BLAND BILL VETOED. Message From the President on the Seigniorage Coinage Bill The Manure Returned to Congress Die* approved—The Grounds for the Treaident’* Action Stated In a Comprehensive Form.. Washington, March 29.—The following is the full text of the president’s message vetoing the Bland seigniorage bill: To the House or Representatives—I retjrn without my approval house bill No. 49.MJ. entitled "An not directing the coinage of the silver bullion held in the treasury and for other purposes.” My strong desire to avoid disagreement with those in both houses of congress who have supported this bill, would lead me, to approve it If I could believe that the public good would not l>c ttiereby endangered and that such action on my part would be a proper discharge of official duty. Inasmuch, however, as I am unable to satisfy myself that the proposed legislation rs either wise or opportune, my conception of the obligations ar.d responsibilities attached to the great office I hold fo-bids the indulgence of my personal desire, and inexorably confines me to ‘that course wblob is dictated by my reason and judgment, and pointed out by a sincere purpose to protect and promote the general interests of our people. The financial disturbance' which swept over the country during the last year v.as unparalleled in its severity and disastrous consequences. There seemed to be almost an entire displacement of faith in our financial ability and a loss of confidence iu our fiscal poli. y. Among those who attempted to assign causes lor our distress it was very geneially conceded that the operation of a provision of law then iu force, which required the government to purchase monthly a large amount of

silver bullion and issue its notes in payment therefor, was either entirely, or to a large extent. responsible for our condition. This led to the repeal, on tho first day of November, 18911. of this statutory pro vision. We had, however, fallen so low in the j depths of depression, and. timidity and apprehension had so completely gained control in financial circles, that our rapid recuperation could not bo reasonably expected. Our recovery has nevertheless, steadily progressed, and though less than live months have elapsed since the repeal of the mischievous silver-purchase requirement, a wholesome improvement is unmistakti bly apparent. Confidence in our absolute solvency is to such an extent reinstated, and faith in our disposition to adhere to sound financial methods is so far restored as to produce the most encouraging results loth at home and abroad. The wheels of domestic industry have been slowly set in motion and the tide of foreign investment has again sti rted in our direction. Our recovery being sc well under way, nothing should be done to check our convalescence: nor should we forget that a relapse at this time would almost sursly reduce us to a lower stage of finau- * cial distress than that from which we are ju3t emerging. 1 believe that if the bill under consideration should become a law it would be regarded as a retrogression from the financial intentions indicated by our recent repeal of the provision forcing silver bullion purchases: that it would weaken, if it did not destroy, returning faith and confidence in our sound Ur uncial tendencies, and that as a consequence our progress to renewed business health would be unfortunately checked and a return tc our rccept distressing plight seriously thieatened. This proposed legislation is so rela ed to the currency conditions growing out oi the law compelling the Dureha.se of silver by the government, that a glance at such coniitions. and a partial review of the law refer -ed*to may not be unprofitable. Uetwee 1 the Hth day of August, 1890, when the law became operative, and the 1st day of November. 1893, when the clause it contained directing the purchase of silver, was repealed, there were purchased by the secretary of the treasury more than 168,(MM.OOO ounces of silver tuition. In payment for this bullion the government issued it treasury notes of various denominations, amounting to nearly $156,000.00), which notes were immediately added to 1 he currency in circulation among our people. . Such notes were by the law made legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except when otherwise expressly stipulated. and were made receivable tor customs, taxes and all public dues, and when so receiveu might be tissued. They were also permitted to be held by banking associations as a part of their lawful reserves- On the demand of the holders these treasury notes were to be redeemed n gold or silver coin In the discretion of the secretary of the treasury; but it was declared as a‘part of this red tmption provision that it was “the estal lished policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each othe$ upc n the present legal ratio, or such ratio as in »y be provided by law.” The moiiey coined from*such bullion was to be standaid silver dollars, and after directing the immediate coinage of a little less than 28. UU0.0J0 ounces the law provided that as much of the remaining bullion should he thereafter coined as. might be necessary to provide for the redem >tion of the treasury notes issued on Its purcha >e. and that "any gain or seigniorage arising from such coinage shall be accounted for and pa d into the treasury.” This gain or seigniorage evidently indicates so much cf the bullion owned by the government as should remain, after using a sufficient amount to coin as many standard silver dollars as should equal in number the dollars represented by the - treasury notes issued in payment of the entire quantity of bullion. These treasury mtes-.now outstanding and in circulation amount to $152,951,280, and although there has been thus fur but a comparatively small amount of this bullion coined, yet tne so-called gain or st igniorage. as above defined, which wouM arise from the coinage of the entire mass, has been easily ascertained to be a I

