The President's Message to Congress.

President Roosevelt sent Ma Mes tage to Congress on December 4 h. It opens with a reference to the, assassination of President McKiniey, to whoae high qualities a warm tribute If 'paid. President Roosevelt recom mends Congress to take into considera tion the coming iofco the United ■ tates of Anarchists or persona professing principles hostile to all self-govnrn merit and Justifying the murder of those placed in authority. All civilised Powers by treaties ehou d d-clarnt.be Crimes of the Anarchists an offencn against the law of nations, like piracy iud the slave trado. The Message nest rf>£e»s to the •abounding prosperity of the country, and nays j«—

The tremendous and highly complex Industrial development which went on *Ith ever accelerated rnpidifey daring the latter half of the nineteenth cen tury brings ua face to fnce, at the beginning of the twentieth, with very SQnoBB social problmcn. The building op of -great; industrial centres has metk-at a startling increase not merely in the aggregate of wealth, but in the mam her of very large individual and especially of very large corporate for tunes. The creation of these great corporate fortunes is not due to thn tariff nor to other governmental ac fion, but to natural causes in the business of the world, operating in other countries m they operate in ours.

The prpceßa haß aroused mach anta gonism, & great p*rt of which h wholly QBwarranted. It ia untrue that as the rich have grows richer the poor have grown poorer. On the contrary, never before has the average man—the wage worker, farmer, small trader—been so well of! in the United States. There have been- abuses connected with the aecmmnlatioDS of wealth, Tet the fortune accumulated in legitimate busi ness can be accumulated by the person especially benefited only on the con dition of conferring icomens'3 incidental benefits upon others. The cap lama of industry, who h»ve driven railway systems across the Continent, built op commerce, and developed manufactures have, on the whole, done great good to %b& people. Without them the mate rial development of which we are so lastly proud could flever have taken place. Moreover, we sh uld recognise the immense importance in this mate rial development of leaving nnhamper ed, so f&r as is compatible with the public good, the strong, forceful msn apoo whom the success of business operations inevitably rests,

THE MONROE DOCTRINE. After commenting on the tariff sys tem and the Isthmian Canal, and stat ing that the United States hßd not the slightest desire to secure any terri tory from its neighbours, bat wished to work with them hand in hand, so that all of them might be lifted op to gether, the President says :•— We do not wish to see any Old World military Power grow up on this Conticeafc, or to be compelled to be come a military Power ourselves. The peoples of the Americiß prosper best It left to work out (heir own salvation In their own way. The work of build ing rap the Navy mast steadily con tinue. AH we want is peacp 8 and to wards this end we wkh to be able to ffecore the same respect for our rights from others which we are eager and anxioQß to extend to their rights in re tarr» To er.rare the fair treatment ot the United States commercially, and to guarantee the safety of the Ameri can people, oar ppople intrnd to insist upon the Munroe Doctrine as the one care means of securing peace in the Western Hemisphere, Thn Navy offers the only means of making our insis tence upon the Doctrine anything bufe j a subject of derision to whatever nation I itihoosejs to disregard ifc. We deaire the peace which comes as of light to the fast man armed—not the peace granted oa terms of ignominy to a craven and weakling.' It is unnecessary to increase the Army, bat to ksep Ifc at the highest point of efficiency a General Staff should be created The President concluded by paying ft warm tribute to the memory of Queen Victoria, Me McKinley, and the Empress Frederick
