Stoctoa has been indited by the grand jary on. a charge of coercion, of em ployes. He is manager of the Clifton. Coal company; and the charge is that; he compelled, employes to tray at the com pany's store. The testimony before the jary was that he told the miners they Ksst hey their goods at the trues: store, ud if they faffed to do so they were discharged, The miners brought the complaint, and it was investigated at aaca length. Thfe company has been for sometime respected of evading' the state law by operating a store and practically forcing employes to patronize it. Other mines is. the vicinity are under the same sns picsoe. and the miners propose to stop the system.

It insures themin considera tkyc at the deduction of a certain part ofthsr wages, and in taking its policies the employes contract to waive all claim against the company in case they are damaged. The courts having held the Waiver good, the Temple amendment was introduced to provide that no such waiver should be gecd.

AMOTMHES EXTEA SESSION OX THE TAEUT Seri&iea sf tke TTatSsxal Carrfracrr Sysiea Tfesr la Order Praaaoiiaa of Seci-jreclty- Earaestly AdrecaeI Strear Sciad Is Favor of Xateraatiosal Peua Treaty Wasta Traat Xavs sfbrce. j Feixow CmzEXS: In obedience to he will of the people z.n& to their pre eace by the authority vested in me by i this oath, I assume the arduous and re- j spoca.He duties of president of the Unit ed. States, relying on the support of my cosatrymen, and invoking the guidance of Almighty God. Our faith teaches that there is no safer reliance than upon the God of oar fathers, who haa so singularly favored the American people in every national trial, and who vrfll not forsake us so long as we obey brs KimmanTTiAnh! and walk humbly in his footsteps. The responsibilities of the high trust to which I have been called, always of grave importance, are augmented by the prevailing business conditions, entailing idleness upon willing labor and loss to useful enterprise. The country is suf fering from industrial disturbances from which speedy relief must be had. Our finnnrinT system needs some re vision; our money is all good now. but its valne must not further be threat ened. It should all be put upon an en during basis, not subject to easy attack: nor its stability to doubt or dispute. Our currency should continue under the supervision of the government. The several forms of our paper money offer, in my judgment, a constant embarrass ment to the government and a safe bal ance in the treasury. Therefore, I be lieve it necessary to devise a system without diminishing the circulating me dium, or offering a premium for its con traction, which will present a remedy for those arrangements, which, tempo rary in them nature, might well in the years of our prosperity have been dis placed by wiser provisions. "With ade quate revenue assured, but not until then, we can enter upon such changes in our fiscal laws as will, while insur ing safety and volume to our money, no longer impose upon the government the necessity of maintaining so large a gold reserve, with its attendant and inevita ble temptations to speculation. Most of cur financial laws are the outgrowth of experience and trial, and should not be amended withoutinvestigation and dem onstration of the wisdom of the proposed changes. "We must be both sure we are right, and "make haste slowly." -If, therefore, congress, in its wisdom, shall deem its expedient to create a amis sion to take under early consideration the revision of our coinage, banking and currency laws, and give them that exhaustive, careful and dispassionate examination that the importance de mands, I shall cordially concur in such action. If such power is vested in the president, it is my purpose to appoint a commission of prominent, well-informed citizens oi nmerenc parties, who will command public confidence, both on ac count of their ability and special fitness for the work. Business experience and public train ing may thus be combined, and the pa triotic zeal of the friends of the country be so directed that such a report will be made as to receive the support of all parties, and our finances cease to be the subject of mere partisan contention. The experiment is, at all events, worth a trial, and, in my opinion, it can but prove beneficial to the entire country. As to Bimetallism. The question of international bi metallism will have early and earnest attention- It will be my constant en deavor to secure it by co-operation with the other great commercial powers of the world. Until that consideration is Teaiized, when the parity between our gold and silver money springs from and is supported by the relative value of the two metals, the value of silver already coined, and of that whichhereafter may be coined, must be kept constantly at par with gold by every resource at our command. The credit of the govern ment, the integrity of its currency, and the inviolability of its obligations must be preserved. This was the command ing verdict of the people, and it will not be unheeded. Economy is demanded in every branch of the government at all times, bat es pecially in periods like the present de pression of business and distress among the people. The severest economy must be observed in all public expenditures, and extravagance stopped wherever it is found, and prevented, wherever, in the future, it may be developed- If the revenues are to remain as now the only relief that can come must be from de creased expenditures. But the present must not become the permanent condi tion, of the government- Ir has been our uniform practice to retire, not in crease our outstanding obligations, and thispoHcy must be again resumed and -vigorously enforced. Our revenues should always be large enough to meet with ease and promptness not only oar current needs, and the principal and in terest of the public debty but to make proper and liberal provision for that most deserving body of public creditors. the soldiers and sailors, and the widows and orphans who are the pensioners of the United States- The government should not be per mitted to run behind or increase its debt in timre like the present. Suitably to provide against such conditions is the mandatory duty, the certain and easy remedy for the most of our financial difficulties. A deficiency is inevitable so long as the expenditures of the gov ernment exceed its receipts. It can Ofily he met by loans or aa increased revenue. "While a large annual surplus of revenue may invito waste and ex travagance, inadequate revenue creates distrust and undermines public and pri vate credit. Neither