quariuiv tPi LHiimm ouuiuuiu luatvc. when coined. 55.156.631 standard silver dollars. Considering the present intrinsic relation between gold aud silver the maintenance of the parity between the two metals, as mentioned in this lav , can mean nothing less than the maintenance of such a parity in the estimation aud confidence of the people who use our money in t teir daily transactions. Manifestly the maintenance of this parity can only be accomplished so far as it is affected by these treasury cotes, and in the estimation of the holders of he same, by giving to such holders, on their ridemption. the coir., whether It is gold or silver, which they prefer. It follows that while in terms the law leaves the choi ee of coin to be paid on such redemption to the discretion of the secretary or the treasury, the exercise of this dist retion. if opposed to the demands of the holder, is entirely inconsistent with the effective stid beneficial maintenance of the parity between the two metals. U both ; told and silver arc to serve us os money, am if they together are to supply to our people a safe and stable currency, tuc necessity of preserving this parity is obvious. Such necei sity has been repeatedly conceded in the plat arms of both political parties and in our federal statutes. It is nowhere more emphatica ly recognized than in the recent law which -epealed the provision under which the bullion now on hand was purchased. This law insists upon the -maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals and the equal powt r of every doliar at alt times in the markets at d in the payment of debts.’’ The seer ;tary of the treasury has therefore, for the bes; of reasons, not only promptly complied with jvery demand for the redemption of these treat ury notes in gold, but the present situation, i s well as the letter and spirit of the law apoeai plainly to justify, if they do not enjoin upon 1 im. a continuation of such redemption. The conditions I have endeavored to present mi y be thus summarized: First—fiv m government has purchased, and now has o i hand, sufficient silver bullion to permit the coinage of all the silver dollars necessary o redeem, in such dollars, the treasury notes i sued for the purchasoof said silver bullion, an l enough besides to coin, as a gam or seignio age, 55,156,681 additional stanuard silver dolli rs. Second— There are outstanding and now in circulation treasury notes issued in payment of the bullioi purchased amounting to $152,H5i.26o Thesi notes are legal tender in payment of all debt;. public and private, except when otherwise expressly stipulated; they are receiveable Tor customs, taxes and all public dues; whei held by banking associations they may be c< unted as part of their lawful reserves. am they are redeemed by the government in g old at the option of the holders. Those advantageous attributes were deliberately attar ied to these notes at the time of their ifoiffi they are fully understood I y our people to whom such notes have been distributed a i currency, and have inspired confidence m 1 heir safety and value, aud havp undoubtedly thus iudueed their continued and contented tse as money, instead of anxiety for their rede: aption* , , . 4 , . . . Having eferred to some incidents which 1 deem reldi ant to the subject, it remains for me to submit: specific statement of my objections to the bill iow under consideration. This bill consists of two sections, excluding one which merely appropriates a sum sufficient , to carry tfe 9-act into effect. The iirst section provides for the immediate coinage o the silver bullion in the treasury which ret resents the sp-coiled gain or seignloiage, or *b!ch would arise front the coinage

