especially condemning Sheri dans proposition tion and its approval by the secretary secretary of war in the name mame of th the a administration washington 14 the secretary of the treasury has determined to make no change in the alaska special agency bryant therefore will be retained notwithstanding the efforts of commissioner elliott and others to procure his removal the message of the president on finance dasent was hent cent to the senate today with his approval of the senate bill for the resumption of specie payment he calls the attention of congress to the necessity for increased revenue to carry out the obligation of adding to the sinking fund annually one per cent of the public debt and the promise of the bill to redeem eighty million in legal tenders tender sand and suggests the restoration to of the duty oil on tea and coffee and the repeal of the ten per cent reduction on certain articles by the act of rune june 6 72 he next calls attention to tle the the necessity of preventing enting entink the purchasing of silver bliver for exportation and the consequent enhancement of the th premium and suggests that the secretary of the treasury be authorized to redeem legal tenders with gold when presented in sums of not less than on one e hundred dollars or any multiple thereof at a premium for gold of ten per cent less interest at the rate of two and a half per cent per annum from january y 1 1875 to the date of putts putting rig this law into operation lemini shing the premium at the same late until final resumption hanging the rate of premium as demanded from time to time as the interest amounts to one fourth of one per cent thel president suggests the ratio of interest mentioned be cause it would bring the currency at par with gold at the date nixed fixed by law for final resumption he believes ten per cent premium on gold will insure the retention of silver in the country for change he says the provision of the third section of the act will prevent combinations bi being made to exhaust the treasury of coin with such a law it is presumable that no gold would be called for not being required for legitimate business purposes when large amounts of coin should bo be drawn from the trea treasury kury tury correspondingly large amounts of currency would be withdrawn from circulation thus camping sufficient stringency in the currency to stop the outward flow of ef coin the advantages of a currency of fixed and known value would also be reached plin flin in my opinion by the enactment 0 of such a law business and industries would revive and che ohe beginning of prosperity on u firm basis bais be reached the president thinks other means should probably be devised for increasing the revenue and says that in order to carry out the first section of the act another mint becomes a necessity as the present facilities for coinage are in i clent and in view vies of the fact that a large proportion of change will be required in the mississippi valley and that the the tho bullion all comes from the west ke 10 thinks that tile tiie question of es tab lishing a new mint at chicago y st louis or omaha should be considered si the president says in con elusion 1 I have hav 0 ventured apoll this subject with great aliffi diffidence dence because it is so unusual to a measure as I 1 most heartly hea headily rily go do this even it if no further farther legislation is attainable at this time tipi aud to announce the fact by a message but I 1 do so because T feel that it 1 is 9 a subject of such sueh vital importance e to the whole country that it should receive tile the attention of and be discussed by congress and by the people through the press and andin in every way to the end that the best and tind most satisfactory course may be reached of executing what I 1 deem most beneficial legislation on a most vital question to our interests and prosperity MADISON sis wis vis 14 governor taylors message
