in Congress for bimetallism have been the fargest and most significant recently recorded in that body. The newspapers of the country, outside of those which are inflacooed by Wall street, have, with surprising ananimity. But for all that the United States his bean pusaing in some quarters that ought to be well informed in Englan es a monometallic osantry. This curious toistaise has been the result of Looking at us through the perverted medium of a few Eastern publications. It would be diff- cult to find a parallel for a nismoaception so curione. In England the spectacle of an Ad- ministration holding ons opinion and Parliament another on a vital question is impossible. The Administration or initiatry has to coma over, to the views of Parliament or go out. With us, however, the Administrasjon lasts for its allotted torm, provided it does nothing impeachable, no matter whether it is in sympathy with Congress or not. The only resub is that it can do nothing to carry out its pet policy.
