We have all been talking aud thinking

congress might call ii going out of my
way. do not, however, see how the
hNt ulllS luut pNsSeu the mouse last
session can be argued In the senate this
session. There is. | understand, n grave
shortage in the treasury. These single
bills to free list single articles should
then be abandoned as calculated to make
n greater shortage. The Democrats,now
that they have control of ull the law
making machinery, should dciil with the
tariff on broad aud complete lines. An
entire tariff bill should be prepared to
take the place of the Mckinley bill, and
passed.
"Of course. under the senate rules,
that body could Mt the next session seize
ON any one of those single bills and
graft upon II by amendment, an entire
tariff bill. In other words. the whole
tariff situation might be solved at this
next session and ITO talk of IN extra
session be necessary. But il is not
probable that the Republicans in the
senate would consent to this. nor that
Harrison would sign bill if they did
do not however. want to give any
opinion as to the proprlety Of an extra
