Pog8 Revenue al Telegraph, WasHiNGTON, Dec, 4. —President Arthur's anhual message was laid before congress to- day. The president at the outset congratulates congress upon the favorable aspect of the domestic and foreign affairs of the govern- iment. Our relations with other countries { continue to be upon a friendly footing. Notice of the termination of the fisheries {articles of the treaty of Washington has | been given the British government that the reciprocal privileges and exemptions will cease on July 1, 1885, He therefore suggests that congress create a commission to con- sider the general question of our rights in the fisheries and the means of opening to our citizens under just and enduring conditions the richly stocked fishing waters of British | North America. Concerning our relations with Mexico, the { president says: ‘The rapid influx of our | capital of enterprise into that vast country | shows, by what has already been accomplish- led, the vast reciprocal advanta_es which ! must attend the progress of its internal de | velopment. The treaty of commerce and | bavigation of 1848 has boen terminated by the | Mexican government and in the absence {of conventional engagements the rights of j our citizens in Mexico depend upon the do- { mestic statutes of that republic. There have | been instances of harsh enforcement of the { laws against our vessels and citizens in Mex- | ico, and of denial of the diplomatic resort for | their protection. The initial step toward a | better understanding bh: been taken in the negotiation by the comanission authorized by { congress of a treaty which is still before the { senate awaiting its approval } The provisions for the reciprocal crossing | of the frontier by the troops in pursuit of | hostile Indians have been prolonged for an. | other year. The operations of the forces of | both governments against these savages have | been successful, and several of their most { dangerous bands have been captured or dis | persed by the skill and valor of the United | States and Mexican soldiers fighting in a | common cause, Chili-Peruvisn affairs are dismissed with | the following paragraph: “The contest between Bolivia, Chili and Peru has passed from the stage of strategic hostilities to ne- | gotiation in which the counsels of this { government have been exercised Te de mands of Chili for absolute cession of terri | tory have been maintained and accepted by | the party of Gen. Iglesing, to the extent of j concluding a treaty of peace with the gov- { ernment of Chili in general conformity with | the terms of the protocol signed in May last { between the Chilian commander and General | iglesias. As a result of the conclusion of this | treaty, Gen. Iglesias has been formally recog- { nized by Chili as president of Peru, and his i government installed at Lima, which has | beets evacuated by the Chilians. A call ha | been issued by Gen. Iglesias for a representa- | tive assembly to be elected on the 13th of ! January and to meet at Lima on the Ist of March next. Meanwhile the provisional gov- | ernment of Gen. Iglesias has applied for re | organization to the principal powers of | America and Europe. When the will of the | Peruvian people shall be manifested, 1 shall | not hesitate to recoguize the government sp- | proved by them.” The president quotes from an exhibit of { the financial condition of the country, giving { the report of the secretary of the treasury | showing the receipts and expenditures, actual {and estimated, for the current fiscal year, | and then discusses financial jects as fol | lows: “Total receipts, actual and estimated, | $343,000,000, Total expenditures, actual and | estimated, $257,000,000. Surplus, j 000. Estimated amount due the sinking fund, | 845.816,741,17. Leaving a balance of §30,- | 185,258 68. If the revenue for the flscal year which | will end on June 30, 1855, be estimated upon | the basis of existing laws, the secretary is of | -be opinion that for that year the receipts | will exceed by $60,000,000 the ordinary ex- | penditures, including the amount donated to | the s.nking fund, Hitherto the surplus as rapidly as it has | accumulated bas been devoted to the reduc tion of the national debt. As a result the | only bunds now outstanding which are re | deemable at the pleasure of the government | are the three per cents, amounting to about | 305,000,000, | The four and one half per | ing to $250,000,000, and the §787,000,000 four | per cents are not payable until 1591 and 1907, res vely. If the surplus shall hereafter bo as | as the treasury estimates now indicate, the | three per cent bonds may all be redeemed at | least four years before any of the four and | a half por cents can be called in, The latter, { at the same rate of accumulation of surplus, {can be paid at maturity, and the moneys | requisite for the redemption of the {four per cents will be in the treas jury many years before those obligations | became payable. There are cogent reasons, | however, why the national indebtedness should not be thus rapidly extinguished. Chief among them is the fact that only by excessive taxation is such rapidity attain- able. In a communication to the congress at its last session I recommended that all excise matters be abolished, except;those rel. ing to distilled spirits, and that substantial reduc. tions be also made in the revenues from cus toms. A statute has since been enacted by which the annual tax and tariff receipts of the government have been cut down to the extent of at least from $50,000,000 to $60, 000,000, While I have no doubt that further reduo- tions may be wisely made I do not advise the adoption at this session of any measures for large diminution of the national revenues The results of the legislation of the last ses sion of the congress have not as yet become sufficiently aparent to justify any radical re. vision or sweeping modifications of existing law, In the interval which must elapse be for the effects of the act of March 3, 1883, can be definitely ascertained a portion at least of bo surplus revenues may be wisely applied to the long neglected duty of rehabilitating our and navy providing coast defences for the protection of our harbors, This is a matter to which I shall again advert. Immediately associated with the financial thject discussed is the important question, mt legislation is needed regarding the tional cul " The aggregate amount of bonds now om deposit in tie treasury to support the nae tional benk circulation is about §350,000,000, Nearly §200,000,000 of this amount consists of three cents, which, as already stated, ‘are pay at the of the govern met 1d ars likely to be called in within less than four years, unless meantime the rurolus revenues hall be diminished, The probable effect of such un extensive retirement of the securities which are the basis of the national bank circulation would be such a contraction of the volume of the currency as to produce grave commercial embarrassments, How can this danger be obviated ! Ths most effectual plan aud one whose adoption at the earliest possible