NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The World says:
1t is q characteristic document, plain
spoken, honest. terse and patriotic. The
president shows the chief responsibility
for the financial troubles just where the
business men of all parties have fixed it
upon the Sherman law. His statement of
facts are undeniable. His conclusions
are irresistible to all open and candid
minds. The presidents meaning in
the last sentence doubtless is that power
shoald be explicitly given the admins
tration to reinforce the supply of gold
when necessary; such authority is needed
and should be given.
The Sun, commenting on the presi-
DENTS reference to tariff reform, says:
We congratulate Democracy on the fact
that the president recognizes squarely
and honestly the validity of the pledge.
There is no sign OF repudiaJion.
The Journal Of Commerce: The presi-
dents message is strong, broad and in
the wisest sense q polite document.
Strong for it states with great clearness
and simplicity the duty of Congress at
marizes very fully the facts of the exist
ing situation and their connection with
the silverpurchase law; polite for while
it suggests no compromise and holds out
no vain hopes of international agreement
for an enlargement of silver, and in short
makes no effort to conciliate silver men
in Congress, it does show the workingmen
of the country, the potent element in the
voting population, how disastrously he
would be affected by the cheapening of q
dollar.
The Tribune: The president has done
his part well. These are manly and
strong words and they leave little dispo-
sition TO suggest that the resDonsb ility
has rested with him since the fourth OF
March. and that every days delay since
that time might have been avoided if he
had called Congress together. If mis-
taken in deferring action he is plainly
| to do it's part with promptness, without
distinction of party. Men who care for
the public welfare will sustain him
wherever he's so clearly in the right.
The Iymes-There is not trace of par
tisanship or of that much more subtle
temptation for men In high place-pride
of opinion. There is nothing in it that
can offend any sections any class or even
any faction. The legislation which is sc
far the cause of our troubles that its
removal is essential to recovery is not
denounced in any angry spirit and nc
reflection is made upon the motives Of
those who brought it about. There is nc

cRITIcIsING THE DOCUMENT.
Opinions of Senators and Members on
the Message.

Opinions of Senators and Members
tho Message.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The message OF
the president was received by Congress
with degree of attention and earnestness
that has seldom been accorded to state
paper. A notable fact was the general
absence of adverse criticism from party
point of view, and among those who
have reserved expression of their judg-
ment Democrats are quite as numerous as
Republicans.
For instance, Senator Voorhees,, chair
man of the Finance Committee, declined
positively to be interviewed on the mes
sage, and Senator Hill did the same.
Senator German said: s'The message is
clear cut statement of the president 8
views. All the comment that / have
heard in the Senate is that it is as terse
and clear a statement as could have been
| made. -
| Senator Allison, one OF the leading
financial lights Of the country, and very
conservative, remarked, sit is very
fair message. He states truly that the
Sherman act was a compromise between
| the silver men and those of the opposi-
tion.' Senator Allison thought the tariff
references OF the president was calculated
| to disturb business further at very
| CIlGlc1k LlInG.
Senator Jones OF Nevada, said: 81
think the message is illogical and does
not analyze the situation at all The
Sherman law has nothing to do with the
present state of affairs. The message is
what was expected and will do little to
help the cause which the president
champions"
Senator Teller: ssThe simple assertion
of the president that the present financial
condition is due to the Sherman law does
not make it SO. His premise is wrong
and his conclusions naturally fell to the
ground.''
Senator PETER: ssBankers will regard
it as perfection, the farmer and workman
will see in it a further reduction OF the
product of their farm and their labor. Il
is the first attack of the money kings In
the final struggle Tor supremacy
Bourke Cochran: Admirable, admira-
BILE. Even the silver men must admit
that it is the most perfect presentation OF
the question that could be made.
1 Representative Bland: ''As nearly as
could make out, it was a plea for a single
gold standard because England maintains
it. If England would coin silver proba-
bly, this country would do SO. We seen
to have lost the spirit of 1776."

NEW YoRK, Aug. ga Washington
correspondent telegraphs the following
with statement that it was
written specially by Hon. Thomas
B. Reed of Maine: Zone can
hardly fail to be impressed by
the resemblance beween the mes
sage of the president today and
that of the last Democratic president who
addressed the Congress of his party in
1857. ~ While the disaster is now the
same, the expression OF sorrow is very
similar. While this message is i'm
pressive it is far from being adequate to
the occasion. While my votes in the
past show plainly tha5I agreed with much
that he says should not be doing justice
to my own sense of truth if l did not re-
cord my entire disbelief in the idea that
the message states is the underlying
cause of our disaster.
The cause of our misfortunes is plainly
the utter uncertainty that reigns in
finances and tariff, and in every
thing on which business can be
based. If you remove one element OF
uncertainty there remain all others. You
cannot readjust the economic principles
which govern q country, without disaster
especially ii that readjustment be violated
and involve the wages and salary OF every
citizen. ~

