ENTfifELfc REPUBLICAN M tFFLI XTCVV flf . XTen:&aj, OeeTr 10, 1ST3. SCHWEIEB, KDrro aaa raopairron. Ihe new Constitution- will be toff i for on the third Teresrfij of December, being the Iftth da of said mcntb. Tfce President Cuban and Financial AOalrft. We publish only that portkm of tie President' Mewats Ithlch relate to fikfi ti9 ..-mch ITaira and fininAiil I - " matter. In order to give it place, we tare been compelled to pas a comma nicatioo from Tacitni against the new . Constitution, an interesting letter fr.im Ueorfra wftb sundry other couimunica- twfiir f nrely of local character. In compliance with the request of Congress I tsntuittd to the Ameri can minister at Madrid witfr rnstroc- i tiont to present to the Spanish govern ment the juint resolation approved on - the 3d of March last, tendtring to the people of Spain, in the name and on behalf of the American people, the . congratulations of Congress upon the t Sorts to cons .Iidate in Spain toe prin- v ciples of onirersa.1 liberty in a re pobli- can f..rtn of government. The exist- ence ot this new Republic was inaugu - rateJ by striking the fetter from the eiaves iu rorio ruco. i u ueneuceui neasare was followed by tbe release of several thousand persona illegally held as slaves in Cuba. Next tbe Captain . Qeucral of that colony was deprived of - tie power to set aside the order of bis superior at Madrid which bad pertain- ed to tbe office since Tbe r quekUred estate of American citixeni, which bad been tbe eitise of long and fruitful eorrespondeoee, were ordered to be restored to their owner. All , these liberal step were taken in tbe face of a violent opposition directed by the reactionary slaveholders' of Ha- . vana, wh are vaiuly atriving to stay the march nf ideas which have termi nated slavery in Christendom, Cuba only excepted. Unhappily, however, 1 Ibis baneful influence baa thus far suc ceeded in defeating the efforts of all liberal minded men in Spain to abolish ' alarery in Cuba and in prevtntiug the promised re&.rtn in that island. Tbe atruggle for political supremacy contin ue there, and tbe pro alavery andaris- ( tocratie party in Cuba is gradually ar- , raining itself in mora and more open boM;!ity and defiance of the home gov- . erntueot, while it still maintains a po litical connection with the Republic in tie Peninsula, aud although u-urping and defying the authority of the home government. Whenever such usurpa tion or defiance tends in tbe direction of oppression or of tbe maintenance of abuse, it is atill a power in Madrid, and is recognixed by the government. Thus an element more dangerous t eontmued colonial relations between Cuba ai.d Spain than that which in spired tbe insurrection of Yara, an ele- . mat opposed to granting any relief from misrule and abuse, with no aspi rations aficr freedom, commanding no sympathies in generous breast, aiming tw rivet still strongei the abackle of aiavery and oppression, ha reixed many of the emblem of power in Cuba, and under profession of loyalty to tbe mother country i exhausting tbe re source of the island, and is doing act . whieh are at variance with those prin ciple of justice, of liberality, and of ' right, which give nobility of character to a Kepubiie. In the interest of hu manity, of civilixation, and of progress, it i t be hoped that tbi evil influence may soon be averted. The steamer Virgicins wa on the 2Gth day of September, IS 70, duly registered at the port ot New York as part of tbe eommeretal marine of the Uuited States. On the I4tb or Octo .: ber, 1870, having received the certifi- cati of ber register in the usual legal form, she tailed from the port of New " . York, and has not since been wit'uin the territorial jurisdiction of the United . S'ate. On the Slst day of October . last, while sailing under tbe flag of the 1Tnited State on the high seaa, she was " forcibly seifed by the Spanish gunboat i Tornado, and was carried into tl.e port f Santiago de Cuba, whete many of . ber passenger aud crew were inha ' wiBBly, and, o far at least as relates to those who were citizens of tbe Uuited State, were, without due process of ' law, put to d:ath. It is a well-estab lisbed i-rinciplo, asserted by tbe United - State frw the beginning of their Da " tional independence, recognized ' by Great Britain and other maritiiae pow- ' ers and stated by the Senate in a res-.