a COLOSSAL CROAKER.
The President in the Role of Falls,
Prophet of impending Evil.


The President in the Role of a False
Prophet of Impending Evil.
President Cleveland has been cred
tied with a quality which for want Of
u better name is called "leyel-headed.
ness" But this desirable characteristic
appears to have served him to but lit
tie purpose when he prepared his mes
sage 1t is made up of startling exag-
gerations and attenuated sOphisms.
The exaggerations are the worst part
Of his message. They are those Of a
sensational aarmist, and lack to a
great extent the valuable element of
truth
In his message the President draws
a CHASTITY picture Of a financial panic
that never existed. He says that the
Treasury surplus cripples National
energies, suspends the coun.ry's devel-
opments, prevents investment in pro-
ductive enterprises and "threatens
financial disturbance. He implies
that this has been the condition of af-
fairs for year or SO, aud that "iinan-
cial CONFUSION and widespread dsas-
ter" threaten the country-that the
danger, though not "palpably immi-
nent and apparent" exists none the
less certainly, and, in substance, that
it is liable to be precipitated " at any
time.
Now, this sensational language is
not only absurd and false. but, coming
from the President officially, is mis-
chievously absurd and false. Business
and industrial interests of the country
have not been endangered. The coun-
try has not been crippled. There has
been no hesitation in making invest
ments There has been no percept-
ible Financial disturbance. None of
the evils that he describes in strong
language have existed. There is no
danger ahead, except such rs his
clamorous alarms and hysterical warn
ings may excite.
On the other hand. the country has
never been rs prosperous, as pro-
gressive, as full OF activity, or grow
ing as rapidly as it has within the last
year and a half. No legitimate in
dustry or trade has Suffered for want
of money. There has never be-
fore been so much money in the
hands of the people. A few
blaekleg spectators, buying what
they don't want and selling
what they haven't got. p" have been dis
tressed because bankers demanded
good security for loans, No other
c.ass have been pinched or straight
ened. Wages were never better Profits
were never greater. And this uni
versal prosperity is on a sound basis,
and is stimulated by a supply OF
money sufficient for every want Of
wholesome trade.
1t is no light thing that the Presi-
dent Of this Nation should make him
self false prophet of eviI--a colossal
eroaker IN regard to danger that does
not exist-that he should falsclt and
DANGEROUSLY declare that the country
is on the brink of disaster. bankruptcy
and ruin. This portion of the Presi-
dents message is a vast, bull-necked
and malignant falsehood. 1t is libel
on the country of stupendous proper
tons and fragrant criminality. Chi
