Among the long headed protectionists
here, both in congress and in the lobby,
are aduitea number who. now that the
passage of tariff bill before March 4th
is impossible, are quietly forming an ex
ira session. They recognize the fact that
a revision must coon come and believe
taat their interests would fare better now
than when the gathering storm against
extreme protection and monopoly has OBJ
tanned greater headway. II the next
congress should not meet until Decem-
Der ii may assemble under the pressure
of general and severe industrial Distress
II It does it may be compelled by public
and general outcrles for relief to adopt a

the PAYMENTS in three months before
these clerks got at work amounted to-
S2A. .OOO. 900, while in the following
months they amounted to only 10000
600. The reason for this condition OF
things may be good, but congress ana
the people have right to an exPlana-

without debate would allow none. The
annual, cost or these additional clerks is
more than 1900. 600.
