Tho trade of the United States with Australia, which is in a considerable part carried by these steam-ers, and tho whole of which is practically dependent upon the mail communication which they maintain largely in our favor. Our total exports of merchandise to Australian ports during the liscal vear ending Juno HO, 100, were ll,Sfili,481, while tho total imports of merchandise from these ports were only l. 277, 070. If wo are not willing to sue this importance to ship lino withdrawn or continued with Vancouver substituted for San Fran-cisco, as the American terminal, con-gress shoulil put it in tho power of tho postmaster-genera- l to make a liberal increase in the amount now paid for the transportation of this important mail. balanco in our favor of ?08,000,000. The bank clearings, which furnish a good list of the volume of business transacted for the first ten months of the year 1W0, stood .is compared with the same months of 1880, an increase lor the whole country of about 8 per cent while the increase outside the city of New York, was over 13 per cent. During the month of October the clear-ings of the whole country showed an increaso of 3.1 per cent over October 180, whilo outside of New York tl.e in-crease was 1H pur cent. These ligurcs show that the increase in volume of business was very general throughout the country. That this larger business was being conducted upou a safo and profitable basis is shown by tho fact that there were 800 less failures re ported in October lHK'.lthan in tho same month of tho preceding year, with liabilities diminished by about $5,000,-000- . Tho value of our exports of domestic merchandise" during the last year was over $115,000,000 greater than the pro-- I ' ceding yer.r, ami was only exceeded once in our history. About $100,000,000 of this excess was in agricultural pro-duet- The production of pig iron, always a good gauge of the general prosperity, is shown by a recent census bulletin to have been '153 per cent greater in 1800 than in 1880, and the production of steel 2U0 per cent greater. Mining in coal has had no limitation, except that resulting from inefficient transportation. . The geueral testimony is that labor is everywhere fully em-ployed, and the reports for the last year show a smaller number of employes affected by strikes and lockouts than in any year since 1884. Ill Iteg-ar- to Reciprocity. I do not doubt that u very largely in-creased foreigu trade is accessible to us without bartering for cither our home market for such products of tho farm and shop as our own people can supply, or the wages of our working people. In many of the products of wood and iron, and in meats ami breadstuff's, we have advantages that onlv need better facil-ities of intercourse and transportation to secure for them large foreign inter-ests. The reciprocity clause of the tarilT act wisely ami in effect opens the way to secure a large reciprocal trade in exchange for the free adoption to our points certain products. The right of independent nations to make special reciprocal trade concussions is well es-tablished and does not impair either. The comity due to other powers or what is known as the "favored nation clause," so generally found in commer-cial treaties, that what is given to one for an adequate agreed consideration cannot be claimed by another freely. The state of tho revenue was such that we could dispose with any import duties upon coffee, tea. hides and the lower grades of sugar and molasses. That the largo advantage resulting to the countries producing and exporting these articles by placing them on tho The General Appropriation 11IIU. The preparation of the general ap-propriation bills should be conducted with the greatest care and closest scru-tiny of expenditure. Appropriations should be adequate to the needs of the service, but they should be fuiblic free from prodigality. I venture again to remind you that the brief time remaining for tho con-sideration of the important legislation now awaiting yout attention, offers no margin for waste. If the present duty Is discharged with diligence, fidelity and courage, the work of the Fifty-firs- t congress may be confidently submitted to the considerate judgment of the peo-ple. (Signed) Benjamin Harrison. Executive Mansion; Dec. 1, 1800. Piutal Telegraph. The use of the telegraph by the post-offic- e department as a means for tho rapid transmission of written commu-nication is, I believe, upon proper terms quite desirable. The govern-ment does not own or operate the rail-roads and it should not, I think, own or operate the telegraph lines. It does however, seem to bo quite practicable for tho government to contract with the telegraph company as it does with the railroads to carry at specified rates such communications as the sender may designate for this method of transmis-sion. I recommend that such legisla-tion be enacted as will enable the post-oflic- e department fairly to test by ex-periment the advantages of such a use of the telegraph. ihe south Atlantic and gulf ports oc-cupy a very favored position towards the new and importantcoininerce which tho reciprocity clause of the tariff act and the postal shipping bill are