The President's Message
His Attitude on the Hawaiian Ques
tion, Silver, Pensions, and
the Tariff.
The following are the portions of Pres
ident Cleveland's message, submitted to
Congress Monday, relating to the Hawa
iian question, Silver, Pensions, and the
TajiJ. The whole is too much for us to
pnblibh, and the remainder being bat a
review cf the Departmental reports, is
not of any vital interest to the general
reader:
TIIE IIAVAIIAX Ql'bTIOX.
It is hardly necessary for me to state that
the questions arising from our relations
with Hawaii have caused serious embar
rasnmenL Just prior to the installation
of the present Administration, the ex
isting government of Hawaii had been
suddenly overthrown, and a treaty of
annexation bad been negotiated between
the Provisional Government of the Is
lands and the United States, and sub
milted to the Senate for ratiOcation.
Thia treaty I withdrew for examination
and dispatched Hon. James II. Blount,
of Georgia, to Honolulu as special Com
uiflsioner to make an impartial investi
gation of the circumstance attending
the change of government, and of all
the conditions bearing npon the subject
of the treaty.
Altera thorongh andexbanstive exam
ination, Mr. Blount submitted to me his
report, showing beyond all question that
the Constitutional Government of Ha
waii had been subverted with the active
aid of our representative to that govern
ment, a.nd through the intimidation caus
ed by th presence of an armed naval
farce of the United States, which was
landed for that purpose at the instance
of our Minister. Upon the facts devel
oped, it seemed to me the only honora
ble course for oar Government to pursue
was to undo the wrong that had been
done by those representing us, and to re
store, as far as practicable, the status ex
isting at the time of oar forcible inter
vention. With a view of accomplishing
this result, within the Constitutional
limits of Executive power, and recognis
ing all oar obligations and responsibili
ties growingoutof any changed conditions
brougUt about by our unjustifiable inter
ference, our present Minister at Honolu
lu has received appropriate instructions
to that end. Thus far no information of
the accomplishment of any definite re- j
suits has been received from him.
Additional advices are soon expected.
When received they will be promptly
sent to Congress, together with all other
information at hand, accompanied by a
special Executive message fully detailing
all the facts necessary to a complete un
derstanding of the case, and presenting
a history of the material events leading
to the present situation.
SILVER.
The purchases of silver under the law
of July 14 1S90, during the last fiscal
year, aggregited 54,003,162 50 fine ounces.
wbich cnet $45,531,374.53. The total
amount of silver purchased from the
time that law became operative until the
repeal of its purchasing clause, on the 1st
day of November, 1S93, was 103,674,590.-
4(3 fine ounces, which cost $155,930,940 $4.
Between the 1st day of March, 1H73, and
the 1st day of November, 1S93, the Gov
ernment purchased, under all laws, 503,
003,717 fine ounce of silver at a cost of
lolG.GlMS. The silver dollats that have
been coined under the act of July 14th,
1390, number 3G,07SS5. The seignior
age arising from each coinage was $03,-
777,098.39, leaving on hand in the mints
140,099,760 fine ounces of silver, which
cost $120,753,213.
Oar total coinage of all metals, daring
the last fiscal year, consisted of 97,2$0,
R75 pieces valued at $43,635,173.80, of
which there was $39,033,140 in gold coin,
$5,343,715 in silver dollars, $7,217,22090
in subsidiary silver coin, and $1 ,036,102.
90 in minor coins.
Daring the calendar year 1S92 the pro
duction of precious metals in the United
States was estimated to be 1,596,375 fine
ounces of gold of the commercial and
coinage value of $33,000,000, and P3.000,
000 fine ounces of silver of the bullion
or market value ef $50,750,000, and of the
coinage value of $74,999,900.
It is estimated that on the first day of
July, 1S93, the metalic stock of money in
the United Stater, consisting of coin and
bullion, amounted to $1,213,559,169 of
which $597,697,CS5 was gold and $615,-
SC1.4S4 was silver.
One hundred and nineteen National
Banks were organized during the year
ending October 31, 1893, with capital of
$11,230,000. Foity-six went into volun
tary liquidation and one hundred and
fifty-eight suspended. Sixty-five of the
suspended Banks were insolvent, eighty
six resumed business, and seven remain
in the hands of Bank Examiners with
prospects of speedy resumption.
The recent repeal of the provision of
law requiring the purchase of Silver
bullion by the Government as a feature
of our monetary scheme, has made an en
tire charge in the complexion of our cur
rency affairs. I do not doubt that the
ultimate result of this action will be
most salutary and far-reaching.
