Representative DalzelI said commenting on the
extra session outlook:
The Democrats will probably take up consid-
cradle time talking over the general subject OF
the tariff, but there will be no tariff legislation
either at the extra session or at the regular

can talk about, and SO 1 presume they will waste

The country is prosperous despite pessinists
here and there, and there will be no tariff re-
