As Congress will meet next Monday
coniectures are in order as to what sub
iects will receive attention and what will
be done. 1t appears quite certain that the
Bourbon element will not be so rampant
as at the extra session. although it will be
difficult to keep it down. One authority
SAYS: The indications are strong that the
leaders of the democracy will attempt to
divert attention from the extreme green
back positions taken by so many of their
party, by reopening the questions of tariff,
and thus fixing the attention of the com
mercial interests of the country upon the
discussion of general revision of duties.
Coupled with this, there will be vigor-
Gus bid for popularity, through move
ment for reducing taxation. While the
greenback men, in spite of the crushing
defeats of the Fall elections, are pretend
ing that they still have vigorous life. the
democrats give them no encouragement
but, on the contrary treat them with cold
ness. In all the talk heard here, the idea
of the democratic managers seems to be
that the soft-money element of their party
can retreat from the financial positions
which have proved so disastrous, and sub
stitute instead an attack upon the national
banks. They pretend to believe that this
can be made to take the place of the green
back idea in the West, and that such men
as Thurman and those who have hereto
fore held hard-money views, can retrace
their steps through such shifting of the
financial issue.
