EDITORS ON THE MESSAGE.
The SasCS Of the SalCtumS FaVOIably
Impressed.

ident With Foroibly and Cour-
ageoualy Pointing Out the Rem
edy to be Applied-The Louisville
Times Says it Makes a Profound
Impression.
Chicago, Aug. S.-The Daily News says:
"There is no hesitation or uncertainty
about the Presidents conclusion nor
about the processes of reasoning by
which he arrived at it, Regarding the
business depressions as the result of a
loss of confidence rather than of any
paramount cause, the President clearly,
forcibly and courageously points out
what he believes to be the remedy.
His message lays down the ad-
ministration programme. It's fulfillment
will not be easy. because the opposition is
determined; but MIR Clevelands entire
public career is guarantee that, believ-
ing it to be right, he will omit no honora-
bic means TO its accomplishment"
SURE TO HAVE A GOOD INFLUENCE.
New Orleans, Aug 8.-The Evening
States says: "The message is cOuched in
such plain language and is so clear, brief
and to the point that the simplest mind
can comprehend it, The message is con
servative and strong, and will, we conf
IDENTIFY believe, have powerful and bene-
fetal influence upon congress and the
country-at-large"
MAKES A PROFOUND IMPRESSION.
Louisville, KY, Aug. S.-The Louisville
Times says editorially of the message:
president Cleveland puts before con
gress the financial plight Of the country
and the remedy which he believes ought
to be adopted. He shows that the exist
a.
| failure of crops or other untoward events,
| and declares that he believes them prin-
cipally due to legislation of congress with
| reference to the coinage of silver. He
shows how this has operated to impair
confidence at home and abroad and con
cludes by urging the repeal as promptly as
possible of the provisions of the Sherman
act requiring the purchase Of silver. The
message makes profound impression up
on the country, which just now ought to
be in receptive mood" "
THE UTTERANoE OF A STRONG MAN
Kansas City, Aug. S-The Star says
president Cleveland's message is the ut
terance of a strong man who is by nature
the dauntless and confident leader of
men. 1t is characteristic of Mr. Cleve-
land in its courage and frmness. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether in the
face of the predisposed OPP
position of the democrattic leaders
in the Senate, and many of the demo
cratic leaders in the House, the President
will succeed in establishing the decided
policy in which he believes 50 thoroughly.
| Mr. Cleveland has fearlessly invited the
responsibility of leadership in this crisis.
1t would seem to be good politics for the
democratic congress to accept his leader
ship and promptly proceed to action"
RECALLS THE KATY DID.
The Journal, republican, says: "Pres-
ident CleVeland's message like nearly all
his public utterances, reminds one of the
song of "Katy Did" He says undisputed
things in such solemn way. Forum
ately, in this instance his solemnity
bears the gravity of his warning.
From a democratic President who
shares in the conservative mistrust
of free coinage, the message is a
handsome tribute to the constitu-
tional attitude of John Sherman and
the Republican party. In sticking to one
subject with earnest insistence, Mr.
Cleveland has thrown on congress the re-
sponsibility for any delay that may occur
in providing relief in the financial siJua-
ton"
HARD SLAP AT SILVER.
Denver, Col, Aug. S.-The Times says
editorially: There is no hope for silver
if the message of the President to con-
gress is to be the ultimatum and to be
accepted by that body. The President has
in this ignored the platform of his party
and planted his foot firmly on the plat
form of London and Wall street. Utterly
condemning the Sherman law, and hold
ing it responsible for the ills
that have overtaken the country,
he will not admit that silver has right
full constitutional place in the monetary
system of the country. He throws the
white metal to the dogs and demands that
the finances of the country be conducted
on purely gold basis. There is only one
thing for the friends of silver to do and
that is to keep up the fight for unlimited
coinage of silver, to continue to
champion the just cause Of bi-metallism
and the people,"
STANDS BY THE PRESIDENT.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. S.-The AdYer-
tiser, commenting on the Presidents
message, will say in the morning: What,
then, is the cause of the evils which affiict
labor and the commerce Of the countryl
Want of confidence; a want of confidence
in the ability of the government to main
tain gold standard in the face
of a yearly purchase Of $4,000 600
ounces of silver and an issue of coin
certificates worth something over so
cents on he.dollar, and these certificates
payable in gold, and which, in the end.
must drain the treasury of every dollar
of gold it possesses, beside draining the
country of it's gold supply. The message
can but create profound impression, not
only in this country, but in all other
countries of the world. 1t is a plea for
sound, logical common sense finance,
upon which the credit of the
country is based; plea for
the overthrow of the mischievous
doctrine that alone the United States are
strong enough against all the other civil
lied countries of the world to make a sill
yer dollar worth 30 cents equal to a gold
dollar The endeavor is a task too great
for this country, and to attempt it is but
to play a losing game at the cost of every
other interest for the sake Of enriching a
few silver mine owners OF the west"
REPEAL A POWERFUL FACTOR.
New Orleans, Aug. S.-The Times
Democrat viii say tomorrow: '|The
message of President Cleveland read be-
fore the houses of congress is a short,
lucid and vigorous document.
The repeal Of the Sherman act may not
do all that is required or that is expected
of it, but it will be a powerful factor in
tightening the present depression and in
restoring confidence where only distrUst
and apprehension prevail."s
