Congressman Tarsney, Of Missouri,
and Mrs. Tarsney have arrived at VII
lard's hotel at is too early 10 talk
about treasury shortages" said Mr.
Tarsney. until we know more about
1t and the length aud breadth OF the
trouble. Ii there Is shortage II must
be repaired at once and not allowed TO
drag over and cumbOr and clog the in-
coming administration To do this,
tah1 il, Is the general disposition, ind
the coming session will be marked In
its earliest hours by a vigorous inquiry
into the financial conditions OF the cOun-
try. and when what Is wrong and faulty
is shown, whether In the methods of
managing treasury affairs or In the act
ual deficit, you can rest assured the rem
edy will be prompt and equal to the
case.
AS to an extra session of congress l
must say | favor 1t. The sooner we
come to deal with and settle the tariff
~ estion the better. and we are MS per
fectly prepared TO go right at the matter

As TO treasury troubles sal Com
grrs.mnn DncSery. Of Missouri, Il would
prefer not TO talk just now. The APP
ippr. pr ltitns committee will, u the FIRST
day of the session, take up the treasury
matte rs aud so move ms to brl ~ M n
oughly, clearly and quickly before the
house the exact state of the nations
money affairs. If we are short we Will
know IL. and how much. II the book
keeping has been wrong we will find II
out III one fund has been plundcred to
exc ont some other; II reserves have
been unlawfully broken into; If, in fact,
Foster has buen rChhinE Peter to pay
Paul We will iiud " all ont ~ the be
ginning Of the session aud set about
making Il right 1T once.
AS TO an extra session, my ldeh ~
this: there are two propositions, | take
II. over which no great dispute among
Democrats could arise. One u that 70
call an extra session In March or April
right on the heels of Inauguration, before
the new administration had collected its
cabinet and made those iirst appoint
meuts which Is necessary TO SCI Tue new
machine in motion would be- precimtated
mud would be likely TO get matters into
snarls and hard knocks. which 1t would
be better for both the public ana the
party TO avoid. As second proposition,
Il is not wise from national or party
point OF view TO let the tarii question
drag along untouched until the Regular
convention oil tne IlitN-lhiu Nvnri''.1.
Ii Is not the wise nor the right thing TO
LET the tnriff question be deferred for SET
Element until Just before the election Two
wears from now. II Is both puphc
wrong and n party risk TO do anything
of the kind.
"1he plan / would suggest would save
all the time we could possibly gain by
called session the coming Mnrcl. ~
Is this Let a party caucus be made up
of the Democratic members OF the sen.
ate committee on finance. who are the
oncs who have 20 do with tariff matters
In the senate, and all those Democrats
IN the house who will probably be mem
beers of the ways and means committee
Of the Fifty-thir1 congress. would
aha 10 this list, too, Speaker Crisp and
mo Democratic members Of the rules
rommittee. Let this caucus begin ~
sessions as early as practical and frame
tariff bill. Too much eaR cannot De
displayed. II calls for more care nnd pains
than the Mills bill or any other tariff
measure wlirh the Democrats have yet
proposed. as this is the bin we will pass
and we must stand or fall by It's work
ines This caucus could be relied on TO
n,.r.c on n bill by the last Of next Sep
tcmber, and an extra styslOn cOnll Dc
called for next October The formation
Of The new administr lion would BE- com
pleted and running easily In NIL its parts
md be ready fully with both house and
senate TO attend 10 the matter and IN
the two succeeding months. before the
time for the first regular session OF the
Fifty.third congress, tariff bin could
be passed.
.si'he public In this way would have
II before II for its scrutiny aud study
IN plenty Of time for full and complete
understanding before the next congress
sioual election"
Governor Sayers from the old Tenth
Texas district is also in favor Of an
extra session.
