IL Is very doubtful II the extreme
Democratic free trade shrlekers will
have the pleasure OF seeing an extra
session OF Congress called as soon as
President Cleveland takes his seat on
the fourth OF March. There ia II con-
siderable modification OF views
amongst Democrats upon that ques-
ton since the election. Mr.. Bayord's
plan to make the baron robbers DIS
gorge their Ill -gotten gains TO tho peo-
nile from whom they have iiiched them
under protection. as soon as an extra
session could be called, Is not as pop
ular an idea as when 1T was hrst
preached, though 1t Is no doubt the .
correct state of opinion OF the Demo-
cratic party, but as was the case In
olden time, when there was q conspir-
acy againsta popular man, the crowd
feared the people.
II there is no extra session called 1t
will he because the consplrators
nguiust protection, fear the people. Inc
most extreme free traders now favor
the calling of an extra session Tor the
purpose Of blocking out legislation
upon tariff reform and getting every
thing Ia readinesa by the time oil the
regular meeting of Congress In Decem-
Der, 1893. What elect this VIII nave
upon the real Southern Tree tralers'
who constitute the rank and hlc oil thS
Democratic party, remains to De seem
Are we really to believe That hehry
Watterson, OF the Louisville courier
Journal. the man who male the lree
trade plank in the Democratic piat-
form, and his following Will agree 10
this milk and water policy =.....
According TO Democratic argument
the argument that carried tine parry
successfully through the campaign
the country has been systefna1iea''y
robbed for long term OF years oy
highly protected and bloatea manu-
facturers, denomlnated baron roo :
bers," and the working people nave
been wronged and trampled INTO the
dust by a system OF robbery that nus
made the rich richer, anu the poor
poorer. Surely there should be no
delay In the sympathetic anu peheNo'
lent Democracy flying to the relief OF
crushed humanity and releasing 1T
from the bondage OF protection. MT.
Bayard is right. If thtsi is all true,and
Unjust lie, as Mr.. Bayard and all 9th
or Democratic orators have Insisted
on saying that it is true, no time
should he lost in calling an extra SEES
sion!of Congress.
The New York Evening Post in al
able article on THE Need OF Prompt
Action" the logic Of which seemed tc
us unanswerable almost immediately
after II became known that Congress
Democratic in both branches was on
OF the results OF the election, 1t urge'
not merely the propIlety but tho alb
solute necessity Of an extra session
Said "Ihe POST: III one-halt Nha'
the Democratic orators and writer
have been saying about the Mckinle!
bill be true, IL is almost crime t
leave 1t untouched on the statute, boo
one week longer than is necessary.
This was the first utterance Of tn
Post upon the subject, and 1t seems t
us to be most logical and true "
- sincerely hope Mr., Bayard will pus
the question OF mn early settlement b.
tween the distressed and robbie
people and their robbers. It Is not
matter that will permit of delay. Hell
ahould be afforded Immediately.