Intbenatui" of things, however, it is
impossible to kiow, at this time, pre
cisely what conditions will be brought
about by the chauge, or what, if sny,
supplementary legislation may, in the
light af such conditions, appear to be
essential or expedient. Cf course, after
the recent financial perturbation, time is
necessary for the re-establishment of
businees confidence. When, however,
through , this restored confidence the
money which has been frightened into
hoarding places is returned to trade and
enterprise, a survey of the situation will
probably disclose a safe path leading to
s permanently sound currency, abund
antly sufficient to meet every require
ment of our increasing popu'ation and
business. In the pursuit of this, we
should resolutely tarn sway from allur
ing and temporary expedients, determin
ed to be content with nothing less than
lasting and comprehensive financial
plan. In these circumstances I am con
vinced that a reasonable delay in dealing
with this subject, instead of being inju
rioust will increase the probability 'of
wise action.
The authority cow vested in the Sec
retary of tha Treasury to isau,e bonds is
not as clear as it should be, sad tbs bonds
authorized sue dibadvantageou to th
Government, both as to th time of their
maturity and rate of interest
tde rrxsiox poLitT.
On I SOth day of June, 1S93, there
were on the pension rolls 966,012 names
an increase of 89,944 over the number
on the rolls June 30, 1SV2. Of these
there were 17 widows and daughters of
Revolutionary soldiers, 86 survivors of
the War of 1S12, 5,425 widows of soldiers
of that War, 21,513 survivors snd wid
owsof the Mexican War, 3,S92 survivors
and widows of Indian Wars, 2S4 army
nurses, and 475,545 survivors, widows
and children of deceased soldiers and
sailors of the War of the Rebellion.
The latter number represents those
pensioned on account of disabilities or
death resulting from Army and Navy
service. The number of pen
sions remaining on rolls
Jane 30, 1893, who were pensioned ander
the act of June 27, 1O0, which allows
pensions on acconnt of death and disabil
ity not chargeable to Army service, was
4-59,155.
The number added to the ro!l9 daring
the year was 123,634, and the number
dropped was 33,690. The first payments
on pensions allowed dur.ng the year
amounted to $35,756,549 93. This includes
arrears, or the accumulation between the
time from which the allowance of pen
sion tdates and the time of actually
granting the certificate.
Although the law of 1S9 permits pen
sions for disabilities not related to mili
tary service, yet, as a requisite to its
benefits, a disability must exist incapaci
tating applicant for the performance of
manual labor to such a degree as to ren
der them incapable of self -support.
The execution of this law in iu early
stages does not seem to have been in ac
cord with its true intention, but toward
the close of the last Administration an
authoritative construction was given to
the statute, and since that time this con
struction has been followed. This has
had the effect of limiting the operation
of the law to its intended purpose. The
discovery having been made that many
names had been put upon trie penion
roll by means of wholesale and gigantic
frauds, the Commissioner suspended pay
ments upon s number of pensions which
seemed to be fraudulent or unauthorized
pending a complete examination, giving
notice to the pensioners, in order that
they might Lave an opportunity to et
tablisb,if possible, the justice of their
claims, notwithstanding apparent in valid
ly. This, I understand, U the practice
wbich has for a longtime prevailed in
the Pension Bureau, but, after entering
upon these recent investigations, the
Commissioner modified this rale so as
not to allow, until after a complete ex
amination, interference with the pay
ment of a pension apparently not alto
gether void, but which merely bad been
fixed at a rate higher than that author
ized by law.
I am nnable to understand why frauds
on the pension rolls should not be ex
posed and corrected with thoroughness
and vigor. Every name fraudulently put
upon these rolls is a wicked imposition
upon the kindly senlimenU in which
pensions have their origin ; every fraud
ulent pensioner has become a bad citi
zen ; every false oath in support of a pen
sion has made perjury more common and
false, and undeserving pensioners rob
the people, not only of their money, but
of the patriotic sentiment which the sur
vivors of a war fought for the preserva
tion of the Union ought to inspire.
Thousands of neighborhoods have their
well-known fraudulent pensioners, and
recent developments by the bureau es
tablish appalling conspiracies to accom
plish pension frauds ; by no means the
least wrong done is to brave and deserv
ing pensioners, who certainly ought not
to be condemned to such association.
Those who attempt, in the line of duty,
to rectify these wrongs, should not be

THE TARIFF.
