President Cleveland's Message on Foreign Policy and Finance
The president's congressional message, about twenty thousand words, centers on foreign relations and finances. He denounces silver, supports the gold standard, and prefers long term bonds over greenbacks. He upholds the Monroe Doctrine toward Venezuela but urges restraint in Cuba, risking public disappointment yet signaling administration policy. Congress is expected to reflect national sentiment and support Cuban independence.
