PREFACE.
There are no longer off years in American politics. The variety of
issues, the multiplicity of parties, the frequency of elections, all combine to
keep up the general interest in political affairs that culminates in the presiden-
tial elections. While only a small number of states held elections in 1897 they
were of unusual interest as indicating any change in public sentiment since
1896 upon which estimates may be based as to the congressional elections of
the present year.
A new feature is incorporated into the present issue of the Almanac and
that is the chapter showing the movements of political parties during the year
1897. While they have not been numerous they have been important and
significant. Some space has been devoted to the war in the east, from the fact
that it excited very considerable interest in the United States and may have an
important bearing on the history of Europe.
Especial care has been taken in treating the Cuban revolt, annexation
of Hawaii, the monetary commission and Alaska, with its gold fields and
disputed boundary. The statistics upon education, the tariff, agriculture, for 1
estry, domestic commerce, gold and silver, pensions and other subjects of
immediate importance and interest are full, impartial and as accurate as pos-
sible. The article on the ship canal from the great lakes to the Atlantic
seaboard is of interest to the entire country between the Mississippi valley
and eastern tide-water.
The aim has been to give facts and figures from a strictly nonpartisan
standpoint according to their value and importance.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Congress convened In extra session on the opposed the rule adopted by the house for
15th day of March, 1897. On the openipg day the conduct of the debate. In brief, the
of the session a message was read from the special rule provided that the debate should

tariff question. The same day Mr. Dingley of p m., with a recess from 6 to 8 p. m. The
Maine, chairman of the committee of ways general debate was limited to the time be-
anu means, introduced into the house of rep- tween the 22d and the 25th of March, after
resentatives a new tariff bill which had been which the debate was to be under the five-
for several months in preparation. The bill minute rule. The democrats claimed that
was a very long one. covering 169 printed the object of this special rule was to cut off
pages, and was popularly called after the debate and prevent the claimed inconsist-
mover. It was not until the 22d of March encies of the bill from being brought out.
that the debate began on the bill. The The only important amendment offered to
democratic members of the house strongly the bill was one by Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
which proposed to make the bill retroactive,
so as to apply to all goous imported after
April 1, whether the bill should become a
[aw by that time or not. The certainty of
the passage by congress of a bill that would
increase the duties levied under the law in
force greatly stimulated importations and
the object of the Grosvenor amendment was
to secure to the government the rate of
duties on such importations under the new-
schedule. The amendment was adopted by
the house by a vote of 200 to 140. The af-
firmative vote was made up of the repub-
licans and one silverite (Isewlands of Ne-
vada). The negative vote was composed of
the democrats and some of the populists.
The following did not vote: Hartman
(Mont.), Jones (Wash.), Martin (.N. C.),
Shafroth (Col.), Shuford (N. C.) and Stroud
(N. C.I.
A vote was taken on the bill on the 31st
of March, when it passed by a vote of 205 to
121. Of those who voted in the affirmative
199 were republicans, 5 were democrats and
1 was a populist (Howard of Alabama).
The negative vote was made up of 114 demo-
crats and 7 populists. Twenty-one re-
frained from voting, of whom eighteen were
populists and three were silverites.
The bill was sent to the senate and re-
ferred to the finance committee. Upon
reaching the committee the entire bill was
rewritten and instead of the 169 pages, as it
left the house, it became a bill of 230 when
t left the senate finance committee. The
debate on the bill in the senate was opened
by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, who
gave a general synopsis of its contents, with
the reasons for the proposed changes in the
aw. Several exciting scenes occurred while
the bill was before the senate, the most
notable being the charges made by Senator
Tillman of South Carolina on the 28th of
May, when he offered a resolution for in-
estigating "the open charges of corrup-
_ion" made against senators and the sugar
trust regarding the controlling of legisla-
tion. The senate did not, however, take
any action on the resolution. The rate of
duty on raw cotton was the subject of an
animated debate.
The senate added the reciprocity, retalia-
tion and stamp tax on bonds, debentures,
certificates of stock, etc., clauses. A num-
ber of efforts were made to incorporate a
clause providing that when any article is
manufactured or controlled by a trust it
should be placed upon the free list, but
nothing further was done than to secure
the insertion into the bill of the anti-tmst
provision of the law of 1894. A vote in the
senate was reached on the 7th of July, when
the bill was passed by a vote of 38 to 28.

The following senators were paired, the
first named being a republican and the sec- |
ond a democrat:
Aldrich of Rhode Island with
New York; Chandler of
with McLaurin of South Carolina; Frye
Maine with Gorman of Maryland; Gear of
Iowa with Smith of New Jersey ; Hansbrough
of North Dakota with Daniel of Virginia;
Hoar of Massachusetts with Harris of Ten-
nessee; Thurston of Nebraska with Tillman
of South Carolina; Wolcott of Colorado with
George of Mississippi.
The bill then went to a conference com-
mittee of the two houses and work was be-
gun on it July 9, 1897. July 17 the confer-
ence committee reached an agreement.
Among the changes made are the following:
The tax on stocks and bonds was aban-
doned; the house sugar schedule with some
important changes was adopted; the sched-
ule now reads in part: "Sugars not above
16 Dutch standard, etc., testing by the po-
lariscope not above 75 degrees, ninety-five
one-hundredths of 1 cent per pound, for
every additional degree thirty-five one-thou-
sandths of 1 cent per pound additional;
on sugar above 16 Dutch standard and on re-
fined sugar the duty is 1 cent and ninety-
five one-hundredths of a cent per pound."
Works of art, excepting books for libraries,
were placed on the dutiable list, as were
also cotton ties, burlaps, matting, etc.; cot-
ton ties will pay a specific duty of one-half
a cent and on the other articles the duty
has been slightly decreased from the senate
rates; the wool schedule as agreed to by the
conferees provides for a duty of 11 cents per
pound on first class, 12 cents per pound on
second class and on third class wools 4 cents
per pound when valued at less than 12
cents per pound and 8 cents per pound when ,
valued above 12 cents; the duty on hides
has been reduced from 20 per cent to 15 per
cent ad valorem; it is said that a "strong
fight" was made to have hides restored to
the free list.
The measure finally passed the house July
19 and the senate Julv 24 and became n law
at 4:04 n. m. of that dav when the president
affixed his name to the bill.

FOREIGN COINS. Before the United States mint could supply the demand for money
the gold coins of Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal and the silver coins of France and
Spain were by several acts of congress made legal-tender. All such laws were repealed by the
* Section 11 of the act of 1792, April 2. provides "that in all coins which shall be current
as money in the United States * * * every fifteen pounds weight of pure silver shall be of
equal value in all payments with one pound of pure gold." Ratio 15 to 1.
tThe act of 1834, June 28, reduced the weight of pure gold in the gold coins so that the
proportion of gold to alloy should be as 899.225 to 100, or nearly .900 fine.
iThe act of 1837, Jan. 18, reduced the weight of the alloy in the silver dollar so that
the weight of that coin should be 412.5 grains instead of 41t'> grains; but the weight of pure sil-
ver in that coin has always been the same -namelv. 371.25 grains. This act also increased a
very little the fineness of the gold coin and so fixed the ratio between gold and silver
at 16 to 1.
Section 14 of the act of 1873. Feb. 12, provides "that the gold coins of the United States
shall be a $1 piece, which at the standard weight. 25.8 grains, shall be the unit of value." The
act of 1S90, Sep. 26, expressly prohibits the coinage of " the $1 gold piece."

NON-LEGAL-TENDER TREASURY NOTE ISSUES. 1812-61.
Various issues of treasury notes were authorized by acts of congress, down to 1861, but in
every case they were merely temporary loans, usually bearing interest and payable only to
such persons "as chose to receive them." The various issues of non-legal-tender treasury
notes are shown as follows:

LEGAL-TENDER NOTES.
For nearly fifty years, from 1812 to 1881. at
various times congress had authorized the
issue of treasury notes, but not until the
latter year was it ever proposed to make such
notes a legal tender. A bankrupt treasury,
an impaired credit and a civil war of unparal-
leled proportions made desperate measures
necessary, and there was scarcely a financier
in 1861 who did not consider the proposed issue
of legal-tender notes a desperate undertaking,
justified only, if at all. by the law of self-pres-
ervation, which operates in behalf of nations
as well as individuals. The first "legal-
tender" act was approved Feb. 25, 1862. It
authorized the issue of $150,000,000 non-interest-
bearing notes, payable to bearer, in denomi-
nations of not less than $5 and legal tender in
payment of all debts, public and private, ex-
cept duties on imports and interest on the
public debt. These notes were made ex-
changeable for 6 per cent bonds and receiv-
able for loans that might thereafter be made
by the government. Supplementary acts of
July 11. 1862, and Jan. 17, 1863, authorized
additional issues of $150.000,000 each, in de-
nominations of not less than $1, and the time
in which to exchange the notes for bonds was
limited to July 1, 1863. It was under these acts
that the legal-tender notes known as "green-
backs." now outstanding, were issued. The
legal-tender issues during the war period
were:

GOLD AND SILVER IN THE UNITED STATES TREASURY.
The total holdings of gold and silver by the
government at the close of each fiscal year
since 1878 are shown in the table below. First
is given the gross gold, including coin and
bullion, and then the net gold, after deduct-
ing the amount of gold certificates in circula-
tion. The gross amount of silver dollars and
bullion in the treasury is next shown, and
then the net, after deducting the silver certifi-
cates outstanding. The treasury notes issued
since Aug. 13. 1890, for the purchase of silver
bullion are not deducted from the silver in
the treasury, as the notes are not certificates
of deposit redeemable in silver, the same as
the silver certificates, but are treasury notes,
the same as the old legal tenders. To the net
silver dollars and bullion is added the sub-
sidiary silver in the treasury, which gives the
total net silver.

The Supreme Court.
The Supreme court consists of seven judges,
elected for a term of nine years, one from
each of the seven districts into which the
state is divided. The election is held in June
of the year in which any term expires.
The state was formerly divided into three
grand divisions which have been consolidated
by act of legislature. The three clerks elected
from the old divisions hold over until the end
of their terms in 11*02, after which only one
will be elected. One clerk for each of the
three grand divisions is elected for a term of
six years.

CHRONOLOGY OF STEAMBOATING,
The following chronological exposition of the origin, invention and introduction of the
steamboat and steamship is given on the authority of the New York Marine Journal:
The first idea of steam navigation was
contained in a patent obtained in England
by Hulls in 1736.
Fitch experimented in steam navigation on
the Delaware river in 1783-4.
Oliver Evans was the next experimenter
In steam navigation in 1785-6.
Ramsey was also an experimenter in Vir-
ginia in steam navigation in 1787.
W. Symington made a trial on the Forth
and Clyde with a small and rudely con-
structed model of a steamer in 1789.
Chancellor Livingston built a steamer on
the Hudson in 1797.
The first experiment in steamboating on
the Thames, England, was in 1801.
Mr. Symington repeated his experiments
on the Thames with success in 1802.
Fulton built the steamer the North River
and made a passage up the Hudson river to
Albany from New York in thirty-three hours
the first steam navigation on record. The
engines were constructed by Boulton &

pupils in the public high schools.
(Including pupils in preparatory or aca-
demic departments of higher institutions,
public and private, and excluding elemen-
tary pupils, who are classed under "Pupils
receiving elemementary instruction."
iThis is made up chiefly from the returns of
individual high schools to the bureau and is
considerably too small, as there are a great
many secondary pupils outside the completely
organized high schools whom there are no
means of enumerating.
Including colleges for women, agricultural
and mechanical (land grant) colleges and
scientific schools. Students in law. theological
and medical departments are excluded, being
included in tabulation under that head; stu-
dents in academic and preparatory depart-
ments are also excluded, being included in
"Pupils receiving secondary instruction."
(Including schools of pharmacy and veter-
inary medicine.

CORN FO
Burning corn for fuel has often been men-
tioned as one of the signs that the poor
farmer who burns it is in the last ditch of
poverty, but a bulletin issued by the ex-
periment station of the University of Ne-
braska, giving results of tests of the value
of corn as fuel, shows that the burning of
corn may be a proceeding showing financial
wisdom and one greatly to the farmer's
benefit when the price of corn is low and
that of coal high. The tests showed that 1
pound of screened Wyoming coal, costing
ease.
R FUEL.
$6.65 per ton, evaporated 1.9 times as much
water in a steam boiler as could be evapo-
rated by 1 pound of a good grade of yellow
dent corn on the ear, not thoroughly dry.
The following figures show the value of corn
per bushel as fuel when coal of the same
variety as that used in the tests is selling
at the prices given:

By the concurrent action of the principal
governments of the world an International
Bureau of Weights and Measures has been
established near Paris. Under the direction
of the International Committee two ingots
were cast of pure platinum-iridium in the
proportion of 9 parts of the former to 1 of the
latter metal. From one of these a certain
number of kilogrammes were prepared, from
the other a definite number of meter bars.
These standards of weight and length were
inter-compared, without preference, and cer-
tain ones were selected as international pro-
totype standards. The others were distrib-
uted by lot, in September. 1&89. to the different
governments and are called national proto-
type standards. Those apportioned to the
United States were received in 1890 and are in
the keeping of this office.
The metric system was legalized in the
United States in 1866.
The international standard meter is derived
from the meter des archives, and its length is
defined by the distance between two lines at
QO centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar de
posited at the International Bureau ol
Weights and Measures.
The international standard kilogramme i_
a mass of platinum-iridium deposited at the
same place, and its weight in vacuo is the
same as that of the kilogramme des archives
The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter, and
It is measured by the quantity of distilled
water which, at its maximum density, wil
counterpoise the standard kilogramme in a
vacuum, the volume of such a quantity 01
water being, as nearly as has been ascer
tained, equal to a cubic decimeter.

The only authorized material standard of
customary length is the Troughton scale be-
longing to this office, whose length at 59 .62
Fahr. conforms to the British standard. The
yard in use in the United States is therefore
equal to the British yard.
The only authorized material standard of
customary weight s the troy pound of the
mint. It is of brass of unknown density, and
therefore not suitable for a standard of mass.
It was derived from the British standard
troy pound of 1758 by direct comparison. The
British avoirdupois pound was also derived
from the latter, and contains 7.000 grains troy.
The grain troy is therefore the same as the
grain avoirdupois, and the pound avoirdu-
pois in use in the United States is equal to
the British pound avoirdupois.
The British gallon= 4.54346 liters.
The British bushel=36.3477 liters.
The length of the nautical mile given above
and adopted by the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey many years ago is denned
as that of a minute of arc of a great circle of a
sphere whose surface equals that of the earth
(Clarke's Spheroid of 1866).

*Some of the figures in this table as printed prior to 189(5 were taken from reports of the
superintendent of Indian schools. As revised, they are all taken from the reports of the com-
missioner of Indian affairs. Prior to 1882 the figures include the New York schools.
flndian children attending public schools are included in the average attendance, but the
schools are not included in the number of schools.
$Decrease in number of boarding schools is due to discontinuance of some contract schools
and the conversion of others into day schools.

