Involved tiave given rlse te international

While de-lreus that friendly relations should
exist between the people of the I'nited States

during the past season toward our tlshermeu
has been such as te tbrt-nieti their continu
ance ; and although disappointed In his ef
forts te secure a satisfactory settlement el tlie
question, negotiations are still pending with
reasonable hepe of an acceptable conclusion
by the end of the present Congress.
Alluding te our rolatlens with Hawaii tbe
president recommends an extension ler
seven years or the reciprocity treaty of 1S76.
Ha urgently renews his recommendation el

lleferring te the Cutting case he says the
Incident has disclosed a claim of Jurisdiction
by Mexico, novel In our history, whoreby
any ollenso committed any whero by a lor ler lor
elgner, penal In the place of Ita commission,
and or which a Mexican la the object, may,
Ifthe effender be leund In Mexico, be thore

can lawn. This Jurisdiction waa sustained by
the courts el Mexico and approved by tlie
executive- branch of that government, upon
the authority or a Mexican statute. The ap
pellate court, In reloading Mr. Cutting, de
cided that the abandonment orthe complaint
by the Mexican citizen aggrieved by the
alleged crime (a libelous publication), re ro re
meved the basis of futher prosecution, and
also declared Justice; te haye been satis
fied by the onlercoment et a small part of
the original aontenoo. The admission of such
a pretension, the prosldent argues, would be
attended with serious results, invasive of the
Jurisdiction of this government, and highly
dangerous te our cltlzena In forelgn lauds;
therefere he has denied it, and protestod
against Its attempted exercise as unwarrauted
by the principles of law and International
usages.
A sovereign has Jurisdiction of oQeuses
which take eflect within hla torrltery, al
though concocted or commenced outside of
it; but the right Is denied of any foreign
Boverelgu te punish a citizen el tbe United
States ter an eireuse consummated en our
soil in violation of our laws, evon though
the olTeuae tie against a subject or
citizen of such sovereign. The Mexican
atatute in question makes the claim broadly,
and the principle. If oencoded, would make
a dual responsibility in the cltizen and lead
te inextricable contusion, destructive of that
certainty in tlie laws which is an essential of
liberty.
When citizens of the United States volun
tarily go into u lorelgu country they must
abide by the laws thore In force, aud will
net be protected by their own govern
ment from the consequences of an ollenso
against these laws committed In such foreign
country, but watchful care and Interest of
this government ever Its citizens are net re
linquished because they have gene abroad,
and If charged with crlme committed in the
foreign land, a lair and open trial, conducted

M8MI8MON Of THK TAItlft'.
Ilonehlng demesttn atlalrs, thn first subjfe't
dlscusMOd I the larilt, aud te Dili the presi
dent dovetos great denl of spsep, arguing
that the noeesslty for Ilia induction of the
Urlir Is mere urgent than ever.
" The Inceme el the government," he sayn,

