THE PRESIDENT'S VETO.. Mr. Cleveland Vetoes the Bla*d Seignior age Vill and Gives His Reasons. Hio Message in Fall-Read it for Yourself. WASHINGTON, March 21.-The fol ing is the text of the President's mes sage vetoing the seigniorage bill: . To the House of Representatives: I return without my approval the House bMl numbered 4,956, entitled, "An Act directing the coinage of the silver bullion held in the treasury and for other purposes." My strong desire to avoid disagree ment 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 be thereby endangered, and that such action on my part would be a proper discharge of official duty. Iuaswuch, however, as I am uhable to satisfy my self that the proposed legislation is either wise or opportune, my concep tion of the obligation-and responsibili ties attached to the great office I hold for bids the indulgence of my personal desire, and inexorably confine me to that course which is dictated by my reason and judgment, and pointed out by a sincere purpose to protect and promote the general interest of our people. LAST YEAR'S PANIC. The financial disturbance which swept over the eguntry during the last year was unparalled in its severity and - disastrousconseqnences. Thereseemed to be almost.pn entire displacement of faith in our financial ability and a loss of confidence in our financial policy. Among those who attempted to assign causes for the distress it. was very generally conceded that the operation of the provision of law then in force which requried the Government of 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 repeal on the first day of November, 1893, of this statutory provision. We had, bow ever, fallen so lo.w in. the depths of depression; and timidity and appre hension had so completely gained con trol in financial circles that our rapid recuperation could not be reasonably expected. GOOD EFFECTS OF SILVER PURCHASE REPEAL. Our recovery has, nevertheless stead ily progressed, and, though less than five months have elapsed since the repeal of the mischievous silver pur chase requirement, a- wholesome im prJvement is unmistakably apparent. Confidence in our &bsolute solvency is * to such an extent reinstated and faith in our diisposition to adhere to sound finanelal methods is so far restored, as to produce the most encouraging results -- b9th at homa and abroad. The wheels of domestic industry have been slowly set in motion and the tide of foreign investment has again stated in our direc tion. Our 'recovery being so well under -way, riothing should be done to check our convalesence; nor should we' forget that a relapse at this time would almost surely reduce us to a lower stage of financial distress than that from which we are just emerging. DANGERS OF A MISSTEP. I believe that if this bill become a law it would weaken, if not destroy, confidence in our currency, and that as a consequence our progress to- renewed -.- business health would be un fortunate *-ly checked and a return 'to our recent distressing plight seriously threatened. This proposed legislation is so related to the current conditions grqwing out of the law compelling the purchase of silver by the Government that a glance at such conditions and a partial review of the law referred to may be not un profitable. SILVER PURCHASES UNDER SHERMAN'S ACT. Between the 14th day of August, 1890 when the law became operative, and ,The 1st day of November, 1893, when the cla'use it contained directing the pui-chase of silver was repealed, there were purchased by the Secretary of the Treasury more than 168,000,000 ounces of silver bullion. In payment *for this bullion the Government issued its treasury notes of various denomina * tions, amounting to nearly $156,000,000, which were immediately added to the currency in circulation among our peo ple. Such notes were by the law made legal tender in payment of all debts, publiland private, except when other wise expressly stipulated, , and 'were ABOVE ALL OTHERS, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the medicine for the blood. You'li'be willing to be lieve this, perhaps, if you think of the way it's sold to you. On trial - that's what it amounts to. In any case where it fails to benefit or cure, your money is returned. With - any dloubtful or ordi nar-y medicine, this couldn't be done. And it isn't done, except with the "Discovery." In every disease caused by a torpid liv& or im pure blood, this medi cine will certainly cure. For the most stubborn Skin and Scalp Diseases; the -worst forms of Serofula, even Consumption (or Lung-scrofula) fi its earlier stages; and for Dyspepsia, "Liver Comiplaint," and every kin dred ailment, nothing approaches it as a remedy. Nothing else, at any price, is really as cheap. You pay only for the good you get. IT DmSAPPEARS teworst forms of catarrh, with the use of Dr.I - Remedy. Its mild, soothing. cleansing and haling proper - ties effect aper ieet and pern. nent -cure, no matter how bad the eo.