Jones, iron manufacturer and late chairman of the republican na tional committee, declares that the present depression in the iron trade "is due to the uncertainty and to noth ing else." He does not like the bill, but desires its early passage on the ground that every month's delay must bring additional detriment to industry It is nothing in ths bill that he fears, but prolonged inaction in the senate. EiliottC. Clark, of thj Boott cotton mills. Lowell, also regards the uncer tainty, and the possibility of delay in passing the bill as the sole soarces of danger to business. C M. Weld, print cloth manufact urer, is convinced that the measure will compel economy on the part of mill owners, and says that the only di rection in which economy is possible is in the redaction of wages. He does not take into consideration the possi bility of making the necessary saving by cuttinj down the very high salaries of officers of the manufacturing -corporations. Mr. Blaine very clearly showed that the labor cost of Ameri can cottons is actually less than that of British cottons, their only compet itors. If our print cloth mills cannot compete with the British without Mo Kinley duties the difficulty lies in soms other direction than tho wages of work men. A. P. Martin, shoe minufacturcr, of Boston, d-Hjs "not thin'i t'nat tho. p.w s ige of th Wilton biH would redut e the price of labor. It would opn Ihj markets of the -v 'l I t o:..nr i 1 l-i-tries. as it h;.s to the -h 'e and leather trade, by reason ol having, cheap rav materials." Bufus P. Grvieley. a Boston woolen manufacturer, is apprehciisive lest un der the opr.ition of thu Wilson bill th country may be "flooded with foreign goods s chj-.vp as t osnpjl a general reduction in prices of woolens. That is a prospect which thj working men, the farmers and other consumers of woollen goods will contemplate with the utmost equanimity. The opinion of no.irly all the manu facturers who have expressed them selves is that the one danger to busi ness is the possibility of delav in the passage'of tlie bilL Those who think its schedules likely to be in any way detrimental declare that thviir effect has already been discounted. Those who see no harm in the schedules agree with the others in seeiug a very posi tive danger in any unnecessary delay in settling the matter. Those who ap prove and those who disapprove the bill are of one mind in regarding its pasisnge as certain and its early passage as desirable in order that cunmefte and industry may qu'ckly adjust them selves to the new conditions. Thts one thinjr to be feared is sena torial pottering of the kind which has already this year cost the country a financial disaster. N. Y. World. SHUT TKEM OUT. Why Waste rrnciou T mo In I.lstenlnc to M oiuily Objctcr? Why should the semte committee on finance listen Ur the statements of man ufacturers'? The bill before the com mittee siys nothing of a purpose to curry on private business by means of tax laws. McKinley's tariff act did not profess to bind the government with pledges to insure given rat ?s of profit to own rsof mill machinery. It professed to lie an act to radue- revenue and to equalize duties on iia porta. If it bad been called ah act to satisfy the wishes, of certain private investors the court would have thrown it out at tho first lest case. Private interests clamor for hearings o get bounties. They have no infor mation for the general revenue pur poses of the government' Not the worth of a shoe laca are they caring for the relief f the treasury or tho welfare of the people. Hearings are claimed on the ground whose validity every democrat on the committee is . bound to deny on the cround that" a contract exists nnder . . .... which the government ras agreed mai these specified interests shall bj sup ported at the expense of other interests.

By a singular fatuity, common to the instinct-of the party, republican edit-! ! ors have se:zHl that part of Mr. Ueed'sj : speech in which her dealt with the! ; period of the English corn, law repeal! as the most brilliant and successful ef-' fort, not only of his speech, but of the! t debate. It happons that that is just! the portion of Mr. Reed a argument in which he was either ; entirely ignorant of the facts or iu which he most wlUK fully suppressed them. ! Let us state his position in all frank ness, in his own word: "According to the usual storv that is told, England had been engaged In a long and vain struggle with the demon of protection, and had been year aftee year sinking farther into the depths, until at a mome .t when she was in her deepest distress and saddest plight, Mr. Cobden and his friends provi4en" tlally appeared, and -after a hard struggle established a principle for all ; time and for all the world, and straight way England enjoyed the sum of ' human happiness. Hence all good na tions should do as England has done, and all would be well. 1 "This fairy tale has not the slightest : resemblance to history. as th.it crusade the same as is waged here to-day? Are the gentle men of the ways anl means committee legitimate successors of Br pht and Cobden and the Anti-Cora Law league? j Not the least in the" world That was a fight by the manufacturers -: This is ! -a fight agaihst the manufacturers." Now what were; the ; facts? Thai declaration of UieJeague, which di rected the repeal agitation, expressly! laid down the principle that all duties, were to be abolished Its organizers selected the duty on corn only as thai, most odious an I th most successful to appeal to the country on, for it touched every man's stomich (mostly thea empty, by virtue of its operation), but' the battle was continue I against every; other form of protection duty until the: nnmber of articles lfaole t duties has been reduced from the host, which 00 man could number, to a; total of lesa than twenty. '..- Mr. Reed put. in? the forefront the, battle for corn-tai repeal a repeal hr justifies, curiously enough, on exactly the arguments we denn-.crats use against him 'because it was an odku law enacted to enhance , the price of bread, not for the beneiit of the farmer, . . but of the aristocratic owner of the land;" just as we - say odious laws hero "enhance the prices." not for the bene-, fit of him who ui.tues. bnt 'of the aristo cratic combiner. Having go', so far. honestly, however,: U:i drops tha his tory of the repeals of pr.teetlve cus toms duties which followed oornt, and thea pauses, points, the moral to his, admiring and unenlightened satellites, and says: "Thank God we -are not. like those wicked E -glish tories who . enhanced the pricj of iaily bread. We do no such abomination, and there fore, gentlemen, tho democratic allu sion to the free trade campaign tt England is a 'fairy tale.' " 1 : We will continue- the history, la short, where Mr. Reed blindly pr will fully left it So multitudinous were) the articles subject to import doty AO) man could number them; they Wera like the sands of the sea.' No man lij lng at the time when, in August, l&alj Peel became prime minister and chans) eel lor of the exchequer, with an empsyf treasury, which higher and higher pro tection only starved more and more ef fectuallv, could bo found to tell tbss committee on import duties how manjl articles were really subject to datu All the most experienced secretary of the board of trade could say waa that there were 1.150 articles specifically mentioned, each having a nxjed speeifl duty charged thereon, but treat every thing which was missed by the specific duty was' covered by three other adj valoremduties of 50 and 5 and 24) pel cents.vTespectively, Anyway, the euas ; toms for the year ended January 5, lUi&j amounted b II L3,090,00a In the three years succeeding liit the duties on 500 articles were e nth-em. repealed and on 700 more the datlesf were reduced ; ' ' ' lu 1845 520 more article were plaoe9 on the free list at one blow. Nearljj all eustoms taxes on raw material werti released, the only exception being tin ber and tallow, which survived yet few more years i Where Peel left the ax in 1845 Gladi tone took it up in 1853, and before) 1800 he had reduced rates on 210 articles and repealed 110 daties. , r In 1800 be reduced rates on 56 artis . clesand repealed 250 duties. In IMS he brought tbe total of articles leviable; to 127j in lud to 100; in 1807 to 04, antjl In lfeiO to 47. ' . ; " "!' - , And yet Mr. Reed would have thss American voter believe the moveiQea was merely one begun and conclude against an odious eorn fax sad not fosr . the freedom of manufacture and raw material. Not so. The' corn law Waa the strongest point of attack. The principle admitted on that repeal car ried the logical sequence the ultlmAtf) freedom of all.
