MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
Devoted Principally to Arguments Against
GreenbaciSs and Silver.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The presidents
message, which has been read to congress,
is devoted almost entirely to consideration
Of the financial question, foreign relations
taking the second place. The review OF
she work of the various departments OF
government and recommendations re-
garding them, which have always been
prominent features Of a general message
from the president to a new congress, are
omitted, the only attention to them being
n recommendation that such departmental
reports be carefully read and considered.
The usual conservatism is observed in
regard to the foreign part of the message,
except as to Venezuela, where the presi-
dent asserts the Monroe doctrine with
such vigor as to please even the Spirited
foreign policy" people. The tariff is
touched upon in his we'll known style in
relating the discrimination made by Ger
many against American products. AS to
Cuba the president urges that the neu-
trality laws be faithfully observed as a
matter of notional honor
Nothing is said about the proposed rec
ognition of the belligerency Of the in
surgents Regarding the Turkish-Ar-
AhSiAti VLOuDlCS, UllC lllO5StBO oUducS UIltU
the government of the United States is
doing everything in it's power to protect
the lives and property of its citizens in the
disturbed districts, but aside from this it
is not interfering with the European pow
ers in their attempt to regulate the gov
srnmental affairs of Turkey.
The greater part of the message is de-
voted to thorough and comprehensive
discussion Of the governments financial
conditions, incidental to which is given %
history Of the United States notes (green-
oacks) and treasury notes, and of the eff
forts to maintain the gold reserve in the
treasury The presidents recommends
tion on this subject is that we
should retire from circulation all So
called greenbacks and treasury notes, and
substitute for them bonds of small or
large denominations to run for many
years, at a low rate of interest
The message concludes with an earnest
argument against the free coinage of sill
ver and an appeal 60 the people of the
country not to further the cause of free
silver by advocating it, to the detriment,
as he claims, Of the financial credit of the
country OF the impairment of a sound and
stable Gu rency.

says:
Il have given your Catarrh Balm most
thorough trial and found it all, and even
more, in its immediate and permanent good
effects, than l had anticipated. From the
beginning of its use and continuously it was
highly beneficial and curative. For eatarrh,
oolds, difficulty in nasal breathing, preven-
hon of colds, soreness of throat, it is the
only remedy myself and family have found
That does all and more than it PROMISES

that 1t may prove dangerous ailment is
apt to be overlooked. Pretzinger's for

at night the cold will be gone in the morn
ing; used while the choking spasm is on the
paroxysm will cease instantly and the
breathing will come naturally Three or
four jars will cure chronic case of catarrh.
