CLEVELAND'S CALL.
IIE APPEALS TO CONGRESS TO
1)0 SOMETHING
To Save the Country’s Credit— Bonds
Suggested as the Only Remedy.
Tbe president bas sent to congress
tbe following message on the financial
question:
To the Senate and House of representa¬
tives :
In my last annual message, I recom¬
mended to the serious consideration ol
the congress the condition of our na¬
tional finances, and in connection with
the subject indorsed the plan of currency
legislation which, at that time, seemed
to furnish protection against impending
danger. This plan has not been ap¬
proved by the congress. In the mean¬
time the situation has so changed and the
emergency now appears so threatening,
that I deem It my duty to ask at the
hauds of the legislative branch of the
government such prompt and effective
action as will restore confidence In our
financial soundness and avert business
disaster and universal distress among
our people. Whatever may be the merits
the plan outlined in my annual mes¬
sage as a remedy for evils then existing
and as a safeguard against the depletion
of the gold reserve then in the treasury,
1 am now convinced that its rejection by
congress and our present advanced stage
of financial perplexity, necessitates addi¬
tional or different legislation.
OUR GREAT RESOURCES UNLIMITED.
With natural resoucreg unlimited 1n
variety and productive strength, and
with a people whose activity and enter¬
prise seek only a fair opportunity to
achieve flnational success and greatness,
our progress should not be checked by a
false nancial policy, and a heedless dis¬
regard of sound monetary laws nor
should the timidity and fear which en
S ender stand in the way of our prosper
_ty. It is hardly disputed that this pre
dicament confronts us today. Therefore,
Ho one in any degree responsible for the
making and execution of our laws
Should fail to see a patriotic duty in hon¬
estly and sincerely attempting to relieve
the situation. Manifestly, this effort will
bot succeed unless it is made untrammel¬
led by the prejudice of partisanship and
with a steadfast determination to resist
tjie temptation to accomplish party ad¬
vantages. We may w r ell remember that
if we are threatened with financial diffi¬
culties, all our people, in every station of
life are concerned and surely those who
Suffer will not receive the promotion of
party interests as an excuse for permit¬
ting our present troubles to advance to

