THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. (treat Pkitain is sadly puzzled by the diffi culty of discovering the true cause of, or de vising a remedy for, the distress in her cot ton manufacturing districts. Tho mills are standing idle, and, as owners and operatives are suffering seriously from the industrial Suspension, the wisest political doctors are called in to examine and prescribe for the Afflicted patients. As usual, they disagree in diagnosis as well as in prescriptions. The disease is in "high wages," says one; "it is too much free trade," says another;, "it is soareo and dear cotton," says a third; "it is caused by the refusal of other countries to trade freely with us," says a fourth. From these diverse theories naturally proceed diverse plans for recuperation. "We must go back to first principles, restore a high protective system, and since we cannot force our goods on foreign markets, we mast At least secure to British workmen the oppor tunity of supplying all home demands," says a party of protectionists which has already gained sufficient strength to command great attention. "That plan is ridiculous," says John Bright, "for it is more ootton we want, and not more taxes on imports." But the London Times, in turn, contradicts John Bright, by asserting that "Lancashire suffers from a loss of trade more than from the dearness and scarcity of cotton," and whild it deplores the evil effects fin Great Britain)' of the protective tariffs of other countries, it sighs for a return of the good old days when we freely exchanged our corn and cotton for British manufactures, leaving to England all the profits of skilled industry. The Time is nearer right than either of the other authori ties, but if it cherishes the hope that America will ever be reclaimed as an escaped fugitive from indus trial vassalage to her British task-masters, we devoutly trust that this expectation will never be fulfilled. This nation can stand almost anything but that. Our British cousins would very gladly transfer the distress which reigns in Lancashire to the manufacturing districts of the United States, but this result can only be achieved by a gross betrayal , of the American people by Congress; and while that body resists the insidious appeals of the free-traders, Great Britain will seek in vain to shift her present trouble to our shoulders. The underlying cause of the British distress must be traced in the avaricious, unnatural, and crnel nature of the British governmental and industrial system. Under the unequal operation of her laws, the masses have been reduced to the verge of pauperism. From this great reservoir of poverty and wretched ness she draws unlimited supplies of cheap labor. And she has relied upon a continued control of the markets of the world through this cheap labor, combined with machinery and capital, in the expectation that other countries, and especially America, would be content to serve her perpetually as a hewer of wood, a drawer of water, and a cultivator of corn and cotton, contributing the gross pro fits of all our mutual business transactions to her enrichment. This expectation has, however, proved as fallacious as it was grasp ing, and the Lancashire workmen will find permanent relief only in emigration to this ' cotintry. ...... THE TERRIBLE PRIM. The wrath of the Spaniards over Minister Sickles' proposition, on behalf of the United States, to mediate on the Cuban question, is almost as terrific and quite as comical as was that of the English over Mr. Sumner's speech on the Alabama claims. In both case's the abatement of the excitement, on finding that there was no immediate danger, has been construed into a backing down on the part of the United States. Thousands of English men believe sincerely that the "blarsted" Yankees quailed before the power of British indignation, and the Spaniards appear to be as profoundly impressed with the idea that we are now in a state of fear and trembling, lest they should carry out their threats to blockade our ports, sweep our commerce from the seas, and carry desolation to our hearths and homes with the mighty armie 8 that will be landed on our shores. The cable despatches, if not always reliable in the way of information, generally reflect pretty correctly the state of public opinion in matters of this kind. We are consequently not surprised to road Buch a despatch as that published this morning, informing us that "since the return of General Prim to Madrid the language of the American Minister has been more conciliatory. " We all know that Prim is a terrible fellow, and it is easy to imagine how Sickles must have trembled when he heard that he had returned, and it was the most natural thing in the world for him to make his language more conciliatory under the circumstances. So far as we can ander stAnd from the very unsatisfactory despatches that have been published on the subject, Minister Sickles has done nothing in behalf of this Government but to offer the good ofnoes of the United States to effect the peaoeable separation of Cuba from Spain, or to induce the Spanish Government to offer such terms to the Cubans as will induce them to throw ' down their arms, with the assurance that the barbarities and outrages of the old system of ' rule will be almlished, and that , all their , . . rights as Spanish subjects. vUl be secured to "them ' This has been ' construed- by the United States, and, as we well know, any dis position the Government might have to nego tiate for the abandonment of Cuba has beon impeded by the opposition of the Spanish people, to whom the retention of the island is a matter of national pride; and any efforts on our part to procure a satisfactory settlement of Cuban affairs will of course excite the wrath of the whole race of Bobadils. But since Prim has returned and Sickles grown more conciliatory, we have good hopes that affairs may be fixed up without bloodshed. TEE BATTLE OF THE DULLS AND DEARS. Ten days ago the New York Tribune printed a short double-leaded editorial, commencing thus: "W are credibly informed that certain Dnanriers Of our city, in combination with European capital ists, have conspired to buy and withdraw from use thirty millions of gold, with latent to compel those who must pay (told at the Custom House or elsewhere to buyjof them at exorbitant rates." Yesterday the grand sehemo thus fore shadowed culminated in a terrific struggle between the bulls and bears, during which gold was rushed up to 102, and from that giddy height hammered down to 13:. The excitement was bewildering, and Broad street, the centre of the brokers' quarter in New York, became a veritable bedlam. From sheer anxiety men were driven to the verge of madness, their actions being described as absolutely indescribable. The struggle raged fiercely from 10 o'clock in the morning until quite late in the afternoon, the premium on the precious metal rushing back . and forth between the two extremes like a shuttle-cock. At last the Secretary of the Treasury pro mulgated an order to sell, and with another terrific struggle all along the line the bulls were routed, and the day closed with the pre mium at the lowest point touched, 17 per cent, below 150, the opening point. During the day the transactions were so enormous that when the smoke lifted from the field of battle the confusion was still as indescribable as during the heat of the con flict. The street was rife with rumors of failures and suspensions, and no man seemed to know whether he was on the brink of ruin or not. At 10 o'clock this morning a still further decline to 128 was reported in New York, but, in consequence of the general jumble and medley, and the impossibility to settle up the accounts of yesterday's trans actions, the Gold Board remained closed, and uncertainty reigned supreme. In the course of the day, however, it is probable that the market will seek a level, and the grand gambling scheme will then go. on as before the struggle of yesterday, without regard to the wrecks that have resulted from it. The whole scandalous transaction teaches an imperative lesson to the country. The surest, safest, and speediest policy for bring ing about a resumption of specie payments should command the support of all honest and patriotic men. ' ' , George Francis Train is still in the field for the Presidential race of 1872. But he persists that he and his associates will run in dependently, and especially that they will not accept the Democratic nomination, "Would any sane man," asks Train, "trust the Demo crats after 18;0, '(51, and '08, to drive ten jackasses abreast?" From all of which we are to infer that Train expects to have nine colleagues upon his independent ticket.
