THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message of the president to con-
gress this year is very lengthy docu-
ment but does not include so much as
is usual of tie substance of the reports
of the heads of departments but in
main a narrative of our relations
with foreign countries and an elabor-
ate dissertation on monetary affairs.
The character of the utterances of
the president on the silver coinage
question, shows conclusively that he
does not regard the discussion Of it as
''a temporary craze" that is fast dying
out, but on the contrary he practically
admits what all free coinage men haN e
always believed that the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase law has not
proved to be panacea for our financial
ills that he anticipated when he called
the extra session Of congress to re-
peal it.
He strikes some hard blows at silver
but the effect, we think, will be only 10
cause deeper inquiry by the people
int our currency system, and more
aro more of the public will seek to
dive 10 vn to fundamental principles
to ascertain, if possible, where the root
of evil lies.
thing must be clear to every
on mind. that ever since the time
when silver was stricken down from
its gaa of being a standard OF
valu us, Lee 3lation on finance has
been failure no measure that has
been adopted has given the promised
relief and although the president pre-
diets untold evils would result from
the free co.Dags of silver he does not
point out aay way to avert the evils ol
our present system, but suggests that
alinlited coinage of silver is worthy
of consideration"
He advocates the retirement o
greenbacks, thus further contracting
the currency which is now altogether
insufficient for the demand of com
merce.
He concludes begging free silver
men Ito re-exanine their views anC
beliefs in the light of patriotic reason
and familiar experience" depreciates
the agitation of the subject and en-
treats congress "to promptly and ef
fectively consider the ills of critics
financial plight
The last entreaty of his we hearth!
endorse, but we want them to con
slider the advice he gives US "re-ex
anime their views" and stop this ever
lasting tinkering with finance and 81
at it in an earnest manner based upoI
principle. There are laws of finance
as inexorable in their results as deatf
itself. Neither the president nor con-
gress can change their effects, legisla
ton must be subservient to them. Al
the foolish laws and halfway meas.
ures of the past have only tended tC
establish the fact that legislation tina
attempts to subvert the laws of natur,
is futile.
Nature has provided us with TIVE
metals suitable for mediums Of ex
change and the government that re
jects either commits financial suicid,
and must abide the result.
We desire to say to the president ant
congress that we have re-eXaminet
our views from every standpoint VIZ
can think of, and we most earnestly
entreat of all to do the same. Let us
all seek the truth and act upon it Sc
that all will be benefited.