designed to promote, steamship lines from these ports to somo northern part of South America will almost cer-tainly effect, a connection between the railroad systems of the continent, loni before any continuous lino of railroad bo put in operation. Tho very large appropriation made at the last session for tho harbor of (ialveston was justi-fied us it seemed to be, by those consid-erations. The great northwest will feel the advantage of trunk lines to the south as well as to the east, and of the new markets opened for the supply of food products and for many of their manufactured products. free list, entitled us to expect a fair.re-turn- , in any way, of customs conces-sions upon articles listed by us to them was so obvious that to have gratuitous-ly abandoned this opportunity to en-large our trado would have been an unpardonable error. There were but two methods of main-taining control of this qtmstiou open to congress; to place all of these articles upon the dutiable list, subject to such treaty agreements as could be secured or place them all, presently, upon the free list, but subject to the reim position of specilied duties if the countries from which we received them should refuse to give us suitable reciprocal benclits. This latter method possesses great advantages. It expresses in advance the consent of congress to the reci-procity arrangements affecting this pro-duct, which must otherwise have been delayed and unascertained until each treaty was ratified by tho senate and the necessary legislation enacted by congress. Experience has shown that somo treaties looking to reciprocal trade have failed to seeury a two-third- s vote in the senate for ratifica-tion and others, having passed that slago, have for years awaited tho con-currence of tho house and senato in such modifications of our revenue law as were necessary to give effect to their provisions. We now have tho concur-rence of both houses in advance to a The Recent Monetary Stringency. The depression in tho prices of agri-cultural products had been greatly re-lieved and a buoyant, hopeful feeling was beginning to be experienced by all our people. These promising influ-ences have boon in somo degree cheeked by the surprising and very un-favorable monetary events which have recently taken place in England. It is gratifying to know this did not grow in anv degreo out of the financial relations in London with our people oroutof any discredit attached to our securities held in that market. The return of our bonds and stocks was caused by a money stringency in England, not by any loss of value or credit in the securi-ties themselves. Wo could not, how-ever, wholly escape ihe ill effects of a foreign monetary agitation, accompa-nied by such incidents as characterized this. It is not believed, however, that , these evil incidents which have for the ' timo unfavorably affected values in this country can long withstand the strong, safe and wholesome influences which aro .operating to give to our people pro-fitable returns in all branches of legiti-mate trade and industry. An I nternatlouat Auierinan Hank. I had occasion in my last message to transmit to congress a report adopted by the International American confer-ence upon the subject of the incorpora-tion of an International American bank, with a view to facilitating money exchanges between the states repre-sented in that conference. Such an institution would greatly promote the trado we are seeking to developo. I renew tho recommendation that a charter be granted. 1 do not think the powers granted should include those ordinarily exercised bv trust guarante and safo deposit companies or that more brandies in the L'nited States should bo authorized than are strictly necessary to accomplish the object pri-marily in view, namely the convenient foreign exchanges. It is quite impor-tant that prompt action should betaken in this matter in order that any appro-priation in order for better communi-cation with those countries and any agreement that may bo made for recip-rocal trado, may not tie hindred for the convenience of making exchanges throughout European money centers or burdened by tho tribute which is an in-cident of that method of business. A National Election Law. If any intelligent aud loyal company of Auiurican citizen were required to catalogue the essential baman con-ditions of national life, I do not doubt that with absolute unamity, these would begin with "free and honest elections," and it is gratifying to know that generally there is a growiug and demand for better elec-tion laws, but against the sign of hoped progress must be set the depressing unil undeniable fact that election laws and methods are sometimes cunningly contrived to insure the minority con-trol, while violence completes the shortcomings of fraud. In my last annual message I suggested that tho adoptmeut of the existing law providing a federal supervision of con-gressional elections offered an effective method of reforming these abuses. The need of such a law has manifested it-self in many purts of the country and its wholesome restraints and penalties will be useful in all. The constitution-ality of such legislation has been n e