IGNORES TRUE CAUSES.
Mr.. Hopkins, Rep, H., q member of the
last Committee on Ways and Means, said;
The message ignores the true cause OF
the unnumbered woes that have been
brought upon the people of this country.
and that ID u repeal OF tariff which gave
enough revenue TO pay all the running ex-
penscs OF the government and left sur
plus IN the Treasury, and in lieu or that
placed upon the statute books OF the coun-
try the German Wilson bill, that has
never given revenue sufficient to meet
the running expenses or the government
Every month since that bill became law
our expenses have been not less than Tour
millions more than the receipts collected
under 1t, and some months the deficit has
amounted TO $4,000, ,00Q."
Mr.. Grosvenor, Rep, Ohio: THE mes
sage, SO far as 1t deals In details of our
foreign relations, is very interesting and
Instructive. But when Ec refers To the

MR.. BARRETT's OPINION.
Mr. Barrett, Republican, OF Massachusetts:
Tine only point OF Importance is tue adop-

that the Treasury's only danger is IN the

the House Within few weeks"
Mr.. Patterson, Democrat, of Tennessee:
Tine message Is an exceedingly able State
paper. IB is statesma Mike and courageous
throughout. While listening to the Presi-
dents patriotic review OF our foreign re-
latious, his courageous adherence 10 the
principles OF reform, and his JacksoDian

PROFOUNDLY impressed with the stupendous
blunder many or his party Associates have
madei not standing by hiin. His party, for
a time. has gone down in defeat, but Mr..
Cleveland remains in the unshaken conf

WHAT SENATOR'S SAID.
The Presidents message was received
in the Senate without demonstration or
any character. But little attention was
paid TO its reading, save by Senators Sher-
relations committee, and some OF the new
Senators whu- were experiencing their
first Impressions Of the Senate
Such Senators as Sherman, NJ organ.
Gorman, and Mills declined to discuss the
but Mr.. Sherman's position, so
far as the financial part of it is con-
cerned, is well known, for during the re-
cent campaign he made speech in
Ohio, in which he took grounds
against the retirement of the greenbacks.
and he has at various times repeated the
same sentiments on the floor of the Senate.
Among those who expressed their opin-
ions were the following:
g Mr.. Aidrich, Rep, RI:
..In the face OF a rapidly growing def
icit, the message suggests no me thod
for providing an increase in revenue. The

imttee, as at present constituted, nor
from any committee, as l believe, that
will be formed in the Senate. With de-
creasiDg exports and revenues, totally
inadequate to the needs of the government
the President contents himself with a
discussion OF a question that cannot ar
ford the necessary relief, and does not
meet the conditions now existing. The
portion Of the message to be commended
Is the reference to Venezuelan matters"
MORE BOND ISSUES.
