1t is said that the ready acquies-
cence of the British government to the
proposition from our government for an
international commission on the silver
question was prompted by something
like free coinage sentiment that has
taken root in one of the industrial sec
tions of England. The London CORE
spondent of the New York Sun cables
that paper that the chief pressure brought
to bear upon the government came from
Lancashire, which has been almost
wholly converted to the belief that the
{ bimetaIlic standard would restore the
prosperity of its staple trade. The cap
ital invested in joint stock cotton mills
has deprecated 35 per cent. in fifteen
years, and the average net profits have
dwindled to one per cent. per annum.
Lancashire people, employers and work
men alike, have been taught to attribute
this alarming state of affairs to the low
price of silver and the fluctuations in the
exchanges. The government, in view of
the approaching general election in which
Lancashire is a very important factor,
was bound to do something; but the &C
ceptance of the United States govern
ment's invitation must not be taken to inn
ply that there is any immediate prospect
that England will adopt the bimetailic
standard. The Liberals will, in all prob
ability. be in power before the conference

CURRENT COMMENT.

A MEAN AND PRoFLIGATE MAJORITY
New York Press.l
The Democratic party having passed
| the most extravagant river and harbol
bill on record, has resumed the congen-
ial undertaking of trying to starve the
United States government.
Before rushing through the 0,000,-
600 measure, in which Demagogue Hol-
mans ''deestrict' was so literally pro
v1ded for, the majority in the House OF
Representatives distinguished itself by
crippling the consular service, refusing
to provide for seacoast defenses and
striking out the most important
sections in the bill for strength
ening the United States navy. The
| s'cheeseparing' policy is now being con-
tinued in the action of the House upon
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The United States Mint at Philadel-
phia is housed in an old building whose
accommodations are disgracefully made
quate. The House appropriations COM
mittee reported an appropriation of
S620, $500 for a new mint. The Demo-
cratic majority killed this provision.
The survey of public lands, in order to
throw the public domain open to settlers
as rapidly as possible, is of the utmost
iulpO OIbduCc. Ine democrats IN The House
have voted to check this work and
punish the new Western States for being
Republican by cutting down the amount
for the survey from S47S, 900 as named in
the official estimates, to S10S, 900. The
maintenance of the government light
house service in condition of high eff
cheney is demanded by every considera-
ton of civilized humanity. The Demo-
Gratis have deliberately reduced the light
house appropriation $3S,000 below the
figure necessary to keep the lights for
the protection of mariners burning on
our lake and sea coast during the coming
year.
These are only a few characteristic
performances of the incapable and I'M
worthy majority. The present House
has lavishly distributed appropriations
for public buildings and local improve
ments in the districts of Democratic Rep
resentatives. But it has turned deaf
ear to the appeals of patriotism and
humanity. Its course has been COM
pound Of meanness and profligacy. The
record which it has made constitutes the
most effective possible argument for the
election of a Republican House that can
be trusted to serve the real interests of
the nation.
The Portland daily press., 1892-05-17

has its first sitting, and that party is
strongly monometallist. 1t may be
speaking little hastily to describe the
bimetallism of Lancashire as anything
like free coinage sentiment. Yet n
England, where fnanciers have been de-
voted to the gold standard for upwards
of a century, any liberality towards sill
yer must be regarded as heretical. Yet
it may readily be understood how forci-
bly, the question is brought home to the
cotton manufacturers of Lancashire, who
must sell their cloths in India, China and
other countries whereisilver is the only
money, and where-that money has been
constantly depreciating in exchange
value.
The Portland daily press., 1892-05-17

After all the outcry raised by the Dem
ocrats over the financial record made by
the Fifty-frst Congress it might be ex-
pected that their party in the present
Congress would show to the country an
example of economy. Indeed, they for
mally declared in Mr.. Holman's econo-
my resolution. and called the nation to
witness the declaration, that as for them
and their House, they would put s'econ,
omy'' above all else. How they are do
ing it is best told by a Washington de-
spatch in that reliably Democratic pa
per, the Boston Globe:
AS to the comparative totals of the appropra-
tions at this session, and at the first session Of
the 51st Congress, the following table will be OF
interest. 1t shows the aggregate of the eight
appropriation bills which have passed the
House, as compared with the amounts of the
same bills as they passed the House mot as
they finally became laws) in the first session oi
the last Congress:
