Ubbtlkmbx : Yeu oeme together under
favorable anaplees. The oemmooweslth

within seventeen hundred of one million,
being about one hundred thousand la ex

If net quite equal te, Ave millions.
Plenty orewna tbe year which has Juit
eleaed. Agriculture hae been rewardea by
genereua returna from the aell, In greater
degree than In tOTeral yeara peat The
output of our tnlnee haa steadily increased.
We easily bold our place in tha front rank
of theprodueeraef oeal and Iren. Tba busy
hum of Industry haa indicated the oentent
or employment,even It manufacturers have
been denied a fairly profitable return.
Internal and lnterttate oemmerce ahew In
creased and increasing tonnage, and glTe
employment te oemtautly lnereaalng num
bers. The growth of our railroad system,
although oheeked in aeme directions, haa
been healthy and rigorous elsewhere, and
baa tended te the development of our vast
reaonreea heretofore untouched. New
territory far the production of oil and
natural gas has been discovered and opened
up. Tee utilization of natural gaa and of
tba vast accumulations of culm In the an an
tbraelte oeal regions, and tbe development
of new bituminous oeal fields In several
puts of the state, have proved of great
advantage te our manufacturing ludusirlee
In all portions of tbe commonwealth, and
offer superior attractions te these desiring
te locate new manufacturing Industrie,
especially aueb aa relate te the manufacture
of Iren and tbe preducta thereof.
The vigorous growth and healthy devel
opment of tbe smaller elties, indicated by
lncreaaed attention te the paving of atreeta
and tbe introduction of eleotrie meter, and
horse railways, are evldeneea of general
thrift and commendable enterprise.
industrial Ibrllt haa been bnt slightly
retarded by strikes and lookouts, dsstruo dsstrue
Uve alike te all tbe intereeta effected
thereby, and an Increasing disposition be
tween tbe wager-earner and tbe wage
payer te oensuit before differeneee arise,
and te arbitrate after tbey have risen, gtvea
premise of mere esllsfaotery results in this
direction In tbe future.
The health of our people baa been gener
ally geed. Ne serious general epldemiea
have prevailed, increasing attention te
sanitary precaution as a means of prevent
ing the Inception and spread of epidemic
dlseuer, end the valuable suggestions and
praotleal work of the state beard of health
in this direction may, In part, account for
tbla gratifying condition of public health.
Oar cattle have been usually free from
contagious diseases.
Lawlessness hsi bJen minimized and
repreated, and the publle peaoe nowhere
aerieusly threatened. .
Yeu come, therefore, te the discbarge of
your duties es tbe promoters and conserva
tors of the publle welfars at a goodly time.
It la net lutended by this brief eurvey te
oenvey the impression that there are no
evils te remedy and no benefits te be con
ferred upon tbe pseple of tbe common
wealth by tbelr obeseu representatives In

tbe favorable condition of affairs which
confronts you will enable you te give
intelligent and serious attention te many,
subjects el Internal polley and con

propriate legislation. Yeu are solely respon respen
slble for the. lawe wbleh are enaeted. Yeu
come fresh from your saversi constituen
cies with a knowledge of tbelr wants and
desire. Yen are te meet theee wants and
gratify these desires, te far aa the constitu

