Presidents Message.

Washington, ID. o., March 10.
President Tat sent the following mes
sage TO Congress todsy:
To the Senate and House OF representatives
81 have convened the rOrgress in this extra
session in order to enable II 10 give immediate
consideration 10 the revision Of the Dingley
tariff act. Conditions affecting production,
manufacture and business generally have so
changed in the Lass twelve years as to require
q REIMBURSEMENT and revision Of the import
duties imposed by that act. More than this.
the present tariff act, with the other forces OF
government revenue, does not furnish income
enough 10 pay the authorized expenditures.
By July LIST next, the excess OF expenses over
receipts for the current fiscal yesr will equal
500, 100000. The successful party in the
last election is pledged to a 'eyison OF the
tirif. The country, and the business COM
munity especially, expect it. The prospect
Of the change in the rates Of import duties
always causes a suspension or halt in bust
ness because of the uncertainty as to ch inges
to be made and their effect. 1t is, therefore,
q the highest importance thai the new bill
should be agreed upon and passed with as
much speed as possible consistent with its
due and thorough consideration. For these
reasons, have deemed the present TO be an
extraordinary occasion, within the meaning
of the cOnstitu ion, justifying and requiring
the calling Of an extra session.
'In my inaugural address, | stated in 8
summary way the principles upon which, in
my judgment, the revision Of the tsriff should
proceed, and indicated at last ooe new source
Of revenue that might be properly resorted to
in order 70 avoid future deficit. II is not
necessary for me to repeat whst | then said.
81 venture to suggest that the vitll business
interests Of the country require that the atten-
ton of Congress in this session be chiefly de-
voted to the consideration Of the new teriff
bill, and that the less time given to other sub
jeets Of legislation in this session, the better
for the cOuntryp

TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. 10, 1909.

WITH victory within their grasp, the
democrats of the House yesterday, when,
with the aid Of the "insurgenp republi-
can they had voted down the gag rules.
lost out on their fight by the dessrtion OF
some of their members, whose votes bad
been confidently relied upon to defeat
the republicans. These men had been
sent to Congress by democratic constitu-
euces and owed their seats In the House
to, democratic voters, but 10 the very
hour of their psrtS's triumph they de-
ser,ed and went over to the enemy.
When the fight vas over 1t was found
that the power Of Speaker Cannon, who
had been reelected, and bis friend, Mr.
Dalzsl, OF the rules committee, to apply
the gag has been curtailed to some slight
extent. and the privileges of members 10
tho n after of getting consideration for
bills are slightly increased, but that is
all. The opportunity was at hand
for a complete reformation, and 1t
failed only because of diSloyalty
among the democrats, q number Of
whom will now probably get some
choice committee berths and other
fayors 10 payment for their trtachery'
In their own defense these men who
voted with the republicans are giving
various explanations. Some say they
voted to order the previous question Oh
the republican resolution 80 as to shuI
oil protrscted debate; others insist that
they we're against the democratic pro-
posal to continue the old rules until De-
ceNber because now or never was the
time to STRIFE, aud some OF the eastern
democrats assert that if the revolution
ists had won the western republican in-
surgents would have joined with the
southern democrats to take the duty Oh
certain commodities. There are grave
charges, however, brought against the
men who deserted. 1t is said that the
New Workers got their orders to join toe
republicans from Tammany Hall which
had previously been instructed by the
Standard Oil Company what the Tam
many members must do. 1t Is also re-
ported that one Of the southern members
who few the track has been promised
the control of the federal patronage IN
bis state for his vote. Similar charges
are lodged against other Of the deserter'.
These charges may or may not be true
but the action of these men certainly
gives rise to suspicion.

IT HAS been stated that the oil manu-

bear upon the House ways and means
committee to prevent reduction of the
tariff on oils. They have every mer-
ceuary reason for doing 50, fer the high
tax on oils keep pure oils from being
brought into the country and enables
