M. VH1T5ET. ill fOOrl lS al'xs Rill jr PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. The font annual message of President Grant was delivered to Congress December Gth. We make this synopsis CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY.

Emerging from a rebellion of gigantic magni tude, aided as it was by the sympathy ana assist- ancc of natioiiH vrich which we were at peace, eleven States of the Union were lour years ao left without legal State Government. A debt had been contracted American commerce was almost driven from the eeas the industry of one-half the country had been taken from the control of the capitalists and placed where all labor rightfully belongs, in the keeping of the laborer. Tho irnrlr of VARrnrlnrr Slnti lovn.1 to the Union, of the t.rotectin and foeterins of labor, and providing means lor pajmg tbe interest on the public debt, has received ample attention from Congress. The freedmen, under the protection which they have received, are making rapid progress in learning, and no complaints are heard of alack of industry on their part when they receive fair remuneration for their labor. The means provided for paying the interest on tlu r.e eminent, are more than ample.

The loss of our commerce is the only result of the rebellion which has not received sufficient attention from you. JflFSOl'RI, VIRGINIA AND TEXAS. It is to be hoped that the acts ot Legislatures of these States, when they meet, will be such as to receive your approbation. THE CTRRENCY QUESTION. Among the evils growing out of the rebellion, and not yet referred to, is that of an irredeemable currency.

It is an evil which 1 hope will receive your most earnest attention. It is a duty, one of the higheht of the duties of the Government, to 6ecure to the citizens a medium of exchange of an unvarying value. This implies a return to a specie basis, and no substitute lor it can be devised. It should be commenced now and reached at the earliest practical moment consistent I Willi Op Irl 1 Uftl 'A IU HH- J1HV1WV wa-W i. i class, immediate resumption, it pracurau would not be desirable.

It would compel the debtor class to pay beyond their contracts the premium on gold at the date of their purchase, and would bring bankruptcy and ruin to thou sands. CUSTOM DUTIES. The revenues of the country are greater than the requirements, and may with safety be reduced but as the funding of the debt, in four or four and a half per cent, bonds would reduce the annual current expenses largely, and thus after funding justilymg a greater reduction ot taxation than would now be expected, I suggest the postponement of this question until the next meeting of Congress; when it may be advisable to modify taxation and the tariff in instances where unjust or. burdensome discriminations are made by the present laws. THE NATIONAL TREASURY.

The report of the Secretary of the Treasury shows the receipts of Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, to be $370,943,747, and the expenditures, including interest, to be 321,490,597. The estimates for the ensuing year are more favorable to the Government, and will no doubt show a large decrease of the public debt. THE CUBAN QUESTION. As the United States is the freest of all nationB, bo, too, its citizens sympathize with all peoples strujglftg for liberty and self-government but, while so sympathizing, it is due to our honor that we should abstain from enforcing our views upon unwilling nations, and from taking an interested part in irritating questions between different nations, or between Governments and their eubjects. Our course should always be in conformity with strict justice and law international and local.

The people and of the United States entertain the earns warm feelings and sympathies for the people of Cuba in their pending struggle that they manifested throughout the previous struggles between Spain and her colonies in behalf of the latter but the contest at no time has assumed the conditions which amount to war in the sense of international law or which would show the existence of a political organization of insurgents sufficient to justify a recognition of their belligerency. The principle is maintained, however, that this nation will be its own judge as to the lights of belligerency, either to a people struggling to free themselves from a Government they believe to be oppressive, or to independent nations at war with each other. The United States have no disposition to interfere with the existing relations of Spain to her colonial possessions on this continent. They believe that in due time Spain and other European Powers will find their interest in terminating those relations, and in establishing their present dependencies as independent Powers members of the family of nations. There dependencies are no longer re-, garded as subject to transfer from one European Power to another.

When the present relations of the Colonies cqase, they are to become inde-: pendent Powers, exercising the right of choice and of self-control in the determination of their uri condition and rotation with other Powers.

