President's Message- ' The President In his annual message Tirggrtwrneewailty-fuT empliaaixing a rr.-t-* cognition of the rights of tlic products- in works of genius and Intellect. He thinks that the author should be protected from piracy by a copyright and from foreign 1 competition and piracy by an Interna. ■' ti'jnui convention. He also recommend' r1' the abolition of the tariff on foreign paintings, and supports the demand of 1 American artists that this tax lie taken '• off. As to the tariff, generally, the Pre*- ' Ident recommends a modification of ex- ' lsting statutes that shall make the laws '• more simple and intelligible; he does not. " however. Indicate any disposition to * press this sub] cel. Of the fisheries be says: The recom- '■ > rucndatlon contained In my last annual 1 mcssaguin r elusion to a mode of settle- ' ment of the fishery rights in the waters -1 of British North America— so long a ' subject of anxious difference between - the United States and Great Britian — was met by an adverse vote of the Senate ' on April 18th last; and thereupon nego. ' Rations were institnted to obtain an - agreement with Her Britannic Majesty's ' government for the promulgation of such 1 1 Joint interpretation and definition of the ■ article of the Convention of 1818, relating ' to the territorial waters and Inshore fish- 1 1 eriew of the British Provinces, as should ' ■ secure the Canadian rights from cn- 1 rroachment by United States fishermen. ; and. at the same time, ensure the enjoy- J 1 ment by the latter of the privileges guar- ' ' anu-rd to them by such convention. [ The questions involved are of long - stalMing, " of grave consequence, and ' from time to time, for nearly three-quar- i ters of a century, have given rise to ear- < ' neat international discussions, not unac- ' ' companled by Irritation. ' Noies and silver coinage : ^ ^ j views expressed In my last - sage on the subject of this compulsory ' ! coinage; and I again urge its suspension ' ' on all the grounds contained in my for- ' ' incr recommendation, reinforced by the r significant increase of our gold exports- , > lions during the last year, as appears by , I the comparative statement herewith pre- • sented, and for the further reasons that , ■ the more this currency is distributed ' among tho people the greater becomes our duty to protect it from disaster; that ' we now have abundance for all our i . m-eds; and tluit there seems but little ' ■ propriety In building vaults to store such 1 r currency when the only pretence for its . coinage is the necessity of its use by tbe - people as a circulating medium, r Coast defences and pensions : Ttie subject of coast defences and forr tiflcstions has been fnUy and carefully ■ routed by the Board of Fortifications, I whose report was submitted at the last I session of Congreas; but no construction * wo k of the kind recommended by the r Board has been possible during the lost . year from the lack of appropriations for The ilcfencclcss' condition of our sea. i coast and lake frontier la perfectly pol- , pa bh ; the examinations made must conI v i iw-e us all that certain of onr cities . named In the report of the Board should f be fortified, and that work on the moat . important of these fortifications ahquld . tw commenced at once; the work has ; lieenlt borongbly considered and laid out, . the Secretary of War reports, but all It del -yed In defaulfof Congretaionalaction. Every patriotic heart responds to s . U nder consideration for those who, hav. f Ing served llicir country long anil well, t are reduced to destitution and depen- - ilencc, not as an Incident of tbeir service . but with advancing age or through sick- . ness or misfortune. We are all tempted . by the contemplation of such a condition . to supply relict, and are often Impatient . of ihc limitations of public duty. Yielding to no one In tho desire to indulge this feeling of consideration. I cannot rid myself tlf the conviction thnt If these ex. .soldiers are to be relieved, they and their cause ore entitled to the benefit of an en- ■ artiqent. under which relief may be ' claimed as a right, and that such relief - should be granted under the sanction of I law, not In evasion of It; nor should such : worthy objects of care, all equally entitled. be remitted to the unequal npe- ' ration of sympathy, or the tender meri cies of social and political influence with their nnjnst dlsdrralnaiions.