cZmofdanger conceived opinions w; to may the be end able that to seek in a
with unclouded vision a safe and reason
able protection.
THE REAL TROUBLE EXPLAINED.
The real trouble which confronts us
consists in a lack of confidence, wide¬
spread and constantly increasing, in the
continuing ability or disposition of the
government to pay Us obligations in
gold. This lack of confidence grows to
Dome extent out of the palpable and ap¬
parent embarrassment attending the
efforts of the government under existing
laws to procure gold and to a greater
extent out of the Impossibility of either,
keeping it in the treasury or cancelling
obligations by its expenditures after it is
obtained.
TO ISSUE BONDS THE ONLY REMEDY.
The only way left open to the govern¬
ment for procuring gold is by the issue
and sale of bonds.
The only bonds that can be so Issued
were authorized 25 years ago, and were
not calculated to meet our present needs.
Among other disadvantages they are
made payable in coin instead of specifical¬
ly in gold, which in existing conditions
detract largely and in an increasing ratio
from their desirability as investments.
It is by no means certain that bonds of
this description can much longer be dis¬
posed of at a price creditable to the
financial character of our government.
The most dangerous and irritating fea¬
ture of the situation,’ however, remains
to be mentioned.
THE MOST DANGEROUS FEATURE.
It is found in the means by which the
treasury is despoiled of gold thus ob¬
tained without cancelling a single gov¬
ernment obligation and solely for the
benefit of those who find profit in ship¬
ping it abroad or whose fears induce
them to horde it at home. We have out¬
standing about $500,000,000 of cur¬
rency notes of the government for wheh
gold may be demanded, and curiously
enough the law requires that when pre¬
sented and in fact redeemed and paid in
gold, they shall be re-issued. These
same notes may do duty' many times in
drawing gold from the treasury, nor can
this process be arrested as long as private
parties profit or otherwise see an advan¬
tage in repeating the operation. More
than $300,000,000 in these notes have
already been redeemed In gold, and not¬
withstanding such redemption, they
all still outstanding.
Since the seventeenth day of 'January,
1894, our bonded interest bearing debt
has increased $100,000,000. Forthe pur¬
pose of obtaining gold to replenish our
coin reserve, two issues were made
amounting to fifty millions each—one in
January and the other in November. As
a result of the first issue, there was real¬
ized something mor. than fifty-eight mill¬
ions of dollars In gold. Between that
issue and the succeeding one, in Novem¬
ber, comprising a period of about ten
months, nearly one hundred and three
pillions ol dollars in gold were drawn
Trom the treasury. This made the sec¬
ond issue necessary and upon that moro
than $58,00u,000 ingold was again real¬
ized.
Between the date of the second issue
and the present time covering a period
of only about two months, more than
jixty-nine million dollars in gold have
been drawn from the treasury. These
large sums of gold were expended with
out any cancellation of government obli
gatlons, or in any permanent way bene
fitting our people or improving our pe
cuniary situation.
FINANCIAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR.
The financial events of the past year
suggest „ . facts _ and „ conditions which ,, .
should certainly arrest attention:
More than 172,000,000 of dollars
in gold have been drawn out of
the treasury during the year
for the purpose of ohinmotits '.li,
abroad, . , or . hoarding .. at , , home, while
nearly one hundred and three millions
of this amount were drawn out during
that amount being about sixty-nine
.millions, was drawn out during the fol
lowing two months, thus indicating a
marked acceleration of the depleting pro
cess with the lapse of time. The obUga
tions upon which this gold has been
drawn from the treasury are still out
standing and are available for use Is re
peating the exhausting operation with
shorter intervals as our perplexities ac
cumulate. Conditions are certainly super
veiling tending to make the bonds which
may be issued to replenish our gold less
useful for that purpose.
ADEQUATE GOLD RESERVE NECESSARY.
An adequute gold reserve Is, in all
circumstances, absolutely essential to
the upholding of our public credit, and
to the maintenence of our high national
character. Our gold reserve has reached
such a state of diminution as to require
its speedy reinforcement.
The aggravaiions that must inevita¬
bly follow the present conditions and
methods will certainly lead to misfortune
and loss not only to our national credit
and prosperiiy and financial enterprise
but to those of our people who seek em¬
ployment as a means of livelihood, and
to those whose capital is their daily
labor.
It will hardly do to say that a simple,'
increase of revenue will cure our troubles
with the apprehension now existing and
constantly increasing as to our financial
ability does not rest upon a calculation
of new revenue.
The tim e has passed when the eyes of
investors abroad and ourpeople at home
were fixed upon the revenues of the gov
eminent. Changed conditions have at
tracted their attention to the gold of
the government. There need be no fear
that we cannot pay our current expenses
with such money as we have. There is
now in the treasury a comfortable sur¬
plus of more than $63,000,000, but it
is not in gold and therefore does not
meet our difficulty.
SILVER NOT THE ISSUE.
1 cannot see that differences of opinion
concerning th. ..tent to which silver
ou ght to be coined or used in our cur
- ,acy, should interfere with the counsels
^ « ls to «*** * vilB
ao ' v a P pareat In our financial situation
They have to consider the question of
national credit and the consequences that
w T ill follow from its collapse.
Whatever ideas may be insisted upon
as to silver or bimetalism, the proper so
lution of the question now pressing upon
us only requires a recognition of gold aa
w r ell as silver and a concession of Its im
portance, rightfully or wrongfully acquir¬
ed, as a basis of national credit, a neces¬
sity of an honorable discharge of our ob¬
ligations payable in gold and a badge of
solvency.
WHAT FRIENDS OF SILVER DEMAND.
I do not understand that the real
friends of silver desire a condition that
might follow inaction, or neglect to ap¬
preciate the meaning of the present ex¬
igency, if it should result in the en¬
tire banishment of gold from
our financial and currency
arrangements. Besides treasury notes
which certainly should be paid in gold,
amounting to nearly 500,000,000 of
dollars, there will fall due in 1904 one
hundred millions of bonds, issued during
the last year for which we have received
gold, and in 1907 nearly 600,000,000 of
4 per cent bonds issued in 1877. Shall the
payment of these obligations in
gold be repudiated? If they are to be paid
in such a manner as the preservation of
our national honor and national sol¬
vency demands, tve should not destroy
or even imperil our ability to supply our¬
selves with gold for this purpose.
NOT UNFRIENDLY TO SILVER.
While I am not unfriendly to silver,
and w'hile I desire to see it
recognized to such an extent as is consis¬
tent with the financial safety and the
preservation of national honor and
credit, I am not wiling to see gold entire¬
ly’ abolished from our currency and
finances. To avert such a consequence I
believe thorough and radical remedial
legislation should be prornp ly passed.
I therefore asked congress to give the
subject Immediate Attention.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.
In my opinion the secretary of the treas¬
ury should be authorized to issue bonds
of the government forthe purpose of pro¬
curing and maintaining a sufficient gold
reserve and for the redemption and can¬
cellation of the United States legal tender
notes and the treasury notes issued for
the purchase of silver under the law of
June 14th, 1890. We should be reliev¬
ed from the humiliating process
Cjf issuing bonds to procure gold to be
immediately and repeatedly drawn out
on these obligations for purposes not re¬
lated to our government or our people.
The principal and interest of these
bonds should be payable on their face in
gold, because they should be sold only
for gold or its representative, and be¬
cause there would now be difficulty in
favorably’ disposing of bonds not con¬
taining thie stipulation.
HONDS OF SMALL DENOMINATIONS.
I suggest that the bonds be issued in
fifty dol- 1
denominations of twenty and ,
lars, and their multiples, and that they
bear interest at a rate not exceeding o
per cent per annum, I do not see why
thev should not be payable fifty years
from their date. We of the present gen
eration have laige amoan . we