The time and circumstances attending Hie negor tuition of this treaty were favorable to its aceept- ancc by the people of the United States, but its prO ibionS Were wholly inadoiUatO for the Settle- of tlx OTftve wroripfl that had been SUStainfHi (v this Uovernment, as well as its citizens. Hie injuiiea resulting to tlie United States by reason of the course adopted by Great Britain during our late civil war, in the increased rates of insurance, in the diminution of exports and imports, and in other respects, to domestic, industry and production, in its effect upon the foreign commerce ot the country, in the decrease and transfer to Great Britain of our commercial marine, in the prolongation of the war, and tbe increased cost, both in treasure and in lives, of its suppression, could not be adjusted and satisfied as ordinary commercial claims, which continually arise between commercial nations, and yet the convention treated them simply as such ordinary claims, from which they differ more widely in the gravity of their character than in the magnitude of their amount, great even as that is. RECIPROCITY. There was found a wide differenco of opinion as to tbe reciprocity treaty between the United States and the British Provinces on this continent, which has not been favorably considered by the Administration.

The advantages of such a treaty would be wholly in favor of the British producer, except, possibly, as to a few engaged in the trade between tlie two sections. citizen, of the United Staiea would be benefited by such reciprocity. Our internal taxation would prove a protection to the British producer almost equal to the protection which our manufacturers receive from the tariff. Some arrangement, however, for the regulation of commercial intercourse between tbe United States and the Dominion of Canada may be desirable. I THE OBJECTS Or THIS ADMINISTRATION.

1 On my assuming the responsibilities of Magistrate of the United States, it was' with the conviction that three things were essential to its peace and prosperity and the fullest development. First among these is strict integrity in fulfilling our obligations second, to secure protection to the person and "property of the citizen of our common country wherever he may chance to move, without reference to original nationality, religion, color or politics, demanding of him only obedience to the laws and a proper respect lor tbe rights of othars third, union of all the States with rights indestructible by any but constitutional means. INDIAN AFFAIRS. The Society of Friends is well known as having Bccceeded in peace with the Indians in the early settlement of Pennsylvania, when their white neighbors of other sections were constantly embroiled. They are also known for their opposition to vicl.nce nr.a "ir, and ore gcr.eTaJIy noted for their strict integrity end fair dealing.

eonnderaiions Indof-fd me to the management of a few reservation of Indians to them, and to throw the burden of the selection of Agents upon the Society itself. Hie result lias proved most satisfactory. WAR DEPARTMENT. The report of the Secretary of "War shews the expenditures of the War Department for the vear ending the 30th of June, to be 80,044,042, of which 23,882,310 was disbursed in the payment of debts contracted during the war, and is not chargeable to current army expenses. POSTAL.

The ordinary postal revenues for the year ending June 30, 1809, amount to 18,344,001, and the expenditures to 823,689,131, showing an excess of expenditures over receipts for the pre- vious year amounted to The increase of this department's revenue for 1809 over those of 18C8 was 2,051,909, and the increase of i expenditures was torn The increased revenue in 1809 exceeded the increased revenue in 1808 by 996,330, and the increased expendi- I tures in lSu'J were Iesa lD.an loe increased expenditures in 1867 showing by comparison this gratifying feature of improve- ment that, while the increase oi expenditures i over the increase of receipts in lfcba I CO ll r-. ATA rhl inPWlOLl 4kT expenditures in 1369 was 1,084,371. INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. The report of the Secretary of the Interior shows that the quantity of public lands disposed of during the year ending the 30th of June, 1869, was 7,606,152 acres exceeding that of the preceding year by 1,010,400 acres. Of this amount, 2,899,544 acres were sold for cash, and 2,737,365 acres- secured under the Homestead laws.

The remainder was granted to aid the construction of works of internal improvement, approved to the States as swamps and land WarritniB UUU BUI! J. XlIC vaoil jm tw. sources were 4,472,886 exceeding those of the previous year by 2,840,140. During the last fiscal year 23,196 names were added to the pension rolls, and 4,896 dropped therefrom, leaving at its close The amount paid to pensioners, including the compensation of disbursing agents, was 28,422,884 an increase of on that of the previous year. THE PATENT OFFICE.

