CLEVELAND'S BOND MESSAGE, He Informs Congress $66,. 000,000 Four Per Cent. Loan Will Be Issued, <4 FER CENT, iss a Option to Substitute 3 . Cent. Gold Bonds Within Ten Daye OST OF THE ISSUE GOES ABROAD tys He Was Forced to the Action | By Failure of Congress at To Act. ‘WABHINGTON, Feb. 8—The Presi- ent to- nt the following message > Congress ‘o the Congress of the United States: Since my recent communication to the Congress, calling attention to our finan- cfal condition and suggesting legislation which I deemed essential to our national welfare and credit, the anxiety and ap- prehension then existing in business cir- cles have continued. As a precaution, therefore, against the failure of timely legislative aid through Congressional action, cautious preparations have been pending to em- «Ploy to the best possible advantage in default of better means, such executive @uthority as may, without additional legislation, be exercised for the purpose of reinforcing and maintaining in our Treasury an adequate and safe gold re- serve. 5 In the judgment of those especially charged with the responsibilty, the busi- ness situation is 90 critical and the leg- islative situation is so unpromising with the omission thus far on the part of Congress to beneficially enlarge the « powers of the Secretary of the Treasury in the premises, as to enjoin immediate Executive action with the facilities now at hand, Therefore in pursuance of section , 8700 of the Revised Statutes, the details of an arrangement have this day been concluded with parties abundantly able to fu:fil their undertaking, whereby bonds of the United States, authorize under the act of July wM, 1 payable in coin, thirty years afte their date, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum to the amount of « little less than $62,100,000 are to be issued for the purchase of gold oln amounting to a sum slightly In ex- Eress of $65,000,000 to be delivered to the easury of the United States, which um added to the gold now held in our serve will so restore such reserve as lo make it amount to something more fhan $100,000.00. f Such ® premium fs to be allowed to the Government upon the bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the amount pf gold realized at three and three- fourths per cent. per annum, At leaat one-half of the gold to be obtained is to supplied from abroad, whch ts a very Hmportant and favorable feature of the transactio: . ‘The privilege 1s especially reserved to ithe Government to substitute at par within ten days from this date in leu lof the 4 per cent. coin bonds, other bonds in terms payable in gold and bearing only 3 per cent. interest, if the issue of S¥the same should in the meantime be au- thorized by Congress. The arrangement thus completed, which after careful inquiry appears in present circumstances and considering all the objects desired, to be the best attainable, develops such a difference in the estimation of investors between bonds made payable in coin and those specifically mude payable in gold, in favor of the latter, as is represented by three-fourths of a cent in annua! in- st. ‘fim the agreement just eopeluaed: the Ving in interest to the Gov- darned per cent. gold bonds should be substituted for 4 per cent. coin bonds inder the privile reserved, would be 4599,159, amounting In thirty or it the maturity of the coi bonds, to 7 Te. i Of course there joubt in any quarter as to the redemp- jon in gold of the bonds of the Gove! nent, which are nade, payable in coln. e, the discrimination e yond obligations payable th coin and [hose specifically made payable in go is very. significant. ria It is hardly, ne st thi Aaiitet ene. went pf those with whom we m M disposing of our bonds for Me subject to our dictation. 1 have only to add that in my opliic the transaviton here led for At, fhe rmation of the Congress, prom! peter results than the efforts previou Made in the direction of effectively {ng to our gol reserve throux iB jonds, and 1 belive it wil far as such action ces, to meet the determination cumstaa ia the law repealing the silver ipchawing clause of the act ¢ tego and that in the language eaiing act (he arrangement m pealing avorts to. “insure the mainten- fnce of the parity in value of the coir of the two meta vids puwe of every dollar, a rkets and in the, me GROV ecutive Mansion, F Tx*fhe fouse. the ™ ferred to, the Ways anc mittee.

This was the reason why so many people sought admission to Judge Freedman's court when the trial was resumed this morning. The only sensation in the case to-day was the introduction of a letter bearing the well-known signature of the present President of the United States. The let- ter wae written on a letter head, to which was pasted a marriage notice clipped from a newspaper and was as follows: SHERIFF'S OFFICE, ERIE COUNTY, Grover Cleveland, Sherif.