The historic and patriotic Order of the Cin-
innati was founded by the American and
French officers at the cantonments of the
continental army on the Hudson at the close
of hostilities in the war of the revolution for
American independence in May, 1783.
In forming the society it was declared that
'to perpetuate, therefore, as well the remem-
brance of this vast event as the mutual friend-
ships which have been formed under the
pressure of common danger, and, in many in-
stances, cemented by the blood of the parties,
the officers of the American army do hereby,
in the most solemn manner, associate, consti-
tute and combine themselves into one society
of friends, to endure as long as they shall en-
dure, or any of their eldest male posterity.
and in failure thereof the collateral branches
who may be judged worthy of becoming its
supporters and members."
For convenience, thirteen state societies
were formed, and one in France under the
direct patronage of Louis XVI. Upon the roll
of original members appeared the names of
all the great historic military and naval char-
acters of the revolution, and upon the roll of
honorary members, elected for their own lives
only, appeared many of the signers of the
declaration of independence.
Several state societies became dormant be-
cause the members had to emigrate to the
lands given them for their services, west of
the Alleghanies, and with broken health and
ruined fortunes begin life anew in failure of
congress to keep its'proinises as to half-pay.
There now remain nine state societies
viz., those of Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut (revived 1893), New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and
South, Carolina, and the one in France, which
was dispersed at the reign of terror in 1793. has
been re-established under the acting presi-
dency of M. le Marquis de Rochambeau.
Membership descends to the eldest lineal
male descendant, if judged worthy, and, in
failure of direct male descent, to male descend-
ants through intervening female descendants.
The general society is composed of the gen-
eral officers and five delegates from each state
society, and meets triennially. In 1S54 it ruled
that proper descendants of revolutionary
officers who were entitled to original member-
ship, but who never could avail themselves of
it, are qualified for hereditary membership, if
found worthy, on due application.
The last triennial meeting of the general
society was held in Philadelphia, Pa., in May,
1896.
The number of living members of the Society
of the Cincinnati, as reported at the triennial
meeting May, 1893, was 499. President Cleve-
land and Maj.-Gen. Howard, U. S. A., are hon-
orary members in the New York state society;
ex-President Harrison is an honorary member
of the Pennsylvania siate society, and Gen.
John M. Schofleld is an honorary member of
the New Jersey state society.

The Society of Colonial Wars was instituted
in 1892 to "perpetuate the memory of these
events and of the men who. in military, naval
and civil positions of high trust and responsi-
bility, by their acts of counsel assisted in the
establishment, defense and preservation of
the American colouies. and were in truth the
founders of this nation. With this end in
view it seeks to collect and preserve manu-
scripts, rolls and records; to provide suitable
commemorations or memorials relating to the
American colonial period, and to inspire in its
members the paternal and patriotic spirit of
their forefathers, and iu the community re-
spect and reverence for those whose public
services made our freedom and unity possi-
ble." Eligibility is confined to an adult male
descendant of an ancestor who fought in bat-
tle under colonial authority, from the settle-
ment of Jamestown. Va.. in 1607, to the battle
of Lexington, in 1775. or who served as gov-
ernor, deputy-governor, lieutenant-governor,
member of the council, or as a military, naval
or marine officer in the service of the colo-
nies or under the banner of Great Britain, or
was conspicuous in military, official or legis-
lative life during that period. The New York
society was the original society, and state so-
cieties have also been organized in Pennsyl-
vania. Maryland, Massachusetts. New Jersey,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Mis-
souri, Illinois, Virginia and the District of
Columbia.

The two societies (Sons of the American
Revolution and Sons of the Revolution) are
alike in their aims and objects. These are
fostering among themselves and their
descendants the patriotic spirit of the men
who in the naval, military or civil service of
the colonies assisted in advancing the inde-
pendence of the United States, and to collect
and preserve the history of the revolutionary
war and to promote intercourse and fraternal
feeling among the members. Eligibility to
membership in each is confined to male de
scendants from an ancestor who as a soldier
sailor or civil official assisted in establishing
American independence during the war of the
revolution. The society has a membership
of 5,330.

*Labor day was made a national holiday by
congress. It is the only strictly national
holiday we have, not excepting the Fourth
of July. Congress has at various times ap-
pointed special holidays, and has recognized
the existence of certain days as holidays,
but there is no general statute on the sub-
ject The proclamation of the president
designating a day of thanksgiving only
makes sucn day a holiday in those states
which provide for it by law.
NATIONAL DEBTS.
The total national debt of the world is
now $29,000,000,000, while in 1875 it was $23,-
750,000,000. France has the distinction of
leading the world in this regard with a debt
of $6,000,000,000, followed by Great Britain
with $3,300,000,000. The third on the list is
Austria-Hungary with $3,030,000,000, while
Russia is fourth with $2,875,000,000 and Italy
fifth with $2,530,000,000. Spain comes next,
with $1,395,000,000, and the United States is
seventh with $996,141,952. Germany has a
debt of only $420,000,000.
Spain owes comparatively the largest sum
to foreigners, while in France the great bulk
of the papers are in possession of Frenchmen
themselves. But nearly every other nation
is indebted for enormous amounts to Its own
subjects. France takes the lead as a lend-
ing people on account of the good financial
standing and the saving propensities of its
people. The example of France seems to
confirm the proposition that a national debt
is a good thing for the prosperity of a peo-
ple, for in that country the national debt
and the general prosperity of the populace
have steadily advanced in recent decades in
equal proportions.
The growth of national debts can be seen
from the following table, in which the fig-
ures for twenty years ago are given in the
first column, those for 1897 in the second
column :
France $4,500,000,000
England 3.900,000,000
Austria-Hungary. 1,750,000,000
Russia 1.700,000,000
Italy 1,950,000,000
Spain 1,375,000,000
Australasia .... 230,000.000
United States... 2,220,000,000

Egypt 375,000,000
Holland
Belgium
Germany 1,000,000,000
Argentina
Canada 155,000,000
Japan
Each inhabitant of France pays, on the
average, each year $4.75 interest on the na-
tional debt; each Russian, $1.20; each Eng-
lishman, $3.15; each Austrian, $7.50; each
Italian, $3.80; each Spaniard, $3.25; each
American, 42 cents, and each German, 33
cents.

UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.
187
Utterances of tate Contentions.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT VARIOUS STATE CONVENTIONS ON NATIONAL
QUESTIONS.
As a rule the party conventions in the states holding elections in 1897 confined themselves
very closely to local issues in their platforms. In some states tne conventions contented
themselves by ratifying the platforms of the national assemblies of 1896.
THE FINANCES.
[Where parties are omitted no declaration was made.]
COLORADO:
REPUBLICANS.
Resolved, That the republican party of
Colorado unqualifiedly indorses the determi-
nation of the national republican party to
restore the value of silver bullion and se-
cure permanent bimetallism by appointing
a monetary commission to secure an inter-
national agreement. That in appointing
Senator Wolcott at the head of said com-
mission and backing the efforts of said com-
mission by the whole diplomatic power of
his administration President McKinley is
entitled to the unanimous support of all
citizens of Colorado who desire the restora-
tion of silver.
We earnestly commend the efforts of Sen-
ator Wolcott in his active prosecution of
the only rational attempt that has hith-
erto been made to secure enduring bimet-
allism and we denounce as infamous the
calumny that has been heaped upon him by
the democratic and populistic press.
DEMOCRATS.
We believe the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 to be the paramount
issue before the people of this nation and
until settled rightly it should be the su-
preme question in every election, whether
national or local. We expressly declare our
opposition to any movement which may be
construed as a waiver of that issue and
pledge ourselves to do all in our power,
whether alone or in conjunction with others
who believe in the same thing, to defeat any
candidate who accepts a nomination by
those who are opposed to the principles of
the Chicago platform.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
The silver republicans of Colorado in
convention assembled declare that the adop-
tion of a single gold standard by the na-
tions of the world means the restriction of
commerce to the narrowest possible limit
and will, if continued, entail upon the
wage-earning classes a lasting servitude,
which will seriously retard, if not destroy,
the development of civilization. We owe it,
therefore, not only to ourselves, but to the
people of our common country, to steadfast-
ly and courageously continue the battle for
the restoration of the money of the constitu-
tion.
We declare that the silver republican
Carty of Colorado will maintain its organ-
sation intact without yielding, abandoning
or compromising any of the principles which
called it into existence, and we oppose affili-
ation with any organization which does
not stand with us upon the question of
bimetallism, which we regard as of con-
trolling and paramount political Impor-
tance. We especially oppose affiliation with
the present republican administration party
because it declared in its platform of 1896
that it is opposed to the free coinage of sil-
ver and that the present gold standard
must be maintained until the principal
commercial nations of the world consent
that we may have a financial system of our
own. We recognize that a judicial conven-
tion should be as far as practicable di-
vorced from politics, yet we desire to place
ourselves upon record as being unqualifiedly
in favor of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation or country
on earth.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand the free and unlimited coin-
age of silver and gold at the legal ratio
of 16 to 1 by our own government, independ-
ent of the action of any other nation, and
we demand that the amount of paper money
be regulated to the wants of trade and be
issued directly by the government. We call
upon all friends of this cause to be manly
and brave at this critical time.
IOWA.
REPUBLICANS.
The platform "reaffirms and adopts In
every part the declaration of principles an-
nounced by the republican national conven-
tion in 1896 and it pledges for Iowa the
election in November next shall be a still
more emphatic evidence of the strength and
justice of republican doctrines.
"It again specially declares for protection
and honest money."
DEMOCRATS.
The democracy of Iowa in convention as-
sembled send greeting to the nearly 7,000,000
patriots who participated and aided in the
battle of the people in their struggle for their
rights in the last campaign, by giving re-
newed expression of devotion to the princi
ples of the democracy of the nation as set
forth in the platform adopted by the demo-
cratic party at Chicago in 1896. We lay spe-
cial emphasis upon that portion of the na-
tional platform of the democratic party on
the financial question, believing that the very
existence of the farming, laboring and com-
mercial interests of the country defends upon
a change of our financial policy, and we en-
ter into the first campaign after the greal
battle of the people against the combined
corporate and money power, in which that
peerless statesman and patriot, W. J.
Bryan, was our leader, with the reassertion
"that we demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other nation."
FREE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
The free silver republican party of Iowa,
in convention assembled, hereby declare
these are our principles:
We are first and unalterably in favor of
188
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 188.
the free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
and heartily indorse the declaration of the
republican party of Iowa in 1877 that, "the
silver dollar having been the legal unit of
value from the foundation of the federal
government until 1873, the law by which its
coinage was suspended should be repealed
at the earliest possible day and silver made
with gold a legal tender for the payment of
all debts, both public and private."
That the epithet "cheap money," as ap-
plied to the old standard silver dollar of the
United States, is both disloyal and dis-
honest. It had its origin and use with the
money shark during the wnr of the rebel-
lion, in denouncing the legal tender notes,
and Is now the favorite term of those who
want to make money scarce and high, so
they may take advantage of it and prey
upon the necessities and distresses of the
government and people.
We reaffirm the doctrine of the resolution
passed by a republican congress in 1878,
known as the Matthews resolution, to the
effect that the payment of all national ob-
ligations in the silver dollar of 412^ grains
standard is not in violation of the public
faith nor in derogation of the public credit.
We further affirm that, the national debts
having been contracted under the legal
ratio of 16 to 1, the proposition made by the
republican party to make the gold standard
permanent and to ignore the constitutional
sphere of silver is rank repudiation of the
contract and we therefore denounce it as
both dishonest and un-American.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We. the populists of Iowa, in convention
assembled, hereby declare these our princi-
ples:
W r e are first and unalterably in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 with gold,
and we heartily indorse the declaration of
the party in Iowa in 1877 that, "the silver
dollar having been the legal unit of value
from the foundation of the federal govern-
ment until 1873, the law by which its coin-
age was suspended should be repealed at the
earliest possible moment and silver made
with gold a full legal tender for the pay-
ment of all debts, both public and private."
That all supplementary currency should
be issued by the government and should be
a full legal tender for all debts, and we
view with alarm the threat of the present
administration to withdraw and to destroy
the government issue and look upon the
movement as a further crime in decreasing
the amount of money in use, while popula-
tion is increasing, and augmenting the
bonded debt in times of peace.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
The national democrats of the state of
Iowa, in convention assembled, declare:
The doctrines of paternalism, class legis-
lation and debased coinage, to which each
of the three contracting parties making
up the free silver-populistic triple alliance
in this state have recently pledged them-
selves in their several platforms, are as
abhorrent to every true democrat when ad-
vocated by populists under the name of
democracy as when taught by republicans.
Democracy is a necessary foe of each and
we repudiate them as unworthy of the sup-
port of every true democrat.
KENTUCKY.
REPUBLICANS.
Resolved, by the republican party in con-
vention assembled, That we reaffirm tho
principles of the republican party as set
forth in the platform adopted by it at St.
Louis in 1896.
DEMOCRATS.
Resolved. First That we hereby reaffirm
our faith in the principles set forth and
enumerated in the platform adopted by the
democratic party in national convention
held at Chicago in July. 1896, and we re-
adopt said platform as the platform of the
democracy of Kentucky.
Second That the principles adopted and
set forth in that platform are the true
principles of democratic faith and we urge
upon all true democrats to stand by them
at all times and under all circumstances
and conditions.
Third That we indorse the canvass made
by William J. Bryan, the nominee of the
democratic party for the presidency of the
United States in the late election. We rec-
ommend its wisdom, approve it as just and
fair to all parties and interests of our com-
mon country. We recognize in him the
peerless orator and statesman and the great
champion of the people's rights against the
money power, the monopolists, the syndi-
cates and trusts and pledge him the support
of a united democracy in our state.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The people's party of Kentucky, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby in positive
terms, reaffirm our faithful allegiance and
ardent devotion to the principles of the
people's party, 'as enunciated in the plat-
form adopted at Omaha, Neb., in 1892, and
at St. Louis in 1896, and we hereby cordially
invite all true reformers throughout the
state and nation to assist us in carrying
into effect the said principles.
She Omaha platform advocated the free
age of silver at present ratio.)
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
The national democracy of Kentucky, In
convention assembled, cordially approve
the action taken last year resulting in the
Indianapolis convention, the nomination of
Palmer and Buckner and the complete re-
organization and perpetuation of the demo-
cratic party, not only for that campaign, but
for all time. We reaffirm as the pledge of
the democratic party that when intrusted
with federal power it will enact such tax
laws as will produce sufficient revenue and
framed for revenue only, levying necessary
taxes only and impartially and without
bounties, bonuses or favors; will reform the
currency laws so as to maintain the stand-
ard of the world and furnish a sound, stable
and sufficient currency of gold and silver, in-
terchangeable with each other at equal
commercial value; will, regain, with suit-
able revenue and navigation laws, the su-
premacy of the seas; enforce a proper civil-
service system; preserve the public order;
maintain the public peace, and protect the
rights, liberties and property of the citizens
by such means as may be necessary at home
and abroad. We denounce the free and un-
limited coinage of silver as inevitably pro-
ducing silver monometallism, and we advo-
cate a gold standard and the coinage of sil-
ver to the requirements of commerce as of-
fering the only means of maintaining bimet-
allism, and denounce any attempt to fix the
ratio between the metals arbitrarily by law
without reference to their commercial value
as unsafe and dangerous to public welfare
and private interests.
UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.
189
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICANS.
Twelve months ago a party, once great,
put forward a platform of devastation and
destruction.
Upon it, under new and strange leader-
ship, stood candidates who violently advo-
cated its purposes of disorder disorder in
our revenue, in our financial system, in the
execution of law and the administration of
justice.
To-day that mass of dream and delusion
is spurned even by the Nebraska farmers,
who voted for it and who now know the
fallacy of the deadly parallel between
wheat and the white metal. Calked with
free silver heresies, that same platform
floats an abandoned derelict upon a turbu-
lent sea, sighted now and then from some
volcanic rock by a Debs, an Altgeld, or,
even as on yesterday, by somebody or other
in our own state, but never again to enter
the haven of American confidence, to
threaten and affright.
To that creed of Bryanism and disorder
the St. Louis platform stood opposed.
It won the fight in behalf of principle and
national honor. But the republican party
has done more than win; it has scrupulously
kept and promptly performed its promises.
It has maintained the gold standard.
It has given what the people wanted and
believe in a tariff to protect our labor and
our industries, to furnish adequate revenue
to our treasury an American policy for the
American people.
We see a republican president institut-
ing an honest search for honest bimetallism,
which an international agreement alone can
effect; under severe pressure for place, not
merely maintaining, but wisely extending,
the merit system in our civil service; de-
claring to other nations a policy dignified
and firm without arrogance, patriotic al-
ways.
DEMOCRATS.
Whether it is judicious to abandon half of
the money in the world is the supreme ques-
tion. The demonetization of silver, begun
in 1873, with little or no thought in Europe
and America, has been a potent and increas-
ing factor in the disastrous depression of
the last twenty years, not uniform, but
with ups and downs, each level being lower
than the last. Gold has appreciated in pur-
chasing power more than 3 per cent a
year, demoralizing the producing classes
with paralysis of trade through falling
C rices and causing cruel unemployment of
*bor and reduction of the wage fund. The
destruction of silver money already in proc-
ess will, if completed have doubled the de-
mand for gold, its price and its purchasing
power, while all other prices will have suf-
fered an enormous decrease, with the burden
of debts doubled, debtors bankrupted and a
vast share of the world's wealth transferred
from debtors to creditors by the malignant
magic of an appreciating standard of value.
The democratic party opposes the attempt
to fasten on the country gold monometallism
and demands the remonetization of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. The demand for silver
would be so enormous and the demand for
gold so reduced that the two would meet
and remain at parity and the paralyzing bat-
tle of the standards cease and the world
would enter upon a. period of assured pros-
perity.
Just now a shortage of the world's food
crops, culminating in widespread and gta*-
ly Asiatic famine, has raised prices for our
products. These abnormal conditions have
largely eliminated the competition of silver
using countries. But a recurrence of good
crops will renew the fierce competition of
these countries, which will again underbid
the American farmer and reduce the world's
prices of agricultural products. While re-
publicans may place their reliance upon
temporary distress abroad, democrats de-
mand such just and broad basis of standard
money as will maintain a stable standard
of value and stable prices, with steady em-
ployment of labor and capital.
The greenbacks issued by the government
have proved the country's bestpaper money
and should not be canceled. There can be
no privilege more dangerous than the control
of our currency supply by private bankers
and we stoutly oppose their attempt to
strengthen such a monopoly by the substitu-
tion of bank notes for our national notes.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
We adhere to and insist upon the main-
tenance of the present gold standard. We
believe that the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1, when the present commer-
cial ratio is nearly 40 to 1, would be de-
structive to the interests of wage earners,
of depositors in savings banks, of the in-
sured, of the veterans and of the whole peo-
ple. We believe that the payment of
debts, public or private, in dollars of less
intrinsic value than those in which they
were Contracted is dishonorable and dishon-
est. Therefore, we reaffirm our allegiance to
the great financial principle which guided
Jefferson. Jackson and Cleveland that it is
the sole function of the federal government
in monetary matters to provide a standard
of value and to coin metallic money, every
dollar of which shall be of equal intrinsic
value; that nothing but this coined money
shall be legal tender and that the govern-
ment shall not carry on a banking business.
We demand that some safe plan be adopt-
ed whereby our legal tender paper, silver
and silver certificates shall be withdrawn
and a banking system under proper control
be established through which adequate
banking facilities may be furnished to all
sections of the country.
We believe that a currency based upon
business assets and issued upon proper safe-
guards responds automatically to the neces-
sities of commerce and permits the issue of
an elastic medium of exchange in those sec-
tions where it is most needed for the crea-
tion of new enterprises and the employment
of American labor.
MICHIGAN.
REPUBLICANS.
We reaffirm the principles laid down In
the last national platform and we believe
the triumph of republican principles will
restore the country to that condition of
prosperity which it has always enjoyed
under republican supremacy.
DEMOCRATS.
The democracy of Michigan, in state con-
vention assembled, declare our unalterable
adherence and devotion to the principles of
the democratic party as expressed in the
Chicago platform of 1896. And we do further
declare that the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 is
the paramount issue and is essential to the
restoration of general prosperity to the
American people.
We are opposed to the retirement of the
paper currency issued by the government
190
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1898.
and the substitution therefor of paper cur-
rency issued by banking corporations. We
believe that to invest the bank corporation
with this power is highly detrimental to the
business interests and industrial classes of
the country.
UNION SILVER.
Resolved, That the first great struggle
against the despotism of the money power
has passed into history and. though defeated
by a combination of forces, fraud and cor-
ruption unknown before in the political his-
tory of civilized government, the ranks of
the advocates of the free coinage of gold
and silver are still unbroken, and with the
memory of our gallant leader, William Jen-
nings Bryan, still fresh in the minds and
hearts of more than six millions of freemen,
who supported him loyally on Nov. 3 last,
we pledge ourselves again to take up the
conflict that must end in victory before the
guaranties of the constitution life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness can be as-
sured by the people; and, believing this, we,
the union silver party of the state of Mich-
igan, reaffirm our adherence to the great
cause of bimetallism and dedicate ourselves
anew to the struggle for the restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. to the end that
the parity of the metals may be established
without awaiting the consent of any other
nation.
We declare ourselves as unalterably op-
posed to the proposed plan of the incoming
administration to further control the circu-
lating medium by the retirement of the
greenbacks and the increase of the bonded
debt, to the end that the power of the na-
tional banks may be increased by giving
them practically the control of the national
finances, believing that to the government
alone belongs the power to issue all the
money and that it shall be full legal tender
in payment of all debts, public and private.
PEOPLE'S PARTT.
The people's party of the state of Mich-
igan, in convention assembled, pride them-
selves as being the pioneers of the move-
ment to establish the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and a paper currency that
shall be a full legal tender for all debts,
dues and demands, wholly in the control of
the people, without the intervention of
banks of issue, and extends its congratula-
tions to every man, regardless of past party
affiliations, who on the 3d of November,
1896, cast his ballot for William J. Bryan
and the above demands, the most momen-
tous ever presented to the American people.
The battle on these lines has been fought
and lost, but the issue remains, still strong,
still worthy the suffrage of every true
American in 1900.
The laboring man and the farmer who
were inveigled into voting for McKinley
through promises of restored confidence and
a return of prosperity which have as yet
failed to materialize will soon become con-
vinced that the conduct of public affairs by
William McKinley and the republican party
will be but a repetition of Grover Cleve-
land's single gold standard, bond-issuing,
trust-fostering, cuckoo administration that
has destroyed all commodity values and the
opportunities to labor.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
We indorse the platform adopted at In-
dianapolis Sept. 3, 1896, as a clear and ex-
plicit statement of fiscal and economic
truths and a masterly enunciation of demo-
cratic faith.
We believe the time has now come when a
consistent, straightforward and deliberately
planned monetary system should be inau-
gurated by this country, the fundamental
basis of which should be:
That the gold standard which was defi-
nitely proclaimed at Indianapolis and in-
dorsed oy the people in November last be
maintained.
That a banking system be provided which
shall furnish credit facilities to every por-
tion of the country and a safe and elastic
circulation sufficient in amount to meet all
demands of business and planned with a
view of securing such a distribution of the
loanable capital of the country as will tend
to equalize the rates of interest in all parts
thereof.
That such steps be taken as will insure
the retirement of all classes of United
States notes.
MARYLAND.
REPUBLICANS.
That the supreme duty of maintaining in-
violate the national honor and credit renders
it impracticable that Maryland at this junc-
ture should elect to the United States sen-
ate an advocate and supporter of sound
money and <jne whose past conduct is a
guaranty of his future faithfulness.
That the action of the republican house of
representatives, under the able leadership of
Speaker Reed, in promptly seconding the
efforts of President McKinley to secure a
commission meets with
nonpartipan currency
our hearty approval.
DEMOCRATS.
The democracy of Maryland, in common
with the democracy of the union, believe
now, as they always have believed, in hon-
est money, the gold and silver money of the
constitution and the coinage of both metals
without discrimination against either into
standard dollars of final payment and re-
demption. We note with satisfaction that
the demand of more than six and one-half
millions of democratic voters expressed at
the polls last November has compelled Pres-
ident McKinley and a republican congress
to urge upon the European powers, through
the medium of a duly appointed commission,
the necessity of an international conference
to arrange the terms of a bimetallic system
under the operation of which both gold and
silver shall be used and recognized as money
of final redemption.
The sufferings of the masses, the honest
toilers, the bone and sinew, the brain and
courage and manhood of the land, have met
with the sympathy of the democracy, and
the protest of our great party, so eloquently
voiced in last year's election, has forced the
republican party, despite its arrogance and
recklessness, to recognize the needs of an
aroused and patriotic people. And, while
many democrats have not approved all the
expressions of their party in national con-
vention, bimetallism will surely come. It
may come through the instrumentalities set
in motion by the present administration,
though in truth inspired by the intrepid ac-
tion of the democratic voters. But it will
come, and the prosperity and happiness
that follow in its train will be due to the
courage, the undaunted fidelity and the in-
telligent patriotism of the democracy.
NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICANS.
No reference was made to the financial
question in the platform.
UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.
191
DEMOCRATS.
The democracy of Nebraska, In conven-
tion assembled, renews its devotion to the
principles of our party as taught by Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, and fully,
exactly and clearly denned by the demo-
cratic convention of 1896 and indorsed at
the polls by more than 6,000,000 voters of the
United States. Re-enforced by a multitude
of voters who were coerced and deluded in
1896, the patriots in 1900 will supplant the
regime of trusts by the reign of the people.
We heartily indorse the platform adopted
at Chicago last year by the democracy of
the nation and reiterate the declaration
therein made that the money question is
the paramount question before the people.
John G. Carlisle, in his speech of 1878, said
the struggle now going on cannot cease and
ought not to cease until all the industrial
interests of the country are fully and finally
emancipated from the heartless domination
of the syndicates, stock exchanges and other
combinations of money grabbers in this
country and in Europe. We assert that the
struggle described by Mr. Carlisle is more
bitter to-day than it was in 1878, and that
emancipation from the heartless combination
of the syndicates, stock exchanges and other
money combinations in this country and Eu-
rope is more imperative than ever before in
the history of the nation.
We denounce the masked attempt of the
administration to secure the retirement of
the greenbacks under the pretense of cur-
rency reform, and we urge members and
representatives in senate and house to use
every effort to prevent the consummation of
this scheme.
We congratulate the democracy of Ne-
braska on having furnished to the allied
silver forces of the nation that great leader,
William J. Bryan, who so fully met the re-
sponsibilities of the memorable campaign
of 1896, and who, though defeated, is strong r
to-day in the hearts of the American people
than his victorious opponent. We indorse
and commend his determination to continue
the fight for bimetallism with unabated
vigor, and we pledge to the cause our alle-
giance and devotion until the gold and silver
coinage of the constitution shall be restored.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
We, the silver republicans of Nebraska,
assembled in our first state convention, de-
clare:
First Our loyalty to the money of the
constitution as declared in that instrument,
and as known, interpreted and understood
by the people of the United States until sil-
ver was demonetized by fraud and corrupt
means, in pursuance of a conspiracy of the
designing money powers in this country
and 'in England.
Second That we are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage by the govern-
ment of the ' United States of both gold
and silver into legal tender money at the
C resent legal ratio of 16 to 1. without wait-
ig for the consent of any other nation; and
we demand that all money, gold, silver and
paper, shall be issued by the government of
the United States, and that such money be
a legal tender in payment of all debts, pub-
lic and private. We denounce the gold
standard republican party for its effort and
purpose to retire the greenbacks and to
confer upon the national banks the sole
power and authority to issue all the paper
money to be used as a circulating medium
among the people.
PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT PARTY.
The people's independent party of Ne-
braska reaffirm the principles of our na-
tional platform adopted at St. Louis. We
stand upon every one of the grand truths
therein enunciated and specifically reiterate
our loyalty to the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1.
We pledge the people that there shall be
no faltering until private corporations are
stripped of the privilege of issuing money
and until all our currency, whether coin or
paper shall be issued by the government
and shall be standard money of the United
States.
We view with alarm the settled policy
of the present national administration to
retire our greenback currency and issue gold
interest-bearing bonds in place thereof, and
ve denounce such a course as a change in
the settled policy of our government and a
betrayal of the interests of the people.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
The platform indorses the Indianapolis
platform and concludes as follows: "We
congratulate the nation upon the rapid de-
cline of the silver vagary and the disposi-
tion now manifest in a number of states-
men of the party which supported the Chi-
cago platform to abandon the untenable po-
sition they took and oppose republicanism
upon democratic rather than populistic
ground. This feeling we welcome as a step
toward a reunion of all democrats without
regard to former differences on the silver
issue. ' '
OHIO.
DEMOCRATS.
The democrats of Ohio, in convention as-
sembled, reaffirm and indorse the declara-
tion of principles contained in the platform
adopted by the democratic party in na-
tional convention at Chicago in 1896, which
platform declares the money question para-
mount to all others at this time, and is as
follows :
We invite attention to the fact that the
constitution names silver and gold together
as the money metals of the United States
and that the first coinage law passed' by
congress under the constitution made the
silver dollar the money unit, and admitted
gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon
the silver dollar unit. We declare that the
act of 1873 demonetizing silver without the
knowledge or approval of the American peo-
ple has resulted in the appreciation of gold
and a corresponding fall in the prices of
commodities produced by the people, a heavy
increase in the burden of taxation and of all
debts, public and private, the enrichment of
the money-lending classes at home and
abroad, the prostration of industry and im-
poverishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to monomet-
allism, which has locked fast the prosperity
of an industrial people in the paralysis of
hard times. Gold monometallism is a Brit-
ish policy and its adoption has brought
Jther nations into financial servitude to

the demonetization of any kind of legal
tender money by private contract.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We reaffirm our adherence to the princi-

the Omaha and St. Louis platforms viz.:
Public ownership of railways and tele-

silver to be coined into money on an equality
with gold and at the legal ratio of 16 to 1.

NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
We, the representatives of the national
democratic party of Ohio, in state conven-
tion assembled, reaffirm allegiance to the
principles of the party as set forth in the
platform adopted at Indianapolis in 1896.
Criticism and attack of that platform have
vindicated its strength and wisdom.
We declare for the maintenance of the

service merit system wherever possible in
the nation and in this state.

equal terms to all, the supply being regu-
lated by the demand and the ability to fur-
nish adequate security."
PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICANS.
"Dollar wheat" has sounded the death
knell of the "free coinage" heresy. In the
late presidential campaign the strongest bid
made for the agricultural vote by the demo-
cratic party was the promise that their suc-
cess in that election would raise the market
price of wheat to $1 a bushel payable in sil-
ver. They were overwhelmingly defeated at
the polls and the farmer now receives for
his wheat $1 a bushel payable in gold. The
dollar he thus receives will buy in the mar-
ket $2.35 werth of silver, as measured by
the coinage value of that metal. We pledge
ourselves anew to the republican doctrine of
sound money and an honest dollar.
DEMOCRATS.
We, the democracy of Pennsylvania, in
convention assembled, heartily reaffirm and
reiterate the principles of the democratic-
party as expressed in the platform adopted
by the national convention at Chicago in
1896 and approved by 6,500,000 free and inde-
pendent voters. We aje firmly and unal-
terably opposed to the single gold standard,
which has been the direct cause of the
financial distress that has followed upon
our people since its adoption, and we are in
favor of a complete and immediate return
to our original specie basis as it existed
prior to the demonetization act of 1873. We
congratulate William J. Bryan, the glorious
champion of a righteous cause, for his mas-
terly leadership In support of these princi-
ples.
VIRGINIA.
DEMOCRATS.
We reaffirm the platform of the demo-
cratic convention adopted at Chicago in
July. 1S96. We especially indorse the doc-
trines of the democratic party upon the four
great issues which are before the people of
this country viz. : The tariff, the income
tax and regulating of trusts and currency.
We denounce the tariff bill recently passed
by the republican congress as dictated by
trusts and monopolies and in the interest
of the classes that live upon the favoritism
of the government and not upon the fair
and just earnings of industry.
We favor an income tax for the support of
the federal government that industry may
be the less burdened and that wealth may
bear its proper share of the general public
burden, and, if necessary, we favor a con-
stitutional amendment tliit such taxes may
be levied. Upon the sublect of the currency
we declare ourselves unalterably opposed to
the British system of monometallism, which
has aggrandized that empire at the ex-
pense of the nations producing food sup-
plies and raw materials, and its adoption
has only aggravated our financial servitude
to London. We demand the free aud unlim-
ited coinage of both gold and silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any nation. We demand the
repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the issues of
state banks, which pays not a dollar into
the treasury of the United States and
which remains upon the statute books as a
monument of arbitrary and perverse legisla-
tion, inspired by monopoly and conceived in
distrust of the people.

COLORADO.
REPUBLICANS.
We are emphatically in favor of the pro-
tection of American labor and American in-
dustries and we exhibit in justification of
our faith the wonderful impetus given to
every department of business life by the
passage of that great republican measure,
the Dingley bill, which will raise revenue
sufficient to support the government, pre-
vent the Issue of interest-bearing bonds,
protect American labor and maintain the
national credit.
IOWA.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We declare the methods resorted to by
the leaders of the republican party in the
late national campaign have justly alarmed
the entire country. Their flagrant acts of
bribery, intimidation, colonization and de-
ception overawed, and were intended to
overawe, the electorate and thus prevent a
free and honest expression of public opinion.
We affirm this to be a direct attack UOOL

war against free institutions. If submitted

to without rebuke the presidential office will
be permanently under the domination of
money and of the corrupt influences which
money controls.
The purpose of the high-handed and crim-
inal methods is evident from the results fol-
lowing their success. The trusts, the com-
bines, the syndicates, the corporations all
united to make the government an agency
for the promotion of their special interests
and welfare. They contributed millions
upon millions to Mark Hanna's campaign
fund, and having triumphed by the corrupt
use of these vast suras they are now about
to recoup themselves from the pockets of
the people. The notorious, almost avowed,
purpose of the tariff bill now under consid-
eration in the senate is to repay the trusts
and the mine, the mill and the factory
barons for their pecuniary aid to McKinley.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
We denounce the Dingley tariff bill soon
to be enacted into law by a republican con-
gress. Under the pretense of increasing rev-
enue it is the old republican policy of pro-
tection to the few at the expense of the
many. It tends to create and foster trusts
and monopolies and we recognize in it the
fulfillment of promised reward to those who
supplied the party treasury. We renew our
allegiance to the historic democratic doc-
trine of a tariff for revenue only.
KENTUCKY.
REPUBLICANS.
We commend the action of the representa-
thes of the republican party In the passage
of a tariff bill which will raise revenue suf-
ficient to support the government, prevent
the issue of interest-bearing bonds, protect
American labor and maintain the national
credit.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLI AXS.
See financial declaration.
DEMOCRATS.
The tariff bill on its report from the con-
ference committee was forced through with-
out opportunity for examination. As a re-
sult of this suppression of the rights of the
people's representatives one section embody-
ing a 10 per cent discriminating duty, which
threatened the business interests of New
England, was passed without the knowledge
of a single member of the Massachusetts
delegation in the house. The clandestine
insertion of this clause shows how tariffs
are made.
MICHIGAN.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
We believe that further legislation to pro-
tect American manufacturers is unnecessary
and vicious. Ihe exports of manufactures
increased from $150,000,000 in 1892 to $250,-
000,000 in 1896, the largest in our history.
And the balance of trade for that year,
$325.000.000 in our favor, is also the highest
yet reached. Owing to the intelligence of
cur workmen and our improved facilities
and natural advantages we can success-
fully compete with any foreign nation in
any market of the world.
We denounce the assumption of certain
republican politicians that at the last elec-
tion the people declared In favor of higher
tariffs as entirely opposed to the truth.
And we charge that further so-called pro-
tective legislation can only result in benefits
of the few at the expense of the many and
will delay a return to stable finance and
consequent prosperity.
The present cost of government in this
country is extravagant and wasteful. And
we believe that the extravagance in ex-
penditure is a legitimate roult of excessive
taxation under the guiso of protection. It
is not increased revenue but decreased ex-
penditures that the times demand.
We denounce protection as the fruitful
parent of populism and declare that each
is alike destructive of that individual and
political integrity upon which our welfare
and happiness depend. We demand a re-
turn to that equitable system of taxation
authorized by the constitution, a tariff for
revenue only.
MARYLAND.
DEMOCRATS.
The democratic party, in the interest of
the whole people, will continue to wage war
against the iniquities of this act and will
insist upon a tariff for revenue sufficient for
the needs of the government, economically
administered, and will always maintain that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation.
Thus, in a time of widespread industrial
depression, when the agricultural classes
are confronted by poverty in its direst form
and when the toilers in the mines and fac-
tories find themselves forced into despair
and suffering, the republican party not only
fails to keep the solemn promises of 1896,
but actually mocks the taxpayers by an ex
travagance of expenditure and profligacy ol
appropriation which that party, even in the
carnival that raged from 1868 to 1876, never
dreamed of rivaling.
NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICANS.
We commend the tariff legislation enacted
In a special session of congress at the in-
stance of President McKinley as the most
effective measure for vitalizing the patriotic
principle of protection to American indus-
tries, through which American manufac-
turers are enabled to compete su r cess, ully
with the imported product of foreign labor.
American workingmen ase afforded an op-
portunity to secure employment at remuner-
ative wages and American farmers secure
the benefit of a market through increased
home consumption.
DEMOCRATS.
We commend the action of the democrats
of the senate and the house in resisting the
efforts of the republicans to pay back to the
trusts and combines through the Dingley
bill their enormous contributions to the re-
publican campaign of last year, and al-
though such resistance was unavailing we
are confident that an experience under the
new law will prove that the producers of
wealth need more money with which to pay
present taxes rather than an increase of
the burdens which they now bear.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
We denounce the present tariff law as be-
ing inspired by and enacted in the interest
of trusts in payment of contributions by
them to the republican campaign fund in
the late presidential election, as placing an
nrtificial price on imports, unnecessary to
the support of the government and uniust,
oppressive and burdensome to the people.

Faithfully wedded to the principle of pro-
tection, we demand for the wool growers of
Ohio such ample protection for wool as

as encouragement of extravagance and in-
fringement of private rights, an unfair tax
on all for the benefit of some of the people

We denounce in the Dingley bill the heav-
ier duties on lumber, wool and hides as in-
creasing the cost of clothing and shelter to
the people.
PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICANS.
The republicans of Pennsylvania ratify
and reaffirm the doctrines enunciated in the
national platform adopted at St. Louis in
1896 and approved by the people at the last
presidential election.
We rejoice with the people of the nation
upon the passage of the Dingley tariff bill.
Its enactment redeems the pledges made by
the republican party to our prostrate manu-
factrring, commercial and business inter-
ests and holds out to them the bright prom-
ise of prosperity and material development,
such as ever attended upon legislation de-
signed for the protection of home industries
and the preservation of home markets. Al-
ready the hum of reviving industry is heard
throughout the land and the business inter-
ests are responding eagerly to the encour-
aging influence of this legislation.
MISCELLANEOUS.
COLORADO.
REPUBLICANS.
We are unalterably opposed to a system
of civil service that builds up an official
class, especially in life tenure, in almost all
branches of the public service, and condemn
a law as un-American which permitted the
Cleveland administration, in the name of
civil-service reform, to displace 40,000 repub-
licans with partisan democrats, and then by
presidential proclamation guaranteeing them
their official position for the remainder of
their lives. We approve the sentiments of
Gen. Washington as expressed to his secre-
tary of war when he declared:
"I shall not, while I have the honor to
administer the government, bring a man
into any office of consequence, knowingly,
whose political tenets are adverse to the
measures which the general government are
pursuing; for this, in my opinion, would be
a sort of political suicide. That it would
embarrass its movements is most certain."
DEMOCRATS.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the great
essential principles of justice and liberty-
freedom of speech, liberty of the press and
the preservation of personal rights; and we
denounce the assumption of authority of
judges to inflict summary and arbitrary pun-
ishment by fine and imprisonment, without
trial by jury, or right of appeal, for alleged
contempt in the use of language, or by acts
not in the presence of the court or in in-
terference with its process, as a crime
against free institutions: and we demand
that the power of the court to punish for
contempt be restricted by proper legislation.
We extend our sympathy to the striking
miners of other states now engaged in the
struggle to secure for their labor a compen-
sation sufficient to procure for them and
their families the necessaries of life; we
condemn the efforts of organized capital to
further reduce wages and fasten upon a
large and worthy class of American citizens
still heavier chains of industrial slavery.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We denounce the federal judiciary in arro-
gating to itself by the illegal use of the
writ of injunction the legislative functions

violation of the constitution of the United
States; it denies the assurance of life, lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness and it is
a menace to our rights under state sov-
ereignty.
KENTUCKY.

We are opposed to a system of civil service
that builds up an official class with practi-
cally a life tenure in almost all branches of

privilege of reappointment or promotion
subject to such restrictions as will secure
competent officials and to every section of
the country its proper proportion of them.
We heartily sympathize with the strug-
gling people of Cuba in their efforts to se-
cure liberty and independence.
DEMOCRATS.
The sympathies of the American people
are always enlisted in behalf of those who
are battling for liberty and independence,
and the heroic struggle of the people of
Cuba is no exception to this rule. The ap-
palling atrocities committed in the war now
being waged on that island merit the exe-
cration of all civilized people, and we de-
mand that the American government, while
observing every treaty obligation, shall take
such proper and effective action as will
ameliorate the atrocities now being com-
mitted and fully protect every American
citizen in his life and property.

preciate our institutions and laws.

We renew the expression of sympathy
with the people of Cuba made in the last

lent to a declaration that not only our do-
mestic finances but our foreign policy also
shall be dictated by the leading commercial
nations of the world.

The republican party has always been the

freedom from Spanish cruelty and oppres-
sion and hope that the day of their deliver-
ance is near at hand. We commend the

ency of the Cuban patriots.
NATIONAL (GOLD) DEMOCRATS.
We condemn the proposed annexation of

country large taxation to sustain strong ar-
mies and navies in distant lands and on dis-
tant seas, and as constituting a menace to

EXTRA SESSION LVTH CONGRESS.
Congress did little in the way of general
legislation further than the passage of the
tariff bill, which is elsewhere discussed in
this volume.
RESOLUTIONS GRANTING RELIEF.
April 7, 1897, the president approved two
joint resolutions. The first provided that
the sum of $200,000 is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the treasury hot other-
wise appropriated, to be expended by and
under the direction of the secretary of war
in the purchase and distribution of subsist-
ence stores to such destitute persons as
may require assistance in the district over-
flowed by ixie Mississippi river and its tribu-
taries and by the Red River of the North,
by the recent floods.
The second provided that the secretary of
the navy be, and he is hereby, authorized
to employ and place at the disposal of the
collector of the port of New York any ship
or vessel belonging to the navy of the
United States best adapted for such service
for the purpose of transporting to the fam-
ishing poor of India such contributions as
may be made for their relief, or to charter
and employ under the authority of the
United States a suitable American steam-
ship or vessel, with a cargo capacity of
2,000 to 4,000 tons, for the same purpose.
Any sum of money which may be necessary
to carry out the object of this resolution is
hereby appropriated out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
SECTARIAN INDIAN SCHOOLS.
The Indian appropriation bill, approved
June 7, 1897, provided in regard to Indian
schools as follows:
"And it is hereby declared to be the set-
tled policy of the government to hereafter
make no appropriation whatever for educa-
tion in any sectarian school: Provided, that
the secretary of the interior may make con-
tracts with contract schools apportioning
as near as may be the amount so contracted
for among schools of various denominations
for the education of Indian pupils during
the fiscal year 1898, but shall only make such
contracts at places where nonsectarian
schools cannot be provided for such Indian
children and to an amount not exceeding
40 per centum of the amount so used for
the fiscal year 1895: Provided, further, thftt
the foregoing shall not apply to public
schools of any state, territory, county, or
city, or to schools herein or hereafter specif-
ically provided for."
WHITE PINE TIMBER SUPPLY.
In response to a resolution of th senate
passed April 14, 1897, the forestry division
of the department of agriculture made a re-
port ao to the consumption and supply of
white pine timber in the United States,
from which the following statements are
taken:
CONSUMPTION.
From the statistics of the cut since 1873,
compiled by the Northwestern Lumberman.
it appears that since that year the stu-
pendous amount of 154 billion feet, B. M.,
and 83 billion shingles, or altogether in
round numbers 165 billion feet of white pine,
lias been '.-ut in the states of Michigan.
Wisconsin and Minnesota; and this total
may be readily increased, by allowing for
cuts in other parts of the country, to over
200 billion feet, B. M., which this single
species has yielded to build up our civiliza-
tion in the last eighteen years an amount

to produce which continuously at least
20,000,000 acres of well-stocked and well-
kept pine forest would be required.
Divided for convenience and comparison
into six-year periods, the cut in the north-
west appears to have been as follows, ac-
cording to the source cited:
MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN AND
MINNESOTA.

