A happy surprise it was to Mr. A. R.
Norton, of Bristol, Conn., when athlophoros
put him on hu feet, and sent him cheerfully
about hla business. Let him tell his own story :
"About three weeks ajo I was taken
with a severe crick in the back. For fonr days
I was unauld to turn in bed without help, and
when lifted up could not stand on my feet. I was
Induced to try AmLOPHoaos. after all the usual
remedies failed. In 30 minutes after taking tbe
first dose I could bear my weijrht upou my feet.
In two day I wa able to get about and attend
to business. In two other canes which have
come to my knowledge it us baa beeu attended
with the came results."
A poor man in Philadelphia ha 1 to bor
row a dollar to buy a bottle of Athiophoko.
On account of his poverty his name shall remain
a secret. U had Buffered terribly from Klieu
maUsrn. Be gratefully writes:
I took my first dos Tuesday afternoon,
and on Weduemlay, after but seven dosea. I ha J.
not a sharp or severe ache left. Then I reduced
the dose one-half and took the remainder of the
bottle. I was able to be eteady at work till Sat
urday, when I took a severe eold and was uu
able to use my left hu I. I iuin.-lia.wj another
bottle and by bed-time I found relief. The
medicine is all you claim for it."

TIIE MESSAGE.
THE IXDIAXS.
The reports of military commanders
show that the last year has been made
notable for its entire freedom from
Indian outbreaks. In defiance of the
President's proclamation of July 1.
1881, certain intruders sought to make
settlements in the Indian Territoi y.
They were promptly removed by a de
tachment of troops. During the past
session ci Congress, a bill to provide a
suitable fire-proof building for
THE ARMY 3IEDICAL MUSEUM
and the library of the Surgeon Gene
ral's ottiee received the approval of the
Senate. A similar bill reported favor
ably to the House of Representatives
bv one of the committees, is still pend
ing before that body. It is hoped that
during the coming seas'.on the measure
may become a law, and thereafter im
mediate steps may be taken to secure a
place of safe deposit for these valuable
collection now in a state of insecurity.
I.VTEIIXAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The fund with which the works for
the im rovement of rivers and harbors
were prosecuted during the past year
were derived from the appropriations
of the act of August 2, lss2, together
with such few balances as were on
hand from previous appropriations.
The balance in the Treasury subject to
requisition July 1, 18S3 was 10,U1,61(.
oo. The amount appropriated during
the tiscal year LSS4 was $l,aU).tVU,(iL7,
and the amount drawn from the
Treasury during the tiscal year was
$S..,s,7ii;.o4, leaving a balance of $3,
112,5Su.M in the Treasury subject to
requisition July 1, hssl.
The Secretary of War submits the re
port of the Chief of Engineers as to
the practicability of protecting our
important cities on the seaboard by
FORTIVICATION'S AND OTHER DE
FENSES able to repel modem methods of at
tack. The time has now come w!?n
such defenses can be prepared with
confidence that they will not prove
abortive, and wheu the possible result
of delav in making such preparation is
seriously considered, delay seems inex
cusable. For the most important
cities, those whose destruction or cap
ture would be a national humiliation,
adequate defenses inclusive of guns
may be made by the gradual expendi
ture of $80,000,000, a sum much less
than a victorious enemy could levy as
a contribution. An appropriation of
about one-tenth of that i mount is
asked to begin the work, and I concur
with the Secretary of War in urging
that it be granted. The War Depart
ment is proceeding with the conversion
of ten-inch smooth-bore guns into
eisht-inch rifles by lining the former
with tubes of forged or of coiled
wrought iron. Fifty guns will be thus
converted within the r.n . This", how
ever does not obviate the necessity of
providing means for the (instruction
of guns of the highest p iwef. both
for the purposes of coat uefense and
fir the armament of w;;r vessels.
MANUFACTURE W OltPNAN'CK.
The report of the littd l'btiiidry
Board appointed April 2. ir-w; Hi' pur
suance of the act of March; iss:5, was
transmitted to Congress in a special
message of February 8, t. in my
message of March 23, ls-vl. i called
attention to the recommendation of the
board that the Government should en
courage the production bv private steel
works of the required - material' , for
heavy cannon, and that two Govern
ment factories -one for the army -and
one for the navyshould be establish
ed for the fabrication of guns from
such material. No action having been
taken the board was subsequently re
convened to determine more, fully the
plans ana estimates necessary tor car
rying out its recommenJ.it ions. It has
received information which indicates
that there are responsible steel manu
facturers in this country who, although
UDt at present provided with the neces
sary plant, are willing to construct the
same and to make bids for contracts
with the Government for the supply of
the requisite material for the heaviest
guns adapted to modern warfare, if
guaranteed orders or sutticient magni
tude, accompanied by a positive appro
priation extending over a series of
years shall be made by Congress. All
doubts as to the feasibility of the plan
being thus removed, 1 renew my re
commendation that action be taken by
Congress as will enable the Govern
ment to construct its own ordnance
upon its own territory, and so to pro
vide the armaments demanded by con
siderations of national safety and
honor.
