Today's procession was the biggest
Irish parade in the history Of the city
and was unusually imposing. The
men making up the giant column
marched up Fifth avenue eight
abreast, instead of four abreast as in
former years. The result was more
compact formation and better time,
adding much to the enjoyment Of the
thousands of men, women and chil.
dren gathered along the route of the
parade. The procession ended at a
large up town hall, in which the an.
nual st. Patrick's day ball will be held
tonight. Thirty thousand persons will
attend the ball.

IN BOTH HOUSES
President Taft's Brief Mes.
sage on Tariff Revision.
URGES PROMPT ACTION

Says Business Has Tendency to Halt
or Suspend Because of Uncertainty
of Changes and Suggests That the
Less Time Given to Other Subjects
Of Legislation at This Session the
Better for the Country.
Washington, March 17.-President
Taft's brief message to congress on
the tariff received careful attention on
the part of senators, many of whom
laughed when the presidents sugges
ton that no legislation except in re-
lation to the tariff be considered at
this session was read. When the
presidents message was read in the
house the Republicans broke out into
loud and prolonged applause. The
text of the message follows:
TO the Senate and House of Represen.
tatives: u.s.
1 have convened the congress in
this extra session in order to enable
it to give immediate consideration to
the revision of the Dingley tariff act
Conditions affecting production, man
ufacture and business generally have
so changed in the last twelve years
as to require a readjustment and re-
vision of the import duties imposed
by that act. More than this the pres.
ent tariff act, with the other sources
of governmental revenue, does not
furnish income enough to pay the au.
thorized expenditures. BY July 1 next
the excess of expenses over receipts
for the current fiscal year will equal
$10O,OOO,o00. ..l< .-...
Party Pledged to Revision.
The successful party in the late cleo.
ton is pledged to a revision of the
tariff. The country, and the business
community especially. expect it. The
prospect of a change in the rates of
import duties always causes suspen.
sion or halt in business because Of the
uncertainty as to the changes to be
made and their effect. It is therefore,
of the highest Importance that the
new bill should be agreed upon and
passed with as much speed as possible
consistent with it's due and thorough
consideration. For these reasons !
have deemed the present to be an ex.
traordinary occasion, within the mean.
ing of the Constitution, justifying and
requiring the calling of an extra ses.
sion. .~ .-~
In my inaugural address 1 stated in
a summary way the principles upon
which, in my judgment, the revision
of the tariff should proceed and indi-
Gated at least one new source of rev.
enue that might be properly resorted
to in order to avoid future deficit.
It is not necessary for me to repeat
what then said.
I venture to suggest that the vital
business interests Of the country re-
quire that the attention of the coz.
gress in this session be chiefly devot-
ed to the consideration of the new tar:
iff bill and that the less time given to
other subjects of legislation in this
session the better for the country.

Think of the hardships they must
nave endured to make settlement
under such circumstances. Their
post office was Pickens, South Caro-
lima, thirty-five miles away. Strange
to say, Notwithstanding all the dis
advantages they had, there was no
one OF the number but who was well
up in reading and mathematics, and
could converse intelligently on al
most any subject, especially politics
The whole family seemed to be
religiously inclined and most of
them belonged to some branch of
the Christian church, Tut how could
their children be otherwise with that
grand old man as their father. and
as | knew him to advise them in his
matter-of-fact way? But the great
est OF all was that kind, liberal
hearted Christian woman whom we
have the honor to- call grandma
she who was always ready to help
those who were in distress, either in
mind or body; ready at all times to
visit the sick and administer to their
necessities.
| don't feel that | would be doing
my duty to our ancestors if | did not
impress 1t on the minds OF every one
present that the development of this
valley and what 1t is to-day is largely
due to them, for they were among
the first to fell the trees and build
houses in this valley; the first to
clear the land and commence the
grandest avocation of life-agricul-
ture. 1t is due to them that the seed
that was placed in the soil Of this
valley Is now being scattered over
many States Of this Union. SO it is
with the offspring Of our ancestors:
They have sought out new places of
abode and now compose a part of
the citizenship of North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, Arkansas, California and
Washington.
Now, as this is the first reunion
OF this family, and no doubt the last
one on earth, may we so live that we
may all meet beyond the river, with
this inspiration written in letters of
gold across each ones brow. "Well
done, good and faithful servant: en-
ter into the JOY OF thy Lord" H.