j IMPORTS PAYABLE IN GOLD.
j As a constant means for the mainten
ance of a reasonable supply of gold in
the treasury our duties on imports should
be paid in all gold, allowing all other
dues to the government to be paid in any
■
other form of money.
j I believe all the provisions I have sug¬
gested should be embodied in our laws if
we are to enjoy a complete reinstate¬
ment on a sound financial condition.
They need not interfere with any currency
eehem e provided for the increase of the
circulating medium, through the agency
of national or state banks, since they can
easily be adjusted to such a scheme.
BONDS TO RETIRE LEGAL TENDERS.
Objection has been made to the is¬
suance of interst bearing bonds for the
purpose of retiring the interest bearing
legal tender notes. In point of fact, how¬
| ever, these notes have burdened us with
| a large load of interest and it is still ac
! cumulating. The aggregate interest
; on the original issue of bonds, the pro
ceeds of which in gold constituted the re
serve for the payment of t lese notes
amounled to $70,326,250 on January 1,
1895, and the annual charge for interest
on these bonds, and those issued for the
same purpose during the last year will
be $9,145,000 dating from January 1,
1895. While the cancellation of these notes
would not relieve ue from the obligations
already incurred on their account, these
I figures are given by way of suggesting
that their existence has not been free from
interest charges and that the longer they
are outstanding, judging from the ex¬
perience of last year, the more expensive
they will become.
RELUCTANT TO SEE MORE BONDS ISSUED..
In conclusion, I desire frankly to confess
my reinetunee to toning more bonds in
present circumstances, and with no bet
ter results than have lately followed that
course. I cannot, however, refrain from
adding to an assurance of much anxiety,
to co-operate with the present congress
| in any reasonable measure of relief, an
expression of my determination to leave
nothing undone which furnished a hop©
I for improving the situation or checking
' a suspicion of our disinclination or dis
ability to meet with the strictest honor

DENOUNCED AS COWARDS

Steamer Elbe.
Lloyd’s agent at Lowestoft has re¬
ceived the following telegram:
< i The queen is greatly distressed at
the terrible disaster to the steamship
Elbe and will be glad to know the
conditions of the rescued ones and to
be informed if there may be other
survivors. IJ
To this message the agent replied:
“Survivors of the Elbe are sincerely
grateful for her majesty’s kind inquiry
as to their condition. All of them are
able to start for London today. I fear
there is no hope now that any more
have been saved. ■
The surviving steerage passengers
started for London this afternoon. Up
to 2:30 o’clock p. m. no bodies or
wreckage had been found by the
searchers.
Severe on the Crew.
Tlie Pall Mall Gazelle, in a leading
article on the loss of the Elbe, says:
< t Had the Elbe been apeuny steamer,
packed w T ith holiday makers, we should
say nothing, but what shall w T e say of
the loss of a steamship belonging to
one of the greatest transatlantic lines
where only twenty lives were saved,
fifteen of them being of the crew and
only one w’oman among the total num¬
ber? Even accepting as true the state¬
ments of surviving members of the
crew, w’hy were they scrambling to
port while an attempt was being made
to lower the boat to staiboard? Why
were the women and children sent to
the starboard when the list of the
ship to port made the use of the star¬
board boats impracticable? It is part
of a ceaman’s duty to be drowned in
case of need in trying to save tbe lives
of passengers. * f

