Commerce and Manufactures -The ‘Tarif Question Reviewed —Capital and Labor - The Work of the Executive Departments. President Harrison sent his last annual message to Congress on Tuesday, in which he says: In subn:itting my annual message to Congress, I have great satisfaction in being able to say that the general condi- tions affecting the commercial and industrial interests of the United States are iu the highest degree favorable. A comparison of the existing conditions with those of the most favored the history of the couutry will, Poel: ve, show that so high a degree of prosperity and so general a diffusion of the coim- forts of life were never before enjoyed by our people. The total wealth of the country in 1860 was $16,159,616,068, In 1890 it amounted to $62,610,000,000. an increase of 287 per cent. - The message, after setting forth the increase in manufactures and growth of foreign and coastwise trade, take- up the tariff subject. On this the Presi- dent says: I believe that the protective system, which has now for something more thar thirty years continuously prevailed iv our legislation, has been a mighty instru: ment for the development of our nation: wealth and a most powerful agency ‘iv protecting the homes of our workingmen from the invasion of want, I have felt a most solicitous interest to preserve tc our working people rates of wages that would not only give daily bread but supply a comfortable margin for those home attractions and family comforts and enjoymeuts without which life is neither hopeful nor sweet. They are American citizens—a part of the great people for whom our Constitution and government were framed and instituted —and it can not be a perversion of that Constitution to so legislate as to preserve in their homes the comfort, independence, loyalty and sense of interest in the gov- ernment which are essential to good citizenship in peace, and which will bring this stalwart throng, as in 1861, to the defense of the flag when it is as- sailed. 4 It is not my purpose to renew here the argument in favor of a protective tariff. The result of the recent election must be accepted as having introduced a new policy. * * * The contention has not been between schedules, but between principles, and i¢ would be offensive to suggest that the prevailing party will not carry into legislation the principles advo- cated by it and the pledges given to the people. ‘The tariff bills passed by the House of Representatives at the last ses sion were, as I suppose—even in the opinion of their promoters—inadequate, and justified only by the fact that the Senate aud House of Representatives were not in accord, and that a general revision could not, therefore be under- taken. ‘I recommend that the whole subject of tariff revision be left to the in- coming Congress. On the subject of capital and labor the message says: The strained and too often disturbed relations existing be- tween the employees and the employers in our great manufacturing establish- = have not ee favorable toa calm ron ait ee wine WRN ve! tem. ‘The face that Hwieanen city highest paid in like callings in the world and that a maintenance of this rate of wages, in the absence of protective du- ties upon the product of his labor, was impossible were obscured by the passion evoked by these contests, He may now be able to review the question in the light of his personal experience under the op- eration of a tariff for revenue only. If that experience shall demonstrate that present rates of wages are thereby main- tained or increased, either absolutely or in their purchasing power, and that the aggregate volume of work to be done in this country is increased, or even main- tained, so that there are more or as many day’s work in a yearatas good or better wages for the American workman as has been the case under the protective system, every one will rejoice. Our relations with Canuda are referred to, and the commercial attitude of that government to the United States is such that the President recommends a radical revision of our trade relations with that country, but on an intimate and friendly basis. The regret is made that in many of the controversies, notably those 2s to the fisheries on the Atlantic, the sealing interests on the Pacific, and the canal tolls, our negotiations with Great Britain nave continuously been thwarted or re- tarded by unreasonable and unfriendly objections and protests from Canada. ‘the report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the fiaancial condition of the government is dwelt upon at length; the ceorganization of the army service is recommended, the work of the various Departments fs complimented, and the new navy is pointed to with pride, Concerning the Pension Bureau, the President says: I believe that the organ. ization is efficient, and that the work has been done with fidelity. The pas- sage of what is known as the disability bill has, as was foreseen, very largely in- creased the annual disbursements to the disabled veterans of the civil war. The estimate for this fiscal year was $144, 956,000, and that amount was appropri- ated. A deficiency amounting to $10,- 308,621 must be provided for at this ses- sion. The estimate for pensions for the fiscal year ending June oo, 1894, is $165,- 000,000. The Commissioner of ' Pensions believes that, if the Present legislation and methods are maintained and further additions to the pension laws are not made, the maximum expenditure for pensions will be reached June 30, 1894, and will be at the highest point $188,000,- 000 per annum. 