then be confronted with a vast quantity nf

thelr hands, or wn should be drawn Inte

corrupting national doiiuiratlzitleu which

Hut It Is net thn slmpln extent el Ihls sur
plus and tin threatened attendant evlls which
iiirulsh the strongest argument against our
present scale el federal taxation. Its worst
jihase Is the oxactleu or such a surplus
through a porverslnuor the rolatlens between
thn p.xiple and their government and a dan
gerous departure from the rules which limit
the right of federal taxation, Geed govern
ment, and especially the government of
which every Americau cltizen beasts, has for
Its objects, tlie protection or every person
within Us care In tlm greatest liberty consist
ent with tlie geed order of sech-ty and his
iHtrfect security ui the onieymeut of his earn
ings with the least possible diminution for
publle needs. When mere of the eeple's
substance la oxacted through the form of
taxation than Is necessary te meet the Just
obligations of the government nnd the expense
of Its economical administration, such oxactleu
beoemes ruthless extortion and a violation
of Iho fundamental principles el n Troe gov
ernment. The Indirect uianner In which
these oxactleu are made, has a tendency te
conceal their true chnracter, nnd thelr extent
Hut we have arrived at a stagu of superflu
ous revenue which has aroused the poeplo te
a realization of the fact that tlie amount
raised professedly for the support of the
government Is paid by them absolutely, If
added te the prlce of the things which supply
their dally want, as II it was paid at llxed
periods into the hand el the tax-gatherer,
i. a iieu ami siTKnrr.i-efs itKvnNtn:.
ThoHewho tell for dally wages nre begin
ning te understaud that capital, though some
time vnuullng Its Imjiertance nnd clamoring
for the protection and favor of the govern
ment la dull and sluggish, till, teuched by
the msgle.il baud of labor, It springs into ae
tlvlly, lurnUhlng an occasion for federal tax
ation mid gain, the value which enables It te
bear Its burden. And the laboring man Is
thoughtfully Inquiring whether In these cir
cumstances, nnd considering the tribute he
constantly pay Inte the public treasury as
he supplies his dally wants, he receives
his fair share of advantages. Thore Is
also a suspicion abroad that the surplus el our
revenues indicates abnormal and exceptional
business profits which, under the system
which produces such surtilus, Increase with-'
out corresponding benefit te the people at
large, tbe vast accumulations of a few among
our peeple whoe fortunes rivaling the
wealth of the most favored In anti-democratic
nations are net the natural growth of untmdy,
plain and Industrious republic.
Our farmer", tee, and these engaged directly
and Indirectly tn npplylug the products el
agriculture, feu that day by day and as elteu
as the dally WBnts of their households recur
they are forced te pay excessive nnd needless
taxation, while thelr products struggle lu
foreign markets with the competition of
nations which, by allowing n freer oxchange
of production than we ptriutt. enable their
poeplo te sell for prices which distress the
Amer lean farmer.
As every patriotic citizen rejeices In the
constantly Increasing prldoefour poeplo In
American citizenship and In the glory et our
national achievements and pregres, n senti
ment prevails that the leading strings meful
10 a naueu in iu lniancy may wen no te a
great extent discarded In the present stage of
Americau limenuitv. couraee nnd fearless
self reliance.
And for thn prlvilege of Indulging this
sentiment with true Americau enthtiHUsui,
our citizens are quite willing toleregoau
Idle surplus lu the public treasury.
Aud all tbe people knew that the average
rnte of federal taxation upon Imports Is to
day, In tline of peace, but little less, while
upon some artlclta of necessary consumption
it Is actually mere than was Imposed by the
grievous burden willingly borne, at u tlme
when the government neoded millions te
maintain by war the safety and Integrity of
the Union.
