The President’s Message.
We have read this extraordinarily
lengthy Message, with much care and
find it difficult to summarise it satis
factorily within the space at our com
mand. While the material ia sound
and excellent, a good deal might have
been left out with advantage and va
rious topics might have been touched
upon at less space for the convenience
of the general reader. Mr. Cleveland
evidently prepared the document for
the few who have the time to examine
the details, rather than the many,
who will shrink from its great prolixi
ty. We find it occupying 16 columns
of closely printed matter in small
type in the Augusta Daily Chronicle
of the 9tli inst. In saying this we
must also say it is a work of marked
ability, showing that the President ia
deeply skilled in all that concerns the
interests of our great Republic in Its
domestic and foreign relations. It
opens with a feeling allusion to our
National bereavement in the death of
our late Vice-President, Mr. Hen
dricks. All of our foreign relations
are shown to be on a satisfactory and
pacific footing not only on this conti
nent but in other portions of the
world. He holds to the Monroe doc
trine denying the right of Europeans
to intrude npou the destinies of the
nations and peoples of the American
continent South of the British posses
sions in North America.
THE NICARAGCAN TREATY.
My immediate predecessor caused
to be negotiated with Nicaragua
treaty for the construction by and at
the sole cost of the United States of a
canal through Nicaraguan territory,
and laid it before the Senate. Pend
ing the action of that body thereon,
I withdrew the treaty for re-examina
tion. Attentive consideration of its
provisions leads me to withhold it from
re-submission to the Senate. Main
taining, as I do, the tenets of a line of
precedents from Washington's day,
which proscribe entangling alliances
with foreign State •», I do not favor a
policy of acquisition of new and dis
tant territory, or the incorporation of
remote interests with our own.
The President favors the Tehuantepec
rente and says it should be construct
ed for the world's benefit, a trust for
mankind to be removed from the
chance of domination by any single
power, nor must it become a point of
invitation for hostilities or a prize for
warlike ambition. Ho says the har
mony of our relations with China is
sustained and tiie Chinese in this
country must be protected against
lawless mobs. He refers to the French
claims, the American hog, naturali
zations, treaties, the Carolines affair,
American fisheries, extradition agree
ments, the Haytian insurrection, the
cholera epidemic, Mexican relations,
foreign relations, copyright confer
ence, Turkish treaty, negotiations
with Venezuela, New Orleans Expo
sition, art discrimination, and some
other subjects which occupy much
space but will he of no special inter
est to our readers. In reference to
the Treasury he says: The ordinary
receipts from all sources for the fiscal
year ended June 30th, 1885, were
$332,090,900.38, of this sum $181,471,-
939,34 was received from customs,
$112,498,725,54 from Internal Revenue.
He then shows for what particular
purposes money was expended, for
pensions, the civil service, etc.,
amounting to $‘200,220,935,50 leaving a
surplus in the Treasury at the close
of the fiscal year of $03,403,771,27. We
omit specifying all the separate items
of expense. Over a column is appro
priated to the national banking sys
tem. The whole number of the banks
are 2,727. He says:
The question of free trade is not In
volved, nor is there now any occasion
for the general discussion of the wis
dom or expediency of a protective
system. Justice and fairness dictate
that in any modification of our pres
ent laws relating to revenue, the in
dustries and interests which have
been encouraged by such laws, and
in which our citizens have large in
vestments, should not be ruthlessly
injured or destroyed. We should also
deal with the subject in such a man-,
rier as to protect the interests of
American labor, which is the capital
of our working men. Its stability and
proper remuneration furnish the most
justifiable pretext for a protective pol
icy.
Within these limitations a certain
reduction should be made in our cus
toms revenue. The amount of such
reduction having been determined,
the inquiry follows: Where can it
best be remitted and what articles can
best be released from duty in the in
terest of our citizens? I think the reduc
tion should be made in the revenue
derived from a tax upon the imported
necessaries of life. We thus directly
lessen the cost of living in every fami
ly of the land, and give to the ’people
jn eyery humble home a larger meas
ure of the reward of frugal industry.
