A platform was adopted as an open let ter to the public which Says: "The present condition of industries has become so deplorable by reason of Indefensible methods and claims of or ganlzed labor that the time has come when the deploylng?lntereats and good citizenship of tho country must take Immediate and effective meaaurts to feafflrm and enforce those fundamen tal principles of American govern m6nt guaranteeing free competitive conditions.

Tho country Ih to bo congratulated i on tho amount of substantial achieve- 1 mem which has marked tho pant year both uh regards our foreign and us re gards our domestic policy. Corporations. With a nation as with a man the most Important things are those of the household, and therefore tho country la especially to bo congratulated on what has been accomplished In the di rection of providing for tho exorcise of supervision over the great corporations and combinations of corporations en gaged In interstate commerce. The congress ban created the Department of Commerce and Labor, including the Ittjreau of Corporations, with for tho i Jli'Bt time authority to secure proper ! publicity of such proceedings of these j great corporation^ as tho public ban ' tho right to Know J It has provided for ! tho expediting of suits for the enforce- i merit of tho Federal anti-trust law; and by another law It has (secured equal treatment to all producers In the trans portation of their goods, thus taking a long stride forward In making effective tho work of the Interstate Commerce ' Commission. Department of Commerce and Labor.,,, The establishment of tho Department nf Com met ce and l?ibor, with the Hureau of Corporations thereunder, murks a real advance in tlie direction of doing all that is pouslblffior the so lutlon of the questions vitally affecting capitalists and wage-workers. The act creating the. Department was approved on February 14, *1903, aud two days later the head of the Department was nominated and confirmed by the Sea ate. Since then tho work of orgai.l/.a i lion has been pushed as rapidly as the ; initial appropriations permitted, and with duo regard to thoroughness und tho broad purposes which the Depart ment Is designed to servo. After the transfer of tho various bureaus and branches to the Department at the be ginning of the current fiscal yeur, as provided for in the act, the personnel comprised 1,280 employees In Washing ! ton and 8,836 in the country at. largo. I Tho scope of the Department's duty I and authority embraces the commercial j and Industrial interests of the Nation, j It is not designed to restrict or control it lie fullest liberty of legitimate btisl i u<tfs action, but to secure exact und ftu j thentle Information which will aid ihc ' Executive in enforcing existing laws, i and which will enable tho Congress to enact additional legislation, if any (should be found necessary, in order to prevent the few froatoohtalnlng privi leges at the expense of diminished bp portuuitles far tho many, i Capital and Labor. The consistent policy of the National ; Government, so far as it has the power | Is u? hoUl lo check- the unscrupulous man, whether employer or employee; but to refuse to weaken Individual Ini tiative or to hamper or cramp the in dustrial development of tho country. We recognize that this is an era of fed eration and combination, in which great capitalistic corporations and la bor unions have become factors of tre mendous Importance In all Industrial centers. Hearty recognition Is glvon the far-reaching, bchcilcent work which has been accomplished through both corporations and unions, and tho line j as between different corporations. as be tween unions, is drawn as It Is be ween i different individuals; that Is, It is | drawn on conduct, the efTort being to treat both organized capital and or I ganized labor alike; asking nothing ! save that the interest oYxjach shall be brought Into harmony withHhe lntorc?*t | of the general public, and that tho cor. j duct of each shall conform to tho fuu i dnmentnl rules of obedience to law, of ! Individual freedom, and of Justice and , fair dealing towards all. Wheqpvor I either corporation, labor union or In i dividual, disregards the law or nets in u j spirit of arbitrary and tyrannous inter ! f et ?nee with the rights of others, 1 whether corporations or Individuals, | then where the Federal Government | has Jurisdiction, It will seo to It that ; the mlsconduet Is stopped, paying not . tho slightest heed {o the position or i power of the corporation, the union or the Individual, but only to one vital fact? that Is, tiio question whether or not the conduct of the Individual or aggregate of Individuals Is In. accord ance with the law of the land. Eveiy man must bo guaranteed his llbei ty ond hiR right to do as ho likrs with bin property or his labor, so long aj no does not infringe tho rights of other.-?, i No mail is aoove the law and no man Is below it; nor do we ask any lean's permission when wo require ?. Win to obey It. Obedience to the law Is de manded as a right; not asked as a fav or. Wo hnve cause as a nation to ho thankful for tho steps that have boon so successfully taken to put these prin ciples Into effoct. The progress has be??n by evolution; not by revolution. Nothing radical has been done; the ac tion has bcon both moderate and reso lute. Therefore the work will stand. There shnll be no backward step. Needs of Financial Situation. The Integrity of our currency la be yond question, and under present con ditions It yould be unwl0V*&d unne cessary to attempt a reconstruction of our entire monetary system. The same liberty should be granted the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit customs re* ceipts as 1s granted him la the deposit of receipts from other, sources. In my Mossage of December 2. 