Shingles (1.000=100

A total of 165 billion feet, B. M.
From 1873, when the cut was about 4
billion feet, the draft on this resource was
constantly increased until 1892, when it
reached its maximum, nearly 9 billion feet,
B. M., and 4% billion shingles. Then a
gradual decline began to 7.6 billion feet in
1893, 6% billion feet in 1894, rising once
more to over 7 billion in 1895, and reaching
the lowest output in 1896, with 5% billion
feet; shingle production declining similarly
to 1% billion, which, translated into board
measure, raises the requirements for that
year to little less than 7% billion feet.
This decline does not necessarily indicate
any giving out of the supply, but might have
been due, and probably was due, to business
depression generally and to the competition
of other kinds of lumber and shingles.
The total output of white pine in 1890,
before the maximum was reached and when
the cut of the northwest was recorded for
lumber and shingles as a little over 9 billion
feet, was placed by tho competent agent
of the eleventh census in charge of the
statistics of lumber manufacture at 11.3
billion feet of white pine and Norway pine,
or about 25 per cent as coming from other
regions, while hemlock, spruce and fir were
estimated as furnishing 7.9 billion feet, so
that our requirements of these classes of
timber may for ordinary years be placed in
round numbers at 20 billion feet.
In discussing the question of duration of
supplies it can, as stated before, be rea-
sonably done only by considering at the
same time all supplies of a similar nature
namely, of the white pine, Norway pine,
spruce and hemlock at least, which can
be and are used more or less interchange-
ably, and will be still more so in the fu-
ture, to meet our immense requirements
for this class of material. That these re-
quirements are not to remain stationary,
but have a tendency to increase, may be
seen from the development of the wood-pulp
industry.
White in 1881 the daily capacity of wood-
pulp mills was less than 750,000 pounds, it
had more than doubled in 1887, and then
increased steadily, doubling almost every
three or four years, as follows:
Pounds.
1887 1,687,900
1888 2,153.500
1889 3,474, 100
1890 4,012,200
1891 4,497,200
1892 5,136,300
1893 6,495,400
1894 7,231,900
1895 9.027.000
This last figure may be conservatively
estimated to correspond to an annual con-
sumption of probably 800,000,000 feet, B. M.,
of material.
There was imported from 1891 to 1896 wood
pulp to the value of $10,337,659, as follows:
1891 |1,902,689'1895... 984,692
1892 1,820,1431896 1.056,704
1893 2,908,884i
1894 1,664,5471 Total... $10,337,659
SUPPLIES.
While the above figure of 20 billion feet,
B. M., gives a fair idea as to average con-
sumption, which may vary perhaps by 10
per cent one way or the other, we are much
less certain as to supplies standing.
For Minnesota the chief fire warden of
the state has attempted a canvass, the re-
sult of which would indicate nearly 18 bil-
lion feet as standing in the state, including
Norway pine, the estimate having been
made for 1895. This has been criticised by
competent judges* as much too high; never-
theless, adding the estimates of all other
kinds of coniferous wood, some of which as
yet remains unused, it is thought that a
statement in round numbers of 20 billion
feet of coniferous wood in Minnesota fit for
lumbering, though large, would be reason-
ably enough near the truth for our purposes
in forecasting the probabilities.
For Wisconsin official data are entirely
lacking; an estimate of 10 billion as the
maximum stand of white pine and Norway
pine has been made by a competent lum-
berman. As there is considerable hemlock
and other coniferous wood in the state, and
as it is preferable to overstate, we may
treble this amount and take 30 billion feet,
a probable overstatement of 50 per cent, as
the maximum amount of coniferous timber
fit for lumbering standing in the state.
For Michigan a canvass from township
to township has been made by the commis-
sioner of labor of the state for 1896, which
develops an area of 2% million acres in
pine and hemlock. If the average stand per
acre, which the census of 1890 showed as
6,000 feet for white pine, is applied to the
whole area, the amount of timber standing
would be 15 billion feet, which for safety we
may increase by 20 per cent, or, say. 18 bil-
lion feet, of which 6 billion would be white
pine. This, too, is supposed to overstate
the conditions by 50 per cent.
For Pennsylvania the partial returns of
the commissioner of forestry would make
an estimate of 10 billion feet of pine and
hemlock appear highly extravagant. In a
private communication he estimates the
standing timber of white pine at 500 million,
of spruce at 70 million and of hemlock at
5,000 million feet, B. M.
For New York, without much basis. 5
billion may be allowed as an extravagant
figure, with a cut of not less than 500 million
feet; another 3 billion for New Hampshire;
and, with a closer estimate, based on figures
given by the forest commissioner of Maine,
that state may be given at best not to ex-
ceed 10 billion feet of spruce, pine am'
hemlock.
In Maine the white pine is long since re-
duced to a small proportion of the conifer-
ous wood standing. The spruce country is
confined to the elevated northern half of
the state, north of a line from the White
mountains to Mars hill, with a spruce-bear-
ing area of probably less than 6,000 square
miles. The stand on the two main spruce
WHITE PINE TIMBER SUPPLY.

producing drainage basins, the Kennel
and Androgcoggin, has been estimated
Kennebec
ggin, has been estimated at
round 5,000 million feet, B. M., with a pres-
ent cut of round 350' million feet. Partial
statistics of the cut would indicate a total
cut of coniferous woods in Maine of not far
from 500 million feet in 1895 and preceding
years.
In all these estimates of standing timber
the writer of the report has leaned toward
extravagance rather than understatement,
and thus the total is found to add up 100
billion feet of coniferous growth in the
northern states, of which less than half is
pine, to satisfy a cut of at least 18 to 20
billion feet per annum.
The writer of the report does not say
that in less than six years every stick of
pine, spruce and hemlock will be cut, for
such figures as these do not admit of mathe-
matical deductions; but the gravity of the
question of supply is certainly apparent.
Even doubling the estimates it is found
that, with the present rate and method of
cutting, ten years will have exhausted our
virgin timber of these classes. We should
add that much more intimate knowledge
exists now regarding these supplies than
was possible in 1880, when much of the
country was still unopened and unknown.
The southern pines, to be sure, will enter
more largely into competition, as will also
the cypress and other coniferous woods of
the south.
The entire region within which pines occur
In the south in merchantable condition com-
prises about 230,000 square miles, or, in
round numbers, 147 million acres; for land
in farms, 10 million acres must be deducted,
and allowing as much as two-thirds of the
remainder as representing pine lands (the
other to hard woods), we would have about
90 million acres on which pine may occur.
An average growth of 3,000 feet per acre
an extravagant figure when referred to such
an area would make the possible stand
270 billion feet, provided it was in virgin
condition and not largely cut out or culled.
Altogether, the conclusion has been reached
that, adding all other coniferous wood in
the south, an estimate of 300 billion feet
would be extravagant, which, added to the
northern supply of coniferous wood, gives
a total supply of 400 billion feet to draw
from in the eastern United States; and as
the entire cut of these classes of wood
appears now to be not less than 25 billion
feet a year, and probably Is nearer 30 billion,
it may be stated with some degree of cer-
tainty that not fifteen to twenty years'
supply of coniferous timber can be on hand
in the eastern states.
In 1886 the writer of the report ventured a
statement that there were 600 billion feet
of coniferous growth in the eastern states;
the cut was then estimated at 12 billion
feet. If an average cut of 20 billion for
the last ten years be allowed, which is rea-
sonable, the present estimate of 400 billion
standing would lend color to the approxi-
mate correctness of these figures.
If the inquiry is extended to the conifer-
ous growth of the Pacific coast, which in
spite of the distance must finally come to
our aid, only partial comfort will be found.
The present estimate of 1,000 billion feet
standing has been by competent judges de-
clared extravagant. The annual cut on the
Pacific coast approaches certainly 4 billion
feet, hence, adding these figures to those
obtained for the east, with 1,400 billion feet
standing at best, and a cut of at least 30
billion feet per annum, there would appear
to be, under most favorable contingencies,
not more than forty to fifty years of this
most necessary part of our wood supply in
sight if the same lavlshness in the use of
it is continued.
To be sure, there Is some new growth
and reproduction going on. The probability
as to the former is that decay and destruc-
tion by fire offset the accretion on the old
timber of coniferous growth, and no one
familiar with our forest conditions and pres-
ent methods will indulge in a hope that the
reproduction and young growth can ma-
terially change the results. Long before
any new reproduction can have attained log
size we will have got rid of the virgin
supplies.
ECONOMY.
There Is, then, only the possible alterna-
tive of supplying ourselves from other coun-
tries, or of curtailing our cut. In this latter
regard the possibility is large. Not only
can a much closer utilization of the stand-
ing timber be practiced, but a more eco-
nomical use of the same is reasonably to be
expected.
As will appear from the figures given,
this country consumes of coniferous wood
somewhat over 400 feet, B. M., per capita,
while England, which probably has the
lowest per capita consumption of wood
among civilized nations, being almost en-
tirely dependent upon importation, is able
to get along with one-third that amount,
and Germany's consumption remains below
150 feet, B. "M.,_ner capita of all kinds of
sizable wood. The margin within which,
therefore, we can curtail our requirement
is large enough to lengthen out our supplies
considerably.
CANADIAN SUPPLIES.
As to Importations, there Is practically
only one country from which such timber
can be obtained Canada.
The statistician of the department of ag-
riculture of the Dominion of Canada in 1895
estimated the white pine standing at 37.3
billion feet, with an annual cut of nearly
2 billion feet, including spars, masts, shin-
gles, etc., which, as will readily be seen,
cannot materially change the position stated
before namely, that the next decade must
witness the practical exhaustion of t'lld
greatest lumber staple. Even allowing 10
billion feet of merchantable spruce which
may be found in New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, such allowance cannot appreciably
retard this exhaustion, since the total an-
nual cut of Canadian coniferous wood ex-
ceeds 5 billion feet. Fifty per cent may
be readily added to the estimates of stand-
ing timber in eastern Canada, thus assum-
ing 75 billion feet as on hand, and still
Canada's cut alone will exhaust her re-
sources in fifteen years, and this country
will assist her to get rid of it in less time.
So far the importations from Canada, al-
though rapidly increasing, have been insig-
nificant when compared with our home con-
sumption. The importations of all kinds of
forest products and wood manufactures have
been hardly ovrr l per cent of our own
production, and if we confine the inquiry
to coniferous material only the proportion
of the importation of this class of materials
rises to hardly 5 per cent of our home pro-
duction of the same kinds.

To arrive at an idea of the extent to
which we have so far drawn on our neigh-
bors for coniferous supplies, an attempt has
been made in the following table to segre-
gate from the trade and navigation reports
of the Dominion of Canada those items
which have reference to this discussion,
translating into board measure approxi-
mately the returns given in other measures.
These figures are probably somewhat below
the truth, but are sufficiently accurate for
the present purpose, and are, moreover, the
only ones available:

It will be seen that each six-year period
shows an increase and that the exports of
the last three years were only 25 per cent
lower than those of the six preceding years.
The largest imports were recorded for 1894.
wnen nearly iVi billion feet partly manufac-
tured coniferous wood and 300 million feet
of logs of conifers were imported. This lat-
ter importation increased steadily up to
that time, furnishing raw material mainly
to our Michigan mills, whose home supply is
largelv gone.
In the importation of logs it is interesting
to observe that they increased in quantity
without reference to the existence or ab-
sence of the export duty which the Cana-
dian government imposed in 1886 and abol-
ished in 1891 and the price per thousand feet
nlso seems uninfluenced. The necessitv for
these supplies to our mills, especially the
mills of the Saginaw (Mich.) district, be-
gan to assert itself in 1886, the very year
the export duty was imposed to prevent, if
j ossible, these exports of raw material, and
has grown constantly, the decline in 1835
and 1896 simply marking the general busi-
ness depression.
It will be evident from these statements
that our virgin coniferous supplies must
snare the fate which the buffalo has experi-
enced unless a practical application of ra-
tional forestry methods and a more eco-
nomic use of supplies is presently inaugu-
rated. Since coniferous wood represents two-
thirds to three-fourths of our entire lumber
^ood consumption, and its reproduction re
ouires more care and longer time than that
r>t bard woods, the urgency of changing
methods in its use and treatment will be
apparent.

LYMAN J. GAGE.
Lyman Judson Gage of Illinois, secretary
of the treasury, was born in De Kuyter,
Madison county, N. Y., June 28, 1836, but
for the last forty-two yeais be has made
his home in Chicago, and has been promi-
nently identified with many of the institu-
tions and plans that have made for Chi-
cago's greatness.
The business of a banker was Mr. Gage's
first choice as a profession, and when he
was 17 years old he entered the employ o
the Oneida Central bank, serving as office
boy and general utility clerk. For two
years he remained there, and then, at the
age of 19. he started out for the west and
located at Chicago.
His first position there was that of clerk
in a planing mill located at the corner of
Canal and Adams streets, but in 1858 he
returned to the banking business and be-
came bookkeeper of the Merchants' Savings,
Loan and Trust company. His salary et
first was only $500 a year, but his merits
were soon recognized, and In 1861 he was
the cashier of the institution.
When the clearing-bouse was first organ-
ized he acted for a short time as its m n-
iger, and in 1868 left to become the cashier
of the First national bank. Mr. Gage has
been connected with this bank ever s'nce.
At the time of its reorganization in 1881 his
abilities and valuable services were recog-
nized by the directors and he was offered
the position of vice-president. In 1891, when
Samuel M. Nickerson resigned from the
presidency, Mr. Gage was appointed to fill
the position, one which his long experience
in Chicago banks and his natural ab;iities
enabled him to fill with great success, as
subsequent events have shown.
In many other lines of activity, municipal
and social, as well as business. Mr. Gage
has been prominent. At the time of the
World's Fair, when it was neressnry to
select some man upon whose shoulders the
burdens and responsibility's of the g>-eat
exhibition might fall, Mr. Gage was chosen
the first president of the directory.
His intimate knowledge of banks and
banking led to h ! s selection for the presi-
dency of the American Bankers' association
three times. He was also first president of
the Chicago Bankers' club.
When the Citizens' league was organized
in 1885 Mr. Gage was one of its officers, and
during the two terms of his presidency of
the Civic federation his advice and counsel
have always proved of value In advancing
the cause of pure citizenship.
RUSSELL A. ALGER.
Gen. Russell A. Alger of Michigan, sec-
retary of war, was born in Lafayette town-
ship, Medina county, O., on Feb. 27, 1836.
His grandfather served in the revolutionary
war and is claimed to have been a descend-
ant of William the Conqueror.
When he was 11 years of age both his
parents died. For the next seven ywars he
worked on a farm, earning money to defray
his expenses at the Richfield (O.) academy
during the winters. Subsequently he taught
school, and in March, 1857, entered a law
office in Akron. Two years later he was
admitted to the bar. He entered the law
office of Otis & Coffinbury In Cleveland, but
abandoned the practice of law the following
autumn on account of failing health and

engaged in the lumber business.
In 1861 he enlisted in the 2d Michi-
gan cavalry and was made captain of com
pany C. He was wounded in the battle
of Booneville. Miss. Owing to his part in
this engagement he was promoted to the
rank of major. In 1862 he became lieuten-
ant-colonel of the 6th Michigan cavalry, and
in 1863 was made colonel of the 5th Michigan
cavalry, his regiment being in Custer s fa-
mous brigade. In 1864 his health induced
him to retire from the service. He was
brevetted brigadier and major-general "for
gallant and meritorious services," and was
on private service in 1863-64, receiving orders
personally from President Lincoln.
In 1865 he removed to Detroit, where he
has since been engaged extensively in lum-
ber and pine land business. He was a
member of the firm of Moore & Alger, and
became tt-e head of the firm of R. A. Alger
& Co., then the most extensive pine timber
operators in the west. Subsequently the
firm was merged Into that of Alger, Smith
& Co., which owns and operates extensive
trifcts and mills in Michigan and in tJie
Canadian Georgian bay region.
Gen. Alger was elected governor of Mlchl
gan In 1884, receiving a plurality of 3,950
votes over Begole, fuslonist. His adra'nis-
tration of state affairs was considered highly
successful.
In 1888 he was one of the leading candi-
dates for the republican nomination for
president
Gen. Alger served one term as eommander-
In-rb'ef of the G. A. R. He is of excep-
tionally generous and kindly disposition and
is especially beloved by the veterans and by
his friends in Michigan. He has three sons
and three daughters.

tary of the interior, was born in Fall River,
Mass., Jan. 26, 1833; was educated in public-
schools and academy at Fall River and the
high school at New Orleans; after leaving

