r,.E rREs,pENr-s MESSAGE.

The great dailies have Published the
Presidents message. We have not space
for even an extended synopsis Of il. As
a literary production il is hardly up 10
the average. In judgment it is neither
great nor altogether small. 1t is fair in
places and narrow in others. To write q
paper or message Of this character is one
Of the easiest tasks in the world. The
President has before him the data and re-
ports Of ell his Cabinet officers, with their
recommendations touching the various
branches Of the public service. The Sec
rotary OF State deals with our foreign al
fairs, the Secretary Of the Treasury treats
OF the financial situation, and so or
through the list. 1t does not require phe'
nominal ability to weave them al to-
gether into narrative form. Spread the
same facilities before any clever newspa-
per man and he will write q Presidents
message 10 three hours, q work which
usually occupies the Chief Executive for
several months. We are not especially
i~nveighing against President Harrison's
ability to write. Our criticism in this
regard applies TO all Presidents. We are
merely explaining that we are never pre-
pared to gush over ~anybody's message,
knowing how they are made. The great
papers which are so enthusiastically lsud'
ing Harrison's late message should at the
same time laud his Cabinet, because IL is
the combined work and wisdom Of all.
The chief point Of interest to the people
Of Nevada in the document is what it
contains on the subject Of silver. The
President is squarely against free coinage,
and repeats all Of the old gold bug chest
nuts in support Of his opposition. He
says free silver will drive all Of the gold
out of the country and produce a none
tary crisis and panic. 1t seems to us that
we have somewhere heard that same re-
mark before. 1t is the Presidents guess
as to what would happen, that's all, for
there is not a single tangible argument to
be adduoed in support Of the assumption.
On the contrary the demonstrated facts
and experience since partial remonetisa-
ton in 1878 are all against it. But the
President is q gold bug and has as good a
right to guess as any other gold bug.
None of them ever put forth anything
that rises to the dignity Of an argument.

SILVER

Congressman Bland-Silver Dick, as
be is called-will introduce a free silver
coinage bill in the House after the COM
mittees are appointed. 1t will be very
much like the one which passed the SEN
ate at the last session, but which got
stranded in the House. Bland says:
"The fluctuations in the price Of silver
during the past Summer will not have
any effect on the friends Of free coinage.
To. night l see that England has ordered
81, 600, COO OF silver coined. This will
raise the price Of silver here. and if to-
morrow the order was co~untermanded
silver would fall again. When a free
coinage silver bill is passed, then the
price will cease to hnctuate. The silver
question will be fought harder in the
coming Congress than it has ever been
fought before"
Senator Stewart has also introduced 3
free coinage bill. About all Of the Dem.
ocrats in both Houses, and a few West
ern Republicans, will vote for a measure
Of the character indicated. But there
sits B. H. with the last say. 1t is earn
estly to be hoped. however, that . free
coinage bill will be showed under his
noaa

THE BOTTOM q

As we surmised at the time, there was
q great deal Of Presidential politics in the
late contest for the Speskership Of the
House Of Representatives.. Discussing,
or rather commenting on the result Of
the battle the New York Herald says:
All this balloting has been worse than
useless. The object OF the contestants
has not been to elect a fitting aud we'll
equipped chairman simply, but to push
the claims Of Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Hill
in the coming Presidential campaig0.
The fight was waged in the interest OF .
f~avorite candidate who stood in the back.
ground, but who hopes to come to the
front next year.
In other words. the sole purpose in
view has been to tell the people OF this
country that they shall vote on this and
that issue, for this or that man, in 1892,
and for nc other issue and no other man.
The caucus was divided into Cleveland
and Hill camps and was engaged in moth.
ing more nor less than a struggle to jam
down the throsts Of the country the can
didacy Of two men, each of whom is plan
ming to spend the next four years in the
White House.
The people already see through the
game and have become restless. They
are not 10 be led like A bull with A ring
in his nose. They have minds Of their
wi and have a way of expressing their
opinions at the polls. The feeling is
abroad that the personal ambition Of Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Hill may seriously
split the Democratic party.
1t would therefore be folly to take the
hazard with either at a time when q new
man, q man from the West, would unite
all factions and lead the party to a sure
| success.

NOT AVAILABLE.

