The Message on America's Foreign and Financial Affairs
The 1895 message to Congress reviews foreign policy and the national finances. It condemns greenbacks and silver issues, urges arbitration for the Venezuelan dispute, notes Brazil, China, Japan, and Britain relations, and outlines the need to retire United States notes while urging practical currency reform to restore confidence and prosperity. The president also addresses Hawaii, Cuba, Turkey, and immigration concerns, urging lawful conduct and measured responses.
