Selectman Raymond thinks the mes-
sage. so far as it relates to the silver‘
questions; fair and dignified exposition,
and shows President Cleveland to be
what “reamed-.10: him during his
previous adrhinistratidn, . “ a great deal
better than his party. "’ But the Presi-
3 dent, in this message, reminds our agri-
cultural Sel‘ectman of his brindle cow.
The animal is a superior cream _and
butter reservoir, and will stand quietly
to be milked, down to the last ‘strip-
ping,’ when the-beast is sure to kick
over ' the pail and spill all the milk.
Had the President kept out his free
trade heresy at the clOse of the mes.
sage, and kept to the silver question, it-
v'muld have had a good effect on the
country. As it is, all business is more
frightened than ever, and no confidence
can be restored with this threat to rip
up the tariff menacing us.
Attorney George A.Honnecker thinks
the message a chart of safety, which
puts to shame the calamity howlers. It
probes the national'wound to the core
and is unanswerable. It calls a halt on
dishonest money, and justly assumes
that until we shall have an honest and
impregnable financial system there can
be no business confidence and no com-
mercial prosperity. All legitimate busi-
ness will be at once steadied by the
calm and patriotic utterance of the
President, and the clouds which now
hang so darkly over every enterprise
will begin to give way before the wel-
dent, that “it is a condition- and not a
theory} that confronts us.” It .isn’t
panic. but a paralysis that now demor-
alizes the finances and business of the
country. The President’s message has
had no good efi'ect on the financial sit-
uation, and has only still further: de-
pressed all manufacturing business by
his menace of tarifi' tinkering.
Burgess Squire says “no man is per-
fect, no not one,” but the message is
all right, and if the Democrats will
only stand byDlevelund, everything is
going to come : out right. He has had
so much Worry over _the Borough sew-
ers and ,thehighways since Fillow went
west. that he has‘hadmo time for seri-
one thought about anything else. He
is for Cleveland, Democracy and “a
tarifl' for revenue only.”
Collector Geo. B. St. John says if any
one doubts that the “change” voted for .
lastgfall has come, let him try and col-
lect ”arrearages of taxes." Nor has
the President’s message undo the ”same
a bit more promptly forthcoming. His
official duties give him a‘ chance to see
and know that the financial conditions
are, exceptionally hard.
~Water Commissioner 'Mead thinks
the President fully capable of manag-
ing his Democratic Congress and the
Democratic country and that he will”
bring prosperity out of our present ad-
versity. The message is plain and di-
rect and just Suits him.
Burgess William .McMullin says he
don’t want to talk to reporters anyway.
They don’t treat him fairly. ' They
publish all'th'e bad expressions he uses.
before the Court of Burgesses, but
few of the good ones, and never print
all he saysffle don’t care a dom about
the President’s message. He is no
navigator and knows nothing about A
the currents or current-0y. He don’t
bother himself about Senator 'Sher-
man’s bill, but he pays all his own bills.
He’s “always paid a hundred cents on
a dollar, and that’s more than all thim
Court of Burgesses has done.” He’s
.told everyone that “they are all thaves
00m," sunlight 0‘ renewed how and and robbers, and arn’t they now some
energy. It is a message of deliverance
to a sorely distressed nation, and it
will reinspire faith in, our'country and.
in our people in every civilization in
the world. Light breaks at last, and
Congress should (promptly respond. to
the appeal'of the“President. He rightly"
says that ”this matter rises above the
plane of party politics.” It is his-
opinion that‘the intelligent American
people willall endorse this statement.
In the tarifi' reform. reference, the
President shows his cOurage. He carried
the election last fall triumphantly on
the platform of a repeal of the “robber-
tariif.” Why ,should I, or any other
man, have to pay five dollars more for
. a suit of clothes,- because 'of a tariff
tax to enlarge the manufacturer’s pro:
fits. This is class legislation. It may
_ be hard to get down‘to lower prices,
but when once there, prosperity will:
be on sure foundations. The true Denna
ocratic,doctrine is “a tarifi‘ for revenue
only,” as distinctly enunciated in par
national platform. On the tariff the
message is all that the friends of reveg
nus reform could desire or ask. : It re-
moves any doubt as to Mr. Cleveland’s
_ position and intentions. '
Cashier W. A. Curtis cannotsee in
what way the message has ‘s‘teadied’
the money market. If any one thinks .
it has, let him go to New York- and try.
to get currency. His concluding threat
of a repeal of the McKinley: tariff can
have no other effect on manufacturing
and business, than to still further in-
crease the general distrust, uncertainty-
and cessation of work. To Congress
alone can the country look for better
conditions.
Chief Dann says he has’nt had time
to read the message; has only heard it
discussed; hasn’t thought about it.
Hopes it will make times better and."
set the crowd of idlers about the Bridge
to work again, as they were last fall.
So far as the message has had any efi'ect
in the Bdrough, he can only say that he
has made double the number of arrests
since its issuance, that he did ;for a
' whole month before.- He thinks a good
many must have gotten ‘ spiritually’
excited over it. ' j ‘ .
Conductor John Lockwood can’t see
that the message had any marked efiect
on his route between the Bridge and
Winnipauk, and he has been nowhere
' else. The mills were all a-humming up
to election last fall, now everything
seems dead. He knows that much, tho’
he don’t pretend to say what has’
wrought the terrible change. '
Ex-Sherifi' Swartz thinks the hard
. times had to come. The Republicans.

