THE lNTELLlGENCER.
WHEELING, DECEMBER I, 1897.



The first annual message of President
Mckinley to Congress will not be disap-
pointing 10 the intelligence, the
patriotism, and the conserva-
tism of the country. The docu-
ment. the text of which appears this
morning, is notable for the conciseness
and direct method of expression which
are characteristic of all Mr., McKinley's
public utterances, as well as for thar
strength of Amerlcanlsm and sound
Judgment which has drawn the people 10
MIN in the past.
In dealing with the questions that con-
front Congress for settlement and the
affairs Of the government, the President
combines the wisdom OF statesmanshlp
with the practical common sense and
logic Of the busIness man. There Is no in
yolyed or ambiguous language, no theu-
retical dlscu sion Of economical or finan-
clal issues, but plain presentation of
policies and situations win frank and
courageous recommendations and sub.
mIssIons of views.
IN the matter of currency reform, the
President reviews the history of our
pressnt system. and points out its defects
and the necessity for the reforms which
