THE PRES I DENT'S MESSAGE
What He Says about the Tariff,
Cwtsboj and Income Tax.
Congress met Monday and the
President’s message was read. The
message is lengthy and deals with
many different "tatters. The presi
dent urges'* reduction in the tariffs
along the line laid down by the com
miltoe.
The following are his txafc words
on tha silver question and the income
tax:
The Sba-mau Law Repeal.
The recent repaal ef the provision
of law requiring the the purchase of
silver bullion by the government as a
feature of our monetary scheme has
made an entire change in the com
plexion of our currency affairs. Ido
not doubt that the ultimate result- of
this action wHI be most salutary and
far-reaching.
In the nature of things, however, it
is impossible to know at this time pre
cisely what conditions will be brought
about by the change, or what, if any
supplementary legislation may, in the
light of such conditions, appear to be
ceaential or expedient.
Of course, after the recent pertuba
tion, time is necessary for the re-os
tablishmcut of business confidence.
Wheu, however, through this restored
confidence, the money which has been
frightened into hoarding plant's is re
turned to trade and entei prise, a sur
rey of the situation will probably ills
dose a safe path leading to a pernia.
mntly sound currency abundantly suf
ficient to meet every requirement of
our increasing population and busi
ness.
In the pursuit of lb's Object >ve
should resolutely turn away term all
alluring and temporary expedients,
determined to be content with noth
ing less than a lasting and compre
hensive financial plan.
In these circumstances I am eotv
vineed that a reasonably delay in deal
ing with this subject, instead of being
injurious, will increase the the proba
bility of wise action.
The monetary conference which as
sera bled at Brussel upon our invita
tion, was adjourned to the 30th day
of November in the presant year.
The consideration just stated, and
the fact that a definite proposition
from us seemed to be expected upon
the reassembling of the conference
Led me to express a willingness to
have the meeting still further post
poned. It seems to me tin tit w ould
be wise to give general authority to
the president to invite other nations
to such a conference at. any time
when there should be a fair prospect
of accomplishing an international
agreement on the subject or coin
age.
I desire also to earnestly suggest
the wisdom of amending the existing
statutes in regard to issuance of
government bonds.
The authority now vested in the
secretary of the treasury to i*sue
bonds is not as clear as it should be,
and the bunds authorized are disad
vantagcoa to the government, both as
to the time of their maturity and rate
of interest.
About an Income Tax.
The committee, after full consid
eration, and to provide against a
temporary deficiency which may exist
before the business of the country
adjusts itself to the new tariff sched
ules, have wisely embraced in tbeir
schedule a few additional internal
revenue taxes, including a small tax
upon income derived from certain
corporate investments-
These new assessments are not
only absolutely jost and easily borne,
but they have the further merit of
being such as can be remitted with
out unfavorable business disturbance
whenever -the necessity for their im
position no longer exists.
In my great desire for the success
"Arf this measure I cannot restrain the
suggestion that its success can only
be attained by mcam of unselfish
counsel on the part of tariff reform,
HENRY BRBWSTKR,
Editor and Proprietor.
and as a result of their willingftess
to subordinate personal desires and
ambitions to the general good. The
local interests affected by the pro
posed reform are so uumerous and
so varied that if all are insisted npon
the legislation embodying the reform
majsf inevitably fail.
In conclusion, my intense feeling
of responsibility impels me to invoke
for the manifold interests of a gener
ous and confiding people the most
scrupulous eare, and to pledge my
willing support to eveiy legislative
effort tor the advancement of the
greatuess and prosperity of our coun
try. Grover Cleveland.