I by the supreme court. Its prob-able effectiveness is evidenced by tho character of the opposition that is made to it. It has been denounc-d- , as if it were a new .exercise- of fed' ral power and an invasion of the rights of the states. Nothing could be further from tho truth. Congress has already fixed the time for the election of members of congress. It has declared that the vote for mem berg of congress must be by Hellef of Ih i Siip-ein-e Court. The bill for tho relief of the supreme court has after many years discussion, reached a position when final action is easily attainable and it is hoped that any differences of opinion may be so harmonized as to save the essential fea-tures of this very important measure. In this connection 1 earnestly renew my recommendation that the salaries of judges of tho L'nited States District courts be so readjusted that nono of them shall receive loss than $51)01) per annum. distinct and definite free entry to our ports of specilic articles. The executive is not required to deal iu conjecture as to what congress will accept. Indeed this reciprocity provision is more than an offer. Our part of tho bargain is complete, delivery has been made aud when countries from which we receive sugar, coffee, tea and hides have placed on their free lists such of our products as shall bo agreed upon as an equivalent for our concession, a proclamation of that fact completes the transaction and in the meantime our people have free coffoe, tea and hides. The indications thus far given are very hopeful of early and favorable action by the countries from which we receive our large imports of coffee and sugar, and it is confidently believed that if steam communication with these coun-tries can be promptly improved and enlarged, next year will show a most gratifying increaso in our exports of Ibrtjadsluffs and provisions as well as of flome important lines of manufactured Tjoods. written or printed ballot. It has pro-vided for appointment by tho circuit courts in certain cases and upon the petition of a certain number of citizens; of election supervisors and made it their duty to supervise the registration of voters' conducted by the state offi-cers; to challenge persons offering to register; to pevsiinally inspect and scru-tinize tho registry lists and to affix their names to tbo lists for the purpi" of ident tication ami the prevention! frauds; to attend at elections and 1 main with tho boxes until the atoir all cast and counted; to attach t l registry lists and, election returns! statement touching the accuracy!

It is The New Tariff. The apprehension that our tariff may again and at once be subjected to im-portant geueral changes would un-doubtedly add a depressing influence of the most Berious character. The gen-eral tariff act has only partially gone into operation, some of its important provisions being limited to take effect at dates yet in the futuro. The general provisions of the law have been in force less than sixty days. Its permanent effect upon trade and prices still largely stand in conjecture. It is curious to note that the advance iu the prices of articles wholly unaffected by the tariff act, was by many hastily ascribed to that act.

But in its general scope aTrJeffect it will justify the support of those who be-lieve that American legislation should conserve and defend American trado aud the wages of American workmen. The misinformation! as to the terms of the act which has been so widely dis-seminated at home and abroad will bo corrected by experience, and tho evil auguries as to its results confounded by tho market reports, the savings bank, international trade balances, and the general prosperity of our people. Al-ready we begin" to hear from abroad aud from our custom houses that the prohibitory effect upon importations imputed to the act is not justified. Kpanish and Mexican l Or ants. The subject of unadjusted Spanish and Mexican laud grants aud the ur-gent necessity for providing some com-mission or tribunal for tho treatment of questions growing 'therefrom was t.oa-brough- t Iff me to the attention of congress at the last session. Bills havo been reported from the proper commit-tees of both houses on tiie subject and I very earnestly hopo that this congress will put an end to tho delay which has attended the settlements of disputes s to tho well being of matters and claims under these grants. These disputes re-tard prosperity and disturb the peace of largo aud important communities. The governor of New Mexico in his last report to tho secretary of the interior suggests some modifications of tho pro-vision of pending bills relating to small holdings of farm lands. I commend to your attention the suggestion of the secretary of tho interior upon this sub-ject. Bills on Ihe Calendars. In addition to tho bills that became laws before tho adjournment of the last session, aomo other bills of the highest Lmportanco were well advanced toward V tinal vote and now stand upon the cal-endars of the two houses in favored T).sition9. The present session has a fixed limit, and if these measures are not now brought to a linal vote, all the work that has been done upon them by this congress