The strikers at Brooklyn, N. Y.,
have practically surrendered to the

public was issued by the executive
committee and the men tendered their
services to the presidents for $2 per
day for motormen and conductors and
$1.50 per day for trippers. These
terms have never been in dispute. The
men say that the move is made in the
interest of public safety and quiet and
that the non-acceptance of their offer
will be followed by another specifica¬
tion for peremptory mandamus against
all the lines. The presidents will prob¬
ably adhere to their former position of
refusing to treat with their men id a
body.

Milfc for Babes.
If care is taken in procuring pure
milk from a healthy cow it will answer
every purpose—provided the milk is
kept clean and free from germs. Many
careful housekeepers cannot realize
how very great must be the care exer
cised with milk, It should never be
allowed to stand uncovered, and should
never he used unboiled. Dr. A. Ja¬
cobi, a recognized authority, in a re¬
cent article says, “after having been
boiled, the milk destined for the use
of a baby during the day ought to be
kept in clean bottles, containing from
three to six ounces, up to the cork,
and the bottles turned upside down
and preserved in a cold place, Such a
bottle will keep longer than milk pre¬
served in the usual way. Before being
used, it ought to be heated in a water
bath. By repeating this heating of
the whole amount of the day’s milk
several times during the twenty-four
hours, fermentation will be retarded,
and digestibility improved.TFb

A BRIGHT STAR,
A SKETCH OF THE MAN V/HO LED
MARY ANDERSON TO FAME.
Also Played Lending Roles With Rooth,
liarrett and Thorne.
(From the St. Louis Chronicle .)
One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John W. Nor¬
ton. Bom in the seventh ward of New York
City forty-s : x years ago, the friends of his
youth were Thomas W. Keene and Frank
Chanfrau. We find Keene a star at the age
of 25 and Norton in the flower of early man¬
hood the leading man for Edwin Booth at
the famous Winter Garden Theatre. Ha
was starred with Lawrence Barrett early in
the 70s, and alternated the leading roles
with Charles Thorne at the Variety Theatre
in New Orleans. Early in the Centennial
year, in Louisville, Norton met oar Mary
Anderson, then a fair young girl who aspired
for stage fame, took her under his guidance
and, as everybody knows, led her to fame.
Mr. Norton is now the proprietor of the
Grand Opera House in St. Louis, the Du
Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg, and one of the
stockholders in the American Extravaganza
Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic suf¬
ferer for two years. Norton was surprised
that McManus had discarded his eane. Who
cured you? he asked. “I cured myself,” re¬
plied McManus, “with Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills.”
U I was encouraged by Mr. McManus’ cure
and as u last resort tried the Pink Pills my¬
self,” said Mr. Norton to a Chronicle re¬
porter. “You have known me ior five years
and ing know how I have suffered. Why,” dur¬
the summer of 1893 I was on my back at
the Mullanphy Hospital, in this city, four
weeks. I was put on the old system of diet¬
ing, with a view to clearing-those acidulous
properties in my blood that medical theorists
say is the cause of my rheumatism. I left
the Hospital feeling stronger, but the first
damp weather brought with it those excru¬
ciating pains in the legs and back. It was
the same old trouble. After sitting down
for a stretch of fl^o minutes the pains
screwed my legs into a knot when I arose,
and I hobbled as painfully as ever. After I
had taken my first box of Pink Pilis it struck
me that the pains W6re Jess troublesome. I
tried another box, and I began almost un¬
I consciously Improved to have faith in the Pink Pills.
sitting so rapidly that I could rise after
at my desk ior an hour and the
twinges of rheumatism that accompanied my
rising were so mild that I scarcely noticed
them. During the past two weeks wo have
had much rainy weather in St. Louis. But
the dampness has not had the slightest effect
in bringing back the rheumatism, whieh I
consider a sufficient and reliable test of the
efficacy of Pink Pills. I may also say that
tho Pink Pills have acted as a tonic on my
stomach, which I thought was well nigh de¬
stroyed by the thousand and one alleged
remedies I consumed in the past five years. 1*
