Speaker crisp's Views.
ATLANTA, Ca, July 2.-Speak-
er Crisp left at room to-day for
Washington. While in the city
he had many callers. Asked
about his reason for his trip to
the North at this time the Speak
er said:
II am on my way to Washing
ton in answer to a telegram from
Mr.. Carlisle, who intends to 60 to
Chicago on Thursday, but who
desired to have y conference with
me before he left the city. l
do not know the nature of the
conference we are to have, but
naturally suppose it will relate to
matters that may come up before
the extra session. From Wash
ington l will go to New York,
where ! will make a short talk in
Tammany Hall on the Fourth of
July. My first intention was to
go from New York to the Worlds
Fair, but the action of the Presi-
dent In calling an extra session of
Congress . month in advance Of
the time first decided upon places
an inhibition on my making this
trip from New York l will return
homo in order to get ready for
the work that has been precipita-
ted by the Presidents proclama-
tion."
.What do you think Of the
Presidents course in calling an
extra session I"
81 think well Of it. The Presl-
dent is q man of the people and it
required only an intimation Of the
popular desire on this question to
get him to act with pr0mptness
and decision. His proclamation
was timely and already there is
noticeable a changed feeling on
the part of the people and Q more
hopeful state among business in.
terests. / look for great good
to result from the extra session."
"What will be done by Congress
during the extra session."
'sThat ie . hard question to an
swer in detail. But l look for
Congress to meet the demands of
the country by carrying out the
Chicago platform.
"Will the early session deal with
the tariff and in what wayT
aThe nature Of it's treatment Of
the tariff depends largely, Of
course, upon whether 1t will be q
continuous session. If it adjourns
before the regular fall session be-
gins, a committee will, think, be
charged with the work of reform
ing the tariff, and will proceed
with this d1ty until some good
tariff measure is formulated. Per.
sonally / am in favor Of . radical
reduction of the tariff on the ne
cessaries of life and as great q re.
duction on the luxuries as the
conditions will allow. / want to
see decided cheapening of goods
Of every description, IN order to
satisfy all classes"
"Will the Sherman bill be re-
pealedr
"Undoubtedly, I believe that
the business interests of the cOun.
try demand its repeal and that the
people are in favor of it. / fur
ther think that Congl ess will
thereby take q very decided step
towards carrying ont the Demo
cratic platform"
"How about the 10 per cent tax
on State banks Of issuef'
" don't think there win be any
trouble in the way Of repeating
the tax ON State banks. While I
am not authorized Ito speak for
him, I believe that the President
is In favor of repeating this tax"
Asked about the income tax
Mr.. Crisp said: @The
party will undoubtedly come to
IN in income tax. and such . law
will come in time. There 10 no
doubt that people all over the
country are coming to realize that
IN income tax ID . step in the
right direction"
A Sensational Case.