The Message has much to say upon
various subjects, such as Steamboat
Inspection. Marine Hospital Service,
Life Saving Coast Survey, Signal
Service, Military Education, Obstruc
tion of Navigation, the. Navy, Postal
Service, Interior report, Pension re
port, Patents, the Merman question,
Government Library, Ac., all of which
we pass over as possessing but little
general interest.
We present more fully than any
thing else.JMr. Cleveland’s remarks on
the Silver question.
The most vital part of the Silver
Coinage Act remains inoperative and
unexecuted and without an ally or
friend we battle upon the silver field
in an illogical and losing contest. To
give full effect to the design of Con
gress on tins subject, I have made
careful and earnest endeavor, since
tEe adjournment of the last Congress.
To this end I delegated a gentleman
well instructed in iiscai science, to
proceed to the financial centres of Eu
rope, and in conjunction with our
Ministers to England, France and
Germany, to obtain a full knowledge
o# the attitude and intent of those
governments in respect to the estab
lishment of such an international ra
tio as would procure free coinage of
both metals at the mines of those
countries and our own. By my direc
tion our Consul General at Paris has
given close attention to the proceed
ings of the Oongresss of the Latin
Union, in order to indicate our inter
est in its objects and report its action.
It may be said in brief, as tbe result
of these efforts that the attitude of
the leading powers remains substan
tially unchanged since the monetary
conference of 1881, nor is it to be ques
tioned that the views of these govern
ments are in each instance supported
by the weight of public opinion. Tbe
steps thus taken have, therefore, only
more fully demonstrated the useless
ness of further attempts at present to
arrive at any agreement on the sub-
jeet with other nations. Inthe mean
time we are accumulating silver coin
based upon our own peculiar ratio, to
such an extent and assuming so hea
vy a burden to be provided for in any
international negotiations as will ren
der us an undesirable party to any fu
ture monetary conference of nations.
It is a significant fact that four of the
five countries composing the Latin
Union mentioned in our coinage act
embarrassed with their silver curren
cy have just completed an agreement
among themselves that no more silver
shall be coined by their respective
governments, and that such as lias al
ready been coined and in circulation
shall be redeemed in gold by tbe
country of its coinage. The resort to
this expedient by these countries may
well arrest the attention of those who
suppose that we can succeed without
shock or injury in the attempt to
circulate upon its merits all the silver
we may coin under the provisions of
our silver coinage act. The condition
in which our*freasury may be placed
by a persistence in our present
course is a matter of concern to
every patriotic citizen who does
not desire his Government Oi pa;
such of its obligations
condition be such as to oblige us in a
prudent management of our affairs
to discontinue the calling in and pay
ment of interest-bearing obligations,
which we hare the right now to dis
charge, and thus avoid the payment
of father interest thereon. The so-
called debtor class for whose benefit
the continued compulsory coinage of
silver is insisted upon, are not dishon
est because they are in debt; and they
should not be suspected of a desire to
jeopardize the financial safety of the
country in order that they may can
cel their present debts by paying the
same in depreciated dollars, nor should
it be forgotton that it is.not the rich
nor the money lender alone that must
submit to such a readjustment, and
enforced by the Government and
their debtors, thepittauceof the widow
and the orphan, a ud the incomes of
helpless beneficiaries of all kinds
would be disastrously reduced. The
depositors in savings banks and in
other institutions, which hold in trust
the savings of the poor, when their
little accumulations are sealed down
to meet the new order of things would,
In their distress, painfully realize the
delusion of the promise made to them
that plentiful money would improve
their condition. We have now on
hand all the silver dollars necessary
to supply the present needs of the
people and to satisfy those who from
sentiment wish to see them in circula
tion; and if tlieireoinage is suspended,
they can be obtained by all who de
sire them. If the need of more is at
any time apparent their coinage may
be renewed.