THE NEW STKKI. CRUISERS.
The report of the Secretary of the
Navy exhibits the progress which has
been made on the new steel cruiser?
authorized by the acts of August 5,
1SS2 and March :t. ls3. Of the four
vessels under contract, one the Chica
go, of 4,"(0 tons, is more than half
finished; the Atlanta, :J,0OO tons, has
been successfully launched and her
machinery is now iittins; the ltoston,
also of rt.uoo tons, is re.Jy for launch
ing, and the Dolphin, a despatch
steamer of 1j0o tons, is ready foi
delivery.
Certain adverse criticisms iijion the
designs of these cruisers lire discussed
by the Secretary, who insists that the I
correctness of the conclusions reached
by the Advisory Hoard, and by the de
partment, has been demonstrated by
recent development in ship-building
abroad.
THE MONITORS.
The machinery of the double-turret-ed
monitors. Puritan. Tenes and
Ampnitrite, contracted f r under Act
of March :. ins:;, is in process of con
struction. No work has been done
during the past year on iheirarnior. for
lack of the mcessary appropriations.
A fourth monitor, the Moiiadnock, still
remains unfinished at the Navy Yard
in California. It is recommended that
early ste ps be taken to complete these
vessels, and to provide also an arma
ment for the monitor Miantonomah.
The recommendations of the Naval
Advisory board, approved by the de
partment, comprise the construction .f
one steel cruiser of 4.600 tons, and one
cruiser of 3,000 tons, two heavily-armed
gunboats, one light cruising gunboat,
one despatch vessel armed with
Ilotchkiss cannon, one armored ram
and three torpedo boats. The general
designs, all of which are calculated to
meet the existing wants of the service,
are well advanced, and tho construc
tion of the vessels can be undertaken
as soon as you shall grant the necessary
anthoritv.
THE AKLTIU fcXl'EDlTieXS.
The art of Congves approved Au
gust 7. 1vm. authorized the removal to
the United- States of the bodies (
Lieutenant Commander George W.
Delong and his companions of the
Jeannette expedition. This removal
has been successfully accomplished by
Lieutenants Harbef and Schuetze.
The remains were taken from their
grave in the Lena Delta in March, 1883,
and were retained at Yakutsh until the
following winter, the season being too
far advanced to admit of their immedi
ate transportation. They arrived at
New York, February 20, 1884, where
they were received with suitable hon
ors. In pursuance of the joint resolu
tion of Congress, approved February
13. 1SS4. a naval expedition was fitted
out for the relief of Lieutenant A. W
Greely, United States army, and of the
party who had been engaged under his
command in scientific observations at
Lady Franklin lkiy. The fleet consist
ed of the steam sealer Thetis, purchas
ed in England, the Hear, purchased :r.
St. John s. N. F.,and the Alert, which
was generously provided by the llritlsh
Government. 1 reparations for the ex
pedition were promptly made Uy the
Secretary of the Navy, with the active
co-operation of the Secretary of War.
Commander G. V. Collin was placed in
command of the Alert, and Lieutenant
AV. H. Emory in command of the Hear.
The Thetis was entrusted to Command
er Wintield S. Copely, to whom also
was assigned the superintendence of
tlie entire expedition. Immediately
upon its arrival at L'ieriiavik the fleet
began the dangerous navigation of Mel
ville Hav, and. in spite of every obsta
cle, leached Littleton Island on June
22 a fortnight earlier than any vessel
had before attained that point. On the
same day it crossed over to Cape Sa
bine, where Lieutenant Greely and oth
er survivors of his party were discov
ered. After taking on board the liv
ing and the bodies of the dead the re
lief ships sailed for St. Johns, where
they arrived on July 17. They were
appropriately received at Portsmouth,
N. II., on August 1, and at. New York
on August 8. One of the liodies was
landed at the former place. The others
were put on shore at Governor's Island,
and, with the exception of one which
was interred iu the National Cemetery,
were forwarded thence to the destina
tion indicated by friends. The organi
zation and conduct of this relief expe
dition reflect great credit upon all who
contributed to its success.
THE NAVY.
