special to the INDIANAPOLIS JoprnaL
WASHINGTON, Sept 2-If General Hooker. OF
Mississippi, succeeds in getting up in the House,
tomorrow. his joint resolution authorizing the
President to suspend temporarily the duties i'm
posed upon imported cotton bagcing, an exceed
inely lively time is promised. The Republicans
say they cannot be driven by the cry Of "Down
with nonopolies,' ''Let US destroy the trusts"
to support q proposition which will strike .
deadly blow at one of the most important Amer
icau industries. They declare that the Demo
Gratis are simply attempting 10 divert attention
from free trade to an alleged effort to break
down monopolies for the purpose OF reaching
free trade, and that for this reason they propose
to fight the abolition of the cotton-bageiug
duties. They say. further, that this movement
is entirely sectional being an intention to
assist the cotton-growers and dealers In the
South at the cost OF the fax-pr oducers and bag
einR manufacturers of the North. From what
is eaid tonight by me mbers of the House, the
debate upon the proposition, if it Is taken
up, promises to pale into insignfcance the utter
ances Of Mr.. Blaine on the subject Of trusts A
Republican member from Indiana says that ia
his State alone there are nearly one hundred
tow mills which mauufscture into rough tow for
the cotton bapgine factories all of the flax straw
produced in the State; that it was only few
years ago, before these tow mills were estab-
lished, that hax-raising was improbable and fax
straw was burned off the farms. being too tough
to rot and enrich the ground, and there being
no market for it. but that since the establish
ment Of these tow-mills the farmers get reeu-
larly from 81 to so ton for the straw. They
declare that what is true 10 their State is true
IN many others. aud that free jute and free cot.
ton-bageing means the destruction of the cotton
bsgeing interest and the production OF faxseed.
the latter is improbable without market
for fax straw. Mr. Ganiz. of st. Louis who is
st the head Of the CottoD-bsgging Trust, testi-
fed yesterday before the Senate committee on
finance that the Cot'nn-baggng Trust was only
formed since the N ills bill passed the House, and
that had not that measure been adopted and the
prospect frightened for its ultimate passage in
the Senate, there would be nc such thing as q
cotton-bsggng trust; that is was formed with
view to getting out Of the stock hand as
much money as possible, so that the destruction
of the industry would fall as lightly possible
on the proprietors OF the eight cotton bagging
manufactures in this country.

English Bluster About the Fisheries.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Ths Standard. in q savage

be well for the President and government OF the

and that if the necessity should unfortunately
arise che has behind her the guns of English
iron-ciads. IL our American. cousins fail
to understand this allusion; il, 10 Differences
to the tone of coarse brutality which
seems TO be the distinguishing feature of their
domestic politics, they invite Us to reply to
their insults in q strain they will comprehend,
perhaps we may be allowed to remind them Of

The Standard further says III we have to
deal with q nation of flibusters, let rs at least
know It, We will tell our American cousins
frankly that we have not advanced so far toward
ideal Christianity that we are prepared to turn
our cheek to the transatlantic smiter."
