The advocates of one-oent postage have
seized the opportunity offered by the
Loud bill to re-introduce their pet meas
ure. Senator Chandler very shrewdly
offers an amendment, which provides
that arst class mail matter and sealed
packages shall pay one cent for every
half ounce OF fractional part thereof, In
lieu of the rate now prevailing. If let
tiers generally weighed one ounce this
would effect no material decreaselinspos-
tai rates; but such is not the case. 1t
has been found that the average weight
of letters is somewhat below half an
ounce. In view of the annual deficit
which the .Postoffice Department is OBJ
liged to face, strong objections have been
made to one cent postage on account of
the decrease IN receiptsIwhich would very
naturally result from its adoption. To
meet this objection it is adroitly claimed
BY Senator Chandler that the provisions
of the Loud. iblL restricting the so called
abuse of second Class postage rates, would
effect such saving as to make up for
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1897-02-02

any reduction of revenue resulting from
the one cent lotter amendment. Whether
the saving from the ono would, as mat
ter of fact, compensate for the loss from
the other is, Of course, purely specula-
tive. From pr esent appearances it is not
probable that either the Loud bill or the
one cent postage measure. considered on
their own respective merits. could mus
ter sufficient numerical strength to &C.
cure their passage in the Senate at least.
Recognizing this probability the purpose
of their advocates obviously is to link
the two measures together, and by u
union of forces attempt to bring about
their adoption.

BIDIETALIsM AND AN INTERNATION-
AL CONFERENCE.

1t may be necessary, in order to live up
to the Republican PLATFORM for the next
administration to do what it can to
bring about international bimetalism,
but 1t will very early appear, no doubt,
that what it can do is very insignia
cant. No International conference fol
the promotion of bimetalism can amount
to anything as long as England remains
in her present attitude, and until there
is change of sentim emit in that quarter
is will be worse than useless to call one.
Every international conference that fails
is really setback for silver, because
every such failure is tantamount to a
declaration against bimetalisIn by the
commercial nations of the world, and
cools the ardor of its friends while it
strengthens the zeal of its enemies.
Hence the calling of such a conference
under present conditions would injure
rather than advance the cause of bimetal-
ism. The time is not now propitious,
and Senator Wolcott's sounding of Eng
lish sentiment shows that there is no
immediate prospects of change. There
are bimetalists in England, many of
them influential men, but the tide is so
strong against any abandonment.of the
single gold standard that no British gov
eminent would think for moment of ap-
| pearing to coquet even with bimetalism.
Mr.. Balfour, the private individual, is
bimetalist, but Mr.. Balfour, the men,
Der of the. ministry, would no more think
of proposing the abandonment of the
gold standard, than would Lord Sails
bury or Mr. Gladstone. Possibly through
| courtesy to US England could be induced
to take part In an international. monetary
conference, but before she did it her
ministry would make it appear very
| clearly to her people that her representa-
tives would be men who were unaltera-
bly, opposed to any change of standards
in other words they would make il clear
| that the conference was to be urely an
academic affair that could by no posi-
bility commit England to any radical
change or even slight modification of her
present system. This being the case the
| best service the coming administration
can do for International biInetalisin, is
to do nothing. If there is any leaven OF
bimetalism at work in the world its
opera ton will more likely be retarded
than accelerated, by an international
conference at this time.

The condition of the State Treasury as
disclosed by the report of the treasurer,
ought to force upon the Legislature not
only the desirability, but also the ne
oessity, of keeping appropriation down to
the lowest possible limit. 1t will proba-
bly, be impossible to avoid an increase
of taxation with the greatest economy
possible, but unless the cold shoulder is
turned to many of the applicants for
money, a much larger in crease than has
been deemed necessary will become in
evitabie. It is not at:all probable that
even this treasury statement will have
the effect to make anybody abate his
demands; so that the legislature and
the executive will have to do all the cut
ting down that is done.

The Indications are that the amend
ments made to the arbitration treaty
are not going to be acceptable to either
party to the instrument. If the London
press correctly voices English sentiment
Lord Salisbury can hardly fail to reject
them and if the Washington despatch to
Boston paper is correct President
Cleveland and Secretary Olaey SO little
approve of them that they will not
proclaim the treaty even if the Senate
should ratify it and England consent to
1t in it's amended form. Mr.. Olney's
objection that the, treaty as amended
will cover no question which would be
likely to lead to war, if it be foun ded
on fact, is certainly sound one. A
treaty that will cover no question of that
kind is hardly worth the making.