That disaster has not already over
taken us furnishes no proof that danger
does not wait upon a continuation of
the present silver coinage. We have
been saved by the most careful-man
agement and unusual expedients, by a
combination of fortunate conditions,
and by a confident expectation that
the course of the Government in re
gard to silver coinage would he
speedily changed by the action of
Congress. Prosperity hesitates upon
our threshold because of the dangprs
and uncertainties surrounding this
question. Capital timidly shrinks
from trade, and investors are un
willing to take the chance of the
questionable shape in which their
money will be returned to them,
while euterxirlse halts at a riskagainst
which care and sagacious manage
ment do not protect. As a necessary
consequence labor lacks employment,
and suffering and distress are visited
upon a portion of our fellow citizens
especially entitled to the eareful con
sideration of those charged with the
duties of legislation. No interest ap
peals to us so strongly for a safe and
stable currency as the vast army of
the unemployed. I recommend ’ the
suspension of the compulsory coinage
of silver dollars, directed by the law
passed In February, 1878.
In conclusion I commend to the
wise care and thoughtful attention
of Congress the needs, the welfare and
the aspirations of an intelligent and
generous nation. To subordinate
these to the narrow advantages of
partisanship or the accomplishment
of selfish aims, is to violate the
people’s trust and betray the peo
ple’s interests. But an individ
ual sense ot responsibility on the part
of each of us, and* a stern determina
tion to perform our duty well, must
give us place among those who have
addedin their day and generation to the
glory and prosperity of our beloved
land. Grover Cleveland.

Gladstone’s Triumphs.
Later accounts, those of the 3rd, add
mnch to the success of the Liberals.
The Tories are disheartened. Re
turns up to 3 o’clock on this day give
Gladstone and the Liberals 256,
Saulsbury and the Tories 208, the Par-
nellltas or Nationalists 48. This gives
the Liberals as many as the Tories
and Parnellites united. The Tories,
it is stated, have given thrall hope of
victory. The great contest is between
the Gladbtone-Liberals, and the Sauls-
bury-Tories. The London Standard
gives up all hopes for the Tories. The
Parnellites are outsiders in claiming
possession of the Government. Their
object is to sustain the party that will
do the most for Ireland. Gladstone is
the best man for them but they turn
ed against him. This was bad policy.
Earl Rosebury, in a speech said: Ire
land had shown great ingratitude to
Gladstone, but Gladstone still says he
intends to do the best in his power
for the Irish. It is fortunate that
they have in Gladstone such a good,
great and liberal friend. Further re
turns give the liberals 262, the Tories
211 and the Parnellites 52. This makes
a change of one. The accounts do
not represent any hope of a change
for the Tories in the remaining votes.
The counties are polling so strongly in
favor of the Liberals that the general
opinion is, they will have more votes
than the Tories and Parnellites put
together. The Tories cannot main
tain power unless they get a very
large proportion of the 144 votes yet
to be polled. We look for a signal
victory for Gladstone and his Liberal
party, and we are glad of it, for the
sake of the Irish. We see it stated
that the opponents of Gladstone, now
that thev are defeated, say they are
“opposed toplacing any reliance on the
Parnellites.” These are the words as
we find them in the accounts of the 3rd.
If this is true they are showing their
hand early, and the Parnellites will
knowhow to estimate any dependence
upon them. Gladstone is their man
and we said so from the beginning of
the contest.
Speaking of MilledgeviUe reminds
me that the steel rails of a Georgia
railroad covered tbe first iron-clad
gnnboat ever built. The Georgia
railroad from Augusta to Macon
was about completed to Mayfield
when the war broke out. The
contractors were waiting with fold
ed hands for a ship load of
steel rails that had been ordered from
England with which to build the road
to Milledgeville, thirty miles from
Mayfield. The ship reached Charles
ton just as the echo of the first gun
from Fort Sumter rolled back from
the sea. The rails were seized by the
Confederate States’ government and
the ship with its cargo sent to the
navy yard at Portsmouth. The gov
ernment soon afterward commenced
the building of their iron-clads. The
hull of the Merrimac, which had been
burned to the water's edge bv the
Federals when they evacuted Ports
mouth, was taken and after being
converted into a gnnboat, was plated
with steel nils that were bought for
a railroad in Georgia. The Merrimac
was christened the Virginia, and its
fate is well known.—Macon Tele

The opening of the two Houses of
Congress took place on the 7th inst.