Uresis of tbe whole people, and tba re re re
eoeroee of the commonwealth will allow.
it la aet the intention, nor tbe desire, of lb
executive te Interfere In anv way with your
funotlensaa lawmakers. It ta hie Inten
tion te confine himself etrietly te the con cen con
atitutlenal command that " He shall from
time te lime give the general assembly In
formation of the etate of the oemmon wealth,
and reoemmend te their consideration aueb
measures as be may judge expsdlent "
CONSTITUTIONAL AMEXDMKNTM.
Your Immediate predecessors, by two
aeveral joint resolutions, took the first step
la eubmltlleg te a voteef tbe people amend
mania te the constitution el the common
wealth ; the first of said resolutions, ap
proved the tenth sy of February, 1887,
proposing te prohibit by constitutional
aaaetment the manufacture, ealeer keeping
for aale, of any Intoxicating liquor te be
need aa a beverage ; and tbe second provid
ing for tbe amendment of tbe first section
of the elghtb artlele of the constitution relat
ing te suffrage, abolishing tbe payment of a
tax aa a qualification for voting, reducing
tbe minimum residence in me dlstrlet
where the eleoter eilers te vote from two
months te thirty clays, and extending tbe
suffrage te oltlzensaetually engaged in mili
tary aervlee and te tbe Inmates of any home
for disabled soldiers and sailors in the dls dls
treot where aald home U located.
In regard te the first of theae resolutions,
It may be confidently said that very many
people of tbe commonwealth desire te vote
directly upei It They should have an
opportunity se te de; and In order that sueh
aa opportunity may be afforded, at a time
when no ether consideration than tbe direct
question Involved can bits tbe mind, It la
recommended that tbe resolution be pasaed
Sr the present Legislature aa esrly aepoaet aepeaet
e, and that a time be fixed for a epeelal
auction -say In tbe month of May or
June at whleh the people may record their
verdict tnereupen.
The amendment proposed In tbe second
Of said resolutions seems te meet with gen gen
eral approval, and might be aubmltied at
the same time. .......
Tha governor tben refers te tbe legisla
tion of tbe session of 1837. Tne epproprta eppreprta epproprta
Ueoa amounted te 117,000,000; and the
estimated rceelpte being less than 115,000.000,
the governor, te bring the expenditure
down te about the reaeluts, reiuied te ap
prove the appropriation le enlarge the
PAiledelpbla Heuse of Keiuge.

several revenue laws or this common cemmon commen

In sems of Its provltlene it was net be

It was regarded aa pwlttvely faulty, and In
some respects its tendency was te diminish

proposed, and if It oeuld be put Inte Imme
diate operation, with sueh atnsndmsnts s

