THE ENORMOUS and burdensome tax
On pig tin is so injurious and patent
that even the republican protectionists
on the ways and means committee OF
the q. S. House of Representatives last
Tuesday voted with their democratic
colleagues for its removal. But, for all
this, Mr.. Carlisle, who will be Secretary
of the Treasury next month, says it will
be better not to have an early extra SEES
sion of the next Congress to remove the
oppressive tax referred to.

THE FACT that poll is being taken,
by order of the incoming administra-
ton, of the next Congress on the ques-
ton of repeating the Sherman silvera act
looks as if there may be an early extra
session of that body if the poll be favor
able to the repeal of that act. 1t also
looks as if the incoming administration
deems the repeal of the silver act of fal
more importance than the repeal of the
Mckinley tariff bill. But if an early
extra session of the new Congress shall
be held, the friends ola low tariff should
not let it adjourn before at least vote
be taken upon the repeal of the Mckin-
lev bill.

THE NEW YORK H'orid says: "The
first duty of Congress is to repeal the
silver purchase law Oh, no! The
first duty of the next Congress should
be to repeal the Mckinley law; and so
imperative and urgent is that duty that
an early extra session should be con-
vened in order to perform it as soon as
possible. lift take all the money a
man has to feed and clothe himself, it
makes no difference to him whether
that money be made of paper, silver or

DURING THE twenty-three years OF
the present French republic there have
been no less than twenty-eight different
ministries, or cabinets, as they are called
here. Under republican government in
France change is the order of the day,
and an early reversion to an empire or
monarchy, after a short rule of an
archy, rapine and bloodshed, wouldn't
be at all unexpected to well-informed
