CONGRESS will convene in
special session next Monday ia
response 10 a call issued by pres
Taft. The principal les is
lation of the session will be the
revision of the tariff Conditions
have changed very materially
since the present tariff was
adopted and revision of the
schedules is imperative. Both the
republican and the democrat
parties were, by their national
platform, pledged to such revis-
ion and the president has acted
with commendabIe promptness in
the matter, and has strongly init
mated that nothing short Of revi-
sion thatrevises will be acceptable
to him. As the republicans are
in complete control of the situa-
ton, 1t goes without saying That
any tariff that may be adopted will
be framed along protection lines
while at the same time so arrang-
ed as to produce the needed rev
enue. This is as certain as that
the revision would in the direc-
ton of free trade if the democrat
party were in control of the gov
eminent, AS the uncertainty
connected with the enactment of
new tariff law inevitably pro
duces more or less disarrange-
ment ia business affairs, it is to
be hoped that no more time will be
consumed then is actually need
ed for due consideration of the
important questions involved. 1t
would seem as though the matter
should be closed and the new law
placed on the statute books as
soon as the first of June next at
the farthest.
