INISTRY IN” PERL ?] on Cotton Question May Cause a Crisis Metion for the Adjournment of House of Common au Depends on Parneliites and Lan- ashire Members. Feb. 21.—After the preilm- Mary business of the day had been @leared away in the House of Com- fone to-day discussion bewan upon the ‘motion of Right Hon. Sir Henry James 4Liberal-Unionis), Member for Burg, Lancashire, for an adjournment of the House in order to call attention to the Indian import duties on cotton. ‘When Sir Henry obtained leave to fubmit his motion, the House was @rowded and great excitement prevailed 4m the lobbies. Sir Donald Macfarlane (Liberal), Mem- “ber for Argyllshire, asked whether Sir Henry James's motion was one contem- Plated by the Standing Orders, the sub- fect being of no more importance now than a week ago. “The Speaker ruled that the motion Was within the spirit of the Standing inasmuch as it referred to ‘he econo of duties in India, which, it Was alleged, called for an instant rem- ody. LONDO; The deciejon of the Speaker was greet-| @4 with loud Conservative cheers, On beginning his remarks on his mo- tion, Sir Henry James calied attention to the recent imposition of cotton duties in India. Bir Henry said that India was greatest market that Lancashire had for her cotton anil textile goods, The pr °°" gerity ot Lancashire depended upon that ot India. The cotton industry in India was flour- Jehing and had tar supplanted. the trade of Lancashire with China and “Japan. The Industry in Lancashire, con- . @equently was decreasin, Were made by the cotton maste working people were thrown out Smployment by the stoppage of mills or the curtailment of production, Sir Henry James charged that the s Fetary of State for India (Right Hon, Henry Fowler) hai listened to the ap- Peals of agitators in India while he had neglected to consult the manufacturers in Manchester, How, he asked, could the Government in the future urge upon Germany and France ani the niglish: colonies the advantages of free trade. when it had itse.i sanctioned the im position of import duties in India (Cheers ) The proposed duty would fall on Brit- fah manufacturer: Twenty thousand Jooms in the mills in Great Britain, on which 7.000 working people were em- ployed, have stopoed running and those people were idle. Right Hon, Henry Fowler, Secretary of State for India, in reply emphatically denied the existence of any agitation or conspiracy on behalf of any class of Persons on this subject. He had not, declared, listened to t wa of ugi- fators, but had taken counsel with the highest most distinguished servants of the Crown In India. Sir Henry James, he said, had charged him with sacrificing the interests of England, but he had falled to give the slightest proof in support of that accu sation, Duties hau previously existed ‘in Indla from the time that country was handed over to the Crown until they were abolished because they were considered protective. The House of Commons had by a resulution in 1877 declared in favor of the repeal of the duties ag soon as the finance cond tion of the country would allow THE ARMENIAN INQUIRY.