is lost. The proper con-sideration of these, of an apportionment bill and of the annual appropriation bills, will require not only that no work-ing day of the session shall be allowed to interrupt or retard tho progress oi those that aro of universal interest. In view of these conditions I refrain from bringing before you at this time somo suggestions that would otherwise be made, and most earnestly evoke your attention to the duty of perfecting the important legislation now well ad-vanced. A National Bankrupt Law. Tho enactment of n national bank-rupt law I still regard as very desirable. The constitution having given to con-gress jurisdiction of this subject, it ought to be exercised and uniform rules provided for tho administration of the affairs of insolvent debtors. Tho incon-venience resulting from the occasional and temporary exercise of this power by congress and from the conflicting state codes on insolvency, which come into force intermediately, should bo re-moved by the enactment of a simple, inexpensive and permanent national bankrupt law. I also renew my recommendation favoring legislation affording just copy-right protection for foreign authors on a footing of reciprocal advantage for authors abroad. not, therefore, a question whether we shall have a federal election law, for we now have one and havn had for nearly twenty years, but whether we shall have aii effective law. Tho present law stops just short of effectiveness, for it surrenders to the local authorities all the control over the certification which establishes the prima facie right to a seat in the house of representatives. This defect should be cured. Equality of representation and the purity of the electors must be maintained or everything that is valu-able in our system of government is lost. The qualifications of an elector must be sought in the law, not in the opinions, prejudice or fears of any cfass, however powerful. The path of the elector to the ballot box must be free from the ambush of fear and the entice-ment of fraud; the count so true and open that none shall gainsay it. Such a law shoubl be absolutely and impartial. It should give the advantage to honesty and the control to majorities. Surely there is nothing sectional about this creed, and if it shall happen that tho penalties of laws intended to en-force these rights fall here and not there, it is not because the law is sec-tional, but because, happily, crime is local and not universal, nor should it be forgotten. American Steamship Lines. To some of these measures which seem to me most important, I now briefly call your altention. I desire to repeat with added urgency tho recom-mendation contained in my last annual message, iu relation to the development of American steamship lines. The rec-iprocity clause of tho tariff bill will be largely limited aud its benclits retarded and dimished, if provision is not con-temporaneously to encourage the es-tablishment of 'first class steam commu-nication between our ports and the ports of such nations as may meet our overtures for en-larged commercial exchanges. The steamship carrying the mails steadily and frequently and offering to passengers a comfortable, snfe and speedy transit, is the lirst condition of foreign trade. It carries tho order of the buyer, but not all that is ordered or bought. It gives to the sailing ves-sels such cargoes as are urgent or per-ishable, and indirectly at least pro-motes that important adjunct of com-merce. There is now both in this country and in the nations of Xorth and South America expectation and contidence as to an increased trade that will give double value to your prompt action upon this question. The preseut situation of our mail communication wilh Australia, illus-trates tho importance of early action by congress. The Oceanic Steamship com- - I he imports at the port of New York for the lirst three weeks of November were nearly 8 per cent, greater than for tho same period iu iwu, and 21) per pent, greater than in the same period of ,'J9Hrt, anc so far from being an act to ' limit exports, I confidently believe that under shall secure larger and more profitable participation in foreign trado than we have ever enjoyed, and that we shall recover a proportion-al- e participation iu tho ocean trade of the world. carrying Criticisms of the bill that have come to us from foreign sources may well be , rejected for repugnancy. If these crit ics really believe that tho adoption by us of a free trade policy or of tariif rates having reference solely to reve-nue, would diminish the participation of their own countries in the commerce of the world, their advocacy and the , promotion by speech and other forms of organized effort of this movement among our people, is a rare exhibition of unselfishness in trado, and on tho other hand if they sincerely believe that the adoption of a protective tariff poli-cy by this country inures to their profit nnd our hurt, it is noticeably strange that they should lead the outcry against the authors of a policy so hopei'ul to their countrymen and crown with their favor those" who would snatch from them a substantial share of a trade with other lauds already inadequate to their necessities. Couples and Brakes. It may still ho possible for this con-gress to inaugurate, by suitable legisla-tion, a movement looking to uniformity and increased stability in use of couples and brakes upon freight trains engaged in interstate commerce. The chief dif-ficulty in the way is to secure an agree-ment as to the best appliances, simplic-ity and effectiveness aud cost being considered This difficulty will only yield to legislation which should be based upon full inquiry and impartial tests. The purpose should be to secure tho of all well disposed managers and owners, but the fearful fact that every years' delay involves the loss cf two thousand lives and the maiming of 20. 