- olution parted nuaniuiu.sly on the ICib i -r.f June, 1853, "that Anierieaa vessel ' c the high seas, in time of peace, beai- ing the Amerioau flag, remain under i tbe jurisdiction of tbe country to whieh they belong, and, therefore, any visita ; tiou. moleatstion, or detention of snob - Tcesel by force, or by tbe exhibition of ' f rce, on tho part of a foreign power, it ...in derogation of tbe sovereignly of the United States." In accordance with I tbi priuoiple, the restoration of the . - Virginiuf aud the surrender of tbe ; survivor of ber passengers and crew, . aud a dua reparation to the flag, and " the panisbment of tbe authorities who . bad been guilty of the illegal acts s of vkdeuee, were demanded. The ' SpauUh government baa recognized .' the justice of tbe demand, and ba ar ' ranged for the immediate delivery of t the yetacl aud for tbe surrender of the wurritor of tbe passengers and crw, ' and for a talute to tbe flag, and for pro- ' owedinn looainc to the punishment of tbt? who uijj be proved to hare bfeo ! gnilty of illegal acts of rioleaee to ward eititeos of the 0 sited States, aqd also toward indemnifying those who may be show to be entitled to indem nity. Jt eapj of a protocol of a con ference betweao the Secretary of State and the Spanish n;inister, in which the terms of thii arrangement were agreed to, is transmitted herewith. The cor respondence on this subject with the legation of the United Slate in Mad rid was conducted in cipher aud by ca ble, and needs the verification of the actual text of the actual correspon dence. It hae seemed to me to be doe to the importance of the ease not to submit this correspondence until the accurate text can be received by mail It is expected shortly, and will be sub mitted when received. In taking leave of this subject fir the present, 1 wish to renew the expression of my convie tion that the existence of African sla very in Cuba is the principal cause of the lamentable condition of the iIanJ. I do not doubt that Congress rhares with me the hope that it will soon be made to disappear, and that peace and prosperity may follow its abolition. The embargoing of American estates in Cuba, cruelty to American citizen detected in a:t of hostility to the Span ish government, the murdering of pria- . ,,teu w;tb rm- in their band, 1 ao,t finally, tbe capture upon tbe biich I ieM of , Te8M. 8.iliBg uuder ,ne United sutc, fl,g a01 bearing a United State ; registry, ba culminated in an outburst of ibdignatiou that ba seemed fur a time to threaten war. Pending ntgoti- j ations between the Uuited StaUs and j the government of Spain on the subject J0f x,, c,pture, I have authorixed the Secretary of toe Navy to put our navy on a war footing to the extent, at least, of the entire aunual appropriation for that bransb of tbe service, trusting to Congress snd tbe public opinion of tbe American people to juatify my action. Tbe receipt of the government from all sources, for the last fiscal year, were $333,738,204, and expenditures of all accounts, $290,345,245, this showing an excess of receipts over expenditures of $43,392,959 ; but it i not proba ble that a creditable exhibit will be shown for tbe present fiscal year. In deed, it is very doabtful whether, ex cept with great economy on tbe part of Congress in making apprnpristinns, and the same economy in administering tbe vanoas department of Government, the revenues will not fall short of meet ing actual expenses, including interest on the public debt. I commend to Con gress such economy, and point out two sources where, it seems to me, it might commence, to wit, in the appropriation for public buildings in tbe many cities where work has not yet been com menced ; in the appropriations for river and harbor improvement in those local ities where the improvements are of but little benefit to general commerce, and for fortification. There is a still more fruitful source of expenditure which 1 will point out later in this message. 1 refer to the easy tnethed of manufac turing claim foi losses incurred iu sup pressing the late rebellion. I would not be understood here a opposing the erection of good, snbstantial, and even ornamental buildings by tbe Govern ment wherever such building are need ed ; in fact, I approve of tbe Govern ment owning it own building in all section of tbe country, and hope the day is not far distant when it will not only possess tbem, but will erect in tbe capital suitable residences for all per sous who now receive comma tation for quarters or reut at government expense, and for Coblnet officers, thus setting an exaicple to the State wbi-h may in duce tbem to erect buildings for their Senators ; but I would have thia work conducted at a time wbea tbe revenue of the country wonlJ abundantly jus tify it. The revenues have materially fallen off for the past five month of the present fiscal year from what they were expected to produce, owing to tbe general panic now prevailing, which commenced about Ihe middle of Sep tember lat. The full effect of this disaster, if it should not prove a "hies aiug in duguise,n is yet to be demon atrated. In either event it i yonr duty to heed the lesson and to provide by wise and Well-considered legislation, a far as lie in your power, against it recurrence, and to take advantage of all benefit that may bava accrued. My own judgment i, that however much individuals may bave suffered, ono long step baa been taken toward specie pay ments; that we can never have perm a sent prosperity until a specie basis is reached, and that a specie basis cannot be reached and maintained until our exports, exclusive f gold, pay for our import. Interest due abroad and other specie obligation are to nearly so a to leave an appreciable accumula tion of the precious metais in tbe coun try from tbe product of our mines. The development of the mines of pre cious metal during the present year and tbe prospective development of tbem for year to come, are gratifying in their results. Cnld but one-half of the gold extracted from the wines be retained at borne our advance toward specie payments wouli be rapid. To increase our exports rufficieut currency it required to keep all tbe industries of tbe country employed. . Without thit-, national as well a individual bank ruptcy must ensue.' Undue inflation, oa the other hand, w'jile it might give temporary relief, would only lead to in flatien of prices, the impossibility of competing ia our market for tbe pro-' ducts of borne skill and labor, and re- peated rcsewals of prewnt experiences. Ela.itioity, therefore,- tfftd just enough of it to transact the legitimate baafnesa of the eouotry and to keep a1f indus tries employed, is what is most to be desired. The exact medium is specie, the reeornized medium of specie the world over. That obtained, we shall have a currency of an exact degree of elasticity. If there be too much of . i . r . t lor ine legitimate purposes oi traue auu commerce, it will flow oat of the conn try ; if too little, the rcyefse will be the result. To bold what we have, and to appreciate our currency to that stan dard, l the problem deserving of the most r en on a eoTittderation of Congress. The experience of Ihe present panic has proven that the currency of the country, based as it is upon the credit of the country, is the best that ba ever been devised. Usually, in time of such trials, currency has become worth less, or so much depreciated in value as to inflate tbe value of all the Dc.'sii - ties of life as compared with the cur rency ; every one holding it has been anxious to dispose of it on any terms. Now we witness tbe reverse. Holders of currency board it as they did gold in former exigencies of a like nature. It is patent to most casual observer that much more currency or money is required to transact the legitimate trade of the country dunce; the tall and win ter months, when the va.it crops are I being removed, than dunng the balance of the year. With our present system the amount in the country remains the same thronghout the entire year, re. suiting in tbe accumulation of all the surplus capital of tbe country in a few centre when not employed in the niov i..g of crop. Tempted there by offer. cd ,,ke ,be bode of kin : to " of interest on call loans, interest being I tbt m,n la wtirtew thief, im paid, this .urplu. capital must earn this i P"wued lnonS tLe Ti,e8t of n,en rr interest paid with a profit Being sub ject to "call," it caunot be loaned, or only in part at best, to tbe merchant or manufacturer for a fixed term. Hence ne matter bow much currency there might be ia tbe country, it would be absurd, prices keeping pace with Ihe volume, and panics, stringency, and dis- aster would ever be recurring with tbe utumn Elasticity in our niouetary aystem, therefore, is the object to be attsioed first, and next to that, as war is possible, a prevention of the use of otbet people' money in stocks and other specie of speculation. To pre vent the latter, it seems to me that one great step should be taken by prohibit ing the national banks from paying in terests on d .posits, by requiring tbein to bold then reserve in their own vaults, and by forcing tbem into