The action of the Democratic House
at Washington in passing bill to re-
tire the fractional currency with sill
yer coin, is not pleasing to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, and remarks that
it will cost large number of gentle
men their seats at the coming elec-
ton. OF the Southern wing of the
party, who voted generally for the
measure, the Enquirer is forced to
say:
1t was the votes of the Democratic
members of Congress in the Southern
States which fastened upon us the re-
sumption of base silver coin for cor
responding amount of better money IN
national currency. The South would
seem to be the eternal bane of the De
mocracy. 1t was so before the war. The
Northern Democrats were ruined by Its
foolish exactions. Its representative
men did not seem to possess the least
sense, 1t has been so since. For the
first time since the war it has appeared
In Washington in Congress. The first
use it makes of its appearance is to as
sist in an enactment of law to cripple
and embarrass its only friends in the
Northwest.

Is it a Bonanza?


The political literature of the day
would not be complete without the
publication of the following, from
the National Republican:
Some facts that have recently come
to our knowledge seem to indicate
that the House Printing Committee
is not, after all, so thirsty for econo-
my and retrenchment as the above
paragraph might lead one to sup
pose.
At the recent lettings of paper
contracts Milwaukee firm was the
lowest bidder for large class of pa
pers. Their rate ranged from six
mills to two cents per pound lower
than any other. Certain competing
parties who, it would seem, belong to
the class of .sfavored Dealers" pre-
sented a protest in writing against
the reception of the bids of the Mil
waukee firm. The ground for reject
ing the bids was an alleged informali-
ty. The committee, without hear
ing argument or explanation, sum-
marily rejected the bids. To this ac-
ton the Milwaukee firm remonstra
ted. They showed that the bids
were not informal, according to law,
and that whatever informality there
was was caused by the agents of the
Government, and was not the fault
of the firm. They moreover charg-
ed
First. That by rejecting theiI
bids the committee proposed to pay
from six mills to two cents higher
than last year, while the price Of pa
per is really cent lower.
Second. That the committee pro
posed to pay one cent per pound
higher than the price in open mar
ket.
Third. That by awarding tht
contracts at the rate they intended
the Government would be the loser tt
the amount of $4,000 or $15, 900.
The committee was moreover re
minded of its reserved right to reiec
all bids 'sas the interest of the Gov
ernment should dictate" 1t wa
known that were the bids for thi
class reopened for competition tn
above amount could be saved to tn
Government, and they were invited t.
so reopen them.
To this remonstrance the commit
tee paid no attention. The award
were confirmed by the votes of tn
House committee. We understan
the Republican members vote
against this award, and we are gla
to be able to say it. The effect c
this decision will be to put a ''bonus
/ into the pockets of certain dealers
and Mr.. Vance and his brothe
,, Democrats knew it when they vote
for it. Had any one been ever s
anxious to favor any one in this cas-
j they could not have done it withou
the active assistance of the Hous
committee. Why is Mr.. Vanc
: anxious to put money into the pocL
cts of contractors? Does he inten
to make up the deficit by squeezin
the salaries of Treasury clerks
While he was meditating this piec
of questionable economy he otfere
: in the House a resolution providir
for the publication of 100000 copie

he not have been satisfied with fewe
reports, knowing the high price c
the paper they were to be printe
on? Or could he not have agreed
a cheaper price for the paper, know
! ing the immense amount of it he il
tended having consumed?
