COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE.
Wow of the LONDON Press ON the III
nancIat Document.

nanclal Document.
LONDON, Jan. 9.-Commenting edi-
torialiy on the message sent to con-
grcss by President Cleveland, the
Standard says 1T is a state paper
of very high quality. To us it is
amazing that language of such plain
ness shoult be necessary. To offer
to pay national obligations in silver
is to cheat the creditor of more than
half his due. No self-respectiug hon
orable people co uid contemplate the
preparation of such fraud with
ANYTHING Lut horror and disgust.
The DAILY News believes that Pres
ident Cleveland's protest will be ig-
nored and that more bonds Will be
issued on the runlous conditions as
before
The Chronicle fears that the presi-
dents spirited appeal will fall on
deaf ears. especially if the belief pre-
walls in congress that the cat is about
to lump on the silver side of the fence.
The Times saws: The message is
n very weighty, indeed, n rather
alarming document. The life of the
present congress is too brief for the
hope OF the adoption of President
Cleveland's suggestions, even If ma
ioritv should favor them. 1t Is I'M
probable that the next congress VIII
adopt Mr.. Cleveland's lead, and in
anv case, it may be doubted whether
an attempt begun in March TO cope
with the decline of golG would be toe
late to avert the serious consequences
anticipated, hence Mr.. Cleveland
plan is only of speculative interest