7 The usefulness of the Agricultural de- partment is presented, and the subjects of quarantine and immigration, the Wor'd’s Fair, protection to railroad em- ployees, civil service and election meth- ods are considered. The Answer Not Satisfactory, The committee representing the loco- motive engineers of the New York Cen- tral Railroad have recieved an unsatia- factory answer from President Depew to their request that hereafter the road Officials treat with a single committee Tepresenting the engineers instead of committees representing the lodges, He answers in polite terms, but avoids the point at issue. The engineers say they ies pes in their demands, while it i: ‘nown the company is unwilling to further. z —s THE NATIONAL CAPITAL EVENTS OF INTEREST IN CON: GRESS AND THE DEPARTMENTS. Work of Congress. Congress got finally settled down te work on Monday of this week. 2 The anti option bill was brought up in the Senate, and seems likely to be the sion of a more determined struggle than last session, Many petitions, both for and against the bill, were presented. Mr, Hoar, from the Judiciary Commit- tee presented a bill providing penalties against persons, not a ship’s crew, whe aid or encourage riot on American ships, which was passed. Many memorials and bills were pre- sented if the House, which took their places on the calendar. Mr. Cummings, of N. Y., secured the passage of a reso- lution to investigate charges that the postal authorities exclude newspapers from the privileges of the mails without previous notice to publishers, and of other irregular practices. Several bills have been introduced upon the currency question, and that subject will come up for early action, and will probably be the most exciting subject of discussion -| during the session, A comprehensive pill to enable national banks to incrvase t..eir circulation and to suspend further purchases of silver was introduced by Representative Andrews of Massachu- setts. a Notes. Silver men have no hope of any fa- vorable legislation at this session of Con- gress, G. M. Lamberton, of Lincoln, Neb., has been selected as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, to succeed Mr. Nettle- ton. It is now thought no effort will be made by the Democrats in Congress to get New Mexico and Arizona in as States t tis session. Colonel John B. Weber, Commissioner of Immigration at New York, hus placed his resignation at the disposal of the Sec- retary of the Treasury. The Secretary of War states that a balance of $3,732 is still due the State of Pennsylvania for moneys expended by that State for the use of the Unitéd States n 1864, A rumor has gained currency in Wash- ington that Mr. Blaine, whose ill health continues, is making arrangements to enter the Roman Catholic church, His friends give no credence to it. The President has appointed Genio M. Lambertson, of Nebraska. First Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Among other appointments sent to the Senate are the following: James W. McDill, Iowa, In- terstate Commerce Commissioner; Per- son C. Cheney, New Hampshire, Minister to Switzerland ; Peter S. Grosscup, Judge of the northern district of Illinois; Charles C. Cole, U. 8. District Attorney for the District of Columbia. The “Public Ledger” Building Burned. The massive six-story Public Ledger building at the southwest corner of ‘whed by the well-known philanthropist, George W. Childs, was nearly ruined by fire and water about 6 o’clock Tuesday evening. The damage by fire was con- fined almost entirely to the composing- room, situated on the top floor, but a corrent of water poured down through the building, flooding every floor in the structure. The loss will probably be about $250,000. Insurance on building $160,000; on contents $80,000. There was no interruption in the publication of the Public Ledger, as Mr. Childs had provided for such an emergency by hav- ing a duplicate plant in another build- ing. In recognition of the heroism of the firemen, Mr. Childs sent Mayor Stuart a check for $5.000 for the Police and Fire- men’s Pension Fund, and when the fire was under control he arranged to have the police and firemen Provided with coffee and supper at a neighboring res- taurant. — A Rich Salvation Recruit, To the great astonishment of her many church and society friends.
