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.