During the year ending the 30th of September, 1869, the Patent Office issued 13,762 patents, and the receipts were 686,389, being 213,936 more than the expenditures. Preamble and Resolutions of the Hawaiian Trades Association, With an Essay, read by tut President at the Meeting of November 22, 1869. A meeting of the leading mechanics and manu facturers of Honolulu, was held on the evening of November 9, 1869. The meeting ultimately organized into a Society under the name of the Hawaiian Trades Association," of which L. L.

Torbert, was elected President. The following resolution was discussed and passed Resolved, That we feel it to be our duty to ourselves and to the people of these Islands to use our best endeavors to get the Government to protect us in the manufacture of such things as we arc prepared to make here. 'At another meeting held November 15th the following Preamble and Resolutions were discussed and unanimously adopted, and ordered to be printed lielieving that manufactures should join hand in hand with agriculture and commerce in building up the prosperity of a country that intelligence and self-reliance in a people are directed by increasing the variety of employments which are accessible to them; that up to the present time, the resources of these Islands for manufactures of certain kinds possible here, have been but partially known that the capacity of native Hawaiians, as laborers, has been habitually underrated that all the advantages of prior occupation have remained with commerce and agriculture, which have, necessity, preceded manufactures as investments of capital that the consequent disadvantages under which the various industries of this country lie, can be most speedily removed by the impost of protective duties on competing articles from abroad, and this protection should be extended to other industries which are fairly possible here when they shall be established; and that the influx of capital seeking investment in manfactures thus protected, and the presence of skilled laborers, will be of great benefit to the nation by creating wants which commerce must 6upply, and by saving much expenditure of the money whieli agriculture brings into the country Therefore, we, the Hawaiian Trades Association, deem it our duty to ourselves and the people of these Islands, to diffuse a knowledge of what is possi ble in the line of Home manufactures, and of what legislation appears to us desirable in order to foster the same. i a In furtherance of these objects, be it.

Resolved 3. That in connection with the protection of our manufactures, we will support the Board of Immigmtion in bringing persons here for cheap laborers, under contracts, provided such contracts end by, returning the pereons to their own lands, and not setting them adrift on the community here. Resolved 4. That we support the existing laws in enforcing the fulfillments of contracts as provided for in Sections 1419, 1420 and 1423 of the Civil Code. Resolved 5.

That we feel our interests and the interests of the planter to be side by side. That while the planter produces and brings money into the country we shall produco and keep money from going out of the country. That while the planter employs unskilled and cheap labor wtj 6uall employ skilled and higher priced labor. Thus in connection with the planter opening a way for all classes of labor. We believe the result will be a more wealthy, more industrious, more virtuous, and more enlightened community.

The Association voted to hold a public meeting the following week for tbe discussion of subjects above presented. At a public meeting held in the Armory on the 22d of Isovember, the following Essay -was read by the President, and subsequently the Association agreed to have it printed as a circular, in pamphlet form, and distributed, throughout the group .9 ESSAT. If-these Hawaiian Islands belonged to the United States of America, and the United States of America belonged to the kingdoms of Europe, so that the whole were one family, tbe interests of the manufacturers at these Islands, and in the United States, and in Europe, would stand in a different relation to each other from what they now stand, as separated the one from the other. We at the Islands, to compare small things with great, stand in regard to those countries a good deal as the United States stood in regard to England in 1790. The United States at that time applied to England fox a treaty of reciprocity in the carrying trade.

England refused to enter into such an arrangement, wishing, perhaps, to deprive the United States, as far as possible, of an active commerce in her own bottoms. Tbs United States in self-defense, passed a navy bill restricting English vessels to the same rulo that England applied to American This was the commencement of the protective tariff in tbe United States. They concluded to adopt the UBaca or the tafin. factoring n.i3 i worll, und tbey, after sonij jeara' trial, thought that jirotex-tion worked ro woll, lvi they im-1 proved on the usage, and have continued it, with frequent changes, to puit the manufacturing in terePta, up to the present time. All nations, bo tar as we can learn from history, have protected their industries until they became well established.