It has been the policy of thogevernment te
collect the principal part of its revenues by a
tax upon imports, nnd no change in this
policy is desirable. Hut tbe present condi
tion of atlalrs constrains our peeple te de
mand that by n revision of our revenue laws
tlie rocelpts of the government shall be re
d u cod te the nocessary oxeuo of Its econo
mical administration ; and this demand
slieuld be recognized and obeyed by the
people's representatives In the leglsla'lve
urauch et the government.
IlKADJUHTINO Till; III' KIl.NS.
In readjusting the burdens of federal taxa
tion, n sound publle polley requires that
such of our citizens ns have built up large
and Important industries under present con cen con
dltlenu should net be suddenly, and te their
injury, deprived of ndvautages te which they
have adapted their business ; but it the pub
11a geed requires It, they should be content
with sua i consideration as shall deal fairly
nnd cautiously with their lnterests, while the
Just demand of the poeplo for relief or need
less taxation Is honestly nnswered.
A roasenablo and timely submission te
such a demand should certainly be possible
without disastrous shock te any Interest ;
aud a cneertul concession sometimes nverts
abrupt and beelless action, often the out
growth or lmrullence and delayed Justlce.
Due regard should also be accorded In any
proposed readjustment te the Interests of
American labor, se far as they are lnvolved.
We congratulate ourselves that thore Is
among us no laboring class tlxed within
unyielding hounds aud deemed under all
conditions te the Inexorable fale or dally tell. ,
We recognize tn labor n chief lacter in the
wealth of the republic, and we treat these
who have It In their keeping as citizens en
titled te the most careful regard aud thought
ful attontlen. This, regard and attention
slieuld be awarded them, net only because
labor Is the capital of our werklngmeu,
Justly entitled te Its share of governueut
favor, but for the lurther and net less lni lni
ertaiit reasen that the laboring man, sur
rounded by his family In his humlile home,
as a censumer, is vitally Interested lu all that
cheapens tlie coat of living and enables hi in
te bring within his domestic circle additional
comforts nnd advantages.
This relation or the werklngman te tlie
revenue laws of the country and the manner
In which It palpably Influences tbe question
of wages, slieuld net be forgotten in the justi
fiable prominence given te the proper main
tenance of the supply and protection of well
paid labor. And these considerations
Huggest such an arrangoment of gov
ernment revenues as shall reduce the
expensoel llvlne while It does net curtail
tbe opportunity for work, nor reduce the-j
uoieiensaiion ei American laoer aim in in
grevieusly aiTect lis condition and the dig
nified place it holds in the ostlmatlen or our
people.
I'AItMEKS ASI) ACintCULTUniSTH.
llut our farmers and agriculturists these
who from the soil produce the things con
turned by all are perhaps mere directly and
plainly concerned than any ether of our citi
zens, In a Just and careful system of federal
taxation. These actually enguged In and mere
remotely connected with this kind or work
number nearly one-half of our population.
Nene labor harder or mere continuously
than tbey. Ne exactments limit their hours
or tell, and no interposition el the govern
ment enhauces te any great extent the value
of thelr products. And yet for many of tbe
necessaries and comforts of llfe, which tbe
most scrupulous economy enables them te
bring Inte their homes, and for their Imple
ments of husbandry, ther are obllsed te nav
a price largely Increased by an unnatural profit
which, by the action or the government,
is glven te tbe mere favored manufacturers.
1 recommend that, keeping In view all these
considerations, the Increasing and unneces
sary surplus of national Inceme annually ac
cumulating, be released te the people, by an
amendment te our own revenue laws which
shall cheapen tbe price of the necessaries of
life and gire freer entrance te such Imported

