Comments Of Republican Papers on the
Extra Session.
This will give renewed confidence to
business, provided business men can
muster up confidence in democratic
congress. Burlington Hawkcye.
The president does not recognize suf-
iciently the fact that the threat to rev.
olutionize our tariff policy has as much
to do with the present depression as the
silver crisis. Commercial.
We presume it may be taken for
granted that the repeal of the silver
purchase law will be the first thing in
order, and trust that it will be accom-
plished very shortly after the session
opens-N. Y. Tribune.
In defending honest dollars the re-
publicans will render an incalculable
service to the nation. The republican
minority in the house and senate is the
only firm bulwark against democratic
demagogy and fanaticism.-N.Y Press
So certain is it that congress will
make quick work of the Sherman law
as soon as it can be got at, that the
converting of that body on August Z
will doubtless be accepted by the coun-
try as equivalent to its repeal.-St.
Paul Pioneer Press.
The extra session will, possibly,
have one good effect Many people
think the country needs something"
to help it in its present time of un-
certainty, and this something" has
come in the shape of an extra session.
Kansas City Journal.
If the democratic congress would
follow the repeal of the silver purchase
act with resolution declaring that no
radical change will be made in the
tariff. the confidence which the demo-
cratic policy has sacrificed would
gradually return. indianapolis Jour

When congress gets together, and
takes careful and broad survey
of the whole financial situation, it is
likely to drop some of its crude and
cranky notions on monetary questions,
and get itself into the mood to legislate
wisely in this crisis Louis Globe
Democrat.
In calling congress together August
Z the president has but yielded to a
popular demand, and it is probable that
congress will yield to that popular de-
mand by repeating the silver purchase
law in the hope that it will, in some
measure, restore confidence.-Indianap-
oils Journal.
There will be the usual effort of
demagogues to shape legislation to suit
selfish interests; but it is devoutly to
be hoped that in the present gravc
financial situation enough good men
and true may be found to do just what
is needed to be done and prevent any
rash or foolish legislation any expert
ments in monetary legislation Toledo

Upon the democratic party is now
placed the burden of the greatest re-
sponsibility that has confronted parti-
sans for many sessions of congress. 1t
is possible that it may rise to the occa-
sion and give the country relief by
wise and timely legislation, in spite of
the records of the party for doing tho
wrong thing at the right Jime.-Cin-
cinnati Tribune.
The call of President Cleveland for
an extra session is not as satisfactory
as it might be. 1t is intensely partisan.
1t throws blame on shoulders where
blame does not Of right rest. If ''un-
wise laws" are on the statute books
they were not written in them by a
party vote Democrats are as much re-
sponsible for those blurs and blots on
our legislation as are republicans-N.