foundation of a wise and comprehensive
revenue system.
HOT MUCH CHAMQB NKOKSSAltY.
Without dlrcusslng either of the mess
uree above referred te, it may be staled as
a ssfe general preposition that the lees In
terference with our existing revenue lawe,
exeeptlng te remedy certain defeeta pointed
out by the courts In reeent decisions, end
te extend the operation of tha law se aa te
bring within iia grasp all personal property
Intended te be taxed under exlstlus legis
lation and tbe requirements of the consti
tution, tbe better it will be for tha revenues
of the oemmoaweslth and ether Intereete
which seriously oemplaln of burdens tee
great te be borne.
The governor believes It may be prudent
te adhere te the revenue sat of 1870, because
a new law may net receive Judicial sanction.
If what is known as tbs capital ateck tax
wars levied upon the actual value of tbe
stock taxed, Instead of under tbs dual
arrangemente provided In tbe second sec
tion of the set sbeve referred te, and If whet
Is known ss tbe leai.s tax ware levied upon
tbs ee'.usl vslue of tbe securities sought te
be taxed, manyoftbedlfflcniueeeomplalaed
of and whleb are new undergoing Judicial
examination might, It la believed, be hepplly
removed and our revenues rendered much
mera etabla, with a obanee for Increase
rather then decrease.
The expenses connected with the collec
tion of what la known as tbe personal prop
erty tax are onerous. It ta believed that if
this tax were divided ee aa te give one mill
thereof te tbe municipality making tbe col
lection, In lieu of alt expenses oennected
therewith, inueh d I ill cult y would be obvi
ated, mere revenue would be reeelved by
the commonwealth, and an inducement
held out te the local authority making tha
collection te bring within tbe grasp of tba
law much properly whleh atpreaentce atpreaentce
eapee taxation. This subject deserves care
ful consideration at your hands.
Tha Legislature ha, at different times
and in various ways, attempted te exempt
eertaln clawea of property from the general
operation of our revenue laws. Tbs con
stitution expreesly limits the power of the
Legislature in thle direction.
What ie property T A plain, simple,
oemmon sense snswer te this queetleu will
undoubtedly point out tbe blgnwey which
tbe legislature must fellow in dealing with
the whole aubjict of revenue, It the plain
Intent of tbe oenstliutlun le te be obeyed.
Tbe exemptions boretefore attempted have
been made net only without authority, but
are, tbe constitution says, absolutely void.
If, in addition te the simple changes In tbe
sat of 1870 asevs referred te, prevision
were made fer-lM collection of taxes from
these several species of property declared te
te be exempt by tbe legislature, and aueb
es ars In .effect exempt because net men
tioned in existing Legislation, we would
have ample livenne for all tbe or
dinary purposes of tbe commonwealth,
and oeuld extend yet furtber lb different
directions the spproprlstlens wbleh tend te
tbe Immediate relief of tbe real estate of
our eltlzens. Let tbe full and fair Intent of
tbe constitution be carried out In tbe direc
tion Indicated, wltb no mers than the pres
ent moderate rate of taxation provided for
in existing laws, snd it Is believed that
Immediate relief would be experienced by
these who rightfully oemplaln of burden burden
sems local taxation. A general Inquiry
addressed te sll tbe eltlee snd counties
of tbs commonwealth has elicited tbe
knowledge of a condition of affair,
se fsr aa local taxation Is oecotrned,
wbleh will be ss great a surprise, no
doubt, te tha Legislature, ss It wss te
tbe executive. Tne roil estate of tbe com
monwealth is taxed In tbe various clttea
aad counties thereof at istee varying from
sixty mills, which Is probably tba highest,
te twelve mills, whleh Is probably tbe
lowest Tbe blgbsst rate, unfortunately,
prevails In these oeuntles where the people
ere lesst able le bear It Admitting, ss It
probably abeuld be admitted, that tbe
ssseesment Is mads at 1 litis mere then hslf
tbs value of tbe real estate aaeessed in many
localities, it Is nevertheless true that
we are allowing, under our pres
ent laws, tbe taxation of thete
least able te bear sueh a burden at the
rale of from six te thirty mills upon every
dellar'e worth of value, whilst wa ere si
lowing millions of oerporste property te
esesps taxation altogether, end imposing
upon personal property, whleh yields
greater returns tbsn reel estate, only from
ensbslt te one tenth of the burden of
taxation borne by the Isttsr. Is It net,
therefore, true tbsteur farming popnlstlen
and ths owners of medeat homesteads have
a right te oemplaln? Is It net also true
that, In our efforts te prevent money from
aeeklng Investment outside of tbe common
wealth, we are driving men from home T
Men are mere essential te the life of tbe
commonwealth tban money. They can
make money, but money can never make
men.
PBBSBNr CONDITION OP TUB rtBVKKUE,
Yeu will learn Irem the report of tbe
attorney general, aa you have doubtless
heretofore learned from the publle prtntr,
that tbe supreme court of the United States,
In several well considered opinions two
of tbem In eases removed from our own
oenrts bss decided that what is known as
tbs gross receipts tax, se fsr st leset as It
relates te commerce carried through tbla
state, from another stats into this state, or
from this state Inte another stats, is net
subject te taxation, being an interference
wltn commerce between tbe states, and
therefore in violation of tbe otaititutlen.
This decision has very seriously crippled
our revenues during the last two years,
tbs less for the present year amounting te
about 800,000. Tbla less threatened
serious disturbance te the treasury and
Ita ability te meet ordinary obligations.
Thanks te the effielenl sad snsrgetle d
ministration of the auditor generai'a efflee
and tba active oeoperetion of tbe attorney
generai'a offlee, and through the forbearance
el the cflleers entrusted with the sutberlty
te drsw warrants upon the treasurer, no
S roper demand baoked by a legal warrant
aa been ignored or postponed by tbe
treasurer. In doing this, however, It must
be remarked that all our reserves bsvs
been exhausted. Unsettled cases upon tbs
books of tbs auditor general have beea
pressed te eettlement or collection, and It la
believed that thers sre net es much as
1125,000 of unsettled clslms ntT7 pending in
tbe auditor generai'a oniee. At no time
during the last year baa there been any
diversion from the general te tbe Bin king
fund, by reason of tbe balance la tbe
treasury at the end of any qur.ier being la
exeees of tbe smeunt required by law. Yeu
srs rsspeetfully referred te the reports of
the auditor general and of the elate treas

but lassmueh ss no eevmants hats bwa

te presume that the eoeimonwralth

celed tbe debt statement would, undoubt undeubt
edly, mere correctly represent tbe actual
facte. It will be observed tbet no portion
of tba publle debt le presently payable,
except by and with tbe cencent of the