The ssChronicle'' Condemns and the eek
aminer' Upholds the Message.
The Chroni# (Republican) says: The
message will be subjected to searching
analysis by the friends of bimetailism in
Congress, who will conclusiyely demon
strate that his premises are wrong, and
that his conclusion, therefore, must be at
fault. They will show without difficulty
that ne errs in assuming that the present
depression in the United States is due to
the Sherman silver purchase act for we
are only suffering in common with the
rest OF the world, as the trouble is in no
sense national one. They will also
prove that the Sherman silver purchase
ACT had nothing to do with the depletion
of the gold reserve in the treasury but
causes absolutely unconnected with the
question of monetary standard, the
same causes that are now operating to re-
plenish the reserve.
The Examiner .(Dem. says: President
Cleveland's message is an important one
on account of its source, but it throws
no new light on the problems
that have brought Congress together.
There is nothing in the message to offend
the friends of silver. The president
points out the undeniabie facts that the
| price of that metal has been steadily fall
| ing ever since the passage of the Sherman
act.
| Certainly under such circumstances the
recommendation to repeal that law can
not be considered in itself an indication
of hostility to silver. Mr.. Cleveland is
careful to say nothing against the princi-
pie OF bimetallism; on the contrary. he
points out the fact that repeal of the
| Sherman act is a necessary preliminary
to the establishment of bimetallic sys-
| tenn. II any member OF Congress ex-
pected the president to do their work
for them they were ever sanguine. All
he suggests with regard to the silver
question is repeal of the Sherman law.
No possible substitute is described. The
task OF devising a satisfactory measure Of
that nature will have to be undertaken
by Congressman themselves.
The CAL, Republican, says: The mes
sage will pass into history as the weakest
paper that ever emanated from president
OF the United States. The president in.
forms Congress that the purchase o.
$l37 1000. 600 worth of silver has upset al
our industries. He quotes q passage il
the act which declares 1t to be the pur.
pose OF the government to maintain gold
and silver at parity as, preventing the
secretary of the treasury from EXERCISING
the discretion vested in him paying To-
silver purchased in either gold or silver
The purchase of 8, 300, 600 ounces OF silve
each month is represented as having
brought the country so near to ruin tina
the dog-day session of Congress held gu
the only hope of relief. There has neve
been an example of such gross magnify
ing of effects as President Cleveland ha
afforded in this message.

All members but POLAND and Karrick
were present at the city council meeting
last night and President Loofbourow
presided. The session was long and unani-
mously harmonious. The only approach
to a ripple en- the peaceful waters was
when Mr.. Rich asserted that the necessity
for FIRE insurance on the crematory
arose from the neglect OF the
employees and Mr.. Beardsley,
who takes all matters relating to gar
bage under his special consideration and
protection, vehemently denies the insin-
nations OF Mr.. Rich. The retrenchment
members were quiet as lambs and made
no attempt to call the matter up. and 1T
now looks as If the movement had gone to
a premature grave. Another conditional
offer for the sale of city bonds was re-
ceived and promptly rejected.
Superintendent Of Waterworks Ryan
rushed in with demand for an investI-
cation in the matter of the charges pre-
ferred against him by Mr.. bruce, but the
council was OF the opinion that an inves-
tigafion at the present time was not in
order and his earnest request was not
grahteds
The retail saloon men came forward
with petition for the reduction Of their
A7cenSe- from S5UU 10 TloU 8 quaIlex
for the, next six months. To
back their application they had the en-
dorsements OF thirteen prominent busi-
ness men. among whom were several
bankers and large real estate owners.
Councilman Moran said he tumbled to
the racket and thought the best plan
would be for the endorsers OF the petition
TO reduce the rents of the saloons which
they let by about so per cent. and thus
relieve the,poor oppressed saloon keepers.
The report of the city and county build
ing IN reference to the ousting of Bow
man and the opinion Of the city attorney
on the same came up and were adopted.
The copper plant railway franchise was
read q second and third time and passed,
the only change OF Importance made in

DENVER, Aug. 8.-The Republican says:
Taken as a whole the presidents message
will prove greater setback to the advo-
Gates OF the single gold standard than to
upholders of bimetallism. 1t recommends
the unconditional repeal of the purchas

not contain single voting argu-

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Following are some
of the comments on the presidents mes
sage:
Chicago Inter- Ocean: It has a clear,
forcible presentation the subject now
most prominent before the country. In a
discussion of the money question he goes
SO far as to leave no possible room for
doubt that he is IN favor of single
standard and that standard gold.
The Times--While the president makes
well urged plea practically for mono
metallism, he seems to forget entirely the
Democratic party which pledged itself to
maintain bi-metallism. and repeal the
Sherman act not without substitute,
but the president asks for no substitute.
The Record: The Presidents message
is a remarkable document in no respect
save in its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and calm
business tone. The question submitted
to Congress is not of a political character
and should not be used from an angle of
partisanship. Instead of endeavoring to
lay the blame for the enactment OF the
Sherman law on the Republicans, he says
mildly that it may be considered to have
been truce between free coinage advo-
Gates and those intending to be more
con Sarvative
