, the pat office repoet, the report of the Secretary ef the Navy, ood thee refers to the Pezeton goestion The report of the Secretary of the Interior is -of special value and interest. On the 30th day of June, 1893, there were on the pension rolls 969,012 names, an increase of 89,944 over the number on the roll on June 30th, 1892, the dis- covery having been made that many names had been put upon the pension roll by means of wholesale and gigantic trends. The com- missioner suspended payments upon a number of pensions which seemed to be traudalent or mnauthorized,pendieg, a complete examination. giving notice to the pensioners in order that they might have an opportunity toestablish, if possible, the justice of their claims notwith- standing apparent invalidity. I am unable to -understand why frauds in the pension rolls should not be exposed and cote ected with thoroughness and vigor. Every name fraudu- lently put upon these rolls is a wicked inmost - tion upon the kindly sentiment in which pensions have their origin. Every fraudulent pensioner has become a bad citizen, Every 'false oath in support of a pension has mead° per- jurymore common and false, and endeserving pensioners rob the people not only of their ,money,but of the patriotic sentiment which the survivors of the war who , ought for the preserve - tion of the Union ought to Inspire, Thousands of neighborhoods have their well-known fraudulent pensioners, and recent develop- ments by the bureau establish appalling con- spiracies to accomplish pensions frauds. By no means the least -wrong done is to brave and deserving pensioners who certainly ought not to be condemned to such aseothation. Thoec 3;vho attempt in the line of duty to rectify these wrongs should not be sok:used of enmity or indifference to the claim e of alonest vetemne. niers ege goes en te disown thelestlions, e:forestry, the civil service low, the last of which is lauded highly, and then praceeds : After a hard struggle tariff reform is directly 'before us. Nothing so important claims our atteution, and nothiog so clearly presents itself as both an opportunity and a duty—an opportunity to deserve the gratitude see our fellow -citizens, and a duty unposed upon us by our oft -repeated professions and by the enaphatic mandate of the people. After full discussion our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform and they have confided the work of its accomplishment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to it. Nothing should intervene to distract our attention or disturb our effort until this reform is accomplished by wise and carefullegielation, while we should staunchly adhere ro the jprin- ciple that only the necessity of revenue usti• -fies the imposition of tariff duties and other federal taxation and that they should he limited by strict economy. We _cannot close cur eyes to the fact thatconditione have grown up among ns which in justice and fairness -call for discriminating care in the distribution of such duties and taxation as the emer- genciee of our Government actually demand. fani1est1y if we are to aid the peome directly through tariff reform one of its most obvious leatures should be a reduction in present tariff charges upon the necessaries of life; not less closely related to our poople's Dr oipentst and -well-being is the removel of restriction s upon the importation of the raw materials necessary to our manufactures. The world should be open to our natural ingenuity and enterprise. This cannot be while Federal legislation through the imposition of high tariff forbids to American manufacturers as cheapmaterials as those used by their competitors. It is quite ob. -ohms that the enhancement of the mice of our manufaetured prothic. re- sulting from this policy, not only confines the market for these 'products within our own border', to the directdieadvan- Mgt) of our mahufacturers, but also increases -their cost to our citizens. The interests of labor are certainly, though indirectly. involvedin this feature of our tariff system. The sharp com- petition and active struggle among our menu- Itecturers to supply the limited eernand for their goods soon ills the narrow market to winch they aro confined. Then follows a sus- pension or work in mills and factories, a di - charge of employees and distress in the homes of our, workingmen. Even it the often dis- proved assertion could be made goorl that a ;lower rate of wages would reeult front free raw materials and low tariff dutiee, tho in- telligence of our workingmen leads them quickly to discover that their steady employ- ment, permitted by free raw reate.ria.le. Is the most important factor in their relation tee tatiff measure has been prepared by the appro- priate congressional committee embodying tariff reform on the lines herein enggested, which will be promptly submitted for lerela,- tive action. It is the result of much patriotic and unselfish work, and I believe it deeds with its subject consistently and s s thoroughly as existing conditions permit. I OM Satisfied that the reduced toxin' duties provided for in the proposed legislation, added to existing internal revenue taxation, will in the near totem, though perhape not immediately. orodueesuill- cient eevenue to meet the neede of the Govern- xnente In conclusion, my intense feeling of reeponsi- laility impels me to invoke for the manifold interests of a generous and confiding people the mot scrupulous care, and to pledge my willing support to every legielative effort for the advancement of the greatnese maid pros- perity of our beloved eenntay.
