CHICAGO COMMENTS.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The Herald (Dem-
ocratic) says:
"The President does not repeat his
request for authority to issue suitable
bonds, or to retire legal tenders when
they are redeemed. Instead of that,
he simply says, that 80 long as no bet
ter way is provided, the authority con-
ferred by the act of 1875 will be atii-
lied whenever and as often as it be-
comes necessary to maintain suff1'
cient reserve and in abundant time to
save the credit of our country and uake
good the financial declarations Of our
| government. Some people may read

of the message, but they will succeed
in reading the solid sense of the mes

Congress to the subject with all due