0'.IO young men should plead both with the congress and the managers against any needless delay. That every law, whether relating to elections or to any other subject, whether enacted by the state or by the nation, has force behind it. Tho courts, the marshal or constable, the posse comitatus, the prison, are all and al-ways behind the law. One cannot be justly charged with unfriendliness to any section or class who seeks ouly to restrain violations of law and of'per-sona- l right. No community will lind lawlessness protitable. No community can afford to havo it known that tho of-ficers who aro charged with the preser-vation of the public peace and tho re-straint of the criminal classes are them-selves the product of fraud or violence. The magistrate is then without respect and tho law without sanction. The floods of lawlessness can be levied and made to run in one channel. Tho killing of an Arid Lands and Irrigation. The subject of tho conversion and equal distribution of tho water supply in the arid regions has had much atten-tion from congress, but has not as yet been put up iu a permanent and satis-factory basis. The urgeucy of the sub-ject does not grow out of any large present demand for tho use of the lands for agriculture, but out of the danger that tho water supply and tho sites for the necessary catch basins may fall iuto the hands of individuals or private corporations. and used to render subservient large areas dependent on such supply. The owner of water is the owner of the lands, however the titles may run. All unappropriated water sources and all necessary reservoirs should be held by the government for the equal use at fair rates of the homestead sett lers, who will eventually take up these lands. The United States should not in my opinion undertake the construction of pauy maintains a line of steamers be-tween San l'ranciseo. Sydney and Auck-land constituted of three vessels, two of which aro of United States registry and one of foreign registry. For tho service done by this lino in carrying the mails, we pay annually the sum of $10,000, being estimated tho full sea and United States inland postage, which is the limit fixed by law The colonies of New South Wales and New Zealand havo been paying annually to these I'llT.OOO for carrying tho mails from Sydney and Auckland to San Fran-cisco. The contract under which this payment has been made is now about to expire and these colonies havo refused to renew tho eon-tra-unless the United States shall pay a more equitable proportion of the sum necessary to hold the service. I am advised by tiie postmaster gen-eral that the United States receives for carrying tho Australian mails brought to ban I rancisco in these steamers by There is no disposition among any of our people to promote prohibitory or retaliatory legislation. Our policies are adopted not to the hurt of others, but to secure for ourselves those ad-vantages that fairly grow out of our favored position as a nation. Our form of government with its incident of universal suffrage, makes it impera-tive that we shall savo our working people from tho agitations and dis-tresses which scant work that leaves no margin for comfort, always beget. But after all this is done it will be I found that our markets are open to f .lriendly commercial exchanges of enormous value to other great powers. From the time of my induction into office the duty of using ewery power and influence given by law to tiie exec-utive department, for the development of larger markets for our products, es paoially our farm products, has been United States marshal, carrying a writ of arrest for an election ofi'ense, is full of prompting and offense to men who are pursued by a city marshal for a crime against life or property. Hut it is said that this legislation will revive animosities, and some have even sug-gested that when tho peaceful methods of fraud are made impossible, they may be supplanted by intimidation and violence. If the proposed law give anv qualified elector more than his equal influence or detract by so much from any other qualified elector, it is fatally impeached, but if the law is equal and the animosities it is to invoke grow out of the fact that that some electors have been accustomed to exercise the fran-chise) for others, as well as for them-selves, then these animosities ought not j KEEP YOUR EYE DIRECTED (U) $ $ TOWARD" 77 : : : ; uuixoxomoojoiiumoniio noooooooooooooooooooo I 1 yiJj J TAT y I I I I MkI NOTICES.

