PINT whatever the present house may do.
there should by all means be an extra session
of the house. if for other purpose than 10
repeal the more obnoxious features Oh the
Mckinley act, and instruct the ways anu
means committee to proceed with the more
elaborate and thorough work OF revision dur
ing the recess, so that the house will not
have TO wait all next winter for Il bill to be
reported The democratic party has been
put In power to revise the tariff on the INES
laid down in its platform If it shalt ran TO
do this 1t will pc put out of power TWO years
from now. What it must do IN order to re-
tain power It may better do at once, for de
lay means prolonged hcsitancy in trade and
industry. and that in turn means popular dis
satisfaction and probable democratic defcat.
From The ST. Louis Republic, dom.
If no extra session is called. the ffty-third
congress which elected last week, Will
not convene until the first Monday in Decem-
Der. 1893. The election Of q speaker and the
organization Of the committees will postpone
until January, 1894, committee work OF any
kind. Beginning in January. the ways and
means committee could hardly have tariff
bin ready TO submit to the house before April,
and even If the democrats have narrow ma
jorlty in the senate it would probably be
August before the measure would get through
both houses and 90 TO the president for his
signature. Less than three months after the
bill became law the congressional election
Of 1894 would come, and under such circum-
stances the democrats would almost of neCes-
sity be placed on the defensive, with crti-
cisms and Misrepresentation to face which
could not be tested by results and with none
of the benefits to the people to fall back on
that have been promised through democratic
legislation.

pie have demanded it with such emphasis
that all must bow to It; but it will not come
in violence nor will 1t disturb any Of the le-
Ultimate industries of abe cOunrry. IT will
disturb trusts and monopOists who have
abused the tariff policy of the country by
prostituting 1t TO selfish advantage; but the
disturbance likely to be caused by the return
to a sound policy of just taxation will be
much less now than 1t would be four or eight
years hence.
From The st. Paul Globe.
For five years, since that famous tariff
message sent by Grover Cleveland to con-
gress In 1887, the country has been deliberat-
ing the tariff question to the exclusion of al
most every other public issue. For two
years since the election of 1890 tariff re-
form has been the avoWed desire of the coun-
try. That desire has just received another
and even more insistent expression Mt the
polls and further delay would be not only
needless, but positive disregard of the pop
uiar demand.
From The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
dem
The industries of the country are like 4
man on q dssecting table awaiting am oper-
alton by the surgeon. 1t would BIZ cruelty to
keep him quyering in suspense for Il single
unnecessary moment. If a leg is to come off,
have it off as soon as possible. Pain lis bad
enough, but suspense is worse.
From The Indianapolis Sentinel, dem
MANY of the leading democrat and ;ndo.
pendent newspapers OF the country unite with
The Sentinel in urging that an extra session
of congress be held next spring to repeal the
Mckinley law and the federal election law,
and admit Utah. New Mexico and Arizona as
states.
From The st. Louis Post Dispatch DEM
The democratic party has promised to re-
duce the tariff and relieve the people of q
burdensome iniquity; time should be lost
In redeeming its pledges. There is an i'm
