Ai-d.-fc,M(-.)i Hji QUIET IN THR STOCK MAttKET. llamore of a Syndicate Makes Quicksilver Take a Jump, With tho excoption of a further jump in tho price of Quicksilver Common to 12, or rumors that a powerful syndicate has practi cally cornered that product, tho movo lucnts in stocks up to a late hour wero confined within a narrow range of prices. The bulls lifted the market X to 1 por cent, soon after the opening, but they met with more opposition than on yesterday and tne bears soon wiped out tho improve ment. The story about tho thoft of tho President's message and its sale to certain Wall street speculators who, it is alleged, entered into a combination to break the market, caused would-be buyers to hesitate, and this of itself operated against an advance. As money continues easy at K a 6 per cent., however, and exchange is gravitating to wards tho gold Importing point, tho work of depressing tho last is found difficult. The posted rates of sterling wore this morning loworod to 4.81K and 4.85if, owing to a light inquiry and offerings of bills by the German nrbitrngo bouses. A small further decline will bring gold from Europe. Tho biggest fight was in Union Pacific. This stock has uy common consent been mado the leader, although it is not yet known what recommendations will be made in tho report of tho Pacifio Hail way Investigating Commission. Tho fact that the Transcontinental roads have fixed up their differences, and reports that tho Union Pacifio and St. Paul have entered into trnffla agreement makes these stocks special favorites at the moment. The new issue of bonds by the Manhattan Elevated is telling on the stock which is down to 07K regular and 68 seller 60. . Tho commission houses say they are carry Ing no largo linos of stocks, and heiico that tho market is in no danger of any great reaction. There is, however, an indisposition to trade, and tho changos are almost entirely due to manipula tion by tho professionals. After the President's message and Socretary Falrchlld's annual report are digested a revival of busi ness is looked for. HEAVY INCREASE IN EXFOBTB.

Illslier Vuat O runted In Rome Case Firms Untvllllut; to Ittsk Lose at Tula Heaspn by st Strike Decisive Action Mnr He Tnken To-Nlaht-The Demands of the 3Ien In Clinrne of KnluUts of Labor, According to the latest advices none of the men employed by tho various livery firms and corporations had struok for tho increase of wages and the decrease of hours, the do maud for which was reported exclusively in tho evening edition of yesterday's Would. Unless, howovor, tho demands are acceded to, some stables aro likely to bo without hands boforo nightfall, tho men say. Ryerson &. Brown, who control tho Now York Cab Company, are not members of tho Association of Liverymen, and have arranged satisfactorily with their mon. Many of tho firms alleoted knowthat it will not do under any cirotfmstanoes to have n strike, for if one took placo they would lose their customers, who would resort to the elo vated railways, and many of whom would never return to the cab jyetem. The elevated railways have seriously aiTected the cab busi ness, and the liverymen are loath to educato any more of thoir old patrons into riding on tho cam. llradley fc Co. have settled matters satis factorily with their mon, but have not granted the short-hour rule. " Liberty Dawn " is the name of the local assombly of tho Knights of Labor to which tho livery stablemen aro attached, and it is within the jurisdiction of Dlstriot Assembly 49, whose Eiooutlvo Board is conducting the negotiations between tho employoes and tho employers, Joseph Seaich thinks that the liverymen will do with less hands if the demands aro granted. Quite a numbor of the leading livery firms have yielded to the domonds, and it is thought that no serious strike will ocour. Tho loss to tho employers would bo particularly severo just now in tho holiday season. Tho "cabbies" will, it is said, meet on Sunday next in Beckor's Hall, when tho whole subjoct will bo discussed and noted upon after reports havo been read' from tbe tho committees from eaoh stable. ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN. Two Attempts Made to Derail the Amboy Kxpress at Prince's Day. It was reported this morning that a des perato attempt was made on Bunday night by malicious persons to wreck the Amboy ex press train by placing ties across the track at tho grade at Prince's Bay Station. Wesley ltomor, who was walking along tho track about ten minutes before the 8 o'clock train was duo at that point, noticed the obstruction and removed it from the track. He then proceeded on his walk. William Butlor, also of Prince's Bay, walkod along the track a fow mlnutos after Mr. ltomor had removed tho obstruction, and found that tho ties had again boen placed on the track. He immediately realized tho danger and set to work to remove the ties. He had but just completed this when tho train camo rushing along. Had the train been derailed at this point, it would havo resulted in a frightful disastes. Tho railroad officials deny any knowlodgo of the 'affair. i a. MAYOR HEWITT WILL PLEASED, lie Reads the President's Message and Calls It Excellent. At 1 o'clock a World reporter showed to Mayor Hewitt a copy of the President's Mes sago. " You have offered me the first ovidence I have seen that the President has sent a mes sage to Congress," said His Honor amiably. He sat down and ran his eye rapidly over the columns. He seized the salient points with tho rapidity of a practised reader, and said : " Mr. Cleveland has dono well to confine himself to tho presentation of this all.im portant subject of the surplus and the tariff. So far as I can see, from this superficial reading of the message, the President seems to have affirmed my own views on the tariff, whloh may bo found in my speechos and writings. Of course, I am in favor of his suggestions. Tho message seems to mo to bo on excellent one," Panl Illnes tor InrilanapolU. ISriCIaL TO TBI WOBLD, iNDUNAFons, Dec .

TUB MESSAGE. lb faa Comgnt. q IA CW(cl StutM I You are confronted at the threshold of your leg islative duties with a condition of the national finances whioti Imperatively demands Immediate and careful consideration. The amount of muuey annually exacted, through the operation of present laws, from the Industries and necessities or the people, largely exceeds the sum necessary to meet the sxpeuses of the Uovern- mcm. When we consider that the theory of our Institu tions guaranteea to every citizen tbe full enjoyment of all the fruits of his industry and enterprise, wltn only such deduction aa may be hla share to wards the careful snd economical raalntsnanoe of the Government whioti protects him, It Is plain that the exaction of more than thla Is lndefen.lblo extortion and a culpable betrayal 01 American fair ness and Justice. 1 hla wrong lnfllctid upon those who bear Ihe burden of national tax ation, like other wrongs, multiplies a brood of evil consequences, 'Ihe pablio Treasury, which should only exlat as a conduit conveying tne peo ple's tribute to Its legitimate objeoia ot expendi ture, becomes a hoarding-place for money need lessly withdrawn from trade and the people's use, thus crippling our national enemies, suspending our oiuntry's development, preventing investment In productive enterprise, threatening dnanclal dis turbance, and Inviting scbemea of public plunder. This condition of our Treasury Is not ultugettier newt and It has more than oner of late D00u au milted 10 the people's representatives In tho Con fress, who alone can apply a remedy. And yet ho situation still continues, with aggravated Inci dents, more than ever presaging financial convul alon and wide-spread disaster. ACT BEFORE DISASTER C01IES. It will not do to negleot this situation because its dsngera are not now palpably Imminent and ap parent. They exist none the less certainly, aud await tbe unfnrraten and unexpected occasion when suddenly they win be precipitated upon us. On tbe coin d.V of June, IbSS, the excest of revenues over publlo expenditures after complying with tho aunuai requirement of the Sinking Fund act, wasllT,39,7S5.84; durlngtne year ended June SO, 18, aucb excess amounted to M9,05,.J6.vo, and during tne year ended Juno SO, ltST, It reached tbe sum of i55,sT,Ml.M. Tbe annual contributions to tbe sinking fund dur ing the three years above aneilfied, amounting In the aggregate to J18i,0M,Si0. M, and deducted from the surplus assisted, were made by calling In for that purpose outstanding three per cent, bonds of the Uovernment. During the six months prior to June so, lb7, tbo surplus revenue had growu so large by repeated accumulations, and it waa feared the wltndrawal of tb's great amu of moueyneedel by the