Nothing can he accomplished, hewever, In
the direction el this inuoh-needrd reform,
unleM the subject Is appreached Iln a patri
ots spirit of devotion te the Interest of the
entire country, anil with a willingness te
yield something ler thn publle geed."
While en the subject of tariff and rovenuo,
the president especially direct the attention
et Congress te the recommendation of the
secretary of Iho treasury touching the simpli
fication and amendment of the laws
relating te the collection of rovenuo.
TIIK BII.VKU qtlKSTIOM.
J,cm space lJlovetod!to the silver quostleu
this year than last, but his opposition te com cem com
pulsery colnage U no less proneuncod. The
(llfTercnce In the bullion prlce of the standard
dollar 01 cents when first coined, and Its
bullion value 78 cents en the JSOtli of last
November, certainly docs net indicate, the
president says, that compulsory colnage by
the government, embranccs the prlce of that
commodity, orseuures uniformity In Its value.
He has seen no reason te ohange the views
expressed a year age en the subject of com
pulsory colnage, and again urges Ita suspen
sion en all grounds contained In his former
racominenuatlens, reinforced by the signifi
cant Increase of our cold exportation during
the last year, and fur the further reasons,
that the mero this currency Is distributed
among the people, the greater becemes our
duty te protect it from disaster ; that we new
have an abundance for all our needs, and
that there seems but little propriety In build
ing vaults te atom such currency, when the
el uy prctcuse for Its colnage la the nsoesslty
of Its ime by the peeple as a circulating
medium.
The attention of Congress la cal ed te the
great number of suits In New Yerk, growing
out of conflicting views by Importers and col
lectors as te the Interpretation of our com cem
plex acd Indcfinlte revenue laws, and an
amendment of the laws Is recommended, but
landing such amendment, the present condi
tion of this legislation should be relieved by
the law jwrmittltig the appointment of an
additional federal jmlge tn Xew Yerk whero
these cases have accumulated.
COAST DEFENSE.
Of coast defense and fortifications, the
president says, the defenceless condition of
our tea oeast and lake frontier Is perfectly
palpable, and the work laid out by the beard
of fortlllcatlens Is delayed In default of con
gressional action. The absolute necessity of
our preparation for cfTectucl resistance against
armored ships, and modern steel guns which
may threaten our sea coest cities, Is se ap
parent that he liejics eflocttve steps will te
taken In that direction at once.
The condition of our navy, as shown by the
secretary of that department, should challenge
the oarnest attention of Congress. The pro
duction In the United States of armor and
guii-stccl is a question which It seems
necciuary te settle at an early day If
tlie armored war vessels are te h
completed with tho.se materials of home
manufacture.
In the event that the present Invitation of
the department for bids te furnish such of
this material as Is new authorized, aliall fall
te induce domestic manufacturers te under
take the large ixcndlturcs required te pre
pare for this new manufacture, and as ether
steps are taken by Congress at Its coming
session, the secretary contemplates with dis
satisfaction the necessity of obtaining abroad
the ntiner aud thugun-steel for the authorized
ships. It would seem desirable, the presi
dent adds, that the wants of tlie army and
navy In this regard should be reosenbly met,
and that by Inviting thelr contracts, such in
ducement might be offered as would result In
securing the domestication of these impor
tant Interests.
TUB POSTAL SE11VICE.
1'eital service ailalrs show marked and
gratify lug Improvement during tlie past year;
the Increase of revenue Is In a gaining ratio
ever the Increase, of cost, demonstrating the
sufficiency of the present cheap rates of
postage ultimately te sustain the service.
The differences with certain ocean steamshlp
companies were terminated by the acquies
cence of all in the policy of the government,
thus affording a service generally adequate te
the needs of our intercourse. The question
of establishing ocean jKxstal service te Brazil
and the Argentine Republic is commended te
the consideration of Congress, nnd the suggas suggas
Hen is offered, that as distinguished from a
greater subsidy for tbe mere benefit of day
line, whatever outlay may be required te se
cure additional necessary and prejier uervice,
should be regarded as within the limit of leg
itimate compensation for such service.
The president endorses tlie recommenda
tion of the attorney-gcueral for the erection
of a penitentiary fur the confinement of pris
oners ceuvlcted in United States courts. IIe
considered It a matter of very great Import
ance which should at ouce receive Congres
sional action. More than ene of these insti
tutions might be erected, aud by employing
the prisoners in the manufacture of articles
needed fur use by the government, quite a
large pecuniary benefit would be realized In
partial return for the outlay of construction
The president recommends the repeal
of the pre-emption and timber culture
acts, and that hemstead laws be se
amended as te better secure compliance witli
their requirements of residence, Improvement
and cultivation for llve years from date of
entry, without commutation or prevision for
six'culative relinquishments.
1'EXSIOKS.
Uoferrlng te pensions, the satisfactory
exhlblt of the operations of the pension
bureau during tlie last fiscal year, and te
pension matters generally the president says,
the usefulness and the justlce of any system
for the distribution of pensions depends upon
tlie equality and uniformity of its operations,
nnd as long as we adhere te the princlple of
granting pensions for service aud disability
as the result of the sorvice, the allewance of
tensions should be restricted te cases presen
ting these features. " Every patriotic heart,"
he says, "responds te a tender consideration
for these who, having served their country
leug and well, are reduced te das elatien and
dependence, net as an incident of thelr ser
vice, but with advancing age and misfortune.
We are all tempted by the contemplation of
such a condition te supply relief, and are
e ten Impatient of the limitations of publle
duty. Bowing te no one In the desire te in!
diilge this feeling of consideration, I cannot
rid myself of this convietion that if these cx cx
seldiers are te be relieved, they and their
cauee are entitled te the benefit of au enact
ment, under which relief may be claimed as a
fight, and that such relief should be granted
under the sanotlen of law, net in ovaslen of
tt ; nor should such werkly objects of care,
all equally entitled, be remitted te the un
equal operation of sympathy, or the tender
mercies of social and jielilical inllu inllu inllu
once with thelr unjust discrimination
Of the relations of labor te capital, tlie pres
ident thinks that these difference betwoen
employer and employed reach such a stage
as te result In tlie interruption of commerco
botween the states, the application of arbi
tration by tlie general government might be
regarded as outirely within its constitutional
pewers.
The president recommends as a plain duty
en tbe part of the gevernmen the
peyment of a million and a quarter
dollars due Freedmen's saving bauk de
positors. CIVIL BEHVICE IlEFOKM.
Civil sorvleo reform is the last Important
topic discussed In the message. The con
tinued operatirn of the civil service law, he
asserts, has added tbe most convincing proofs
of its necessity and usefulness. Every pub pub
IIe olllcer who has a just idea of Ids duty te

