whereas the distrust and apprehension
concerning the fuancial situation which per-
wade all business circles have already caused
great loss and damage to our people and
threaten to cripple our mercantile interests,
stop the wheels of the manufacturer, bring
distress and privation to our farmers and
withhold from our workingmen the wage Of
labor and, whereas, the present perilous
condition is largely the result of the financial
policy which the executive branch of the
government finds embodied in unwise law,
which must be executed until repealed by
Congress.
"Now, therefore, /, Grover Cleveland,
President Of the United States, in perform
ance of constitutional duty, do by this pro-
clamation declare that an extraordinary
occasion requires tho converting Of both
houses of the Congress of the United States,
at the capitol in the city of Washington, oil
the 9TH day of August next, at II o'clock,
noon, to the end that the people may be
relie7ed through legislation from present
and impending danger and distress.
"All those entitled to act as members Of

notice Of this proclamation and attend at the
time and place above stated.
