lie Message

| The Presidents message is q volu.
minous snd comprehensive document,
written with admirable ciearne>s, and
presenting, in a s'rsight forward. earnest
manner, the views OF tlerew Executive
on The various questions now demanding
ruldic attention. 1t is paper full OF
information and interest to every ci,z n
and will give carti ,ence to those who
we're disposed to doubt the oapacity of a
Democratic President to administer the
sfiairs OF the Governmen'. The import.
ant questions rela'ing to finance, to eur-
rencv, to com mercr, and to ,dustry are
all ably AMI fearlessly discussed, and a.
though his views on certsrn OF these
questions NAV not be in harm my with
portion OF his own psrtv, yet all will all
NIT the honesty and good faith Of the
President in the advocacy OF his opin-
ions. It is j,st such paper as might
he expected from one who, like Presi.
dent CLEvEL.Np. has opinions OF bis
own. with the willingness AMI ability to
express them.
The silver qlestion and the civil ser
vice are The two subjects which occupy
most space in the argumsnta'ive part OF
the message, and upon both OF thss', the
President adheres to the position be had
already taken. That Is. he recommends
the suspension OF silver coinage, and re.
news his declaration 10 favor OF civil
servics reform.
In reference to the Tsriffs he Is con-
servative, and while be thinks tfst re-
duction should be made, yet he sdvisea
that it be made with caution, ani only
upon imported necesssties Of life

statute, to prevent the Importation Of
Mormons into this country.
The Chinese q1sstion also receives at
tention, and while it is insisted that the
Chinese nov within our territory shall
be treated fairly and justly, ye, the lave
10 prevent Chinese importation are sp-
proved, and, il they be made q, ,ate, FUR.
lher measures in that direction are,re-
commended.
The Nicsrsgua C,nal and E.o's ship

President, for he insists that, whatever
highway may be constructed acro.s 8 the