Such protection in infancy is natural. Manufactures in a nation do not spring into existence at once. First in a nation comes agriculture, next commerce, and then manufactures. The beginning is weak, and the progress is slow and easily impeded. Look along our streets as you pats, and you will see a box or cask set here and there along the edge of the sidewalks.

There is a seed planted in the ground, and it must be protected until it come up. After the seed sends up a young shoot, and it has grown up above the box, the first protection is removed, and a post is 6ct by the shoot to hold it up until it can stand alone. By and by its roots take hold of the soil, it grows up to be a tree, the post is taken away, and the tree sends out its branches in defiance of the storms, and stands a column of strength, giving protection in turn to man. So with manufactures. One of the first cares of wise rulers in ell nations has always been to assist their industries until they could stand alone and help themselves.

When tiie United States Senate in 1824 put high protective duties on cotton and woolen goods to aid her young manufacturing interests, England the same year reduced the duties 10 cents per pound on wool to aid her manufactures and commerce. Wc need protection now while we are young as a nation. When wc become well established, we shall not require protection. When we can produce ten times as much as we can consume; when we shall be obliged to seek a market in everj' part of the world to sell our manufactures when we can buy 150,000,000 pounds of cotton for, say $20,000,000, and can sell it again, after our laborers have worked it over with our homemade machinery, for $100,000,000, as England has done, and is doing, then perhaps we can proclaim free trade," and try to cajole our pur chasers into buying our productions without charging us any duties and we will, remaps, return the favor by charging them from 33 to 60 per cent, duties on sugar, and about 500 per cent, on tobacco, as England and the United States are charging us at present. Putting the question on the ground of an equal exchange, we should put duties on imports in Kelt-defense Why was the reciprocity treaty, lately attempted by us with the Lnited States, not ratified at Washington Simply because the United States Government did not see the benefit ot throwing away so much revenue.

As matters now stand, we arc paying to the United States about a year for the privilege of selling our sugars in their market, and we get about $80,000 of it back again in duties on American goods. Let the exchange be made equal, and eee how quick the objections will disappear about the ratification of the treaty ot reciprocity. We are sending year by year out of this country over $200,000 to buy things that we are prepared to make here, and as much as $100,000 of that money is lost yearly, beyond recovery to this country. It ia paid for labor in foreign lands, instead of being jaid to our laborers here. This estimate is probably far below the exact amount but let even $100,000 be saved yearly in our community and we would soon see the good effects arising from it.

At the same time our young men and voung women would be acquiring industrious habits, and skill in labor, they would be getting the means of procuring Homes, and rendering them in a degree comfortable. There are hundreds who are now idling away their time, and who, like all idle persons, are more or less in mischief, who would, if our manufactures were encouraged, be earning an honest and respectable living. Although $100,000 a year may seem to be a small sum to save, jet it would soon tell on the prosperity of this community. It would increase in amount as our skilled labor increased, until our streams, that are now in many places running idly to the sea, by forsaken villages, with here and there a few men and women lying lazily on the banks, would be turning the ever busy wheels of factories. Instead of the present unbroken silence; save the murmcrof tbe running waters, we should hear the hum and clank of machinery, and see men and.

women coming at the sound of the factory bells to pass the days in remunerative labor, and leaching their children habits of industry. $100,000 a year thus saved would build and fund an hospital on each of the islands of the group in ten years it would build and fund a college on each j) the large inlands. There is another source of outgo by this unequal regulation of duties. Our planters make sugar, but they cannot drink it, nor wear it, or work with it. If a planter wishes California wines, or American boots, or machinery, and ishes to exchange sugar for them, he must pay a high tax on the exchange.

