industrial interests, more than repay to the country at large any money
that may be so expended.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _June 17, 1876_.
_To the Senate and House of Representatives_:

up to this time to provide the necessary means to continue all the
functions of Government make it my duty to call your attention to the
embarrassments that must ensue if the fiscal year is allowed to close
without remedial action on your part.