JAMES A. GARY.
James Albert Gary of Maryland, post-
master-general, was born in Uncasville,
Conn., Oct. 22, 1833. He attended school at
Kockhill institute, Ellicott City, and after-
ward at Allegheny college, Meadville, Pa.,
and in 1861 became a partner in the firm of
James S. Gary & Son, cotton duck manu-
facturers. His energy was quickly made
apparent. An office and warehouse had heen
established in TJaltimore, and in 1862 a
branch house was opened in St. Louis. This
gave the concern a footing in the west
which has since proved highly profitable.
In 1870 Mr. Gary succeeded his father as
head of the firm, and he has conducted its
affairs ever since with marked success. The
large mills in Alberton, Howard county,
thrive under his management and employ
hundreds of people. Mr. Gary owns other
valuable business properties in Baltimore
and Howard counties, and has been re-
peatedly called upon to share in the man-
agement of financial and other business
corporations in Baltimore. He was presi-
dent for several years of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association, and is now
vice-president of the Consolidated Gas com-
pany and vice-president of the Citizens'
national bank. He also holds directorships
in the Savings bank of Baltimore, the Ware-
house company, the American Insurance
company, the Merchants' and Manufactur-
ers' Insurance company and the Baltimore
Trust and Guarantee company.
An ardent unionist during the civil war.
Mr. Gary has been a republican ever since.
In 1870 the republicans nominated him for
congress in the 5th district, which was
democratic at that time, and he was de-
feated. In 1879 the republicans nominated
him for governor. In those days the state
was hopelessly democratic, and Mr. Gary
failed of election, although he made an
active canvass. He has been a delegate to
every national convention of his party since
1872, and from 1880 to 1896 represented Mary-
land upon the republican national commit-
tee. In 1856 Mr. Gary was married to Miss
Lavinia W. Corrie, daughter of James Cor-
rie, and is the father of one son and seven
daughters.
JOSEPH B. McKENNA.
Joseph B. McKenna of California, attor-
ney-general, was born in Philadelphia Aug.
10, 1843. In January, 1855. at the age of
11 years, he removed to Calif omia with his
parents, going by way of the Isthmus of
Panama. The family located at Beuicia.
in Solano county, and young Joseph attended
the public schools.
Later he attended a collegiate institute
at Benicia, studying law under Prof. 'Abbot.
He was graduated from the institute in
1865 and was admitted to practice law be-
fore the supreme court of California.
In the same year he was elected district
attorney of Solano county and went to re-
side at Fairfield, the county seat. He was
re-elected in 1867. At the expiration of his
second term as district attorney he removed
to Suisun, a few miles from Fairfield, and
commenced the practice of law. He was
very successful.
In 1875 Mr. McKenna was elected to the
legislature and served in that body dur-
ing the session of 1875-76. This brief ex-
perience as a lawmaker served as an in
centive to the ambitious young attorney
and in 1876 the republicans of the 3d con-
gressional district nominated him for con-
gress.
The district was strongly democratic and
McKenna was defeated, but he proved his
popularity by reducing the democratic plu-
rality from more than 9,000 to 800. Two
years later he was again nominated, and
was again defeated, this time bv 180 votes.
In 1884, after the state had been re-
districted, Mr. McKenna was again nomi-
nated for congress and elected by a hand-
some majority. He was three times re-
elected, serving through the XLIXth, Lth,
List and Llld congresses.
While serving in the List congress Mr.
McKenna was a member of the ways and
means committee of which Maj. McKinley
was chairman, and in this way came under
the notice of the future president, and a
warm friendship sprang up between them.
On the death of United States Judge
Lorenzo Sawyer in 1890 President Harrison
appointed Mr. McKenna to the circuit bench.
He is regarded as an authority on all mat-
ters relating to land legislation.
JAMES WILSON.
James Wilson of Iowa, secretary of agri-
culture, was born in the parish of Girvan,
Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1840, immigrating to
America with Jais parents when a small
boy. The first *fettlement of the family was
in Connecticut, from which state they re-
moved to Iowa in the '50s, in company with
Gov. Buckingham and other distinguished
people of the former state. For many years
Mr. Wilson was a teacher in the country
schools near Old Buckingham and West
I Union, Iowa, and so poor was he at that
1 time that even in the coldest weather he

was compelled to go barefooted. By strict
economy he accumulated money with which
to purchase a portion of the magniticent
farm of 1,200 acres which he now owns in
Tama county. This place may well be
termed the "garden spot" of Iowa, for there
is probably not another farm In the state
so well improved in all respects. For many
years he was a breeder of fancy cattle, and
in that business he has made a competence.
His home life has been simple, yet his fam-
ily have enjoyed many privileges not ac-
corded the ordinary farmer's family. Two
of his sons, Ward W. and Peter, now man-
age the big farm.
Mr. Wilson was a member of the Xllth.
Xlllth and XIYth general assemblies of
Iowa, has been state railroad commissioner,
president of the state temperance alliance,
and has held many other important public
offices in the state. In 1874 he was elected
to the United States congress from the 5th
Iowa district, and was returned to the house
in 1876 In 1882 he was again a candidate,
defeating Ben T. Fredericks by a ma-
jority of 23 votes. His election was at once
contested, but the matter was not consid-
ered in the house until the last day of the
term in 1885, when he stepped down and al-
lowed Mr. Fredericks to claim the seat,
upon the condition that the house should pass
the bill to place Gen. U. S. Grant upon the
retired list. This bill could not be passed
until the contest was disposed of, which
was done during the last fifteen minutes of
the session.
Mr. Wilson has also been engaged In the
newspaper business, becoming editor of the
Traer (Iowa) Clipper in 1881. his partner in
the business being James Morrison, now of
Washington, D. C. He managed the paper
and farm at the same time, but soon sold
his newspaper business, which had become
very profitable. As a student and scholar
Mr. Wilson ranks among the best in the
middle west. For several years he has been
professor of agriculture in the state school
at Ames, and in connection with his other
duties has edited a farm department for the
newspapers that has been published in all
the counties of the state. Mr. Wilson ad-
heres to the tenets of the presbyterian
church and is prominent in Masonic circles
in the state.
JOHN HAY.
John Hay, ambassador to Great Britain,
was born in Salem. Ind., Oct 8, 1838. His
father was a physician, and his grandfather
was one of the heroes of the revolution.
After graduating at Brown college he went,
at the age of 21, to Springfield, 111., where
he entered the office of Abraham Lincoln
and began to study law. When Lincoln
was made president he selected Col. Hay
as one of his private secretaries. The other
was John G. Mcolay, who later collaborated
with Col. Hay in writing the history of the
martyred president.
After the assassination of President Lin-
coln, Col. Hay, who had seen some service
during the war and had gained the title of
colonel, went to Paris as secretary of the
United States legation, and was later trans-
ferred to Madrid, where he did some of his
best literary work.
In 1872 Col. Hay returned to this country
and accepted an editorial position on the
staff of the New York Tribune. This posi-
tion he retained until the election of Presi-
dent Hayes, who offered him the position
of assistant secretary of state under Sec-
retary Evarts. This agreeable position he
accepted on Nov. 1, 1877, and held until
May, 1881. Soon after, at the request of
Whitelaw Reid, he returned to the New
York Tribune and managed that newspaper
while Mr. Reid went on a wedding tour to
Europe. Although it was a time ot- great
political excitement, the Garfield-Blaine-
Conkling quarrel occurring during that pe-
riod, Col. Hay conducted the Tribune to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
Col. Hay married the daughter of Amasa
Stone, the Ohio millionaire, who on his
death left him a million or more dollars.
He was then living in a beautiful home oc
Euclid avenue, Cleveland. Since then he
has occupied the Washington mansion which
he built.
Col. Hay has won even more repute by
his literary work than by his activity in
politics and diplomacy. His most important
book is the "Life of Lincoln." written in
collaboration with John G. Nicolay, which
was published first as a serial in the Cen-
tury and later in several volumes. It em-
bodies the intimate knowledge of Lincoln
and of his career gained by his private sec-
retaries' personal observation and partici-
pation in a large part of the stirring events
with which it deals, and is regarded as a
contribution to American history of the
first importance. Col. Hay's poems bad pre-
viously gained for him a wide reputation as
a keen humorist and sympathetic observer
of human nature. His "Pike County Bal-
lads," published in 1871; "Jim Bludso" and
"Little Breeches" have become exceedingly
popular. A complete collection of his poems
was published in 1890. His "Castilian
Days," studies of Spanish life and charac-
ter, the fruit of his sojourn in Snain as a
diplomatic officer of the United States, ap-
peared in 1871.
HORACE PORTER.
Horace Porter, ambassador to France,
was born at Huntingdon, Pa., in 1837, the
son of David R. Porter, who soon afterward
became governor of the state. His -early
schooling was in the Harrisburg academy.
After a year in the scientific department of
Harvard university he entered West Point.
His graduation took place in 1860.
After a brief space as instructor in artil-
lery at West Point, he was assigned to duty
in the department of the east. After being
sent to Washington as a bearer of dispatches
he was promoted to be first lieutenant while
under Sherman and Dupont in the expe-
dition against Port Royal. .In 1863 he was
brevetted captain for gallant services at the
capture of Fort Pulaskl, where he had
command of the siege batteries. In May,
1864, he was brevetted mfcjor for his conduct
in the battle of the Wilderness. The next
year found him brevet lieutenant-colonel,
and 1865 brevet brigadier-general of the
United States army. He had been chief of
ordnance of the army of the Potomac under
Gen. McClellan, but after the battje of
Antietam was transferred first to the army
of the Ohio and then to the army of the
Cumberland. While on the staff of Gen.
Thomas at Chattanooga he became ac-
quainted with Gen. Grant. Their intimacy
lasted until Grant's death. Gen. Porter be-
came an aid-de-camp on Grant's staff, and
was with him during most of the rest of
the war. He was one of the few persons
who witnessed the surrender at Ar-,x>mat-
tox.
When Gen. Grant became secretary of
war Gen. Porter became the assistant sec-

retary, and during his chief's service as
president acted as private secretary. Gen.
Porter then went Into business, and has
been exceedingly successful. He has been
connected with numerous important corpo-
rations; became vice-president of Pullman's
Palace Car company, a director of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, the Con-
tinental national bank, the St. Louis &
San Francisco Railway company, the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway
company, the Ontario & Western Railway
company, the Atlantic & Pacific Railway
company, the Hannibal & St. Joe Railway
company and the Oregon Railway & Navi-
gation company. He was also the first pres-
ident of the West Shore road.
Gen. Porter has for several years been
president of the Union League club; he be-
longs to the Century, University, Metro-
politan, Lotos, Players', Authors' and Gro-
lier clubs, to the chamber of commerce, the
Loyal Legion, the American Geographical
society, the Grand Army of the Republic,
and many other organizations. He is presi-
dent of the General National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution and the
Grant Monument association. The comple-
tion of the Grant monument Is largely the
result of his efforts. The project languished
when a start had been made on it until
Gen. Porter made a personal canvass and
set on foot a campaign through which $400,-
000 was raised in two months.
WILLIAM F. DRAPER.
William Franklin Draper, ambassador to
Italy, was born in Lowell, Mass., April 9,
1842. He was educated in the common
schools of Lowell, supplemented by two
years at an academy. At 16 he went to
work in a cotton mill and made a study
of the processes of manufacturing cotton
goods. He enlisted in the 29th Massachusetts
volunteers as a beardless youth of 19 and
served throughout the war for the union, be-
ing promoted successively from the rank of
second lieutenant to that of brigadier-general.
He was a gallant soldier, and bears upon
his person the scars of battle, having been
shot through the body at the battle of the
Wilderness and wounded at Pegram's Farm.
After the war he engaged in the manufac-
ture of cotton machinery, and with his
brothers, who were associated with him.
amassed a fortune. He took much interest
in politics as early as 1876, when b^ was
a delegate to the Cincinnati convention.
He was president of the famous Home Mar-
ket club of Boston in 1890. Although a can-
didate for the gubernatorial nomination in
1888, he never held public office until elected
to the LIHd congress. His work in both
that and the subsequent congress h^s been
valuable. He was chairman of the commit-
tee on patents and a member of the com-
mittee on foreign affairs. In the former po-
sition he pressed successfully through con-
gress the bill to revise the patent laws and
the bill to protect the copyright of theat-
rical and operaticproductioiTs. As a member
of the foreign affairs committee his course
was distinctively conservative. While stal-
wart in his Americanism, he opposed hasty
action which might embroil this country in
foreign complications. For this reason he
opposed the resolution to recognize the bel-
ligerency of the Cuban insurgents during
the first session of this congress, and mide
a speech against it on the floor. Mr. Draper
is a gentleman of commanding presence,
genial, yet dignified in manner, a polished
scholar and a pleasing and forceful speaker.

JAMES B. ANGELL.
James Burrill Angell, minister to Turkey,
was born in Scituate, R. I., in 1829. He
was graduated at Brown university in 1849,
and spent some time thereafter in Europe,
traveling and studying. On his return in
1853 he was appointed professor of modem
languages and literature in Brown univer-
sity. In 1860 he took editorial charee of
the Providence Journal in the absence of

period of the civil war. In 1866 he was ap-
pointed president of the University of Ver-
mont, and in 1871 president of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, where he has since re-
mained, his influence there having raised
that institution to a place among the fore-
most of American universities.

positions of importance. In 1880 President
Hayes appointed him minister to China,
with the special purpose of negotiating a
treaty bearing upon the rapidly growing hos-
tility in this country to Chinese immigra-
tion and the rapidly increasing commercial
relations between the two countries. He
was at the head of the commission intrusted
with this delicate duty, which was prompt^
executed, two treaties being ready for rati-
fication by congress at the close of 18SO.
In 1881 President Angell resigned his office
as minister and returned to his work at
the University of Michigan. In 1887 he ws
appointed by President Cleveland one of the

Britain over the rights of American fisher-
men in the waters of Canada and New-
foundland.

JOHN R. YOUNG.
John Russell Young, librarian of the nett
congressional library, Was born on a farm
near Downington, Pa., in 1841. His parents
went to Philadelphia when he was a child,
and his early education was received in a
grammar school there and was supple-
mented in the high school at New Orleans,
where for some years he was an inmate of
his uncle's house. When 16 years old he was
employed as a copyholder in a Philadelphia
proof-room, and soon became a reporter and
an editorial writer. He served as secretary
to John W. Forney while the latter was sec-
retary of the United States senate, and at
the same time as a war correspondent. In
1872 he became managing editor of the Phil-
adelphia Press. In 1865 he went to New York
in the employ of Jay Cooke & Co. to use his
pen in advertising the government loan.
While there he contributed to the New York
Tribune, of which in 1866 he became man
aging editor. He resigned that position in
January, 1869. He started a daily newspaper
in New York, the Standard, a few months
later, but it was not a success. Afterword
he became an editorial writer for the Herald
and one of its foreign correspondents. He
accompanied Gen. Grant around the world
and wrote a book on the subject. President
Arthur appointed him minister to China, a
position which he resigned in 1885. Later h
became one of the vice-presidents of thp
Reading railroad.

