N. o. Pieayune He is opposed TO
running any further risk with silver,
unless the Government sheuld be al
lowed to issue bonds to borrow money
(go!d) with which to maintain the
parity of the seiguiorsge silver which
is already in the treasury aud which
helps to back up the treasury notes.
Mr.. Cleveland is for good, solid,
sound money, or for currency that is
as good as gold. That is surely the
sort of money that everybody ought to |
want.
n D. States: OF course, it was not
proposed by the President to convince
OF satisfy, the millionaire silver mine
owners, nor the Populists who have
gone crazy on the subject of the free
aud unlimited coinage or silver, nor the
pestiferous demagogues who pander to
the populistic craze on this subject.
But to disinterested men, whose inter-
ests are III a sound currency aud solid
trade conditions the message will be
conclusive.
Atlanta journal: Anybody has tho
right to criticise the judgment of the
President and to prove, II he eau, that
he has committed a bluuder. We
should like TO see some who are de-
nouncing bis veto so angrily aud con-
STRUNG his motives so glibly enter
upon this task. When the President
submits an argument on bis side of
the case it is pitiful spectacle to see
some Insignificant objector rise, not
to reply to the seasons given in the
message, but to hurl epithets at the
President.
Scimitar: To our rural friends
Ifyou have anything to sell that any
body wants to buy, you can get the
money for 1t just as easily as II the
mints were turning out fifty millions
of silver dollars day. You get the
equivalent" aud the other fellows will
find the cash.
Charleston News aud Courier
President Cleveland has vetoed the
seigniorage bill. As faithful and con-
servatiye executive he could not have
done otherwise. Ana his veto of the
bill will commend him and his course
we feel sure, to the reason and judg.
ment of all honest and thoughtful peo-
pie IN the country.
/ Baltimore Sun; Nevertheless, we
are pursuaded that in vetoing the
Bland bill, the president has acted with
the highest wisdom as party man, al
well as from the purest motives o.
patriotism. 1t Is unreasonable te
, suppose that signing the Bland bill
would have quieted the silver agitation
I either in congress or out oft, or pre-
, vented the coinage question from
becoming q burning issue In future con
tests.
Richmond Times: AS those whit
t knew him expected him, Mr.. Cleve
land has vetoed the seigniorsge bill
, His friends will be disappointed, how
| ever, that he had place the veto square
. ly upon the proposition that the bil
a Is for the issue Of fiat money.
Mobile Register: President Cleve

Il He was satisfied that II he should sig

without his signature, the credit

o. Macon Telegraph: We regret G

Ter should have been induced to pass
to miscbievious bill. The effect of t
Il presidents veto will undoubtedly
ill to exacerbate feeling against him al
rty the policy he represents, already
ON intense as to threaten the unity of t