should be encour aged. Between more loans and mora revenue there ought tm be but one opin ion. "We should have more revenue, aad that without delay, himdranca or joetpenement. A surplus ia. the treas ury created by loans is not a permanent ec safe reliance. It will suffice wh3a it lasts, hat it caasot last long whila the oatlays ef the government are greater thas. its receipts, as has bees the case 3rh-the past two years. Kocmust it he forgotten, that however mack sci losas may temporarily relieve the situa tion, the government is still indebted, for the amount of the surplus thus ac crued, which it must ultimately pay, while its ability to pay is not strength ened, but weakened by a continued de ficit. Loans are imperative in great emergencies to preserve the government or its credit, but a failure to supply seeded revenue m thne of peace foe the maintenance of either, has no justifica tion. Revision of tke TarlHl The best way for the government .to maintain its credit is to pay as it goes not by resorting to loans, but by keep ing out of debt through an adequate income secured by a system of taxation, external or internal, or both. It is the settled policy of the government, pur sued from the beginning and practiced by all parties and administrations, to raise the bulk of revenue from taxes upon foreign productions entering the United States for sale and consumption, and avoiding for the most part every form of direct taxation, except in time of war. The country is clearly opposed to any needless additions to the subjects of in ternal taxation, and is committed by its latest popular utterance to the system of tariff taxation. There can be no misunderstanding, either, about the principle upon which this taxation shall be levied. Nothing has ever been made plainer at a general election than that the controlling principle in the raising of revenue on imports, a zealous care for American interests' and American labor is wished. The people have de clared that such legislation should be had as wiH give ample protection and encouragement to the industries and the development of our country. It is, therefore, earnestly hoped an d expected that congress wuL at the earliest prac ticable moment, enact revenue legisla tion that shall be fair, reasonable, con servative, just, and which, while sup plying sufficient revenue for public pur poses, will still be signally beneficial and helpful to every section and every enterprise of the people. To this policy we are all, of whatever party, firmly bound by the voice of the people a power vastly more potential than the expression of any political platform. The paramount duty of congress is to stop deficiencies by the restoration of that protective legislation which has always been the foremost prop of the treasury. The passage of such a law or laws will strengthen the credit of the country, both at heme and abroad, and go far toward stopping the drain upon the gold reserve held for the redemption of our currency, which has been heavy and well nigh constant for several years. In the revision of the tariff especial attention should be given to the re enactment and extension of the reci procity principle of the law of 1S90, by which so great a stimulus was given to cur foreign trade in new and advan tageous markets for our surplus agri cultural and manufactured products. The brief trial given this legislation amply justifies a further experiment and additional discretionary power in the making of commercial treaties, the end in view always to be the opening up of new markets for the products of our country by gran ring concessions to the products of other lands that we need and cannot produce ourselves, and which do not involve any loss of labor to our own people, but tend to increase their employment. The depression of the past four years has fallen with especial se verity upon the great body of the coun try, and upon none more than the hold ers of small forms. Agriculture has lan guished and labor suffered. The revival of raanufacturingwulbe a relief toboth. Ko portion of our people is more devoted to the institutions of free government, nor more loyal in their support, while none bears more cheerfully or fully its proper share in the maintenance of the government, or is better entitled to its wise and liberal care and protection. Legislation helpful to producers 13 beneficial to all. The depressed condi tion of industry on the farm and in the manufactory has lessened the ability of the people to meet the demands upon them, and they rightfully expect that not only a system of revenue shall be established that wiE secure tin largest income with the lightest burden, tut that every means will be taken to de crease rather than increase our public expenditures. Business conditions are not the most promising. It will tafca time to restore the prosperity of former years. If we cannot promptly attain it, we can resolutely turn our faces in that direction and aid its return by friendly legislation. However troublesome the situation may appear, congress will not, I am sure, be found lacking in disposi nan or ability to relieve it as far as legislation can do so. The restoration of confidence and the revival of business, which men of all parties so much desire, depends more largely upon the prompt, energetic and intelligent action of con gress than upon any other single agency that affects the situation. It is inspiring, too, to remember that Ho-great emergency in the 103 years cf eur eventful national life has ever risen that has not been met with wisdom and eourage by the American people. With fidelity to then- best interests and high est destiny, and to the honor of the American name, these years of glorious history have exalted mankind and ad vanced the cause of freedom throughout the world, and immeasurably strength ened the precious free institutions which we enjoy. The people love, and will sustain these institutions. The greatest aid to our happiness and prosperity is that we adhere to principles upon which the government "was established, and ia hss upon, their faithful observance The equality of rights muse prevail, and our laws be always and everywhere re spected and obeyed. "We may have failed is. the discharge of cur fall duty as ekraeas of the great republic, hut it is consoling and escoeraging; to realize that the free speech, free press, free thoaght, free schools, free righs to re ligioes Eberiy asd wot -hip. audfrse asd fair electioas are dearer aadsors usiversally eajoyed today than ever he f ore- These gaarasteas xsnsfe he sacred ly preserved and wisely strengthened.

