WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. 81
There nra good reasons for the belief
that in HIS forthcoming message to
Congress President Cleveland will
strictly adhere to his previous utter
ances in regard to the tarin and finan-
cial questions, and Its altogether proba-
hl9 that these subjects, together with
tha. Of our foreign ufliru. will occupy
practically, II, indeed, not absolutely,
the whole message TO the exclusion Of
all other matter. II Is believed that the
President viii commend the present
tarifI ~ a step in the direction Of light.
ening the burdens OF tho people and
that although II has thus fur failed to
brlnRiin sufficient amount OF revenue
to satisfy the needs OF the government,
1t may confidently be expected TO do 80
under normal business conditions. II
IS believed that he win point out that
already the incrcn6ing receipts from
customs and internal revenue unmlE-
taknbly show gradual though sure re-
turn 20 business prOsperity and that In
the rear future the receipts from these
sourcsa will oven more thnn meet all
legitimate expenses Of the government.
II is. therefore, not thought that Mr
Cleveland viii recommend tho impOgl-
tIon OF any additional Internal revenue
taxation. either by increasing the duties
now existing or by adding new sub
jccts. There has been considerable
diEcusplOn among politicians nS 10
whether the President will recommend
legislation retiring grGenbacla by the
issue of low rate bonds. II seems to be
almost certain that no will, and II IL
not unlikely that he will ask CongrcHH.
~ an alternative, TO authorize the ncc-
rotary OF the treasury To Issue low
rnte bonds. In his discretion, within
certain limits, 10 protect tho gold TO-
