AS TO AN EXTRA SESSION. A Kepnl.liran Scheme for Agitating Protection. In on interview- predicting and favor ing an extra session of congress. Senatoi Sherman has said : "We have plenty oi money nnd plenty of gold in the treasury and I do not think that congress is called upon to take up the consideration of any radical change in our present linaiicial system." Tkda is a. practical admission by tha Ohio senator, w ho is the chief eounseloi in financial matters of the republican jarty, that no necessity exists for an extra session. Tbe only substantial reason urged fOB the calling of an extra session was tha aaad af reeenna tn prate I aha gold reserve and prevent the issue of bonds. If there is plenty of money in th" treaai i v nod the gold rescrv e Ls in no danget this reaaOB is removed. The only ohject of an extra session, therefore, would be to pass a tariff bill, not for revenue, but for protection; in other words, to keep pledgee of beneflta made, to tbe bounty bite rests '.n return for BBppOai in the campaign. In doing this tbe republican aminiaImtlOB trill not e.nly ofTcnd the gn at

More than this, an extra session will again bring a disturbing factor inte business.

Tha pi wptrlty of tha country depends upon the business men gettingampletime tocst.iblish renewed activity without the fear of political tinkering. If the republicans care for tbe pxd will of tho country they will drop tha Fubjeet of an extra session St, Louit Republic.
