We are now at peace with the world, and it is my fervent prayer that if differences arise between us and other powers they may be settled by peaceful arbitration and that hereafter we may be spared the horrors of war.
To single out for payment a few claims of this large class to the exclusion of all others would, in my judgment, be unjust.
Now I have the satisfaction to announce that the Congress just closed has reduced taxation in the sum of $41,000,000.
