Views of the Press of the Country on the
Presidents Message.
PITTSBURG, Pa, August s.-The
Dispatch, Independent Republican, will
say; "The message is clear, impreg-
nable and indisputable 10 insisting on
the first step-that is TO stop silver pur-
chAses at once, and then settle the other
questions In accordance with sound and
conservative principles"
The Commercial Gazette Republican,
will say: "In the main President
Cleveland's message TO Congress is
clear, sound and pralseworthy. and
will meet the approval OF the best peo-
pie. and majority OF all the people,
North, East, South and West"
The Post (Democrat) will say: "Pres-
ident Cleveland's message is brief, clear
and TO the point. Congress- should act
at ence. His strongest pre-
sentation is OF the possibilities, and, in
fact, certainties, OF the future unless
that law Shall be promptly repealed"
CHICAGO, August S.-The Inter Ocean
(Repubican) says: 1.-The message Of
President Cleveland is clear and for
chile presentation.
"The President recommends the re-
peal Of the purchase clause OF the Sher-
man act Do that and adjourn is his
programme.
New YoRK, August s.-The World
says: Itis a characteristic document,
plain spoken, honest. terse and patri-
otlc. His conclusions are irresistible
to all open and candid minds. The
President does well to emphasize the
bad effect OF deprecated or sus-
pected currency on the wage Garner" I"
The Sun-"No part OF President
Ceveland's message as important as 1t
is In every part, is more significant or
politically reassuring than this passage:
st was my purpose to summon Congress
in special session early In the coming
September, that we mig ht enter prompt
ly upon the work Of tariff reform, which
the true interests of the country clearly
demand, which so large a majority OF
the people, as shown by their suffrages,
desire and expect, and TO the accom-
plishment OF which every officer OF the
present administration Is pledged. We
congratulate the Democracy on the
fact that the President recognizes
squarely and honorsbly the validity Of
the pledge. There is no sign Of repu-
diatiOn."
The Times: "There Is not a trace OF
partisanship or OF that more subtle
temptation for men in high places-the
pride of opinion. There is no harsh
criticism OF conflicting theories or the
orists, while there Is the most moving
appeal to the sense, the patriotism and
the fairness OF all"
The Herald Repeal the Sherman
law, stop buying silver. This is the
pith OF the message sent by Precedent
Cleveland to Congress. When a house
is burning the thing is to do Is to put
ont the fire, not to stand round aud
hold debates as TO the sort OF a struc-
ture that may be rebuilt on its site"
LONDON, August 9'-The Post says:
H"Amsrica cannot we'll stop at the mere
repeal OF the Sherman act The Presl'
dent throws out no suggestion butso
action Is certainly necessary. IL Is
probable that tbs problem which the
United States has to solve may lead,
not to bi-metallism but TO
more mature and unbiased considera-
tion of the possible uses Of silver. AS
part OF the worlds currency. the
metal cannot be demonetized with safe
". and IL through America some
method for its more extended employ
ment were devised. the benefits to the
world would be Of supreme Import
auce."
SAN Francisco. CAL, August g.
The Euening Post, Independent Demo
crat in politics, says editorlally
"The words In which Mr. Cleveland
transmitted his message TO Congress are
those OF prudent pollticisn, whose In
tellectuality is under the strict repres-
sion OF myraid Of conflicting interests.
His document is, therefore, a serious
disappointment. Mr. Cleveland has dis
covered that this is broad and lengthy
land; that legislation beneficial TO
the East is utterly disastrous
70 the West, that between the gold
kings OF Wall street and the silver
miners Of Colorado there Is no bond.
Having made this discovery, be seeks
by the aid OF his pen TO say to all what
ls least disagreeabe. On the tariff the
President is practically silent. He pays
Il the tribute OF a courtly bow, and
then. linking his arm with that OF the
gold bug, stalks stately by to witness
the execution OF the white metallists.
Mr.. Cleveland Is DO longer statesman;
he has become a diplomat"