In this, the last of the state messages
that I shall have the honor to transmit
to the Congress of the United States, I
cannot too strongly urge on its atten
tionthe duty of restoring our navy as
rapidly as possitue to ine mgii state or
efficiency which formerly characterized
it. As the long peace that has lulled
us into a sense ot fancied security may
at any time be disturbed, it is plain
that the policy of strengthening this
arm of the service, is dictated by con
siderations of use and economy; of
just regard for our future tranquility,
and of true appreciation of the dignity
and honor of the republic.
THE roSTAI, SERVH E.
The report of the Postmaster Gener
al acquaints you with the present con
dition and needs of t he postal service.
It discloses the gratifying fact that the
loss of revenue from the reduction ol
the rate in letter postage, as recom
mended in my message of December.
1S82, and affected by the act of March
3. 1883. has been m lich less than was
generally anticipated. My recommen
dation of this reduction was based up
on the telief that the actual falling ofl
in receipts for letter postage for the
year immediately suceeding the change
of rate would be $3,000,000. It has
proved to be only $2.27,000. This is a
trustworthy indication that the revenue
will soon be restored to its former vol
ume by the natural increase of sealed
correspondence. I confidently repeat,
therefore, the recommendation of my
last annual message, that single rate
postage ui)on drofj letters be reduced to
1 cent wherever payment of 2 cents is
now required by law. The double rate
is only exacted at ofliceshere'the car
rier system is in operation, and it ap
pears that at these offices the increase
in the tax upon local letters defray the
cost not tuny or rneir own collection
and delivery, but of the collection audi
delivery of all other mail matter. Thi
is an inequality that ought no longer
to exist.
1 approve the recommendations of
the Postmaster General, that the unit
of weight in the rating of first-class
matter should be one ounce instead ot
one-half ounce, as it now is. In view
of the statistics furnished by the de
partment, it may well be doubted
whether the change would result in any
loss of revenue; that it would greatly
promote the convenience of the public
is beyond dispute. The free delivery
system has been lately applied to live
cities, and the total number of offices
in which it is now in operation is 1"!.
Experience shows that its adoption,
under proper conditions, is equally an
accommodation to the puliiir. ami an
advantage to the postal service. It is
more than self-sustaining, and for the
reasons urged bv the Pom master Gen
eral, may properly be extended. It is
the opinion ot that oilicer. that it is
proper to provide means whereby ex
ceptional dispatch in dealing with let
ters in free-delivery offices mat be se
cured by the payment of extraordinary
postage. This scheme might be made
effective by the employment of a spec
ial stamp whose coM should be commen
surate with the expense of he extra
service. In some of the large cities
private express companies have under
taken to outstrip me itoeruineni man
carriers by affording for the prompt
transmission of letters better facilities
than have hitherto Wen at the com
mand of the postotfiot. It has alwavs
been the policy of the Government to
discourage such enterprises and in no
iH'tter way can that policy be maintain
ed than in supplying the public with
the most efficient mail service that,
with due regard to its own be.M inter
ests, can be furnished for its accommo
dation. DEPARTMENT OF -U'STICE.
The Attorney General renews the
recommendation contained in his re
port of last year touching the fees of
witnesses and iuiors. He faois radi
cal changes iu the Fee bill, the adoption
of a system by which attorneys and
marshals of the United States should
lie compensated solely by salaries, and
the erection by the Government of a
penitentiary for the confinement of of
fenders against its laws.
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Of the varied Governmental con
cerns iu charge of tht Interior De
partment, the reports of its Secretary
presents an interesting summary.
Among the topics deserving particular
attention. I refer you to his observa
tions respecting onr Indian affairs, the
Pre-emption and Timber Culture Acts, '
the failure of railroad companies to!
take titie to lands granted by the Gov-'
eminent, and the operations of thej
Pension Office, the Patent Office, the;
Census Korean, and the Pureati of Kd
iiiation.
THE INDIAN'S AGAIN. ,
Allusion has been made already to
the circumstances that, both as between
the different Indian tribes and as be
tween Indians and the whites, the past
year has been one with unbroken peace.
In this circumstances the President is
glad to find a justincatlonfor the policy
of the Government in dealing with the
Indian question, and a confirmation of
their views which were fully expressed
in his first communication to the Forty
seventh Congress. The Secretary urg
es the enactment of a statute for Iht
Sunishment of crime committed on In
ian reservations, and recommends the
passage of the bill, now pending in the
House of Representatives, for the pur
"hve of a tract of 18,000 square miles
.hi the Sioux reservation. Iloth of
these meas'i: J -.ie worthy of approval.
- I coiu",r w.iii him also in advising
the repeal of the Pre-emption law; the
enactment of statutes resolving the
present legal complications, touching
lapsed grants to railroad companies,
and the funding of the debt of the sev
eral Pacific railroads under such guar
anty as shall effectually insure its ul
timate payment.
