The hfty-third congress opened IL
second session on Monday and Presi
dent CleveIand's messsge is now ths
topic OF discussion In sll political papers
On many subjects the message containl
q fund Of useful information. and, nm.
like the most Of bis former messages. il
has very little of the dictatorial and
l. will tell you how it-must- be done
spirit about 1t. He touches the tariff
question quite gingerly, as il he had
had enough to say about It in former
messages, He does not give any reas-
ons why his promised prosperity did
not follow the repeal Of the Sherman
purchasing clause in the silver bill In
stead of times growing worse.
He devotes considerable space to
finances and recommends that the issue
of currency be relegsted to the national
banks instead of thu issuing Of green
backs by thetreasury. Silver he wishes
to keep a mere commodity, although
this is shown more by indirection in
his message than by any direct asser-
ton, as he has evidently heard some-
thing drop last month.
The message contains none of Cleve-
lands studied phrases or expressions,
the only unique things about his former
public documents His gout is hurting
him now and the inspiration which
caused him to coin unique phrases and
also brought on the Rout, has lost it's
force. Altogether the message is better
than the average because duller and
less radical.
The following are some press COM
ments upon il:
InrJuly, 1898, when President Cleve-
land, at the dictation of the money
power and in accordance with an evil
dent agreement with the English Gov
ernment called the Fifty-third Congress
together Ia special session to repeal the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman law,
he boldly declared in his call that re-
peal was all that was necessary to restore
prosperity in this country. He accom-.
plished his purpose by the coercion of
the cuckoos of his own party through
bulldozing and shrewd use of the pat
ronage of his office, but, although he
has made many public ntterances since
that time, he has never taken occasion
10 notify the country that his prophecy
regarding the best method of securing
return of prosperity has been fulfilled.
The reason is obvious. The times have
grown worse instead Of better since the
repeal bill passed in the fall of 1893,
and even President Csvelaud does not
possess the hardihood to attempt TO
justify that stupenduous criminal blum
ner.-Denver Republican.
The Journal, Republican, says says
the Presidents message is document
which will attract attention only be-
cause of its length and not because of
its handling of subjects in which the
American people are inte nsely interest
ed. Like all his official acts during the
present term the document is dissap-
pointment to the people and must be
humiliation to his remaining adher-
ents. Kansas City Journal.
with the exception Of the brief
tariff statement and the somewhat
longer financial statement. the message
is purely clerical, and reflects the rou-
tine work of the departments. Summed
up, it is long business message with
out partisan exaltation on the one hand
or useless mourning over recent catas-
trophies on the other, and with evident
of gout. ."-Chicago Tribune.
IfCleveland's financial scheme shall
be carried out, the general distress will
deepen and the industrial and CONNER
cial horizon will be darkened until no
gleam foreshadowing prosperity will
appear about it. = Rocky Mountain
News.
The message is made up of platitudi-
nous reviews of the official reports Of |
cabinet officers, and is dry as dust. |
It has undoubtedly fallen fiat, and it |
undoubtedly deserved to fall fiat. From
beginning to end it is message that
absolutely fails to place itself in accord
with American sentiment on any ques-
tion whatever, unless it is the single
one OF last summers strike. 1t is hu-
initiation whenever it touches foreign
affairs, for Wall street wherever it
touches banking and currency, and de-
,tructive of American industries in all
references to busines, tariff, shipping
and our foreign trade. II is indeed
document and the coun-
