WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1SP0.
Congre The President's Mes
sage. The second session of the fifty-first
Congress convened on MooJay at
Ooon, and immediately proceeded to
business. Among the very first acts
was that of a Democrat who Intro
duced a bill to cripple Ibe new tariff
bill. It is safe to say, however, that
tbat measure will not become a law at
lb' session. Tbe President's Mefsage
waj read and attentively listened to
throughout The document is pro
bounced by many to be the ablest
state paper presented to Congress fur
many years. The Pittsburgh Cow.
Gazette thus reviews it:
No one can peruse the message
which President Harrison transmitted
to Congress yesterday without gather
ing from it much information of a
gratifying and assuring character.
Passing over all cattera bearing upon
our relations with foreign Nations, and
coming to those of a domestic nature,
we find the National finances in a
very satisfactory condition. The sil
ver act has been disappointing in the
fluctuating price of tbat metal, but
tbe hope is entertained that some
months of further trial will demon
strate its capacity to bring the value
of the two metals closer together.
There has been a gratifying increase
in the money circulation, but a small
proportion of which is due to silver
legislation.
Tbat there bas been a marked im
provement during the year in the ag
ricultural industries is apparent from
the figures furnished by tbe Secretary
of Agriculture. The advances in the
prices of wheat, corn, oats, meats and
other products bave been most sub
stantial, and the exportation of cat
tle and hog, beef, pork and poultry,
have been largely increased. In a
word, there bas been a marked im
provement in the general trade and
industrial conditions of the country
during the past year. The balance of
foreign trade is again in our favor,
and tbe bank clearings show that the
increase in the volume of business
Was very general throughout the
country. Tbe value of domestic ex
ports exceeded those of tbe preceding
year by 8115,000,000, and about $100,
000,000 of this excess was in agricul
tural products. Labor is everywhere
fully employed, strikes and lockouts
are diminishing in numbers, the de
pression in agriculture has been great
ly relieved, and an abundant and
bopeful tone was prevailing when tbe
foreign money stringency developed
aod made its influence felt here. The
President expresses the belief tbat the
disturbance will be of short duration,
being unable to withstand "the strong,
safe and wholesome influences which
are operating to give the people profit
able returns in all branches of legiti
mate trade aod industry."
Tbe effects of the new tariff are dis
cussed in a frank and sensible manner.
"Tbere is neither wisdom nor justice,"
says tbe President, "in the suggestion
that the subject of tariff rev.siao shall
be opened before tbis law bas had a
fair trial." While the law is not de
fended as faultless in every respect,
the President believes "in its general
cope aod effect it will justify the sup
port of those who believe tbat Ameri
can legislation should conserve and
defend American trade and the wages
of American workmen." Time will
correct the misinformation so widely
disseminated at home and abroad re
specting iu effects. Already the re
ports of our custom bouses are dis
proving the charge tbat certain duties
are prohibitory. Tbe imports at New
York for the first three weeks of No
vember were nearly 8 per cent, greater
than for tbe same period in 1889, or
29 per cent, greater than in the same
period in 1888.
Tbe President bas a good word for
reciprocity and anticipates great re
suits from tbe reciprocity clause in the
new tariff bill. It is a distinct and
defiuite offer of free entry to our ports
of specific articles. When tbe coun
tries which send us sugar, coffee, tea
and bides have placed on their free
lists such of our products as shall be
agreed upon as an equivalent tor our
concession a proclamation to tbat ef
fect completes the transaction and in
the meantime our people have tea,
coffee, sugar and hides free of duty.
Congress is admonished of tbe duty
and importance of passing certuin
measures, among them those relating
to the development of American
steamship lines ; tbe incorporation of
at international American Bank; the
bill for tbe relief of the Supreme
Court of the United Rtates; a Nation
al bankrupt law ; tbe engrafting of a
postal telegraph system upon the mail
service, and some other bilk of miuor
importance. Last, but not least in
importance, is tbe potent argumeut in
Invor of the passage of a Federal
Election law, which, while being ab
solutely non partisan and impartial.
will make free and safo tbe path of the
elector to the ballot-box and tho
count so true and open tbat none can
gainsay it.
The document throughout is calm
and dignified in manner, hopeful aud
patriotic in tone, aod cannot fail to
exert an assuring and strengthening
influence among all classes. It is ar
dently to be hoped that Congress will
be able to accomplish the important
worn committed to its bands within
the limited time at its disposal.
