The Commercial Advertiser says:
Two years ago Mr.. Cleveland was
busy setting the poor man with his
multitudinous vote against the rich
one, and clamoring for a tariff that
would benefit the consumer at the
expense of the manufacturer. To-
day he goes out of his way to say
that, while capital and wealth."
through combinations and other
wise, sometimes gain an undue
advantage, to attempt to create a
prejudice against the advocates of
safe and sound currency by the
insinuation, more or less directly
made, that they belong to
the financial and business classes"
is ''insidious.
The Evening Post: Mr.. Cleve-
land is undoubtedly correct in main
tanning that this silver question
needs only to be argued out before
the people to be settled right
Evening World: The president
has sprung to the front in the cause
of gold standard, and, at the head
OF the moneyed and financial inter-
ests of the country, and especially
of the East, will battle against sill

seeking a reelection.
The Brooklyn Eagle: The strength
of the letter is in the fact that it
appeals to the common sense of the
country irrespective of all consid-
erations of politics.
NEW YORK, April 15.-The Ad-
vertiser tomorrow will say: Mr..
Cleveland has not materially
strengthened the cause of sound
hnance. He cannot be permitted to
masquerade as a consistent cham
plon of sound money. In so far as
he has opposed the free silver craze
he deserves credit, but he has dis
tlnctly countenanced the equally
dangerous project of an irredeem-
able fiat bank currency"
The Enquirer Republican) will say.
president Cleveland himself was led
astray on free trade, and his admin,
lstration in consequence has little to
commend itself to the people. But il
mas not fallen into the free silver pit
1all- 1T has escaped that Populistic
snare"
BALTIMORE, April 15.-The News
independent DemocraD says: IF
sound money sentiment is to save ia
from
at once, says Mr.. Cleveland. In his
statement the president hits the buIvs
eye squarely in the center"
The American (Republican) saws.
Some of the points made in the letter
are timely and ought to exert some in
nuence on the Cleveland wing of the
Democratic party in the Western and
Southern states:"

monometallist case"
CHICAGO, April 15.-The Tribune will
say, with reference to President CIeve-
lands letter: president Cleveland
rips aside the thin veil behind which
the silver extremists are seeking to
disguise their motives and objects The
extremists are talking about 'bimetal-
lism,' but they do so only to delude the
people. They know that bimetallism
would be impossible under the terms
proposed by them"
The Inter Ocean will say: eff Mr..
Cleveland thinks that the American
people are ready to abandon genuine
bfmetallism and settle down a choice
between gold and silver as the money
standard, he is greatly mistaken. BIZ
metallism is a fundamental principle
of American finance, as old as the gov
ernment, and cherished by all, except
a few extremists, as the only solution
of the monetary problem"
NEW YORK, April 15.-The World

The Press says: Judging from Mr..
Cleveland's previous utterances on the
subject, which is the only accessible
evidence his idea of sound money is
as ragged and reckless as that of the
loosest free silver Populist"