1901 I called attention to certain needs of the Anna?.] rial situation, aftd I again ask tigs con sideration of the Congress for these <l Hi-si tons. Immigration. We can not have too iliueh Immlgra Hon or the right kind, and w? should have none at all of the wrong kind. The need la to devise some system S>y which undesiraiii.' Immigration shall while desirable distributed ! dlate attention of the Coo*rea?. For geries and perjurfet of ?hameleaa and flagrant character havo been per petrated, not only in the dense centers of population, but throughout the country; and it in established beyond !?'lV v*,ry mMny ??-<?ned citizens of the United States havo no title whatever to that right. and are avert ing and enjoying the benefits of the Harne through the grossest frauds. It IB never to be forgotten that citizen ship ih, to quote the words recently us ed by the Supreme Court of the United 2f fif' fP "ines,,'naM? heritage", whether it proceeds from birth within the country or Is obtained by natural!-' fcatlon; and we poison the sources of our national character and strength at the fountain. If the privilege la claimed and exercised without right, and ; by means of fraud and corruption. 4 Need For Tr?aW#s Making Bribery Ex tradltable. Steps have been taken by the State Department looking to the making of bribery an extraditable offense with foreign powers. The need of more ef fective treaties covering this crime is manifest. The exposures and prosecu tions of official corruption in St Louis, Mo., and other cities and States have resulted In a number of givers and takers of bribes becoming fugl Jves In foreign lands. Bribery has not been Included In extradition treaties heretofore, as the necessity for it has not arisen. While there may have been &e much official corruption in former years, there has been more developed ami brought to light in the Immediate past than jn the preceding century of our country's history. It should be the Policy of the United States to leave no place on earth w-ttcre a corrupt man fleeing from this country can rest In ^peace. There Is no reason why bribery should not be Included In all treaties as extraditable. Alaskan Boundary. The Alaskan boundry dispute has been one 0f lung standing. The Presl ?n congratulates the country on Its amicable settlement, and Incidentally u?<'n the Kreat development of Thi p!

Our relations with the Turkish Government remain friendly our claims founded on lnequftablo treatment of somo of our schools and missions appear to be In process of amicable adjustment. Relations With China. The signing of a new commercial treaty with China, which took place at Shanghai on the 8th of October, is a cause for satisfaction. This act, the result of long discussion and negotia tion, places our commercial relations with the great Oriental Empire on a more satisfactory footing than they have ever heretofore enjoyed. It pro vides not only for the ordinary rights and privileges of diplomatic and con sular officers, but also for an Impor tant extension of our commerce by In creased facility of access to Chinese ports, atid for the relief of trade by the removal of some of the obstacles which havo embarrassed It in the past. I call your attention to the reduced coBt In maintaining tho consular ser vice for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1003, as shown In- the annijal report of the Auditor fnr tho StstO 1 Ctiivr nepartmenta. as compared with the year previous. For the year under con sideration the excess of expenditures over receipts on account of the con sular service amounted to $26,125.12, as against $96,972.50 for the year end ing June 30, 1902, and $147,040.16 for the year ending June 30, 1901. This is the best showing In this respect for ! the consular service for the past four teen years, and the reduction In the cost of the service to the Government has been made In spite of tho fact that the expenditure? for the year in ques tion were more than $20,000 greater than for the previous year. Rural Free Delivery. The rural free-delivery . service has been steadily extended. The attention of the Congress is asked to the Ques tion of the compensation of the letter carriers and clerks engaged in the pos tal service, especially otf the new rural free-delivery routes. More routes have been Installed since the first of July last than to any like period tn the De partment. While a due regard eeoa omy must ha kept In .mtnd !a the m tabllshmant of new routes, yet the ex tension of the rural free-delivery aye ioSif1 & gotSiSeatal moral ea* of nail years has remitted j greater inuXdlate benefit to the } mii* of districts. ^ fh e* telephone, the Weycle. o* the Mcpf "mr.578 I trust Atone to I Hgfiana Ziep la the expansion which made vi ft continental nation. The expedition of Le?l? and Clark aTow the continent followed thereon, and marked tho be ginning of the process of exploration and colonization which thruat onr na tional boundaries to the Pacific. The acquisition of the Oregon country, in cluding the present States of Oregon and Washington, whs a fact of Im mense Importance in our history; first giving us our place on the Pacific sea board. and makiiiK ready the way for our ascendency in the commerce of the greatest of the organs. The centennial of our establishment upon the western coast by tho expedition of - Lewis and (Mark Is to be celebrated at Portland, Oregon, by an exposition in the sum