-n of how long standing. made receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues and when so received might be reissued. They were also permitted to be held by banking 1 associations as a part of the lawful re serves. On the demand of the holders these .treasury notes were to be re deemed in goki or silver uoin in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, but it wss "the established policy of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio as may be provided by law." MEANING OF THE SEIGNIORAGE PRO ,VISION. The money coined from such bullion was to be standard silver dollars, and after directiug the immediate coinage of a little less than twenty-eight million ounces, the law provided that as much of the remaining bullion should be thereafter coined as might be necessary for the redemption of the treasury note issued on its purchase, and that "any gain or seigniorage arising from such coinage shall be accounted for and paid into the treasury." This gain, or seigniorage evidently indicates so much of-the -bullion owned by the Government as sfould remain after using sufficient amount to coin as many standard silver dollars as should equal in number the dollars represenied by the treasury notes issued in pay ment of the entiere quantity of bullion MEANING OFMAINTENANCE OF PARITY. Considering the present intrinsic relation between gold and silver the manitenance of the parity between the two metals, as menti'oned in this law, can nean nothing lesa than the main tenance of such a party in the limita tion and in the estimation of the con fidence of the people who use our money in their daily transactions. Man- ? ifestly this Maintenance of.this pa. ity I can only be accomplished so far as it is l affected by these treasury notes, and in a the estimation of the holders of the same by giving to such holders on their t redemption the coin, whether it is gold < or silver, which they prefer. It follows f that while in terms the law leaves the choiceofcoin tobepaid on such redeni'b tion to the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, the exercise of this discretion, if opposed to the terms of the holder, is entirely inconsistent with t the effecti-e and beneficial mainten ance of the parity between the two metals. SILVER CFRTIFICATES REDEEMABLB IN GOLD. It both gold and silver are to serve s as money, aidd if they together are a to supply to our people a safe and a stable currency the necessity of preserv- i ing this parity is obvious. Such neces- p sity has been repeatedly conceded in the t platforms of both political parties and t in our Federate statutes. It is no- t where more~emphatically recognized t than in the recent law which repealed r he provision psder which the bullion t now on hand was purchased. This law g nsists upon the "maintenance of the; a parity in value of the coins of the two j Eetals and the equal power of every a lollar at all times in the market and a in the payment of debts." The See- 1 etary of the Treasury has, therefore, c for the best of reasons, not only prompt- d iy complied with every demand g ror the redemption of these treasury d ates in gold, but the present situation, a is well as the letter ands spirit of the e aw, appear plainly to justify, if they e lo not enjoin upon him, continuation 7] >f such redemption. THE STATUS OF THE QUESTION. C The conditions I have endeavored to '1 ;resent 'may be thus summarized: First. The Government has pur based and now has on hand sufficient e ilver bullion to permit the coinage of t till the silver necessray to redieem in such t lollars the treasury notes issued for the ij >urchase of said silver bullion and t ~nough besides to coin, as gain or a eigniorage, fifty-five million and one i aunderd fifty-six thousand and eighty me additional standard silver dollars. Second. There are outstanding and 2ow in eir culation treasury notes issued n payment of the bullion purchased a imounting to $152,951,280. These notes 0 ire egal tender '-in payment of all d lebts, pablic and private, except when 0 >therwise expressly stipulated, they I ire receivabla for customs, taxes and a l public dues, when held by banking t' issociations they may be counted as art of their lawful reserves, and they ~ ire redeemed by the Gov,ernment in ~ old, at' the option of the holders. ~ lhese advantageous attrioutes were leliberately attached to these notes at ~ :he time of their issue, they are fully t .ederstood by our people to whom such ' otes have been Aistributed as current = md have inspired confidence in their ~ safety and value, and have undoubted-I ly,thus induced their continued and ontented use as money instead of an muxiety for their redemption. OBJECTIONS