these who understand it beat, and its warm

The meaning of such restraint and protoo pretoo proteo
tlou la net appreciated by these who want

merit and elllolcney, nor by theso who Insist
that the selection for eueh places should rest

ed thorn te attend te publle business, aud
they mean te the geed isjople of the country
the better crformanee of the work of
the government. It Is exceedingly
strange, the president thinks, tliat tlie
ace) and nature of this reform are
se llttle understood and that se many things
net Included within Its plan are called by
its narae. When cavil yields mero fully te
examination, the system will have large ad ad
dltlens te the number et its friends.
Our civil sorvice reform, the president says.
may tie Imperfect in seme of Its details; it
may be inlsundorateod and opposed, It may
netalwayii be faithfully applied; Its designs
may soinetlmo miscarry through mls mls
take or willful Intent; It may some
times treinble tinder the assaults of
onemles, languish uniler the misguided
zeal of impracticable friends, but If the people
of this country ever submit te the banishment
of ltn underlying principle from theoperatlon
of their government they will abandon the
aurest guarantee of the sifety and success el
Amerlcan Institutions.
In conclusion, he Invokes for this referm
the cheerful nnd ungrudging support of
Congress, urges an increase or the salaries or
the commlsslenots, and expresses the hope
that such reasonable appropriations may be
made as will enable thorn te Increase the
usofuluess of the cause they have In charge.

