What the New York Evening Journals
Think of 1t.
NEW YORK, December 3d.-In an editorial the
World (Dem says; Though tinged with bitter
partisanship, the message is an important one
and deserving the careful consideration of every
American citizen.
The Sun (Dem.) says: The message must be
regarded, all in all, as creditable prediction.
The Commercial Aduertiser Qnd) says: The
message, as whole, is a weak opening to the
Republican campaign. 1t will do no execution
in the enemys ranks.
The Post Qnd.) says: II is timorous dealing
with both the tariff and the silver questions bat
in this undoubtedly typifies the state of mind of
the Republican party on the whole.
BLAND DISSATISFIED.
WASHINGTON, December 3d.-Bland of Mis-
souri,, the Democratic leader on the silver ques-
tion, saws: "The Presidents message on he
silver question IS vague and incooclusiye. He
claims 70 be friend OF silver, but while he de-
sireS it in our circulation he counsels little of
it as possible, hence he has not cotned more
than 81, o 0,000 worth of silver por month, thus
following in the footsteps of his predecessors.
He refers to the views of the Secretary of the
Treasury as to the issuing OF certificates on the
market value of silver bullion, but we are not
informed as to what the plan of the Secretary
may be, therefore cannot now intelligently crit
iclZe the plan. The President Is evidently in
doubt imself on the subject of silver coinage.
1t is difficult to understand one who does not
understand himself
AR. MORROW VIEWS.
WASHINGTON, December 3d.-Mr. Morrow,
commenting on the message, rays: THE Presi-
Cent is correct in saying that we are large pro-
ducers of silver and should not discredit it, but
his views concerning Tree coinage or even an
increase Of coinage are more conservative than
l expected. | am of course, not familiar with
the plan presented by the secretary of the
Treasury for the issuance of notes or certificates
upon deposit of silver bullion at its market
value. l hope the plan proposed will secure
ha " n n re rnzifi n
equality with gold. l cannot believe that any
danger can arise from an increase OF silver coin
age even up TO the limit OF free coinage.
I'm dealing with the Chinese question the
President recognizes the necessity for the total
exclusion of Chinese immigration. and refers to
the difficulty encountered in enforcing the Ex-
clusion Act on the Northwestern frontier The
difficulties almost defeat the law and in my
judgment Congress must provide further legis-
lation upon the subject. We must provide for
the registration of every Chinaman in the
United States and the issuing OF certificates TO
those now here. We must then provide for he
deportation fall Cinnamon found in the United
States after such registration without such GER
tifcates."
MR.. BARTINE's COMMENTS.
WASHINGTON, December 3d.-Mr. Bartine, OF
Nevada, who will take strong place in the
fight tor silver coinage, said to-day The Pres
idents utterances on the Chinese question are
entirely satisfactory. That part of the message
which treats of silver coinage will be acceptable
10 lle ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. WHO Will IO uOuUt tOll-
slider it great triumph to prevent an increase
of coinage
"Ihe President assumes that free coinage
would be dangerous, but it is q mere aSsump-
ton. He admits, however, that the evils antici-
pated ffom the present law have not been real
lied, and this fact nearly destroys the force of
the predictions OF evil to follow from free coin
age. NO one can tell TO certainty what the
effect of free coinage will be until ii is tried"
SENATOR HERMANN's SAY.
Z
Oregon says In regard to his message. his refer
ence to the Chinese question, though brief, Will
prove eminently satisfactory to the people of my
State. He advises further Congre ssional action,
and frankly argues that this class of the lator
element so common within the Pacific states is
incompatible with our social relations and
should be excluded.
This statement is in harmony with that of the
most pronounced Chinese plai form OF either
political party. This expression from the Chief
Magistrate will meet cordial approval from the
people at large, and the party at large on the
Pacific coast.
His wish as to recognition for the resident
Chinese among us for '.just and humane
treatment would not have been deemed
necessary had he known our people on the
coast moe intimately, as 1t is only the truth to
say that the Chinese. as a class are not unjustly
treated by the better element of our population
but on the contrary their claim for just and hu-
name treatment has been and is recognized
among u.s. and most generally accorded them.
that we have resorted to violence to exclude
these people, and that there exists a public
sentiment against them.
This is an error. Where an occasional act of
personal violence was inflicted it was always at
the hands of lawless combinations, which the
laws of the States invariably followed and Sc
verely punished. By this message the Presi-
dent places himself on a firm footing with our
coast on this question and is in sympathy with
Congress in its efforts to effect more complete
restriction.
HOSEA TOWNSEND ON SILVER.
WASHINGTON, December 3d.-Hosea Townsend,
of Colorado, said: II am decidedly opposed to
the plan of the secretary OF the Treasury to issue
notes certificates upon deposit of silver bullion
at its market value. am heartily in favor of
free coinage. If we cannot get free coinage l
want the monthly purchase of silver bullion in
creased to four million dollars. The silver
dollars which have been coined during the last
few years at the rate of two millions per month
have all gone into circulation through their rep
reseptatives, silver certificates. l believe a
much larger amount, namely, four millions per
month, would just as readily go into general
circulation. and be ct once absorbed by the