TO THE BILL. I Having referred to some incidents which I deem~ relevant to the 'subject; it remains for me to submit a pacific statement of my objections to the bill now under c~nsideration. This bill consists of two sections excluding one which mxdrely appro priates a sum sufficIent to carry the Act into effect. Thbe first section pro vides immnediate coinsge of the silver bullion in the treasury which repre sents the seignorage which would arise from tbe coinage of all the bullion on hand, which gain or seigniorage this ection declares to be $55,156,681. It directs that the money so coiued or the certifitates issued thereon shall be used in the payment of public expendi tures and provides that if the needs of the treasury demand in the Secretary of the Treasury may, in his discretion, issue silver certificate in excess of such coinage, not exceeding the amount of seigniorage in said section authorized to be coine~d. The secondsection directs that as soon as possible after the coinage of this seigniorage the remainder of the bul lion beld by the Government shall be 'coinrd into legal tender standard silver dolars, and that they shall be held in the treasury for the redemption of the treasury notes issued in the purchase of said bullion. It provides that as fast as the bullion shall be coined for~ the redemption of said notes these: shall not be reissued, but shall be can celled and destroyed in amounts equal. to the coin held at any time in the tresur derived frnm the coinage pro-j 1 ~ 1 When my little girl was one month old, she bad-a scab form on her face. It kept spread ing until she was completely covered from head to foot. Then she had boils. She had forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. When six months old she did not {veigh seven pounds, a pound and a half less than at birth. Then her skin started to dry ap and got so bad she could not shut her eyes tosleep, but laid with them ha'f open. About his time, at the earnest request of friends, I tarted using the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and n one month she was completely cured. he doctor and drug bills were over one hun fred dollars, the Cuticara bill was not more thanfve dollar.'.

It is, towever, especially declared in said ection that the Act shall not be con trued to change existing laws relating o the legal tender character of the re lemption of the .re" iry notes issued r the purchas ,-:er bullion to be oined. AULT tUCTION OF THE BILL. T .(' , ,.bill is most unfortunately enstk d. Nearly every 'sentence resenP uncertainty and invites con roversy as to its meaning and intent. 'he firvt section is especially faulty in his respect, and it is extremely doubt a1 whether its language will permit be consummation of its sunposed pur oses. I am led to believe that the romoters of the bill intended in this ection to provide for the coinage of tandard silver dollars, and yet there positively nothing in the section to revent its coinage into any descrip on of silver coins now authorized nder any existing law. I suppose is section was also intended in case be needs of the treasury called for oney faster than the seigniorage llion could actually be coined, to ermit the issue of silver certificates in vance of such coinage, but its Ian uage'would seem to permit the issu ee of such certifieates to double the mount of seigniorage as stated, one alf of which would not represent an nce of silver in the treasury. The bate upon this section in the Con-I ress developed an earnest and positive ifference of ,opionion as to its object ad meaning. In any event I am ear that the present perplexities and mbarrassmxents of the Secretary of the reasury ought not to be augmented y devolving upon him the execution t a law so uncertain and confused. HERE MUST BE A SAFE GOLD E SERVE. I am not willing, however, to rest qy objection to this section solely on ese grounds; in my judgment sound nance does not commend a further ifusion of silver into our currency at is time unaccompanied by further equate provision for the maintenance onr treasury of a safe gold reserve. OUTFUL CHLARACTER OF PROPOSED CERTIFICATES. Doubts also arise as to the meaning d construction of the second section the bill. If the silver dollars thereiri rected to be coined are, as the section ovides, to be beld in the treasury for e redemptiod of treasury notes, it is ggeted that, strictly speaking, cer ficates cannot be issued on such coin in the manner provided by law," be mse these siollars are money held in e treasury for the express purpose of leening treasury notes, on demand, bioh would ordinarily mean that they rere set apart for the purpose of substi uting them for these treasury notes. hey are not, therefore, held i sneh a ay as to furnisih a basis for certificates ording to any provision of existing w.