people would ao aSeU the tmstntsi of the couutry ti at tho sum of STf.bOt, 100 of such surplus was applied to the payment of thu principal and Intertst of the thrcu per cent, bonds still outstand ing, and which wero then payable at tho option of Ihe Government. Ihe irccarloua condition of financial affairs among the people still needing relief, Immedla-ely after the soth day of June, 1M7, tho reminder ot the 8 per cent, bonds then outstanding, amounting with principal aud interest to thu sum ot 118,817, 50o, were called in and applied to the aluklng fund contribution for the curreut fiscal year. Notwithstanding theKe operations of the Treasury Department representa tions of dlattess lu bulne.s circles not ony con tinued, but Increase I, ami atiso uto peril ciued at hand. In tune circumstances the contribution to the slaking fund for Ihe mrrsut ilscal year waa at once completed by the expenditure of til, bM,25.65 in the purchase of (Soverumeut boud. not yet iuebeailng s aud 4X percent. Intenst, ihe pre mium paid thereon averaging about 24 perctui. for the lorinn and 8 per lent, for the latler. In addition to thia the lut rest accruing during the current year u.on ouiaiaudlng bouded lndvie hess if tne Uovernment n as 1 some extent antici pated, and barks selected a dep i.ltorles of public money were perml.led to some a bat Increase their deposits. 4 While tbe expedients thus employed, to r leae lo tbi people tne muuey lying Idle In t 0 Trea ury, arvedio avert Immediate dan er, our surp us revenues liaw c.nllnued to accumulate, the ex ce.a for the present year amounting n tne 1st day of Det-euiber 10 I3J,KJ,i01 IK. aud est malm to reach the sum of $113,010,000 on the soth of June next, at which elate it I. expected that thu turn, ad'ied to prior accumulation., will swell the surplus la the Treasury to SUO.iioO.OOu, XOWBT CSKLESSLY SUBTKACTEO FKOM CHANNELS or IHtVV. There seems to be no aaaoranco that, with such a withdrawal from use of the people's circulating medium, our bualneas community may not in Ihe near totuTa be subjected to the aamu distress which waa quite iat ly producod from Ihe a .me eauae. Ana while the functions or our Ntl nil Treasury should be few sndslmple. and while lis bt at condition nould be reached, 1 be. let e, by its eut re disconnection with private boeluiaa Interests, yet when, by a perveision of Its purposes, it idly holds money uselessly subtracted from the channels of trade, there seems to be reason lor Ihe claim that somelegttlmate means should be devised by the Government to restore lu sn emergency, without waste or extravagance, such money to Its placo amoni the people. If auen an emergency arises there now exists no elesr and undoubted executive power of relief. Heretofore the redemption of I percent bonds, which were payable at the option ot the Govern ment, has afforded a means for the dlaburaement of the excess of our revenues, bnt these bonds bsve all been retired, and there are no bonds outstanding the payment of which we havo tbo right to waist aoixa ron the bviwlvh. The rrctdmt it Jtight: Stop the tiurplui and You hlojt the Jtaidtri, ?pon. Tho contribution to tho atnklng fund which urulshes the occasion for expenditure In tho pur chase of bonds has been already mods for the cur rent year, so'lhat there Is no outlet In that direction. In the preaent state of legislation the only pre lcne of any existing executive power to restore, at this time, any part of oar surplus revenues to the people by Its expenditure, consists In the sup position that ihe Secretary of the Treasury may enter the market and purchase the bonds of the noiernmentnotyctdueat a rate of premium to be agreed upon. The only provision of law from which such a power could bo derived Is found in an appropriation bill passed a number ot ycara ago; and it la subject to the suspicion that It Tfs Intended as temporary and limited In II application, Instead of conferring a continuing disiretlun aud authority. Mo condition oil lit to exist whlUi would Justify the grant of power tn a alugte olTlclal, upon his Judument of lis necessity, to withhold from or release to tho bual noMsof the peoplo, In an unusual manner, money held In the Treasury, and thus affect, at his will, the flnmclal situation of the country; anil If It Is deemed wlso to lodgo In tho Secretary of thoTreaa ry the authority In the present Juncture to pur