such sale oftwo medical preparations could

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

As in duty bound. President
Cleveland addressed his second
annual message to congress on Mon
day last, and it is more remarkable
for its length than for Il anything
else. It Is ex csedingly long. and
abounds in long arrays OF facts and
figures gathered from the various
departments, and number of-recom.
msndatiens for legislation. The
most prominent feature is that Of
tariff reform. The nation is face to
face with the fact that its income is
too large, and the Pre- sident urges a
reduction by revising and decress.
ing the the duties on imports. The
doctrine of free trade is rather implied
than expressed, but sufficiently
clearly indicated to define tho views
Of the president. That thetariff needs
overhauling is very evident, but it is
net clear asto the character and extent
of the reductions which will best
promote the prosperity Of all classes.
Absolute free trade is the only tena-
bic posi- ton as q matter of theory. and
a p rotective tariff as a matter of
practical expedesncy. Where the
golden mean lies is mat
ter which has puzzled political econ.
omists for ages. sand 1t safe to say it
will not be discovered before the
fourth Of next March. a,.,.T D.. -
The President favors q contraction
Of silver coinage, which is good
doctrine, for silver dullars are piling
mountains high in the treasury
vaults and most emphatically refuse
to move or be moved. ...r.s i.n..aa -
Taken all in all, the message is a
good average document of its class.
which will be read by few and
needed by none. 1t is not Of absorb.
ing interest to the average reader.
and conveys only such Information as
Is always public property. !" That
legislation will be perceptibly

by the President himself. ~ .ssaia.#,