If they were to be of the same character as the sil ver certificates in circulation under ex isting laws they would at best be re ceivable only for custuoms, taxes anC all public dues, and under the language of this section it is, to say the least extremely doubtful whether the cer tificates it contemplates would be law ful even for such purposes. The treasury notes now outstanding and in circulation amount to$152,951, 2S0, and although there has been 'ihus far but a comparatively small amouni of this bullion coined yet the so-callet gain of seigdiorage, as above defined which would arise from the coinage o: tha entire mass, has been easily ascer tained to be a quantity-of bullion suf ficient to make when coined, fifty-five illions, one hundred and fifty-six thousand, six hundred and eighty-one standard silver dollars. Whatever else may be said of the un eertainties of expression in this bill, they certainly ought not to be found in legislation affecting subjects so im portant and far-reaching as our finances and currency. In stating other and more important reasons for my disap proval of this section I shall, however, issume that under its provisions the treasury notes is ued in payment for silver bullion will continue to be re :eemed as heretofore in silver or gold it the option of the holders, and that if when they are presented for redemp tion, or reach the treasury in any other aian,,r, there are in the treasury :oined silver dollars equal in nominal value to such treasury notes, then, and n that case, the notes will be destroyed md silver certificates to an equal imount be substituted. UBSTITUTION OF CERTIFICATES FOR LEGAL TENDERS. I am convinced that this scheme is ,11-advised and dangerous. As an ulti nate result of its operation, treasury 2otes which are legal tender for all lebts, public and private, and which ire redeemable in gold or silver, at the )ption of the holder will be replaced by silver certificates, which, whatever nay be their character and description, ill have nond of these qualities. In inticipation of this result, and as an mmediate effect, the treasury notes ill naturally appreciate in value and lesirability. The fact that go:d can be -alized upon them, and the further act that their destruction has been de :reed when they reach the treasury, nust tend to their withdrawal from general circulation to be immediately )resented for gold redemption or to be woarded for presentation at a more onvenient season. The sequel of both perations will be a large addition to he silver currency in our circulation d a corresponding reduction of gold n the treasury. JOINAGE MAY BE SLOW, BUT DISTRUST WILL BE IMMEDIATE. The argument has been made that hese things will not occur at once be suse a long time must elapse before he coinage of any thing but the seign rage can be entered upon. If the >ysical effects of the execution of the econd section of this bill are not to be valized until far in the future, this nay furnish a strong reason why it hould not be passed so much in ad ance, but the postponement of its etual operation cannot prevent the ear and loss of confidence and nervous >recaution which would immediately ollow its passage and bring about its worst consequences.

This is a re versal of tbe policy vhich safe financ dictates, if we are to preserve parit3 beween gold and silver and mainfair sensible binetallism. DANGER . oF BUYING SILVER WITE GOLD. We have now outstanding more than three hundred and thirty-eight mil. lions of dollars in silver certificates issued under existing laws. They are serving the purpose of money usefully and without question. Our gold re serve, amounting to only a little more than one hundred millions of dollars, is directly charged with the redemp tion of three hundred and forty-six millions of United States notes. When it is proposed to inflate our silver cur rency it is a time for strengthening our gold reserve instead of depleting it. I can not conceive of a longer step toward silver momolnetallism than we take when we spend our gold to buy silver certificates for circulation, especially in view of the practical difficulties sur rounding the replenishment of our gold. This hads me to earnestly present the desirability of granting to the Sec retary of the Treasury a better power than now exists to issue bonds to pro tect our gold reserve when for any rea son it should be necessary. Ourcur rency is -in such a confused condition and our financial affairs are apt to as sume at any time so critical a position that it seems to me such a course is dictated by ordinary prudence. . I am not insensible to the arguments in favor of coining the bullion seignior age now in the treasury, and I believe it could be done safely and with advant age if the Secretary of the Treasury had the power to issue bonds at a low rate of interest under authority in sub stitution of that now existing and better suited to the protection of the treasury. CONCLUSION. I hope a way will present itself in the near future for the adjustment of our monetary affairs in such a comprehen sive and conservative manner as will accord to silver its proper place in our currency, but in the meantime I am extremely solicitous that whatever ac tion we take on this subject may be such as to prevent loss and discourage ment to our people at home, and the destruction of confidence in our finan cial management abroad.