Eir eent lean, authorized by act of 20th of

in tbe year 1892. Toe cash balance in tbe
sinking fund and tbs bends of the United
States held therein, whleb can be sold at
any time, are mere than sufficient te nay
tbla balance new. Tbe oammleatenere of
tbe sinking fund have endeavored te pur
chase these bends by psyieg a reasonable
premium therefer, but many are held by
trustees and conservative individuals te
whom the premium is no inducement te
sell, snd their efforts In this direction seem
te hsvs soeompllsuad all that Is st preeent
attainable. It is difficult upon any known
business principles te soeount for tbe fact
of the refusal of the holders of these bends
te accept the full fsee value thereof, with
eight or ten per eent premium, In view of
tbe eertalnty of tbelr payment some three
yeare bene?.
The' governor calls attention te tbe pas
sage by Congress of tbe direct tax bill, and
aaye it will return marly a million dellats
te Pennsylvania's treasury If It becomes s
Isw.
1NDUSTBIAL EDUCATION.
Industrial education meeta the hearty
approval of the governor. He outlines tbe
work done by s commission appointed te
Investigate tba subject, end egrets with tbe
reoemmeudkttous it makes te the Legisla
ture. Your Immediate predeofssers extended
tbe minimum of the sobnel yesr te six
months. This Is, perhaps, as far salt would
be well te go In tbls dlreotlen. Tbe Im
provement in our eoheol system required
for te dey is net mere time for eoheol, but
mere Instruction In aueb branebea ss lend
te fit men and women for tbelr iegltlmate
place In practical everydey life. If we srs
te attempt anything like a general Intro
duction of manual training In tbeaobeola
In tbe near future, we must first teaeb tbe
teaebers. Te de this, our normal schools
must be prepared le equipment and In
structing force for the demands whleh will
be made upon them.
There exist, under tbe law regulating
their organlcttlen, thirteen nermsl eoheol
district, it is tee lata at tbls day te dlacnas
tbe propriety of fewer nermsl schools.
What we hsve should be strengthened end
fitted for doing thorough work. In ad
dition te the Industrial training, a thorough
course of instruction, involving a knowl
edge of tbe fundamental law of the state
snd nation, aud of tbe duties of citizenship,
should be Insisted upon as a necessary pari
of tbe equipment of every teacher In tbe
commonwealth.
Tbe school dlroetora throughout tbe
commonwealth are required, enes in
three yeare, te attend a conven
tion, held at the county aeat of
tbe several ecuntlee, for tbe election or a
county superintendent Tbey ere also ex
pected te attend tbe aeaalens of tbe annual
county Institute, at least for one day.
Would it net be both wise and Just te give
eutberlty, by prevision of law, te school
directors te charge tbelr setusl, necessary
expenaea In attending tbeie meetings, te
tbelr respective constituencies, whom tbey
serve without compensation T
Closely silted te tba general subjcet of
education, ta that of the care and education
of the ehlldren gathered in our soldiers'
orphans schools. On ths 1st of June, 1890,
there will be left under tbe esre of the state
and undergoing education In her soldiers'
erpbsn schools, 1,649 children, wbeee eges
will range at that date from five te fifteen
yeer. Forty five of tbem will be eight
yeara old snd under, and 867 of them fifteen
yeers of sgr.
It la believed tbat the people of tbe com
monwealth expeet and Intend that tbeee
children shall be maintained st tbelr ex
pense. Hew ebsll tbls be done, if done st
sll 7 Tbe remainder could be eared for in
exletlng cobeole, tbe "umber thereof being
diminished year by year until, aay In June,
1895, only ae many children would remain
aa could be easily transferred te and cared
for in hemea whleb are eitabllabed and on en
ducted by churches or charitable organiza
tions. Tbla wruld be a simple and easy
mode of disposing of the children slra&dy
under the care of tbe commonwealth.
Demand is made, however, In many
quarters for tbe reepf-nlng of the doers of
tnese eobeolr, se tbsttbe ehlldren of de
serving men, wbe eerved tbelr country
faithfully end have since died, might be
admlt'ei te the etme prlv;legee wbleh
hsve been eej-iyed by theee wbe were left
in like oenditlon in former yesrs. It is
dlflleult te see wby sny distinction should
be made among these children. These
who sre orphans new, are as needy and sa
deserving aa these who reeelved tbs
benefits of the system ten yeara or mere
ego. Would it be possible te care for tbe
enlldren remaining in tbe schools en the
first of June, 1800, between the sges of eight
snd fifteen years, in, or in connection with,
our stste nermsl schools T
AORICULTUBAI, INTERESTS.
Commending tbe work of tbe state beard
of agriculture, snd espeelslly the holding
of institutes ter tbs dlkcusaloe of practical
questions, be notes that tbe agricultural
experiment station bas been fully manned
and equipped under tbe 115,000 appropria
tion made by tbe government of tbe United
btatea te stations already established. Tbe
governor ie hopeful tbat tbe free dissemi
nation te sll spplleanta of ths results there
reached ttreugb experiment, may de much,
for agriculture. Uuildlegs and eqlpment
needed must b) lurnlshud by the state.
Neighboring states having complained tbat
tbey oeuld de nothing te stamp