A young man of about 23 is just now the hero of a select circle of friends in the southern section of the city, and in view of his peculiar history ho quite de-serves to be lionized. Five years ago he was a clerk in a bank on a meager sal-ary, and one time some of the same de-voted friends of these days thought it would lie a good joke to pretend the bank had been robbed, and warn him that he was suspected. This a number did, only they called him up about mid-night, so as to give the joke a more natural appearance. After telling him that two hours before burglars had stolen TiO,(XK) in bank notes, they added that tho police were now on the way to urrest him as a suspect. It so happened that he had but two hours beforo been in the vicinity of tho bank, and fearful of not being able to prove an alibi, he gathered his available belongings together and caught an early morning train for the north. Of course there was a big row in the vicinity of the young fellow's home and his funny friend. had to leave town. Fortunately the young fellow was a bachelor, and ho was not hunted np. Recently ho wrote to an old acquaintance here from Can-ada, and the latter in replying to the long lost youth told him the truth about the bank jolto. Then the young fellow came back, but not as he went away. IIo rode in a parlor car and swelled around in a hack. He had gone to Mon-treal and after the first shock had settled down to work and gradually by lucky speculation had grown, rich. Philadel-phia Enquirer. Craves In tho Crimea. Some interesting results were obtained from the archaeological explorations car-ried on in the Crimea during last sum-mer. Professor Vesselovski found paint-,- ! human bones in two graves six skel-Vm- s in one grave and one in another. V well ltnown orclucologist Professor Vipler, of Dresluu, who was present -- V;ir at the congress of archaeolo-i;TwTi)sco-is (k opinion that these 'graves! b'longed lA.he original inhabi-tants jhe Cfirln!, tho Cimmeriuns of IleroVitu's." 11 was a nsage with them to IaV their dead on elevated spots so that the birds might consume the flesh. Wrhen quite bleached they painted tho skeletons with some mineral pigment, tlraves containing such painted skeletons have been found iu Central Asia, but only in a few instances. Only three such graves had been previously found in the Crimea. Professor Grempler proposes to take the skeletons with him to Paris, and exhibit them at tho congress of an-thropologists to be held there during the autumn. Boston Transcript. Damages Tor a Delayed Message. Tho stato supreme court of North Carolina has confirmed the action of the lower court which awarded to J. T. Young, of Craven county. N. C, $10,000 damages against tho Western Union ' Telegraph company. It is represented j that last year "Young's wife was taken very ill in Columbia, S. C. Mr. Young was at New Berne, N. C, and his wifo telegraphed him that sho was sick, and requested him to come to her at once. He did not get tho message until six days later, and in the meantime Mrs. Young died and was buried, Young not knowing of either fact till all was over." Philadelphia Ledger. A Fascinating Painting. A Russian artist, Nicolai, has set Ber-lin agog by exhibiting his painting of Christ before Pilate. It is said to be horribly fascinating, and the salon where it is displayed is crowded to suffocation. Critics agree that it is vastly inferior to Munkacsy'a painting of the same title, so far as art is concerned, hut they nd-- ' mit that it has power. Kate Field's Washington. j As the neck dressings grow larger, richer, showier iu texture and more ver-- ; satile in form, the scarf pins, as if regit--' lated by a temporizing hand, liecome more chastely simple in design. A plain old gold ball of the circumference of a five cent silver piece, studded with tur- - qnoise a revived pattern is very dis-- ! tingue. Pipes are coming into fashion again, j but only in offices and out of sight of the public. Possibly the timo will come when a man will feel justified in pro-ducing a pipe in the smoking compart-ment of a car here, or in stalking along the street with one, after the fashion of the young clerks in England. The French minister of war lately of-fered a prize for the swiftest bird in a flight from Perigueux to Paris. 310 miles. There were 2.740 entries, and the winner did the distance in seven hours and thirty-fou- r minutes. The greatest height in tho atnosphero at which tho eowid of cannon has been heard was 20,000 feet, when Mr. Glaisher at that height over Birminghc.m heard the firing of tho guns being proved there. Mr. Skelton, of Ilart county, Ga., owns a hog 14 months old and weighing 025 pounds. It ia 7 feet 7 inches long, and its back "is almost as broad as a barn door." ... i J, v,. |