After a hard struggle, Tafia Reform is
directly before us. Nothing so import
ant claims our attention and nothing so
clearly presents itself as both an oppor
tunity and a duty an opportunity to
deserve the gratitude of our fellow-citizens,
and a duty imposed upon us by oar
oft-repeated professions and by tte em
phatic mandate of the people. After full
discaseion, oar countrymen have spoken
in favor of this reform, and they have
confided the work of :'ts accomplishment
to the hands of these who are solemnly
pledged to it.
If there is anything in the theory of a
rep-esentation in the public places of the
people and their desires; if public olficers
are really the servants of the people and
if political promises and professions have
any binding f rce, our failure to give the
relief so long awaited will be sheer
recreancy. Nothing should intervene to
distract our attention or disturb our
effort until this reform ii accomplished
by wise and careful legislalion.
While we should staunchly adhere ta
the principle that only the necessity of
revenue jjustifies the imposition cf Tariff
duties and other Federal taxation, and
that they should be limited by strict
economy, we cannot close our eyes to the
fact that industries have grown up among
us wbich, injustice and fair new, call for
discriminating care in the distribution of
such duties and taxation aa the emergen
cies of our Government actually demand.
Manifestly, if we sre to aid the people
directly, through Taria" Rsform, one of
its most obvious features should be .'a re
duction in present Tariff charges upon
the neceses of life. TbebenefitsofsncL a
redaction won! J be palpable and substan
tial, seen and felt by thousand who
would be better fed, and better clothed,
and better sheltered. These gifts should
be the willing benefactions of a Govern
ment whose highest function is the pro
motion of the welfare of the people.
Not less closely related to our people's
prosperity and well-being is the removal
of restrictions upon the importation of
the raw materials necessary to our man
ufacture. The world should be open
to our National ingenuity and enterprise.
This cannot be while a' Federal legisla
tion, through the i,m position of high
Tariff, forbids to Ate erica a manufacture
as cheap materials as are used by. their
competitors. It is quit obvioaa that tbs
enhancement of the price of oar man
e
ufactured product resu'ting from this
policy not only confines the market for
these products within our own borders
to the direct disadvantage of our man
ufacturers, bat also increases their cost
lo our citizens. The interests of labor
are certainly, though indirectly, involved
in this feature of oar Tariff system. The
sharp competition end active strangle
among our manufacturers to supply the
limited demand for their goods, soon fill
th t arrow market to which they are
confined. Then follows a suspension of
work in the mills and factories, a dis
charge of employes, and distress in the
homes of our workingmen.
Even if the often-disproved eition
could be made gooi that a lower rate of
wages would result from free raw materi
als and low Tariff duties, the intelligence
cf our workii.gmen leads them quickly
to discover that their steady employ
ment, permitted by free raw materials, is
the muet important factor in their re
lalnn to Tariff legislation.
A measure has been prepared by the
appropriate Congressional Committee
embodying Tariff refrom on the lines
herein suggested, which will le prompt
ly submitted for legislative action. It is
the result of much patriotic and unsel
fish work, and I believe it deals with its
subject consistently, and as thoioughly
as existing conditions permit. I am sat
isfied that the reduced Tariff duties pro
vided for in the proposed legislation, add
ed to existing internal revenue titation,
wiil, in the near future, though perhaps
not immediately, produce suliicient reve
nue to meet the needs of the Government.
The Committee, after full consideration,
and to provide against a temporary defi
ciency which may exist before the bus
iness of the country adjosU itself to the
new Tariff schedules, have wisely em
braced in their plan a few additional in
ternal revenue taxe?, including a small
tax upon incomes derived from certain
corporate investments. These new as
sessments are not only absolutely just
and easily borne, but they have the
further merit of being such as can be re
mitted without unfavorable business dis
turbance whenever the necessity of their
imposition no longer exists.
In my great desire fur the success of
this measure, I cannot restrain the sug
gestion that its success cn only be at
tained by means of unselfish counsel on
the part eft he friends of Tariff reform,
and as a result of their willingnef to
subordinate personal desires and am
bitions to the general good. The local
interests affected by the proposed reform
are so numerous and so varied that if all
are insisted upon the legislation embody
ing the reform must inevitably fail.
In conclusion, my intense feeling of re
sponsibility impels me to invoke for the
manifold interests of a generous and con
fiding people, the most scrupulous care,
and pledge ray willing support to every
legislative effort for the advancement of
the greatness and prosperity of our be
loved country.