MORMONISM AND POLYGAMY.
The report of the Utah Commission
will be read with interest. It discloses
the results of recent legislation looking
to the prevention and puuishment of
polygamy in that Territory. I still be
lieve that if that abominable practice
can be suppressed by law, it can only
be by the most radical legislation con
sistent with the restraints of the Con
stitution. I again recommend, there
fore, that Congress assume absolute
Pilitioal control of the Territory of
tah, and provide for the appointment
of a commission with such govern
mental powers as in its judgment may
justly and wisely be put into their
hands.
MORE AUOUT FOREIGN TRADE.
In the course of this communication
reference has more than once been
made as to the policy of this Govern
ment as regards the extension of our
foreign trade. It seems proper to de
clare the general principlesthatehould,
in my opinion, underlie our national
efforts in this direction. The main
conditions of the problem may be thus
stated: We are a people engaged in
mechanical pursuits, and fertile in in
vention. W e cover a vast extent of
territory lich in agricultural products
and in nearly all the raw materials
j necessary for successful manufacture.
neha'iea system of productive es
tablishments more than sufficient to
supply our own demands; the wages
of labor are nowhere else so great; the
scale of living of our artisans classes
is such as teiids to secure their person
al comfort and the development ot
those higher morals and the intellect
ual qualities that go to the making of
a good citizen; our system of tax and
tariff legislation is yielding a revenue
which is in excess of the present needs
of the Government.
These are elements from which it is
sought to devise a scheme by which,
without unfavorably changing the con
dition of the workingm 'ii, our mer
chant marine shall be raised from its
enfeebled condition and new markets
provided for the sale bevoud our bor
ders of the manifold fruits '.of our in
dustrial enterprises. The problem is
complex and can he solved by no sin
gle measure of innovation or reform.
The countries of the American conti
nent and the adjacent islands are for
the United States the natural market
of supply and demand. It is from that
we should obtain what we do not pro
duce, or do not produce in sufficiency,
and it is to them that the surplus pro
ductions of our fields, our mills and
our workshops should How, under con
ditions that will equalize or favor them
in comparison with foreign competi
tion. RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
Four paths of policy seem to point to
this end: First, a series of reciprocal
commercial treaties with the countries)
of Anurica which shall foster between
us ana ttiem an uniiampeivii move
mt.nt of trade. Theconditionsof these
treaties should be the free admission
of such merchandise as this country
does not produce iu return for admis-'
sion tree or under a favored scheme ol
duties of our products, the benefits of
such exchange to anply on these goods
carried under the il.iifs of the parties
to the contract; the removal on both
sides from vessels so privileged of all
tonnage dues and national impost, so
that their vessels may ply unhindered
between our ports, and those of other
contracting parties, though w ithout in
fringing on the reserved home coasting
tradr-; the removal or reduction of bur
dens on the exported products of those
countries coming within the Uen&iiU
of the treaties and the avoidance of
Mie technical restrictions and penalties
by which our intercourse with those
countries is at present hampered.
Secondly, the establishment of the
consular service of the United States
on a salaried footing permitting the
relinquishment of consular fees not
only as respects vessels under the na
tional flag, but also us resp-cts i ssels
ot ttie treaty nations earning goods
entitled to the benefits ot the treaties.
Thirdlv, the enactment of measures
to f.iv the construction and nciinte
nance of a steam-carrying marine un
der the flag of the United Slates.
Fourthly, the establishment of a
uniform currency basis for the. coun
tries of America", so Unit the coined
products of our mines may circulate
on qual terms throughout the whole
system of commonwealths. This would
revive a monetary union of America
whereby the outwit of the bullion-producing
countries' and the circulation of
those which yield tieitlc r gold nor sil
ver could be" adjusted in conformity
with the population, wealth and com
mercial needs of each. As many of
the counti ies furnish no million to the
common stock, the surplus production
ot our mines and mints might thus !
utilized, and it step taken toward the
general remoniti.i.tion of silver. To the
accomplishment of these ends, so far
as can be attained by separate treaties,
the negotiations already concluded
and now in progress have been direct
ed and the favor with which this en
larged policy has thus tar b'en re
ceived, warrants the belief that all its
opt r itioiis w ill ere long embrace a, I, or
neatlv all the countries of this hemis
phere. It is by no means desirable, howevei.
that the policy under consideration
should lie applied to those cotuttn
alone. The healthful enlargement
of our trade w.th Europe. Asm and
Africa should be souizht by reducing
tariff burdens on such of the.r wares
as neither we nor ttie other Ameiictn
States are fitted to produce. ;md thus
enabling ourselves to obtain in return
abetter maiket for our supplies of
food, of raw materials and of the man
ufactures in which we excel.
