Menaee-Sot Party Matter-Immediate
Acsion Necessary Tariff Reform Can
Wait Until the Financial Problem lie
Settled.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Q The following is
the full text o. President Clsyeland's mes
sage to Congress read in both Houses at
noon yesterday:
To THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
The existence OF an alarming and extra
ordinary business situation, involving the
welfare and prosperity OF all our people,
has constrained me to call together in ex-
ira session the peoples representatives. in
Congress to the end that through a wise
and patriotic exercise of the legislative
duty with which they are solely charged,
present evils may be mitigared and dangers
threatening the future M ay be averted
Our unfortunate financial plight is not
tions related to our natural resources; nor
is 1t traceable to any of the Affections
which frequently check national growth
and prosperity. With plenteous crops,
with abundant promise Of remuneratiye
production and manufacture. with
unusual invitation to safe investment
and with satisfactory assurance TO business
enterprise, suddenly financial distrust and
fear have sprung upon every side. Numer
Gus moneyed institutions have suspended
because abundant assets were not imme
diately available to meet the demands of
frightened depositors. Surviving corpora
lions and individuals are content to keep
in hand the money they ara usually anx-
ious to loan. and those engaged in legiti-
mate business are surprised to find that the
securities they offer for loans, though here
tofors satisfactory, are no longer accepted.
Values supposed to be fixed are fast becom-
ing conjectural, and loss and failure have
involved every branch of business.

Foreign nations Pron,ed.

We have thus made the depletion OF our
gold easy. and have tempted other and
more appreciative nations to add it TO their
stock. That the opportunity we have Of
fered has not been neglected is shown by
the large amounts Of gold which have been
recently drawn from our Treasury and ex-
ported to increase the financial strength Of
foreign nations The excess OF exports OF
gold over its imports for the year ending
June 80. 1888, amounted to more than
eighty seven and half millions Of dollars.
Between the first day Of July, 1890, aud
IL fifteenth day Of July, 1898, the gold