or all the bu lion on band, which gain or seism forage this section declares to be 186.156,481. It directs tb it the money so coined, or tne certiorates isat ed thereon, shall be used in the payment of public expenditures, and provides that if the i eeds of the treasury demand it, the secrets -y of the treasury may, in his discretion, i isue silver certificates in excess of such coinass, not exceeding the amount of seigniorage in said section authorized to be coined. ^ The secoi ejection directs that so soon as possible aft a the coinage of this seigniorage the remaind er of the bullion held by the government shall be .coined into legal-tender standard sil rer dollars, and that they shall be held in the treasury for the redemption of the treasury notes issued in the purchase of bullion. It provides that as fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes, they shall be reissued, but shall be canceled and destroyed in amounts equal to the coin hold at any time in the treasury derived from the coinage provided tor. and that silver certificates shall be issued on such coin in the manner now provided by law. It Is, however, especially declared in said section, that the act shall not be construed to change existing laws relating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of the treasury notes issued for the purchase of the silver bullion to be coined. The entire bill is most unfortunately constructed. Nearly every sentence presents uncertainty and invites controversy as to its meaning and intent. The first section is especially faulty in this respect, and it is extremely doubtful whether its language will permit the consummation of its supposed purposes. 1 nailed to believe that the promoters of the bill Intended in this section to provide for the coinage of the bullion constituting the gain or seigniorage, as it is called, into standard dollars; and yet there is positively nothing in the section to prevent its coinage into any description of silver coins now authorized under any existing law. i suppose tais section was also intended, in case the needs of the treasury called for money faster than the seigniorage bullion could actually to coined, to permit the issue of silver certificates in advance of such coinage; but its language would seem to permit the issuance of such certificates to double the amount of the seigniorage as stated, ope-half of'which would not represent an ounce of silver in the treasury The debate upon this sectfOh in the congress developed an earnest and positive difference of opinion as to its object and.tneaning. In any event 1 am clear that the present perplexities and embarrassments or the secretary of the treasury ought not to be augmented by devolving upon him the execution of a law so uncertain and confused tenor. •I am not. however, willing to rest my objection to this section solely on these. In my judgment sound finance does not co&mend a further infusion of silver into our currency at this time unaccompanied by further adequate provision for the maintenance in our treasury of a safe gold reserve. Doubts also arise to the meaning and construction of the second section of the bill. If the silver dollars therein directed to be coined are. as the section provides, to be held in the treasury, for the redemption of treasury notes' it is suggested that, strictly speaking, certificates can not be issued on such coin “in the manner now provided by law,” because these dollars are money held in the treasury for the express purpose of redeeming treasury notes, on demand, which would ordinarily mean tnat they were set apart for the purpose of substituting them for these treasury notes. They are not. therefore, held in such a way as to furnish a basis for certificates according to any provision of existing law. If even silver certificates can be properly issued upon these dollars, there is nothing in the section to indicate the characteristics and functions of these certificates. If they were to be of the, same character as silver certificates in circulation under existing laws they would at least be receivable only for customs, taxes and all public dues; and under the language of this section it is. to

2>i».y tut; l. uauciuuiy uuuuuui wuciuur tut; certiHcates it contemplates would be lawfully received even for such purposes. Whatever else may be said of the uncertainties of expression in this bill, they certainly ought not to be found in legislation affecting subjects so important and far-reaching as our finances and currency. In stating otter and more important reasons for my disapproval of this section I shall, however. assume that under its provisions the treasury notes issued in payment for silver bullion will t ontiuue to be redeemed as heretofore in silver or gold at tho option of the holders: and that if when they are offered tor redemption, or reach the treasury in any other manner, there are in the treasury coined silver dollars equal in nominal value to such treasury notes. then. and in that case, tho notes will be destroyed and silver certificates to an amount be substituted. I am convinced that this scheme is ill-advised and dangerous. As an ultimate restflt of Us operation, treasury notes, which are legal tender for all debts public and private, and which are redeemable in gold or silver, at the option of the holder, will be replaced by silver certificates which, whatever may be their character and declaration, will have none of these qualities. In anticipation of this result, and as an immediate effect, the treasury notes will naturally appreciate in value and desirability. The fact that gold can be realised upon them, and the further fact that their destruction has been decreed when they reach the treasury, must lend to their withdrawal from general circulation to be immediately presented for redemption or to be boarded for presentation at a more convenient season. The sequal of both operations will be a large addition to the silver currency in our circulation and a corresponding reduction of gold in the treasury. The argument has been made that these things will not occur at once tiecause a long time must elapse before the coinage of anything but the seigniorage can be entered upon. If the physical effects of the execution of the second section of this bill are not to be realized until in the far future, this may furnish a strong reason why it should not be passed so much in advance; but the postponement of its actual operation can not prevent the fear and loss of confidence and nervous precaution which would Immediately follow its passage and bring about ns worst consequeu.es. I regard this section of the bill as embodying % plan by which the government will be obliged to pay out its scanty score of gold for no oi her purpose than to force an unnatural addition of silver mouey in the hands of our people This is an exact reversal of the policy which safe finance dictates if w • are to preserve parity between gold and silver and maintain sensible bi-metallism. We have now outstanding more than $33B.000.WM in silver certificates issued under exist-' lag laws. They are serving the purpose or money usefully and without question. Our gold reserve, amounting to only a little mnre than $100,000 000. is directly charged with the redemption of £146.000.000 of United States notes. Wher it is proposed to inflate our shiver currency it is a time for strengthening our gold reserve instead of depleting it. I can not conceive of a longer step toward silver monometallism than we take when we spend our gold to buy silver certificates for circulation, and especially in view of the practical difficulties s irroundiug the replenishment of our gold. This leads me to earnestly present the desirability oi granting to the secretary of the treasury a better power than I now exists to issue bonds to pro- ' tect our gold reserve, when for any reason it shoaid be necessary. Our currency is in such confused condition, and our financial affairs are apt to assume at any time so critical , a position, that It seems to me such a course is dictated by ordinary prudence. Iam not insensible to the arguments in favor of coining th‘ bullion seigniorage now in the treasury, and I believe it could be done safely and with ad' nntage, if the secretary of the treasury had the power to issue bonds at a low rate of interest, under authority, in substitution of that n>w existing, and better suited to the protection of the treasury.

