New YORK, Dec. THE leading pa
pers of this city comment as follows on
the Presidents message:
The Tribune: 1.-The President has
not heard OF the elections last month,
or considers it dignified to take no no.
tice of an attempt by the people to re-
verse the course of their government.
With stolid indifference to the popular
decree, he proposes to thrust upon the
country the very theories and measures
which the recent elections have con-
demned. In effect his message Is a
new declaration of war against depress'
ed industries and trade
The Sun: There is nothing unex-
pected or striking in the message which
Mr.. Cleveland sent to Congress yester-
day. The important paragraphs might
he printed in three-quarters OF col
,,mn. The sentences, which are obvi-
ously O. the Presidents own compost
ton. would occupy much less space
than that. The enormous length OF
the document is due solely to the in
dustry of the clerks who have been en-
gagged in summarizing and paraphra'
zipp the annual reports from the sew
.ral departments sand to D. reditaoie
desire to impart to this years message
what is called business like appear
ance. in poir.t of volume, if not OF con-
tents. Considering the first, the
Gresham part, it is a melancholy fac'
that with with single exception
every important reference to inter
national affairs is an indirect COMES
sion of failure and humiliation' n'
.xception is the part devoted to th'
Rluefields incident and the policy o
our government with regard to th'
Nicaragua canal; and here we hav'
nothing positive or enlightening."
The Times, in it's editorial on tn
Presidents message, quotes Mr. Cleve
lands declaration in regard to the is
sue of bonds when the needs OF Tn
treasury require and says: This is q
assurance of immense value, ana Tn
more 40 because it is but the formal en-
hodiment of the policy fixed by unor'
ken precedent and required by LAY
s;nce the resumption of specie pay
ents II establishes the certalnt
that whatever the cost, the nations
currency will be ABSOLUTELY maintaine.
The Herald will say, "The one str''
ing and impressive passage IN t1
prss;dent's message, is that In whlc
h. declares he will use every effort
srsta;p the credit of the gcvernmen
and oreyent its finances from being r
a..a ~ a silver basis. Mr.. Clevelan
declares that new issues OF the nVe p
,, honds shall be made az often
s.assarv to maintain sufficient go
us This is sound and mani
and tends to impress on Congress u
necessity of promptly clothing the a.
.;n;s,rat;on with the power to mai
popular preparation, the bonds TO
ats low rate of interest, and De Oil
!. ,ributed among the masses. 1t is vel
,r,e the President remarks, Tn
o,es,;ons relating to banks and Gu
rency, are closely connected with u
maintenance of the gold reserve al
the separation of the government ir0
the business of circulating pap
money, is consummation most q
voutly to be wished for; but we ie
that he errs in giving an unquann'
endorsement to the new scheme pi
posed by Secretary Carlisle. From y
brief statement of this plan emoool
IN the message. and presumably P'
n.red by the secretary himself it .
pears to be patchwork cO@p.r pa