mer of 1005, and (hit event should re ceive recognition and support from the National Government, Cotton Weevil. The cotton-growing States have re cently been Invaded by a weevil that has done much damage and threatens the entire cotton industry. I suggest to the Congress the prompt enactment of such remedial .legislation as Its judg ment may approve. Patents to Foreigners. In granting patent* to foreigners tho' proper course for this country to fol low is to give tho same advantages to foreigners' here that the countries In which those foreigners dwell extend In return to our citizens; that Is, to ex tend the benefits of our patent laws on inventions and the like where In re turn the articles would be patentable in the foreign countries concerned ? where an America^ could get a corre sponding patent in such countries. Indian Affairs, The Indian agents should not be de pendent for their appointment or ten ure of office upon considerations of partisan politics; the practice of ap pointing, when possible, ex-array offi cers or bonded superintendents to the vacancies that occur Is working well. Attention Is Invited to the wide spread Illiteracy du<i to lack of public schools In the Indian Territory, Prompt heed should be paid to the need of education for the children, in this Territory. * m 8afety-Appliance'H-aw. In the matter of the'snfety-appllance law much good has already been ac complished. The law should be vigor ously enforced. ? Pensions. No other class of our citizens de serves so well of the Nation as those to whom the Nation owes its very be ing, the veterans of the civil war. Spe cial attention Is asked to the excellent work of the Pension Bureau In expend ing and disposing of pension claims. During the fiscal year ending puly 1, 1903, the Bureau settled 251,982 claims, an average of 825 claims for each work- | lng day of the year. The number of set tlement since July 1, 1903, haB been In excess of last year's average, approach ing 1,000 claims /or each working day, and It is believed that the work of tho Bureau will be current at the close of the present fiscal year. Civil Service Extension. During the year ended June 30 last 25,566 persons were appointed through competitive examinations under the clvll-servlce rules. This was 12,72 more than during the preceding year, nnd 40 per cent oif those who passed the ex amination. This abnormal growth was [ largely occasioned by the extension of classification to the rural free-delivery service and tne appointment laet year of over 9,000 rural carriers. A revision I of the clvll-servlce rules took effcct on April 15 last, which has greatly Im proved their operation. The completion of the refbrm of the civil service Is rec ognized by good citizens everywhere as a matter of the highest public Import ance, and the success of the merit sys tem largoly depends upon tho effec tiveness of the rules and thC-fliarhln. cry "provided for their enforcement. A very gratifying spirit of friendly co operation exists in all the Departments of the Government In the enforcement and uniform observance of hath the let(er and spirit of the/ilvil-servlce act. Executive orders of July 3, 1902; March 26, 1903, and July 8, 1903, require that appointments of all unclassified labor ers^ both In the Departments at Wash ington and In th#*flt[td service, sh^li bo made with the assistance Of-The United States Civil Service Commis sion, under a system of registration to test the relative fitness of applicants for appointment or employment. This system Is competitive, and Is open to all citizens of the United States quali fied in respect to ago, physical ability, moral character. Industry, and adap tability for manual labor; except that In case of veterans of the civil war the element of age is omitted. Board of Charities. The report of the Board of Charl tleB for the District of Columbia Is submitted for the consideration of Congress. It Is a qualifying statement. Bureau of Corporations. The message urges the establishment of a Bureau of Corporations. This In the opinion of the President will ac complish tbuch good. The Army. The effect of the laws providing a Oeneral Staff for the Army and for the more effective use of the National Guard has been excellent. Great Im provement has been made In the effi ciency of our Afmy In recent years. Such schools rs those erected at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley and the Institution of fall maneuver work ac complish satisfactory results. The good effect of thf-ip maneuvers upon the National Guard is marked. and ample appropriation should be made to enable the guardsmen of the several States to share in tfte benefit. The Gov ernment should as soon as possible se cure suitable permanent camp sites for military maneuvers in the various sec tions of the country. The service there by renders^., not only to the Regular Army, but'to the Nittlonal Guard of the several States, will be so great as to repay many times over the rela tively small expense. We should not rest satmed with what has been done, however. The only people who are contented with a system of. promotion by mere seniority are those who are contented with the triumph of me diocrity jover excellence. On the other hand a system which encouraged the exercise' of social or political favorit ism In promotions would be even worse. But It would surely be easy to devise a method of promotion from grade to grade 1n which the opinion of the higher officers of the service upon the cantdates sh<W?ld be decisive upon the standing and promotion of the latter. Just such a system bow obtains at West Point.