OppasitlsH. ta Trusts. One of the lessons txsght by the late eJectSoo, which, all can. rejoice in, is that the dtfzeBsof the United States are both htw-respectiHg and law-abiding people, sot easfly swerved from the path of pat rSotism aadhooor. This is in entire accord with the geaias of cur iastiratioos and bet emphasises the advantages of incafcating ever a great love for law and order in the fut ure. Immunity should be granted to none who violate the laws, whether in dividuals, corporations orcomssnitiesr and as the consdtutks imposes apent the president the duty of both its own ex ecution, and of the statutes enacted in pursuance cf its provisions, I shall en deavor carefully to carry them into ef fect. The declaration at the party bow restored to power has been in the past that of opposition to all combmatKm of capital orgamzeo. m (ruses, or o&aswise, to control arbitrarily the cooditioa of trade among our citizens. And it has supported ssch legislation as "will prevent the execution, of all schemes to oppress the peopie dv undue charges on their supplies, or by unjust rates for the transportation of their products to market." This purpose will be steadily pursued, both by the enforcement of the laws now in exist esce, and the recommenda tion and snpoort of such new statutes as may be necessary to carry it into effect. Our naturalization and immigration laws should be further improved to the constant promotion of a safer, abler, and a higher citizenship. A grave peril to the republic would be a citizenship too ignorant to understand, or too vicious to appreciate, the great value and bene fit of our constitution and laws, and against all who come here to make war upon them, our gates must be promptly and tightly closed. Nor must we be unmindful of the need of improvement among our own citizens, but with the zeal of our forefathers encourage the spread of knowledge and free educa tion. Illiteracy must be banished from the land if we shall attain that high destiny as the foremost of the enlight ened nations of the world, which, under providence, we ought to achieve. Preforms in the civil service must go on, but the changes should be real and genuine, not perfunctory, or prompted by a zeal in behalf of any party, simply because it happens to be in power. As a member of congress I voted, and spoke in favor of tne present law, and I shall attempt its enforcement in the spirit in which it was enacted- The purpose in view was to secure the most efficient service of the best men who would ac cept appointment under the govern ment, retaining faithful and devoted public servants in office, but shielding none, under the authority of any rule or custom who are inefficient, incompe tent or unworthy- The best interests of the country demand this and the people heartily approve the law wher ever and whenever it has been thus ad ministered. Congress should give prompt atten tion to the restoration of our American merchant marine, once the pride of the seas in all the great ocean highways of commerce. To my mind few more important subjects so im peratively demand its intelligent consideration. The United States has progressed with marvel ous rapidity in every field of enterprise and endeavor until we have become foremost in nearly all the great lines of inland trade, com merce and indnstry. Yet while this is true, our American merchant marine has been steadily declining until it is now lower in the per centage and ton nage and the number of vessels em ployed than it was prior to the civil war. Commendable progress has been made of late years in the upbuilding of the American navy, but we must sup plement these efforts by providing as a proper consort for it a merchant marine amply sufficient for cur- own carrying trade to foreign countries. The ques tion is one that appeal both to our business necessities and the patriotic aspirations of a great people It has been, the policy of the United States since the foundation of the gov ernment to cultivate relations of peace and amitv with all the nations ot the world, and this accords with my con ception of our duty now. "We have cherished the policy of noninterference with the affairs of foreign governments, wisely inaugurated by Washington, keeping ourselves from entanglement either as allies or foes, content to leave undisturbed with them the settlement of their own domestic concerns. It will be our aim te pursue $ firm and digni fied foreigii policy, which shall be just, impartial ever watchful of our na tional honor, and always insisting upon the enforcement of the lawful rights of American citizens everywhere. Our dip lomacy should seek nothing more, and accept nothing less than is due us. "We want no wars of conquest. We must avoid the temptation of territorial ag gression. War should never he entered into until every endeavor has failed. Peace is preferable to war in almost every contingency. Arbitration is ths true method of settlement of interna tional as well as lota or individual