Utterances of tfje $rest&ent.
INATTGTTRAL ADDRESS OF WILLIAM McKINLEY.
Delivered March 4, 1897.
Fellow-Citizens: In obedience to the will
of the people and in their presence, by the
authority vested in me by this oath, I as-
sume the arduous and responsible duties of
president of the United States, relying on
the support of my countrymen and invoking
the guidance of Almighty God. Our faith
teaches that there is no safer reliance than
upon the God of our fathers, who has so sin-
gularly favored the American people in every
national trial and who will not forsake us
so long as we obey His commandments and
walk humbly in His footsteps.
ENDURING BASIS FOR CURRENCY.
The responsibilities of the high trust to
which I have been called always of grave
importance are augmented by the prevailing
business conditions, entailing idleness upon
willing labor and loss to useful enterprises.
The country is suffering from industrial dis-
turbances from which speedy relief must be
had.
Our financial system needs some revision;
our money is all good now, but its value
must not further be threatened. It should
all be put upon an enduring basis, not sub-
ject to easy attack, nor its stability to doubt
or dispute. Our currency should continue
under the supervision of the government.
The several forms of our paper money offer.
In my judgment, a constant embarrassment
to the government and a safe balance in the
treasury. Therefore I believe it necessary
to devise a system which, without diminish-
ing the circulating medium or offering a
premium for its contraction, will present a
remedy for those arrangements which, tem-
porary in their nature, might well in the
vears of our prosperity have been displaced
by wiser provisions.
MORE REVENUE A NECESSITY.
With adequate revenue secured, but not
until then, can we enter upon such changes
in our fiscal laws as will, while insuring
safety and volume to our money, no longer
impose upon the government the necessity of
maintaining so large a gold reserve, with its
attendant and inevitable temptations to
speculation.
Most of our financial laws are the out-
growth of experience and trial, and should
not be amended without investigation and
demonstration of the wisdom of the pro-
posed changes. We must be sure we are
right and "make haste slowly."
If. therefore, congress in its wisdom shall
deem It expedient to create a commission to
take under early consideration the revision
of our coinage, banking and currency laws,
and give them that exhaustive, careful and
dispassionate examination that their im-
portance demands. I- shall cordially concur
in such action. If such power is vested in
the president it is my purpose to appoint a
commission of prominent, well-informed cit-
izens of different parties, who will command
public confidence both on account of their
ability and special fitness for the work.
Business experience and public training
may thus be combined and the patriotic zeal
of the friends of the country be so directed
that such a report will be made as to receive
the support of all parties and our finances
cease to be the subject of mere partisan con-
tention. The experiment Is, at all events.
worth a trial, and, in my opinion, it can but
prove beneficial to the entire country.
INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM.
The question of international bimetallism
will have early and honest attention. It
will be my constant endeavor to secure it by
co-operation with the other great commer-
cial powers of the world. Until that condi-
tion is realized when the parity between
our gold and silver money springs from and
is supported by the relative value of the two
metals, the value of the silver already coined
and of that which may hereafter be coined
must be kept constantly at par with gold by
every resource at our command.
The credit of the government, the Integ-
rity of its currency and the inviolability of
its obligations must be preserved. This was
the commanding verdict of the people, and
it will not be unheeded.
Economy is demanded in every branch of
the government at all times, but especially
in periods like the present depression o/
business and distress among the people.
The severest economy must be observed in
all public expenditures and extravagance
stopped wherever it is found and prevented
wherever in the future it may be developed.
If the revenues are to remain as now, the
only relief that can come must be from de-
creased expenditures. But the present must
not become the permanent condition of the
government. It has been our uniform prac-
tice to retire, not increase, our outstanding
obligations, and this policy must again be
resumed and vigorously enforced. Our rev-
enues should always be large enough to meet
with ease and promptness, not only our cur-
rent needs and *he principal and interest of
the public debt, but to make proper and lib-
eral provision for that most deserving body
of public creditors, the soldiers and sailors
and the widows and orphans who are the
pensioners of the United States.
MORE REVENUE, NOT MORE LOANS.
The government should not be permitted
to run behind or increase its debts in times
like the present. Suitably to provide against
this is the mandate of duty; the certain and
easy remedy for most of our financial diffi-
culties. A deficiency is inevitable so long as
the expenditures of the government exceed
its receipts. It can only be met by loans or
an increased revenue. While a large annual
surplus of revenue may invite waste and ex-
travagance, inadequate revenue creates dis-
trust and undermines public and private
credit. Neither should be encouraged. Be-
tween more loans and more revenue there
ought to be but one opinion. We should
have more revenue, and that without delay,
hindrance or postponement. A surplus in
the treasury created by loan is not a per-
manent or safe reliance. It will suffice
while it lasts, but it cannot last long while
the outlays of the government are greater
than its receipts, as has been the case dur-
ing the last two years. Nor mr.st it be for-
gotten that, however much such loans may
temporarily relieve the situation, the gov-
ernment is still indebted for the amount of
the surplus thus accrued, which it must ul-
timately pay, while its ability to pay is not
strengthened but weakened by a continued
deficit. Loans are imperative in great emer-
gencies to preserve the government or its
212
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOU 1SC8,
credit, but a failure to supply needed reve-
nue in time of peace for the maintenance of
either has no justification.
The best way for the government to main-
tain its credit is to pay as it goes not by
resorting to loans, but by keeping out of
debt through an adequate income secured
by a system of taxation, external or inter-
nal, or both. It is the settled policy of the
government, pursued from the beginning
and practiced l>y all parties and administra-
tions, to raise rae bulk of our revenues from
taxes upon foreign productions entering the
United States for sale and consumption
and avoiding for the most part ov-cy form
of direct taxation, except in time of war.
The country is clearly opposed to any need-
less additions to the subjects of internal tax-
ation and is committed by its latest popular
utterance to the system of tariff taxation.
TAEIFF TAXATION.
There can be no misunderstanding, either,
about the principle upon which this tariff
taxation shall be levied. Nothing -has ever
been made plainer at a general election than
that the controlling principle in the raising
of revenue on imports is zealous care for
American interests and American labor.
The people have declared that such legisla-
tion should be had as will give ample pro-
tection and encouragement to the industries
and the development of our country. It is.
therefore, earnestly hoped and expected that
congress will, at the earliest practicable mo-
ment, enact revenue legislation that shall be
fair, reasonable, conservative and just, and
which, while supplying sufficient revenue for
public purposes, will still be signally bene-
ficial and helpful to every section and every
enterprise of the people.
To this policy we are all, of whatever
party, firmly bound by the voice of the peo-
plea power vastly more potential than the
expression of any political platform. The
paramount c!uty of congress is to stop defi-
ciencies by the restoration of that protective
legislation which has always been the firm-
est prop of the treasury. The passage of such
a law or laws would strengthen the credit
of the government b6th at home and abroad
and go far toward stopping the drain upon
the gold reserve held for the redemption of
our currency, which has been heavy and well-
nigh constant for several years.
NEW MARKETS BY RECIPROCITY.
In the revision of the tariff special atten-
tion should be given to the re-enactment and
extension of the reciprocity principle of the
law of 1890, under which so great a stimulus
\\as given to our foreign trade in new and
advantageous markets for our surplus agri-
cultural and manufactured products. The
brief trial given this legislation amply justi-
fies a further experiment and additional dis-
cretionary power in the making of commer-
cial treaties, the end in view always to be
the opening up of new markets for the prod-
ucts of our country by granting concessions
to the products of other lands that we need
and cannot produce ourselves, and which
do not involve any loss of labor to our own
people, but tend to increase their employ-
ment.
The depression of the last four years has
fallen with especial severity upon the great
body of the country, and upon none more
than the holders of small farms. Agricul-
ture has languished and labor suffered. The
revival of manufacturing will be a relief to
both. No portion of our population is more
devoted to the institutions of free govern-
ment nor more loyal in their support, while
none bears more cheerfully or fully its
proper share of maintenance of the gov-
ernment or is better entitled to its wise and
liberal care and protection.
Legislation helpful to the producer is ben-
eficial to all. The depressed condition of in-
dustry on the farm and in the mine and fac-
tory has lessened the ability of the people
to meet the demands upon them, and they
rightfully expect that not only a system of
revenue shall be established that will secure
the largest income with the least burden,
but that every means will be taken to de-
crease rather than increase our public ex-
penditures. Business conditions are not the
most promising.
RESTORATION OF PROSPERITY.
It will take time to restore the prosperity
of former years. If we cannot promptly at-
tain it we can resolutely turn our faces in
that direction and aid its return by friendly
legislation. However troublesome the situ-
ation may appear, congress will not, I am
sure, be found lacking in disposition or
ability to relieve it, so far as legislation can
do so. The restoration of confidence and
the revival of business, which men of all
parties so much desire, depend more largely
upon the prompt, energetic and intelligent
action of congress than upon any other
single agency affecting the situation.
It is inspiring, tco, to remember that no
great emergency in the 108 years of our
eventful national life has ever risen that
has not been met with wisdom and courage
l-y the American people, with fidelity to
their best interests and highest destiny and
to the honor of the American name. These
years of glorious history have exalted man-
kind and advanced the cause of freedom
throughout the world and immeasurably
strengthened the precious free institutions
which we enjoy. The people love and will
sustain these institutions.
The great essential to our happiness and
prosperity is that we adhere to the princi-
ples upon which the government w;is estab-
lished and insist upon their faithful ob-
servance. Equality of rights must prevail
and our laws be always and everywhere re-
spected and obeyed. V.'e may have failed
in the discharge of our full duty as citizens
of the great republic, but it is consoling and
encouraging to realize that free speech, a
free press, free thought, free schools, the
free and unmolested right of religious lib-
erty and worship and free and fair elections
are dearer and more universally enjoyed to-
day than ever before.
These guaranties must be sacredly pre-
served and wisely strengthened. The consti-
tuted authorities must be cheerfully and
v : goiously upheld. Lynchings must not be
tolerated In a great and civilized country
like the United States: courts not mobs-
must execute the penalties of the law.
The preservation of public order, the right
of discussion, the integrity of courts and the
orderly administration of justice must con-
tinue forever the rock of safety upon which
our government securely rests.
NO IMMUNITY FOR LAW-BREAKERS.
One of the lessons taueht by the late elec-
tion which all can rejoice in is that the
citizens of the United States are both law-
respecting and law-abiding people, not
easily swerved from the path of patriotism
and honor. This is in entire accord with the
genius of our institutions and hut empha-
sizes the advantages of inculcating even a
greater love for law and order in the future.
Immunity should be granted to none who
violates the laws, whether individuals, cor-
UTTERANCES OF THE PRESIDENT
213
porationa or communities; and as the con-
stitution imposes upon the president the
duty of both its own execution and of the
statutes enacted in pursuance of its pro-
visions, I shall endeavor .carefully to carry
them into effect.
The declaration of the party now restored
to power has been in the past that of "op-
position to all combinations of capital or-
ganized in trusts or otherwise to control ar-
bitrarily the condition of trade among our
citizens," and it has supported "such legis-
lation as will prevent the execution of all
schemes to oppress the people by undue
charges on their supplies or by unjust ratPH
for the transportation of their products to
market." This purpose will be steadily pur-
sued, both by the enforcement of the laws
now in existence and the recommendation
and support of such statutes as may be
necessary to carry it into effect.
NATURALIZATION AND IMMIGRATION.
Our naturalization and Immigration laws
should be further improved, to the constant
promotion of a safer, a better and a higher
citizenship. A giave peril to the republic
would be a citizenship too ignorant to under-
stand or too vicious to appreciate the great
value and benefit of our constitutions and
laws and against all who come here to
make war upon them our gates must be
promptly and tightly closed. Nor must we
be unmindful of the need of improvement
among our citizens, but with the zeal of our
forefathers encourage the spread of knowl-
edge and free education. Illiteracy must be
banished from the land if we shall attain
that high destiny as the foremost, of the
enlightened nations of the world which,
under Providence, we ought to achieve.
CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM.
Reforms in the civil service must go on,
but the change must be real and genuine,
net perfunctory or prompted by a zeal in
behalf of any party simply because it hap-
pens to be in power.
As a member of cougress I voted and
spoke in favor of the present law, and I
shall attempt its enforcement in the spirit
in which it was enacted. The purpose in
view was to secure the most efficient serv-
ice of the best men who would accept ap-
pointment under the government, retaining
faithful and devoted public servants in of-
fice, but shielding none under the authority
of any rule or custom who is Inefficient, in-
competent or unworthy.
The best interests of the country demand
this, and the people heartily approve the
law wherever and whenever it has been thus
administered.
MERCHANT MARINE AND NAVY.
Congress should give prompt attention to
the restoration of our American merchant
marine, once the pride of the seas in all the
great ocean highways of commerce. To my
mind few more important subjects so im-
peratively demand its intelligent considera-
tion. The United States has progressed
with marvelous rapidity in every field of
enterprise and endeavor, until we have be-
come foremost in nearly all the great lines
of inland trade, commerce and industry.
Yet, while this is true, our American mer-
chant marine has been steadily declining
until it is now lower, both in the percentage
of 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 of the American
navy, but we inrfst supplement these efforts
by providing as a proper consort for it a
merchant marine amply sufficient for our
carrying trade to foreign countries. The
question Is cne that appeals both to our
business necessities and the patriotic aspira-
tions of a great people.
THE FOREIGN POLICY.
It has been the policy of the United States
since the foundation of the government to
cultivate relations of peace and amity with
all the nations of the world, and this ac-
cords with my conception of our duty now.
We have cherished the policy of non-inter-
ference with the affairs of foreign govern-
ments, wisely inauguarated by Washington,
keeping 0111 selves tree from entanglements
either as allies or foes, content to leave un-
disturbed with them the settlement of their
own domestic concerns. It will be our aim
to pursue a firm and dignified foreign pol-
icy, which shall be just, impartial, ever
watchful of our national honor, and always
insisting upon the enforcement of the lawful
rights of American citizens everywhere.
Our diplomacy should seek nothing more,
and accept nothing less, than is due us. We
want no wars of conquest; we must avoid
the temptation of territorial aggression.
War should never be entered upon until
every agency of peace has failed; peace is
preferable to war in almost every con-
tingency.
THE PRINCIPLE OF ARBITRATION
Arbitration is the true method of settle-
ment of international as well as local or in-
dividual diftereiices. It was recognized as
the best means of adjustment of differences
between employers and employes by the
XLIXth congress in 1886, and its applica-
tion was extended to our diplomatic rela-
tions by toe unanimous concurrence of thf
senate and house of the List congress ir
1890. The latter resolution was accepted
as the basis of negotiations with us by thf-
British house of commons in 1893, and upon
our invitation a treaty of arbitration DC-
tween the United Slates and Great Britain
was signed at Washington and transmitted
to the senate for its ratification in January
last.
Since this treaty is clearly the result of
our own initiative, since it has been recog-
nized as the leading feature of our foreign
policy throughout our entire national his-
tory the adjustment of difficulties by Judi-
cial methods rather than by force of arms
and since it presents to the world the glori-
ous example of reason and peace, not pas
sion and war. controlling the relations be
tween two or the greatest nations of thf
world, an example certain to be followed by
others, I respectfully urge the early actior,
of the senate thereon, not merely as a mat-
ter of policy, but as a duty to mankind.
The importance and moral Influence of the
ratification of such a treaty can hardly be
overestimated in the cause of advancing civ-
ilization. It may well engage the best
thought of the statesmen and people of
every country, and I can but consider it for-
tunate that it was reserved to the United
States to have the leadership in so grand a
work.
NECESSITY OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
It has been the uniform practice of each
president to avoid, so far as possible, the
convening of congress in extraordinary ses-
sion. It is an example which, under ordi-
nary circumstances and in the absence of a
public necessity, is to be commended. But
a failure to convene the representatives of
the people in congress in extra session when
214
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
it involves neglect of public duty places the
responsibility of such neglect upon the ex-
ecutive himself.
The condition of the public treasury, as
has been indicated, demands the immediate
consideration of congress. It alone has the
power to provide revenues for the govern-
ment. Not to convene it under such circum-
stances I can view in no other sense than
the neglect of a plain duty.
I do not sympathize with the sentiment
that congress in session is dangerous to out-
general business interests. Its members are
the agents of the people, and their presence
at "the seat of government in the execution of
the sovereign will should not operate as an
injury, but a benefit.
There could be no better time to put the
government upon a sound financial and eco-
nomic basis than now. The people have only
recently voted that this should oe done, and
nothing is more binding upon the agents of
their will than the obligation of immediate
action.
It has always seemed to me that the post-
ponement of the meeting of congress until
more than a year after it has been chosen
deprives congress too often of the inspira-
tion of the popular will and the country
of the corresponding benefits. It is evident,
therefore, that to postpone action in the
presence of so great a necessity would be
unwise on the part of the executive, because
unjust to the interests of the people.
Our actions now will be freer from mere
partisan consideration than if the question
of tariff revision were postponed until the
regular session of congress. We are nearly
two years from a congressional election,
and politics cannot so greatly distract us
as if such a contest were immediately pend-
ing. We can approach the problem calmly
and patriotically without fearing its effect
upon an early election.
Our fellow-citizens who may disagree with
us upon the character of this legislation
prefer to have the question settled now.
even against their preconceived views and
perhaps settled so reasonably, as I trust
and believe it will be, as to insure great
permanence than to have further uncer-
tainty menacing the vast and varied busi-
ness interests of the United States. Again,
whatever action congress may take will be
given a fair opportunity for trial before the
people are called to pass judgment upon it,
and this I consider a great essential to the
rightful and lasting settlement of the ques-
tion.
In view of these considerations I shall
deem it my duty as president to convene
congress in extraordinary session on Mon
day, March 15, 1897.
SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE.
In conclusion, I congratulate the country
upon the fraternal spirit of the people and
the manifestation of good will everywhere
so apparent. The recent election not only
most fortunately demonstrated the oblitera-
tion of sectional or geographical lines, but
to some extent also the prejudices which
for years have distracted our councils and
marred our true greatness as a nation.
The triumph or the people, whose verdict
is carried into effect to-day, is not the tri-
umph of one section, nor wholly of one
party, but of all sections and all the people.
The north and south no longer divide on
the old lines, but upon principles and pol
icies, and in this fact surely every lover of
the country can find cause for true felicita-
tion. Let us rejoice in and cultivate this
spirit; it is ennobling, and will be both a
gain and a blessing to our beloved country.
It will be my constant aim to do nothing
and permit nothing to be done that will
arrest or disturb the growing sentiment of
unity and co-operation, this revival of es-
teem and affiliation which now animates so
many thousands in both the old and the an
tagonistic sections, but I shall certainly do
everything possible to promote and increase
Let me again repeat the words of the
oath administered by the chief justice,
which, in their respective spheres, so far as
applicable, I would have all my countrymen
observe :
"I will faithfully execute the office of
president of the Lnited States, and will,
to the best of my ability, preserve, protect
and defend the constitution of the United
States."
This is the obligation I have reverently
taken before the Lord most high. To keep
it will be my single purpose, my constant
prayer, and I shall confidently rely upon the
forbearance and assistance ol all the people
in the discharge of my solemn responsibili-
ties.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT,
To tne extra session of the LVth congress, convening March 15, 1897:
To the Congress of the United States: Re-
gretting the necessity which has required
me to call you together I feel that your
assembling in extraordinary session is in-
dispensable, because of the condition in
which we find the revenues of the govern-
ment. It is conceded that its current ex-
penditures are greater than its receipts,
and that such a condition has existed for
more than three years. With unlimited
means at our command we are presenting
the remarkable spectacle of increasing our
public debt by borrowing money to meet
the ordinary outlays incident upon even an
economical and prudent administration of
the government. An examination of the
subject discloses this fact in every detail,
and leads inevitably to the conclusion that
the condition of the revenue which allows
it is unjustifiable and should be corrected.
Since 1893 the receipts of no fiscal year,
and with but few exceptions of no month
of a fiscal year, have exceeded the expendi-
tures. The receipts of the government frc^a
all sources during the year ended June b'o.
1894, were $372,802,498.29, and its expendi-
tures $442,605,758.87. leaving a deficit, the
first since the resumption of specie pay-
ments, of $69,803,260.58. Notwithstanding
there was a decrease 6f $16,769,128.78 in the
ordinary expenses of the government, as
compared with the previous fiscal year, its
income was still not sufficient to provide for
its daily necessities, and the. gold reserve
in the treasury for the redemption of green-
backs was drawn upon to meet them. But
this did not suffice, and the government then
resorted to loans to replenish the reserve.
UTTERANCES OF THE PRESIDENT.