crats have had, no chance yet to legis-

Cashier Green thinks the President
in grave error in attributing the present
financial stringency and business de-
pression to a. fear engendered. by the
.Sherman law. That act was in full op-
eration for three years and no trouble
arose until'within‘the past few months.
It can not be true that the people of
this” country enjoyed three of the most
prosperous years in their history, un-
der that law, only to wake up suddenly
now and discover that they stand in
deadly fear of it. Yet every one seems
as afraid of any monetary transaction
as they would, 'of an infected cholera
ship. ' Currency could not be scarcer
had an earthquake opened and swallow
ed all the bank bills up. '
Ex-Burgess George I. Buxton says :
Business stands still and goes back;
ward because it is afraid to advance
into the chasm of uncertainty. Every
manufacturer studied the McKinley
tariff schedule. He did not examine
the Sherman law. That can stand or
be repealed and not hurt » him, but let
the tarifi' be touched and it hits him
every time, and he fears it will take his
life’s blood. The way to start-business,
open closed factory doors and fill idle
mills with prosperous workers again is
to promise the tariff shall not be
changed. Until this pledge is given,
no one will invite ruin by going ahead
and producing goods that are sure to be
undersold by cheaper goods from Eu-
rope, let in by the threatened lower
tarifi'._ Cleveland’s declaration that the
party tariff reduction pledges must be
kept, leaves the preSent stringency to
" grow worse.
Attorneys Walsh and Gray : Walsh——
Brother Gray and I haven’t read the
message, but we could fix up all this
fuss about hard democratic times in
ten. minutes if Gray would cutoff his
sarcastic irrelevancy and stick to the
subject under consideration. Gray—
The trouble with Walsh is, he wants
the lust say and I won’t have it. Hard
times always help the lawyers and so
'Walsh and I are’nt kicking about the
times or the message. ‘ '
' Postmaster Adams,» “Yes, I have read
the message, but do not agree with the
Presidentthat silver is the'cause of all
the trouble." The tariff is at. the hot:

--A ”Correction.
The article published in the GAZETTE
on onday, ' headed, “Served him
Right,” was notonly unealled for, but
inaccurate. I did deposit. in the Fair-
field County Bank. a check for $662. 33,
drawn on a New York bank. Thede-
posit was made, as stated because the
bank dechned to cash-the check, as
it was not drawn. upon the‘local bank.
On thevnext day, as soon as theka
was opened, I called there to get the
check back’, as I found that I could use
the check as conveniently as .1 could
use the money, but the to or informed
me that he had already forwarded .the
check to New York, .for collection.
After some conversation, the teller,
who has always been very obh ng,
then said-to me, “you draw your c eck
fo the whole amount and- I w111 pay
you the money.” I drew a check pay-,
able to Milton Warren Hopeya frien
of mine, who went to the bank with
Mr. IsaacLee, who identified him, and .
the aid him the money in silver. .

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.,—'1'he actibn of the
St. Nicholas bank in refusing to" clear for
the Madison SQuare bank and the posting
of a notice that the latter institution was
temporarily closed had the eflect’of bring-j
ing a crowd before its doors.
The crowd was composed mainly of small.
depositors. The large depositors, it . was
stated, had full confidence in the bank. _
About '11. o’clock something occurred
that had the efléct of sendin'gmoat of the.
depositors away. .__~ It was the appearance, of
Mr. Harris Goldstein, son of Isaac Gold-
atein, the millionaire coal dealer. Mr.
Goldstein is not adirector, but the firm is
a large depositors He talked-a few min-
‘utes with the depositors, declaring that
his father had authorized him to say that
he would bond himself in $300,000 to pay
all depositors. He said that he did this be-
cause he was a friend of President Blunt . 7
and was confident that the affairs of the
bank were all right. -
Ten minutes after Mr. Goldstein had .
thus eased the troubled. waters the janitor
of the bank appeared and stated that one
of the directors was on hand with 640,000
and was prepared to settle with the depos-
itors on the spot on the basis of 90' cents on.»
the dollar. If they were willing to wait,
every cent would be paid. N 0 one took
up the ofier of immediate settlement. ‘ _ '

The New York banks have inaugurated-
anew policy toward their country corre- ‘
pondents. These banks have generally
obtained accommodations, but now that
the hard times have come'on they refuse
to remit for their loans and overdrafts,
urging as an excuse that they must hold
on to their cash. The New York bank
presidents have in a measure evened this
up by charging the out of town banks 12
per cent on their loans and credits.

in the morning, brought £360,000 gold. .- A