GENS. CRANT AND LEE.
When the Latter Surrendered
to the Union General.
Work has been finished ou a project
of unusual interest that was undertaken
by the War Department some months
ago, involving the marking of the im
portant sjiots at and around the old Ap
petnattox Court Houe connected with
the surrender ofLee U Grant in 1'5.
Jl.-j )T Davis1, the head of the baxd, has
at la.-t eoccetded in having all the points
of interest at Appomattox marked in a
permanent ruanucr.
This is done by means cf cast iron
tablets that are fastened to iron posts five
feet long. They are sunk into the ground
a suliicient depth to secure stability, and
bear the tablets, which are about three
feet long by two high, in a slanting poi
tiou, on a line with the eye. The letters
are 2j inches high and stand out in good
relief so that they can be read some dis
tance off. A contrast in black and w hite
paint gives them great legibility.
The tablets start at the station where
the new court bou.se is now located.
About half way to the"STte of the surren
der is the first marking tablet, announ
cing: Hia this spot were established the
headquarters of Lieutenant General l".
S. Grant, U.S.A., on the afternoon if
April 9, 1 $;."
The next in order almgthe road is the
met interesting, reading thus :
"This tablet marks thesite of the house
owned and occupied by Wilmer McLean
in which General I". S. Grant, U.S. A,
and General Bobert E. Lee, C. S. A., met
and agreed upon the terms of surrender
of the Army of Northern Virginia, on the
afternoon ci Sunday. April 9, Lvj5. Trie
house was taken down and removed to
Waiiinton, l. C, in
There is a curious anachronism in this
tablet that will be rectified liter. When
the McLean house was taken down, it
was thought that it would be taken to
Chicago, but the plan of the synJica'e
thai purchased the entire site of the
surrender wasch.icg.id and it was decid
ed lo remove the builJin,; to Washing
kin. Up ta date, however, the material
has net been removed, though the house
ha lietn taken down. Thus the table-1
is not quite cornet, bat if the material is
not taken awity eoon a new tablet will le
cast that will te accurate.
A few rods farther up the road the vis
itor comes upon the site of the old court
bustse, the story f which is to! I in the
third tjMet, thus:
' i I ere d Appoina'.iot courthouse;
built bnrned 1V2."
The ruins of the old building are still
to be seen.
.n the mcrnin fi llowing the meeting
between the generals in the McLean
house, both of them started out from
their respective headquarters and rode
on horseback down the side ef the roaJ,
w hich w as very muddy, fur the pnrricse
of a farther interview. They met about
half way at a spot a little north of the
court house, on the Wt side of the roaJ.
Here is a tablet erected to this effect :
"On this spot Lieut. Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, U. S A., and Gen. Robert E. L?e,
C. S A., met on the morning of April
10, 1-V
At a point j'i-t in front cf Mr. Peers'
house, and almost acros the road from
the meeting place cf tLe two generals is
a tablet as ful'ows:
""Near this point was established the left
flank of the first division of the tilth j
corps, A i my of the Potomac, oa the morn- j
in;; of April 11, l.v, 5, to receive the sur
render ot the arms of the int'.iutry of the
Army of Northern Virginia." j
A simiiiar tablet marking the lxation
of the right flank of thedivision isplaut
ed about 2') yards farther north.
The interesting question of the spot
from w hich was tired the la-t shot of
this remarkable campaign is settled by
the location ufa-tablet at a joint east
from the read, about a h.m lrt-d yards
distant and half as far behind t ie lers
house, w hich rea Is :
"From this spot was fired the last shot
from the artillery of the Acnry of N jrth
eru Virginia, on the morniug of April '.,
l.W
Immeduttefy after the surrender the
famous apple tree that figured so largely
in the transaction was dug up by soldiers
who sw its ijiiuva value as a relic.
They went down several feet ia order to
secure the roots intact. The site of tLU
tree is therefore ail that cau be marked
to-day. It stood a few yards west o the
road, and 4') yards or so north cf the
court houe. The tablet that has been
placed there bears this io-icriptioa :
"Near this spot stood the apple tree
udcr which Gen. Robert E. 1.4e reted
while awaiting the return of a fhi? of
tttioesent by turn to Gen. U. S. Grant on
the morning of April 9, ltio."
It is thought that the stue of the fir
render, now that it has been accurately
marked, will bejl.e objective poial of
many trip by veterans cf the war, who
take such a great interest in the geo
graphy of the scenes of the great rebel
lion. A Great Inventio t.