We pass over all the formalities of the
occasion simply to state in the fewest
words what was done. Mr. Carlise
was elected speaker, his opponent be-
in$f Mr. Reed of Maine. Mr. Carlisle
m a very appropriate speech returned
thanks for the honor done him, pledg
ed to administer the laws governing
the proceedings of the House with
fidehty and fairness to the extent of
his ability, and asked of the members
their co-operation to sustain hint in
every proper effort to obtain that re
sult. He called upon the representa
tives of the two parties to re
cognize the integrity of each oth
er, and respect the honest opin
ions of each, and cultivate a spir
it of mutual forbearance as necessary
to enable tbe House to conduct its
deliberations with order and decorum.
The House, he said is only the custo
dian of its own peace and dignity and
without its cordial support no presid
ing officer can preserve either. He
concluded by again expressing his
thanks for the honor conferred upon
him, and his earnest desire to dis
charge his duties without prejudice
to any public interest. The oath of
office was administered by Mr. Kelly
of Pennsylvania, and as the roll was
called the members appeared at the
bar and were sworn in by the speaker.
The officers of the House'were then
elected after which the Senate was in
formed that the House was ready for
business. The Speaker appointed Mr.
Blount, of Georgia, and Messrs. Ran
dall and Reed, to act with a commit
tee of the Senate to wait upon the
President and inform him that they
were ready to receive any communi
cation he desired to make. Appropri
ate action was had in reference to the
death of Mr. Hendricks, and out of
respect to his memory the House ad
journed to 3:50 p. m. next day.
Mr. Sherman was elected ^’resident
of the Senate, the Democrats casting
a complimentary vote for that posi
tion to Senator "Harris of Tennessee.
Logan and Blair were sworn in os
Senators. A committee was appoint
ed to act with that of the House to
notify the President as above stated.
The Senate also took appropriate ac
tion on the death of Mr. Hendricks
and then adjourned out of respect to
his memory.
Spend Your Money at Home.
The following are given by an ex^
change as among the most forcible
reasons why you should spend yoor
money at home. We commend them
to our readers.
1. It is your home, you cannot Im
prove it much by taking your money
away to spend, or invest.
2. There is no way of improving a
pluee so much as by encouraging good
merchants, good schools and good
people to settle among you, to spend
your money at home.
3. Spend your money at home, for
there is where you get it. It is your
duty.
4. Spend your money at home, be
cause when it is necessary for you to
get credit, it is your own town mer
chants you have to get it from, and
they must wait for their money.
Therefore, when you have the money,
spend it at home.
5. Spend your money at home. It
will make better business for vour
merchants, they can and will keep
better assortments and sell at lower
rates than if the only business they
can do is credited, while the money
goes to other places.
The peanut crop is an important
one. In 1884-5, according to reports,
it amounted to 3,550,000 bushels, of
which Virginia raised 2,000,000 bush
els, Tennessee 1,250,000, and North
Carolina 300,000. The estimated crop
of 1885-6 is 2,400,000. The bushels par
celled as follows: Virginia 1,500,000,
Tennessee 700,000, and North Carolina
200,000. The decline in prices last
spring led the farmers to shut down
in production, and the -rreage this
year has been decreased. The sea
son, too, has been less favorable than
last year, and the yield per acre is not
so large. Georgia ought to do a full
share in raising peanuts, but she does
not do much. Even those that are
parched and sold about the streets of
our towns are brought from other
states.
No young farmer, says the Vermont
Farmer, should be discouraged be
cause he has not got rich the first
year of farming. The young man
who has been brought up on a farm
and is egotistical enough to think
that he knows all that can be known
about farming will find by experience
that there are many lessons in store
for him. The other day, in jjmyers-
ing with an old machinist wno has
made a fortune in his business, he
said: “I have been learning all my
life and old as I am I find new things
yet to learn.” This desire and apti
tude to learn is one of the secrets of
his great success. What is true of the
machinist’s calling is just as true of
the farmer’s.