Urn Writes Naval History Ver The " Century '
and a Heek Fer Houghten, Mlftlln 4 Ce ,
fleth el Which Were Merely the Crest-
lures of Bklllfal Imagination,
The Philadelphia Times of Sunday pub
lishes a startling arllcle en an alleged literary
Imposture which Is ene of the most re
markable In the history of this country. It
will be remomberod that In tbe April (1880)
number of Century thore were published
three articles en the famous Confederate
cruiser Alabama, the picturesque story of
whosedeprodatlons en our commerce, tike tbe
thrilling narrative of her tight with and de
struction by the Kearsarge, will never be for
gotten? The Century articles purported te
be an account of " Llfe en the Alabama,"
" by ene of the crew, 1. D. Haywood, " and
It was ombelllshed with Illustrations on en
gravod by well-known artists after "sketches
by the author," Accompanying it wero the
story el the cruise and combats of the Ala
bama, told by her executive officer, Captain
Jehn Mcintosh Kell, new living In Georgia,
and a description of the great naval duel elf
the coast of France by Dr. Jehn 1L Browne,
then tbe surgeon en beard the Union war
vessel and new resident of Washington,
beating high rank en the medical stair of
the navy.
Of the authenticity of the two latter arti
cles there can be no doubt, but the Timet de
clares that the first was a bold fraud. It at
tracted wide attention from the circle of
readers interested In the subject and evoked
angry retorts from some quarters et the
Seuth and Irem friends of the Semmes' crew,
the admiral's widow herself going se far as
te express doubts it any such Individual as
the purported author of the sketch was ever
ene of her husband's crew, and ether wit
nesses citing the roll of the privateer te show
that no auch name was te be found upon It.
SWALLOWtHO THE STOHY.
The Century swallewed the story and print
ed a biographical account et Haywood and
from the heuse of Houghten, Mifflin &. Ce.,
Bosten, there Issued, June 0, 1SS6, in the
weekly Riverside paper series, Ne. 20, "The
crulse of the Alabama, By One of the Crew,"
wnlch, the publishers' advertisement takes
trouble te explaln, la net the "brief statement"
contributed by lu author, P. D. Haywood, te
tbe Century, but a full report of the Ala
bama's movements, In untranslated "sailors'
language" with niere quotations, "chiefly
from works by theso who can be relied upon
as spokesmen for the men who set the Ala
bama afloat and conducted ber cruise." This
book speedily passed Inte the market,ebtalned
wlde sale and reading contemporaneous
with the Century's publication of the author's
oventful career ; and negotiations were begun
with the publishers ter ether works by the
newly-discovered author en Bubjecta of sea
adventure and kindred topics.
The Times undertakes te prove that Hay
wood was net only net a member of the crew
of the Alabama, but that In his magazine
article and book he makes most conflicting
statement?. Moreover It declares that the
marine romancer Is one of the most daring
and successful criminals In the country. It
charges that he stele In Philadelphia from
Jeshua Searle ? 10,000 In government bends
and In Minneapolis obtained a large sum of
money by forging a mortgage.
IN LANCASTER.
Subsequently, It la aald, this same Hay
wood, traveling under the name of James II.
Horten, swindled Lancaster banks out et
large sums or money. The circumstances
leading te the detection of his forgeries were
these: On June 10th he came te Balr it
Sbenk's bank, whero he had frequent deal.
Ings, and wanted te raise (10,000 en 200 shares
of Philadelphia & Reading railroad stock,
saying that he was doing It ter certain parties
"down below" (in Philadelphia). The cer
tificate of stock he offered was in the name
of T. A. Watts, and was dated June
2d. Majer R. W. Sbenk, of the firm,
was about paying him the meney when,
casually glancing ever the face of the
certificate he notlced that the final "a" In
the word "share" had a slight pen-stroke
drawn through It He called Horten's at
tention te It, who, however, "supposed it
was all right." But the banker expressed
his doubts and fear that there was something
"crooned" about it, as lndeed thore was,
the figures had been "raised" from "1" te
"200."
Then Horten exclaimed: "By Ged, I may
be Imposed upon by the party below. 1 be
lieve you are right and I'll take the train
this afternoon, go te Philadelphia, have it
explained and be here te-morrow with a cer
tificate in iny own name. Keep the money
ler me."
With that he hurried out of the office,
leaving an envelepe containing tlve dollars
with the clerk, who lived near his house,
with the request te give it te his wife for
marketing." Although the banker's sus
picions were aroused, they were net at once
directed te se respectable and responsible a
customer as Horten, whose theory et being
himself the possible victim of a fraud was
readily accepted. The local banker took no
steps In the matter till some hours later,
when he mentioned the circumstance te a
member of the banking heuse of Reed, Me-
Qrann & Ce. The latter at once examined
some certificates et railroad stock upon
which he bad several weeks before leaned
Horten shares ofethtr stock, or about equal
market value, for temporary use, and at once
he detected In them signs or lorgery that
could naturally have escaped anything short
et vigilant scrutiny.
BOLD OPERATIONS.
Twe ether Lancaster banking houses were
seen discovered te have suffered even mero
heavily, and Inquiry disclosed the fact that
Horten bad speedily cenverted about (35,000,
the proceeds of the misuse of bis engraver's
skill and chemical knewledge, Inte geld,
geld certificates and ether mere easily nego
tiable securities. He had en the day he left
Lancaster at once gene te Philadelphia and
hastened te the bank et V. S. Petersen & Ce.,
en Seuth Third street, with whom be had
for some tlme been dealing, having a con
siderable amount en deposit with them. He
new deposited several checks, for heavy
amounts, drawn in his favor by well known
parties, and left. Early next day he called
again aud said that as he intended going te
New Yerk te de a little speculating in stock
he would like them te give him letters of
credit en two geed New Yerk heusaa. This
was promptly done, and he was off ler New
Yerk. There be took his lette; or credit for
(37,000 te Osgood k Ce., en Bread street, and
at the same ti me remarked that he would
probably want te draw the whele amount,
as he was going Inte the street te
speculate a utile, iseiug asiteu wuai
kind et speculation he intended going
Inte, he answered :" buying geld." At the
same time he said that he was In somewhat
or a hurry, as he wanted te leave town as
seen as he could get oil, and therefere asked
Messrs. Osgood it Ce. whether they would net
buy the geld ter him at once. The firm,
however, demurring at such rapid business.
Horten became qulte Indignant, and told
thorn that If tbey mistrusted him tbey bad
hotter telegraph te Drexel & Morgan, in
Philadelphia, aud have the transfer made at
once by telegraph. He Insisted en this, and
coolly Bat down in tbe private office while the
firm telegraphed te Philadelphia and seen
received a satisfactory response, and then
Immediately bought(20,780 In geld notes and
paid It ever te Horten. Noseoner had be re
ceived the money than he lett. And no
sooner had he left than In less than thirty
minutes after this telegram was brought