It seem t me tint niitiv of the err
hirn-s'mg element In the srre-it ni
cionai con. .ice oeiween prou-cuuu awi
free trade may thus be turned to good
account, that the revenue may be re
duced so us no longer to overtax the
people, that protective duties may be
retained without becoming burden
some, that our shipping interests may
be judiciously weighed, the currency
fixed on firm basis, and above all such
annuity of inb rests established among
the states of the American system, as
will be of great and of ever-increasing
advantage to them all. All treaties in
lie line of this policy which have been
negotiated, or in process of negotia
tion, contain a provision deemed to be
tt quisite under the clause of the Con
stitution limiting to the House of Rep
resentatives the authority to originate
bills for raising revenue.
CIVIL SERVICE.
On the 2ith of February last. I
transmitted to the Congress the first
annual report of the Civil-service
Commission, together with communi
cations from the heads of several ex
ecutive departments of the Govern
ment, respecting the practical work
ings of the law under which the
commission had been acting. The
good results therein foreshadowed have
een more than realized. The system
has fully answered the anticipations of
its friends in securing competent and
faithful public servants, and in pro
tecting the appointing officers of the
Government from the pressure of per
sonal Importunity, and from the labor
of examining the claims and preten
tions of rival candidates for public
employment. The lavflias theuuqual
fied support of the President ana of
the heads of the several departments,
and the members of the Commission
have performed their duties with zeal
and fidelity. Their report will shortly
be submitted, and will be accompanied
by such recommendations for enlarg
ing the scope of the existing statute as
shall commend themselves to the Ex
ecutive and the Commissioners charged
with its administration.
A NATIONAL BANKRUPT LAW.
In view of the general and persistent
demand throughout the commercial
community for a national bankrupt
law, 1 hope that the differences of sen
timent which have hitherto prevented
its enactment may not outlast the pres
ent session.
THE CHOLERA.
The pestilence which has for the
past two vears been raging in the
countries o'f the East recently made
its appearance in European ports
with which we are in communication.
The then Secretary of the Treasury,
in pursuance of a proclamation of the
President, issued certain regulations
restricting and, for a time, prohibiting
the importation of rags and the ad
mission ot baggage of immigrants and
of travelers arriving from infected
quarters. Lest this course may have
been without strict warrant of law, I
approve the recommendation of the
present Secretary, that Congress take
action in the premises, and 1 also rec
ommend the immediate adoption of
such measures as w ill be likely to ward
off the dreaded epidemic and' to miti
gate its severity in case it shall unhapi
ly extend to our shores.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The annual report of the Commis
sioners of the District of Columbia re
views ttie operations of the several de
partments of its municipal govern
ment. 1 ask your careful considera
tion of its suggestions in respect to
legislation, especially commending
such as relate to a revision of the civil
and criminal code, the performance
of labor by persons sentenced to im
prisonment in the jail, the construction
and occupation of w harves along the
river front, and the erection of a suita
ble building for District offices.
A PENSION TO GENERAL GRANT.
1 recommend that in recognition of
the eminent services of Ulysses S.
Grant, late General of the armies ot
the United States, and twice President
of the nation, Congress confer upon
him a suitable pension.
Ml si ELLAS KtU'S M'OOESTloSS.
Certain of the measures that seem to
me necessary and expedient I have
now, in obedience to the Constitution,
recommended for your adoption. As1
respects others of no less importance
I shall content in) self witn renewing
the recommendations already made to
the Congress without restating the
grounds upon which such n commen
dations were based. The preservation
of forests iii the public domain, the
graining of Goverumect aid for popu
lar education, the amendment of the
Federal Constitution so as to make
effective the disapproval, by the Presi
dent, ot particular ideas in appropria
ti.ui t'!!!: tin1 I'li.UTimvrt of nrrtutes in
regard to the tilling of vacancies in
Presidential ortice, and the determina
tion of vexed questions respecting
Piesideutial inability, are measures
which may justly receive your serious

As the time draws nigh when I am
to retire from the public service, 1 can
not refrain from expressing to the
iD'Ainbers of the National Legislature
with whom I have been brought into
perst'iLil and official intercourse, my
sincere appreciation of their untailing
courtesy, and of their harmonious co
operation with the Executive in so
many measures calculated tu promote
the interests of the nation, and to my
fellow citizens generally I acknowl
edge a deep sense of obligation for the
support which they have accorded me
in my administration of the Govern
ment. (Sinned)