In Free Trade England, where the
llest-iugs of direct taxation prevail, a
man caonot keep a dog cart, light ve
hicle or carriage without a license. A
countryman who drove bis wife to
market in farmers' cart in order that
she might mind the horse while he was
attending to business was recently
summoned before a Magistrate on the
charge of "keeping a carriage without
a license." The astute Magistrate de
cided that the poor countryman had
no right to drive his wife about and
tbat by such use the cart became a
carriage under the law, and was liable
to taxation. This is the system which
the farmers of America are akt?d to
adopt.
The hob nobbing of prominct Tara
many Hall men with the Maryland
Democrats bodes no good to the Clef e
land boom. Senator Gorman is known
to be opposed to the nomination of the
ex President, and it looks very much
like he had firmed an alliance wiih
tho Tammanjites, who are fir Hill.
Senator Barbour, of Virginia, who is
credited with being able to cootrnl his
State's delegation to the next National
Democratic convention, says that, in
bis opinion, Mr. Cleveland ought not
to be nominated. Against there sig
nificant movements among the practi
cal politicians, Mr. Cleveland has so
far nothing to put, except the enthu
siastic endorsement of Iit-prcsentntives
Mills and Springer, both of whom are
expecting aid from him in their fight
for tbe Speakership of tbe next House
of Representatives. Mr. Cleveland
may receive the Democratic nomina
tion in 1892 we hope he will rather
beat him than anybody else but it is
already evident tbat he and his friends
will bave to fight hard for it, and it is
not certain tbat even the hardest of
fighting will get it for him.
The Democrats of this State, not
having much else to do just now, have
lallen into a discussion about a pnrli.
date for United States Senator. There
are eighty some Democratic members
ot the .Legislature who will, of course,
veto for somebody, and while they will
elect no ooe the compliment is regard
ed as worth having. In 1881, at the
close of Mr. Wallace's term in the
Senate, be was naturally voted for by
tbe minority. Any otber action would
have been an indignity to him. He
was again complimented iu 1885, being
at tbat time a member of the State
Senate. In 1887 Senator Wolverlon
was made the Democratic caucus nom
inee. As it was on all sides conceded
tbat if uny accident bad given the
Democrats the Legislature this time
Mr. Wallace would have secured the
Senatorship, it has generally been sup
posed be would receive whatever com
pliment is implied in the vote of the
uemocrano memoers. tiut within a
few days the friends of ex-Lieutenant
Governor Black bave been showiug
what an appropriate thing it would I e
to make bitu the Senatorial candidate.
As ho has fallen outside the breast
works, and this is the only thing with
in immediate reach, the suggestion has
proved so popular that it is altogether
likely to take hold.
Ready to Swallow the Alliance.
The large vote Dolled bv the Farm
ers' Alliance in the Western Stntes has
awakened a deBire among Democrats
to absorb this organization into their
party. One open proposition to this
effect has already been mado by J.
Sterling Morton, the well knowu Free
trader or Nebraska. In a letter to
tbe Omaha World he suggests a union
convention, to be held in Lincoln.
Neb., on Jackson's day, January 8, to
perfect a combination between the
Alliance and tbe Democracy.
Ibere is nothing unnatural in an
effort to this end being made by tbe
Democratic party. That party bas
always stood leady to gather within
its fold any "ism," however chimerical
or objectionable it might be, so lung as
it brought votes alone uiili it Ti
allied itself with (he curse of slavcrv
aod continued to defend the evil until
that institution disappeared in tbe
blood and flume of war. Wbea tbe
Greenback craze swept over the coun-
. .1. - lA . . .
irjr uie democracy mougtit it saw
voies in me delusion, and it was mad
in its eagerness to surrender its few
principles aod make a combination
wun tne new party, bo now the Dem
ocratio party carts uothing for the
real or imaginary wrongs of the farm
ers, but it thiuks it sees Congressmen,
uoveroors, and i'resideuts galore in
the Alliance vote, and it is ready to
swap it principles fir this vote if the
farmers can be iuduced to make the
trade.
Iu the case of Nehrnska, however,
the Farmers' Alliance does not appear
lo he in a mood to make the trade. It
bas begun a contest against the Dem
ocrats for the Governorship of that
State, and as it has entire control of
the Legislature the outlook is not very
satisfactory to the Democrats. Tbey
see a chance of losing a Governorship
and, what is of much more momeut,
an autagiinism to the Democracy
which budis no good fur a future union
between the two parties. Western
JJeruocralio pipers are consequently
trying to plead with tbe Alliance and
persuade it to withdraw from the cou
test in Nebraska. It is au unexpected
dush of cold water on the hopes of the
Democracy.
If the Farmers' Alliance wants to
combine with tbe Democratic party it
need only wait and concede nothing,
aod iu little while tbe Democracy
will march, body aud soul, iuto tbe
Alliance camp. I'hila. iVess.
