THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
It Deals Entirely With the Financial
Question.

1t Deals Entirely With the Financial
Question.
A forecast of President Cleve-
lands message read before Congress
IN extra session yesterday, which we
received by special telegram from the
Richmond Dispatch yesterday after
noon, says:
"The Presidents message is con
fined entirely to the financial guess
ton. After reciting the business
disturbances and charging them di-
lectlY to the Sherman law, MIR.
Cleveland urges the Immediate re-
peal of the present law. He con-
tends that the people are entitled to
a sound and stabls currency. He adj
vises Congress to rise above party
feeling and to legislate at once along
this line. and then suggests that the
tariff car be reformed later on"
A Timely Criticism.
Editor Aryus:-What is the mats
ter with our people? We find many
Democrats who voted for the prin-
ciples and candidates ef the party
last November no vie with the an
archical Third party people in their
abuse of President Cleveland and the
principles of che party. Never be-
fore in the history of the country
have We een so many statesmen, so
mary fnanclers SO many who know
the cause OF hard times and the rem
edies to apply.
Already We think we see the effect
of Senator Vance's letter published
in answer to the demands of some
county Alliance (Third parity meet
ing, in Which he took occasion to
malign the President of the United
States, the man whom the Demos
cratic party elected last year upon
issues clearly defined, and differing
materially with these Of the Repuh-
lican or Third party parties. He
took occasion to sling more mud at
the President than we recollect to
have seen coming from any Third
party organ, I. e., in rejecting upon
his integrity, intimating that the
President would sell TIE patronage
Of his office for votes for the repeal
of the Sherman bill.
Our information is that North
Carolina has been dealt fairly we'll
with in the distribution Of Federal
Offices. and fiom the Wes'era part of
the State, Senator Nance's own sec
ton, from Raleigh to the Tennessee
liu~, every officer has been taken ex,
cept three, that number having been
appointed from the East. 1t seems
to us that he has nothing to COM
plain Of along that line.
We yield to none il our love and
admiration for Senator Vance, but
as Il layman of the party it occurs tc
us that the letter could have beer
left unwritten, as 1t would have beer
only two weeks before his constituen.
CT would have known how he stood OIL
the Silver question, hich he, in com
mon wi h a great many others, seems
to Think is the cause at hard times
and scarcity of money, forgetful 81
the fact that the tariff question en-
tiers into, or has anything to do with
the scarcity Of money.
The writer of this, three years ago
when the Third party Were making
desperate efforts to detect the Sena.
tor in his reelection, on account o:
his low for him, with three othel
gentlemen Of this place wrote Sena-
ter Vance, asking him to addres
the people of this section at Colds
boro en- the issues of the day. Il
that speech, while he claimed to be
stlong advocate for "the dollar o
our daddies', which at one time wa
worth more than the dollar in gold
he asserted aud proved beyond doub
that the tariff had more to do wit
the depressed condition Of affair
5 than all other things combined.
