AN EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.

It seems almost certain that as soon
as President-elect Mckinley is inaugur-
ated an extra session of congress will
be called. If it is called, it is equally
certain that its great undertaking will
be a complete overhauling of the tariff
In an interview Senator 9hurston says:
A Republican administration has
been elected under a pledge to the peo-
pie to reform the tariff, and its duty
to this country is to proceed about that
business at the earliest possible mo-
ment and either keep its pledge or
make it manifest it is impossible to do
so. / think we ought to secure
tariff which could be put into effect by
the beginning of the next fiscal year.
That may be taken as a keynote of
any extra session that may be called
The surprising thing about it is that
any one should think it possible to open
the tariff question the middle of March
and close it by the end of the fiscal
year 1t can scarcely be done; it is
most improbable that it will be done.
Already various interests, seeming the
tariff carrion from afar, are preparing
and sending in memorials to congress
asking for protection for their special
products. When one begins TO do this
it viii not be long before they will all
rush in to do the same thing.
The need of additional revenue will
be the pretext for calling an extra ses-
sion, but no revenue bill can be passed
in three months. because no strictly
revenue measure will be allowed to pass.
The triumphant party is bent on max
ing tariff the great and leading ques-
ton, when it and all the world knows
that had it gone before the people with
tariff as the issue the people would not
have returned ii to power. The Demo-
Gratis who supported Mckinley would
not have done so had they believed
that the Republican party intended to
open the whole tariff question when
ensconced in power.
An extra session is always a danger
to any party. An extra session is a
double danger to the Republican party
if the entire tariff is to be made over;
and this now seems probable.