II any one supposes that the election
of the Speaker will have any effect on
the Democratic nomination for President,
30 far as l~essening the prospect of Mr..
Cleveland's nomination, they commit an
error Of judgment. While it may be con-
ceded that here and there there is oppo-
sition to him within the party, and that
there are e number Of prominent men in
that category. the overwhelming senti-
ment of the Democracy is in favor Of his
name being placed at the head OF the
ticket.-Grass Valley Union.
We do not believe that a majority oil
the Democratic party is for the re-nomi
nation Of Mr.. Cleveland. There is q large
element in the party that is not only not
Jealous for him, but is positively and ag.
gressively against him. 1t is idle to talk
about running him. He might by a great
scratch win the fight by carrying the
South, New York, New Jersey, Connec-
ticut and Indiana. but on no other line
would he stand the ghost OF a show. He
cannot carry a single State west Of Iudi-
ma, while q candidate favorable to silver
would stand an even chance of carrying
the States named as well as from forty
to City electoral votes in the West. Why
not choose 3 candidate who will embrace
the whole field and all Of the chances OF
success. Why narrow the fight to four
doubtful States. Ii is the political man.
agement of infants to do anything Of the
kind.

The Mail and Express places the sup
porters of Hill and Cleveland respect
lively as follows: "Tsmmsny Hall and
the vast majority Of the country Democ-
racy are for Hill. A few interior dis.
tricts and the bulk of the Brooklyn De-
mocracy, with the County Democracy Of
New York City. are for Cleveland. The
great Democratic political machine in
this State is on the Governors side. The
State. Committee is almost unanimously
for him, and all the wires that radiate
from the Executive Chamber, and the
chief-sources Of patronage. are controlled
by the cunning hand Of the Governor"

TILE ACT.

Does the President stop to think that
even from the gold bug point Of view the
present bullion commodity silver law Is
worse than free coinage. 1t piles up IN
the Treasury practically as much silver
as would be placed there under free coin
age, while failing to raise the price Of
silver, or in any manner closing up the
gap between gold and silver. II is not
the bulk but the price that is desired.
The value Of silver can only be enhanced
by giving to it the full monetary func.
ton. Any legislation that loses sight OF
this important factor is worse than no
legislation at all. The President makes
the point in his message that the present
silver law was at the time Of its passage
satisfactory to the friends of silver. Ii
must have been satisfactory to the Re
publican silver men, because they voted
for it, but it was never approved by the
Democratic advocates of the white metal
because they voted against it. There
was more Republican politics than friend
ship for silver in the commodity law.
The bill was simply passed to save the
mining States to the Republican party il
the then pending elections and to r%e'elec'
Jones, Teller and others to the Senate,
The bill was not passed by the votes o.
the friends of silver, but by those of i'll
enemies. All told in both Houses, there
were not twenty free coinage men whit
supported the Sherman commodity Act
The passage of the bill was not the worl
Of the friends of silver, and the Presiden
has nc right to charge it upon them.

In the Washington dispatches Of a Re.
publican paper il is said that "the social
events Of the White House the coming
season will exceed in brilliancy anything
witnessed during this administration. "
The Harrison administration does well to
make the most of its present opportuni-
ties for merriment. After the great
American voter has been heard from on
the evening Of November s. 1892, there
will be no more real rejoicing in the
White House until the Democratic Pres
ident moves in.

THE POLICY DEFINED.

The message is very frank upon the
silver question, however widely the Pres
ident's views may differ from those OF q
large number of people. He comes out
squarely against free coinage. while hop.
ing for an international agreement where.
by q definite ratio between gold and sill
YER may be established. A great many
Republicans will regret that the Presi-
dent has seen fit to draw the line which
will doubtless determine the position OF
the Republican party upon the ques-
on.-Sacramento Bee.
There is still q chance that something
may be done for silver by Congress this
Winter. But if nothing be done it is
apparent to everybody that the Republi-
can National Convention next June must
inevitably declare against free coinage.
About all of the State conventions of that
party SO declared last Fall. Harrison
will unquestionably be the Republican
candidate, and in r~e.nominating him his
party must indorse his position. There
is hope that the Democratic party will
give us both a free coinage platform and
a free coinage candidate. Should this
hope fail as, also. il will become the
highest duty of the people Of the mining
States, irrespective Of party. to uuite in
sending men to the Electoral College who
will abandon all other considerations for
the promotion Of the cause of silver. Po'
litical parties are close in this country.
and the sixteen votes from the mining
States might hold the balance OF power
in naming the President. VIZ could not
lose anything by making the experiment.
On the contrary we bring our cause all
the more prominently before the country
and in the end force a just recognition
of IL