op- portunity 1 shall heartily approve has als ready been indicated. If the revenues of the next four years shall be kept substantially commensurate with the expenses the volume of circulation will not be likely to suffer any additional disturbs ance, But if on the other hand, there shall be great delay in reducing taxation it will be- come necessary either to substitute some oiber form cof currency in place of the na- tional bank notes or to make important changes in the laws by which their circula- tion is now controlled. In my judgment the latter course is far preferable. I commend to your attention tbe very interesting and thoughtfal suggestions upon this subject which appear in the secretary's report. The objections which he urges against the accept ance of any other securities than the obliga- tions of the government itself as a founda tion for national bank circulation seem to me insaperable, For averting the threatened contraction two courses have been suggested, either of which is probably feasible. One is the issu ance of new bonds, having many vears run, bearing a low rate of interest and ex. changeable upon specified terms for those now outstanding. The other couse, which commends itself to my own judgment as the better, is the ¢nactment of a law repealing the tax on circulation and permitting the banks to issue notes for an amount equal to ninety per cent. of the market value instead of as now the face value of their deposited bonds. 1 agree with the secretary in (he be lief that the adoption of this plan would af- ford the necessary relief. The trade dollar was coined for the purpose of traffic in countries where silver passed at its value as ascertained by its weight and fineness. It never hada legal tender quality, Large numbers of these coins entered how. ever into the volume of our currency. By common consent their circulation in domestic trade has now ceased, and they bave thus be come a disturbing element. They should not be longer permitted to embarass our com merce system. I recommend that provision be made for their reception by the treasury and mint as bullion at a small percentage above their current market price of silver of like fineness, The president calls the att of con gress to the present condition of our extended sea coast, ‘upon which are so many large cities whose wealth and importance to tis county would in time of war invite attacl from modern armored ships, against wi existing defensive works could give no ade quate protection,” and suggests that if thes works are not put in an efficient condition we may easily be subjected to humiliati by a hostile power greatly inferior to « selves, Buitable facilities for the manufacture of heavy ordinance adapted to modern warfare and perfection of submarine torpedo defenses are also recommended. The encouragemen of state militia organizations by the nationa government, the president believes. would I» followed by very gratifying results, an would afford in sudden emergencies the ai of a large body of volunteers, educated i the perfomance of military duties The president endeavors to impress upor the attention of congress the necessity continued progress in the reconstruction of the navy. The condition of the treasurs makes the present an suspicious time fo putting this branch of the service in a stat of efficiency While it is no part of ow policy to create and maintain a navy able tc cope with that of the other great powers of the world; and while we have no wish fo foreign cunquest and the peace which we have long enjoyed is in no seeming danger of interruption, still our naval strength shouk be adequate for the defense of our harbors the protection of our commercial interest and the maintenance of our national honor On the subject of government telegraph the president says that such reflection as he bas been able to give it since his last annus message bas not led him to change the view. there expressed, in dissenting from the re ommendation of the postmaster general that the government assume the same contr over the telograph which it bas always exer cised over the mail Admitting that th government authority in the premises is as ample as has ever been claimed, it would not in his judgment be a wise use of that authority to purchases or as. sume control of existing lines, or to construct others with a view of entering into general competition with private enterprises, He dismisses the subject by avowing the belief, however, that the government should exer. cise some sort of supervisian over futer state telegraphic communication, Referring to the alarming state of iiliteracy in certain portsons of the country, the presi dent suggests Faderal aid to public primary education wheraver adequate provision has pot already bean mada, Concerning the extirpation of polygamy the president is convinced that the evil has become so strongly entrenched in Utah that it is profitiess to attack it with any but the stoutest weapons which constitutional legis lation can fashion. He therefore favors the repeal of the act upon which the sxisting government depends, the assumption by the national legislature of the entire political control of the territory and the establishment of a commission, with such powers and duties «n sha'll ba dalegatad to it by Jaw ention adi TE A. The presidents conemsion on tne suuyece or | governmental interference, supervision or | control of interstate railroad commerce is dismissed as follows: “The right of these rallway corporations to a fair and profitable return upon their investments and to rea. sonable freedom in their regulations must be recogniend ; but it seems only just that, so far as its constitutional authority will permit, congress should protect the people at large in their interstate traffic against acts of injustice which the state governments are powerless to prevent.” . On the subject of presidential succession and the proper interpretation of the con. stitutional phrase “inabilities to discharge the duties of said office,” the president ex. presses the hope that these questions will find speedy solution lest emergencies may arise when longer delay will be impossible, and any determination may furnish cause for anxiety and alarm, Tho message closes with the following al- lusion and suggestion respecting the civil rights of the colored race: “The fourteenth amendment of the constitution confers the rights of eitizenship upon "all persons bora or naturalized in the United States and sul. ject tothe jurisdiction thereof, It was the special purpose of this amendment to insure members of the colored race the full enjoyment of civil and political rights.” Certain statutory provisions intended to secure the enforcement of those rights have been recently declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, Any legislation where. by cungress may lawfully supplement the guaranties which the constitution afford. for the equal enjoyment by all the citizens of the United States of every right, privilege aed Immunity of citizensiip will receive my unhesitat ing approval vo Lo A-GREA 7 PR (OBL EM.
