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.
