VOL XIII WILMINGTON, N. C WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1889. NO 286.
- THE PRK3IDEMS MESSAGE.
President Harrison's message
was read yesterday in both houses
of Congress. It is a lengthy doc
ment but it is not a very able one.
What he has to say, however, he
says plainly and succinctly. It gives
no new information and makes no
new recommendations. It will
probably be classed as one of the
most ordinary documents on file at
V V"'' Xltc ,ssumcu,,l,Kringaslowasl2icerftper pound
about it, however, that is peculiar, j
!-. finn Ul rni, , I,. IK!
and that is in tne fact that he is fol-
lowing close upon the heels of what ,
Mr. Cleveland said that the Demo- !
cratic party proposes to do. just as I
soon as they get in power again,
which will be at the next election, i
Mr. Harrison's recommendations as
to tne ran ti reiorm are a weaK tui
tion of those submitted by Mr. Cleve
land but they are not by any means
as clear and as lucid as could be de
sired. He wants the tariff reduced
and he wants all of the protection
possible to home industries. In
other words he tries to graft the
Democratic doctrine of tariff reduc
tion, on the Republican cry of pro
tection. -'What sort of a hybrid the
result will bo it is difficult to decide.
There is another remarkable, en
dorsement of the Democratic, party
and the Democratic policy in this
paper. The Bland silver bill, which
enjofued upon the government the
coinage of two million silver dollars
every month, was" a Democratic
measure and was received with
bowls of derision by the Republican
press and the Republican politicians
and yet Mr. Harrison is moved to
say that "the sevil anticipations
which have accompanied the coin
age and the use of the silver dollar
have not been realized." Verily
"the world do move."
Mr. Harrison wants the pension
roll increased; of course he does.
He does'nt go so far as to recom.
mend a service pension but ho
thinks that those who left the ser
vice sound and healthy, but. who
have since become incapacitated for
hard labor and are in need, should
be pensioned. This is in face of the
fact that Mr. Harrison recommends
that the taxes should be reduced by
the abolition of the tax on tobacco
and a qualified tax on spirits.
The President speaks of the new
Navy begun by Mr.Cleyeland, urges
continued improvement of Jimport-'
ant rivers and harbors and bars and
hopes (a la Cleveland ) that some
speedy provision will be made for
coast defences. He urges the enact
ment of a general bankrupt law and
devotes considerable part of his
message to Civil Service Reform.
Just what position he takes on this
last we are uterly unable to inform
our readers. They must peruse it
themselves. It possesses no mean
ing for us.
In view of the tact that Mr. Har
rison urges a reduction of the taxes
on the one. hand and an increased
pension roll on the other, the fol
lowing financial statement will be of
interest:
The aggregate receipts from all
sources for the yearvere$3S7,050,058.
84 derived as follows. From customs
$223,832,741.69; from internal revenue
$130,881,513.92; from miscellaneous
sources 132,335,803.23. The ordinary
expenditures for the same period
were $281,996,615,G0,and the total ex
penditures including the sinking
fund were $329,570,929. 2a. The ex
cess of receipts over expenditures
was after providing for the sinking
fund $57,470,129.50. For the current
fiscal vear the total revenues, actual
and estimated, are $385,000,000, and
the ordinary expenditures, actual
and estimated,are $293,000,000, inak
ing with the sinking fund, a total
expenditure of $341. 321,116. 90,leaving
an estimated surplus of $43,678,883,01,
'In other words the last fiscal year
of the , Cleveland administration,
which ended with last June, cost
the people282 millions wlrile the first
year of Harrison's teruCwill cost 293
millions, just eleven millions more
for Harrison's first year than for
Cleveland's "last. And with this dif
ference: Expenditures for the year
which cloAed with lnt June are
actual,, while those for the current
vear are estimated. No sane man'
doubts, even without a service pen
sion, that they will foot up at least
800 million at the close of the year.

This is a good play and it wiil be
presented at the,)pera House to
night b a good company. In say
ing this we pin our faith upon the
comments, of our near neighbors. It
has achieved success the past three
seasons, solely through giviug a
meritorious performance that all
classes of theatre-goers can appre
ciate. .
The play is'sO simple story of wo"
man's weakness and man's devotion
told in good English with an easily
defined plot. It gives, however, a
faithful picture of English North
country life. The special features
introduced are strong and original,
making the entertainment doubly
interesting and attractive. The spe
cial scenery of thi& production will
be placed on the stage as advertised,
and a thoroughly satisfactory en
tertainment is guaranteed.

"Contemporary American Carica

It is also profusely . illustrated;
"Notes of a Sub-Tropio Journey"
tells of the quiet life of the natives
