The Senate again adjourned at early hour yesterday,
the House Of Representatives not having yet effected an
organization.
The House sat till after O'Clock, having called the
roll but once on the election OF Speaker The rest Of
the session occupied first in the discussion OF two
resolutions for transferring the appointment Of the
committees on Territories, the Judiciary, and on the
District OF Columbia, from the Chair TO the House itself
and the other for electng Speaker BY secret ballot

The value of the cotton shipped last year was therefore

sens the decline in farm produce forward The

ITSELF whether this high price of the material will SO
check consumption the close of the
winter The usual effect of high prices SO produced is
certainly check consumption. The great speculation of
the year 1882 1t will be remembered marked by such
diminished consumption and ruinous reaction In prices
but the general circumstances of trade this year are
widely different from those which then presented them
selves. In England short crop of breadstus opera
ted as powerful check upon the consumption of
goods and the DEAFNESS of money combined diminish
employment and give full effect the adverse influence
of advance in the material there while the mone-
revnson here, consequent upon the final sinking of the
late national bank, added the antc change in the
policy OF the government diminished the GUAM
ty taken by United States manufactures from 2s7 2ss to
267 $50 bales In subsequent year. All these circum-
stances reversed true has gone up 60 to

IL Is usually the that the uacurers, being In
command Of capital defer their purchases OF
part Of the year when they suppose the lowest prices will
rule and wish particularly call the attention Of Mr.
Cary and the American Review the figures, because
when, last summer, had occasion to show that the pu
chases ofhe manufacturers had decreased rising
ket for the material, both journals attributed the de-
cline the effect OF the tariff Now that the
have been compelled increase their purchases 80 per
cent at great advance, hope they will continue
ascrbe IL TO the tariff which has undoubtedly produced the
effect Of higher prices and higher wages
Seeing then, high prices for material have in the
United States bad the effect when
counteacted by general prosperity and cheap money It
may be inferred that similar circumstances In England
and Europe win produce like results The price of food In
England, Indicated in the six weeks averages Of the
price OF wheat, Ais Sd. per quarter low under large
imports The bullion in the Bank OF England had risen to
E6032 still in favor OF England and the
quantity OF specie the way thther from South America
and California large The bank had reduced Its ininur
TO n per cent per annum and private houses per
cent call. All these circumstances which counterac
the tendency Of the high price OF check

that ol England may be said close November The
quantity Of cotton which reached England last year from
quarters other than the United States, 396 and
has been estimated that high prices will this year draw

restrictive system And hence the attempts bring about
the failure Of the present system. Everybody knows
that systems well laws depend upon the fidelity OF
their administration for their success. Even govern
ment republican in its form may be converted into as
thorough desposm that Of Austria, by mere admin
straon, as witnessed in Rhode Island in 1872 And
may system Of public policy be defeated and pros
rated by NAL administration. And in this manner we
believe the administration will attempt to bring into
odum and defeat the liberal commercial policy OF the
last administration.
But the people know that in the hands OF friendly
administration, that system has been emneny success
full both in respect to the production of revenue and the
expansion Of the foreign and domestic trade OF the coun-
try. And if il fails in tie hands Of the present ad-
ministraton, the inference will be irresistible, that its
failure will have been accomplished by administra
ton resulting from design or incompetency. In that
event the cabinet will have the affirmative of the issue
which they make to sustain before the people, and WILL
before they stand vndicated in view Of the coun
try, be obliged to show how and for what the
system established by the last administration, and car
red into successful and triumphant operation, has failed
in their hands. G.