The receipts of the government for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1895, were $390,373,203.30,
and the expenditures $433,178,426.48, show-
ing a deficit of $42,805,223.19. A further loan
of $100,000,000 was negotiated by the gov-
ernment in February. 1896, the sale netting
$111,166,246, and swelling the aggregate of
bonds issued within three years to $262,315,-
400. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1896,
the revenues of the government from all
sources amounted to $409,475,408.78, while its
expenditures were $434,678,654.48, or an ex-
cess of expeditures over receipts of $25.-
203,245 70. In other words, the total receipts
for the three fiscal years ended June 30, 1896,
were Insufficient by $137,811,729.46 to meet
the total expenditures.
Nor has this condition improved. Not only
are we without a surplus in the treasury,
but with an increase in the public debt
there has been a corresponding increase in
the annual interest charge from $22,893,883,-
20 in 1892, the lowest of any year since 1862,
to $34,387,297.60 in 1896. or an increase of
$11,493,414.40. It may be urged that, even
if the revenues of the government had been
sufficient to meet all its ordinary expenses
during the last three years, tlie gold reserve
would still have been insufficient to meet
the demands upon it, and that bonds would
necessarily have been issued for its reple-
tion. Be this as it may, it is clearly mani-
fest, without denying or affirming the cor-
rectness of such a conclusion, that the debt
would have been decreased in at least the
amount of the deficiency, and business con-
fidence immeasurably strengthened through-
out the country. Congress should promptly
correct the existing condition. Ample reve-
nues must be supplied, not only for the ordi-
nary expenses of the government, but for
the prompt payment of liberal pensions and
the liquidation of the principal and inter-
est of the public debt. In raising revenue
duties should be so levied upon foreign
products as to preserve the home market,
so far as possible, to our own producers;
to revive and increase manufactures; to re-
lieve and encourage argriculture; to increase
our domestic and foreign commerce; to aid
and develop mining and building, and to
render to laoor in every field of useful occu-
pation the liberal wages and adequate re-
ward to which skill and industry are justly
entitled. The necessity of the passage ot
a tariff law which shall provide ample
revenue need not be further urged. The
imperative demand of the hour is the prompt
enactment of such a measure, and' to this
object I earnestly recommend that congress
shall make every endeavor. Before other
business is transacted let us first provide suf-
ficient revenue to faithfully administer the
government without the contracting of
further debt or the continued disturbance of
orr finances.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
Regarding a Currency Commission, as Advised by the Indianapolis Conference, Sent to
Congress July 24, 1897.
To the Congress of the United States: In
my message convening the congress in ex-
traordinary session I call attention to a single
subject that of providing revenue adequate
to meet the reasonable and proper expenses
of the government. I believed that to be the
most pressing subject for settlement then.
A bill to provide tne necessary revenues for
the government has already passed the
house of representatives and the senate and
awaits executive action. Another question
of very great importance is that of the es-
tablishment of our currency and banking
system on a better basis, which I com-
mented upon in my inaugural address in the
following words:
"Our financial system needs some revision;
our money is all good, but its value must not
further be threatened. It should all be put
upon an enduring basis, not subject to easy
attack, nor its stability to doubt or dispute.
The several forms of our paper money offer,
in my judgment, a constant embarrassment
to the government and imperil a safe bal-
ance in the treasury."
Nothing was settled more clearly at the
late national election than the determina-
tion upon the part of the people to keep
{heir currency stable in value and equal to
that of the most advanced nations of the
world. The soundness of our currency is
nowhere questioned. No loss can occur to its
holders. It is the system which should be
simplified and strengthened, keeping our
money just as good as it is now, with less
expense to the government and the people.
The sentiment of the country is strongly
in favor of early action by congress in this
direction, to revise our currency laws and
remove them from partisan contention. A
notable assembly of business men, with
delegates from twenty-nine states and ter-
ritories, was held at Indianapolis in January
of this year. The financial situation com-
manded their earnest attention, and after a
two days' session the convention recom-
mended to congress the appointment of, a
monetary commission.
I commend this report to the consideration
of congress. The authors of the report
recommend a commission "to make a thor-
ough investigation of the monetary affairs
and needs of this country in all relations
and aspects, and to make proper suggestions
as to any evils found to exist and the reme-
dies therefor. This subject should receive
the attention of congress at the special ses-
sion. It ought not to be postponed until the
regular session.
I. therefore, urgently recommend that a
special commission be created, nonpartisan
in its character, to be composed of well-in-
formed citizens of different parties who will
command the confidence of congress and the
country, because of their special fitness for
the work, whose duty it shall be te make
recommendations of whatever changes in our
?iresent banking and currency laws may be
ound necessary and expedient, and to re-
port their conclusions before Nov. 1, next, in
order that the same may be transmitted by
me to congress for its consideration at its
first regular session.
It is to be hoped that the report thus made
will be as comprehensive and sound as to
receive the support of all parties and the
favorable action of congress. At all events,
such a report cannot fail to be of value to
the executive branch of the government, as
well as to those charged with public legis-
lation, and to greatly assist in tbe establish-
ment of an improved system of finance.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1898.
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
(To the first regular session of
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives: It gives me pleasure to extend greet-
ing to the LVth congress assembled at the
seat of government, with many of whom,
senators and representatives, I have been
associated in the legislative service. Their
meeting occurs under felicitous conditions,
justifying sincere congratulation and cail.ng
for our grateful acknowledgment to a benen-
cent Proviaeuce wh.ch has so signally blessed
and prospered us as a nation.
I'eace and good will with all the nations
of the earth continue unbroken. A matter
of genuine satisfaction is the growing feel-
ing of fraternal regard and unification of
all sections of our country, the incomplete-
ness of which has too long delayed realiza-
tion of the highest blessings of the union.
The spirit of patriotism is "universal and is
ever increasing in fervor.
The public questions which now most en-
gross us are lifted far above either partisan-
ship, prejudice or former sectional differ-
ences. They affect every part of our com-
mon country alike and permit of no division
on ancient lines. Questions of foreign pol-
icy, of revenue, the soundness of the cur-
rency, the inviolability of national obliga-
tions, the improvement of the public serv-
ice, appeal to the individual conscience of
every earnest c tizen to whatever party he
belongs or in whatever section of the coun-
try he may reside.
The extra session of this congress which
closed during July last enacted important
legislation, and while its full effect has not
yet been realized, what it has already ac-
complished assures us of its timeliness and
wisdom. To test its permanent value fur-
ther time will be required, and the people,
satisfied with its operation and results thus
far, are in no mind to withhold from It a
fair trial.
THE CURRENCY.
Tariff legislation having been settled by
the extra session of congress the question
next pressing for consideration is that of
the currency. The work of putting our
finances upon a sound basis, difficult as it
may seem, will appear easier when we recall
the financial operations of the government
since 1866. On the 30th day of June of that
year we had outstanding demand liabilities
to the sum of $728,868,447.41. On the 1st of
January, 1879, these liabilities had been re.
duced to $443.889,495.88. Of our interest-
bearing obligations the figures are even more
striking.
July 1, 1866, the principal of the Interest-
bearing debt of the government was $2,332,-
331,208. On the 1st day of July, 1893, this
sum had been reduced to $585,037,100, an ag-
gregate reduction of $1,747,294,108. The in-
terest-bearing debt of the United States on
the 1st day of December, 1897, was $847,-
365,620. The government money now out-
standing (Dec. 1) consists of $346,681,016 of
United States notes, $107,793,280 of treasury
notes issued by authority of the law of 1890,
$384,963.503 of silver certificates and 61,280,761
standard silver dollars.
With the great resources of the govern-
ment and with the honorable example of the
past before us, we ought not to hesitate to
enter upon a currency revision which w'll
make our demand obligations less onerous
to the government and relieve our financial
laws from ambiguity and doubt.
the LVtb Congress, Dec. 6, 1897.)
The brief review of what was accom-
pl.sbed from the close ot the war to lo;>3
makes unreasonable and groundless any dis-
trust either of our financial ability or sound-
ness, while the situation from 1893 to ls7
must admonish congress of the immediate
necessity of so legislating as to make the re-
turn of the conditions then prevailing im-
possible.
There are many plans proposed as a rem-
edy for the evil. Before we can find the
true remedy we must appreciate the real
evil. It is not that our currency of every
kind is not good, for every dollar of it is
good; good because the government's pledge
is out to keep it so. and that pledge wJl not
be broken. However, the guaranty of our
purpose to keep the pledge will be best
shosvn by advancing toward its fulfillment.
The evil of the present system is found in
the great cost to the government of main-
taining the parity of our different forms of
money that is, keeping all of them at par
with gold. We surely cannot be longer
heedless of the burden this imposes upon
the people, even under fairly prosperous con-
ditions, wh.le the last four years have dem-
onstrated that it is not only an expensive
charge upon the government but a danger-
ous menace to the national credit.
It is manifest that we must devise some
plan to protect the government against bond
issues for repeated redemptions. We must
either curtail the opportunity for specula-
tion, made easy by the mult plied redemp-
tions of our demand obligations, or increase
the gold reserve for their redemption.
We have $900,000,000 of currency which the
government by solemn enactment has under-
taken to keep at par with gold. Nobody is
obliged to redeem in gold hut the govern-
ment. The banks are not required to re-
deem in gold. The government is obliged to
keep equal with gold all its outstanding cur-
rency and coin obligations, while its receipts
are not required to be paid In goid. They
are paid in every kind of money but gold,
and the only means by which the govern-
ment can with certainty get gold is by bor-
row ng. It can get it In no other way when
it most needs it.
The government, without any gold rev-
enue, is pledged to maintain gold redemp-
tion, which it has steadily and faithful;?
done, and which under the authority now
given it will continue to do.
The law which requires the government,
after having redeemed its United States
notes, to pay them out again as current
funds, demands a constant replenishment of
the gold reserve. Tbis is especially so in
times of business panic and when the rev-
enues are insufficient to meet the expenses
of the government.
At such times the government has no other
way to supply its deficit and maintain re-
demption but through the increase of its
bonded debt, as during the administration
of my predecessor, when .$262,315,400 of 4V 2
per cent bonds were issued and sold and the
proceeds used to pay the expenses of the
government in excess of the revenues and
sustain the gold reserve. While it is true
that the greater part of the proceeds ol
these bonds were used to supply deficient
revenues, a considerable portion was re-
quired to maintain the gold reserve.
With our revenues equal to our expenses
there would be no deficit requiring the issu-
ance of bonds. But if the gold reserve falls

below $100,000,000 how will it be replenished
except by selling more bonus? Is there any
other way practicable under existing law?
The serious question then is: Shall we
continue the policy that has been pursued in
the past that is, when the gold reserve
reaches the point of danger, issue more
bonds and supply the needed gold or shall
\ve provide other means to prevent the re-
rurring drains upon the gold reserve?
If no further legislation is bad and tbje
.lolicy of selling bonds is to be continued
;hen congress should give the secretary of
he treasury authority to sell bonds at long
r short periods, bearing a less rate of in-
erest than is now authorized by law.
REDEMPTION OF GREENBACKS.
I earnestly recommend, as soon as the re-
ceipts of the goveinment are quite sufficient
o pay all the expenses
