President Urges Reforms and Free Trade Measures
The president's message calls for releasing surplus to the people, cheaper life necessities, and freer import materials produced by American labor. It also endorses reforms in customs, coast defenses, and fortifications, recommends paying mail carriers, appointing a commission for Indian lands, and arbitration by the labor bureau. Civil service reform receives ongoing support, amid broader details across government. The Indianapolis Sentinel notes possible fights among Republicans over Harrison and Porter for Senate, while local items include a new school building, a railway conductor, and community notices including a horse purchase rumor and a farewell gathering.
