AN EXTRA SESSION AND THE
CANADIAN BILL.

President Taft has called an extra
session of Congress for April 4. At this
sitting viii be considered the proposed
reciprocity treaty between Canada and
the United States According to advices
from Washington the Democrats. ex-
cepting few who are aligned with the
Republicans Of the Old Guard, viii as
sist III the passing Of the bill as d sep
arate measure. According TO the States,
the party leaders believe that it is the
part Of wisdom not 10 undertake a Sc
rious tariff programme on such short
notice, and better results will be secured
BY allowing the work of general revis-
ion to go over to the regular session
next December. Il would appear that
this is the wisest course to pursue in
the circumstances, and there is little
reason to doubt that revision Of sew
eral ct the indefensible schedules Of the
tariff law can be accomplished without
any serious disturbance to business, and
that measure Of relief will be given
the people with which they will be well
pleased.
The Democratic party Is not and never
has been committed to the policy of abb
solute free trade. because Of its thor
ough understanding that revenues for
tie support of the government must be
raised BIZ customs duties, hence it stands
not for a tariff for protection. but a tar
if for revenue. and this marks the diff
ference between It's policy and that OF
tie Republican party. Whatever the
Democratic party would do in the event
thar It came into full power there is