It said that in a good crop of wheat
the grain gives nearly or quite as
much weight as the straw. With oats
and barley the grain is usually In
excess of the straw so far as weight
is concerned. In the rye crop straw
usually weighs more than grain and
near a good market is often worth
more.

16 Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 7, 1885.
The event in Washington to-day
was the beginning of Congress. The
session opened in the usual way.
There were crowds in the spectators'
galleries and in the corridors of the
Capitol, while on the floor of the
House there was the old tiuie confu
sion, bustle, noise, handshaking, ex
change of congratulations and intro
ductions. The old officers were re
elected from the Speaker down. Tlte
Republicans gave a complimentary
vote fqr Speaker to Mr. Reed, of
Maine.
There were more than a hundred
new faces among the Representatives,
and the lmil looked much improved
by its itdw carpet and freshly varnish
ed furniture. The seat drawing pre
sented the usual amusing scene of ex
pectation, suspense, and disappoint
ment on the countenances of the for
tunate and less fortunate members.
The Senate chamber looked but lit
tle changed since the last adjourn
ment, except for the crape draping
and floral decorations around the
chair of the late Vice-President. The
Senate opened as quietly us if its va
cation had been only nine hours in
stead of nine months.
Senator John Sherman was elected
to succeed Mr. Hendricks as President
pro tern. Senator Logan having de
clined the first caucus nomination for
the place. Nothing could have
been more repugnant to tho Demo
crats than the selection of Sherman.
They would have prefered Logan as
the lesser evil. While Senator Logan
is a narrow, positive partisan, his dis
creet action after the last Presidential
election was in marked contrast to
the undignified conduct cf Mr. Blaine.
And then it must be admitted that
while he has been in Congress during
a period of unparalleled extravagance
and corruption, his personal honesty
has not been questioned.
Sherman is an accomplished hypo
crite. While professing patriotism, ho
would at any moment be willing to
plunge the country in war, if he conid
thereby promote his own selfish inter
ests. fluring his public life in Wash
ington, while engaged in no other bus
iness ostensibly, and while receiving
the limited pay of Congressman or
Secretary of. the Treasury, he has
accumaluted a fortune estimated at
several millions. He is known to
have been the brains in the Pres
idential theft of 1877, and to have been
always an unscrupulous, plausible,
ambitious, avaricious demagogue.
The President’s message is ready for
Congress and will probably be sent in
at to-morrow’s session. ()f the Cabinet
reports sent to the President, that of
Secretary Whitney may be mentioned
as one of the ablest. He has found
during his incumbency, decaying
dock-yards, squandered millions, bad
management, and no ships. He
scathingly reviews past methods, 'and
holds that the only remedy is in com
plete re-organization of the Navy De
partment. While he wastes no time
in dragging to light the past rascal
ities er in making accusations against
former .Secretaries, the plain manner
in which he exposes the mismanage
ment, evasions and violations of law
that existed whpn he assumed control,
is the most effective indictment he
could make against his predecessors.
In regard to prospective legislation
it may be asserted that the House wiil
first give attention to the change of
its rules. Then a bill will be present
ed for giving the Presidential succes
sion to the Cabinet. It is urged that
the temporary President, provided by
such a bill, would not be the people's
choice, but neither “would an officer
elected by the Senate. Such a hill
would meet the emergency better
than any other plan thut has been
proposed, for it would secure the con
tinuance in power of the party and
the administration elected by the
people.
Then there will be debates on the
Silver question, and a hard fight over
it and the tariff. There are many
theories among'the silver men. The
West will be for silver, the East n-
gainst it, and the South will be divid
ed.
The session has opened very quietlv,
but sensations will come later. A-
mong them will probably be a scheme
of Republican Senators to impeach
the Attorney General in connection
with the great telephone case.