I hope a way will present ltsett in. tne near future for the adjustment of our monetary affairs in such a comprehensive and conservative manner as will accord to silver its proper place in our currency; but in the meantime I am extremely solicitious that whateve action we take on this subject may be such ns to prevent less and discouragement to our people at home and the destruction of confidence in oar financial management abroad.

DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW. After the Loot Right or Brndnce* Depression the Roseate Dawn Again Appear*— The Improvement Not In the Katnre of a Boom. Hut Conservative and Substantial, Being Based Upon Safer and Snre Methods. New York, March 31.—R. G. Dnn •& Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued today, says: The president clears away one grave uncertainty with his veto. For some days it has been expected, and some speculation perhaps discounted. The more confident tone observed this week Is partly duer to the belief that no disturbance of the currency will be permitted, but other causes helped forward improvement. Slowly, but yet qfalte perceptibly, the force at work Increases. The approach of spring compels thousands of dealers to replenish stocks, and the aggregate of orders, if smaller than usual at this season, is distinctly larger than in January or February. Except in speculative markets, prices do not recover, and in a few instances have gone lower: but the absence of sensational recordbreaking inspires hopes that the bottom may hare been reached. Business though small is exceptionally cautious and safe, and its slow gain is more encouraging than a flighty expansion. All speculative markets have teen stronger for a time. European buying of stocks with a conthlence in a veto, and progress in various reorganizations, caused an advance which reached on Wednesday 44 cents per #100 for railroad stocks and #1.46 for trusts. Transactions were so small that speculative selling was discouraged. But after the veto on Thursday realizing caused a sharp fall of 16 cents per share for railroads and 30 cents for trusts, and on Friday prices closed considerably higher for the week. Railroad earnings in March thus far have been 12.1 per cent smaller than last year, the trunk lines and grangers losing a little less and other eastern ar.d southwestern roads a little more, but the decrease in east-bound tonnage from Chicago was 7 per cent, for the week and 4 per cent, for the past four weeks. It is also encouraging that decrease in expenses on larger roads seem to keep equal pace with decrease in earnings. Wheat pose briskly with reports, due every year about April, that great injury had been sustained. Later accounts were better and prices fell, closing 2 cents higher for the week. Western receipts for four weeks have been only 6,829.068 bushels against 11,622.745 last year, but exports are very small Corn receipts for four weeks have been 12.773.748 bushels, against. 7.995,115 last year, so that the tonnage of the two grains taken together Is as large as a year ago. Pork products have sharply advanced, though.corn but little. Cotton has advanced an eighth, the weekly movement being more favorable to holders, though 200,00) bales have already come into sight in excess of the entire crop, according to some so-called investigations. Industries have gained again, though not so much as in other weeks this month, but the works in operation enjoy some increase in the demand. Where so many are working part time, or with reduced force, the less favored naturally drop out. while the multitude of