dif ferences. It wis recognized as the best mean; of adjustment ot differences of employers and employes by the Fcrty ninth congress, in Ii55. and its applica tion was extended to diplomatic rela tions by the unanimous concurrence of iht senate and house of the Fifty-first congress, in 1590 The latter resolatioH was accepted as the basis or negotiations with us by the British house of com mons in IS93. and upon our inyitatiom a treaty of arbitratioa between the United States and Great Britain was signed at Washington and transmitted to the senate for ratification in January last. Since this treaty is dearly the re sult of our own initiative; since it has been recognized as the leading feature of our foreign policy throughout our en tire national history the adjustment ofJ cnScuIties by judicial methods rather than by force of arras and since it pre sents to the world the glorious example of reason and peace, not passios and war. controlling the relatioas between two cf the greatest nations of the world, an example certain to be followed by others. I respectfully urge the early ac tion of the senate thereon, not merely as a matter of policy, but as a duty to mankind The importance and moral influence of the ratification of ssch a treaty can. hardly be overestimated is. the cause of advancing civilization. It may well engage the best thought of the statesmen and people of every country; andl cannot but ecusi'ter it fortunate that it was reserved to the United States to have the leadership is sa grand a week.

The people have only re cently voted that tkfrt should he doas asd Bothing is more blading on the agents of their will thaa. the obligatiou of immediate actios. It has always seemed to me-that the postpooeuaeHfc of the meeting of congress until more than a year after it had been chosen, deprives congress too often of the inspiration of the Topular will and the corresponding benefits. It is evident, therefore, that to post pone action, in the preseBce of so great a necessity would be unwise on the part of the executive because unjust to the interest of the people. Our actioes sowwilibe freer from mere partisan consideratioa than if the question of tariff revision was postponed until the regular session of congress. We are nearly two years' from a congressional election, asd. politics cannot so greatly distract us as if such contest was imme diately pending. We can approach the problem calmly and patriotically, with out fearing its effect upon an early elec tiofi. Our fellow citizens who may dis agree with us upon the character of this legislation prefer to have the questioa settled now, even against their precon ceived views and perhaps settled so reasonably, as I trust and believe it will be, as to insure great permanence than to have further uncertainty men acing the vast and varied business in terests of the United States. Again, whatever action congress may take will be iven a fair opportunity foe trial before the people are called to pass judgment upon it. and this I consider sT great essential to the rightful and last ing settlement of the question- In view of these considerations I shall deem it my duty as president to convene con gress in extraordinary session on Mon day, the 15th day of March, 1S37- Pledges IaItkfBl FerfermsBce of Daty. In -conclusion, I congratulate the country upon the fraternal spirit of the people and the manifestation of good will everywhere so apparent. The recent election not only most fortunately demonstrated the obliteration of tkmal or geographical Enes. but, to some extent, also the prejudices which for years, have distracted our councils and marred our true greatness as a na tion. The triam ph of the people, whose verdict is carried into effect today, ia not the triumph of one section, or wholly of one party, but of all sections and all the people- The north and south no lanser divide on the old lines. butupoR principles and policies- Let us cultivate this spirit. It is ennobling and will he a gain and a blessing to our beloved country. It wiE. be my con stant aim to do nothing and permit nothing to be done that will arrest or disturb this growing sentiment of unity and co-operation, this- revival of esteem and affiliation which novr animates so many thousands in both the old and an tagonistic sections, but shall cheerfully do everything possible to promote and increase it. Let me again- repeat the words of the oath administered by the chief justice, which, in their respective spheres, so far as applicable, I would have all my countrymen observe: "I will fiithfully executive the office of president of the United States, and wfll, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the caustitatioa of the United States." This is the obligation I have reverent ly taken before-the Lord most high. To keep is w31 be -my single purpose, my constant prayer and I shall confident ly rely upon the forbearance and assist ance of all the people in the discharge fcif my solemn responsibilities.
