THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. . C. WINK, Cditok PnormiTon. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 6, 18!fl. The rrrsldonl'd Message. 'A bill to reduce the wages of the American workingmeti would be a better name for that Wilson free tade bill. The regular session of the 63rd Coogrecs convened on the 3rd. The President's annual melange was deliv ered to that body at 1:35 p. m, It is a lengthy and exhaustive treatment of the varkua question of state. Concerning our foreign relations he says: While they have not at all times during the past year been en tirely free from perplexity, no em bariassing situation remains that will not yield to the spirit of fairness and love of justice, which, joined with consistent firmness, characterize a truly American foreign policy. He does not think the insurgents of Brazil have any claim to be recog nized as belligerents, hence our gov ernment retains a neutral position in regard to the conflict now going on in that country. He thinks the amendment to (be Geary law will render it more acceptable to the Chinese and the necessity of enforced deportation by the government will be avoided. In speaking of the suppression of the slave trade, and restriction t certain injurious commerce carried on in the Congo Free Slate anrt adja cent zone oi central Atnca tie says: "I recommend that an act be passed prohibiting the sale of arms and in toxicants to natives in the regulated zone by our citizens." the Presidents attempt to justify bis action io regard to Hawaii and says he is expecting soon addi tiona! advice to those already re ceived and when it cosies the whole matter will be referred to Congress along with a special executive mes sage. There was a decrease of 141,034 io the number of immigrants from last year. The whole number of arrival were 440,793 of which number 1,063 were not permitted to land under the -limitations of the I aw, and 575 were returned by reason of becoming pub lie charges. Hoke Smith is up beld in the pen sion business, alleged frauds being assigned as the reason, these he de sired to have investigated. The amount paid in pensions last year was 15b,740,467,14 and it is estimat ed about nine niillious more will be Yequired next year. r.x-peaker Ueed, in refering to . I T : J - .... mo i resiueui a message says: ll is bad enough to have a tariff bill made up by a little coterie 'political bill,' as Mr. Wilson calls it, but to have it communicated to the president before it reaches even tbe committee, still less tbe bouse, shows a determination to be moved by no facts and modified by no arguments which makes appar ent the absurdity of appointing Re- -..UK .L - I'uuiiuaua ou me committee ot waye and means at all." Mr. Caldwell, of Ohio says : "The president indicates that every pension er received his pension by fraud, and defeurs his action in suspending pen ciuue irituiiui giving ine soldiers a hearing, by asserting it is the French uicuiuu. lie anil maintains his un- American policy regarding the re storing ot tjueeo Lilioukalaui. His recommendations of an income tax upon corporations will not only de crease the wages of workingmeo, but increase the product to the consum er." The people of this country have had a continuous protective tariff for thirty-two years. Have tbey pro gressed under it or have they oot? Has the country been prosperous dur ing that time or other wise? These are questions every man of average mind can answet as well as an expert. The answer must in every case be in the affirmative. Then why seek to change it? The Hawaiian matter is still in an unsettled condition. Blount af firms and Stevens denies while minis ter Willis does not yet seem to have taken any action toward restoring the deposed queen to her thrown. It is too important a matter to act with baste. The affair will doubtless be settled before long to the best inter est to all concerned and with credit to our government. Hoke Smith is going to do pretty much everything that great statesmen do. He is according to all the sto ries going to leave the cabinet ; he is going to hang on his cabiuet place until his term expires, and he is going to be a candidate for United States Senatot. Give linker time and he will announce his candicacy for the Presidency or at least his friends will or that be is "prominently mentioned." We will eel free coal and lumber fromCauada; free silver from Mex icu; free tin plate from Geat Britain: free wine from Frauce; free pottery from England aud Austria; free phosphorous from Iialy; freeirou ore from Spain; free opium from Iodia, free clothing from nearly every Eu ropean country; free vegetable, meal and seeds from Canada and free pret ty much everything else from every where else.

The clearinghouse reports are encouraging, showing an increase of business. Nearly all tbe banks that closed their doors have opened them for business again. uwiug to the laieuess ot tbe seasoD there will Dot be a very marked re vival io business before next spring, excepting perhaps the iron business. Many mills that have been shut' Iowd are starting ud, some on part, others on full time. David A Wells, than whom no man in America lias done more at the bidding of his English employers to cripple American industries fur the benefit of English manufactures, has the credit along with Thomas G Sheerman, a Brooklyn free trade crank, of the preparation of the tar' iff bill, just handed t the Republi can members of the (Jommitlee on Ways and Means. Wells has been an iudustrious worker for thedestruc lion or American iuduBtries, and since Prof. Sumner found it incoo' vetiiem, by reasou of hia employ meut in an American Uollcge, t no longer push tree trade theories, Wells has been tbe chief Eoghbh fugelmao, Anything that would stop an Amen can mill aud start an englieh one has always met his approval, but it is yet to be seen whetheran American Con gress wrll adopt the pro-British views of these free trade employes.

The deficit is to be made up by a tax on the iucome and industry of our people. The imlus trial and manufacturing interests of the country will be crippled by the reduction of duties wich will compel a reduction of wages or closing o wjd luauuiuciones. men toe wage earner ana producer will he taxedf on bis income to make up the short age caused by the withdrawal of the protection afforded tbe toiler and producer under the Republican mea TT , . sure. uuaer the present system there need be no income lax levied. But uuder the proposed bill the for eign producer will lower wages and and tbe citizen will in addition be taxed on bis earnings and income to make up the deficiency. Reduce wages already low; theu tax wages or earnings, or income, fur it is all tbe same. Tbis is lbe modern goepel I 1 . preacoeu ana io ue put in practice by tbe Democratic party. The No verober defeat has no terrors for that party. The Dumocratio party is un lit to govern. The Democratic Con pros is passing laws for tbe beuefit of Europe. Op All men in this country who are competent to pass upon tbe merits of the Wilson free'trada bill, James M Swaok, geueral manager of tbe American Iron and Steel Association, is first and foremost. He has made the steel and irou business of tbis country a life study, aud he is throughly qualified in every respect to (peak on the subject. Speaking of tbe effect of the bill on industries aud wages be says : ' If it were possible for this measure t become a law it would destroy our pig iron industry, our steel rail in dustry east of the Allegbenieg and it would put out the fires iu at least one-half the rolling mills and steel works of the country, while the own- ers ot the other halt would be com pelled, iu order to keep their works in operation to reduce tbe wages of their employes, probably 50 percent; men getting 'l to-day being cut down to tl, and those receiving $1 50 get ting only 75c." In other words tbe men wbo work io the iron and steel mills of this country would have to work for the pauper wages of Europe io order that the manufactures here could compete wilb forego producers, otherwise the mills will shut down altogether. This is not a pleasant prospect for men who have all their lives earned fair wages."
