criminal offenders against its laws! Exiirpaton

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

II Ia now more than twelve years since MT.
Cleveland. by his nomination against Mr.. Blaine,
became the unQuestiOned leader of great Ma
tonal party. To him it is largely due that a
disastrous change in the tariff has been effected,
and but for him the effort of that party to de-
base the National currency and tarnish the Ma
tional honor might have prevailed. His closing
Message delivered yesterday goes to party
hopelessly wrecked. beaten by popular plu-
rality of more than 100000 and disgraced by
its alliance against his honorable protest, with
the basest elements Of society. Yet to such
party his Message is in truth addressed, for it
asserts again the economic policy which brought
the party to utter defeat. renews the attempt
to make everything turn upon monetary agla-
ton, and repeats the appeal of that party 10
, prejudices against organizations OF capital ap-
parently he has never heard the result or the
elections two years ago, which ihtrus'ed INV"
making power to a House opposed by more thah
two-thirds to his economic theory, nor the re-
turns Of the late election, which mas intrusted
mower in both branches Of Congress to the adj
yersaries of that theory.
The President must be commended for omit
ting much of the customary recapltuiauoh
of the department reports but he could nave cut
ont more than half his Message on the same
ground without lessening its value. Ihe repetl-
tion Of statistics regarding the finances, winch
have been made familiar even to WEAKNESS IN
the recent contest and the recital of much other
matter already made known through annual re-
ports, serve no useful purpose 1t is, indeed,
gratifying to know that nearly third OF the
armament for defence Of the seacoast has been
provided and that great progress has been made
toward creating a Navy The need OF reform
in the law regarding postage on second-cass
mail matter which opens the door to enormous
abuses, is urged with propriety. But the por-
ton of the Message which treats of the gravest
questions of National policy is written as If in
complete disregard of the fact that the people
have decided against him.
The President admits that the Treasury deficit
during the last fiscal year was over $250OOOOO
but fails to observe that 1t has been over $52-
100000 for eleven months Of the current calen
dar year. and expresses the belief that the ex
isting tariff will yield revenue enough. The
prostration Of industries, lie distinctly affirms, Is
I'm no way due to any action on the tariff ques-
tion-a statement which illustrates his singular
faculty of ignoring palpable facts Of everyday
experience. II they do not fit his theories. He
urges that the people have the blessing Of cheap
or necessarIes, but ignores the fact that, be-
cause their wages and profits have been reduced
far more. they have given their verdict against
the tariff which he would have allowed a fair
opportunity" This Is not the utteranee Of a
competent leader. In the opening sentences Of
his Message he expresses qualification that the
whole people have peacefully submitted to the

familiar task In u creditabe manner, causing
much uneasiness and some excitement. Mr.. Mel
