The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1894-12-07
The Presidents Message Boiled
Down.

We are at peace with other nations. China
and japan felt constrained to accept pro.
positions through our ministers for the set
Element of their spat after first declining my
services. Germany wants to sell us sugar or
they won't take our beef. Since we conclud-
ed not to reinstate Queen Lii we have re-
cognized the republic of Hawaii. Mexico is
all right. New Mexico wants storage dams
along the Rio Grande. Nicaragua has been
insolvent. Peru has got a little stomach
ache or other internal dissentions. We fur.
nished the usual formula on the death of the
Gear of Russia. Salvador and Spain are in
ii. Turkey has massacred some Armenians
who came to this country andgot naturalezed.
Revenue receipts are not big enough to run
my government. We exported ST. 900 of
gold and imported ST., 100000 principally to
buy bonds With. Fifty new national banks
were organized, seventy nine vent into
liquidation and twenty-one we're placed in
the hands of receivers. The circulation de-
creased $l,740,653. Obligations of banks In
creased Sill, 900, 900. Deposits 277, 294, 600 less,
The Indians are on their good behavior.
Some Apaches a been disposed of by re-
turn to several points among others to their
old reservation. General Sehofield ought to
go up higher. The u. P. railroad requires q
new deal. The postofice is about $40, OO0, coo
short. Charge second class matter of a GER
tain description a little more. We have alb
rogated some mail transportation contracts
and don q little other cheeseparing called
economy. We are short of heavy guns and
occasionally in need of ships. We are SELL
ing public lands wholesale and have receiv-
ed about s25, 900, 900 for them. We need ex-
ira appropriations for special land agents to
watch that miners and settlers don't cut
forests down. The Indians need good con-
scientious agents such as my party generally
furnishes; l am trying army officers tor o
change from the general rank and file of de-
mocracY and / think they are an improve
ment. We have lots of pensioners but the APP
preparation was $25 .OOO,0 900 more than enough
to go around. Wheat exports have fallen off.
The weather bureau has got enough and
some to spare. Cattle inspection 10 "a cts.
per read. Civil service reform ought to be
taken up now that I am nearly through using
1t as a club to enforce my demands on CON
gress. and we ought to have a board of
health and q labor commission. The tariff
mule has not done kicking he wants cheaper
shoes and the base burner on the free list.
Sugar is not entirely to my notion. We want
it free again. The gold reserve is in an un.
healthy condition and we are at the mercy
of capitalists who with gold and treasury
notes draw out gold and force us to purchase
1t back again. We have issued $1,000, 600, 900
in bonds and under the present law we win
do it again on demand as soon as we nave q
good excuse. We intend to maintain the
parity of silver coin at any cost and we will
veto any measure that will make silver q
royal metal so that we shall not fall to q sill
yer basis. l and my cabinet officers have
construed all law relating to my capitalistic
friends and as long as we control the treas.
ury they arein 1t. By the way, Carlisle has
got a scheme (my scheme). let's do away
with the treasury business altogether and lei
the banks run the country. They can put up
enough for a blind and then issue or contract
at WILL, raise corners or create panics when
ever they want a little diversion in the finan
cial line. Damn the silver miner.
Yours truly.
g GROVER CLEVELAND.
