CLEVELAND'S MESSAGE.
OPINION IN CANADA. MINISTERS TAKEN BY SURPRISE. CONFIDENT FEELING. ENTHUSIASM IN THE STATES. [press association.] Ottawa, August 25. President Cleveland's message to Congress took the Government completely by surprise. The coercive tone of the message is resented by the Press. The Government consider that the proposed retaliation on the part of the States will promote local trade, and that Halifax and St. John's will become great wintering ports, and will take the place in that respect, of Boston, Portland, and New York. The Ministers treat the message lightly, and express the opinion that the Dominion will be able to take care of itself. A section of the Canadian Press urge the Government to pursue a policy of isolation from the United States, while other journals advocate Freetrade. Washington, August 25. The President's message has been received with great enthusiasm in the United States, and it is thought his action has completely spoiled the Republican candidate's chances for the Presidential election. Mr. J. G. Blaine has issued a proclamation denouncing in strong terms the message sent by President Cleveland to Congress.