resumption, though it would only be in legal-tender notes. For this purpose I would sug gest the establishment of clearing houses for your consideration. To se cure the former many plans bave been suggested, most, if not all of which, look to me more like inflation on the one band, or compelling the Govern ment on the other to give interest with out corresponding benefit upon tbe surplus funds of the country daring the seasons when otherwise unemployed. I submit for your cousidetatiou whether thu difficulty might not be overcome by authorizing the Secretary of tbe Treasury to issue at any time to nation al banks of i.aue any amount of their notes below three percentage of their issue, sav forty per cent, upon tbe banks depositing with tbe Treasurer of of the United States an amount of gov ernment bonds equal to the amount of notes demanded, tbe banks to lorfeit to tbe Government, say four per cent, of tbe interest accruing on the bonds so pledged doling the time they so remain with the Treasurer as security for the inci eased circulation, the bonds so pledged to be redeemable by the banks at their pleasure, either iu vrbole or in part, by returning tbeir own bills for cancellation to an amount equal to tbe face of bonds withdrawn. I would further suggest for your consideration the propriety of authorising national banks to diminish their standing issue at pleasure by returning for cancella tion their own bilis and aitbdrawin? so maiiy United States bonds as are pledged for them. In view of the great actual contraction that ba taken place in the currency and tbe comparative contrac tion continuously going on, due to the increase of population, increase of man ufactnre and all the industries, I do not believe that there ia too much of it now for the dullest peroid of the year. Indeed, if clearing-house should be established, thu forcing redemption, it ia a question fur your consideration whether backing s!,ould not be made Tree, rctaioing all the safeguard now required to secure bill bolder In any modification of the present law regu lating national bank as a further step toward preparing for the resumption of pvcie payments, I invite yonr atten tion to tbe consideration of tbe propri ety of exacting from them tbe reten tion, as a part of their reserve, of either the wbole or a part of the gold interest accruing npon the bond pledged a security for their issae. I hare not re fleeted enough on the bearing this might bave ib producing a scarcity of coin with whieh to pay duties oa import to give it my positive recommendation, but your attention is invited to the sub jeL During the last four year tbe currency bag been contracted directly by the withdrawal of three per cent, eectifioatee, compound interest notes, nd 7-30 bond outstanding on the 4th of March, 18C9, all of which took the place of legal tenders in the bank re serves, to the extent of $63,000,000. During the same period there has been a much larger comparative contraction of the currency. Tbe population of tbe country bag largely increased. More than twenty-fivo thousand miles of rai!- mad have btfh built requiring .the ac tive me of capital to operate them. Millions of acrjg' of land have been opened to cultivation,- requiring Capital to move the product. Mannicttorie have multiplied beyond all precedent in the same period of time, requiring cap ital weekly for the payment of wages it 'and for the purchase of rftnlerial and if i t i . t i . .1 .il . r j proDaoiy toe largest ci an comparative contraction arises from the origination of free labor in the South. Kiw every laborer bare reeeivea bis wages, and, for want of savings bauksr tbe greater part of such wage is carried in tbe pocket or boarded until required for u.e. These suggestion are thrown out for your consideration without any recommendations, that tbej shall be adopted literally, but hoping that the best method may be arrived at to se cure such an elasticity of tbe currency as will keep employed all the industries ' oi the country and prevent such an in- flation aa will put off indefinitely the resumption of specie payments, an ob jeet so devoutly to be wished for by all. I and by none aiore earnestly than the j class of people most directly interested those who earn their brad by the I sweat of their brows, l ie decision of j Congress on this subject will have the i bearty support of the Executive. t To record the fact that Willia-n M. j Tweed "te,J" k"own M ,he nj,sler of ,be C,,J of iNcw York' tbe P""""1 m ruo"3 " or"' '"u , gr tf it.