chase bunds. It should ho plainly vested, and pro vided as far as possible, wilh such checks and limi tations aa will deflno this official's rtgnt aud dis cretion, and at tho aauio time relieve him from undue responsibility. AT THE MKI1CT or BONDHOLDERS. In considering tho question of purchasing bonds as a means of restoring to circulation the surplus money accumulating In the Trea.ury, It should be boruu In mind that premiums muat of courao be paid upon such purchase, that there may be a large part of these bonds held aa Investments which can not be purchase I at any price, and that combina tions atnoug holders who are willing 10 sell msy nnrenson.bly enhance tho cost ot such bonds to the Uovernment. I: has been suggested that the present bonded debt might be refunded at a leas rate of Interest and the dlfferenro between the old and new se curity paid In cash, thus finding use for the sur plus In the Treasury. The succcsa of this plan, it is apparent, must depend upon the volition of lha holders of me present bonds; snd It la not entirely certain that the Inducement which must I offered them would reault In moro financial benefit to the Government than Ihe purchase of bonds, while the latter proposition would reduce the principal 01 tho debt by actual payment, Instead of extend ing It. 1 ho proposition to deposit the money held by the Government In banks throughout ihe country for use by the people is, It seems to me, exceedingly oi'Jertlonable m principle, ua establishing too close a relationship between the operations of the Uov ernment Treasury aud the busluesa ot iho country, and too cxtintlio a commingling of their money, thus loitering un unnatural reliance In private buslneai upon publlo funds. If this scheme should b sdopted It should only be done ss a temporary expedient to meet an urgent necessity. Legislative nnd executive effort should generally be In the op posite direction and should have a tendency to di vorce, as much aud aa fast as can saiely tie done, the Treasury Department from private enterprise. Ol coarse, It Is not expected that unnecessary and extravagant appropriations will be made for the puipose of avoiding me accumulation of an ex cess of revenue. Such expenditure, betide the de moralization of all Jut conceptions of public duty which II eutsl s, stimulates a nabit or reckless lui provlilenco not In the lest consistent with the mi.slon of our people or the high and beneficent purposes of our Uovernment. TUK SITUATION VIUIGUT WITH DANGER. I have deemed It my duty to thus bring to the knowledge ot my countrymen, us well ss to the at tention of their repreientatlves charged with the responsibility of legislative relief, the gravity ot our financial situation. The Jailors ol the Con gress heretofore to provide against the dangers which it was quite evident the very nstureof me difficulty must necesiarily produce caused a con dition ot llu.ticlai distress uud spptehenslon since your last udjournmeut which taxed to tbe utmost nil the authority and expedients within executive control, and these appear now to be exhausted. If dlsksicr results I rum the continued Inaction of Congieia, tho responsibility must rest where It belongs. Though tbe situation thus far considered Is fraught vilth dauger which should be fully real ized, and though It presents features of wrornr to the people as ell as peril to the eouutry, It Is but a result growing out of a perfectly palpable uud apparent cause, constantly reproducing the same uurmiug I'lrcuiustunuea a contested National Treasury and a depleted monetary condition In tne business of tne couutry. It neid hardly be stuled that v hlle tbe present situation demands a remedy, we can only be eaed from u like predicament la the future by the removal of Ita cause. Our scheme f taxation, by meant of which this needless surplus Is taken from ihe peupla und put Into the public Treasury, consists of a tariff or duty levied upon importatlous from abroad and Internal revenue tax, a levied upon the consump tion of tobacco and spirituous mid malt liquors. It must be conceded mat none of tho tiling, sun jeeted o Internal revenue taxi Ion are, strictly sieakiug, necessaries; there appears to be no Ju-.t complaint of this taxatlou by the coosumira of these articles, and there seems to be nothing so we ab e to bear the burden without hardship to any portion of the people.
