The Presidents message contains
good things and bad. AS literary
production it cannot be called other
than common place. AS State
paper it nowhere rises above the
deal level of mediocrity. 1t contains
no ideas that will survive the oc
casion. 1t is sound on the money
question, drops the Cutting case as
though the Administration bad dis
abled its pen in the gigantic contest
with Mexico, and treats Civil Service
reform in a way that is not less than
grotesque when it is remembered
that the President has departed
from his pledges whenever the
humor was OH him.
The message takes the free trade
view of the tariff question, as Mr..
Carlisle or Mr.. Morrison would take
it if either were President. The
President maintains that tariff on
imports is necessarily a tax paid by
the consumer TO the American man.
ufacturer; that the way to reduce
custom revenues is to further re-
duce the tariff rates. He assures
the farmer that the manufacturer is
plundering him, and holds up before
him pitiful picture of his tax ridden
home which will water with tears
the land of every American farmer.
The wageearner employed in mann.
featuring industries is told that the
present protective system wrongs
him greatly. All this the President
would remedy by reducing duties in
order to allow greater freedom of
importation. The farmer being
robbed by the manufacturer of glass,
earthenware, iron, steel, fabrics and
the like, the President would cut
down the duties on all these pro-
duets and take from no man engag-
ed in producing them any work or
any wages. He would extract sun
shine from cucumbers.
The President does not seem to
understand that revenues can be cut
down BY increasing duties and to
that extent discoWaging the
purchase of foreign wares that
ought to give work and wages to
American workmen. He does not
seem to understand that manufac-
tured articles never were so cheap
in this country as they are to day.
If the President desired to furnish
the Republican party with good
campaign material he has achieved
d brilliant success. Republicans can
well afford to meet him on his own
ground and on that go to the
country.-Intelligencer.

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD SATURDAY, DEC. IL 18s

The newspaper press is a mirror
which gives back to each public
man the image which he casts upon
it. If he smiles, it smiles. If he
scowls, it scowls. In a word, it rips
with old EURIPIDEs, and cants with
old CANTARIDEs, and is rather
a good fellow as times go, albeit the
coat it wears is a trife rough, and to
say truth, its linen might be cleaner.
True wisdom neither flatters the
press, nor is afraid of it. Though
he had better have a bad epitaph
than endure its i'll opinion, no man
need put himself to the trouble of
seeking its good will or of Sinking
its ill will, for, being so yariously
constructed and handled, it is in the
long run pretty sure to strike gen.
eral average not very far from the
truth. There is something in the
opportunity in daily utterance that
liberalizes, if it does not enlarge, the
thought of those who possess it.
He must indeed be surly brute, who
having pen constantly in his hand
and a press right at his elbow, is al
ways out humor and unjust. By far
the greater number Of those who
write for newspapers are genial men
at heart, who, in the exuberance of
hasty production and in the need to
be entertaining and striking, may
violate the canons of refinement and
justice more frequently than it falls
to the occasion of other educated
men to do. But there is, in this, a
kind of selfadjusting equipois,
which is rarely unwilling or unable
to righten wrongs, and, where it is
unwilling or unable, there are IN our
people good sense and good feeling
which quickly assert themselves and
force the DEGREES of a court from
which there IS no appeal. This
court is Public Opinion, which no
newspaper can successfully defy,
and on which no outraged citizen
ever threw himself in vain.-Courier-
Journal.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

As everyone KNOWS, IL was not an
easy matter to write message that
would meet with the approval of
both wings of the Democratic party,
since they have failed to flap to-
gethern as predicted, and the Presi-
dent has failed if he intended to
cover that impossible step in his
recommendations to Congress-
Presidential messages were origi.
nally intended as executive sugges-
lions to Congress on important ques-
tons demanding attention. but now
they are used more in the light of
political reviews and government
apologiSms. On the whole, Cleve-
lands message is well meaning
political essay,-fayorably CRITICS
ed by the administration organs,
and taken by the opposition press
and political leaders as a good cam.
paign document. Cleveland did
not try to please any particular part
of the public, the press or the politi-
clans, except on the tariff question.
His IDEAS may be all right, but we
believe that the recent elections
have shown a popular feeling against
charging the free list of imports
CheapnesS is not so much what the
country wants as it does qcork and
'odges, and buying foreign goods or
even taking them for nothing will
not benefit American labor. The
treasury surplus is a source of evil,
but there are other ways of IT due.
ing it without resorting to free trade.
The civil service laws he thinks are
not upheld sufficiently, and they
never will be. He recommends the
payment Of the losses by the & Freed
mans Savings Bank" and as far as
possible it would be creditable act.
He maintains the same position on
the silver question as he did in his
first message, though his party is
against his policy.
The report of the Secretary of the
treasury recommends the repeal of
the act making compulsory treasury
purchases of silver. He is also in
favor of reduction of taxes and reve-
nue., close down to the necessities OF
the government, but how it is to be
done is not SO plain. Taxes on
whiskey and tobacco he wants re-
tanned, but wool he would keep on
the " freeo list. This will not meet
with the approval of farmers. The
subjects of tariff and finance are
complicated, and there does not
seem to be any decided and safe
policy so far advocated. There are
conflicting interests of individuals,
manufactures and geographical sec.
tions, that are hard to deal with sat
isfactorily, and the adjustment of all
these difficulties will have to be en-
trusted more to time than to legisla-
ton. In our opinion there will be
no change in the condition of the
country for years to come, unless
something unusual turns up, either
in the way of radical political and
legislative revolution or prolonged
foreign war. If there were neces.
sary government works to be carried
on, the surplus revenue might find
profitable outlet. Improvements,
inventions aid productions seem to
have kept up with demand and pop
ulation, and twenty-five years of ad.
vancement in the past may be equal
to fifty to come.
