comment on the presidents message as
follows tomorrow.
I'm July, 1898, when President Cleve-
land, at the dictation of the money
power and in accordance with an evil
dent agreement with the English gov
eminent. called the Fifty-third congress
together to repeal the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law he boldly de-
clared that repeal was all that was nee
essary TO restore prosperity. He ac-
complished 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 utterances since that
time. he has never taken occasion to
notify the country that his prophecy
regarding the best method of securing
a return of prosperity has been full
filled. The reason is obvious Times
have grown worse, instead of better,
since the repeal bill passed, and even
President Cleveland does not possess
the hardihood to attempt to justify
that stupendous criminal blunder."
SAN FRANCISCO JOURNALS.
San Francisco Dec. 3.--The Chronicle
Sill say editorally:
perhaps the most remarkable feat
ure of the message is the manner in
which the president disposes of the tar
If question. He gives it only one brief
paragraph, showing none of the fire
which characterized the Catchings let
ter. AS a tariff reformer he shows the
dispiriting defeat of November 6. The
message takes up the subject of cur
rency reform with considerable earnest
ness and vigor, but everything is pre-
scented from the standpoint of the bank
ing interests and Wall street demands
The president has not one word about
the silver question. He shows. howcv-
er, by his silence and by his full en-
dorsement of the Wall street scheme
| that he is hand i'm glove with the gold
monometallists, as he has always been.
| The message fails to discuss the most
| important of the living questions of
| the nay"
| The Examiner will say editorially:
1.-THE president in his message favors
the abolition of every particle of diff
ferential duty in favor of refined sugar
| and the abolition of the retaliatory duty
| on refined sugar imported from coun-
| tries that pay export bounties. If he
! had taken this stand at the close of
the last session. instead of permitting
Carlisle to identify the administration
with the sugar trust, some things might
have turned out differently. 1t is to
be regretted that the president could
not have found room in his brief state
ment' to say something about our policy
toward the Nicaragua canal There Is
little to say about the message as q
whole, because 1t is not whole but al
aggregation of unrelated parts. II
makes some good recommendations. but
as a whole 1t is noncommittal to de
| gree that might suggest timidity If a
more probable explanation We're not
found In WEAKNESS and III health"
OMAHA BEE.
Omaha, Dec 3.--The Bee republican
will say:
1.-THE portion of President Cleveland
| message which will command the first
| attention of the financial and business
interests of the country is that relating
to currency, with which the message
concludes. The message is practical
business-like document, notably free
from peculiar characteristics which dis