small orders gives others better occupation. Sales of wool in March were so much larger than last year that the decrease since January 1 has been wholly in foreign and not in domestic wool,but QhioXX and Michigan fine delaine are a shade weaker at 21 cents. Fall trade in women’s is still very small, but Deeds of belated clothiers have caused quite an improvement in spring goods. Cottons are also in better demand, and print clothes have advanced: a sixteenth. The shoe manufacturer is supported . by larger orders, particularly from tb*south for women's goods, with many small purchases for immediately delivery at the east, and a better demand at the west. Shipments from Boston, 17.6 per cent, less than last year for the first quarter, are cnly 14.7 peT cent. less for March. The demand for leather also increases, though only in medium or the lower qualities. The rubber company has reduced prices of men’s short boots 25 cents, with a discount of 5 per cent, on early orders, hoping thus to get a larger part of the year’s work done in the summer. , A surprising decrease is seen in the demand for copper, now S»v£ cents for lake, and lead Is weaker, but London speculation again advances tin. The iron and steel manufacture has increased the working force very little this week, and slightly lower prices for pig iron, nails and some njanufactured products at Pittsburgh and Chicago indicate that the works in operatien are fully able to supply the present cemand, but fails decidedly improve at the west. Domestic trade continues about 30.4 per cent, less than a year ago. Clearings at New York are 34.7 per cent, lessand at other cities 22.7per cent. less. Foreign trade still improves in exports from New York, last week. 25 per cent, larger, and in Mar«^»jK per cent, larger than last year, but imports were 27 per cent, smaller for the week and the month. As there was a large increase in the Imports of sugar, the decline in customs receipts was greater at 33 per cent, for the week and 45 per cent, lor the month while internal revenue is 8 per cent, smaller than last year . Treasury reserves are thus reduced, and payment of April interest and for war vessels belonging on the Pacific coast is expected to reduce the gold to about J100.000.fi0u next month. Currency still flows hither from th* country and there is no perceptible Increase in commercial loaos. though at some interior I>oints a better demand is reported. With 3 per cent, on time and 1 per cent, on call the ruling rates, securities are sent hither from Philadelphia and Boston, as collateral for call loans. Withdrawals of deposits from savings banks continue, mainly on the smaller accounts, indicating effeets-of want of work or lower wages, but for the year, ranging from 5 to 26 per cent, in different lanks. The failures during the week number 238 In the United States, against 16b last year: and 30 in Canada, against 28 last year. The liabilities for three weeks of March: thus far t reported have been: $10.061,991. of which $4,698,118 were of manufacturing and $4,225,082 of trading concerns. The returns so fiur indicate a smaller aggregate-for March than for Februi ary.

It will, perhaps, require a little stretch of the imagination on the part of the reader to recognize the fact that the two portraits at the head of this article are of the same individual ; and yet they are truthful sketches made from photographs, taken only a few months apart, of a very much esteemed citizen of Illinois—Mr. C. H. Harris, whose address is No. 1,623 Second Avenue, Rock Island, 111. The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Harris explains the mar, velous change in his personal appearance. He j writes : “ Dr. Fierce1* Golden Medical Discovery saved my life and has made me a 1 man. My home physicaui says I am good for forty years yet. You will remember that I was just between life and death, and all of my friends were sore it was a case of death, until I commenced taking a second bottle of * Golden Medical Diaooverv,’ when I became able to sit up and the cough was very much better, and the bleeding from my lungs stopped, and before I bad taken six bottles of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ my cough

ceased and 1 was a new man and ready for business. I now feel that it i»a duty that I owe to nay fellow-men to recommend to them the j ‘ Golden Medical Discovery * which saved my i life when doctors and all other medicines 1 failed to do me any good. I send to you with this letter two of mv ! photographs; one taken a few weeks before! \ was taken down sick in bed, and the other was taken after I was well.” These two photographs are faithfully re-produced at the head of this article. Mr. Harris’s experience in the use of “ Golden Medical Discovery” is not an exceptional one. Thousands of eminept people in all Kts of the world testify, ffa just as emphatic guage, to its marvelous curative powers over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and kindred diseases. Eminent physicians prescribe “ Golden ^Medical Discovery'” when any of their dear ones’ lives are imperilled by that dread disease, Consumption. Under such circumstances only the most reliable remedy would be depended upon, fhe following letter is to the point. It is from an eminent physician of Stamps, Lafayette Co., Ark. fie says: “Consumption is hereditary in my wife’s family : some have already died with the disease. My wife las a sister, Mrs. B. A. Cleary, that was taken with consumption. She used X)r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and, to the surprise of her many friends, she got well. My wife has also had hemorrhages from the lungs, and her sister insisted on her using the 1 Golden Medical Dis

coverv. ’ T consented to her using'it, and it cured her. She baa had no symptoms of consumption for the past six years. People* having this disease can take no better remedy.” ■ Yours very truly , From the Buckeye State comet the following: “ I was pronounced to have consump- * tion by two of our best doctors. I spent nearly $300, and was no better. I concluded to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discoveiy. I bought^ and used eight bottles and I can now say with truth that I feel just as well to-day as I did at twenty-five, ana can do just as good a day’s work on the farm, although I had not done anv work for several years,* Truly,,your friend,

Mr. Dulaney's address is Campbell,.Ohio. “ I had catarrh in the bead for years and. trouble with my left lung at the same time. You put so much faith in your remedies tliat I concluded to try one bottle or two, and I derived much benefit therefrom. I used up three bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, five bottles of your “.Golden Medical Discovery,” and in four months I was myself again. I could not sleep on my left side, and. now I can sleep and eat heartily. So long as I havw your medicines on hand I have no need of q, doctor; I do not think my housein>ontflr without them. Yours truly, Marlow, Baldwin Co., Ala.