Kress authorized the President U ter into treaty with Colombia for1 building of the canal across Isthmus of Panama; it being provlc that In the event of failure to seci such treaty after the lapse of a rt sotwble time, recourse should he hi to building a canal through Nlcaragu^ It has not been necessary to conside this alternative, as I am enabled tJ lay before the Senate a treaty provid ing for tin) building of the canal acrost the Isthmus of Panama. Thi? was the\ routo which commended itself to the' deliberate judgment of the Congress, and we can now acqulro by treaty the right to construct the canal over this route. The question now, therefore, Is liot by which route the Isthmian canal shall be built, for that question has been definitely and irrevocably de cided. The question Is simply whether or not wo shall have an Isthmian canal. When the Congress directed that we should tako the Panama route un ler treaty with Colombia, tho essence of the condition, of course, referred not to tho Government which controlled that route, but to the routehitsclf; to tlio territory across which the route lay, not to the name which for tho moment tho territory bore on the mapi The purpose of the law was to au thorize the President to make a treaty with the power in actual control of the Isthmus of Panama. This purpose has been fulfilled. Repudiation of Treaty by Colombia. Last spring, under the act above re ferred to, a treaty concluded between the representatives of the 'Republic of Colombia .'ind of our Government was ratified by Ine Senate. This treaty was entered Into at the urgent solicitation of tho people of Colombia and after a body of exports appointed by our Gov ernment especially to go into the ma t ter of tbo routes across the Isthmus had pronoupced unanimously in favor of tho Panama route. In drawing up tills treaty c' ery concession was made to tho people and to the Government of Colombia. Wo were more than Just iu^deallng with them. Our generosity was* such as to make it a serious ques tion whether we had not gone too far in their interest at the expense of our own; for i:i our scrupulous desire to pay all j>,ossible heed, not merely to the real but even to,th? fancied rights of Qur weaker neighbor, who already owed So much'' to 6nr protection and forbearance, we yielded in all possible ways to her desires in drawing up the treaty. Nevertheless the Government of Colombia not merely repudiated tno treaty, but repudiated it in such man ner as to make it evident by the time th? Colombian Congress adjourned that not the scantiest hope remained of ever getting a satisfactory treaty from them. The Government of Colom bia ittado-the treatyr^wFyet Trhgrrtfio Colombian Congress waav. called to ratify it the voteagainst ratification was unanimous. It does not appear that the Government made any real effort to secijpe ratification. A mnqJSer of paragraph* of the mes sage are devoted to a review of our efforts i? vtjpBjra treaty rights for the building of an Isthmian canal, and many matters touching upcu the sub ject are cited; The control, In the interest of the commerce and tramc of the whole civilized world, of the means of un disturbed transit across the Isthmus of Panama has become of transcen dent importance to the Unitod States. We have repaatedly exercised *hls control by intervening in the course of domestic dissension, and by pro tecting the territory from foreign in vasion. In .1853 Mr. Everett assured tho Peruvian minister that we should not hesitate to maintain the neutrality of' tho Isthmus in the case of war between Peru and Colombia. In 18t>4 Colombia, which has always been vigilant to aVall itself of its priv ileges conferred Dy tho treaty, ex pressed its expectation that in the event of ^ar between Peru and Spain the United States would carry Ipto. effect the fruaraftty neutrality. Provisions of Treaty. By the provisions of the treaty the United States guarantees and will {aint&in the independence of the Re public of Panama.