quarantine was established around Pbtla
uelnbla and a tboreugb inspection wes car
ried en ter mentbe without the discovery
of aay well defined and clearly developed
cases. A number of cattle were killed
under tbe extatenee of auspicious symp
toms. Tbe work bas been carefully done,
end is s gratifying tribute te tbe thorough
ness wltb whleb our own work, undsr
slats laws, has been heretofore conducted.
A proclamation baa lately been Issued
BbellsbluK the quarantine, and It maybe
meat confidently elated tbet no contagious
disease exlite In epldemle form within tbs

Pennsyivsnla, ae far aa is known.
Pennsylvania cenaumts from 250,000,000
te 300,000,000 pounds of sugsr suuually.
At a low estimate tbe eugar con
sumed within our borders oests our
pteple 116,000,000 each year, lie suggests
tbat it would ee wie eoenomy en tbe part
of Pennsylvania either te otter a bounty

The BulteUn of the American Iren and
Steel association In Its Isat Issue revlewe
tbe Iren trade nf tbe oeuntry for tbe past
year ss fellows!
Ths past yesr has been one of lessened
aetivlty in tbe iron trade of this oeuntry as
compared with 1887, but If mere production
be considered it will te found, wltb one
Important exception, te have been fully as
aetlv e a year ae 1886, whleh waa the mett
productive year in our Iren history except
18S7. Beth 1880 and 1887 ware booming
years for the American t tea trade, but the
Isttsr wss net only mere productive then
the former, bat It wss also a mera prosper
ous yesr.
Our total production of pig Iren In 1886
was 6,083,320 gres tens ; In 1887 It wss
6,417,148 teus ; in 1880 it hss beea in exeees
of tbe production of 1880, snd Is probably
ab:ut 0,000,000 tens. Ths decrease In 1888
bas been altogether In Bessemer pig Iren.
Oar production of Bessemer steel rails In
1886 wss 1.674,703 gross tens In 1887 It wss
2.101,904 tens ; in 1888 It bas besti about 1,'
360,000 tens, whleh Is a grsat shrinkage as
oempared with 1887, and Is considerably
below tha production of 1886. Thle le tbe
exoeptlen te the aetivlty of 1880 whleb Is
above meutiened, and It has grsat signifi
cance. In the production of bar Iren and plats
and sheet-Iren, and In tha sggrsgsta pro
duction of out and wire nails, tbe figures
for 1888 will net vary greatly from these for
1886, while our production of etruetural
Iren and steel wss greater la 1888 than in
1886, and probably gresfer tban In 1887.
Thle oeuntry bas In lata yeere developed a
large demand for Iren and' steel for ail
structural purposes, particularly In the
ereotlen of publle buildings.
Tbe consumption of Iren and steel In the
United Btstee In 1888 was muen less tbsn
tba estimated figures of production wbieb
we have given would Indicate. While our
Importations of iron and stsel In 1888 were
neerly, It net altogether, 050.000 gross tens,
tbey nevertheless fell fsr below tne Impor
tations of 1887, which reached tbe enormous
sggregsteef 1,783,261 tens. Wltb reduced
firoduetlon and reduced Importations of
ren and steel, exact figures ler neither of
whleh will for sems time be eoeosslble, we
hsve esttmated from such dsta ss srs st
hand tbst enr consumption of pig Iren In
1888 bas fallen fully 600,400 tone as oempared
with 1887, and our consumption of steel
