Views OF the Press of the Country on the
Presidents AiessaEo.

PITTsBURG, PA, August Sine
DISPATCH, independent Republican, will
saw: "The message Is clear, impreg-
pable and indisputabe in 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
Cleyeland's message to Congress Is
clear, sound and praiseworthy, and
will meet the approval Of the best peo-
ple, 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 once. His strongest pre-
sentatlon is Of the possibilities. and, In
fact, certainties, Of the future unless
that law shall be promptly repealed"
CHICAGO, August S.-The Inter Ocean
(Republican) says: "The message OF
President Cleveland is clear and for
chile presentation.
1.-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: 1t is a characteristic document,
plain spoken, honest, terse and patri-
otlc. His conclusions are irresistible
to all open aud candid minds. The
President does well to emphasize the
bad effect OF a deprecated or sus-
pected currency on the wage Garner" ="
The S,n-"No part OF President
Cleyeland's message as important as II
is In every part, is more significant, or
politically reassuring than this passage:
at was my purpose TO summon Congress
In special session early In the coming
September, that we Rht enter prompt
" upon the work OF tariff reform, which
the true interests OF the country clearly
demand, which so large 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
souarely and honorably the validity OF
the pledge. There is no sign OF repu-
diation." -.
The Times: ''There IS not trace OF
partisanship or OF that more subtle
temptation for men in high Dlaces-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 house
is burning the thing Is to do Is TO put
ont the Ere, not to stand round and
hold debates as to the sort OF struc-
ture that may be rebuilt on its site"
LONDON, August 9'-The Post says:
"America cannot well stop at the nero
repeal OF the Sherman act. The Presi-
dent throws out no suggestion but some
action is certainly necessary, 1t Is
probable that tbs problem which the
United States has 10 solve may lead.
not To bi-metallism but TO
more mature and unbiased considera-
ton OF the possible uses Of silver. As
mart of the worlds currency the
metal cannot be demonetized with safe
". and If through America some
method for its more extended employ
mept were devised. the benefits to the
world would be Of supreme import
auce."

crat in politics. says editorlalIy