Suppose he wants $10,000 worth of American products, he must send about $10,000 worth of sugar to pay for them, or, in other words, he must pay abont GO per cent, for the privilege of purchasing his goods in the American market. The same inequality of trade is against us in England, and almost all the rest of the world. Of course the planter takes vory good care that as little as possible of this enormous tax On our la6or comes out of his pocket; consequently be can only afford ta pay vory low wages for his There is where the inequality injustice The poor liavyaiian must suffer the loss, and' the result to him is hopeless toil and endless poverty! What we want is to remedy this tax on our labor, find give the Hawaiian a chance to and be an independent citizen; Give the Hawaiian laborer a chance to earn enough to feed and clothe his family, and provide something for old age. All we ask is free trade as it applies to us here this country. To not protect our industries, under the existing circumstances, is about as unwise as it would be for an army' to go to battle with only their naked bodies and bare' bands against an army of trained soldiers with all the pi iances of war.

Some things require more protection than others. Each particular impost must be justified, or not, by the considerations which induce it, or ti consequences which flow from it. American manufactures were in a great state of activity at t' close of the war of 1815, but within three years thereafter they were entirely ruined by tlie rivalry of England. Protection came to their relief, and they again revived and prospered, and in a few years were able to rival tlieir old antagonist in many productions in foreign markets. England can very well afford to take the duties off of most things.

She is well established. She has immense machinery doing the labor of of men, and an army of skilled laborers to direct its movements and assists in working it. Until very recently, she could manufacture and sell for less than any other nation could sell to her, and her best policy was to set an example of free trade, hoping that neighboring nations would reciprocate. Other nations have failed to see it in that light. Belgium is now sending manufactured articles to England for less than English prices, and the manufacturers are clamorous for protection against Belgium.

The working people of England, in some of her late mass meetings, passed the following resolution That the principle of free trade should be based on an equality of international exchanges, but other nations not having adopted the principle, it has become injurious to England, and is the cause of the present depression of trade, the want of employment, and tbe increase of pauperism. This meeting therefore consider it their duty to the government to institute an immediate inquiry into the working of our commercial policy, with a view of ascertaining how far this unreciprocated free trade contributes towards producing this depression, want of employment, and pauperism, and to what extent it may be limited so as to produce an effectual remedy." Mr. Cobden and his co-laborers promised the working classes of England increased wages under free trade. But what has been the result? Poverty and starvation. England's early policy was always to foster and protect her own industries.

In the eighteenth century, when the Dutch ships were doing a large share of the carrying trade, and were rivals in commerce, England prohibited Dutch vessels from carrying any but their productions into English ports, thereby effectually ruining Dutch commerce, and establishing her own. And continuing the protection farther, she gave a bounty on oil taken in English vessels, to the amount of over in all, to encourage her industries in that direction. The only chance we nave at present for an income is in sugar and whaling. The sugar can all be worked by cheap labor from China. whaling can "be done by our Bora of Hawaii.

There are ncujih natives to man all tbe wbaie- snip rrnvtsx or wnicn -we may have, and nougli to dioar tauuat'actariag tin, If there nre not er-ough iur both, then introduce. other laborers from" abroad into the different trades. Let us not lose sight of the one point keep our capital at home. Do not send it out year after year where we shall never see it again. Keep it here.

Use it here among our own people. Circulate it among our manufacturers, and, through the home to all the community. Let the people buy lands with it. Let them feed and clothe their families with it, but do not give it to distant lands, where it is loet to us forever. When $200,000 a year goes, out of this country, there goes out the labor of nearly 700 men for one year at one dollar per day.

Capital and labor are the same. Capital is labor accumulated and a nation that sends her accumulated labor away from her shores year after year without an equivalent, must sooner or later become bankrupt. It is conceded that individuals cannot prosper without the nation to which they belong prospering in proportion, for nations are composed ot individuals. If we set our people to work mak-in such articles as can be made here, and protect them by a duty on such goods from abroad, we can find employment for at least 1,000 laborers. Please bear in mind that we do not ask protection for anything but what we are prepared to make here.

To be concluded next week. 1858. JOS. W. KING, 1869.
